COAL WORKERS. wALK.ouT FIN.
ALLY SETTLED AT CHICAGO
CONFERENCE.
TWO YEARS PEACE SURE
Union Gets Lone Share Of Demands
Peoria Scale Adopted - Work
to Be Resumed Saturday In
Mines that are Ready.

Chicago, nl.-Industrial peace for
at least two years has been re-
stored in the Illinois coal mines.
After five months OF stubborn con-
flict, unmarked by any acts OF ex'
IRENE violence, the operators and min.
ers have agreed to bury their differ
ences and to resume operation of the
mines. In the settlement, the miners
got the lions share of the demands,
only some minor details having been
changed. The full scale OF wages
and prices set by the Peoria conven'
ton will be paid by the operators.
The settlement was reached at u
conference between q committee OF
operators and the executive board OF
the Illinois miners. The operators
protested that the agreement was un-
Just and Harry N. Taylor withdrew
from the committee rather than agree
to it.
The wage increase, together with
the safety appliances which the op'
orators must install in compliance
with the recently enacted law, will
duu at ltdSl Twelve cents q TON 10 Iue
cost of coal production in the state.
Inequalities of mining rates, COM
pared with those of other states, OF
which the Illinois operators complain
ed at the beginning of the strike,
have been increased, throwing the
mine owners still further out of line
in competition with the operators Of
Indiana and Ohio. The payment OF
the wages Of shot-firers against which
the operators have contended since
the law went into effect five years
ago, forms the heaviest burden they
will have to pay as the price of their
defeat
The Illinois operators from the be.
ginnig offered to pay the national de-
mands and settle on the same terms
as did the operators In western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, but
the offer was rejected by the miners
When the negotiations were broken
off, President ]. II. Walker of the
Illinois miners ordered out the engi
neers and pump men who we're left
at work to protect the property.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS

The following crop report was is
sued from the Office of I. c. VIII
son, secretary of the Missouri State
Board Of Agriculture: The month Of
August, an unfsvorable one for the
farmers in many less favored states,
brought to those who cultivate Missou-
ri soil no general drouth, hoods, or
other widespread disaster. The
years harvest, garnered or in pros
pect, while not one of unprecedented
abundance, gives assurance of plen-
ty and indicates that the earlier sea
sons promise is to attain full reali-
cation. The rainfall, while generally
sufficient and in but few cases, Excess
sive, has often been poorly distributed,
conditions differing widely in districts
only few miles apart. In the north
east section of the state, for instance,
some correspondents report an abund-
ance of rain, while others state that
the ground is getting very dry. The
precipitation was very light during Au-
gust over almost the entire North
west section of the state. Pastures

on feed. Reports from the Central
section are somewhat conflicting, some
counties having had plenty of rain,
while others are suffering from lack
of moisture. Southwest Missouri, with
the exception of two or three coun-
ties on the Western border, reports a
hopeful and satisfactory outlook, con-
ditions having been favorable during
August. From the southeast section
comes encouraging news of satisfac-
tory conditions for almost all growing
crops, except over restricted areas.
The temperature record for the month
varied according to reports received
from correspondents, from 48 to 102
degrees.

Untouched Resources.

The amazing fact in connection
with the statistics which tell of our
achievements" said Gov Hadley at
Moberly, lis that this result has been
accomplished by the cultivation of
only about one-half of the soil, and by
only a preliminary development of our
mineral and industrial wealth. The
total area of the state of Missouri is
Al million acres, of which only 1914
million acres are improved and in cul.
tivation. Thus, nearly one-half of the
soil of Missouri has never been touched
by a plowshare. Seventeen million
acres of forests await the stroke of the
woodman's ak; 31A million acres of
swamped and flooded lands within the
boundaries of the state are totally or
partially impaired for the purpose of
cultivation by reason of numerous
cverlows. Fifty per cent of that part
of our soil that is now being cultivated
is being cultivated in such a way as
to decrease, rather than increase its
productivity. Our average yield of
wheat is only about fourteen bushels
to the acre, while in Belgium, France
and England the yield is nearly thirty.
And yet the soil upon which the wheat
is grown in this state is equal to the
soil of any of these foreign countries
The same disparity exists in the pro.
duction of corn and other crops in
some lands in this state, as compared
with Others"

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
Of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part Of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. / noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning IL. He
replied that 1t was Postum. was 60
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, / bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely,
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to Its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.

self and tho other members of the fam
lily, but in more marked degree in
the case Of my mother, as she was a
victim OF long standing"

FATALITIES ON WARSHIP
Test of OIL as Fuel on North Dakota,
Near Norfolk, Virginia,
Results Fatally.

Washington, D. C.-Three coal
passers are dead and seven machin-
lists and firemen injured as the result
Of oil catching fire on the battleship
North Dakota. This report was re
eeiyed at the navy department from
Admiral Schroeder, COMMANDMENTS
chief OF the Atlantic fleet.
A special telegram to the Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch from Old Point Com
fort, said that seven men were killed
and 100 injured, while other reports
gave varying figures, and also differed
as to the accident.
The North Dakota was launched at
Quincy, Mass. Nov. 10. 1908, and was
at the time the most powerful battle
ship afloat. She was bigger, faster,
and more formidable than any of the
British Drednaughts. along whose
lines she was built.

BIG CAR FERRY is LOST
Fate of Pere Marquette Boat coun-
terpart Of Disaster in
Huao's Book.

Ludington, Mich.-Thirty lives were
lost when the Pere Marquette car
ferry No. is, bound from Ludington
to Milwaukee, went to the bottom OF
Lake Michigan half way across the
lake.
The dead include Captain Peter Kill
ty of Ludingto; S. F. Sezepanek of
Worcester, Mass, purser and wireless
operator, whose signals of distress
brought assistance to the sinking YES
sci, and two members of the crew OF
car ferry No. II, who lost their lives
in an effort to rescue the crew of No.
IS.
This was her first trip on her regu-
lar run. The boat was in service all
summer, plying with excursionists be-
tween Chicago and Waukegan, Ill. It's
last excursion trip Of the season was
made last Monday, when it carried
1900 Labor Day pleasure seekers to
Waukegan and return.
Freight cars on No. Is got loose in
the gale and practically battered the
ship to pieces.
Two OF three hours after the first
wireless distress signal was picked up
here, a message was received from No.
II, which evidently also heard the

of No. IS, stating that all aboard were
saved.

shrewd scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago, in consequence Of
q commercial panic, there was severe
run on a bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, In
a fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in a frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. why, they're quite hot!". said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pam
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
