WORTHINGTON, MIMI, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1907
FOUND SUCCESSFUL
Central Heating Plants Work Sat.
isfactoriIy Wherever Tried.

&lS'actOrlly wherever Tried.
The joint committee appointed
by the Board of Education and the
City Council, composed of E.. A.
Tripp and Z. NJ. Crandall, returned
last week from a trip to several
Minnesota and South Dakota towns,
where they inspected central heat.
ing plants, and will make their re.
port at meeting of the council. to
be held this evening. &
The school board is up against the
proposition of providing new and
adequate heating plant for the
High School building. For some
months past the board has been con.
sidering the plan of heating the
building from the city power house,
and it was for the purpose of secur-
ing information on this score that
Messrs Tripp and Crandall made
their tour OF inspection. They found
thatthe plan works satisfactorily
wherever used, and will, we under
stand, recommend it's adoption here.
If the scheme is carried out it ie
the plan to heat not only the High
School building, but the city hall,
public library and other buildings
on the route that may wish to be
connected up to the system.
twill mean small saving to the
school district in fuel and janitor
hire, but the greatest gain will be
in having the building properly
heated all over. The condition in
the past has been bad, and un-
der the present system of heating
there is no way to remedy it.

MOUNTED POLICEMAN
THROWN AND INJURED
Arthur McPhee Hurt While
Trying to Stop Speeding
Automobile Party

While attempting to stop an auto
mobile driven at high speed along Mar
ket street yesterday morning. Mounted
Patrolman Arthur McPhee was thrown
from his horse, when he stopped
abruptly to avoid collision, and sus-
tained painful and serious injuries. The
owners of the machine, which imperiled
the lives of pedestrians, failed to halt
after repeated commands and escaped.
McPhee was at his regular post at
the corner of Third and Market streets
when the automobile was coming up
Third street at a speed exceeding twen-
ty-ffve miles an hour. The policeman
shouted to the driver to stop, but his
command was unheeded and the ma
chine turned down Market street with
the mounted officer in hot pursuit The
machine was headed off partly at Mont
gomery street, but by@a quick nave
the chauffeur avoided the hand of, the
law and sped on. At Second street
the performance was repeated in detail.
While trailing the party in an attempt
to get the number, wagon impeded
the progress of the horseman. McPhee
drew up abruptly to avoid the wagon
and was hurled from his seat, suffering
a fractured kneecap and decorations
of the head and face. His only thought
on recovering consciousness was for his
faithful horse.

The statement that the Labor Coun-
ell at its Friday night meeting opened
the columns of the Labor Clarion to
Vice President NJ. ]. Sullivan to give
his version of the difficulty between
the Building Trades Council and E1ec-
trical Workers Union No. was err
roneous.
Denver claims to be one of the first
cities to solve the problem of success
full union label agitation, and letters
are received daily inquiring as to the
methods employed that have resulted
in such a great measure OF success.
The Denver Union Label League is
only one year old. yet it is seriously
considering plans to organize a nation
al head for all label leagues, and is
hopeful of making that city the ma
tional headquarters. 1t has from the
very start published a monthly called
the Union Label League Bulletin.
In answer to a statement that the
workin gmen of New York support 10,-
900 saloons between Harlem and the
Battery, Rev. Charles Stelzle makes
the reply that by actual count on the
East Side in New York the number
of people to each saloon license is 375
while in the Fifth avenue district,
where there are more college men and
millionaires than workingmen, the
number of persons to each saloon
license is 2S0.

ers years ago, will go out at once
to the Nevada Ore Sampling Company's
reduction works at Hazen, and this
will be followed by regular consign-
ments from the mine.
The Champion was a shipper many
years ago, at time when none but
high-gra ore could be handled at a
profit. The discarded ore carried from
to per cent red metal. The shaft
is down 4S0 feet and there are 5000
feet of underground workings. The
property is patented and was pur-
chased from Chicago capitalists. The
mine is three and half miles from
Luning and short distance from Nina.
The new sampling plant at Hazen.
just completed by the Nevada Ore
Sampling Company, has been purchased
by Scott & Amann and r. H. Miller,
who will conduct the works as an in
dependent concern and in competition
with the smelter trust. The works has
capacity of 800 tons per day. 1t will
buy and handle all classes of ores. The
first consignment of ore for the new
sampler, which has never yet turned
wheel beyond the test runs. will
come from the old Nevada Champion.

Some Prices Rise,
but Decline Is
idespread

the local mining stock market yester-
day. St Ives was one of the winning
features. With sales of 1920 shares
the price jumped from s1.5O to s1.67H
a share. Red Top Extension sold up to
$4,000 shares, but its progress was
downward instead of upward. The

Only the San Francisco Stock and

ton. The first joint meeting of the
members of the San Francisco Mining
Exchange and the San Francisco and
Tonopah Exchange was held. The fu-
sion of the two boards into one, to be
known as the San Francisco Mining Ex-
change, was ratified unanimously. A
decision was reached not to hold formal
sessions until arrangements can be
made to secure prompt telegraphic
service between San Francisco. Gold
field, New York and other points for
mining stock quotations. The officers
of the San Francisco Mining Exchange
are wrestling with this problem. Two
brokers were made members, of the San

KISSES WIFE WHILE SHE
IS ON WITNESS STAND

An overstrenuous display of affec-
tion on the part of Sebastian Merkel,
an old soldier. in Judge Graham's court
yesterday morning almost prevented
the success of a reconciliation between
him and his wife, Marie Merkel. which
was being nicely arranged when he
rushed TO the witness stand, clasped
her in his arms and kissed her.
Merkel and his wife have been mar
ried twelve years and have a nine
year-old daughter. Merkel is 81 years
old and his wife AZ. Three weeks ago
they separated, Mrs. Merkel beginning
suit for divorce on the ground of
cruelty. She applied for al-mony and
the matter came UP for hearing yes
terday. Merkel was present and ex-
pressed himself plainly as being op-
posed to the divorce which his wife
sought.
Il would like to have her come home
with me-" he volunteered. I'VE will
be lappy and comfortable and I'll be
as good to her as / can. I've got good
little woman and she is a good wife.
The trouble is that she hollers at me.
and then / get excited and put on my
coat and walk out. Please send US
home together. Judge"
Judge Graham said that was Just
what he wanted to do, and Merkel
went further into particulars. He
drew from his pocket a sealed envel-
ope, which he handed to the court.
That's my will" he cried. Break
ii open and read It. You will see 1
have signed everything over to my
wife. I am old and can't work, but I
have a pension and little income, and
/ get up every morning and make the
coffee while my wife reads the paper.
am crazy after her and I can't do
without her"
Judge Graham suggested that the es-
tranged pair return together and try
for two months to make up. It was
all that Merkel had asked, and he
sprang from his seat, ran to the wit
ness stand, where his wife sat, and
covered her face with kisses. Mrs.
Merkel objected, and the storm clouds
again gathered. But before the good
work could be undone, Judge Graham
called the couple into his chambers,
and five minutes later they left the
court together, under promise TO re-
main together at least two months
longer.
divorce was granted yesterday by
Judge Mogan to Laura A Bennicuff
from Harvey L. Bennicuff for extreme
cruelty.
Suits for divorce were begun by
Philip Epstein against Louise Epstein
for cruelty, Estelle M. Hubbell against
Charles w. fubbell for desertion, Will
liam T. Hie1ks against Sarah c. Hicks
for desertion and Simon Hartman
against Beulah Hartman for cruelty.

WEDDINGS CAUSE RISE
IN THE PRICE Of RICE
Marriages and Crop Failure
in China Responsible
for the Advance

The price OF rice has been advanced
and the retail dealers offer a dual
explanation. In the first place they
say the foods in China have caused a
great crop shortage. The crop fall
ures have been responsible for the in
creased prices throughout the world,
but San Francisco dealers say that
local conditions have brought about
a further advance. They state that the
large number of weddings held in San
Francisco of late has SO augmented
the demand for rice that an advance
in price has followed.
To prove that their contention is
not purely an academic one, local deal
ers point TO the unusually large num-
ber of marriage licenses issued in San
Francisco. Generous quantities of rice
are used to speed every bride on her
honeymoon and the grocers claim that
the amount is sufficient to affect the
market.

RHYoLITE, March lib. r. Taylor.
president of the Rhyolite Board of
Trade. in his report just before leav-
ing for the East on a tour in the in
terests of the Rhyolite Board of
Trade, said: There has been no time
in the history of the district in which
Rhyolite was as prosperous as it is
now. There are more miners at work
in the mines today than there have
been before and the supplies machin-
cry and hoists that are coming In
daily more than fill the capacity of
the road The Echo Lee district,
twenty-five miles south of the city. is
also in excellent shape. There have
been rich strikes in the Lee Gold Grot-
to and upon the Echo Lee properties.
while the consolidation of the Burro
interests will enable active mining to
be begun on that property at once.
'"The telegraph rate to the Pacific
Coast has been cut to so cents for
ten word messages by personal order
of Colonel Clowry and the Santa Fe
officials have assured me that they
will enter into no trade agreement
with the Salt Lake that will be detri-
mental-to Rhyolite interests in South
ern California have urged the
building of the San Pedro smelter for
the purpose of saving from 100 to 200
miles in the hauling distance to the
smelters, for the engineers of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah Railroad gave an
estimate of $4,000 tons of shipping ore
when the road was first talked of,
and with that much ore in the mines
a hundred miles on each ton will make
an awful difference to the shipper in
his cost price.

Shoshone line is practically complete

Labor unions Of Cleveland have a
new scheme to build their Labor Tenn
pie. To add TO the amount already
raised Il is proposed to have individual
unions subscribe for a certain number
Of shares Of stock each month. The
fathers have promised to take ten
shares a month, the BARRIERS, painters
and machinists five shares a month;
glassworkers one share a month, and
the steamitters decided to take 137
shares in sixty days. Other unions in
Cleveland are subscribing for so many
shares monthly and the plan seems to
work admirably. This idea might be
worth considering nearer home.
