new in the way of entertainment

The cattle exhibit at the Kan

The Circus.

The big crowd was in for the
circus. Not as large a crowd as
last year, but a jolly bunch of PEG
pie who came in for a good time.
and barring the disappointment
of the parade being late every
thing went off all right. The
weather in the morning started
out very warm, but soon a north
wind came that made things cool
off very much. The circus was
up to the usual standard set by
Rlnglings, and everyone had a
rat g good time.

The Tariff HumbuQ

"The case against the Payne-Ald-

1t perpetuates duties laid forty five
years ago as civil war taxes; that is,
1t compels the people Of the country
to conduct large number of their
industries on war tax basis. Many
of its schemes are amazing clrica-

conclusion that in most cases this
obScurity has been cunningly devised
that no one else should understand it
"The method by which the bill was
made is the worst possible. Duties
were traded in openly, like horses at
county fair. Although many of
these duties effect chiefly the daily
life of that great bulk of our popula-
ton living on incomes, where every
penny counts, they were treated as if
they had relation to nothing but poll
tics. And yet while acting with this
commercialiSm, Congress as a body
talked as if carrying out conscien-

Logic, consistency, sincerity, all were
sacrificed in the making of the Payne.

the hypocricieS which characterized
the operation was making labor pull

ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE ENDS
AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Practically Every Demand Of Men is
Granted-4o,ooo Workmen to
Resume Work.

Chicago. ~ Forty-four thousand iii
nois coal miners will resume work at
once after an idleness of more than
five months as result of an agree
ment reached between the officials OF
the mine workers and the Illinois Coal
Operators association.
Practically every demand OF the men
has been granted A contract exend-
inc up 10 April /. 1912. was signed.
The average increase TO the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton. or an aggregate OF $4,000 900
annually The installation OF safety
appliances and general betterments
which the operators agree to give the
men Will increase the cost Of putting
coal on the market nearly II cents
per ton.
OF the 1900 miners who quit work
april /, more than $4,000 already have
signed up and assume work. The bal
ance will begin active work so soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation. II is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be in
full operation. Several are in condi-
ton to start mining at once.
II is estimated that the strike has
caused a shortage of at least 10000
600 tons: a loss in wages amounting
10 $4,000 600. and a net loss 10 the
operators OF nearly slO.0O0.O00.
