COAL MINE IN PARADE
Novel Feature May be Secured for
Labor Day.

The coal mining camps Of Hooking
and Abba are planning to come to
Oskaloosa en- masse on Labor Day,
Monday, September Z A communica-
tion to Secretary Edwin Perry of the
U. M. w. of A., brings the informa-
tion that the camps will unite in the
effort to secure special train from
Hooking to Oskaloosa on the Iowa
Central. If this is possible, the camps
will both turn out en- masse.
Other camps are telling of efforts
to make arrangements to reach the
| city for the occasion. Distant camps,
such as far away Rathbun and Darbey-
vile, are also enthused over the pos.
sibilities of the day and desire in
some way to reach the city for the
celebration.
Almost every mail now brings let
tiers concerning the day and the ar
arrangements to be made for special
trains.
An effort will be made to have a
Especial train run from Centerville to
this city on the Iowa Central This
would include the Hooking and Abba
special. raf'
For the Parade.
The camp at Hooking owns minia-
ture coal mine that may be set in
motion, showing the methods of haul
| ing coal from the mining underground
to the hosting dump, screening and
loading on the surface. The mine is
set in motion by means of lot of in
genious devices and mechanism oper-
ated by hand and it makes a wonder
fully attractive showing. The mine,
although a miniature, Is no small
piece of work. Twelve men are re-
quired to operate the machinery of
the several parts. The whole piece of
work occupies a large float. Efforts
are being made to have this attract
tive piece of work exhibited in this
city on Labor Day. 1t will be made
a feature of the parade and will later
be in operation at some convenient
point that it may be seen by the pub,
| lie. The mine is said to be one of
the most perfect representations of a
mine in operation that has ever been
devised.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Judge Taft
announced that it would be some time
after the Christmas holidays before
he seriously undertook the task of Sc
lecting his official advisers; but not
a day goes by but that the volunteer
assistants place some new man in
Taft's official family. Any Republican
statesman who hasn't been mention
ed for place in the Taft Cabinet has
a right to feel sighted.
There is a considerable faction that
wants to place Representative Theo-
dore E. Burton of Ohio at the head
of the State Department; but as Mr..
Burton is running for Senator Fora
ker's seat and is being doomed for
Speaker Cannon's job, his selection
for the premiership doesn's give gen.
eral satisfaction. Besides, while it IS
admitted that Mr.. Burton is equipped
intellectually for the place, he lacks
in other respects. The Secretary of
State is the one member of he Cabi
are of any consequence to anybody
put themselves. The Secretary of
Safe has to entertain the diplomatic
corps, and momentous questions of
world policy may be determined by
the sort of dinner he gives the ambas-
sador from Timbuctoo or the minister
from Dahomey. Now, not only is Mr..
Burton a crusty bachelor with little
knowledge of and less liking for the
social stunts in which diplomats in
dulge, but he is a peptic-looking
individual and probably wouldn't rec
ognize a good dinner should he meet
one on the street. Mr.. Burton is a
book-worm, a devourer of weighty
things in the original Greek, Latin

OI the uldIQOHu-Ddck IerTdpln, WHICH
fiourishes on the eastern shore of Ma
ryland, but served at his table he
couldn't tell it from Goldfish balls And
as for canvasback duck, beyond the
takes no interest In the bird. Clearly
he would be a misfit in a place where
gastronomy and diplomacy are synon-
ymous terms.
Those who urge these weighty rea-
sons against the selection of Burton
to succeed Root find their ideal min
lister in George Won Lengerke Meyer,
former ambassador to Italy, former
ambassador to Russia, and at present
thing in the art of feeding diplomats
which Mr.. Meyer doesn't know. He
picked up lot of useful information
around Rome and ST. Petersburg. and,
besides, he has the natural gift Mr.
Meyer is effulgent in a drawing room
and when he sits at the head of the
mahogany, it's said, those gathered
round the festal board forget there
is any higher allegiance than those
to Bacchus and Epicufus.
Moreover, Mr.. Meyer has the where
with to feed the whole hungry tribe
of diplomats, while Mr.. Burton Is
man of moderate means. In mis- am
bassadorial capacity at Rome and st.
Petersburg, Mr.. Meyer was one of the
original social splurgers," about
which so much has been heard in crit
icism since the Tower-Hill incident
at Berlin. He likes diplomats, speaks
the language of the tribe, as it were,
and would be bowling social success
Nor is any attempt made here to dis
parage his other qualifications. He
has made good" wherever he has
been placed, and probably would han
die our foreign relations to the entire
satisfaction of the American people.
In an interview at Hot Springs,
when the matter of electing Mr.. Root
senator from New York was under
Mr.. Taft said he had hoped
Mr.. Root would retain the State port
folio, and expressed the opinion that
he would have a hard time filling the
place. That gave Mr.. Taft's voluntary
assistants their cue, and since then
they have been busy trying to make
it less difficult. Besides Mr.. Burton
and Mr.. Meyer a number of men have
been proposed, among them White
law Reid, now ambassador to Great
Britain and good many times mill
ionaire. In London Mr.. Reid occupies
Dorchester House, which is so splen-
did palace that when King Edward
visits there it is said he always feels
like going around to the back door.
AS Secretary of State Mr.. Reid would
wine and dine the diplomats and jolly
them to a kings taste.
Joseph H. Choate also, who preced-
ed Mr.. Reid at the Court of st. James,
has been put forward, though an ear
lier story had him slated for the first
vacancy on the supreme bench. One
whimsical journalist, with bump of
reverence not properly developed, de-
clares that John Barrett, director of
the Bureau of American Republics, is
just the man for the place.

For many years after the discovery
Of Mammoth cave the entire work OF
exploration was practically In the
hands OF negro slaves. the property OF
the man who owned the cave. Some
times they would come to an obstacle
that barred the passage, such as a
great limestone rock or q yawning
crevasse across the way. Such obsta-
cles would often stop exploration In
that direction for years, though beyond
the obstruction there were likely to be
scores Of beautiful chambers and many
miles Of passageways. Thus 1t happen
ed that for years nothing was known
of that large part of the cave lying be-
yond the abyss named the Bottomless
pit This obstruction was known for
over twenty years before 1t was Cross
ed. Then one day In 1887 the negro
cave explorer Stephen and some of his
fellows dragged to the place the trunk
of small tree. and on this rather dan
gerous bridge Stephen crawled across
the abyss. Then began the explora-
tions that revealed one Of the most
wonderful and extensive parts OF
Mammoth cave. The abyss was found
later to be $50 feet deep.

over and break off n piece Of bread
from French loaf on the table. This
he did good many times. The story
reminded him of another, and SO he
talked and ate bread until finally, being
very hungry. his companion broke in
with:
"Well. what shall order for you. Mr.
Muir?"
"Order?" he repeated in his abstrac.
ton.

He looked over at the last little re-
