PROPOSITIONS REJECTED
BY THE COAL OPERATORS
Announce Their Decision In Reply
to the Demands Of the Miners and
Submit a Counter Proposition.

New York.-The propositions Of
The United Mine Workers Of America
for a readjustment of wages and con-
ditions in the anthracite coal fields, as
a whole. have been denied by the
committe representing the anthra-
cite operators. AS a counter PROPOSE
ton the operators suggest that the
awards made by the anthracite coal
strike commission. the principles upon
which they are established by the
commission and the methods estab-
lished for carrying out their findings
and awards. shall be continued for a
further term Of three years from the
first day of April, 1906. The present
agreement terminates March 81 OF
this year
The demand of the miners that the
operators enter into an agreement
with the union is declined on the
ground that the anthracite operators
stand unalterably for the open shop.
and again decline to make an agree
ment with the United Mine Workers
of America, an organization controlled
by rival industry"

HabIt-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact IS to many
Of the so-called patent medicines con-
taiuing Injurious Ingredients as broadly
published in some journals Of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great interest In aruuaing needed
attention to this subject. It has, In q
considerable measure, resulted In the
most Intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may Ne fairly sus-
pected Of containing the injurious ingre-
dents complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DIR. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, took time by the forelock, " as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients OF which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
therm0re, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots Of
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths OF our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead OF alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as In obstinate
cases OF diseases, becomes highly obiec-
tionable from its tendency to produce .
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple-refned
glycerine, which Of itself Is valuable

son Medical College, Phila Scudder, OF
Cincinnati; Ellingwood, of Chicago;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools OF
practice, the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that DIR. Pierce
could have chosen TO make up his "a

its various forms wherever located.

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED +?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"A horse is a valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed. comfortably
stabbed. carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. ~ he receives
these attentions he will work well
and improve in value A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required none Of these
attentions for he was able to look
out for himself The donestieated
animal, being worked under condi-
tons that are in themselves artificial
must be kept in condition for such
work
The clipping of horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to a horses well being as shoeipg
him or giving him comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after hard days work,
and will rest comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More
especially is this so in the early
spring when his hair is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food
that should go to nourish him will be
used to replenish the heat that Is be-
ing constantly taken from his body
by the mass of cold wet hair. If
clipped, the perspiration will evapor-
ate almost as soon as secreted, and
when put in the stable he rests com
fortably and his food does him good.
Some years ago Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
In the following manner: They own
ed 500 horses, and $50 OF these were
clipped early in the spring and 250
were not clipped A careful record
was kept of results and 1t was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1853
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health if he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear, heavy suit and fur overcoat,
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would, go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu-
lous to expect horse to be in perfect
health if worked under the same con-
ditions.
II you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse,
treat him right, and be sure and
clip him in the early spring A first
class housekeeping machine can be
bought at almost any hardware store

OFFICIALS ARRAIeNEp.
Decide to Enter No Plea Until a Later
Date

Caldwell, Idaho.-Moyer, Haywood
and Pettibone were arraigned before
Judge Smith Friday morning. They
entered no plea, having decided to
wait until next Friday morning at 10
O'Clock to answer to the charge. AS
has already been told, the men were
indicted jointly with John L. Simpkins
for. the murder of former Governor
Steunenberg on the S0th day of De
cember The men, heavily guarded
but not shackled, were taken from
Boise early in the morning and brought
back and returned to the penitentiary
Immediately after noon.
With his face turned toward the
sunshine that streamed in a great
golden flood through the wide window
near him, Meyer, head of the Western
Federation of Miners, stood in the lit
tie court room and listened without
appearing to listen to the reading of
The long Indictment against him. Next
to Meyer stood Pettibone. Haywood
was at Petitioners right. Both Hay
wood and Pettibone listened intently
to the reading. Meyer gave no out
ward manifestation of interest.
1t is set up in the Indictment that
the men personally supervised the
construction of the bomb and the
placing thereof Two specific charges
are made The first is that the de-
PENDANTS discharged the bomb them
selves in some manner to the jury UNI
known. The second is that they so ar
ranged the bomb that Steunenberg
himself, by opening the gate at which
he was killed, upset some sulphuric
acid in the Internal machine, and that
the said acid exploded the dynamite
caps, giant powder and other material
of which the bomb was made.

Il did intend, as you say, to buy

First l looked at kitchen tables.
Then the clerk called my attention to
the kitchen cabinets, with drawers
and everything. Then | said how mucn
they looked like bureaus. except that
they had no glass. Then he showed

SO then he showed me dressing case
with nice glass mirror, and SAID
what nice glass it was. And then he
said, If you want to see fine piece
