GtURGE. REI1IG HAS
AN EXCITING RETURN
figures in Runaway on Arrival
From Purdue.
NO ONE WAS INJURED.

George Rettig. who has been attend
ing Purdue University for the past
year, had an exciting home coming
Saturday night. He in company with
his father went to the station to get
trunk and when they had loaded 1t
safely into the wagon. and were driv-
ing near Eighth and Main streets, the
horse became frightened at an inter
urban turning the corner, and started
west on Main street at a two-forty
clip People scattered in all direc-
tions while drivers gave the runaway
a wide berth. When the horse arrived
near Atkinson's second hand store
near Sixth street, the animal crossed
the sidewalk and started to climb the
narrow stairway leading TO a suite OF
offices above George jumped at this
point. but his father, Otto Rettig,
kept his seat and with the aid of a
few spectators to the exciting episode,
to get the horse under con
troll Other than broken harness and
badly scared men, no damage was
done.
The runaway was lucky in that no
one was run down although a large
crowd was on the streets at the time
of the affair.

COAL INTEREST MERGER
One Is Now Being Effected in
Scotland.
A CAPITAL OF MILLIONS.

London, June S.--A merger of Unit
ed States coal interests is being form
ed in Scotland Negotiations are now
in progress for a huge coal amalga-
nation in the Lothians, in which quite
large number of the principal col
lieries in East Lothian and Mid Lo-
THAN, which is leading center of the
mining industry in Scotland, will be
embraced. The capital of the COM
bine, it is believed, will amount to
about s6,125 900.
The collieries will employ about
1000 men, and it is expected that the
proposed arrangement will lead To a
much greater development of mining
throughout the east of Scotland. The
output in East Lothian has been more
than trebled in the last three years.

REFORM MIGHTY EXPENSIVE.

Secretary of State Frear surprised
the members of the legislature by
giving out an estimate tending to
show that the state treasury will be
bankrupt by January l next.
He estimates that after making
allowance for the customary appro-
priations for the maintenance of the
administration, educational, judiciary
and other departments of state govern
ment, there will be balance of only
$119, 900 i'll the treasury at the end of

TAXATION RUN WILD.

One of the beauties of reform taxa
tion is being experienced by the North
western Life insurance company, a
home institution. Last year, the COM
pany paid to the state taxes amount
ing to 1914, 900 which means that the
policy holders of the company were
assessed IA per cent on their Insurance
for the privilege Of protecting their
families. The present system of
taxation was devised, in order to fill
the state treasury, that there might
be more money to squander by those
claiming to be reformers. The state
expenditures might be reduced a third
If not half, and taxation IS IN a
corresponding degree. But the insane
cry has been "sock" it to everything

PLEADS Fur THE CHILDREN.

Senator Beverage certainly sprung
a sensation this week in the speech
that he made in behalf of his child
labor bill. 1t was remarkable speech
and unique in that it was accompanied
by large number of photographs
which we're passed around the senate
chamber and discussed while the
senator was talking The aim of
the bill is to enact federal anti-child
labor law. To secure this end it is
proposed to prohibit the transportation
of interstate commerce of the product
of any factory where child labor Is
employed. Senator Beveridge pointed
out that number of states have
excellent child labor laws, but the
Immense corporate interests which are
tattening off the produce of child
labor succeed an defeating the purpose
of these laws in almost every case
If state does enforce such law, 1T
is placed at commercial disadvan-
tage with any competing state which
either has no such law or having it
does not enforce it.
The details of Senator Beveridge's
speech were distressing in the extreme
to those who have any love for chill
dren, or regard for the future of the
national physique. He cited scores of
cases all supported by affidavits where
in children were kept at work from
nine to Uwevle hours day in the cot
ton mills of the south, in the sweat
shops of New York, the hemp factories
of Patterson, N. J.. and the coal mines
of m ost of the coal producing states.
He SAID that the cases he presented
by name We're not extreme cases He
cited them because they were typical
IF the thousands of cases all over the
country. In some instances which he
named, unfortunate little dwarfs of
from ten to twelve years of age were
kept at work on the night shift IN
mines and factories and drenched with
cold water when they fell asleep over
their tasks. In other cases he showed
factories that were surmounted by
stockade topppd with barbed wire. put
there as the foreman of the factory
explained t. keep the children from
ping once they had been carried
into work. His picture of how the
breaker boys were compelled to labor
in the coal mines was almost enough
to make one foreswear the use of coal
and he warned the Senate that it the
conditions now existing in this country
were not improved we would find the
physical standard of the nation declIn-
ing to the point that was shown to
exist in England during the Boer war
when sixty per cent of the recruits
were rejected because OF physical
disability, and where in actual con-
fiict, 10000 Boer farmers stood off
$50, 900 British enlisted men for more
than a year and one-halt.

REAPPORTIONMENT.

One of the duties of the present
legislature will be to reapportion the

state will neccessitate making the dis
tricts much larger and the southern
portion will in consequence of such
action, lose in representation.
