WHERE IS DUDLEY AT?

oheriftalty of Sullivan County Seems To Be a Matter of Much Uncertainty. GIBOUIT JUDGE STANDS BY DUDLEY County Commissioners Hit Him Hard A One More Ghoul Given Away ', by Cantrell State Notes. Sullivan, Ind., Jan. 6. That the authorities and people of Sullivan county means to recognize John F. Dudley as sheriff of Sullivan county was indicated yesterday morning when the January term of the circuit court opened and Judge A. 3. Harris recognized Dudley as sheriff. Dudley Is performing the usual functions of the sheriff about the court But his case received a body blow when the coun ty commissioners held a session and turned down his claims for $200, due him as' sheriff of the county. While the commissioners have not said what they will do in allowing claims to the sheriff. It is understood that they will not recognize Dudley as that officer. Dudley has not filed his bond for his new term. ' ' Thing Ar Pretty Badly Mixed. ; Notwithstanding that the county clerk has recognized Maxwell as sher iff by turning over to him papers to be served by the "sheriff," Maxwell Is not certain whether he Is coroner or sheriff. The rase became more tangled thaj ever by the court recognizing Dudley and commissioners turning him down. People of the county can not understand how one man Is to act as sheriff of the court and another as the one who Is to. obey Instructions from the clerk of that court County Clerk Robert Taylor said that he turned the document from Indianapolis over to Maxwell, but was careful to give a duplicate of it to Dudley. From this action a good many people think he Is recognizing both men as sheriff of the county:;1 ... , Governor G1ts Up the Cmmw Indianapolis, Jan. 6. Governor Durbin was not greatly surprised at the Information that Dudley had been recognized as sheriff by the Judge of the circuit conrt. but he indicated that the Dudley matter is a closed Incident .with him so far as the present Is con cerned. "It looks a little as If they were trying to draw me into a suit to test the law," he mused. "However, I think it is up to Sullivan county to dispose of the matter at this time." At torney. General Miller Is not preparing to take any action now. ANOTHER GHOUL IS CAPTURED Cantrell, the KegTo Body-Snatcher at ladt aaapelU, PnU Mike Foley In a Prison Cell. Indianapolis, Jan.

He said he would come again last Sunday afternoon, and detectives were waiting for him. He was given .admittance and asked Cantrell if the body of his aunt had been stolen from Its grave.

LAND lloi M ERIN

Conference of Landlords and Tenants Reports That th Time Is Ripe. OHAUOE TO SETTLE THE TROUBLE Looks Like tbe'Irisb Question May Soon Disappear from British Politic. London, Jan. 5. The Irish land con ference has Isiued a voluminous report of Its deliberations. In which it is de clared that the only satisfactory settle ment of the existing land question Is the substitution of an occupying or proprietary ownership o? land for the existing dual ownership. As the pro cess of direct state Interference in purchase and re-sale would be generally tedious and unsatisfactory, therefore, except where owners or half oceupyers so desire, and except in those districts under the congested districts board, the report recommends that the settlement should be made between the owner and the occupier, subject to the necessary investigation by the state as to title, rental and security. What Should Be Paid Landlords, The report emphasizes the desirabili ty of Inducing landlords to continue to reside in Ireland, and with this pur pose in view it says an equitable price should be paid to owners, based upon income, and that provision ought to be made for the resale to owners of mansion houses and demesnes. The purchase price should either be assurance by the state of such income, or the payment of a capital sum producing it at 3 per cent or 3 per cent If guaranteed by the state tenants' repayments should be extended for a term of years, securing a, reduction of from 15 to 25 per cent on rents. Time to Settle It Is Now. To do this may involve some assist ance from the state beyond the use of Its credit, and the report considers that such assistance would be justified fully In the future welfare of Ireland and the settlement of this vexed problem. The report offers no definite financial proposals, but it considers that an unexampled opportunity exists at the present moment to deal with this question successfully. It declares also .that the solution of theland question should be accompanied by a settlement of the evicted tenanis' question upon an equit able basis. Going; to Consult Roosevelt. Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary of the conference, left here yesterday for the United States. He goes to ascertain the views of President Roosevelt and other prominent United Statesans on the land question. In an Interview before leaving Captain Shawe-Taylor said: "The government now for the first time has before It a practical solution of this question acceptable to both land owners and occupiers; It would be a national calamity If, while truce exists between the two parties, this unique opportunity is allowed to pass." DESTITUTIOH AT ST. LOUIS Family Found, with Husband and Child Dead, and the Others Starrlas; to Death. St Louis, Jan. 5. Sick and tossing on a miserable couch in a povertystricken abode, and surrounded by her five young children, the police Satur day found Mrs. Nancy McKan slowly dying from hunger. The dead bodies of her husband and 16 months old grandson lay in the same room. There was no fire and no food. One of the children lay on the couch with the suffering mother, flushed with fever. The husband had died from con sumption and the infant grandson had succumbed to insufficient nourishment The case was so appalling in its desti tution that the two officers who had accidentally discovered it provided coal and food from their own pockets and then took the opportunity to make a report for speedy charity. Costs the Insurance Companies $150,000. Chicago, Jan. 5.

A man with daughters need not feel ashamed in New Zealand. He's a po litical power, a big man in the district In which he resides. All women over twenty-one years of age can vote, so the man with many daughters often decides a closely contested election. Then, again, women are much sought after matrimonially, for they are outnumbered by the men two to one. There Is no need for a woman becom ing an old maid.

ARKLES'STATEMEHT

Independent Operators in the An thracite Field Present Their Side of the Dispute. THEY CHARGE A BEE AOS OF FAITH Miners Violating an Agreement to Arbitrate Reply to Accusation) Against Them. Bcranton, Pa Jan. 5. The answer of G. B. Markle & Co., independent coal opevators, to the demands of the miners, Is made public. The answer will be submitted to the anthracite strike commission today. It was writ1 ten by John Markle, managing partner of the firm. The statement is In part as follows: "The present firm wai formed on Dec 30, 18S9, for the pur pose of mining coal. The firm employs about 2,400 men, and many of its employes reside in the villages of Freeland, about two miles distant and Ilazleton, about seven miles distant from Jcddo, where the mines are situated. Slakes Some Explanations. "The lessees erected and own all the improvements upon the property, including breakers, stores, shops and tenement houses. From the time of my first connection with the business, in 1SS0 there have always been a resi dent physician and assistant physi cians upon the property until recently, with the exception of a short Interval. The firm selected the head physician, who chose his assistants, and we collected 75 cents a month for the married men and 10 a month for the single men over 21, and the amount collected was paid over to the physician without charge or deduction therefor. This arrangement was not compulsory upon the men or families. , ' Defends the Company Store. "Stores for the sale of general merchandise and of miners supplies have always been maintained upon the property, and have - been and are an accommodation to the men and their families. The men have never been required to deal there. Fy the terms of the coal leases, G. B. Markle & Co. are required to pay all the taxes upon the property. . The taxes paid by the coal operators constitute the largest portion of the taxes collected In the county." HISTORY OF THE RECENT TROUBLES Men Strike In Violation of an Agreement (That Was Mot Complained Of. Continuing, the answer says a. slid ing scale basis of labor had been agreed upon In 1S75, and had' from that time been generally in . force in the Lehigh region. In September, 1S97, a committee of miners presented certain demands to the firm, but did not press them. An agreement was then in existence between the company and men to settle differences by arbitration. Work at the mines continued uninter rupted until the latter part , of 1000, when John MJchell made his headquarters at Hazleton and endeavored to organize the Markle employes. In September, 1000, another list of grievances was furnished the firm, the company's answer including that if the men . were not satisfied with the reply the officials would be willing to arbitrate. The next communication from the men demanded arbitration, but the committee selected by the em ployes reported that the latter had broken their agreement with the com pany by striking before their griev ances had been submitted to arbitra tion. "Between 1900 and 1002 many re quests were made for the correction of alleged grievances, which were all taken up an J considered and acted upon; but neither individually vgr col lectively, orally or In writing, did the men make any complaint in reference to the method of collecting the dues for the doctors; nor was attention called to any defect In respect to un fair treatment at the store; nor as to the size of the cars; nor as to the slope cleaning, or the docking, until April. 1902, and vre had every reason to believe that taken as a whole, the men were entirely satisfied with the conditions of their employment. "In the course of the hearings at Scranton, complaint was made of the size of the cars, but In reality the size has not been changed, as will be proved by the testimony of the build ers. Objection was also made that the full 1) per cent advance was not given. The manner in which the ad vance was computed was repeatedly explained to the men, and it will be shown by the expert accountant that It was correctly calculated." WHI MEN WERE EVICTED With a Statement Relativ to a Case That . Has Caused Mush Sympathy. Referring , to the eviction of certain men Markle says: "As we had not been parties to the correspondence un der which the anthracite strike com mission was appointed and the' strike declared off we were not willing to permit our men to return to worf. without a distinct understanding that they would abide by the award to be made by the commission. Notice was accord Ingly posted that those wishing to secure employment should call at the office- and should bring with them the brass checkr which they had. . "When this notice was . posted we wer informed that some of the. men. objected, upon, the ground that the men should be taken back la a body. and ,the rumor was started to the ef fect that they would be required to sign an Lronclad agreement as a condi tion of going to work. Many of the notices were torn down, and pickets were stationed In the neighborhood of the oQce and along the lines of road to prevent the men from coming to the jflce, where they might have learned the truth and arranged for a resump tion of werk. "Meanwhile I had been Informed that the same men who had been mak Inj troubls during the strike were tak ing a leading part In intimidating and threatening any one coming to the ofCco and returning to werk under tha conditions epeciSed. Por these rea cra, I!-rl3 tzj3 to tad twelve men

evicted Nov. C'last, no attempt having been made to collect the arrears of rents accruing during the strike.

The answer further states that the father of the boy Chippie was killed as a result of his own negligence. He was not .indebted to the firm at the time of his death. His earnings for the previous six months from February to July, inclusive, amounted to $330. Mrs. Chippie paid nothing on account of rent or coal. Attached to the answer are several exhibits, one of which is a statement showing the earnings of certain contract miners during eleven and onehalf months, including eleven of the highest earners and five of the lowest, the highest receiving $1,000 and the lowest ?400.

No reason exists, says a foreign Journal, Why, persons should not keep their beloved ones with them after death, since their bodies can very easily be mummified.

The body Is placed in a boiler which contains chloride of calcium and which is heated to 125 degrees and after remaining there for a certain time Is taken out and steeped for twenty-four hours In a cold solution of sulphate of sodium.

Carping Critics in Bad Taste, When a great corpojation, employ

ing thousands of workmen, devises a carefully matured plan whereby these workmen can acquire aproprietary interest in its works and share in its profits, it is in mighty bad taste for carping critics to cast slurs upon the men who are engaged in a laudable effort to do something of practical benefit to wageworkers, even if the corporation engaged In this under taking be the United States Steel Company. The profit-sharing scheme devised by that corporation may not prove a success, but it certainly is a step in the right direction, and may lead to vastly beneficial results. In common decency criticism should at least be withheld until the scheme shall have had a trial. South Bend Times. To Preserve the Eyesight It is an excellent plan to bathe the eyes with the lids wide open. To do this a bright silver coin should betossed into a bowl of clear cold water. It will of course sink to the bottom, and when the face Is plunged Into the A - water the eyes should be firmly fixed upon the glittering silver bit. Then let the eyes be kept open and the head gently moved from side to side. The men and women who will persist in this daily bath will soon find that their eyes are brighter and stronger and it will preserve the sight beyond what Is supposed to be its alloted' time. A Surprising Statement. A writer in the Southern Workman makes the surprising statement, based on the last census report, than in more than balf of the counties in Virginia over 70 per cent, of the farmers are negroes, and that in thirty-nine coun ties a larger per cent, of the negroes own tneir own farms tnan or wuite farmers. It is true the farms of the negroes arc generally much-smaller than the "plantations" of the whites, but the fact that so large a proportion of the negroes are even small land owners is greatly to their credit. Rates to Be Higher. Freight rates on nearly all cummodi ties transported by Western railroads are to be materially increased during the uext thirty days, says the Chicago Record-Herald. The rates projected will be at least 5 per cent, in all com modity tariffs. The officials of the railroads are actuated largely by the fear that the increased cost of every thing tnat railroads buy will make the maintenance of the present divi dend rates impossible during 1903.

I know from the action of the kidney secretions, which were highly colored and contained sentiment and from their frequency, particulary at night that took my kidnevs was to be attributed the whole cause of the disturbance. That, : combined with severe pain across the loins which prevented me from stooping or doing anything with an average degree of ease, led me to ' consult a doctor. 'He told me I was verging on Bright's disease. Things ran along like this for the last few months until I sent Mrs. Riggens to J. W. Hess' drug store for Doao's Kidney Pills. The treatment positively stopped too frequent action of the kidney secretions and tided me over the last attack of backache.' For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.
