SOUTHERN INDIANA To SUPPLY
COAL FOR GARY THE MILLS
United States Steel Company and Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Railroad Said to Be Negotiating
Jointly for the Walsh Properties.

The supply Of coal, which is to sup
ply the Gary mills of the United States
Steel company and the coke ovens,
which are projected for this region, is
now being arranged for and it is I'M
derstood that the United States Steel
company together with the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois Railroad company is
negotiating Jointly for the purchase
of the Walsh coal properties in south
ern Indiana.
The negotiations are with the Deer
ing Coal company, one Of the largest
in the west
Involves S13,OOO,OOO.
The transaction, which involves Sc
curities and partly agreed values ag-
gregating nearly $4,000. 1000. has been
under way for some time and is said
to give promise of successful culmina-
ton
Details are not available at this
time. but it is understood that the
clearing house committee has set a
price of s2,sOO,oo0 on the Walsh coal
lands, which property is held by the
association among securities in lieu
of funds advanced at the time the
DdnkS Oh SO4iA r. W eAASAA
ed interests are still negotiating on
that basis and 1t is said that II deal
is consummated it Will be near the
figure mentioned.
The option on the Deering Coal COM
pany's properties, which is said to have
been given the joint purchasing inter
ests some time ago. has been accepted,
but the terms have not been made pub
lie.
Principals in the transaction are
keeping their movements under close
cover. but enough has been learned to
warrant the statement that the deal
| ings with the local banks now are the
only matters standing in the way Of
/ carrying out the purchase. However
should the negotiations for the Walsh
| properties fall through, it is regarded
likely that the Dering company Will be
taken by the purchasers.
Properties in Same Territories.
The properties Of the two coal in
terests are in much the same terri
tories, and for this reason they could
be operated at a great advantage to-
! gether.
The Deering company now has fifty
year contract to furnish coal TO the
plants Of the United States Steel Cor
poration in Illinois. Indiana and Wis

! consin The opening of the immense
steel plant at Gary, Ind. therefore
makes it necessary that the company
should have even a greater supply of
coal available, hence the endeavor to
purchase the Walsh properties. The
Deering company also now furnishes a
very large part of the Chicago s. East
ern Illinois Railroad company4s coal
supply.
The Deering Coal company, with its
head Offices in Chicago, was organ
lied in January, 1905. It has an author
lied and issued capital of $5,00o;o00
and 5000, 600 first mortgage per cent
bonds, due In 1866, for which the Amer
lean Trust and Savings bank Chi
cago acts as trustee.

Scranton, Pa, March 8, Both the
miners and their employers, the an
thracfte coal roads of this field, are
working quietly but with apparent
earnestness toward the crisis in their
relations. which is sure to come with
the expiration of the working agree
ment April l next. The outlook for
a strike is contingent upon the numer-
ical condition and strength of the min
ers' union at the expiration of the
working contract
Already both sides are showing some
uneasiness. The companies are work
ing their colleries fun time and to the
extent of operating capacity and stor-
ing the output in available spots that
there shall be no shortage for the mar
ket in the event of the probable break
occurring in their relations with the
miners. Every mine in this valley is
working at top capacity.
The miners are no less active in pre-
pairing for their interests. Missionaries
have been going up and down the val
ley now for two weeks re-enlisting
mine workers into the ranks of the I'M
ion that the organizatio will be in
shape to back up their demands with
show of solid front The men are
coming back into the union rapidly
and enrollments are large at every
meeting held by the various locals
throughout the valley. In the midst of
the activity in this direction National
President T. l. Lewis is expected here
daily TO direct the work and lend as
sistance in the work of rehabilitating
the miners organization.

DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply
Cannot Learn

A small coterie of French doctors il
at present studying school children
and has at the moment under its es
pecial observation that infantile phe
nomenon known as the Ounce. The
existence of the Ounce is frequently tC
be attributed they declare, to faulty
hygienic environment, unsuitable fooC
or tactless treatment. incidentally
they assert that disposition for
mathematical studies is no criterion
of capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to deal
with numbers is often observable in
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any
thing but a Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, OF
incipient deafness, and his teachers
fail to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and self-consciousnsss, often charac
teristic in children, are the so-calleo
dullard's inability to learn. All chill
dren do not progress with the same
alertness. The phenomenon of grown
ups who are ten years behind Their
age, in regard to mentality, has been
noted by all physicians. Corvisart,
Napoleon's doctor. declaring that
these minds often prove the finest
when they reach their maturity, and
that the fact of their backwardness is
invariably a sign that . ripe old age
will be reached.
The personal character of children,
say these French doctors, requires to
be trained in respect to pluck, initia.
tive and interest, before the purely
mental attributes can be expected to
come into play. Children who evince
dislike to play should be taught that
success in play and kindred matters
is the surest guaranty of success in
the great game of life later on. Par,
ticular care must be taken in the
selection of schools and school-sur'
roundings for children who are IN
usually fat or overgrown, or who show
a tendency to be what is known as
'old-fashioned." When children are
likely to become the butts of their
companions, parents cannot be too
careful in deciding a. to how they
shall be trained. Observation and the
advice of physical attributes. are the
safest guides If the rearing Of whole

East Tennessee since the reported truce
between the Brownlow and Evans fac
tons claimed to have been effected in
Washington few days since by Presi-
dent Taft with the two warning fac
tons. AT this powwow many of the
leaders of the two factions in this state
were present and participated in the
conference. 1t is recalled that the pres
ident told both factions that the regu-
lar organization, which the Evans-San-
ders-Sharp element control, could make
the appointments in eight of the con-
gresslOnal districts, Brownlow and
Austin in the First and Second districts,
respectively, leaving the president to
make such appointments as United
States marshalS and district attorneys.
This plan was to be carried out in case
Sam r. Sells withdrew from the race
against Brownlow, and Nathan w.
Hale, of Knoxville, would not oppose
r. w. Austin from the Second district.
When this part of the agreement was
conveyed to Senator Sells, it is said
here, he grew indignant, and left Wash
ington, declaring no power, however
high or mighty, other than the sover-
eighty of the First district, could with
draw him, and he is still candidate.
Maj. Paul Il. Divine, formerly treas
urer Of the Soldiers Home at Johnson
City and a Brownlow manuntil Brown
lows son-in-law, King, was named as
his successor, supported Senator Sells
declaration, so the gossips say, with an
epistle to the effect if the senator with
drew that he, Divine, would announce
his candidacy against Brownlow with
in twenty-four hours. National Com
mitteeman Hale is reported to have
said, too, that he would be candidate
against Austin. So there is still polit.
ical war, and rumors Of war, in the
mountain section of the state,
Since the reported breach of the
agreement between the two factions on
the part of Sells and Hale, Brownlow
and Austin, assuming that there can
be no peace where none is wanted, have
Endorsed Jas. b. Cox, of johnson City,
general counsel for the Bristol & Kings
port railway, for district attorney for
East Tennessee to succeed JAS r. Pen
land, of Sevierville, and have Endorsed
Capt. Jas. G.. CrumblisS, of Kingston,
clerk and master of Roane county, to
succeed w. A. Dunlap, of Marryville,
United States marshall for the eastern
district of Tennessee. Penland and
Dunlap are both serving their first
terms, and are Endorsed by the Sanders

OPPOSITION TO
JUDGE BULLOCK

The Jackson Daily Sun publishes n
card from Judge Sweeny, who is can
didate against Chancellor Bullock, of
prohibition legislature fame, in which,
among other things, he says: 81 fur
Their promise the people that | will not,
during my term abandon the duties o.
my Office, and go to Nashville and con-
troll, or attempt to control, the legis-
lature of the state. Continuing fur.
ther, he SAYS: "Chancellor Bullock
saws that he Is the nominee of the dem
ocratic party for chancellor. 1t APP
pears from Chancellor Bullock's con
duet that he does not regard anyone a
democrat except those who are oppos-
ed 10 local self government, and who
do not agree with him that the election
laws passed at the late session Of the
legislature should be maintained"
Perhaps, when election day in the
Eighth chancery division rolls around,
the voters of the twelve counties COM
prising that division will take it into
their heads TO define "what is dem
ocrat?". They have most unique OPP
portunity and if they are going to
make party loyalty test it will be
immensely interesting TO watch the
outcome. Mr.. Bullock is the gentle.
man who organized the fusion in the
last legislature through which the de
ision of the m >cratis party at the
polls was reversed, and a minority
proposition, with the aid Of republican
votes, was forced upon the people. Mr.,
Bullock and his friends have attempt
