with kidnapping his daughter.
The Marshal located the young
couple at the home of VIM. Ying-
ling, of this place, Friday, and
they informed him that they had
been married at Ste. Genevieve
Thursday. The young people had
been sweethearts for a long time,
but owing to the brides immature
age, 16 years. there was serious
parental objection to their mar
riage. Finally they decided to
elope, and on Thursday French
went to the Belleview school which
his bride to-be was attending, and
induced her to accompany him to
Ste, Genevieve, where they pro-
cured a license and were married.
When located by Marshal Jordan
the bride tearfully implored him
not to take her away from Louis,
and informed him that if she were
compelled to return to her home,
she would run away at the first
opportunity. The Marshal took
the bride and groom to his home,
where he kept them for several
hours. The BRIDES father failed
to show up with the warrant and
finally the Marshal gave them
their liberty and allowed them to
go on their way NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The troubles of the Pennington
Telephone Company have brought
about an open rupture that seems
destined for an airing in the courts.
1t has been currently reported for
a long time that considerable fric-
ton existed among the directors.
The breach was widened last FRI
day night when at a meeting of the
directors a movement was put
through to lease the entire system
to San independent company Of
st. LOUIS for a term Of ten years.
The meeting is said to have been a
stormy one. Immediately after
the meeting, the minority fraction
of the board got busy. Though it
was then after midnight an auto
mobile was put into service and
Judge Kinzer was brought over
from Doe Run. A special meeting
of the county court was held and
an injunction was issued restrain
ing the majority of the directorate
from leasing the system out. In
the meantime, and before the
notice of injunction could be
served on the president of the
company, that officer had started
to Sedalia to attend the State Fair.
Sheriff London was called from
his sweet dreams at three A. M,
the automobile again put into
commission, headed for Flat River,
and the papers served on the Pres
ident Just before he boarded the
M. r. & B. T. early train. The
aboyeis current rumor, which we
have taken some trouble to verify,
with the result that the statements
seem virtually correct.-Lead Belt

there was to be fire or any thing else
occur to stop the fan or the practical
use of the fan. The piped air could be
furnished to save the lives of the miners.
If that mine in Illinois, where SO many
miners lost their lives If that mine
had of had the pipe line in it the men
that were cut off from air by the use
of the fan, could all have been saved
by the use of the piped air. This is
to my opinion the plan of reducing the
number of explosions.
If there was an explosion or fire to
occur the piped air would reach the ex-
reme parts of the mine. If any one was
living they could signal on the pipe to
any one out side, or the pipe line could
be so arranged by the use of a mouth
piece attached that they could communi-
cate to the outside There is great ad-
vantage of such a system. I have Just
mentioned this idea hoping some one who
has the power or authority will give this
system consideration. Some day this plan
will be used successfully.

SYSTEMS
Of Ventilation Discussed by Cor
respondent to Prevent Mine
Explosions.
Editor Labor Argus,

Editor Labor Argus,
Charleston, W. Va.
Dear Editor Please allow me space
in your paper to express my opinion AS
the loss of life is so numerous in machine
mines more especially the mines where
electric machinery is used. The method
of production has greatly increased
comparatively to the old method of pick
mining. The explosions seem to be such
frequent occurrence of late years. The
cause must be credited to the electric
machinery or the method of using the
machinery in the mines. Now l have
spent most of thirty years in the mines
and had not the least fear of explosions
until here of late years. Since machinery
has succeeded pick mining, the accidents
seem so frequent it is my opinion that
tine EXPLOSIONS are caused by lack of
proper method of ventilation. ! have
an idea which il put in practice cxplo-
sion could hardly occurr, which 1 wish
to express through the Argus. The idea
is two thorough systems of ventilation
through machine or gaseous mines The
system of tanning air and then pumping
air through pipes laid systematically so
as to furnish fresh air in the working
places so as to drive the foul air to the
break throughs so the force of the fan
would carry all foul air as fast as it is
created. There are several great ad.
rantagcs of the double ventilation sys-
ten. 1t would furnish fresh air at the
face of the coal or at the head of entries
and if the fan would fail the air pump
would keep fresh air in the mines if
