Mugh mystery has thus far accom- panied the movements of agents rep- resenting an eastern syndicate option- ing coal fields in the north of Somerset county, adjacent to the vast holdings of the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company in the Windber field. Options have been obtained from farmers on a body of coal lands which it is reported will aggregate from 12,000 to 15.000 acres in Shade and Paint townships, and during the past few days some of the owners of the land have been noti- fied to prepare their deeds and deliver them at the office of well known Som- erset attorneys, when, if found correct, they will'receive the respective sums called for by the options, the Somerset Standard says. The field agents of the syndicate are Indiana county people, and this has given rise to a report that they are operating for the Vanderbilt interests, and that a scheme is on foot to build a branch of the Pittsburg, Rochester & Western, now operating in. Cambria and Indiana counties, into Somerset county. Lines recently surveyed in and around Ebensburg, it is claimed, go to confirm this theory. It is vaguely hinted throughout the east that the “community of interest,” which has so long prevailed among the soft coal car- rying roads, is about to be dissolved, and that the Vanderbilt interests are fortifying themselves in order that in the future they may continue to par- ticipate in the soft coal tonnage, which is the most profitable and by far the largest enjoyed by railroads east of the Ohio river. The geographical location of Somerset county, together with its enormous area of undeveloped miner- als, make this field one of the most tempting in the country, and it is therefore not hard to believe that the Vanderbilt interests have determined to secure a share of the tonnage which will originate here, and which is now enjoyed exclusively by the B. & O. and PRB Few, if any, of the farmers in the sec- tion named who have given options on their coal have any knowledge of the parties in whose hands the property is to ultimately fall, but a majority of them are well-satisfied that the agents with whom they have so far been deal- ing represent the New York Central Railroad Company, or other interests closely identified with the Vanderbilts. Negotiations have advanced to such a stage that there is little room left to doubt that within a short time a rich rival to the Berwind-White Coal Min- ing Company will be operating in the north end of Somerset county.—Con- nellsville Courier. ORGANIZERS AND POKER. An ingtance of how a considerable amount’ of the miners’ hard-earned money is spent by the national treasury of the United ‘Mine Workers will be tound in our newscolumns. An organ- izer, whose duty it was to give instruec- tion and advice to the striking miners in the Meyersdale field, and whose position required that by his conduct he should at least set a good example to his followers—this apostle of the rights of ‘the workingmen spent his fine salary at poker and is now in jail for passing worthless checks. This fellow’s name is Zelink. The Star picked him out as a bad egg » year ago, and because of that was sub- jected to a dose of hot air from the same individual over the telephone. Zelink, in that interview prated about his honesty, his solicitation for the miners and exhibited the red spots made from his bleeding heart for the down-trodden. It is safe to say, in the light of recent developments, that Zelink dropped the telephone receiver and hied himself to the green-cloth table, where he whiled away the hours that should have been devoted to his cause in fervid dalliance with the fas- cinating kitty. Zelink received nearly $2,000 last year from the national treasury, ali of which, and more, too, went into the poker pot. How much suffering a portion of this money wauld have alleviated—he gave no thought. How much suffering Zelink and his doctrine have caused the miners of the Meyersdale region may never be made known. All organizers of the United Mine Workers are not bad ; all are not poker players; all are neither grafters or skates. But those who are not, have never been able to attain enough in- fluence in the organization to demand a hearing in opposition ,to the great majority who are. The miners throughout the country will better understand all these things some day—probably when it is too late. —Lonagoning Star. PLEASANT AND HARMLESS. Don’t drug the stomach to cure a cough.

Epitor Star: —Today the “Flicker- tails” enjoyed the most beautiful day of the season, just such a day as would tempt “little George” to go out and try his new hatchet. But alas for the cherry trees! they are a minus quantity here. However, cottonwoods and wil- lows are prized just as dearly. For the past week we have had compara- tively mild weather for this latitude, being above the zero point, and thaw- ing so that our snow has nearly all disappeared, and our roads are dry and dusty. Sleds were but little used so far, this winter. January was dry and evenly cold, and the first two weeks of the present month, it is fair to presume, constitut- ed the backbone of our winter. The coldest night was a few weeks ago, when the mercury reached a maximum of 45 degrees below zero; but the night was so calm that the cold did not deter our young folks from attend- ing the* literary society here, some bringing their girls a distance of 5 to 10 miles, sallying forth through frost and rime, fresh and fair as blooming crocuses peeping through an April snow. Luckily, so far, this season, North Dakota has remained in the “Calm Belt.” No snow, no wind, no blizzard. . Many of the North Dakota people are south, east or west to spend, the winter. Even old Boreas has forsaken us and is having a frolicksome time all through the central and eastern states. I think the “hot old times” between the Jap and the Russ, or yellowjackets and the bears, have scared him out, and that, no doubt, accounts for our mod- erate zone in this high latitude. Well, we surely feel grateful that a smiling Providence has so kindly remembered and favored us. The heslth of the people is good, and all are happy. Our state legislature is in session, making good and wholesome laws. The *pri- mary election” bill passed, and also the “pure food” bill as amended, and another one regulating weights and measures, and grades of grain. The farmers, all along, have been wonder- fully imposed upon, and robbed and cheated by the grain buyers at the home elevators and terminal shipping points. But from now on we hope to have justice done us; besides, we shall goon have a strong competing railroad, by the “Soo Line,” right through the center, east and west, of the northern tier of counties, giving us direct access to the coal fields of the west and north- west, and also to Duluth and the Sau- periors. On the whole, the prospects of North Dakota’s future are bright for an ever-increasing prosperity as the years come and go. The prejudice of the eastern and southern people against our climate, I am happy to state, is growing less as they become acquainted with the facts of the de- velopment of this country. Once fully initiated to the ways of the Northwest, the occasional blizzard and 40 below zero now and then, will no longer ter- rorize the once timid tenderfoot; but he will only smile and laugh at the new arrivals. Well, I presume by this time, or very soon, “Lije, the Sugar King.” and his close rivals, are “a-bilin’ de sap.” O, my! my maul, des schmotzt, Ich bin so hungrich for en schpotz. Respectfully, MPL Rumored Coal Combine. During the past few days a rumor has been current in this community that a dwal ix on whereby the W. K. Niver Coxl Company will be merged with the Consolidation Company, of Maryland, the Fairmont Coal Company, of West Virginia, and the Somerset Coal Com- pany, operating in this county. Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday of last week several prominent officials of the Consolidation Coal Company were engaged in making a‘thorough in- spection and taking an inventory of the Niver holdings in this vicinity. The gentlemen composing the party were L. L. Malone, general manager, with his private secretary, Geo. H. Brobst, J. Haas, chief chemist, of Fair- mont, W. Va.; W. P. Young, general in- spector, of Somerset, and. A. J. John- son, district superintendent, of Garrett. General Manager Malone decided not to give out anything for publica- tion further than stating that the party had been making an inspection of the Niyer workings. Mr. Malone appeared to be favorably impressed with the sur- roundings, and when questioned about the railroad outlook for this section, seemed to think that it would be a matter of only a short time till the road would be extended through from the main line to eastern connections.— Berlin Record. = BY THE TONIC ROUTE.

Lee Spangler, the York, Pa., prophet, who has attracted much attention by accurately predicting great modern events, has issued his bulletin of proph- ecies for the year 1805. Spangler sees dire things ahead for Russia as the result of the recent turbulency in that empire. He says in his bulletin: “Woe unto Russia! She is fast ap- proaching her doom. The people will overthrow the empire. The royal family and the leading members of the nobility will be murdered and subject- ed to worse cruelties than they have inflicted upon the Russian people. The country will be divided into small republics and elective monarchies, and these will be constantly quarreling and in a state of war until the end of the world comes, in 1908. A YEAR OF STRIKES, “The big spot that has appeared up- on the sun is ominous. It foretells re- bellion, pestilence and nature catas- trophes upon the earth. The outbreak of rebellion in Russia is but a spark. It will be fanned into a flame that will sweep over the world. The Urited States will not escape. The worst riots in the history of the nation are to occur this year. It will be a year of strikes in all the great industrial na- tions of the world. There will be much famine, much fighting and much woe. “There will be many big fires in the United States and in other civilized nations. It will be a year of great loss to the insurance companies. In Russia the revolutionists, when they become more powerful. will resort to the use of the torch. Russia’s finest cities will be laid in ashes. Astronomers should watch the moon closely. “Belief in the groundhog as a weath- er forecaster is a superstition that the devil has put in the minds of the people. There are thousands of such superstitions, and the devil, who is the father of ignorance, invented them. According to the groundhog’s appear- ance, there is to be six weeks of cold weather. According to natural indi- cations and to the revelations of God, there will be an early spring. The summer will be a dry one. Crops will be ruined by drouths. There are to be numerous earthquake shocks during the year. These will be most severe in the Old World. In Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and New England there will be shocks of sufficient force to cause chimneys to topple over and cornices and pictures to fall. siete errr REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. I.
