ers in steel mills that were closed In
Rugh's honor, wept as they formed
in line with their employers and
walked slowly past the coffin of the
dead "newsboy." Their wives and
children were with them and many
stretched forth their hands in an
effort to express their reverence by
offering money for the erection OF a
monument.
Policemen found difficulty in ex-
planning to hundreds of the mourn
ers, although some could not speak
English, that they must not shower
the coffin with money, but must keep
II until arrangements for the memo
rial tribute could be made.
The pastor likened the dead hero
to the Christ, and quoted from the
Bible. He saved others. yet himself
he could not save" This was his text.
What means this concourse OF
people? Why has the heart OF Gary
been touched as never before? Why
do thousands block the streets %
asked the minister. I'VE are told a
man Is dead. Why, men die every
day. Yet this man had no office, and
was almost unknown. He was only a
newsboy. But he made the great
sacrifice. He risked his life, then
gave II that a girl whom he never
knew might live. His was the sac
rifice Of one who loved his fellow
man.
I'm life his CHEEKY smile and kind
ly greeting was worth going mile to
see and hear. In death he has attract
ed an assemblage to pay him tribute
that would not assemble for self
centered man. This was the spirit
of Rugh. The spirit of self-sacrifice
and If you are inspired by it my words
will not have been In vain"
Tears dimmed the eyes of the
thousands as they united in singing
Jesus Lover of My Soul" Then
Rev j. A. McClenanhan, pastor of the
United Presbyterian church, delivered
brief prayer.
"Rugh has been the teacher of us
an he said. I'VE pray for his soul
and that his lesson may be engraved
upon the tablets of our hearts and
lead us to higher thoughts.
Then a path was made on either
side of the coffin, and 1t was opened
that thethousands might have last
view of the dead hero's face. For
nearly an hour the double lines of
sorrowers passed by. 1t was then
that many attempted to offer money
for the memorial monument. So
great was the throng that when one
of the women passersby tainted those
before and behind her had to carry
her on. There was no way at the
sides.
Among those who passed slowly by
We're Charles Smith and his two sons.
1t was Ethel Smith, his l9-year old
daughter. whose life was saved by
Rugh's sacrifice. She was unable to
leave her bed.

LOADED CARS SHOW
VESTS PROSPERITY

San Francisco, oct. 22.-Evidence
of the prosperity of the Western states
is furnished by figures made known
by the southern Pacific company as
to the number of freight cars loaded
this season. The average loading on
the lines of this company in Califor-
MIA is greater by 600 cars per month
over the same period last year. or
about 200 cars per day.
Railroads have been heavily press
ed for rolling stock because of this
sudden demand for service. Only the
hearty cooperation on the part Of
the shippers has made it possible to
keep all the traffic moving. The
large fruit farms have instructed
their agents not to delay or divert
shipments unnecessarily and have is
sued circulars to this effect, for the
principal difficulty has arisen from
movements in the Eastern states.
The Pacific Fruit Express. accord
ing to an announcement made by
President Sproule of the Southern Pa
cific company, has ordered 1000 more
refrigerator cars of the latest de-
sign. This number, together with the
lot of 1000 only recently ordered.
VIII bring up this lines total equip
ment to 1900 cars, representing an
investment of over $40, ,0OO,O 900 all to
be available on July 1st of next year,
in time for the 1913 fruit movement.
The new cars are designed especi-
ally for the fruit packapea nnculiar p,
California and the West and will load
easily and economically. They will
be fitted with Sohn collapsible tanks
and a modern system of heat insula-
tion.

of the w. c. T. u, which everyone
could recognize.
Mrs. Spencer made a plea for bet
ter educational opportunities for the
Indians. She compared the race to a
child, and said that when the Indians
were in their most natural state, many
bad Influences came to them from
the early settlers who had no regard
for their welfare.
THE Indians are now In their
most adolescent, most critical stage"
said Mrs. Spencer: Let us help
them through to the time when they
are a race. equal in every character

Mrs. Spencer warmly commended
General Grant who was the first to
believe and put in practice the the
ory that 1t was better to educate the
Indians than to kill them.

For the week ending Sept. 8, 1912.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was one Of the hot
test of the season, with abundant
sunshine, and a high percentage OF
humidity. Showers were frequent
during the first half of the week,
and were quite general, although
the rain fall was very light in the
southeastern counties. The heaV-
lest rainfall occurred over the south
western quarter of the state, and
copious showers were reported from
the central and northeastern dis
tricts. More than five inches OF rain
fell in Audubon and Guthrie
counties, and more than four inches
in Shelby county. The weather was
unusually favorable for forcing the
maturity of corn, but the crop Will
require four more weeks OF dry,
warm weather to put it beyond
danger of killing frost. Much OF the
corn is dented, but a large portion
of the crop is only in the roasting
ear stage. Considerable threshing
was done, except where the rainfall
was the heaviest, and there rapid
progress was made in blowing and
seeding fall grains. Pasturage is
generally in good condition, and late
potatoes are doing fairly we'll.

Attorney General Cosson says
that two Iowa laws must be enforc-
ed and he has called upon the
county attorneys to do their duties
or lose their offices. The two laws
are the road dragging law and the
weed cutting law. The farmers
themselves have helped to enact
these laws, for the farmers had
many members in the legislature and
both are conceded to be for the good
of all the people. Being on the
statute books the attorney general
wants them to be enforced and that
forthwith. The weed cutting law
means that the roadways must be
moved, as the railroads now have
to NOW their right of ways. 1t has
always appeared like a bit of folly
to make the highways of the state,
nurseries for seeds of pestiferous
plants.-Decorah Journal.

Long Struggle Ends in GAINESVILLE
Coal Mine Being UniOniZed.

Like a bolt of lightning out OF
a clear sky came the announce
ment in the form of telegram
from the east Saturday, that the
Grand River Coal and Coke Co.,
had come to an agreement with
the officials of the United Mine
Workers OF America and that in the
future the mine would be operated
by union labor
OF course we do not know all the
articles of agreement, but accord
ing to our information the agree
ment is mutual each side yielding
certain points contended for in an
effort to get together. Briefly stat
ed the Coal company agreed to
unionize and to take back the strik-
ers as fast as room could be made
for them and to give them prefer
ence over new miners who may ap-
ply for work. Union officials agreed
that nonunion workmen employed at
the time the agreement was signed
should be permitted to keep their
places without prejudice and that
ample time would be given them to
join the union. 1t was further NUT
ually agreed that all boycotts against
business men or other parties be ter
minated and such parties restored
to their standing before the trouble
began. All agreements concerning
the employment of miners are based
on the Missouri law governing the
employment of miners.
The fight has been long and eX-
pensive one extern ding over a period
of about nine months and each OF the
contending parties spent thousands
of dollars in the effort to Win-the
one to run an independent mine, and
the other to unionize it-and it was
truly a struggle of giants. Sixteen
men, former strikers, reported at
the mine for work yesterday morn
ing, another batch this morning, etc.,
until room shall have been found for
all of them.
1t is a matter of congratulation
that the labor troubles are settled
and all should unite their best ef-
forts and energies for the further
upbuilding of the city, the fostering
of her industries and the promotion
of her business nterests.-Cainsvill

REAL IRISH DIMITY.
70 ctr.


We procured samples Of all Of them.
There was not one piece Of imported
goods in the lot Investigation proved
that the store buyer had purchased
these Irish" dimities from q Boston
tobber at 10 cents yard and that they
were made in a New England mill.
Here was supposed bargain" in
a supposedly imported" fabric. on
which the retailer was taking a profit
Of 80 per cent!
! This happens to be fabric repre-
,6enting the highest efficiency in Amer
lean manufacturing. 1t is class of
goods in which we can compete ad-
ivantageously with any country In the
world The tariff boards investiga-
lions discovered on sample No. SO an
American cost of production Of 1-3
cents q yard. In all the mills inves-
dgated the boards representatives
found that the low and high costs Of
manufacture Of this fabric did not
vary half u cent yard.
i Who Gets tho Profit?
The manufacturer Of this American
dimity. that is sold as imported" and
"Irish." does not get the excessive
profit. In: some Instances the manu-
facturer does. but here he sells to the
jobber at 8 cents, taking only NOM
inal manufacturing profit Of two-thirds
cent a yard. The jobber sells to the
retailer at 10 cents, a % per cent mar
gin for the jobber.
In Canada, with 25 per cent tariff. d
cotton fabric costing 10 cents yard
would be sold to the consumer at 1871
or sometimes at Is cents If the pattern
happened to be in special demand. In
the United States. with its prohibitive
tariff, the retail price is always much
higher. The standard>price retail Is 10
cents for the fabric wholesaled at IL:
But when the tariff is excessive-it Is
"a per cent on this printed dimity-the
dishonest retailer can get away with
his deception and double or more than
double his normal profit by selling the
domestic article as imported" The
retailer knows that he could not buy
genuine imported dimity Of this
quality from a foreign manufacturers
agent in New York for less than 15h
or 1917 cents, and the trade would re-
tail this at Is. he compares the do
nestle and foreign fabrics and finds
the American made is equal In every
respect to the fabric from abroad. So
he says to himself. ''Why not sell 1t as
foreign goods at price that will make
it attrachve?" ....

New York, Aug. The proh1bitive
tariff, revised upward by the Payne
Xldrich law, permits and fosters
Wholesale frauds upon the American
consumer Of cotton goods.
T., Less than per cent of the cotton
fabrics consumed in the United States
comes from abroad, because the pro.
tective duties have been made so high
that importation is improbable.
Yet fully one-third Of the cotton
piece goods going over retail counters
is sold as IMPORTED" or under
names implying foreign origin.
This deception 10 generally perpe-
trated upon tho consumer for tho pur-
pose Of obtaining exorbitant prices for
domestic goods.
The consumer, believing the goods
are imported and knowing that the
tariff adds excessively to their cost,
pays 80 to 100 per cent more than a
fair price and does not suspect that he
is being cheated.
