INSPECTION OF
RURAL ROUTES
The Work is to Begin Next
Week Throughout Indiana
and Ohio.
GOOD SERVICE DEMANDED.
EQUIPMENT OF CARRIERS is TO
BE LOOKED AFTER AND EVERY
THING MUST BE UP TO THE
STANDARD.

Beginning next week the govern
ment will start about twenty inspec-
tors at work along the rural routes of
Indiana and Ohio.
1t is said that a thorough inspection
will be made and it will extend to
the various interests of the rural
service. The inspectors will make
careful inquiry as to what sort of SER
vice the carriers have been giving to
their patrons, how they keep up their
equipment and the other matters pre-
tanning to the service. 1t is said that
some of the carriers in this state have
rigs that are worth about $40 and with
such equipment it is impossible to give
good service. The equipment is also
a disgrace to the department and this
will not be tolerated
On the other hand the inspectors
will see that each patron has box
of the required kind and if he has not
and will not provide it he will be deni-
ed service. Roads will also be exam
ined and the duties of the patrons to
the carrier will be scrutinized just as
closely as will the other matters per-
tanning to the rural business.

ctitute.

Miss Rebecca White of Philadelphia
whose gift of $4,000 to Whites insti
tute at Wabash was mentioned last
week was a personal friend of Supt
and Mrs. John U. Hardness, but that
was the first intimation they had OF
her death. Supt. Hardness had in
tenaed to be present this week at the
National Charities convention but his
critical illness made the trip impossi
BILE. He was to have been her guest
but as he had announced he could not
go he had not learned of her death
She was daughter of Josiah White
founder of Whites institute and was
the last of the family, being eighty
years of age. Like her father, she
was interested in this kind of charity
and as the institute has returned t.
the plan of her father by abandoning
the education of Indians she was glae
to give this aid.

OHIO OPERATORS
GIVE DECISION
They Declare That They Will
Open Mines During the
Present Week.
TO IMPORT NON-UNIONISTS
PRESIDENT YOUNG VERY BITTER
IN HIS STATEMENT AGAINST
MITCHELL-HE CLAIMS 1T is
INEVITABLE.

Cleveland, O., May 15.-"We will
open our mines this week if we have
to import non-union miners from West
Virginia to do it" said President T. E..
Young of the Association of Ohio oper-
ators of the Pittsburg vein tonight
The mines owned by the members
of the association are in Jefferson,
Belmont, Harrison and Athens count
les and employ about $4,000 men.
Mitchell has driven us to this
course" Young continued. He declin-
ed all our overtures toward a peaceful
settlement by arbitration. In addition
reports have re cached US that there
may be an order to the engineers to
stop the pumps this would cause a
flood in the mines and do irreparable
damage. If we can't get along with
the union we must get along without
it."

NEW TACTICS.

The railroad senators in their fran
tic endeavors to defeat the rate bill
are practicing new tactics Their
present mode OF procedure is to make
lit appear that the president in agree
ing to certain amendments, has come
over to their side, and they are trying
to prove this to the people. But they
have taken so crooked a way in doing
this that their whole conspiracy has
been exposed. Moreover Senator TILL
man, who was the main actor in the
fiasco, Is either catspaw in the hands
of the railroad senators or traitor to
the people of this country, and only
to be classed with the representatives
of the special interests. Senator Till
man in senatorial speech in the SEN
ate, accused President Roosevelt of
breaking an agreement in regard to
his position on the rate bill, and fur
thermore stated that Attorney General
Moody was also against the so-called
surrender of the president to the rail-
road interests. Attorney General
Moody, however, brands Senator TILL
mans statement as a falsehood, and
declares that he and the president are
of one and the same accord. Natural
ly this puts Senator Tillman in a
very embarrassing position and espec-
tally so in view of his recent pose as
the champion of the people against
boss" Aldrich and the rest of the
railroad crowd. So rank betrayal on
the part of Tillman should take from
him all right to be called "pitchfork,"
for in view of his deliberate attempt
to stab the president in the back and
betray the people at the same time,
he is entitled to no more honorable
name than "stilletto," or some other
term signifying double dealing.

FOURTEENTH STREET QUESTION.

FOURTEENTH STREET QUESTION.
From present indications there is no
doubt but that Fourteenth street will
be vacated in order to afford the
Hoosier plant an opportunity to expand.
Public opinion throughout Richmond
is overwhelmingly in favor of the pro-
posed action, as it is generally felt
that this city, before seeking to attact
outside industries, should first show a
disposition to help the industries al
ready located here. No better indi
cation of this could be shown than
by the vacation of Fourteenth street
The petition of the American Seeding
Machine Company has been presente d
to the Board of Public Works, and will
probably be favorably acted upon the
latter part of the week

A woman once wrote us
that she was not going to
buy SCOTS Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. SCOTS Emul-
sion costs more because it is
worth more-costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it, too.
If We did. however, SCOTS
Emulsion wouldn't be the
