SENATE FEARS
THE MINERS
Store Order Tax Bill Is Re
ported Favorably.
Advocates and Opponents
Given a Two-Hour Hear
ing on the Merits of the
Measure.
Tho Ferrobct company stor tax bill
was reported out from tho finance com
miteo to the state sonata last night after
there had been a two-hour hearing of
the advocates and opponents of this
measure, which places a tax of 25 per
cent upon ail orders upon company
stores giveu to laboring men in lieu of
cash for wages. The committee adopted
an amendment offered by Congressman
Olmsted, aud the bill so amended was
reported out to the senate.
William Wilhelm, Esq., of Schuylkill
county, representing tho miners 1 union,
and Representative Ferrebee, author of
the bill, addressed the committee in op
positiou to company stores. "Where
the company stores are operated," de
clared Mr. Wilhelm, "the minor does
not act like a free human being. His
individuality is struck down and he
practically bocomes a serf.
"This bill," said Mr. Wilhelm, "was
passed in 1887 and again in 1897, but
both times It was vetoed on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. It is not.
for the legal representatives of the
company store to say whether or not
this bill is constitutional. Let that
question be met in the proper place, the
supreme court." Mr. Wilhelm closed
with a declaration that the bill should
bocomo a law in the interest of many
thousands of workingtnon in Pennsyl
vania.
Attorney Guy E. Farquhar, of Potts
ville, representing the Mill Creek Coal
Company, led the fight against the bill.
110 denied that the miners are compell
ed to buy at the company stores. He
asserted that ho could purchase whore
he pleased. He charged that the bill
was not in tho interest of miners, as its
passage would only add to their ex
penses.
"I do not hesitate to say," remarked
W. K. Woodbury, representing the Dob
son Coal Company, "that should this bill
become a law tho miners would be the
first to come to Harrisburg and ask for
its repeal." He said there was no de
mand for the passage of the bill coming
from the miners of his section.
E. I). Smith, of Pottsville, represent
ing the J. C. llright Company, pictured
the company storo as a blessing. He
said miners could got goods cheaper from
tho company store than they could else
where.
Representative Ferrebee made an
earnest plea for the passage of the bill.
Mr. Ferrebee said he was informed
that Governor Stone Is in sympathy
with the movement against the company
store evil and that in the event of the
passage of the bill the governor could
be countod upon to sign it. He told of
a strong sentiment among the miners
in favor of such legislation and of the
hardships they have had to endure
under the present system.
Ferry Won on a Foul.
One of the hottest glove contests ever
begun in this part of tho state came to a
sudden stop in the fourth round on
Monday evening, when the fifteon-round
bout between "Kid" Ferry, of Allen
town, and Jack Donohue, of Philadel- !
phia, was awarded to Ferry on a foul.
Tho exhibition was witnessed by
sporting men from all parts of the re
gion. Allentown also sent a very large
delegation. When tho curtain went up
shortly beforo 9 o'clock the opera houso
was well filled. The opening exhibition
was between the Paul brothers, of
Ha/.lcton, followed by Joseph Walsor,
of Hazleton, and John McCarron, of
If people only knew what we know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be
used in nearly every household, as there
are few people who do not suffer from a
feeling of fullness after eating, belching,
flatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, which, with no aid from the sto
mach, will digest your food, certainly
can't help but do you good. Grover's

McAdoo.
The contest of the evening began with

Slatington, and Ferry's by John Galla
-1 gher, Ed. Clancy and Fred Schwartz,
Allentown, and Peter Shoehan, Bethle
hem.
The men started in at the sound of
I the gong. Donohue was apparently tho
favorite of tho audience, but tho unex

- brought many people to his side and in
, a short whilo tho enthusiasm of the

She was searching for her cow along
the road loading into town from White

several blows by one of the men, while
the other relieved her of all the money
in her possession, amounting to
The men appoared to be tramps, and
after robbing her commanded hor to
walk a mile eastward, for tho purpose,
no doubt, of giving them time to make
good their escape.
Mrs. Curney obeyed the men, fearing
that she would be again attacked if she
refused. She walked to the junction of

thore turned and came back to town by

Shortly after the accident occurred a
force of workmen began to try to rescue
their unfortunato fellow-men. Three
eight-hour shifts steadily labored with
this end in viow.
At an early hour this morning the
work of tho searchers was rewarded by
tho finding of the bodies of tho three
men. All had boen drowned.
Back In the Grave.
After grappling in Orassy pond for a
couple of days the men who were search
ing for the body of Ralph J. White,
stolen from tha Sweet Valley ceuiotojy,
had their boat halted by the grappling
hooks becoming fast in some object at
the bottom. Tho objoct was hauled to
tho surface and it proved to bo the
coffin containing the body. It had been
dumped into about the middle of the
pond. The coffin had been weighted
with chains such as are used in a well.
The coffin was soinowhat broken, but
it was not opened and was taken back
to tho cemotnry and placed In the gravo
from which It had been taken. The
perpetrators of tho outrage havo not
yot been caught.
Some of White's relatives are now
guarding the grave. Those who are op
