BIG SOFT COAL TRUST FORMED

All Eastesn and Western Mines Combined Under One Management. MORGAN BACK OF SCHEME Indiana ard Illinois Soft Coal Plants Will Be Forced Into the Combine. Chicago, May 23 Negotiations which, if completed, will combine all the soft coal "mines of Pennsylvania, "West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois under the management of a single corporation, with a capital approximat ing 300.000,000, are under way in Chicago. J. Pierpont Morgan the organizer of the anthracite coal trust, is said to be the financial power behind the bituminous coal trust in process of formation and Jahn S. Bays of Sullivan, Ind., is carrying on the negotiations for the purchase of the Illinois and Indiana mines. Operations are being quietly secured at prices which it is thought will be acceptable to the promoters of the trust. The plan it eludes 117 mines in Indiana, and 150 mines in Illinois, practically all of the productive mines in the two States. - The capital for the proposed deal is in New York, awaiting consumation of the plans. The main offices of the largest companies operating in Illinois and Indiana are in Chicago. A large part of the product of the mines of the two States is used for the hörne market, and the remainder is distributed largely from Chicago . Accordingly th'is city is the logical point for the vi orrntir ? nn n Vvö fHffoA mif O n rl Mr. Bays has spent much of his time here recently. The soft coal trust is already a reality and the present negotiation is merely an attempt to eliminate the competition of the Illinois and Indiana mines and give the trust a monopoly of the trade in the eastern half of the United States, with the exception of the section supplied by the Tennessee mines. The trust was formed recently by the combina tion of the Pittsburg Coal company, the Fairmont Coal company, and the Hocking Valley Coal company, with a capital of $150,000,000. The Pittsburg Coal company owns practically all the great mines of Pennsylvania and owns railroads connecting the mines v;ith the market centers for coal. The .Fairmont Coal company controls the mines of West Virginia, and the Hocking Va ley Coal company recently gained control of the properties of the Sunday Creek company and other companies in the Hocking Valley district in Ohio, with railroad connections with Cleveland and extensive docks at that city. - . The object of these compre hensive preparations to compete with Indiana and Illinois com panies for the control of the soft coal trade of the northwestern states, is said to be to force the Illinois and Indiana companies to come into the trust on a valuation which would suit the truat pro moters. Indiana and Illinois were included in the " ordinal plans of the combination and op tions were secured a year ago on all the mines. These options were secured in the names of tmstees, and the promoters of the trust did - not divulge who their backers wero, but it was generally considered among the mine owuers that unlimited cap ital; was behind the' movement and a high' price was placed on the majority of the properties in consequence. : The options ran until the last o.' February of this year, but when the trust, promoters figured on them they, found the prices too high to admit of the purchase of the mines. Efforts to get a scaling of prices proved unavailing. The promoters allowed their options in Illinois and Indiana to expire and devoted their energies to a combination of the mining interests " ot Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. John S. Bays, wlio is a lawyer,

represented the trust interests in the negotiation of a year ago. He is the moving spirit, in the present negotiation, although disclaiming any connection with the trust. He is negotiating for the options in his own name, and the transfers of property will be made to him for the corporation, in case the deal goes through. Some of the mines, it is said, will be brought outright and the acquirement of the proper-

tipe nf thp lnrrror frnmnanips mi u vi Ja i . will be accomplished by the exchange of stock in the corporation. The companies will maintain their individualities and will continue to operate their mines subject to the dictates of the corporation, being represent ed in the management of the cor theboard of directporation on ors. The mines included in the deal are situated in twelve counties in . 1 . T 3 .1 .

They produce 6,000,000 tons of coal a year, of which 4,000,000 tons are shipped to Chicago. .The value of their output is about 815,000,000 a year and the amount of capital necessary to combine them is estimated at 850,000,000. The mines of Illinois are about double the capacity of the Indiana mines, and 8100.000,000 would be necessary to effect their combination. Accordingly, with the 8150,000,000 capitalization of the eastern consolidation, the trust plans include a combined capitalization of 300,000,000.

St. Paul, Minn., May 24 Ac cording to reports of traveling men who have come in from the northeastern part of Iowa, the storm and cloudburst which have wrecked ' Decorah and other towns, was the worst ever known in that section of the state. The damage ät Decorah alone is esti mated at 1600,000, while reports from otfyer parts of the affected district are expected to bring the total up to at least $1,500,000. Three lives were lost at Decorah. Telegraphic and railroad communication with the town is still cut off. The water came all in a rush ere having been a cloudburst a few miles north of there. De nr.nU nnnA in corah is located in a valley, and J the water rushed onto the town at a terrific speed.

It is estimated by the people living in the stricken district that between 2 and 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, when the cloudburst swept over, not less than

six inches of water fell. The water formed in the low places

until all barriers were overflowed and then rushed down the creek beds and ravines, pourlug a great torrent into a stream called the Dry Rock, running through Decorah and other good-sized towns in the vicinity. The downpour was appalling in' its volume and tropical in its violence. All running streams were out of their banks within thirty minutes. Streets became impassable, and walking was nearly impossible owing to the gale of wind which accompanied the storm.

Yesterday was one of the dullest days around the miners' strike headquarters that has experienced since the suspension began a week ago last Monday. The three district presidents Messrs. Nicholls, Duffy and Fahey held a long conference with National President Mitchell in the morning after which the three district leaders departed for their homes. As in the case of most of the conferences that have been held the nature of the discussion was not divulged. President Mitchell had no information .to impart upon any phase of the situation. He said he had received no communications or overtures from any one that could in any way be construed as bearin on a settlement of the difficulty.

AFTER GRIP MAT ?

. oruÄ t t -J TTTi " The Perilous Period Which Follows an Attack of this Mysterious Malady. . , ? Grip is bad enough with its aching bones, inflamed eyes, painful back, and fever. But its after effects are perhaps even more to be dreaded than the misery attendent on an attack of the disease itself. The person who comes safely through an attack of grip, man, woman, or child, is left in a condition of peculiar debility and prostration from which it is difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough may find , speedy termination in lung disease. Ordinary exposure results in pneumonia. The disease seems to deplete the vitality, undermine the strength, and affect the balance of the mind. It is one of -the sad experiences of the grip, that the convalescent supposed to be rallying well, has been found in a condition of complete collapse. As a result of the grip the lungs, and other organs of respiration seem peculiarly liable to be affected and consumption may easily be the after consequence of the malady. It needs no argument therefore to urge the building up of the system weakened by grip to enable it to resist and throw off these sequent dis eases which so frequently prove fatal. In actual test Dr. Pierce s Golden Med ical Discovery has proved itself pecu liarly valuable not only in the quick cure of the disease but also in rebuilding the body which grip has undermined and in curing diseases which are prone to fasten on the enfeebled system. It strengthens the stomach, heals the lungs, and purifies the blood. It puts the whole body on a plane of sound and vigorous health. A VICTIM OF GRIP. "Two years ago this month I had an attack, of grip which left my throat and lungs in bad condition," writes Mrs. M. K. Stewart, of Center, Chickasaw Nation, Ind. Ter. The doctor said I had disease of the bronchial tubes, but confessed to my husband (unkno'.vn to me), that I had consumption 111 the first stage and could never be cured : but, thanks to God and to Dr. Pierce, to-day I feel well, and am better now than I have been for many years. can do as much work now as any woman of my age, which is forty-sever.. One of my neighbor women advised rue to get Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, so I sent and got it, and then I was not satisted with it alone, hardly oelieving it would cure me, so I wrote to Dr. Pierce and gave him my symptoms. He replied that I had catarrh of the head, extending to my lungs, and told what would cure me. I took his advice never neglected it for anything. I have taken seventeen bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' eight vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and ten packages of Dr. VOLCANO IN WISCONSIN Thunder Mountain Emitting Smoke and RumbJing. MiLWAUKEE,May 6 Reports reached Milwaukee last night from Eagle River, Florence, Appletou,' and from Iron Mountain, Mich., of the startling behavior of Thunder mountain, the high est point of Jand in northern Wisconsin, which is reported to be belching smoke and rumbling at an alarming rate. It is known that at Green Bay. sixty miles away, a hot bowlder fell on a street corner, and was still red hot when morning came. The light of the mountain, it is said, can be seen for miles. The reports come from localities seventy miles apart. According to the reports, the few homesteaders are hurrying to the settlements in alarm. The strange actions of the mountain have caused a panic in the two surrounding counties. Tnunder mountain is more of a plateau than a hill, and in the center of the mountain in a great peat bog and swamp. The mountain has been seldom visited, for it is almost a solid mass of rock, with vegetation at the top, and with a cedar swamp surrounding it. State geologi cal authorities have' declared it to be of volcanic origin. According to last night's reports, over 100 settlers have reached Eagle river Fiery red sunsets and a succession of severe thunder 'storms near the mountain have added to the general consternation.

Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I do not regret that I spent the money paid for the medicires. I have pained twenty-four pounds.

Indeed Dr. Pierce's medicines have done wonders for me. It is no use for me to trv to tdi mv fiis n would taw --.J . w - j 1 - time and space, but I was a skeleton and so poor and so down-hearted I could not look at one of my little ones without shedding tears, thinking that they would soon be lelt wiuiout a moiner." HOW STRENGTH IS RESTORED. What makes me strong ? Ask yourself that question and you will find that the answer will be, I am made strong hy food. How does food make us strong? By passing through the processes cu digestion and being converted into nutrition, which, in theform of blocx? nourishes tho body. So that while blood is the life of the body, food is the life of the blood. Every red vein and artery of the body leads like a scarlet clue back to the stomach. If the body is weak, therefore, we must look to the stomach first for the cause of weakness, and then to the blood. The same result of phys ical . weakness will follow the opening of an artery, or starvation. You may bleed - to death or starve to death. This is so well understood in medical practice that the first consideration of the physician in investigating disease is the condition of the stomah. If the stomach, is weak the body can't be strong. If the stomach it weak, that weakness will surely find an echo in some other organ depend ent on the stomach for its nutrition such as heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc If vou starve a mother. you starv e the child at her breast. If you starve the stomach, you starve the organs it feeds. But starvation of the body can be accomplished even where food is plentifully supplied, because if the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, then the food will not be converted into nutrition or only partly so, and the body inadequately nourished will begin to grow weak. The first attempt, then, in dealif.g with a weak body is to nourish it into strength. The general method of this attempt is to try and bring the food down to the level of the weak stomach. This is done by the use of prepared foods, cod liver oil, and its emulsions. But this doesn't cure the disease of the stomach or put the organs of nutrition into a condition to build up the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery deals directly with the stomach and blood. It seeks to bring the stomach up to the level of strong, healthful food, when this is done the body gains in strength, puts on flesh, throws off disease, and enters on a new life. That these results follow the use of ' Golden Medical Discovery is proved by the testimony of thousands of weak, rundown, men and women and by their cure, by the use of 'Discovery, of diseases of lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, etc., which originated in the disease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. "Three years ago I had the grip," writes Mrs. Tillie Linney, of Gravel Switch, Marion Co., Ky. "It settled on my lungs, and the doctor said I had consumption. I took six bottles of Golden Medical Discovery,' and am thankful to say I am entirely well." Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free.
