FATE AND A NAME.
John, When Borne by Royalty, Seems
Linked With Misfortune.

John, When Borne by Royalty, Seems
Linked With Misfortune.
It is interesting and somewhat curl
Gus to note the persistence with which
misfortune has logged the name Of
John when borne by royal persons.
although no i'll omen seems to attach
to it In the case of ordinary citizens.
For instance, King John Of England
has always been regarded, whether al
together Justly or not, as a most infa-
nous prince. John Of France was
taken captive by the Black Prince, and
John Balliol of Scotland was most
thoroughly despised by his country
men on account of his fawning atti-
tude toward the English. Robert III.
Of Scotland changed his name from
John but this did not save him from
his destiny. He himself was cripple
and died of a broken heart. the most
tragic fates having overtaken all most
dear to him.
John l. of Bohemia was blind. The
Pope John 1. was imprisoned by the
king Of the GOths, and Pope John X.
was driven from Rome by the Duke of
oned by his brother and is supposed to
have been poisoned. a fate similar to
that of Pope John XIV. Pope John
XIV. was forced to fee from Rome and
died of fever in Tuscany. John XVI,
dubbed the ''antipope." after troubled
career, was brutally tortured and con-
signed to dungeon for the brief re-
mainder Of his life.
John 1. Of Constantinople was poison.
ed; John II. was killed while hunting
wild boar, and John III. was dethroned,
his eyes put out and left to die in pris-
on John l. Of CASTLE was killed by a
fall from his horse.
This is not by any means a complete
list of the unlucky Johns, but it serves
to show the fatality which seems to
cling about the name in so far as roy
atty is concerned.-Chicago Record

TOWN IN TERROR
1t Follows Resignation OF the
Marshal Who Has Been
Threatened.
THREATS OF LYNCHING.

Brazil, Ind, April 2-Peter DER
derff, marshall of Center Point, re-
signed Wednesday, following the re-
ceipt of a threatened letter similar to
that which foreshadOwed the destruc-
ton of the X. of P. Building last
week. The letter warned the marshal
that unless he resigned at once he
would receive the same rough treat
ment that has terrorized the people
of Center Point. In the letter was a
match.
The quiet little town is undergoing
a reign of terror following the resigna
ton of the officer In fear of further
outrages by an unknown enemy, the
people are panic-stricken. Threats OF
lynching are heard on all sides, but the
citizens can find no one upon whom
to bring justice.

ORANGE IS COLOR
OF ICE TRUST
Wagons of Rettig and Johnson
Company Are Out.

Large brightly painted orange col
ored wagons are now appearing on
the streets and from them the local ice
combination delivers its product. The
Rettig 6; Johnson Company claims it
is not a trust but merely a business
organization for the purpose of EN-
gaging in the manufacture and deliv-
cry of ice so as to derive some profit
from the trade. 1t represents a COM
bination of the Independent and Tn
ion ice companies that for the past
two years have been waging relent-
less war on each other. The new
company will be without opposition
in the local field and the public must
buy ice at the rate for which it is OF
fered or be without the use of the re-
frigerating product.

PRESIDENT LEWIS
WANTS STRIKE ENDED
Has Issued a Call to Operators
To Meet in Conference
Monday.
WANT EARLY SETTLEMENT.
OPERATORS, ALTHOUGH THEY
SAY SHUTDOWN is GOOD FOR
THEM IN A BUSINESS WAY, DO
NOT LIKE STRIKE IDEA.

Columbus, O., April 1.-The Ohio OPP
orators Wednesday afternoon received
an invitation from President Lewis, of
the United Mine Workers, to attend at
indianapolis a meeting next Monday,
when the question of calling joint
conference of the miners and operators
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Western
Pennsylvania to revive the interstate
agreement, will be considered. Rep
esentatives of the miners and operators
of the four states, which comprise the
central competitive field, will attend
the conference.
Notice of the proposed conference
came to local operators IN kilograms
and they replied at once. accepting the
invitation to attend.
With only engineers and bumpers at
work in the coal mines of Ohio, both
operators and miners are looking for
an early adjustment of the new wage
scale, and it is the general opinion in
the ranks of both employers and EN-
ployes that a joint conference of min
ers and operators of the interstate COM
petittve field, composed of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois and Western Pennsylvania
wifi soon settle all differences.
. For Country's Interests.
Interviews with the leading operat.
oHB show that while a suspension OF
some weeks probably would be a good
thing for them in business way, they
are anxious for an early settlement in
the interest of the business of the coun.
tn.
Indications are that there will be nc
prolonged discussion of the ne wscale
- the price will remain as 1t is at
present and the only difference will be
in regard to working conditions. and
these will be settled in some way.
While the suspension is on the the
operators can do no repairing at the
mines, as the men at this work come
under the scale agreement. the only
workers, the employment Of which is
sanctioned pending an agreement, be.
ing the bumpers and engineers.
Have Too Much Coal.
1t is stated here that the operators
are not averse to having the mines
idle for some time. as they have thous-
ands of tons of coal at the docks on
the lakes, which the mild winter pre-.
vented them from selling, and this is
to be disposed Of before they agree to
any scale or other question before the
Joint conventions for settlement.

FOR GAS METERS
Company Adopts New Device
to Add Dollars to Its
Treasury

A new device has been adopted by
the gas company to add easy dollars

sent to ali consumers informing them

below a certain sum, monthly rental

as the company shall think proper. In
case of meter falling to register an
average bill will be made. When no
gas is consumed a monthly rental will

.SAN JOSE HAS A
MODERN SCHOOL
Many Subjects Also Thoroughly
Taught by System of
Correspondence

Here is brief history Of the Modern
School of Business of San Jose:
The school was organized in the sum-
mer of 1902. In 1908 the school was
incorporated and capitalized at $4,000.
In October, 1903, a correspondence de-
partment was added. under the manage
ment of George T. Pratt, who had
for number of years been connected
with a large and we'll known corre-
spondence school Of Springfield. Mass.
The school has students in California,
Oregon, Washington. Nevada, Utah and,
in fact, in most OF the Pacific coast
states, studying by correspondence.
The subjects taught by correspond
ence include elementary and common
school branches, high school. normal,
modern languages, drawing, engineer
studies for which inquiries are made al
most daily.
The resident school is confined chiefly
to teaching commercial branches.
The school rents a portion of the
building it occupies to the Y. NJ. c. A.,
and by the terms of the lease has the
privilege of entering all students in the
resident school in the regular gymna-
sium classes of the Y. M. c. A. two
afternoons each week, privilege which
can not be offered students by any
other business college in California.
In this connection it may be said that
the Y. NJ. c. A. is in no way connected
with the school. other than occupying
rooms in the Modern School building
and that students are not required To
join the association or to conform to
any of its rules or regulations, except

exceeds the amount of the rental.
While it is freely admitted that one
purpose of the new charge is to bring
IN additional revenue, the company
claims that 1t may do so under the law
The supervisors are given authority un-
der the statutes to fix the rates, but
the members of the board are not sure
as to their jurisdiction over the meter
charges. This will be made a subject
of investigation by the board.
When the supervisors take up the
question 1T is understood that all mat
ters relating to meters and meter
charges Will be considered. Complaints
nave been general against the regula-
tlons OF the company requiring a SIS de-
posit. Many persons will naturally feel
that under the new rule they will be
paying rental upon their own property
The controversy over the meters de-
stroyed in the fire of 1906 may also be
taken up by the supervisors. Thousands
OF consumers had paid a deposit on
meters which were destroyed, but it is
not on record that their money was
refunded.
