COAL STRIKE TO END.
Indiana Operators and Miners Union
 Practically Reach an Agreement.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 30.-The subcommittee of Indiana coal opera tors and miners practically reached an agreement today for reopening the mines and it is expected that many of them will resume operations on Fri day or Saturday.
 The miners have made one import ant concession which has been a bone of contention for several years and this has hastened the steps to- wards agreement. The miners have agreed that a penalty shall be assess ed agains tbe union joining in what Is known as stampede strikes; that is. strikes in which the miners leave of work without any notice to the operators.
 The old agreements provided for ar 4bitration In all cases of differences, but the miners ignored this provision and went out on any and all pre- texts, frequently causing great loss to the operators. The union will hereaf- CT pay damages in such cases.
 The agents of the several compan- les in this city received notice today that work will be resumed the latter part of the week and that contracts could be made accordingly. The op- orators will sign the 1903 scale with some important changes in working conditions, chief among which is he provision against stampede strikes.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 30.-Asserting that the coal companies of the Hazel- ton region are not obeying the agree ment. President William Dettrey and Charles Gildea of the mine workers union went to New York this morn ing to confer with President Baer. They say that many prominent mine uEon workers have failed to obtain unemployment and they will protest against this alleged discrimination.
 The breaker boys at the Heidel- berg colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company went on strike this morning because the company refused to reinstate Breaker Boss Joseph Mar ti n.who had obeyed the suspension order issued by the union and had quit work. He was put in another place an new man was place over the boys. They announced this morn ing that they would not work until Martin was reinstated. The mine is idle.

Originally the time extending from
Septuagesima Sunday to Ash Wednes-
day was known and observed as shrove

time. In the early days of the church
the whole period after Septuagesima
Sunday seems to have been time for
preparations for the penitential season

aration consisted in receiving the sacra-
ment Of penance- in being "shriven, "

GOOD ROADS ARE ECONOMICAL

Good modern roads may seem expen-
sive, but they are really less so to the
public than bad highways. The roads
which the State of Maryland is con-
structing are costing no more than sim
liar roads in other States, and they will
prove a permanent investment for our
people. 1t is far more economical in the
long run to build structures which re-
quire but small amount for mainten-
ance than to do cheap temporary
work that will constantly require re-
pair, to say nothing of the comfort and
pleasure to be derived from good work,
and of the great reduction in the cost
of repairs to vehicles and in the trans
portation of freight over smooth, dry,
well graded roads is quickly made APP
parent in the increased value of real
estate and in the improvement of all
conditions surrounding country life. AS
the Governor says in his message,
"There is nothing which the State can
do which will be of more lasting value
than the construction of a modern sys-
TEN of public highway"

THURSDAY, JANUARY IS, 1906.

THE town knocker deserves no consid-
GRAFTON. If you meet him and he begins
to "speil'' hit him with a stuffed club
over the place where his brains ought
to be. He has no legitimate place in
any community and it would be bless
ing if he would leave. He is to the com
munity what the mere consumer is to
the nation. He has no soul and no pa
triotism; no interest save to serve his
own selfish ends. According to his way
of thinking just because our fathers got
along with the tallow dip and without
any of the conveniences, this generation
should get along in the same manner.
Progress is a word which never had a
place in his dictionary and he doesn't
understand its meaning. Town conven-
fences might cost him a few cents in
the way of taxes and he can't afford the
outlay A few third class funerals in
almost any community would be a bless
ing.

CHANGE THE ELECTION LAW.

The Reform League of Baltimore
city, will urge return'of the election
law of 1896, including the party emblem.
The League will send a committee TO
Annapolis to work for the repeal of the
present law and the restoration of the
old one'as above stated.
The only change recommended in the
law of 1896 is in providing voters shall
not receive assistance in!marking their
ballot unless physically disabled The
Wilson ballot is denounced by the
League and states that under the old
law there was no such wholesale disfran-
chisement of.white as well as colored
voters as is the case under the present
statute
We fully endorse the action of the Re-
form League of Baltimsre, in this mat
ter and trust their earnest endeavors t
purify the disgraceful ballot law Of this
State will not prove in vain. The people
of Garaett county, Democrats and Re-
publicans, as we have stated on previous
occasions, are thoroughly disguised with
the present election law, They want
better and more simple ballot, and
should make the election law for the
State uniform. No better law can be
passed than the election law of 1896, as
under that law no one but can admit it,
elections were the fairest ever held in
the State and every man entitled by the
constitution to vote was able to do so
without trouble.

. SaVED ny LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
s1m1l a I expressions are
made so often in COnneC-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a c t / o n of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
nlent that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak Or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.
