Hadley Charges Collapse Under Own
Testimony.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 6. Gov
ernor Hadley spent two hours in
the witness chair this morning be-
fore the Grand Jury. He was thor
oughly "Rogerized" by Prosecuting
Attorney Virgil Conkling.
The Prosecutor is said to have
been as persistent in his demands
for certain information as Mr.. Had
ley was when he broke down the
"adVice-of-counSel" barrier of the
late oil magnate several years ago.
AS a result Of the Governors ap-
pearance before the Grand Jury, it
was stated today that the charges
made by him against twenty-nine
Democratic election judges and
clerks, ranging from murder to not
having their names in the Directory,
have completely collapsed.
Not a scintilla of evidence has
been offered the Grand Jury to sus-
tain the statements made in the
Governors letter to the Election
Commissioners, according to at at
tache of the Prosecuting Attorneys
Office.
The Governors complaint that II
per cent of the registered vote in
Kansas City is fraudulent has yet
to be verified by the Grand Jury.
The grand jurors are said to have
been particularly eager for the Gov.
ernor to enlighten them regarding
an alleged confession made by Tony
Oruye, a convict, now in State priS'
on, who is said to have admitted

Train Wreckers Foiled.
Third Ah,mpi Made to Derail Express Near
Bloomsbury.

For the third time in as many
weeks, an attempt was made last
Monday night to wreck passen-
ger train on the Sunbury division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Harry w. and A. w. Shuman, of
Bloomsbury, were walking along
the tracks near Espy, when they
found large bolt fastened to the
ties and lying across the rails. AS
freight had passel less than an
hour before, it is evident the bolt
was placed on the track to wreck
the express train.
About a week ago fish plates
were found spiked to the track near
Mifflinville, and short time before
a railroad tie was found across the
track near Nanticoke.

Up to the Governor.

Unless Governor Stuart ignores
the record of the coerced will of a
bare majority of the members of
the legislature and interferes in
behalf of decency, the most shame
less outrage of machine domination
will be rp.trated upon the people
of Pennsylvania. We refer to the
adoption of the resolution direct
ing the board of public grounds
and buildings to place the statue
of Quay in the rotunda of the capi-
lol, says the Harr sburg Indepen-
dent. 1t is not known what the
governor will do-whether he will
approve the resolution or veto it;
whether he will conclude that the
burden of responsibility rests upon
the legislature and so approve it or
whether he will regard it as his
duty to veto the resolution because
it is unpopular.
The foxy gentleman who intro
duced the measure put it i'll the
shape of a resolution which could
be passed by a majority of a quor-
Inn instead of a majority of all the
members elected. That exposes the
dishonesty that lies at the bottom
of this whole affair. 1t is true that
the record of the house shows that
Io4 members voted for the resolu-
tion-or a majority of the whole
house but in other circumstances
the recorded vote might have been
different. The machine whips dared
not put the measure i'll the shape
of bill and introduce it before the
closing hours of the session and
give the people an opportunity 10
record their protests. Instead it
was sneaked into and cudgeled
through the legislature.
"a sas The people are as much opposed
TO this business now as they were
three years ago and two years ago,
when the legislature dared not
take any action in the premises,
and if Governor Stuart be guided
solely by their voice ne will veto
tlat resolution as one of his great
est and most commendable acts in
defence of the people and in conser-
vation of his own clean and able
administration of the government
that long had needed a man of his
character in the executive Office.

Surface Caves at Pittston.

The subsidence of the surface
over the workings of the Clear
Spring colliery at West Pittston,
which has been in progress for the
past two weeks became serious last
Monday. Even the miners became
alarmed and refused to enter the
mine.
Work was suspended at the Vul-
can Iron Works, one of the towns
leading industries, the buildings
having been disturbed during the
night. Dozens of cracks appeared
in the walls of the new $50, 900 ad-
dition recently built at the Vulcan
works.
1t is the opinion of mine experts
that all the affected area, more than
100 acres, has dropped from ten to
fifteen inches. The interior cav
ing is in the Red Ash or bottom
vein, and the Clear Spring officials
say that from 40 to as per cent of
the coal has been left in the pillars
of this vein for support, although
the coal lease authorizes the COM
pany to mine two-thirds of the
coal. This bottom vein, since
abandoned, has been filled with
water, and in the opinion of min
ing authorities the water has weak
ened the pillars.

Doctors Dubious of tuberculosis.
Physicians Will. However, Give New Dois
Treatment Fair Consideration.

What in London is supposed tc
be new and simple cure for tuber-
culosis, said to have been discov-
cred by William Doig after ten
years OF experiment and study, is
now being tested by some of the
most eminent physicians of
England, and is receiving the con-
sideration of the medical profession
of this and other countries.
In theory, an artificial ulcer is
formed upon the surface of the
body nearest the organ or men,
brane affected. A radius of inAam-
nation is induced from the diseased
part to the surface of the skin.
Many cases of consumption, tub
erculosis Of the lungs and tuber-
culosis of the joints are said to have
been cured permanently in from
four to six months by the Doig
method of treatment. Experiments
covering ten years of practice, it is
said, have given the discoverer
sufficient scientific data to assure
him that it will undergo the most
rigid tests of medical science, and
arrangements are now being made
that the new cure may be officially
tested and given to the world for
general use.
In speaking of the Doig treat
ment, DR.. James M. Anders, vice
president of the Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, said:
AS the theory is stated by he
press dispatches it is absurd. The
theory does not fit the facts for
tuberculosis. Before it is denounced,
however, l should favor an inves-
tieation by commission.
DR.. S. Soils Cohen placed little
importance in the new discovery.
He said:
1.-The articles which have so far
appeared in the press could not
have been written by any one con-
versant with the pathology of tub
erculosis. Science is systematized
knowledge, and there can be no
scientific opinion about a thing
which is kept secret. tuberculosis
is not susceptible to miraculous
cures. The use of Setons, All old
method upon which the Doig cure
apparently is based, is useful in
exceptional cases, but as routine
treatment it could only be harmful.
This is only general statement,
however, and does not refer es-
pecially to the Doig treatment.
But the fact that William T. Stead
stands sponsor for this cure does
not give it great deal of weight
those familiar with his propen-
ity for indorsing cancer takers and
patent nostrums.

HOW MINES MAKE TOWNS.
Butte Built in More Ways Than One
on a Square Mile Of Copper.

The history of American mining
towns presents many examples of the
determining effect of mineral depos-
Its. Butte, Mont, Is city of 62,-
600 inhabitants supported by copper
underlying about one square mile of
land surface. The metal forms the
sole ra!son d'etre of this considera-
Bile settlement, for in other respects
the region is unattractive and un-
productive: without the mines the
locality would support with difficulty
population of 100 souls.
The mineral deposits of Nevada
occur beneath strips of land a few
hundred feet in width and in the
midst of a hopeless desert, but they
Lave formed plausible pretext, says
Earpers Magazine, for adding
State to the Union and two Senators
to Congress. The decline of the
looes has now reduced Virginia City
to population of $500, as against
II 900 In 1880, when it was one of
the busiest cities in America in the
midst of superlatively booming"
State. In 1900 Nevada was cred
tied with population of 42,335-
a figure somewhat under that for
1870; thus this state, with an area
twice that of New England, has less
population than Waterbury, Conn.
Through the existence of mineral
products in close proximity, Pitts
burg has become the emporium for
coal, petroleum and iron. It's case
differs, however, from the above, for
its development was far less arti-
fetal and its destiny could never be
that of the regions alread. mention
ed.
Three navigable rivers converge at
this point; valleys sunk N a plateau
provide natural routes for approach
ing railways. Natural AID unnat-
ural access, it may be added, are con-
trasted at Pittsburg by Lne fact that
one railroad has recently been forced
to expend $35,0O0,000 to effect an
entrance to the city by overcoming a
minor geographic obstacle.
