DUNNVILLE. Hurrah for D. V., the Boston of Jasper. | Prof. R. A. Mannan was over from \ Demotte last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper McMurry drove j over the San Pierre last Sunday. Sister Mae Witt of Walker, visited her : parents last Sunday. Mae is as god as | ever. Mr. and Mrs. Mell Wood of Virgie, J were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes last Monday. Mr. Hankey of San Pierre, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William Kellerman last Sunday. George Brett has made a novel cattle dehorning machine, which for originality and simplicity has ho equal. Revival service begun at the M. E. church last Monday evening, conducted by the pastor, and Rev. Hickman of Judson. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rockenbach departed for Joliet, 111., last Monday. Wt are sorry they had to move from our neighborhood. , Uncle Isaac has for sale, a pair of constabulary hand-cuSs which he, by faith, purchased what seemed to be, prematurely. Four in one buggy is a novel mode of navigation by land, but seems to be the prevailing fashion. We think the time will come when this quartette mode will be as popular as Goo-Goo eyes as a song, was. Ord Hanley, one of our rising young school teachers, was in our midst last Sunday, flooding the landscape with beams of joy. Of course he had some attraction here then. The Wheathe d cor, if she chose to, could enlighten us on the subject. The Misses Caroline Gilbransen, Minnie Tinkham, Elva East and our good of goodest friends, the Wheatfield Cor., were D. V. visitors last Sunday. It has been quite a while since our town has been honored with the presence of four Wheatfield girls all at the same time. Welcome, thrice welcome, ye sisters of Wheatfield, to ourcity. Please punctuate the future with a few more comma visitations, to our piovince. Those three D. V*.boy» that we sent to Wheatfield as represntatives of our city are as near perfection as can be found in this part of the earth. Go where you will you can not find their equals. Now we are truly glad that the people of Wheatfield with one exception nave recognized their dignified station and have heaped upon them honois supreme. This recognition proves to us that Wheatfield as a people are sincere. The campaign is over and has been recorded upon the pages of the unwritten history as one of the hardest political battles eveii waged in the county. The chief fight was over the local tickets, county and township. We have been defeated, speaking from a county standpoint, but not vanquished, for the same spirit that actuated us to wage the battle is not blown out. There is still abundant life in the body of the democratic party. The phonograpic declaimers that spouted oily promises to the people of ihe county are objects of our pity. Poor fellows, they exposed their ignorance and are the laughing stock of the best part of the republican

party. Thus they have their reward here. These are the guide-boards that point strangers to the humorous land. This defeat is not our Waterloo but our Bull Run. That is, it is the defeat that goes before eventual triumph. We can hear, as it were, the plandits of the people in* the future, celebrating the victory that will be ours if we faint not. Defeat is not annihilation. Defeat is the course of study laid down for the heroes. Defeat should be the dynamo that generates ambition. HANGING GROVE. .

Jacks, to-morrow, Sunday, at 12:30 p. m, The Magic Picture. Here is a curious little picture that will puzzle some of the chicks. It is what is culled an optical illusion. When you first glance at it, you will see an ordinary flight of steps, with nothing strange about them. But if you look at the steps for some time you will find that they suddenly seem to turn upside down, and what was formerly the top surface of each becomes as if by magic the underneath surface. It

TURN IT AROUND.

may take you some little time to see this change, and should you be unable to see it there is another curious thing about the picture which we would like to mention. If you take the picture and look at it upside down, you will find tike steps remain unaltered and appear exactly the same as they did when you held it the right way up. Tho Top of the Plano. It seems to l>e the custom to ar* range a miscellaneous collection of photographs and bric-a-brac on top of the piano, making sort of a display shelf of the noble instrument. We wouldn’t think of putting fancy articles on top of the stove if it had no firo— not unless it was entirely disguised, for a stove is a stove. To be sure, we don’t build fires in a piano, but we mean to put life into it when touching it, and we want to be free to open the top whenever we feel like it. Why not keep it just a musical instrument and not put anything on it? The simple, bare surface will grow restful to the eyes and will suggest sweet music’s shrino.—M usicia n. Oven Temperature For Cake. The correct temperature of tho oven for various cake mixtures is often a vexed question for the amateur cook. A cake which is made with butter needs a moderate oven; a cake made without butter wants a quick oven. For small cakes and cookies the oven should be moderately quick. Cakes that have an admixture of molasses burn more easily than others and should be watched closely. They require a moderate oven. If the coko browns quickly after going into the oven, there is too much heat. Remove a lid from the top of the Btove or put into the oven a dish containing cold water. Physicians Prescribe It Many broad minded physician* prescribe Foley's Honey and Tar, as tbey have never found so safe and reliable a remedy for throat and lung troubles as this great medicine.

DOWN ON THE UNION

Miners’ Organii’.tion Is a Thorn in Sides of the Coal Barons. MORE REPLIES MADE PUBLIC Presidents Truesdale, Olyphant and Fowler Give Their Views to Strike Commission. Washington. Nov. 12. - -The reply for tip- Delaware -and' Laclitwanna company to President Mitchell's statement to the e' tliraelte coal strike commission has Wen made public. It is. signed by \v’. H l’ntcsulale, president Df the c< ■ . r. !-.<> pays that tim company :■ .vim :'A,.;:i.v-iive collierioa and employes 12,:i*,i) workmen In this I branch oi its business. Mr. Trues- | dale, like Mr. Baer, objects to making Lllit' recognition..of U>■ union on..- of the | issues to be considered by the commission,' saying that in the'pro posit ion made by the company for arbitration one of the express 'editions was that “the Hr.dings dTIUc < ounhissdun should govern the conditions of employment j between it and its employes.” He gilds: "This company unequivocally asserts that it will under no condition recognize or enter into any agreement with the association known as the United Mine Workers of America or any branch thereof. Nor will it permit said association or its officers to dictate the terms arm conditions under which it shall conduct its busness.”

Eighty l*er Cent. Opposed Strike. Referring to the recent strike, Mr. Truesdale says that he is reliably Informed that 80 per cent, of its employes were opposed to the strike, but were forced to enter upon it by a majority vote of the mine workers in their fields. Mr. Truesdale follows closely the lines of Mr. Baer’s argument as to the dissimilarity between the work in the anthracite mines and that in bituminous mines. He declares that it is impossible to adopt a uniform rate to be paid to the miner, for a unit of coal mined at all mines. The declaration is also made that tho anthracite miners as a rule do not work as many hours a day as do the bituminous miners, and the opinion is advanced that if the wages of the are thracite miners had been less than that of other working men they would have lound employment elsewhere, which they did not do. He says that: “Prior to the introduction of agitators and mischief-makers the anthracite workers were on an average as properous, comfortable and contented as any body of workers in similar emplyment in this country.” The wages, it is added, are such that frugal employes have saved a substantial amount every year. Reply of President Olyphant. President Olyphant of the Delaware and Hudson company, in his reply, declares that the wages paid by his company are just and adequate. 110 also says that “those of its employes who perform contract or piece work as n matter of their own volition work only about six hours a day and take numerous holidays, without the consent or approval of this resitondent, | and their earnings, by hours of actual j work are, tuerefore, much higher than those in any similar employment” President Olyphant also takes exception to the proposition to arbitrate' the question of the recognition of the miners' union. This position is placed on the ground that the organization ; seeks to control the entire fuel supply of the country: that as the union |ls unincorporated it is Incapable of 1 making a binding contract, and that the association has shown Its Irtnbllj ity to control its own members. He

says his company has no desire to discriminate against members of the union. | Ft* Their Ow n Hours of Labor. '* President T. P. Fowler speaks for the Scranton company and the Elk Ilill Coal and Iron company, lie mssorts that If the average wage earned by the anthracite piece workers is lose than that paid to workers in other employment It is because "they tlx their own hours of labor and the amount of their earnings without any regard to the interests or wishes of their employers and in total disregard of the earnings and welfare of every other class of employes.” lie declares that the men in the mines do not wot k to exceed four or live hours a day. All other charges made by Mr. Mitchell are combatted and on the question of miners’ unions Mr. Fowler says: “We deny the agreements between employers and employes through workingmen's organizations are hen»dal and successful in the bituminous coal fields or elsewhere, ami assert that any such agreement as a method of regulating production would be and Is Injurious to the host Interests of the public
