WAGES CUT AT ARCHBALD'S
ROCK AND BOTTOM VEINS.
Prices Have Been Cut from 08 Cents
and S1.07.J Per Car to 89 and 08J
Cents Cut Was Necessary Owing
to the Expense of Operating the
Mine May Be Some Objection on
Fnrt of Miners Horse Enters a
Sewer Harvest Homo Festival nt
the Salvation Army Barracks.
Though much Joy resulted among
many of the residents of the mining
hamlet of the Archbald, by the re
sumption of that colliery Wednesday
last, after an Idleness of nearly seven
months, that Joy was somewhat tem
pered by nn order which was put Into
effect that day. This order related to
the wages of those who are employed
In tho Rock and the bottom vein. A
reduction of nine cents per car went
Into effect as n result of this order.
Previous to the shutting down of the
colliery early In the year, 9S cents was
the price per car In tho Rock, and
$1.07,,3 In the bottom vein. These prices
held good despite the fact that the
same veins In neighboring collieries
were bring worked for nine cents les3
per car.
Now, however, the 89 and 98V4-cent
rate per car goes Into effect at tho
Archbald. The men were personally
notified by Assistant Mine Superin
tendent Reese Phillips. It is said that
tho Archbald colliery Is a very ex
pensive mine, owing to the heavy roy
alties, nnd tills fact had something to
do with the shutting down several
months ago.
The lowering of the rates Is not the
only cause for displeasure. Where they
were once required to send out six cars
for a shift, they now have to send
seven. It was hinted that some gen
eral form of objection was contem
plated on the part of the miners, but
such does not seem to be a probabil
ity. IIORSK KNTERS A SEWI3R.
Merchant John B. Ilccse, of South
Mnln avenue, nearly lost a valuable
horse yesterday afternoon as the result
of a very peculiar mishap. As It Is
tho animal Is badly injured, being cut
and bruised. It Is thought that tho
equine Is also suffering from a strained
back.
In accordance with Instructions from
Mr. Reese, the horse was taken from
the barn on South Bromley uvenue,
shortly after noon yesterday to be tak
en to a blacksmith shop and shod. Tho
young man who was taking the horse
to the shop mounted him, and this the
horse did not like. lie started to back
up. The fellow Jumped off tho horse's
back and tried to stop the animal's
backward course.
Excavations for the sewer repairs
are being made along this block and
the horse, a big, heavy animal, was
backing directly Into the trench. It
was impossible to stop him, and In he
went, doubled up like a Jack knife and
wedged in sardine style. The trench
was nine feet deep at this point. It
was nearly three hours before the
horse was extricated. A trench had
to be dug leading from the horse's
position and he was then hauled out.
The animal's sides and haunches are
cut and bruised and he was bloated.
Dr. Sutton Is caring for the animal.

the part of the members of the local

Farewell Reception to John Qavln
Who Leaves for Lehigh University
on Monday Mlnooka Women in
Alderman Ruddy's Court.
John Gibbons, Jr., cashier at tho
Meadow Brook coal ofllce ot Connell ft
Co., received a letter early In the week
from his friend, Hon. Alex Connell,
who Is In the far Klondike, at the
head of a prospecting party. The
major portion of tho letter Is of n per
sonal nature.
Mr. Connell, however, states that un
der no circumstances would he encour
courage anyone to leave for tho gold
fields'. When Mr. Connell wrote he was
on tho trail along the Lewis river, nnd
he said that ho was of the opinion the
date was July 25, but he did not know.
Evidently he had not heard of the re
cent war as he dtd not make any ref
erence to It. The climate when tho
letter was written, was grand. Hunt
ing was plentiful and Mr. Connell's
health was the very best.
Iho Connell party of prospectors
have gone over one thousand miles In
search of gold without the least sun
cess. They have gone up the Salmon
river one hundred and twenty-two
miles, tho Hadsan river ninety-five
miles, and tho Nlsctten river forty-five
miles. The party will remain about a
year longer, and in the event of not
realizing their desires they will pro
ceed homeward. Mr. Connell directs
that his mall be forwarded to Dawson

Mrs. Hudy, of Mlnooka, was ar

night on the charge of assault nnd bat
tery, preferred by her neighbor, Mrs.
Ruane. Tho latter purchased n cow
from the defendant several days ago,
and a part of the bargain, Mrs. Ruane
says, was that she was to have a patch
of corn when the same was grown.
Thursday she went to the Hudy plot
and commenced to help herself to the
corn when Mrs. Hudy raised an objec
tion. The women began to quarrel and
the result was a hair pulling match.
Mrs. Hudy was held in $300 bail, which
was furnished. Mrs. Ruane will be the
defendant today on a similar charge
to be heard before 'Squire O'Neill, of

NERVOtXS WOMEN.
The Opinion of a Famous Medical
Writer as to the Cause.
In a recent letcure on diseases of
women. Dr. Hartmnn, said: "A ner
vous woman Is always a sick woman.
Some drain on her system Is the cause
of It If the mucous membranes nre
healthy, the woman Is usually healthy.
Each one of the numerous and delicate
organs of the human body Is lined
with mucous membrane. The slightest
catarrhal congestion of any of these
membranes gives rise to weakening
discharges, which leads to nervousness,
and llnally prostration. Fe-ru-na Is
the only remedy that I have ever found
to be of lasting use In these cases.
Thousands of women are lanqulshlng
n 1th the very common nllment known
as female weakness, which In almost
every instance is caused by catarrh of
the pelvic organs. Pe-ru-na will cure
these cases promptly and permanent
ly." Mrs. Lucy Lee, Naples, Texas,
writes: "I am enjoying better health
than I ever did In my life. I can't
praise Pe-ru-na enough; It is the
greatest medicine there is in the
world."

especially for women, "Health and
Beauty," will be sent free to any ad

The Republican Party Can Be Trust
ed to Heal Itself.
Colonel Stone at Williams' Grove.
It one Republican Introduces a bad
bill, which meets Us defeat at the
hands of another Republican member,
or at the hands of a Republican gov
ernor, If tho party Is charged with the
Introduction of the bill, It should also
be credited with its defeat. If It is
charged with its birth it should be
credited with Its death.
Cne of tho great reasons why the
Republican party maintains Its su
premacy so long In Pennsylvania Is
that all wrong-doing finds publicity In
time to prevent Its success and finds
it inside tho Republican party. We do
not ulvays agree in our party. There
are many Issues and disputes, many
criticisms and complaints, but this fact
only Inures to better government and
cleaner politics Inside the purty.

THE COST OP 'PHONI1
Why a Long Distance Chat Is Gel
ally Expensive.
An authority on such matters, pre
sumably, tells us that some Impatient
criticism of long-distance telephono
rates might be saved if the public un
derstood better the basis on which tho
charges aro made. The correspondent
by telephone, says the Boston Herald,
must have all the line when ho requires)
It, and practically the entire earnings
of the long-distance line must be with
in the hours when business men are at
their offices. Tho capacity of a long
distance line Is confined to an average
of six conversations an hour, so that
the rate must be sufficient to yield
during a limited time an adequate re
turn upon the Investment and ex
pense. Telephone rates, therefore, nre
based on mileage, and the time tho
line Is occupied In arranging the con
nection, in conversation and In dis
connecting. Many people are unablo
to understand the cause of the differ
ence of the rateh of telegraph and tele
phone service. This difference is eas
ily explained. The telegraph employs a
single wire conductor, and by the quad
ruplex system this wire Is made to
serve the purpose of four wires. Tho
long-distance telephono service re
quires two copper wires for each cir
cuit, which altogether, weigh nearly
double what the single wire does, and;
costsoveriive times as much per pound.
The general construction and equip
ment of the long-dlstunce telephone
service Is also far mora expensive than
that of telegraph. Futhermore, an
ordinary ten-word telegram may ba
transmitted In a minute, and four mes
sages can go over the same wire at
tho same time. Each complete conver
sation over the long-distance telephono
occupies two wires for ten minutes,
which brings the comparison to two,
wires for ten minutes, as against one-
fourth of one wire for one minute.
Another essential difference In tho
two systems Is that a sender of a tel
egram writes out his message, and
goes about his business, and the oper
ator forwards It when convenient, thus
keeping the telegram wires fully em
ployed at nil hours, whereas tho tele
phone must necessarily bo inactive for
the greater part of the 24 hours.
