MINERS WANT
MORE LAWS
Union Officers Confer With
the Lawmakers.
They Agree Upon Certain
Measures Which Will Be
Pushed in the Legisla
ture.
Senators and representatives from the
anthracite coal region held a conference
at Harrisburg yesterday with a commit
tee representing the United Mine Work
ers, for consideration of various propos
ed bills affecting the interests of the
miners. These measures will be intro
duced In a few days. Their adoption is
expected to remove many of the points
of difference between miners and em
p'oyers which have caused trouble for
years.
One provides that the mine inspectors
shall be elected by the people for a
period of three years and fixes their
salary at SIOO a month and expenses.
Another provides that all anthracite
coal mining shall be paid for by weight,
at 2.240 pounds to the ton, and fixes a
penalty of from 8100 to 8500 and ninety
days' imprisonment for violation.
A bill was agreed upon which author
izes tho placing of check-weighmen at
each anthracite colliery, to be elected
and maintained by the men. The
weigbman shall be present at the
weighing of all coal, shall weigh the
coal If be chooses, and shall have the
privilege of balancing the scales.
If there is a dispute between the men's
weighman and the company's weigbman
It shall be referred to the mine inspector,
whose decision shall be final, the loser
|to pay the costs. Any company inter
fering with the check-wcightuan shall
be subject to a penalty of from SIOO to
SSOO.
Another bill agreed upon fixes a pen
alty of SSOO or three months' imprison
ment. for violation of tho semi-monthly
pay law. The b'ill provides that no as
signment of future wages to be paid
semi-monthly shall be valid, and no
agreement to rolieve the employ
er from the provisions of tho act will be
legal.
T. J. Nicholls, of Nanticoke, president
of District No. 1; J. J. Kearney, of
Archbald, and Henry Collins, of Carbon
dale, members of the executive commit
tee of District No. 1; Adam Pulaski, of
Mt. Carmel, president, and George Ilart
lein, secretary, of District No. 9, repre
sented the United Mine Workers in the
conference.
Representative Garner's resolution de
manding tho removal of James E. Rod- ■
erick, chief of the bureau of mines and
mining, because of his alleged declara
tion that "the miners' hands are against:
every man and every man's hands are
against them," was the occasion of a
meeting of the house of representatives
committee on mines and mining.
Representative Haworth announced
that Mr. Roderick was ill, and suggest
ed the appointment of a committee to j
confer with him as to whether be had ,
anything to say for himself. This was
agreed to, and Messrs. Paul, of Philadel-!
phia; Hartman, of Luzerne, and Ilaag,
of Schuylkill, were appointed.
The committee found Roderick in his
room at the Lochlel hotel, suffering with
symptoms of pneumonia. He said he
was too ill to discuss the matter, but
promised the committee that as soon as
he is able he will furnish a sworn denial
of Garner's statement.
A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
strain of an active life with a weak
stomach; neither can we stop the human j
machine to make repairs. If tbastom-j
ach cannot digest enough food to keep
the body strong, such u preparation as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure should be used.
It digests what you eat and it simply j
can't help but do you'good. Grover's

the young man was seriously hurt in
No. 5 mine, Upper Lehigh, by being
squeezed about the head between a car
and a prop. He was taken to the hospi
tal. where he showed signs of improve
ment. and his recovery was taken for
granted. The news of his death was a
shock to his relatives and friends.
The deceased was aged 17 years, ft
months and 18 days. Ho Is survived by
his mother, two sisters and throe broth
ers. The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The re

New County Up Again.
A new county bill was introduced in
the house yesterday by Mr. Haworth, of
Freeland. Tho bill provides that when
ever any county shall attain a popula
tion of 250,000 or more, or that has al
ready reached that population, it may
be divided and a new county erected
therefrom upon consent of a majority
of the qualified electors of tho proposed
new county district voting at an election
to be called for such purpose.
Married in Montana.
Cards have been received in Freeland
announcing the marriage of James
Rogan, a son of Patrick Rogan, of
South Centre street, to Miss Cecile Alice
Ducommon Gastigor, at Anaconda,
Montana, on tho 14th inst. Mr. Rogan
is a well known young man and his
friends here will wish the couple many
years of happiness.
They Kefuned Hiui a Drink,
Claiming he was minor, .and by no
amount of argument could he pursuade
them that he was close to thirty until he
finally removed his hat, and by his bald
head satified them that he was not only
entitled to the drink, but also to a front
seat at the ballet show. Wo think this
young man would bo willing to lose the
drink and the front seat if he could over
come the disfiiiremeut and aged appear
ance of his head. Therefore, we advise
him to send for a free samplo of
"Luxura." and start his hair growing.
"Luxura" is the only honest hair grower
on the market. It stops itching, cures
dandruff, prevents hair from falling out,
and promotes a new growth. A written
guarantee accompanies "Luxura," pro
viding for the return of your money if it
fails. Price SI.OO, postage paid. Send
for a free sample, enclosing 2c. stamp.

JOHN BELLEZZA,
ROUND THE REGION
With a roar like the rattle of musketry
several acres of land and one dwelling
in Laurel Run borough sank into the
earth over the Red Ash Mine workings
last night. The real result of the cave
in will not bo known until the spring
rains remove tho frost from the ground,
when, it is feared, the ground will settle
many feet more and involve tho entire
town. The house which was partially
wrecked was occupied by John George
and Owen Owens and their families.
A needle Is likely to cause the death
of Miss Agnes Horan, of Mt. Cariuel.
Last evening she felt a sudden pain,
which increased until her body became
numb. A physician found a portion of
a needle protruding from her side. A
vain attempt was made to remove the
needle. Miss Horan is suffering in
tensely. It is feared that tho noodle
will reach a vital spot.
Recent experiments show that all
classes of foods may he completely di
gested by a preparation called Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely digests
what you eat. As it is the only com bi- a
nation of all the natural digestants ever
devised the demand for it has become
enormous. It has never failed to cure
the very worst cases of indigestion and
it always gives instant relief. Grover's
City drug store.
The 800 employes of the Dolph Coal
Company, at Wlnton, Lackawanna
county, have struck because the com
pany had failed to pay tho 10 per cent
increase in wages to a number of Its
miners. The company is said to have
aggravated the matter by discharging
the men who served on the grievance
committee during the late strike.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas joint
smasher, has sent word to temperance
workers in Sera 11 ton that she is going
there, and will prosecute a liquor dealer
of that city who Is advertising "the
Carrie Nation cocktail." Mrs. Nation
says she will demand SIO,OOO damages
for the unwarranted use of her name.
For the weakness and prostration fol
lowing grippe there is nothing so prompt
and effective as One Mitiule Cough Cure.
This preparation is highly endorsed as
an unfailing remedy for all throat and
lung troubles and its early use prevents
consumption. It was made to cure
quickly. Grover's City drug store.
Word has coiue from Philadelphia of
the death in that city of John McDon
ald, formerly of Pittston. Death oc
curred In a hospital thore after an
operation for the removal of a bullet
from the brain. The deceased was for
years a member of the United States
marines. During an engagement in the
Philippines lie was wounded.
The license court has refused fourteen
applications to soli liquor, ten in Ash
ley and one each In Butler, Black Creok,
H&zle township and West Hazleton.
Remonstrances against tho applications
had been filed by the Anti-Saloon
League.
Reports show a greatly increased
death rate from throat and lung troubles,
due to the prevalence of croup, pneu
monia and grippe. We advise the use
of One Minute Cough Cure in all of these
difficulties. It Is the only harmless
remedy that gives immediate results.
Children like it. Grover's City drug
store.
The contest of the cemetery authori
ties at Sweet Valley to prevent the in
terment of the body of Ralph J. White,
the convicted murderer who committed
suicide in the county jail, ended yester
day. The body was interred with tho
aid of the sheriff's deputies.
There is always danger in using coun
terfeits of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salvo.
The original is a safe and certain cure
for piles. It is a soothing and healing
salvo for sores and all skin diseases.

Mansion House fire, at Ashley, in which
Eugene Fenner lost his life, and $40,000
worth of property was dostroyed, has
resulted In the arrest of four men, sus

Persons who can not take ordinary
pills find It a pleasure to take DeWitt's
Little Early Risers. They are tho best
little pills ever made. Grover's City

day. Ho was cut. and torn in a horrible
manner and lived but a few hours.
Like bad dollars, all counterfeits of
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve aro worth
less. The original quickly cure piles,
sores and all skin diseases. Grover's
City drug store.
Return tho Overconts.
On Saturday evening two overcoats
were removed from the figures standing
In front of my store. The parties who
participated in this alleged joke are
known, and unless prompt restitution Is
