A dispatch from Indianapolis, Iod., to the dally papers yesterday, says: "Ten per cent Increase in wages for the bituminous miners of North America probably will be the demand formulated in the annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which will open in this city to-morrow. "The miners say that since the scale under which they are now working was made six years ago, prices of every- ' thing have been nearly doubled, and even tbe coal they buy from the op erator is higher. They instance an ordinary suit of miners' clothes, which cost them $2.25 six years ago, now costs $5, while beef and pork that they bought then for 8 and 10 cents now costs 17 to 22 cents. Tbe sentiment In favor of an increased scale seems to be general among tbe delegates bete now. "Contracts between the miners' or ganization and operators in 20 states expire this year, most of them on March 24th, and a uniform increase will be demanded throughout." Cut prices on women's shoes, $4.00 ones $2 48 atAdam's. Thos. O'Hare to Manace the Fond du Lac, Wis., Team. Tom O'Hare, well known baseball player of Reynoldsville, Is to be man ager of the Fond du Lao, Wis., baseball team the coming season. The following Is a clipping from a Fond du Lao news, paper: 'Tom O'Hare will guide the des tinies of the Fond du Lao baseball team In 1910. The proposition made by the local association has been accepted by Mr. O'Hare and only some minor details are to be adjusted when tbe contract will be signed. Fund du Lao Is particularly fortunate in securing tbe service of Mr. O'Hare, who Is a first-class ball player, a per fect gentleman, and who can control his players and hold the confidence of the public. He will be player-manager, and will occupy bU old position in left fluid, where his work last year classed him as tbe best outfielder In the league. O'Hare took the local club a few weeks before the season closed last year after it was Impossible to Becure results that would have done credit to the players. Lack of discipline early in the season had put the team In a rut that no one could overcome." Will Soon Be Trunk Line. The Pittsburgh, Shawmut & North ern Railroad Company can now run trains from one ei.d of Its line to the other, as the link between Corryvllle and State Line Junction was completed and opened for traffic on New Year's Day. Up to that time the Shawraut trains were obliged to use the Pennsyl vania tracks between Corryvllle and State Line, as tbe road was in two sec tions, the New York state section and Pennsylania.Bcction. This makes a continuous line of road from Wayland and Hornel, N. Y., to Brookville, Con lfei and Ramsaytown to the soutb, and before the present year passes it is fair to presume that trains will be running along the Allegheny river towards Pittsburgh, making the Shawmut one of the great trunk lines of the two great states of Pennsylvania and New York. From the present outlook this is to be a most Important year for the Shawmut Interests. Brookville Republican. Baptist Meetings Continued. The evangelistic meetings In the BaptiBt church will be continue! all this week,.' except Saturday evening. Rev. H. I. Stewart, of New Bethlehem, who Is assisting Dr. Meek la an able preacher and a pleasant speaker. The meetings are very interesting and help ful.

Tbe plan "HstenB good" and would, no doubt, be highly acceptable to the ma jority of those most concerned. The poor accommodations provided by Brookville for the last institute has added force to tbe agitation. Sykes vllle rost-Dinpatch. Congregational Meeting.

THE OTHER 8IDE. - A Reply' to "Who is the Real Town ' Knocker," In Last Week's Issue. ' We do blame the other fellow and do not forgot that we are guilty, but, why are we guilty? Now I will try to tell you. "Says I to myself, says I" You ask who furnishes tbe possibility of our employment as a merchant, a banker, a professional man, or any bus iness which we may be engaged In? We acknowledge that It Is the com munity In which we live, but Just be cause we live In a certain community, does that Blgnify that we have to pay six times the price for what we want? Take the groceryman. You go Into the store, the clerk is in the back end, opening a box at his leisure, you have to stand and wait and wait until he gets ready, to wait on you, and then they object to delivering anything smaller than a sack of flour. In the surrounding towns the grocerymen go to the people's back doors every morn ing and take orders and that same morning your goods will be delivered to you. Tbe butcher comes next. A lady goes into tbe meat market; it Is almost din ner time and she is in a hurry. The butcher Is In a back room cleaning a chicken; the lady has to wait there also; finally he comes to wait on her, bis apron covered with chicken blood, and he Is very busy picking his teeth with his fingers, but that does not make any difference about the price. He will chargp. vn 22o a pound for chicken when you can get the same thing In Pittsburgh for 15o a pound, and we have to pay him more for butter and eggs than the city people pay for theirs. Then the premium comes next: take Boap for Instance. Our merchants will give us five cakes for 25 cents and no more, but let us send to Pittsburgh or Buffa'o for ten dollars' worth of differ ent articles and we will get $5.00 back as a premium. And there are endless other things too numerous to mention. Do our merchants expect us to pay exhorbltant prices and not receive any courtesy? We all have a right to spend our money where we please, and we all want to spend it right here in Reynoldsville if our merchants will make it possible for us to do so: if not, we will enjoy a little trip to another town Bnd do our purchasing. You quote, "Where Ignorance Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." We have all been In Ignorance for a long time but have had our eyes opened'. It Is our merchants who are hurting our town more than any one else. I for one pay cash for every purchase and will gladly stick by my own town if the merchants will make It possible for me to do so. One of Many. The Mission of the Grange. The Grange Is by many people mis understood. It Is not a combination of armors for selfish aggrandizement; it Is not a farmers' trust; it is not a political or sectarian adjunct. . The Grange is an organization of farmers and its Intent and purpose are to pro mote a higher womanhood and man hood, to remove the isolation from the farm home,' to educate and elevate the American farmer, to Increase our at tachments to our pursuits. The Grange Is for a square deal nothing more or Ibbs. In this year of 1910 let It be one of our highest resolves the resolve of every patron to extend the influence of tbe Grange into the widest possible field for good, conforming our work so that our light may Bhlne before men brightly and convincingly.
