In view of King Edward's stubborn

Ketail trade, to a remarkable de

which give the farmer his ready nash.
When the strawberry money comes In,

For the first time In many years there
la practically do quarantine In the
Southern States against Cuba. Such
quarantine cost the country hundreds
of thousands of dollars In the expense
of official statlous from Norfolk to
New Orleans, and In that entailed by
diaeaae and by delayed commerce.
The cleansing of Cuba, which makes
the quarantine no longer essential, re
quired enormous expenditure, but was
In the direct Interest of economy. In

Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, of In
diana, In a commencement address said:
"Our country is growing better, not
worse. We hear much of the evil tend

But all countries and all times have
bad tUoae persons who look only upon
the dark and dismal side of things.
'Ever since I began to make observa
tions of the state of my country,' said
Lord Mscaulay, 'I have been seeing
nothing but growth and hearing of
nothing but decay. The more I con
template our noble Institutions, the
more convinced I am that they are
sound at heart, that they have nothing
of age but its dignity, and that their
SUOUa'th U iii the strength of
youth.' This utterance Is admirably
suited to the hour. We are not de
cadent. We are the Inheritors of the
wisdom of all the centuries past. We
tre In the midst of virile youth. No
great vice lies at the root of our growth,
which promises to lay In ruins the
matchless fabric of our Institutions."
People who are too sick with tuber
culoaia to care what happens will be
delighted to learn of the new Balloon
Cure recommended by the faculty at
Part. All H la necettaary to do Is to
place ttv sick party on bis couch in a
new family ballum coating aay $30,000
and, with a good, tried aeronaut In
charge, to rise to an altitude of 10,000
feet. Here the aeronaut drags Ills
foot over the side and stops the bul
letin and the Invalid takes the air, of
which there Is plenty In the vicinity
that Is quite rare, the well-done air of
the lower altitudes not being recom
mended. Every sick person should
be provided with a parachute, so that
In case of too great disturbance in
the upper air currents It will be pos
sible fur the Invalid to unhook his par
achute and drop gracefully down again
to his sick chamber. To take this cure
good sturdy Invalids are required, and
It might Ik? well for the consumptive
to take a course at the gymnasium on
the flying rings as a preparation for
the strenuous balloon cure. At pres
ent, however, the matter Is all up In
the air, but as a measure of precau
tion It might lie well to have the upper
nlr currents thoroughly sterilized and
disinfected before their use.
Lewis Kariictesc, a young draughts

Russell Sage said a good thing th
other day. He had had a birthday, bit
rWth, by the way, and he celebrated
It by doing a big day's work as care
fully as he knew how. Some one asked
hi in to name man's best friend, and he
replied: "Labor, toll, effort to do some-
hing. and do It well." In other words
Mr. Sage believes In work for work's
sake. He lias had his nose to the grind
stone for (X years: he has nractlced
what he preaches, and he asserts tha
the idle man is seldom the contented
man; that the constant and continual
pursuit of pleasure tires the body
wearies the soul and seldom brings
peace to the mind. That Is true. The
carpenter works at his bench till age
forces blin to lay down his tools, and
he yearns for the dally toll that has
become a part Of himself. The best
men of all crafts love their work, and It
Is a love that lasts as long as they do
Tell your oldest employe that he Is to
be retired because of age and you
thrust a knife Into his heart. His labor
may not be a matter of beef and bread.
Perhaps he can live out his few remain
Ing days without working, but you have
taken from him his best friend, bis
dally companion, the habit that Insured
sleep and good digestion; that kept him
from worrying about a good many
things that couldn't be helped. There
s something about folly that brings Its
own penalty; there Is an element In ex
tended self gratification that cm uses
unrest and mental disturbance. If we
were asked to describe the most miser
able man la the world we would point
to one with plenty of money and noth
ng to do; no place to fill, no mission to
serve; his only object to gratify bit
own selfishness. Russell Sage Is right
The Agricultural Department has un
dertaken a big Job. It will try to re
form the bog. It Is the theory of the
department that the hog's heart Is In
the right place, that In his pristine con
dition be was of exemplary habits, but
that he bas fallen from grace. It Is
contended that the negligee appearance
of the modern hog and his slouchy man
ners are the result of both heredity and
environment. For generations the hog
bas been wallowing In his own 'con
celt and In other things. Oross appe
tites and a slovenly toilet have caused
a loss of self-respect. The hog is to be
given another chance. The unfeeling
advice to "root hog or die" la to give
way to altruistic experiment The hog
Is to be rehabilitated. High-bred pigs
are to be put into clean surroundings
with all the accessories of a higher
standard of porcine living. Bo far sa
good. Unfortunately for the experi
ment, however, In one portion of the
Inelosure there Is to be a sty of the
fathers, with Its swill and mud holes
and all the sordid enticements of the
world, the flesh and the devil. It Is the
theory of the agricultural experts that
the hog under these new surroundings
and Improved educational facilities will
eschew the mud and cleave to the high
er life. That Is where the experts will
be disappointed. Is the bog superior
to Adam? And did not our forefather
fall at the first temptation? As the
Scripture saltb, the sow will return to
ber wallow, and so will these cultivated
pigs. They are built that way. The
primitive bog may have been an Intelli
gent gentleman of cleanly Instincts and
persuasive manners, but, like man, be
ate the apple and fell, and great was
the fall thereof. The cleanest hog In
America will backslide Into the mud.

8HOT BY AN INDIAN.
Ma Bnr,
Slaui, Ohi
the Raat-
Naper, Neb. Oct. 10. Big Bear,
i Sioux Indian, la a murderer, and
fleeing from Justice. Late Thursday
olgbt, at the Pouca creek acbool, in
the South Dakota reservation, be
'hot and Instantly killed Boss Farm
er Edward Tayloe. He escaped
and in bis flight met and killed John
nie Shaw, an Indian.
Ever slnee the order was issued
cutting down the rations of tbe In
dians bf the department of tbe in
terior orders bad been issuel
to all the boss farmers to use extreme
delicacy io dealing with them on all
occasions.
To add to this ill-feeling, Agent
Charles A. McChesney aDd Special
Inspector Chubbock, who visited
I'ooca creek school last Saturday,
Issued an order forbidding the In
dians from selling wood oufside of
the reservation.
Ihe feeliDg ran much higher and
culminated in the murder of the boss
faimer., whom the Indians Ignorant
!y blamed as the cause of their grlev
a nces.
Bear asked permission Sunday of
Tayloe to sell some wood at Hones
tee!, and was told of the new special
order, and the request was refused.
He left the school in excessively bad
humor, and was not seen again until
Wednesday night, when be came to
the school carrying a shotgun and
asked for Mr. Tayloe.
Un being told be was in tbe school
room. Bear walked to that portion of
tbe building, stepped close to his un
suspecting victim and discharged tbe
gun full in bis light breast.
Tayloe fell forward on bis face and
died Instantly.
His wife, who was in the room at
thetlme.dlspatcbed tbe IndlaD police
with messsages to the authorities re
garding tbe critical state of affairs
at the school, and also an urgent ap
peal to N'aper, asking for immediate
aid.
A party was instantly organized
sufficient to police the station until
tbe arrival of federal authorities.
About one hour after tbe murder
of Tayloe took place, and three or
four miles further south, Bear shot
ana Instantly killed Johnnie Sbaw,
an Indian.
It is reported fom Bonesteel, S. D,,
that Bear bad been arrested there.
Diet From Dose of Poison.
Plattsmoutb, Neb., Oct. 10. Ja
cob Kalasek, fifty-eight years of age
died Thursday afternoon from the
effects of a dose of poison, which, it
is supposed be took with suicidal In
tent. He bad been worrying a great
deal over family difficulties and this
probably prompted him to seek re
lief in death. He took a large quan
tity of sulphur which he had removed
f om matches, and mixed it with
whisky. Toe poison did not take
fleet at once on account of tbe whis
ky, and a plislciao succeeded in
pumping some of it from his stomach,
ut not enough to s lve his life. He
died in great anon. He leaves a wife
and a large family of children.
Strikers Shot by a Soldier.
Tamaqua, Pa., Oct. 10. James
ilurnbaiu, a striker, was shot and in
stantly killed by a soldier on guard
duty at Brownsville, near here early
Thursday. The place Is the scene of
several dynamiting outrages . and
liurnham is said to have been loiter
ing in tbe vicinity of a non-unionist's
nouse wbtch was partly destroyed by
an explosloo last week. The soldier
called upon Uurnbam to bait and
this order is said to have been disre
garded aod thereupon the sentry fired
and Burnbam fell dead in bis tracks
with a bullet through bis heart.
His Overcoat Was Found.
Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 10. People
who passed Sixteenth and O Wednes
day forueooo might have seen a fine
overcoat banglDg on a post near tbe
southwest corner of tbe inter section.
Policeman Green saw it there when
he came to work Id the early morn
ing, but supposing that It belonged
to some one near by did not disturb
It. When he came from bis dinner
he noticed the coat was still there.
He took it to the station. Last
night a prominent citizen called at
thu station and wanted the police
to find an overcoat for him. He
Identilicd the one brought in. He
told them that be had beeo out tbe
night before, and even admitted that
he might have surrounded a quantity
of Intoxicants that Interfered with

Ion Up to Operator".
Wilkes barre Pa.. Oct. 8. Tbe two
principle features of the anthracite
coal strike which claims public atten
tion in ioc il fields Thursday were,
Will the miners yield to the desire
of tbe president of tbe United States
for them to return to work and in
vestigate afterwards and will the
mine opeiators be able to carry out
their promise to produce enough coal
to relieve the situation if given the
protection of the full military power
of the state.. After a most careful
inquiry among the district officers
not including the district presidents
(who are in Buffalo) and the, rank
and file of mine workers it was found
tbat sentiment is strongly against
accepting the president's proposition
in its present form. As to the other
features of tbe situation as it existed
Tuesday, opinion is divided and will
remain until tbe real test comes.
An officer of the union now in tbe
city, who does not care to be quoted
Id the absence of President Mitchell,
for fear tbat it would be construed
as being official, said to tbe corre
spondent of the associated press:
Tbe anthracite mine-workers of
Pennsylvania appreciate the efforts
beiog made by President Roosevelt
to end the strike in the interests of
the entire country, and tbey have
only words of praise for him, How
ever, they feel that after sacrificing
everything for the last five months,
they consider it unfair for any one
to ask them tj return to work with
out a siDgle concession, especially
when the miners see victory almost
at hand. Tbe bard coal diggers of
Pennsylvania have gone Into the
fight to win and tbey would not be
doing Juiticc to themselves or to
tbe great body of organized work
men throughout the country and
the persons who have and are fi
nancially assisting them Id the
present struggle. Tbe meetings of
the locals throughout the entire
coal regions tomorrow, when action
will be taken in accordance with
President Michell's address last night
will bear me out." This is the tenor
of the remarks of most of tbe ml De
workers In this region. In connect
ion with this, 2,500 striking mineis
of the Prospect, Oakdale and Mid
vale collieries of tbe Lehigh Valley
Coal company met in this city today
aud it was announced after the meet
ing tbat tbey bad unanimously decid
ed to remain on a strike until they
got some concessions.
The call out of the entire military
j force or tne tate did not cause a
sensation in the Wyoming valley. A
tremendious interest is manifest in
the effect tha presence of be entire
division of tbe national guard will
have on tbe strike. There is a wide
difference of opinion as to the pro
bable effect.
There is one notlcible thing and
that is that tbe strikers slnw a
firmer stand than tbey did before
Governor Stone acted last Dlght.
National Board Member John Fall
on who was tbe highest in authority
at strike headquarters today, Said
tbe men will remain as they are
firm to tbe end. Mr. Fallon claims
tbat less coal bas been produced In
tbls region since tbe soldiers have
been bere than at any time prior to
their arrival. He Is of the opinion
tbat all tbe meu tbat want to work
under present conditions are now
employed.
Tbe general comment that It is
dow up to tbe operators to mine coal
dow tbat they have the entire state
mllitiary protection, which they have
been asking for, Is not shared by all
officials of tne companies. It is
clalraled tbe state has yet to show
what It proposes to do.
There Is a feeling among some of
these officials that the mere move of
sending all the troops Into the coal
region may, not bring the desired
effect lo bringing about an early re
sumption of tho colliers.
An official of one of the largest coal
companies In the territory is gu
thority for the statement that an
early resumption depends altogether
upon where the state places tha
troops.

Dutj-
Harrisbnrg, Pa., Oct. 1. Tbe en
tire division of tbe national gaud of
Pennsylvania, 18,000 men in all, was
ordered on duty in the strike region
tonigbt by Governor Stone.
Governor Stone will neither affirm
nor deny tbe report from Washing
ton tbat be bas been asked by Presi
dent Roosevelt to call an extra session
of tbe general assembly to settle tbe
coal strike. He still declines to dig
cuss tbe situation or tbe prospects of
an early settlement of tbe differences
between tbe operators and miners.
Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott, assist
ant adjutant general of the Pennsyl
vania national guard, arrived Id liar
risburg at 3:15 Tuesday afternoon
from Philadelphia aDd met Lieuten
ant-Colonel RicbardsoD, keeper of
the state arsenal, at tbe Common
wealtb botel, and went from tbere
to tbe executive mansion to meet
Governor Stone. Colonel Elliott said
his visit had nothing to do with tbe
coal strike situation: tbat he was
simply here on military mattera.
Colonel Richardson had with him a
package, which it is believed con
tained blueprints of the coal regions.
Colonel Richardson said Colonel El
liott's presence had nothing whatev
ei to do with the strike. It is prob
able, though, that the governor has
decided to place tbe entire division
of the national guard on duty in tbe
strike region, and that Colonel El
liott was ordered on duty at bead-
quarters here to direct the move
ment in the absence of Adjutant
Geoeral Stewart, who is at Washing
ton attending tbe national encamp
ment of the G. A. R.
; Col. Elliott is a graduate of West
Point, and is regarded as one of the
most efficient officers in the guard.
Col. Richardson is division Quarter
master aod if the governor should de
cide to i rder out the troops he will
have charge of the shipment of the
canvas aod other camp equippage
from the arsenal Id this city.
