There has been placed in effect all
over the country, an increase in the
price of coal since the issuance of
the call for the miners strike on No.
vember 1, according to report from
indianapolis, the headquarters Of the
United Mine Workers Of America. A
recent statement issued by the union
headquarters says that the consumer
is already being forced to pay one
dollar more a ton for coal than a
week ago, although the strike has
not yet gone into effect. # is init
mated that this action in arbitrarily
increasing the price Of coal in ad-
vance of the strike Is for the purpose
Of prejudicing the public against the
miners.

Auto-intoxication can be best
ascribed to our own neglect or
carelessness. When the organs fail
in the discharge of their duties,
the putrefactive germs set in and
generate toxins-actual poisons,
which fill ones own body.
Sleepiness after meals, flushing
Of the face, extreme lassitude, bill
iousness, dizziness, sick headache,
acidity of the stomach, heartburn,
offensive breath, anemia, loss of
weight and muscular power, de-
crease of vitality or lowering of
resistance to infectious diseases,
disturbance Of the eye, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastritis, many forms
of catarrh, asthma, ear affections
and allied ailments result from
auto-intoxication orself-poisoning.

CHILD STRUCK BY cAFs 10
ESCAPES DEATH sS iRAcLE

An incident occurred * e corner
of Fourth and Main Satu evening
about 9:15 which although creating
intense excitement for few minutes,
did not prove disastrous.
AS Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Langford and
their little four year old daughter,
Geneva crossed the street, the child
q few feet in advance, Mr.. and Mrs.
f. T. Cummings drove their car around
the corner, colliding with the child
in such a manner as to throw her
under the car. By most unusual
fate she fell directly in the track of
the car, the wheels passing on either
side, and she escaped with but single
bruise on one arm.
Mr. Cummings brought the car 10
a stop at once and ascertained that the
injuries were not serious. He was
driving slowly when he turned the
corner. and no blame is attached to
him. either by the parents or by other
witnesses.

fTRAIN JUMPS TRACK ON
[CERRO HILL-TWENTY INJURED

sSunday afternoon. the passenger
train from Salida, in charge of Con-
dpctor Hoffman, jumped the track
while ascending Cerro Hill, all the
cars excepting the engine and tender
leaving the track. Passengers state
that all that held the cars from roll
ing down the embankment was the
couplings that held the cars.
About twenty persons were more
or less injured. mostly cut, bruised
or burned about the face and head.
However, none were fatally injured,
which is regarded as a miracle.
H. A Richardson and E. Y. Layton
OF Delta were aboard and Mr.. Layton
who is railroad man, noticed the un-
usual jarring at once. He put his
head out of the window and about
that time his car left the track, turn
ing completely over. He lost no time
in climbing out, and reached the top
of the car uninjured.
Various causes have been ascribed.
but none have given a satisfactory
solution of the mystery.

ATTENTION

1t will be worth while for you to
stop long enough to read this and
give it your careful consideration.
The city has been over indulgent in
regard to enforcing ordinances per-
tanning to streets and alleys and our
1eniency along this line has caused
some people to abuse their privileges.
and to these people we have this to
say:
The cost of a garbage can to you
will be much less than for you to have
to appear at the city hall and explain
why you are without one, and why
your garbage. ashes and other debris.
are thrown into the alley and streets
for the city to gather up and take
care of.
Ninety percent Of the accumulations
found in our alleys could be burned
in an ordinary cook stove and the
ashes consigned to the garbage can
from which it is an easy matter to
transfer to the garbage wagon. For
the benefit of those that do not know
what our ordinances are in regard to
streets and alleys. We submit them to
you rs tneN stdHu OH OuT oIulHduCc
books
And in submitting them we wish to
say that they are not dead letter laws
and in the future they are going to
be strictly enforced.
Section /. That the owner or tenant
