EIGHT CENTS a DAY.
Workers Pay In England Whom Board
Was Shilling a Week.

was SnIIIIn9 "ooN'
There was q time when a workman
in England received 8 cents day as
an ordinary wage, when skilled ar
tisans commanded ~ cents day and
when women worked In the field at
such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing,
planting beans and washing sheep
for 2 cents day, and wise student
Of the subject has expressed the opin-
ion that the British workman of that
day was better off than he has ever
been since then.
That sounds paradoxical. But the
explanation is this: The workman
who sold his services for 8 cents
day could buy good beef or mutton for
~ cents pound. Wheat cost him on
the average only 1S cents bushel.
He could get board for - to 16 cents
week. The pay he would receive for
fifteen weeks services would suffice
to purchase n supply Of suitable food
stuffs, according to the standard Of his
time consisting Of wheat, malt and
oatmeaD, to maintain his family for
an entire year.
Under these circumstances 8 cents
day-increased to IL cents in harvest
time-was a fair wage, and times
were good" for the average workman.

Especial To The Trlbune.)

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 28.-The keen
ness of an Indians eye was demon
strated a few days ago at The state
capitol in St. Paul when a committee
of five Sioux called to preselr Il pc
ton to Governor Eberhart.
Among the handsome paintings in
the building is one portraviny Il scene
connected with the Sioux treaty OF
1851. The old braves were sure the y
recognized the face of Sitting Bull
in the picture and in truti. :hey did
but the great chief had no right in
the picture. Sitting Bull was not at
the pow WOW, but his picture is in
the scene just the same. The artist
who painted the picture, according to
R. I. Holcomb of the Minnesota his
torical society, had a photograph of
Sitting Bull, and as he regarded it
as a particularly strong Indian face,
drew it into the picture. The visiting

How Il Feels to Be Run Over.

"When l was run over,' writes q
correspondent, II had not seen the car
approaching. The first thing l knew
was that l was on the ground, kicking
upward with my legs in an effort to
get from under the car Then l felt a
wheel going over my chest which
bent as it passed over. In the inter.
vening second or two l went through

had the sensations Of establishment at
being on the ground, Of wanting to roll
aside and away, of bracing myself
and my chest especially-stiff to resist
something, whatever it might be, while
lightning flash Of fear was dimly
there and a subconscious query, What
on earth next?' Yet it was hardly
fear, because there was no time for
such durable sensation. 1t was rath-
er a sense of being suddenly confront
ed with a grave reality, of doubtful,
obscurely terrible import" - London
Chronicle.

EAGLE EYE Of Indians
FOUND FLAW IN PICTURE

Indians. who had followed the old
chief on the warpath, could not be
deceived. They remembered him, but
if any of them recalled that he was
not present when the pow WOW de-
picted by the artist was held, they
held their tongue, as is common with
an Indian.
The Indians came to St. Paul to
retssert their claim to land along
the Minnesota river. They claim ten
miles on either side of the stream
from Redwood Falls to the Dakota
line. Mr.. Holcomb says the title to
the lands has long since been settled
and the Indians no longer have any
claim on it. Mr.. Holcomb says the
land on the north side of the river
was sold by the Indians in 1853 and
paid for. The government confiscated
the land on the south side of the river
in 1863 by act of congress because
of the Sioux outbreak in 1862.

Hence, at the present time there are
eight institutions receiving benefit from
the one mill tax. instead of six as or
iginally provided for in the law. 1t
is hard to tell in what manner it was
decided to place the two latter on the
list and by what means the apporton-
nent was decided upon.
The law provides that this money
shall be for the maintenance of the in
stitution.' In looking over the appro-
priations of the legislature. the fact is
disclosed that in many cases the appro-
priations have included in the list the
item of maintenance" Therefore the
question arises, "Why have a one mill
tax to provide maintenance for certain
state institutions unless it entirely re-
licves the legislative assembly of the
trouble of deciding upon an appropria-
ton for such institutions for the same
thing that is supposed to be provided
for by the one mill taxi"
AS stated in the law, this amount is
paid over to the institution treasurers
monthly, in bulk sum, without other
voucher than a receipt for the money
In other words. this money is monthly
handed to the several institutions accord
ing to the amount of tax paid in, and
there is nothing at all by which the
auditing board may check its expendi-
tt1re. There are no means by which it
may be ascertained whether it is being
used as provided BY law, and in an
economical way, either before or after
it has been used There is no law pro-
viding that the state auditor or the state
treasurer shall be notified of any balance

THE KIMBERLY GOLD MINES
The Richest Ever Discovered. A
Proposition to Send Dawson
Man Out TO Inspect Them.

Mr.. w. c. Davis of Atlanta is in
the city in the interest of the Kim
berly gold mines at Kimberly, Ne
vada, now attracting the attention of
investors and the mining world.
These are said to be the richest
mines ever discovered, and, as Mr..
Davis says, 1.-The proof of the pud-
ding is the 'chawing' of the bag. "
He is telling the people of this city
that II they are not satisfied with
the published reports of the wonder
ful gold discoveries at Kimberly to
choose one of Dawsons most trust
worthy and reliable men and send
him out there to inspect and investi-
gate these properties with instruc-
tons to report the facts as he finds
them, good or bad. If his report is
not favorable Respass & Co., with
whom Mr. Davis is associated, will
refund the expenses of the round
trip. Mr. Davis says that Hon. w.
D. Scott, mayor of Moultrie. made
the trip for himself and a party of
investors in Moultr!e on this promo
sition, and came back perfectly en-
Unused.
Parties wishing to purchase syn
ticate mining stock are permitted to
depoAt their money in their own
bank and in their own name for
twelve months at such interest as the
bank will pay, and if at the eXpira-
ticn of the twelve months they are
dissatisfied with the purchase the
trade may be cancelled and the mon
ey deposited may be withdrawn from
the bank with interest. No PROPOSE
ton can be fairer.
Senator John R. Irwin can tell you
about these mines; so can Respass &
Co., Gambler Building, Atlanta, if you
write to them.

1t seems that she became enraged

of spite.
She borrowed the gun with which
she took her life from a neighbor,

with whom she talked that she shot
herself the coroner did not hold an
