The Real John Brown.

The article on "The Real John
Brown" in The Record Herald
Sunday Magazine, by Frank B. San
ford, friend and supporter of John
Brown in his most active days. con-
tains number OF letters written by
or to him and number of incidents
of his life which are we'll worth pre-
serving.
The letter which John Brown
wrote from prison on the morning OF
his execution to his friend Loren
Case is especially worthy of fire.
quent reproduction:
"Your most kind and cheering let
ter of Nov %. is received" he wrote.
Such an outburst of warm-hearted
sympathy, not only for myself but
also for those who have no helper,
compels me to steal moment from
those allowed me in which to pre-
pare for my last great change in or
der to send you a few words. May
you ever prove your self equal to the
high estimate | have placed on you!
Pure and unde6led religion before
God and the Father is, as | under
stand it, an active, not dormant,
principle. send you my SALVATION
with my own hand. Remember me
to all yours and my dear friends.
Your friend,
John Brown
Such a letter shows most wildly
the stuff of which martyrs are made.
Whatever judgment may be passed
on Browns wisdom, Mr.. Sanborn is
surely not wrong in predicting for
him an ever more commanding place
among our country's heroes.

Francis Edward earn, having
learned that at least 1900 Republi-
can of Marshall county want him to
stop contending that he is county
chairman, has gone into court and
made an affidavit that William c.
Hendricks has an undue influence
over the people of Marshall county
We wonder what Eds feelings were
when Parks and Merrill Moores told
him that he would have to swear
that Hendricks had more friends
than Ed. earn

Ed earn having gone to the coun-

davit that he has no influence with
the Republicans of Marshall county
it is now more than probable that
every Republican nominated at the
convention called by earn will re-
fuse to accept and will come into
the regular Republican organization
and thus compel earn, Yockey. &
Co., TO abandon their efforts TO de-
stroy the Republican party of Mar

Republican stump speakers and
newspapers will, in 1906. have an
easy and pleasant task in setting
forth the benefits which the tariff has
conferred upon the country. They
can point to more prosperity at
home than has ever been seen in the
past, and can show the largest for
eign trade which has ever been roll
ed up. In the aggregate exports and
imports of merchandise the $1,000
900 mark has been almost reached.
In the fiscal year 1906 the exports
aggregated s1,744, 100000 and the
imports 226,Ooo,Ooo. In each item
the highest figures Of the past were
left far behind. We sold to the out
side world double as much merchan-
disc in the Roosevelt year just ended
as we did in Cleveland's year just
ten years earlier The balance of
trade our favor, which was s1o4,
900. 900 in 1896. was quintupled in
1906, when it reached s51s,000,0O0.

The Pure Food bill, passed by the
Senate makes it misdemeanor to man
ufacture or sell adulterated or nisbrand-
ed foods, drugs, medicines or liquors
in the District of Columbia, the Terri
tories and the iflsular possessions of the
United States, and prohibits the ship
ment of such goods from one State to
another or to foreign country. 1t also
prohibits the receipt of such goods.
Punishment by fine of $500 or by inn
prisonnent for one year, or both, is pre-
scribed. In the case of corporations, Of
fcials in charge are made responsible.
The Treasury Department and the De-
partnents of Agriculture and of COM
merce and Labor are required to agree
upon regulations for the collection and
examination of the articles covered by
the bill, but no specific provision is made
for investigation, except by the Depart
ment of Agriculture The investigations
by that department are placed in the
hands of the chief of the bureau OF
chemistry, and If he finds that the law
has been violated the Secretary of Agri-
culture is required to report the facts
to the United States District Attorney,
who in turn is required to institute pro-
ceedings in the Federal courts.
The bill defines foods, drugs, medi-
cines and liquors, and also defines the
standards for them. There is an exemp-
ton for dealers who furnish guarantees
against adulteration and misbranding.

NO STRIKE ON APRIL l.
Positive Statement By Official Of MIne-
workers.

indianapolis, (SpeciaI. In state
ment issued Vice President T. L. Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, declared that there will be no strike
of the mineworkers on April l, saying
the operators will restore the reduction
accepted by the miners two years ago
and, perhaps, more. The statement fol-
lows:
"You may accept one proposition as a
fixed fact-that there will be no general
strike in the mining industry April I.
The operators will restore the reduction
accepted by the miners two years ago
and, perhaps, more.
"Mr H. L. Robbins. of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, leaders of
the operators, recognize their untenable
position at Indianapolis, and have grace
fully submitted to the inevitable, and
will pay an advance to the miners. A
general strike will be averted. Business
will not be paralyzed by industrial strife.
| An era of peace will be established for
another period of years, and the trade
agreement method of settling labor DIS
putes will win new friends TO its stand
ard
1.-THE anthracite operators must now
grant an advance in view of the action
of the bituminous operators
"The details will be worked out late
and probably through special national
convention of the mineworkers.
For two years it has been my deter
mined purpose to have all wage agree
ments of the miners terminate on the
same date so that unity of action might
be secured without violating existing
agreements on April I, 1906. The first
move in this direction was made in
Pittsburg, Pa, in the summer of 1904
when the expiration date of the contract
was extended from the end of August
| to the end of March, this year. Prac-
tica1ly all of our agreements expire
! March 81 next. BY virtue of this ar
rangeinent the mineworkers of the coun-
try are now in position to compel the
operators to deal with us justly.
AT the recent joint convention in In
dianapolis, | advocated an advance for
the miners because believe they are en-
titled to it.
"The operators at the recent Indiana
polls convention showed the strongest
evidence of the weakness of their posi-
ton when they ignored Our arguments
that they could pay an advance to the
mineworkers at the present selling price
of coal and still make large profit.
Developments will prove additional facts,
namely
"First-That some of the large corpor-
atoms represented at the recent Indiana
polls joint convention were not in a po-
sition to make a successful resistance
of the miners demands.
"Second- THAT the great coal consunl-
ing public will not materially suffer by
reason of the advance which will be
granted to the miners.

Vice President.

Rumors are again current that Union
Pacific will distribute big extra divi-
dend.
Harriman's friends brand as untrue
the assertion that he is trying to wreck
the Illinois Central preparatory to buying
it for the Union Pacific.
If there is no setback earnings of $780,
100000 for the current quarter or nearly
ST., 100000 in excess of earnings in the
last quarter of 1905, are predicted for
United States Steel.
Northern Central directors were re-
elected at the annual meeting of share
holders. 1t had been expected that the
committee appointed several years ago
to see what could be done toward leas-
ing the Northern Central and the Penn
sylvania, also to recommend that the
dividend rate be increased, would make
a report, but nothing was said about it
at the session.

Gambler, Ohio (SpeciaD -Three boys
are dead, nine severely injured and sew
eral others more or less hurt as re-
suit of fire which destroyed Miner
Hall, Kenyon Military Academy, Del
ano and North Halls and North An
mex.
The fire started at a A. M, while the
students and college authorities were
asleep, and spread quickly through the
buildings named, which were consumed.
The search for the missing boys, the
bodies of whom it Is certain are in the
ruins, was kept up till late in the after
noon, when the walls of the burned
structures fell and their recovery is
now regarded as impossible for some
time. The search was impeded by
the fact that the ruins were still red
hot and made passage through them
nearly impossible.
The falling walls barely missed DR..
Peirce, president of Kenyon, and Regents
Want and Williams, who were lead
ing party of searchers through the
ruins. The dead and injured are all
students of the Military Academy and
old Kenyon.
Parents, sisters and brothers of the
dead and injured students arrive on
every train The news Of the fire spread
quickly over the State and kilograms
were sent at once by the college author
tiles to parents of the boys injured.
The property loss by the destruction
of the buildings is estimated at 100000,
with 90 per cent. insurance
Eighty-fve boys were in the dorni-
tory when the fire started. An effort
was made to effect military formation,
but the younger students forgot their
military training and rushed about the
burning building in panic, shrieking
and crying for help.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
This is the second time the Kenyon
Academy buildings have been destroyed
by fire.
The recent sensational 1azing case, as
result of which it was alleged that a
student from Cincinnati lost his life, took
place at Kenyon College, a separate in
stitution from the military academy
which was destroyed.
