IS YEARS AGO
(June "a, 1887

Some shale outcroppings of stuff re-
sembling coal were found on the Evans
place, four miles from town, this
week by w. McCready. 1t is evident
ly bituminous, and burns readily in the
forge, and there appears to be plenty
of it. The specimens left with us
have been sent to Omaha for anal
lysis, and if it proves to be coal it will
stimulate railroad building without n
doubt. The geological features of this
prairie do not indicate the existence of
coal formation, and there is nothing
in the discovery to justify excitement.
Everybody is predicting big har-
vest and good times this fall.
John Coram sold forty steers last
week to butcher from the lower
country.
A Chinese mining camp is missing
on Snake river, above Lewiston, and
it is feared that the entire gang has
been murdered either by whites or
Indians, as mutilated dead bodies have
been found in the river.

WAGE INCREASE

For the last wear or two we have
seen in the papers accounts merely Of
wage cuts Reductions have run all
the way from 10 percent to 80 percent,
with an average of about % percent.
| should not be surprised to see some
advances from this time on. The
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., of Akron,
o., has already advanced wages 10
percent. Other concerns which are
temporarily short of labor are offer
ing more money. It is, however, in
teresting to note that the labor unions
were not successful in holding up
wages at the time of the decline and
are not forcing increases at this time.
History is simply repeating itself. The
law of supply and demand determines
wages as il determines prices. If bust
ness begins to pick up this summer, as
I anticipate :; will, the demand for
labor will increase. Owing to the fact
that immigration has been cut off, this
will necessarily cause employers to
bid against one another and wages will
again go up, for a time at least. Con-
sidering long period of years into
the future, the trend of wages may
continue downward, but temporary
upturn would not be surprising.
"The Babsonchart on business con-
ditions is acting in a very peculiar
way and is suggestive of turn for
the better within the next few weeks.
The time is fast approaching when one
half of the preceding area Of expan-
sion will be offset. When this time
comes, it can be truly said that we
have turned the corner. This does not
mean that we are about to enter a
period of prosperity, but it does mean

ton with the building and other trades.
Thus there is very little suffering or
hardship in these mill cities. The
strikes may never be officially declared
off. They may be ended by the mill
owners securing other employees from
the country districts, who have never
before worked in the mills, and by the
old mill workers getting positions in
other lines of activity. The strike is
developing largely into a swapping of
jobs. So far as the general welfare of
satisfactory as to have the strikers go
back. The average business man is
primarily interested in having people
employed, and to businss as a whole,
if makes little difference for whom in
dividuals work.
"I prophesy that the threatened rail
way strike will end by the men shift
ing jobs. These men engaged in the
maintenance of-way, are largely men
who have not been able to secure po-
sitions in trades. Under present bust
ness conditions the cut is justified as
these men could not secure elsewhere
wage equivalent to what the rail
roads are now paying them. If, how
ever, business begin to improve this
summer, and the demand for labor in
creases, it is very probable that the
best of these maintenance-of-way men
will get positions in the building and
other trades while the railroads will
import a new lot of men from the

 Eaters
United Commercial Travellers are

United Commercial Travellers are satisfied this morning. Success in their annual baseball engagement With the rival organization, Travel CTS Protective association, makes satisfaction this morning a conceded thing. In yesterdays annual game at Redwood, the U. c. T. outfit won a decisive to victory over their foes.
 The game was not only success from a baseball standpoint, but also from tho standpoint for which 1t was staged. The travellers played their game this year in benefit of tho Anti-Tuberculosis association, and a pleasing fund was secured from pro- ceeds of yesterdays game.
 Railbirds who attended the game had their share of satisfaction, also. A score or more prizes were award ed holders of lucky numbers. There were two prizes left over, thermos bottle and a parlor rug. These ar ticles were auctioned off, the pro- ceeds being added to the Anti-Tuber- culosis association fund
 Back to tho game itself, 1t was the ability of the U. c. T.'s to slap the pill in the pinches that beat the T. r. A. outfit. Manager Thur mans mon collected 12 bingles off two T. P. A. pitchers. the majority of their clouts coming towards the latter part of the game, when the score was increased. Davis, Young and Hahn led the batting, the first two with a three bingIes each, and Hahn with two. Smith, U. C. T. twirler, slapped out the longest hit of the day, triple to right center. His drive went four four bases, though as an error on the relay let him slip in from third.
 Smith piched a very good game for the winners, keeping the seven hits off him well scattered. After the third inning, when the T. P. A. nine scored it's lone run, he was practi- cslly invincible. Smith struck out ten batters.
 Charlie Abrams. who had charge of arrangements for the game stated last night that he is entirely satis- fled with the outcome of this years affair. that Is so far as financial suCceHa iS concerned. Ccore

impressed that they have been bal lyhooing a bout for Red with the king himself-Young Stribling, whom Georgians consider the peer of peerage. That bout will ma terialize, as 1t looks now, for Her ring meets Young Stribling at Ma con on Labor Day.
 Herring's most recent big bout was a scheduled 12-round encoun- ter with Pete Choke, at Louisville. Red wasn't feeling well, and called it a night after about four rounds. after crooning Pete to sleep with that well known ditty: His right is might"
 These three rather important chapters in Herring's diary of clouts were sandwiched in between by a couple of draws and decision battles waged by the local mauler
 Raiibirds will probably welcome an opportunity to see Red Herring in action again. His aggressive. willing style of battling has made a hit, and fans know that at least one of the boys is doing his best when Herring fights.
 Avera, the Fox
 Larry Avera hasn't fought In Bir- mingham in a long time. several months, to be exact. But his last fight here was so one-sided that it was uninteresting. Larry gave Sailor Blanque, the tough guy from New Orleans, the whaling of his life. and showed so much ability at lodging clouts and making his opponent look foolish that Sailor Blanque faded from local favoritism. no more to re- turn, 1t seems.
 Avera is known as decidedly hard man to corner, a dangerous op- ponent at all times, and well worth seeing in action. He has been knocked out by Herring once, but has fought two later draws with the Red Rebel" mauler
 The boxing bout week from to- morrow night will be on the boxing card after the main wrestling show. Main wrestling bouts have not been announced yet.

Princeton Star to
 Coach ( Cumberland

Lebanon, Tenn, August 12.-(Spe- cial. )--Athletics at Cumberland Uni versity have taken new life with the announcement that Byrd Douglas of Nashville, Princeton university star will head this department the com ing year. The announcement was made following a special call meet ing of the board of trustees. It was stated after the meeting that ath- letics will hereafter be given a prominent part in student activities at the university.
 Douglas is a former Cumberland student. having starred on all ath- letic teams here before attending Princeton. He is very popular throughout this section and his ap- pointment as head coach has been received with considerable joy by the followers of sports of Cumber- land.
 pr. John Royal Harris, newly elected president of the university, has expressed himself as favoring athletics in college. However, pro- fessionalism will be entirely ex- cluded and only bona fide students will be allowed to take part in any of the athletic contests. Heretofore it has been the policy of this insti- tuition to consider athletics as a minor part of student life. but this year has seen a great change in this policy.
 A tight schedule is being worked out that will perhaps be the stiffest the Cumberland boys have ever gone up against, but indications so far are that the team will be un- surpassable by any university of this class. Practically all the letter men in the line will be back this year, but a new backfield will have to be broken in. This should not prove a hard job for Coach Douglas, however. as he will have the crack scrubs of last year, and the incoming high school stars to draw from

It has been many a week since Herring last fought at the B. A. C.. In hls last appearance here, Herring battled ten gory rounds with Patsy McMahon, of Indianapolis, and then dropped out of the limelight locally. except on occasions when he refereed bouts or seconded the efforts of con- temporary ringmen.
 Although Red RebeP' has not fought here in quite a while, he has not been idle, and has been carrying on in lust fashion in foreign rings. Foreign is the proper word, for Her ring is a local scrapper now. Sev- eral months ago. with Jack Bodne, he set up a Collie kennel at East Lake, and has been dividing his time between his dogs and his dukes.
 Red on Wnrpath.
 That Red has not gone back, and that he Is as pugnacious a charac- ter as ever, that is. when it's time to be pugnacious, is proven by the recent record of the sorrel topped freckle king. After staging a more or less disastrous bout with Frankie Tucker over in Arkansas. in which Herring received pair of black, google eyes, like a fish or some thing, Red rested up few days, then went at 1t again.
 The first item to be checked off on Reds victim list had to do with Young Leonard. the New Orleans mitt slinger. Herring fought Leonard here. the bout ending in fashion not as satisfactory as it might. Red marked all that down against Leon ard, and several weeks ago had his chance to apply the eraser In bout at Louisville, Herring com pletely .cooled" Leonard, scoring an easy knockout victory over the Cres- cent City salmon.

 Over in Atlanta they had been touting one Fearless Ferns, a very good little scrapper, and Nemesis of Freddie Boorde and Young Strib- ling. Herring sauntered over to the Gate City, slowed his man away in seven rounds, and Atlantans were so

Barons Play Two Games at Redwood, Then Leave
 for Memphis
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

It's rather poor consolation, consid- ering the lowly standing of the Vols and Lookouts, but, nevertheless, rail- birds can't get around the fact that Joe Dunn's Barons cashed in their fifth straight victory yesterday when they garrisoned their way to to 2 finish over the Lookouts.
 As shy of class as they are sup posed to be, the LookoHs and Vols have managed to make life miserable for Joe Dunn,s men. The last four of the Baronsi five victories have been won by one run margins, and that's a pace too speedy for the best of them to maintain.
 A double header was scheduled for Chattanooga today. but one of those two games was played some time ago, so only a single encounter will take place this afternoon.
 BarOns Back Home Monday
 After closing out the series with Chattanooga today the Barons return home tomorrow. Their stay will be a short one, however. as they play only two games here, then hop away on another road jaunt of seven games.

Daue Danforth Tells How He Pitches
 Mud Ball"

St. Louis, August 12.-Bidding St. Louis fans farewell. Dave Danforth. pitcher of the local Americans, on whom the team management has ob- tained waivers, tonight explained how he delivered ball and gave a precise description of his method of holding the ball. which has fre- quently given cause for the charge that the former American association star was "doctoring" the ball.
 In explaining his method of hold ing the ball, Danforth asserted he, unlike other pitchers, would rub the ball with his bare hand only on one side, and would, in delivering the ball. hold the side which he had rubbed to the front. He denied he ever used any foreign substance to load the seams or roughen the ball.
 It was announced yesterday that Danforth would be turned over to some minor league. with the option of recalling him,

Humane Society Doing Great Work Finding
 Lost Dogs

Another instance of the excellent work the Birmingham Humane so- ciety is going these day in finding homes for stray dogs. and helping owners find animals which have roamed away or become lost was af- ferded last week, when Fred Fender, officer of the society, located and returned to Marvin CoCarthy a full grown Airedale dog, which had strayed from home a week previous.
 Fred Fender, who makes 1t his business to keep up with all stray animals. stated that credit must be given Mrs. Louis Hoster, 1705 Hayes avenue. for helping locate the above mentioned Airedale. which answers to the unique name of "Bancna." The Birmingham Humane society has under construction a decidedly up-to-date home for stray animals. This dog ranch" Is being con- structed on Avenue A, and, when completed, will be one of the most completely equipped homes for strays in the south.
 Instances of the Humane society and MT. Fender locating owners of stray dogs have been numerous in the past. and officials of the society state that the work will be pushed even more vigorously with comple- tion of suitable quarters for home less animals.
