A Just Wage Scale.

The miners wage scale should be
made on a just and equitable basis. The
interests of both employers and en-
ployee should be properly considered.
1t is just as much to the advantage Of
the miner that the cost Of producing
coal in this region be such as will per-
NIT successful competition with other
regions as it is to the operator.
What would it profit the miner II he
were granted a greater advance than
the operator could afford tu pay ? If
such advance made 1t impossible for the
operator to run his mine and sell his
coal, he could provide work for nobody
II the increase is proportionately the
same in all competitive districts, all
have an equal chance. If not, then the
operator who pays the least wages and
mines his coal the cheapest, gets the
contracts, and to him the miner mus t
go for work in the end.
1t Is best for ali that the balance be
held true between capital and labor,
remembering that the injury of one is
not only the concern of all, but that the
success of the employer means the pros
perity of the employee. e.-Punxsutawney

Longwell Not a Candidate.

Hon Robert H. Longwell, Of Brock.
wayville, who represented Jefferson
county two terms in the Legislature,
will not be candidate this spring.
The Brockwaville Record says:
"Mr. Longwell advises the Record
that he has positively decided to with
draw from the race for Assembly and
turn his attention to business interests.
Bob is recognized as the greatest vote
getter 10 Jefferson county and 1t is a
we'll known fact that were he to be a
candidate he could win hands down.
Longwell made good representive and
his hosts OF friends regret that he will
not be in the race for reelection. Not
withstanding the fact that Bob is out
of the Assembly fight the Record looks
for him to get In in the near future,
and he does not deny the assertion, for
bigger political game before he is many
years older. For the present he will
devote his attention to the insurance
business"

Thief Used Matches Carelessly.

F. M. Browns fine residence on Grant
street narrowly escaped the fire fiend
last Thursday evening while Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown were enjoying IA Gentle
man from Mississippi" at the Adelphi.
Hon. s. B. Elliott was In the house
alone and late in the evening he heard
two females enter the rear part OF
house and go up the back stairs to the
maids room, but supposed 1t was the
maid and a lady friend and paid no at
tention to them. He did not know that
the maid had gone home to spend the
night. In the morning when she re-
turned and went to her room she dis
covered that the mating on the floor
had been on fire anG that a curtain on
wall, used to cover her clothing, was
burned, and number OF burned
matches were lying on the floor. She
claims to have had $4,000 in cash in her
trunk, which was stolen. A handful of
matches were left on the stand In her
room. They were red tipped matches
and the matches used in the Brown
home we're white tipped matches, so
the female intruders carried the
matches with them. 1t was some per-
son very familiar with the Brown resi-
dence and knew just how to get in the
back way and how to get TO the third
floor, where the girls room was.
The FIRE could have had good start
on the third floor before 1t would have
been discovered. The mating had
been washed Thursdaytand was damp
yet or the fire would not have died OUT
| as 1t did.
