Commissions First GEORGE STOCK. Commissioner Second District, JOSEPH COAU. "Nothing is more natural than that a coal famine should help the Standard Oil company. It is an ill wind that does not blow business in Mr. Rockdirection. "Mine coal!" is the command of the people to the operators, and they must be very insenfible to public opinion indeed, if they fail to notice the business crack to it. The anthracite strike is the only cloud in the industrial sky at the present time. . The strike is a game of freeze-out between two contending elements which have no regard for the countrv at large. In his address at the cornerstone laying of a new customhouse in New York Secretary Shaw said: "Since I860 our population has multiplied two and one-half, while our foreign commerce has multiplied by three and one-third." The figures are accessible to everybody, but this was a new way of presenting them. The Standard Oil Company has advanced the price of refined oil about 6 per cent., doubtless because of the increased use of oil for fuel on account of the high price of coal. There is nothing in the production of crude petroleum to warrant this increase, but the Standard monopoly could not resist the temptation to wring a little more money out of the hands of consumers. There is no duty on refined oil or petroleum. Mitchell has declined the request of President Roosevelt and has placed his organization in almost the same position that the operators placed themselves. There is not much difrerence now in the attitude of the parties to the contest, both are de fiant, obstinate, devoted to self-inter est alone. The danger to Mr. Mitch ell is that public sympathy will now again be changed by public suffering, and he will lose all that he gained. The parties directly involved in the coal strike in Pennsylvania are the coal barons and their stockholders on the one hand and John Mitchell and bis lieutenants on the other. The real sufferers are at least fifty millions of people. The rights of the two firstnamed parties are freely discussed, prdl and con, but the rights of the fifty millions of people the great publicare almost wholly ignored. That makes the situation a very peculiar one. Senator Hanna spoke for the first time in West Virginia, at Wheeling, on Monday evening. His audience was composed largely of workingmen, and he said: -'I have great faith in the American workingman. He is honestly open to conviction; but I do not think that many campaign speeches are necessary for him at this period." The Ohio senator is evidently of opinion that workingmen can reason, and that the lesson of prosperity from 1896 to the present time- has net been altogether lost upon them.

President Roosevelt will appoint a commission to Inquire into the strike conditions, no matter if the parties refuse to submit to his requests.

Eight members of the Cuban Ilouse of representatives have united in the formation of a new political party, one of whose chief tenets will be opposition to the government. They should call it the democratic party. As long as we continue tb buy less and sell more abroad we will continue to prosper, but when the tirfe of trade turns, and it will turn under a free trade policy just as sure as night succeeds day, look out for trouble. Mr. George W. Spahr has been elected national commander of the Union Veterans' league, and Frank Martin has been elected commander-in-cheif of the Sons of Veterans. Both positions are well conferred. A host still attends the Grand Army reunions in spite of the fact that 40,000 old soldiers drop annually from the roll of the living. The pathetic spectacle of the last muster is still, happily, a long way m the future. Uncle Sam is being pinched by the coal scarcity like the most humble taxpayer. The officers charged with the duty of keeping warm the big government buildings throughout the United States are in a quandary over the coal problem. Senator Lodge says of the democratic party, in connection with reciprocity: "They had the presidency eight years, and never moved hand or foot to open reciprocity negotiations with Canada. They made a poor fishery treaty and that is all thev ever did." The margin between democratic noise and performance is always a paramount fact. The secretary of the treasury has mr.de an important ruling in regard to the free entry of foreign purphased articles brought by returning residents of the United States, in which it is held that "such articles, if valued in the aggregate at $100 or less and intended for his or her use, and if the character and quantity of the articles are not such as'to raise the presump tion that they are in the nature of merchandise and intended for sale, and articles within this limitation of value brought by the head of a family as presents rr his wife and children, may be admitted to entry free of duty." Secretary Hay's protest against the anti-Jewish crusade in Roumania may or may not have a good effect. The United States was not one of the signers of the treaty of Berlin which created Roumania and forbade the race discrimination which that coun try is perpetrating. But England Is on America's side in this issue, and she was one of the signers. England will bring the matter before the other signatory powers, but there is a chance that some of them will take the view that the Turkish diplomat has already expressed that it is none of the United States' business. How ever, the United States has called the world's attention to an abuse which ought to be eradicated. A dispatch from Scranton of Oct. 6 said it was estimated that not less than 6,000 strikers had left the coal region that day to take employment in the iron mills in western Pennsy lvania and in parts of Ohio. Another party, it is said, had left for western New York, where they were offered employment. Several prominent papers have remarked that' this a source of weakness which the miners had net thought of. These papers are mistaken. This is a source of strength which will do more to give workingmen good wages than anything they have ever done. "When workingmen show that they are independent and seek work in some other line of business when their wages are not satisfactory they will no longer be the slaves or tools of anybody. A novel experiment is being tried by the McCormick Harvesting MaChine company of Chicago with a view of solving the serious problem of the relations of capital and labor. A young woman of extended experience in sociological work has been employed solely to look after the welfare of the army of employes in the works. Their comfort during working hourf, their care in sickness, and their pleasures all come under her attention. Sugges tions which she makes to the officials of the company are taken up for consideration and, in a large number of cases, adopted. The success of the young woman's work is said to be shown best by the freedom from labor disturbances which the big harvester plant has enjoyed since she entered on her novel duties. Long and bitter strikes have taken place there in the past, but at present, it is said, the company is more popular witn its employs than ever before. If it wasn't popular, if it wasn't loved by the people why do dealers say? We have something, just as good as the Madison Medicine Go's. Rocky Mountain Tea. Think it ovex. 35 cents. J.W.Hess.

SAFE BLOWERS AT BURKET.

Robers Bind and Gag Homer McGinley. Crack the Safe and Get $150 in Cash. Three masked men forced an entrance to the general store of W. E. Davis at Burket, Kosciusko county, at 1 o'clock Thursday morning, reached the bedside of Homer McGinley, who was sleeping in the store, before he was aware of their presence, bound and gauged him, and blew open the safe with nitroglycerine, securing $150 in cash and several dollars' worth of notes. The robbers entered the store by forcing the front door. They proceeded to the rxm of McGinley and got within perhaps four feet of the sleeping . man before they apprised him of their presence. The leveled revolvers at McGinley 's head and the leader, in a gruff voice, commanded him to get up as quickly as possible and open the safe for them, as they felt sure he knew the combination. They threatened McGinley 's life, but he repeatedly declined to accommodate the robbers. The gang thereupon decided to bind and gag him. which they did. While one of the men held the muzzle of his revolver ot McGinley 's head the other two did the work, fastening Mr. Davis' employe to the bed in such a way that he could not move. The robbers then turned their attention to the safe. After drilling a hole about the lock the quantity of nitroglycerine which they used was not sufficient to force the door and the robbers tried the second time. In this effort, they were successful. In fact, the whole front of the safe was blown to pieces. The robbers then hastily secured the money and notes and made good their escape without having been seen by any of the Burket people except McGinley whom they left bound in the store. General Chaffee's Home Coming. Major General Adna R. Chaffee relinquished command of the army in the Philippines Oct. 2, and sailed on the same day for San Francisco. He was escorted to the steamer by a procession which included all the general officers now in Manila, hundreds of other army officers, Governor Taft, the members of the Philippine commission, and a great crowd of civilians, including Americans and Filipinos. He will be received with great enthusiasm in San Francisco, and high nonors will be paid him. Washington, 2sew York, Chicago and other cities will tender him receptions. General Chaffee is an ideal American soldier. His training has all been in the field, He volunteered as a private in the regular army soon after Fort Sumpter was fired on in 1861. He saw hard service in the civil war and hard service in the Indian war. He distinguished himself in both, and as the commander of the column that attacked Ely Caney in front of Santiago, in the Cuban war, he won special distinction. In the reorganization of Cuba he served as chief of staff to the military governor, which means that he was the active executive officer in charge of affairs. His services in the field, his great success as an administrative officer, led to his appintment to command the American troops for the reliet of the besieged legations in Pekin in 1900. There, as In the ealler stages of his caraer, he was first and last the man of action. While others talked and conferred he dM something and his plain declaration, when the European commanders had decided that an immediate march on Pekin was impracticable to the effect that his orders were to go forward and he was going forward, undoubtedly prevented delay in the attack on Pekin and saved the legations. Fancy Prices for Hogs. Lincoln Lukens, of Disco, Wabash county, had a sale of fine bogs Thursday. Monroe Steiner, David and Leioy Staley were among those from this county who attended. An idea of what the finest hogs sell for may be obtained from thß following prices: One sow, Daisy McKinley sold for $170;Faultles Perfection brought $200 Luken's Best $142.50; Maid's Chief $155; Gold Queen $140; Lady Wilkes $150; Golden Gem $110; Perfection $100. Cniefess Tecumsch with seven pigs two weeks old brought $300 and many other hogs were sold at prices ranging from $50 to $100. Mr. Lukens has one male hog that he values at $2100, and he refused an offer of $125 for a male pig four weeks old. Golden Iule Jones. When Mayor Jones, of Toledo, went away on his . vacation last summer a good many of his friends feared that bis health was seriously undermined. Even when he returned very much improved in outward appearance at least, these solicitous persons were not fully reassured. The mayor attended a big municipal outing party the other Sunday, however, and showed evidence of restored vigor by standing on his head and lr ter running a footrace and easily beating his competitors.

Meat Tariff Rouses Germany. Pork is the topic of the hour, in

Germany. The refusal of the imper ial authorties to listen to protests against the exclusion of foreign hogs has temporarily united all sections of the population. The antigovernment newspapers treat the meat question with seriousness as a great political Issue. The people make it a general topic of conversation at home and in business. The variety theaters resound with songs and jokes about pigs and even preachers refer to the subject in their sermons. Meanwhile the social democrats are overjoyed at the prospect that the government's attitude toward the principal food of the working classes will give socialism the greatest impetus it has yet experienced as soon as the people are able to register their opinions oy means ot the ballot box. The leaders of the party predict that the present socialist strength in the reichstag of fifty-one members will be at least doubled at the next elections. Forbids Faith Cure in Indiana, By unanimous decision of the Indiana supreme court the law of 1901 defining the practice will be declared constitutional, and the powers of the courts to enforce it against all persons who attempt to practice without a license was fully sustained. The case came up from Lawrence county, where Frof. George Parks was arrested for practicing without a license, having treated a boy who is a cripple by what is kcown as magnetic healing. The court upholds only reputable schools of medicine, and decides against the practice of Christian Science or healing by faith. The state board of examination and registration will proceed at once against that class under the decision. Miners Ail Support Mitchell. Every local union of the United Mine Workers in the anthracite belt has determined to support President Mitchell's declaration that all the troops in the United States could not force the miners to return to work. Resolutions were passed expressing a determination to remain on strike until the operators grant the concessions demanded. Unless President Mitchell's hasty visit to New York bear fruit, the end of the anthracite strike is a long way off, and the prospect of sufficient coal being mined to supply the needs of the country is very poor. While the reports from the local unions were pouring into his office, President Mitchell dictated a letter to President Roosevelt, in which he gave his answer to the proposition that the strikers return to work and trust tobaje their condition improved through an investigation. What the answer of the miners' chief is. he refused to divulge, but, with the replies of the coal unions piled around him. it is difficult to conceive that he could do otherwise than respectfully decline the proposition. It is believed that he told the President that the strikers were now in such a position that they felt assured of victory, and that they would not be able to retreat from the position they now hold without fatal loss to themselves, Jockeys Salaries. One of the features of the season of 1902, the most notable in the history of the American turf, has been the scarcity of good jockeys. The principal cause of this scarcity is the heavy draft made on the American rider by England and the continent. The "American invasion," so much in evidence of late, has been especially noticeable in the matter of jockeys. The law of supply and demand obtains upon the turf as elsewhere, and astonishing salaries have been paid star American jockeys, both here and abroad. The word "astonishing" is used advisedly. The salaries of statesmen, railroad officials, judges, and even trust magnates, pale into insignificance in comparison with the amounts received by some of these midgets, many of them mere boys in their teens. The case of Lucien Appleby Lyne affords an example and also a basis of computation. Lyne, who won both the American Derby and the Futurity this year for John A. Drake,- of Chicago, is paid $10,000 by his employer for first call on his services. A Chicago firm controls his services when he is not required by Drake, at a cost of $8,000. It is estimated that he has made $15,000 more this year m riding fees, or $33,000 in all. Next year Lyne will ride in England for James R. Keen at a salary of $20,000. How to Vote as You Wish. To vote a straight republican ticket make a cross within the circle containing the eagle and no where else on your ticket: . To vote a straight democratic ticket, vou simply make a cross within the circle containing the rooster. To vote a mixed ticket, you make no cross within the circle, but make a cross in the square at the left of each name on the ticket for whom you wish to vote and make no mark anywhere else on your ticket. Every voter who follows the above simple directions can vote as he pleases and his yote will be counted.

A Righteous Decision. The Supreme Court of Indiana has just upheld the act of 1901 defining the practice of medicine, and the effect of the decision is to make illegal the practice of magnetic healing by one who has not the usual physician's license. The court does not discriminate against magnetic healing, but only holds that if it is to be practiced it must be by men who are not "empirics." That the whole subject of the public health is within the scope of the legislative authority can hardly at this late day, be denied. It is all well enough to say that the individual ought to be left to himself in the matter of medical treatment, but the fact is that there is no subject in regard to which people are so credulous and so easily fooled by frauds and pretenders. And as the state has a direct and vital interest in the health and well-being of its citizens, it does well to intervene to protect them in this regard against even their own folly. The main proposition is thus stated by the court: For hundreds of years, the matter of the conservation of the public health has been a leading matter of police control. If a man holds himself out to the comunity as a person skilled in the science of healing and on that ground seeks the opportunity to ex

ercise the skill he claims to possess, his business becomes impressed with a public character, and he is, therefore subject to reasonable regulations In its prosecution." The mere fact that a "healer" does not call himself a physician, ought not, if he practices healing, to relieve him of the necessity of having a physician's license. This Is a mere evasion of the law which ought not to be tolerated. Indiana is full of socalled healers, many of whom are gnorant and unskilled even in the work that they try to do. It is thought that as a result of the decision of yesterday, many of them mav be driven out of business. We hope so. Indianapolis News. Teachers in Session. The Northern Indiana Superintend ents' club was in session in this city Friday and today, This club is an association of superintendents of city schools and is limited in number to twenty members. The meetings are spent in discussions of questions of school management. Friday was .ven to visiting the Pivmouth schools. The principal questions discussed were: The "Plymouth Schools," "De partment Instruction." Home Study," "The Arithmetic Textbook." "Unprofessional designs upon the Teachers' Position," "Furnishing Working Plans to Teachers, " "Truan cy Legislation," and "TheCoujty In stitute." The opinion cf the club upon the latter question is embodied in the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: We recognize that the county Institutes of Indiana for many years have exerted a great force in uplifting the teaching in our schools; and we believe that institutes, properly and wisely conducted, must ever be a most potent factor in securing educational growth; but when we count the great cost of our present institute system and the average quality of instruction given, together with the great professional needs of the teachers, we believe the present law should be amended so that the management of the institute should be placed in charge of persons of high professional ability and the instruction be given only by licensed institute workers. The members present were: A. H. Douglas, Logansport; J. W. Hamilton, Monticello; W. II. Hershman, Hammond; W. A. Willis, Crawfordsville; Calvin Moore, South Bend; B. F. Moore, Marion T. A. Mott, Richmond; W. n. Sanders, Rensselaer; J. F. Scull, Rochester; J. X. Study, Fort Wayne; D. W.Thomas, Elkhart; J. A. Wood, Laporte, and R. A. Chase, Plymouth. Solution of Coal Problem. The New York Commercial says: At Beaverton in Northern Ontario another peat machine is in operation, consisting of a press, dryer and spreader a most ingenious machine ?or it cuts, pulverizes and spreads the material at the same time. This reduces the moisture 50 per cent, and the balance is taken out by the drying process. This plant has a capacity of 20 tons a day, and the demand for the fuel is such that it brings $3.25 a ton at the plant and is retailed at Toronto at $4.25. All the Canada peat plants, old and new, are now running night and day, it is said, to fill orders. A Common Experience. Scene I. Mr. Johnson is obliged to give up wrok, remain in the house and take care of himself on account of a dreadful scrofula sore on one of his limbs. Scene II. Mr. Johnson reads a testimonial which tells of scrofulous troubles cured by Hood's Saisaparilla. He resolves to try it. Scene III. Mr, Johnson has taken six. bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla.

BOOKS OF the: HOUR MISS RIVES' TRIUMPH, mm courageous A Story of the Declaration of Independence

The magnificent success of Miss Rives' new novel, "Hearts Courageous," must be ascribed to much more than the inspiring title or the beautiful binding and illustrations. The demand, which increases every week, undoubtedly is due to the fact that every reader praises and recommends it. The reviewers hail it as a great American story, wherein is found skillful character study, unusual literary merit and true historical atmosphere.
