Psychic Tendencies

Alfred W. Martin, who believes in
of the soul, in discussing
Psychic Tendencies of Today" insists
that while there is no material proof
of the existence of disembodied spirits.
there may be subjective evidence to
which one may turn for proof. In fact,
he sets ous to prove that materialism,
instead Of denying immortality, shows
the scientific warrant for a belief in it.
His book will not be pleasing to the
spiritualists, but there are others who
will find comfort if not intellectual sat

colors of rcd, white end blue to cele-
brate Armistice Day. The evening
dancing afforded much pleasure and

playing games. The refreshments
were delightful, cookies and punch,

FREIGHT DERAILED

The east bound freight was derailed
near Blodgett yesterday tearing up
considerable track, and as a conse-
quence the afternoon passenger was
about five hours late. ~.
This lateness Of the train emphasiz-
ed the need Of some lights ON our depot

this week that the train has come In

crowded with people and four or FIVE

END BELIEVED NEAR.
BY J. l.. O'Sullivan.


Omitted Press Correspondent.)
Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 9.--The
end of the coal strike was believed in
sight today, as executive heads of the
United Mine Workers gathered here
to consider President Wilson's pro-
posal for settlement Of the contro-
versy.
There was an unmistakable air of
optimism regarding the outcome Of
the meeting. That the men will start
back to work in the mines this week
and that normal production Of coal
will be reached next week was the
confident expectation Of many mine
worker leaders.
Although only the highest. officials
were acquainted with the TERMS Of
President Wilson's proposal, the min
ers took the position that whats
good enough for Lewis and Green is
good enough for u.s.
Contents Of the proposal were
carefully guarded and kept secret un-
til the conference opened at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon. Unofficial intima-
tions here, however, led to the belief
that the proposal provides for the
miners to return to work at once on
a wage increase Of IA per cent, and
the appointment Of commission to
investigate the entire coal industry
and report within the specified time,
regarding wages, hours of work and
conditions of miners, and also to in
vestigate reported huge profits of the
mine operators.
Charges Of contempt Of court
against ninety-seven officials OF the
mine workers, scheduled to be heard
today, were postponed.
