Senator Charles W. Fairbanks , of In

"Our country is growing better , not
worse. We hear much of the evil tend

Lord Macaulay , * 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
strength is still 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
are 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
culosis to care what happens will be
delighted to learn of the new Balloon
Cure recommended by the faculty at
Paris. All it is necessary to do is to
place the sick party on his couch in a
new family balloon costing say $30,000
and. with a good , tried aeronaut in
charge , to rise to an altitude of 10,000
feet. Here the aeronaut drags his
foot over the side and stops the bal-
y Jonn 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
l > e provided with a parachute , so that
in case of too great disturbance in
the upper air currents it will be pos
sible for the Invalid to unhook his par
achute and drop gracefully down again
to his sick chamber. To take this cure
good sturdy invalids arc required , and
it might be well for the consumptive
to take a course at the gymnasium on
the flying rings as a preparation for
the strenuotis balloon cure. At pres
ent , however , the matter is all up in
the air , but sis a measure of precau
tion it might be well to have the upper
air currents thoroughly sterilized and
disinfected before their use.
Lewis Earnetez , a young draughts

Russell Sage said a good thing the
other day. lie had had a birthday , his
8Uth , by the way , and he celebrated
'
it by doing a big day's work as care-
fully as he knew how. Some one asked
him to name man's best friend , and he
replied : "Labor , toil , effort to do some
thing , and do it well. " In other words ,
Mr. Sage believes in work for work's
sake. lie has had his nose to the grind
stone for GS years ; he has practiced
what he preaches , and he asserts that
the idle man is seldom the contented j
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 ago
forces him to lay down his tools , and
he yearns for the daily toil 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 , his
daily companion , the habit that insured
sleep and good digestion ; that kept him ] ,
from worrying about a good many I
things that couldn't be helped. There
is something about folly that brings its I i
own penalty ; there is an element in ex- ,
tended self-gratification that causes
unrest and mental disturbance. If we
were asked to describe the most miser
able man in the world we would point
to one with plenty of money and noth
ing to do ; no place to fill , no mission to
serve ; his only object to gratify his
own selfishness. Russell Sage is right
The Agricultural Department has un
dertaken a big job. It will try to re
form the hog. It Is the theory of the
department that the hog's heart is in
the right place , that In his pristine con
dition he was of exemplary habits , but
that he has 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
has been wallowing in his own con
ceit and in other things. Gross 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" is 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. So far sol
good. Unfortunately for the experi
ment , however , in one portion of the
inclosure 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 hog superior
to Adam ? And did not our forefather
fall at the first temptation ? As the
Scripture saith , the sow will return to
her wallow , and so will these cultivated
pigs. They are built that way. The'
primitive hog may have been an intelli-
gent gentleman of cleanly Instincts and
persuasive manners , but , like man , he j
ate the apple and fell , and great was |
the fall thereof. The cleanest hog in
America will backslide into the mud.

years old , and sprouts from its
branches have realized fabulous sums.
Some years ago a rich Englishman of
fered 50,000 for the entire tree , but
the sum was indignantly refused. This
wonderful plant clings amid thickly
grown moss against the side of the
famous old Church of St. Michael. It
is claimed that it has bloomed peren

who was questioned regarding the

Spain's increased naval program , said
to a representative of the American
press :
"There is absolutely no such move

father to the thought. At the present

That is the sole objective of the pro

Duty-
Harrisburg , Pa. , Oct. 7.The en
cire division of the national guard o
Pennsylvania , 18,000 men in all , was
ordered on duty io the strike region
tonight by Governor Stone.
Governor Stone will neither affirm
nor deny the report from Washing
ton that he has been asked by Presi
dent Roosevelt to call an extra session
of the general assembly to settle the
coal strike. He still declines to dis
cuss the situation or the prospects o
an early settlement of the differences
between the operators and miners.
Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott , assist
ant adjutant general of the Pennsyl
vania national guard , arrived in Har
risburg at 3:15 : Tuesday afternoon
from Philadelphia and met Lieuten
ant-Colonel Richardson , keeper of
the state arsenal , at the Common
wealth hotel , and went from there
to the executive mansion to meel
Governor Stone. Colonel Elliott said
his visit had nothing to do with the
coal strike situation ; that he was
simply here on military matters.
Colonel Richardson had with him a
package , which it is believed con
tained blueprints of the coal regions.
Colonel Riuhaidson 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 the entire division
of the national guard on duty in the
strike region , and that Colonel El
liott was ordered on duty at head
quarters here to direct the move
ment in the absence of Adjutant
General Stewart , who is at Washing
ton attending the national encamp
ment of the G. A. R.
2 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 and if the governor should de
cide to rder out the troops he will
have charge of the shipment of the
canvas and other camp equippage
from the arsenal in this city.
Niegenfind is Bound Over.
Pierce , Nebr. Oct. 7. The prelim
inary hearing of the case of the state
Nebraska vs. Gottlieb Niegenfind
was held about half past ten Monday
morning in the court room before
County Judge Williams. A large
crowd was present. The information
was read by County Attorney Barn-
hart , charging Niegenfind with the
killing of Mrs. Anna Peters. Nie-
geafind pleaded not guilty.
Lena Breyer was placed on the
stand and swore that while in the
house on the nigh ; of the murder
she heard shots in the barnyard. She
ran out and saw Niegenfind with a
revolver in his band. She also saw
him shoot her father. She ran over
to a neighbor's for help , but no one
was at home , so she came back and
going to the barnyard found her sister
dead , with a bullet huie over her
right eye near the temple.
Sheriff Jones testified that Niegen-
dnd told him that he shot Anna Pe
ters : that she fell to the ground and
then he fired into her body again.
Dave Terry , of Winside , described
the capture of Niegeufind.
The attorney for Niegenfind , George
T. Kelly , did not care to introduce
any testimony and Judge Williams
'jound ' the prisoner over to the disrict
court , without bail. He will be tried
at the regular term of court com
mencing October 27.
Young Farmer is Hissing.
Hastings , Nebr. , Oct. 7. Themys
terious disappearance of Nicholas
Consbrook. a young farmer who has
been working the Glaus Frabm farm
has stirred up considerable excite
ment in this city. Connsbrook is a
single man , about twenty-four years
ol.1 , and last Tuesday he drove to the
southeast part of Adams county to
visit his parents , but from the time
hi left them the latter part of the
week , no trace can be found of him
further than that he returned to his
farm and left his horses harnessed.
Sheriff Hill made a thorough search
of the place and found some of
younsg Cronsbrook's clothing hidden
under the hay in the barn and also
found an empty pocketbook and the
farm lease lying in the haymow. It
has been learned that the young farm
er had nearly $100 in cash about his
person.

Mi itia Failed to Caune Kxpectcd Sensm-
sion Up to Operators.
Wilkesbarre Pa. , Oct. 8. The two
principle features of the anthracite
coal strike which claims public atten
tion in locil fields Thursday were ,
Will the miners yield to the desire
of the president of the United States
ror them to return to work and in
vestigate afterwards and will the
mine operators he 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
that sentiment is strongly against
accepting the president's proposition
in its present form. As to the other
features of the situation as it existed
Tuesday , opinion is divided and will
remain until the real test comes.
An officer of the union now in the
city , who does not care to be quoted
in the absence of President Mitchell ,
for fear that it would be construed
as being official , said to the corre
spondent of the associated press :
The anthracite mine-workers of
Pennsylvania appreciate the efforts
being made by President Eoosevelt
to end the strike in the interests uf
the entire country , and they 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 to return to work with
out a single concession , especially
when the miners see victory almost
at hand. The hard coal diggers of
Pennsylvania have gone into the
fight to win and they would not be
doing justice to themselves or to
the great body of organized work
men throughout the country and
the persons who have and are fi
nancially assisting them in the
present struggle. The 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.5' This is the tenor
of the remarks of most of the mine-
workers In this region. In connect
ion with this , 2,500 striking mineis
of the Prospect , Oakdale and Mid-
vale collieries of the Lehigh Valley
Goal company met in this city today
and it was announced after the meet
ing that they had unanimously decid
ed to remain on a strike until they
got some concessions.
The call out of the entire military
force of the state did not cause a
sensation in the Wyoming valley. A
tremendious interest is manifest in ' ,
j
the effect the nresence of rhe entire
division of the national guard will
have on the strike. There is a wide
difference of opinion as to the pro
bable effect.
There is one noticible thing and
that is that the strikers slnw a
firmer stand than they did before
Governor Stone acted last night.
National Board Member John Fall
en who was the highest in authority
at strike headquarters today , said
the men will remain as they are
firm to the end. Mr. Fallen claims
that less coal has been produced in
this region since the soldiers have
been here than at any time prior to
their arrival. He is of the opinion
that all the men that want to work
under present conditions are now
employed.
The general comment that it is
now up to the operators to mine coal
now that they have the entire state
militiary protection , which theybavp
been ask'ng ' for , is not shared by all
officials of tne companies. It is
claimled the 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 in bringing about an early re
sumption of the colliers.
An official of one of the largest coal
companies in the territory is au
thority for the statement that an
early resumption depends altogether
upon where the state places ths
troops.

Hard coal burners are a "diug'-

demand found the dealers unpre"- '

a "whooping" business in stoves and
people with hard coal furnaces have
decided to use soft coal heaters in
their homes. It is figured out that
this change will be expensive and
according to the calculations a bard
coal bill last winter will mean sr
335,75 soft coal cost this winter. *
