TO PLACES
lncipient Trouble At Buxton Camp
Is Quieted.

The fact that there is dissatisfac-
tion among some of the miners at
Buxton came to light Saturday night
when meeting was called, for the
purpose, it is alleged, of drafting res
olutions against the management, and
asking the company for change.
How much the meeting might have
amounted to is unknown, as through
the efforts of William Baxter of the
United Mine Workers, a conference
was held, several discharged men
were restored to their places, and
the incident was closed
One cause for the trouble that cul-
minated Saturday. 1t is said, is that
some of the miners have complained
of the arrangement for securing the
services of physicians, and /. change
from the present system was asked
Buxton camp has almost five thous-
and people and three physicians. Dr.
j. s. Henderson, DIR. James Muir and
DR.. Edward Carter have been caring
for the sick and injured The physi.
clans are paid by the company with
funds collected from the monthly
wages of the miners Thus miner
or his family gets medical attention
guaranteed for the sum of about a
dollar per month per male miner.
The claim has been set up that some
have been neglected because at times
there has been so much need for at.
tentien that the force of physicians
could not wait upon all.
Twenty-six men have recently been
discharged by the company. The
miners for this reason charged that
Mr.. Buxton was seeking in this way
to weed out the trouble from his min.

these men and the promise that all

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Though there are some things
about the National Guard that appear
in a ridiculous light at times, yet the
fact remains that the citizen soldier
is one of the best means of protec-
ton that a community can have.
While the company may never be
called out, its existence is wonder
full influence for law and order and
for the prevention of mob violence.
The National Guard Association of
the United States has been holding
its annual meeting at Boston, and
had under consideration several sub
jects OF Importance to the people of
the United States. This organiza-
ton has been trying for ten years TO
bring the National Guard up to the
level of the regular force, and pro
gress has been made in some of the
states, though far from all that is de-
sjrable. In case of war the National
Guard would be the first body OF sol
diery called out AT present it con
sists of 107,57S trained officers and
men. The G5,3S5 regulars added give
a total force for immediate service OF
172,963 disciplined troops. What
could be done in the way OF volun-
teers reaches into millions, but this

AMERICAN BRIDES.

The action of the Countess of Var
mouth in seeking to annul her mar
liage with the earl has attracted at
tention again to the number of inter
national marriages which have prov
I'd disastrous. The most notorious
example is, of course, that OF Nine.
Anna Gould, who recently confessed
in the courts that she found married
life with the Count de Castellane un-
sndurable. Another recent case in
point, where the elements of friction
were less obvious, was that OF Con
suelo Vanderbilt, who is living apart
from the Duke of Marlborough.
These are but few instances, how
ever, of the cases in which the mari
tai relation has developed a rift. A
French journal recently in comment
ing upon the marriages OF wealthy
American girls to foreign noblemen
estimated that fully $900,000,O00 had
been taken to Europe in this way in
the last quarter OF century. Cos
mopolitan Americans, who are in
touch with conditions abroad, in
newspaper interviews declared this
to be moderate estimate, and point
ed out that the dowries have in al,
most every case represented but a
small amount of the actual transfer
OF national wealth.

A NEW NAH; SERVICE
Better Connections With Buxton
Have Been Made.

Oskaloosa has been granted addi-
tional mail service on the Iowa Cen

Buxton. The new service goes into
effect tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. %,

has been badly embarrassed for mail

sent by way of Cedar Rapids and
Belle Plaine to make the Buxton
connection.
Mail will now be carried on the

be reached by the service. The new
service will be appreciated by Oska-

I'm some OF these things. The world
is compelled to Come to us for them.
ut can not get them elsewhere. But
with the products of our factories the
situation is different. In selling our
iron, steel. copper and other manufac-
lures in the outside world we come
into competition with the foreign
manufactures, and in the cases where
we beat them we do so because Of
manifest superiority in workmanship
or price.
The increase in our sales OF manu-.
factures abroad in recent years has
been one of the marvels OF our in
dustrial expansion. While our ex-
ports of manufactures were less than
81 100000 day in 1897 they were
more than $2000,00O day in 1907.
This growth is several times as great
as that which took place in our pop
Iulation in those ten years There
are several reasons for this great in
crease in manufactures exports. The
riches in volume and variety of our
raw materials, tho ingenuity OF our
inventors and the capability and ver-
satility of our people are among the
causes. The tariff, however. started
Us on the road toward industrial su-
premacy. Through the protection
which it has given the home pro-
ducer it has enabled him to build up
an Industrial scheme which far sur
passes that of any other TWO coun-
tries in extent and variety. And seri-
ously. therefore, is this not good
time to let well enough alone?

ATTENDANCE GROWING
Central M. Z. Revival Attracting
More People Nightly.

The special revival services at the
Central NJ. E. church are growing in
interest and attendance. A consider
ably larger audience was present on
Tuesday evening than on Monday
evening. The sermon was ON the
subject of Personal Responsibility,
and was full of interest and profit to
all. Rev. Allen selected his text
from Matthew 13:2425, a part OF the
parable OF the wheat, and tares One
OF the beauties OF the teachings OF
Jesus Christ was His simplicity and
naturalness; and through His stories
OF nature He taught the people some
of His greatest truths.
Rev. Allen drew from this simple
subject some lessons OF great help
to Christian workers and developed
the theme along somewhat new and
original lines. The discourse was
given the closest attention by all
present and seemed to make deep
impression. Quite q number Of
strangers and outsiders are noticed
in the audience and the meetings. al
