TOST|MULA7E PRICES.
Mitchell Declares Some Coal Pro-
duCers Desire a Strike.
BIG CONVENTION OF MINERS
Meeting at indianapolis to Decide on
Course to Pursue After April l.,
When Wage Scales in Bituminous
Districts Expire.

Indianapolis, March The ma
Workers of America went into session
here to agree upon a course of action
resulting from the failure of the oper-
ators and miners of the Central COM
petitive field to agree upon a joint
wage conference to fix a scale to
succeed the present scale, which ex-
pires April /.
The wage scales for the various
| bituminous fields of this country and
| Canada are based upon the scale fixed
| in the Central competitive field, con-
sisting of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania. Failure to
agree upon a joint meeting to fix a
scale in this field has caused Presi-
dent Mitchell to call a national meet
| ing of the miners to take decisive &C
| ton. Indications are that four propo-
sitions will be considered by the con-
| vention.
The first will be to adopt wage de-
! mands and then issue a call for a
| joint wage conference, opening the
| door to all operators who may wish
to come in, sign scale and keep their
mines in operation. .-
The second will be to adopt scale
and issue call for joint wage con-
ferences by districts.
| The third will be to refuse to make
any scale except by competitive dis
tricts, which would mean that the
Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois operators and miners
would be held to be one unit, as
would those of Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas-the
Southwestern Competitive field.
| This Proposal for Peace.
The fourth proposition will be the
extreme peace measure, provision
| that the present contract be continued
in effect a month longer and the
mines be kept in operation during that
period.
It is thought President Mitchell will
advocate the adoption of one of the
first two policies, expecting by pursu-
ing that course to get some of the op-
orators to sign up and put their mines
in operation.
"There is a disposition" said John
Mitchell, ION the part of some of the
coal operators to stimulate coal mar
ket prices by strike, or by the threat
of bringing on such strike. We
have done all that we could do to pre-.
vent this and it looks now as though
there would be a full suspension OF
mining in all these great bituminous
fields on April 1. We have stated our
willingness to keep the mines in op
Grafton after April 1 for a limited
time, provided wage settlement is
under negotiation on April /, but the
operators, with some exceptions, not
ably the Indiana operators, have re-
fused our requests for a joint wage
conference and have persisted in post.
ponements and delays. The miners
convention is convened to adopt our
policy"

SAILS u. CERhssUMED NAME
Madame Anna Gould and Children En-
F.oute % America.

Paris, March 1t became known
here that Madame Anna Gould, who
sailed for New York on the steamer
Adriatic, booked her passage on that
vessel under the name of Miller. She
had originally taken passage fer her
self and her children on the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm, but changed her plans
at the last moment. Although she
had the written consent of her former
husband, Count Boni de Castellane, to
take the children out of France she
adopted the ruse Of changing steamers
and using an assumed name in case
the count should attempt at the last
moment to prevent the children's de-
parture. Count Bcni had been under
the impression that Madame Gould
and the children were on board the
Kron Frinz Wilhelm and telegraphed
his greetings to the children in care
of that steamer.

The First Reporter.

The modern reporter hanks back to
the reign Of Queen Anne and to the
unknown scribetwho attempted to tell
the public the secrets Of her parlia-
ment. He had hard time of it, for
parliament wished to keep it's secrets
to itself. In 1928 an order was passed
that it is an indignity to and a breach
of the privilege of this house for any
person to presume to give in written
or printed newspapers any account or
minute Of the debates or proceedings;
that upon discovery of the authors,
printers or publishers Of any such
newspapers this house will proceed
against the offenders with the utmost
severity" During the famous Wilkes
case in 1772 the reporters won the vic.
tory which they have since held with.

CATALOGUE MEN GIVEN MARBLE HEART

The Olivia Review has been COM
PEELED by the lack of home advertis-
ing patronage to accept mail order
advertising, and is one of the few
papers in the state to accept this
class of advertising. There is not a
paper in the state that has not re-
peatedly received offers from mail
order houses for a class of advertis-
ing that space considered would net
the publisher more than local adver-
Using. Mail order houses are
anxious to get into the country
papers and offer a higher price than
local advertisers and also agree to
furnish advertisements in the form
of electrotypes, thus saving the pub
Usher the expense of setting the
type for the advertisements.
In looking over our exchanges we
see many papers which would be
justified in accepting mail order ad,
vertising, and it would not be sur.
prising if the day would soon come
when the distinction between the
two kinds of advertising would be
lost sight of. Local advertisers, if
they do not take Advantage of the
opportunity given them to reach
their country customers through the
local paper, cannot complain if the
space is sold to the mail orde,
houses.-Morris Sun.
There is much in the above that
is worthy of consideration of the

Queenstown, March 1 The steam
Or Mauretania has established new
transatlantic record by beating her
bwn best previous eastward record by
two hours and thirty-siX minutes. Her
time on this trip was 5 days and 5
minutes. She travelled over the long
route, the total distance traVerSed be-
ing 1882 knots.
The average of knots an hour for
the whole trip was 24.42, as against
her own previous record of 1890. The
best eastward daily average of the
Lusitania is 1882. The best days run
was SIS knots, with an average Of
PATTI an hour. This has been equaled
previously, however, for on Jan. 20
the Mauretania covered the same dis
lance in a day while bound east.
The high average run an hour by
the German transatlantic liners is
23.5S. This was made by the Kaiser
Wilhelm II.

DEFEAT LABOR MEASURE,
Liberals Break With Socialists ir

Liberals Break With Socialists in
House of Commons.
London, March 14.-The Liberals
and the Socialists came to clash in
the house of commons and, undoubt-
eddy influenced to certain extent by
Lord Rosebery's speech in the house
Thursday against socialism, the Lib
erals threw overheard the unemployed
workmen's bill of the Labor party.
The majority against this bill was
149. The measure has become known
as the fright to work" bill, because a
vital clause makes it the duty of the
local authorities to provide work for
all unemployed persons and, failing
this provision of work, the authorities
shall provide maintenance for unem-
ployed men and their families. The
bill is frankly admitted to be socialis-
tic in character. "All we want is
money and we propose to get it from
those whose bursting money bags of
unearned increment which the govern
ment is too timid to attack" was the
phrase used by one of the labor lead
ers in the debate and it sums up very
we'll the general trend of the speeches
Of the supporters of the measure.
AS a result of a cabinet meeting the
government, under the leadership of
Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the
exchequer, but who is acting as pre-
mier during the illness of Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman decided to risk
a probable split with the Socialist ele-
ment and Mr.. Asquith and John Burns,
the labor leader in the house, both
asked the house to reject the bill.
Mr.. Burns declared that the passage
of this bill would be most destructive
to the social fabric. The government
already was doing all that could rea-
sonably be expected, he declared, to
improve the condition of labor. If it
had made a mistake it was that it had
gone too far and exalted "fustian and
corduroy above the frock coat and the
top hat"

We MUST DRINK PLENTY
OF GOOD PURE WATER
Natures Great Remedy and Valuable
Prescription Anyone can
Prepare.

The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well-known authority.
The numerous cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder dis
eases and rheumatism are plainly
due to the fact that the drinking
of water, natures greatest medicine,
has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure alls; but
get on the water wagon. If you
are really sick, why, of course,
take the proper medicine plain
common vegetable treatment, which
will not shatter the nerves or ruin
the stomach"
When requested for such a pre-
scription for the cure of rheuma-
tism and kidney trouble the ans
wer was: You must make the
kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood
the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must
be neutralized so it will no longer
be a source of irritation to the
bladder, and, most of all, you must
keep the acids from forming in
the stomach. This is the cause of
stomach trouble and poor diges-
ton. For these conditions I would
suggest the following prescription:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsapar-
lila, three ounces. Mix by shaking
well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
again at bedtime, but don't forget
the water. Drink plenty and
often.
This valuable information and
simple prescription should be
posted up in each household and
used at the first sign Of an attack
of rheumatism, backache or urinary
trouble, no matter how slight.

are to go to Manila and while in the
Philippines the annual fall target prac-
tice will be held. Thence the return
will be made to the United States by
way of the Suez, stopping only at
such ports as are necessary for coal

Secretary Metcalf said that the bat
tleships would remain in San Fran

which time they would fill their bun
kers with coal. According to the
present plan the entire fleet will go to
Puget sound and some of the ships
may be sent to Vancouver, all return
