Hia constancy to party has often made him appear inconstant in his advocacy of public measures, yet his "honesty of purpose has never been questioned. He has seen political light merely as it filtered from his party's platform and by its erratic rays his official footsteps have been guided.

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.

Courage is a Curious Thing.

Humanity has strange peculiarities in the matter of courage. An old veteran of fifty-one battles, living in Freedom, Washtenaw county, who fought unterrified while shells of the enemy that plowed the earth around him sent, many a soul to its final account, declares that the "pluck" is all out of him when attacked by a honeybee, and that he had rather meet the lead "jokers" of the "Johnnies" than the jabs of the bee's javelin. In a Southern Michigan regiment was a big, strapping fejlow, physically a soldier every inch, with a stride as grand and a bearing as martial as that of Napoleon. But in every battle this man ran from the enemy, and nothing could have stopped his wild flight short of a bullet through the head or heart. Yet he did not lack courage of a certain kind. No man dare encounter him in physical combat, for he would stay in from the start to the time he haxi made pulp of his antagonist. "If the 'Johnnies' would only drop their darn guns and make it a fist fight," he said, "I'd fight a whole regiment of them but, blast their bullets! I just can't stand it to be shot at."

The Colonel Was Unfortunate.

Mr, Brywn was unfortunate in having twitted Mr. Cleveland about polling a million less votes in 1892 than were cast for himself in 1896. The Baltimore News sharply calls his attention to a fact which he chooses to hide. In 1892 the Populists ran candidates for president of their own, who polled an aggregate of over 1,000,000 votes, which, added to the 5,550,000 cast for

Cleveland, made a total of 6,598,046. The total vote of

SINKING NEW SHAFTS

RICHARDS COAL COMPANY HERE BUYS LARGE TRACT

INVADES E. & T. H. TERRITORY

Operator Explains Why They Do Not Expect to Grant Miners Increase of Twenty-Five Per Cent.

Howard Richards, of the firm of Geo. C. Richards & Sons, coal operators and dealers, with offices in Terre Haute, was in Sullivan Saturday hunting drillers. He secured the services of William MeCloud, who will conduct the drilling on a tract of land recently secured" by the Richards company.

The tract consists of 600 acres lying adjacent to the town of Currvsville and constituting an entire, section, with the cj.ception of the forty acres whicli comprise the town of Currysville. Drilling on this tract of land commenced today and it is expected that the work of sinking a shaft will begin about the middle of February.

Mr. Richardsd. says that the most serious obstacle the operators will Iiave to contend with from now on is the scarcity, of miners. He says, that the .miners,will, le in a position to pick out the mines in which they wish to work and the mines with good roofs, where the. work is easy, will he well supplied, while the mines itli poor roofs and here the coal is of such a character that it requires hard, work to mine it, will have to hustle for men.

He predicts a rise in the wages of the miners, as a result of the' conference to be held between the miners and the opera tors at Indianapolis this month, but as far as the advance of 25 per cent is concerned he says the aperOtors cannot affordd to pay that. The operators in this section of the country have hard work competing with the West Virginiaand Kentucky fields, as it is for the rate from West Virginia to Chicago is but $1.20 a ton while the rate from this section is 'jo cents. .Welst Virginia And Kentucky operators 3o not" have' to pay union prices and it makes the competition very close. A 25 per cent! increase says Mr. Richards, would put the operators here out of business. :,•£

The progress of coal operations is extending to the west of the E. & T. H. tracks. Five drills, under the direction of William MeCloud, have been at work or. a tract of 3,000 iacres lyini* west of Sullivan, mostly on the land owned by John Thompson.V The- MammofJi Vein Coal company is sinking a shaft south of Shelburn and west of. the, tracks.

Drilling has been completed on a tract of 700 acres lying seven miles west of Sullivan. The No. 6 vein there shows a width of 4% feet and is of a good quality. A shaft will be sunk there shortly and a'snur track from the Illinois Central will be ruh to the mine to carry off the output.

A. FROM ME SUED

Injured Painter Asks Ten Thousand .Dollars for Injuries Received By Ladder Breaking.

Attorney M. C. Hamill, for his client, Henry C. Harris has begun suit in the Superior court against August Fromme for $10,000. The plaintiff alleges that he was permanently injured as a result of. falling from a ladder while painting a. bam on a farm in Honey Creek township known as the Warren Park farm. He says that the accident was. on May 28, 1902, while he was in the employ of Fromme. H'

The plaintiff alleges that the accident was due to a defective and unsafe ladder furnished by the defendant. He says that he is a painter and has been enijag-= ed in painting houses and other bhildings for many years. He says that the defendant furnished him with an extension ladder and alleges that the defendant well knew that the ladder was unsafe and dangerous and unfit" for such use.

HOSPITAL SHAKE-UP

MATRON BAUR IS OUSTED ,FR£M UNION HOSPITAL "^Avi!

THE NURSES FOLLOW HER

Staff Insisted That the Matron Withdraw or They Would Retire/^ From the Institution.

Miss Johanna Baur, former matron, but now superintendent of the Union Hospital, has been asked by the board of directors to resign. Her successor will be Miss Ha slit, daughter, of Dr. Henry Ha-slit, of" Dolson, 111., Miss Brown, matron .of the hospital has also resigned through sympathy with Miss Baur. Miss Brown's sister also tendered licr resignation. There arc ten nurses at the institution. Miss Baur will leave Monday. The medical staff declared that the entire staff would withdraw unless Miss Baur resigned. It was charged her manners were too rough but no fault was found with her business management. The staff is composed of Drs. W. E. Bell, S. -T. Young, L. J. Weinstein, Joseph II Weinstein, W. C. Eiehleberger, John 1\. Crapo, W, R. Mattox, M. R. Combs, E. S. Niblack and Charles Gerstmeyer. The latter is consulting physician.

Miss Haslit. the new superintendent, comes with the highest recommendations. Her father is one of the leading physicians of Clarke county, 111., and she herself is a graduate of the Illinois Training school for Nurses at Chicago. There are'ten nurses at the hospital. In their written resignations they asser.t that they believe Miss Baur is unjustly treated that the}r were insulted when they

As to the trouble, people who called up over the telephone to make inquiries claimed of being insulted: people who called with flowers or other articles for sick friends at the hospital or to make inquiries concerning them claimed they had been insulted persons who had been contributing yearly to the hospital claimed that they were inssulted when thev tried to go through the hospital, and so it went on. until finally Drs. W. E. Bell fnd L. J. Weinstein, acting for the staff became spokesmen before a meeting of the board of directors and notified the board that either the staff or Miss Baur had to go.

Rock=a=Bye Baby

These are sweet words, but how rruch pain and suffering they used to mean. It's different now. Since Mother's Friend has become known expectant mothers have been spared much of the anguish of childbirth. Mother's Friend is a liniment, to be' applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives elasticity-and strength, and when the final great strajn comes thpy respond quickly andeasily without pain. Mother's Friend is never taken internally. Internal remedies 'at this time do more harm than good. If a.

woman is supplied with this splendid liniment she need never fear rising or swelling breasts, morning sickness, or any of the discomforts which usually accompany pregnancy.

The proprietor of a large hotel in Tampa, Fla., writes: "My wife had an awfuHime with her first child. During her second pregnancy, Mother's Friend was used and the baby was born easily before the doctor arrived. It's certainly great."
