The Tablet unveiled in the Town

coin at Gettysburg, cast in iron, and
weighs over 100 pounds. The letters
of the immortal address are large and
legible done, in Gothic characters as
follows:
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation or any nation so
conceived and SO dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as a
final resting place for those who have
given their lives that the nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this. But in a
larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead who struggled here, have
consecrated it far above our poor pow
er to add or detract. The world will
little note nor long rememer what we
say here, but it can never forget what
they did here. 1t is for us. the living
rather to dedicate here to the great
task remaining before us, that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we hereby resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain, that the
nation under God, shall have new
birth of freedom, and that the govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people. shall not perish from the
earth. g Gettysburg, Nov. 10, 1868.
While there was not an overpower-
ing multitude present the day was
spent very enjoyably in fraterniza-
tion by the comrades

STRIKING MINERS
WIN SWEEPING
VICTORY IN ILLINOIS
Long WalkOut Ends With the
Operators Granting Every
Point Demanded.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5. The coal strike
ended today in the most sweeping vic
tory union labor has ever won. The
coal operators were forced to concede
every point from the increase in wages
to the laying of tracks and paying shot
firers. The miners and operators will
sign up at noon and there will be an
immediate rush of mine workers to
the mines.
The settling of the strike means the
increase of three cents a ton on all
coal mined in Illinois. In Williamson
and Franklin counties three cents ex
ira, or six cents ton. In the north
ern district two cents extra or five
cents a ton increase.
All workers about the mines will re-
ceive an increase in salaries of $3.50
per cent and the representatives of the
miners succeeded in obtaining ali in
crease equivalent to 10 lie per cent
for firemen. The companies will pay
for the laying of all tracks and also
pay the shotfrers. The increase in
salaries means about $S, 900, 900 annu-
ally to the operators.
Forty thousand minels will be the
recipients of increases. The day men
will start to work tomorrow and in
side of ten days it is expected that all
of the men will be back at the mines.

THE SPEED MANIA
Sensations That Come With a
Ride in a Racing Motor.

Imagine yourself in big racing
machine plunging over a course at
eighty miles an hour. For the average
man the sensa tion is awful, but the
speed kings revel in it, Down the
road streaks the Car. Lashed into a
typhoon by the appalling speed, the
still air roars in your ears. You think
you will never regain your hearing.
The resistance of the atmosphere is
fearful. The slightest move forward
is an effort. Distant objects loom up
suddenly before you and jump by.
The landscape is streaky line of
green, blotched here and there as
house is passed. The gale seems to
cut your face, and you feel yourself
being gradually fiattened out against
the back of the seat. 1t seems that
the glass in your auto goggles is ON
the point of breaking. Particles of
are dust driven back in your eyes.
You may become blinded. The vi
bration of the engine is terrific. Mys-
terious indicators fuctuate alarming
ly. 1t may mean that the engine is
on the point of exploding. What
makes the floor tremble so9 Surely
something will happen now.
And then you hear exlosions boom
ing from the exhausts as the drivers
shut off. - A sharp turn is ahead
The noise is deafening The terrific
speed does not seem to have been
checked. The outline of the turn
grows more distinct. 1t is sheer folly
maybe death-to rush at it at such
pace. You dare not breathe as the car
tears into the bend. It skids and
wall of dirt is thrown up alongside
you as the driver, with sharp twist
of the wheel sends the car once more
back in the middle of the road. You
are safe--until another turn is enooun-
tered. -Hampton's Magazine.

Great Salt Lake.

In glacial times Great Salt lake
was a magnificent fresh water lake
the size of Lake Huron-that is, about
1870, 900 square miles and had it's outlet
into the Port Neuf, the Snake and the
Columbia rivers. This was at least
10, 900 years ago, but since that time
the climate has become arid, and not
enough water has fallen over the Great
Basin to supply that lost by evapora-
tion. Consequently the lake has ceas-
ed to flow from its outlet and gradual
.ly dried up from over thousand feet
deep to fifteen feet and from $4,000
square miles in area to less than 1, 700.
1t is now seventy miles long and
about thirty wide, but is beautiful
still and is the home of myriads of sea
birds and other water fowl. 1t is the
great resort of the people of Utah, for
from 5000 to 5000 visit it's shores dali
ly in the summer, and many bathe in
its waters. The lake contains about
1000, 900, 900 tons of salt.
When the lake is high the salt is SO
diluted that it has gone down to II
per cent. When it isslow, as it was
not many years ago. it reached satura-
tion which for the mixed ingredients
of the water is 36 per cent.
There is nothing mysterious about it
any more than there would be about a
teacup with teaspoonful of salt in
the bottom. If tablespoonful OF wa
ter were put in the cup on the salt it
would taste very salty, but if the cup
we're filed to the brim with water it
would not.
The salt has come from the water Of
the rivers flowing into it since it ceas-
ed TO flow from its outlet. All river
water contains salt, and the annual
evaporation of from two to FIVE cubic
miles of this water leaves large quan.
titles of salt behind, and so it has ac-
cumulated for thousands Of years. -

The regular Annual Reunion of Post
SO. G.. A. r., was held here Saturday.
There were twenty comrades present,
with only slight sprinkling of visit
ors.
At the Post meeting at 10:30 a. M,
the comrades present raised the cost of
the Lincoln Tablet, which was unveil-
ed in the afternoon exercises.
At 10 m. a good dinner was enjoyed
on tables arranged in the hall Hot
coffee and lots of ''rations" made the
veterans smile and unbutton their
vests preparatory to laying in a good
store. Others besides the veterans also
partook and enjoyed the occasion.
At Q p. m. the exercises of the day
were held, Maj. T. H. Hill, Post
Commander, being in charge. An ad-
dress was made by Comrade McWil-
liams, of Dunlap, who feelingly spoke
of the @. A. R., and of those who had
departed from the battle of life. He
also exhorted the surviving comrades
to be stout soldiers against evil, and
made very practical address. Com
rade Lancaster endorsed every word of
Comrade McWilliams address, and
spoke of his company and how he was
the sole surviving commissioned officer
of that company. The choir then sang
the old camping song, "Nellie Gray,
after which Maj. Hill related his per-
sonal experiences with President Lin
coin in 1865, whose words are cast in
solid metal characters upon the tablet
to be unveiled Then Maj, Hill re-
quested the choir to sing the National
Anthem, America, and during the
singing of the third verse, two young
ladies, Misses Gladys Pryor and Lena
Lasater, unveiled the tablet. This
closed the exercises, which were very
impressive.
The following are the names of the
comrasss present:

FIGHT ON FOR
NEW YORK CENTRAL
LieutenantS Of Both Factions
Frame Their COnveH-
tiOn Plans

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The battle
for control of the New York State
Republican Convention between the
Roosevelt and "old guard factions.
has begun in earnest.
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, Ma
tional Committeeman William Ward,
William Barnes, Jr., Speaker of the
Assembly James Wordsworth, Jr.,
and their closest lieutenants got I'm
touch with each other either by tele-
graph or telephone today and arrang-
ed conference in which they will
perfect their plans.
County Chairman Lloyd Griscom,
Roosevelt's chief supporter, got into
communication with Postmaster Fred
Grenier, of Buffalo, Senator Daven-
port, of Utica, and other Roosevelt
leaders and prepared to hunt for up
State delegates.
Most of the county delegates to the
State Convention have already been
selected and for the most part they
are admittedly anti-progressive. The
fight in the cities and towns will come
at next months primaries and on the
result Of these will hinger control.
Because OF this, the two factions in
the party will bend all of their ef-
forts TO swaying the district leaders
In the sections to which the primary
lay apply.
The opponents of the Roosevelt
plans base their belief that they will
be able to control the State Conven-
ton on the vote by which the Hughes
direct primaries bill was rejected in
the State Assembly at the recent extra
session. This vote, they say was rep
resentative of the feeling throughout
the State and will be duplicated in
the convention.
Chairman Griscom insisted today
that, while the "old guard" might have
an apparent majority, when the time
came, the personality of Colonel
Roosevelt would split the various del
egations and there would not be a
single leader who could cast a unit
vote against Roosevelt or his sugges-
tiOns excepting Barnes.
