An Important County Office.

The county commissionership is
one of the most important offices in
the gift Of the people. It is i'm
portant that the county commission
er be man of tried buSiness capac-
ity and a man Of a positive moral
character. Besides making the ap-
preparations, levying the taxes and
conducting the business matters of
the county, the commissioners are
called upon to fill vacancies that
may occur among the county off,
cials, to select the jury list and
even to pass on applications for sa-
loon licenses if by any chance any
township should vote in favor OF
the same. There are usually two
kinds of men found serving on the
county board, viz, the kind that
has no mind Of his own and does
what other interested people tell
him to do; then the kind who
weighs everything carefully in his
own mind, figures out what is right
and then goes ahead without fear
or favor. This county has, as a
rule, been fortunate in the standard
of its county board in the past and
we do not believe that the people
of the districts involved in the elec-
tions will have any difficulty to
choose the best man for the posi-.
tion.

Governor Wilson charged
that various Democrats are

of the Equity Society, although
Republican, is trying to secure

favor night riding and are oppos-

WITH THE MINES AND MINERS. =

other demands which they ex-

Present agreement expires next
March. And strange to say, they
are advised by those in command
TO be conservative in their de.
mands, is that no point may
cause rupture between them
and their employers.
The Mt. Vernon Illinois coal

efal months, has resumed work
with its regular force Of 500 men.
Tie miners in Belgou certain
~ make poor wages, when it

that mined by 35, 200 in West

for a coal famine. Superior has
bug coal pile with over 3,000,-
000.tons of coal in it; nearly a
million more tons than she had
this time last year.
In 1907, over 800 lives were lost
by mine explosions in West VIr-
ginia, Pennsylvania aud Ala
bama, within three months, and
stfangs to say, that experts sent
to investigate the cause, failed
to agree upon any certain state
ments Of facts.
Manager +. ID. Rash has so ar
ranged that Hecla mine will not
have to shut down while the new
scales are being put in, The
shaker will be so adjusted as to
allow the loading of coal on the
nut track instead Of on the main
track. All kinds of eOal except
nut coal can still be made under
the new arrangements, and as
two weeks will be required to
put the new scales In a big loss
of time and production of coal
will be saved. The new scale
timbers are on the ground and
the new scales are expected this
week, ana Cheo the Work VIII
commence at once.
One of the most hard fought
battles ever taking place be-
tween coal operators and their
employees, is now ranging at the
Hudson mine in Indiana, where
the operators discharged a mule
driver for violating a rule con-
tanned in the agreement. The
loss in wages to the miners since
the strike was inaugurated has
exceeded $50, 900 and the loss
per month to the operators is es-
timated TO 81 800 which amounts
the Indiana Betuminous Coal
Operators Association have de-
cided to REIN burse the owners of
the mine, for loss during the
strike.
