Jacobs, of Hazleton, catne over from that city at an early hour this morning to make a personal Investigation of conditions in and around this town. He was cordially welcomed by the several hundred men who were on picket duty between Freeland and Drifton. He circulated freely among the miners and satisfied himself that the law was in no wise being violated here. The sheriff was alone, as his confi dence in the minors' intentions to do right and harm no one was such that he knew ho would not require a force to aid him in obtaining the information ho desired. At 7.40 o'clock ho boarded the Lehigh Valley train for Wilkesbarre, after ax- j pressing himself well pleased with the! order maintained by the strikers in the lower end of the county. Superintendent Edgar Kudlick, of Drifton, whose fertile brain is busy de vising new methods to aggravate the miners, drove up from his office this morning with one of his foremen. Ills object was to secure the names of the men who are on picket duty. He was met by a band of Slavish women, before whom he attempted to deliver an addresi. His audience, how ever, was in no mood to listen to the Drifton orator, and his voice was drown ed in the rapid-Ore fusflade of words which the women emitted. Half a dozen times the superintendent tried to tell his story, but tho Amazon band would have none of it, and with disgust and chagrin clearly showing on every feature ho turned his vehicle around and drove to Drifton, leaving the women undisputed victors of the wordy war which ho began. On his way homeward Kudllch met several groups of minors along the road. In his rage he so far forgot himself that he cursed and blasphemed the men and acted like a maniac. Those who wit nessed Kudlich's exhibition this morn ing allege that the superintendent has gone hopelessly insane. The effigy of the "scab" which was hung over South Centre street late Thursday night was missing this morn log. It disappeared as quietly as it appeared. A meeting attended by a majority of the employes of the D. S. & S. Railroad was hold yesterday afternpon at tho Municipal hall. The railroaders dis cussed the question of hauling coal and iron officers and special police from one colliery to another. They decided to notify Superintendent L. C. Smith that they would not engage in this work during the present strike, and resolu tions to that effect wore drawn up and unanimously passed. THE GENERAL SITUATION. The opening of tho fifth week of the anthracite strike fiuds the tie-up still complete, so far as the production of coal is concerned, while the situation as regards the engineers, firemen and pumpmen scores another victory for the United Mine Workers, as fully 5,000 of those employes have re ponded to tho call that went into effect on Monday last. It is estimated that loss than 2 per cent are now working, and these are found mainly In Pittston, North Scr&nlon and in the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western collieries. The interest that the railroad men arc taking in tho fight is bothering tho coal carrying roads.

STANDARD Your yMEMI Horse a Chance t jfmfr FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1902. Master Sargant, of tho Rrotherhood of Railway Firemen, is well known. P. 11. Morrissey, who is equally prominent in the Rrotherhood of Railway Train men, is about to make a tour of the an thracite region. A big mass meeting of trainmen has been called for Sunday next at Kingston. The number of effigies strung on tele graph wires and poles In pretty nearly every part of Wilkosbarro district wen? so great as to constitute a nuisance and they have been taken down by orders of the police. They are not countenanced by tho mine workers officials, and it is probable they will be discontinued. The condition of Charles McCann, the victim of the St&ntbn colliery shooting, remains about the same. Litllo hope is entertained for his recovery. PRESIDENT IS INVESTIGATING. President Roosevelt is said to be care fully watching the coal strike. That official Washington will take some recognition of tho situation now seems certain. It is not improbable that the case may in some form go up to the attorney general, as there is already ample evidence, take.n by officials of the government, to show that a combina tion of the road? handling anthracite coal exists for the purpose of controlling the price and output. That this combination, formed and operating in violation of tho Sherman anti-trust law and the interstate com merce law, is in a measure responsible for tho present strike there is no doubt, and It is in this connection that some official action may he taken pending toward forcing a settlement. The question is asked here why should great industries be threatened' with paralysis, why should the public bo made to suffer just because two powerful railroads see fit to stop the whole system of arbitration leading to settlement? These roads are the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western and the Dolaware and Hudson, and because tboy have refused to listen to arbitra tion the other operators have held out, ploadlng as an excuse lack of unity. As the president and others in official life pursue their investigation it becomes more and more apparent that the under lying causes of tho present far-reaching difficulty are not immediate, but go back to this combination of coal mining rail roads. Such a combination was found to exist, both by the committee of congress as far back as 1892 and the Industrial Commission in later years. It was the conclusion of the congressional commit tee that the railroad companies were parties to a combination to control the output and fix tho price of hard coal and that, moreover, the combination em braced all the roads connecting the anthracite coal fields with tidewater. That such a combination, harmful in its effect on the consumer, has also brought about a situation leading up to the present strike is now beginning to dawn on government officials, and it may not be found impossible to reach the operators, through tho Department of Justice, for violations of the common law in general, and the coal roads in particular. Double Wedding Today. At noon today Rev. J. R. Kerschner performed tho ceremony which united for life two young men of Oakdale to two young ladies of Drifton. The grooms were James and Theodore Thomas, brothers, aud the brides wore Misses Carrie and Mary Ilollner, sisters. William Ulrich, of Hazleton, and Mat thew Welch, of Drifton, were the groomsmen, aud Misses Chrissie and Sophia Hellner, sisters of tho brides, were bridesmaids. John C. Sippei and Alexander Heidenrlch wero the ushers. Victor Oswald presided at the organ. The unusual event took place at St. John's Reformed church aud was wit nessed by many friends of the two fam ilies and others. After the ceremony the wedding party dr>ve to the brides' borne In Drifton, where a luncheon was served and a reception held. Roth young couples will make their home in Oakdale. The Fourth in Freeland. According to the custom followed for some years past the Fourth of July will be observed hero in an appropriate manner under tho auspices of the Citi zens' Hose Company. A parade of the firemen and civic societies in the after noon will bo held, followed by fireworks and a picnic at the Public park in the evening. Invitations to participate in tho parade have been sent by the firemen to the various societies of town, and a favorable response Is expected from a majority of those invited. The firemen can be depended upon to arrange a creditable program for the occasion and to uphold tho town's repu tation of celebrating the day as it deserves. MELVILLE'S OPINION. Rear Admiral Says Miners Arc Victims of Idlw Agitators. Rear Admiral George VV. Melville, In an Interview with the Washington cor respondent of the Philadelphia Record, gives his opinion on the miners' strike In yesterday's issue. Admiral Melville was in town last week and delivered the Founders' Day address at tho M. & M. Institute closing exercises. While In this vicinity ho apparently tried to In form himself on conditions as they ex ist, and how well he failed is shown in his sentiments as expressed to the Record representative. Comment in the Tribune on his opinions would bo superfluous, as a perusal of the follow ing statements from the admiral will show: "A state of armed neutrality prevails in the region of Pennsylvania affected by the coal strike. I am sorry to say that my sympathy is with the mine own ers. From appearance of things it look ed like 90 per cent of the miners have struck without cause and against their will. "The 90 per cent of miners who arc j out wero induced to strike by a few idle agitators and others. It seemed to me as though tbey were making war on the women and children of the coal regions by preventing their natural protectors from earning the necessities of life. "Tho worst feature of tho strike ap peared to bo tho stopping of tbo en- j gineers and pumpmen who kept the j mines clear of water. The flooding of tho mines is a destruction of property for which the state of Pennsylvania will eventually bo obliged to pay, as there are several laws on that question. "The flooding of tho mines is also a positive injury to tho miners themselves because the timbers will become satur ated with moisture, making tho work more dangerous and the mines slimy and filthy and the breeding place of disease. When the miners resume work, therefore, they will find them selves almost in a death trap. "My sympathy is always with the working man because I am a working man myself, but there is a right and a wrong in all things and to my mind the striker in this case is In tho wrong. We drove from mining village to mining village and I was requested to observe the buildings In which the mine em ployes live. I found the houses greatl) superior to tho tenement houses of New York and Boston. The majority of the houses wero two stories high, most of thuui had lace curtains at the wind ows. "There was another class of houses, occupied by the laborers of tho mines and these wero poorer, but still very habitable, and, as in tho case of the houses rented to the miners, had veget able gardens in front and rear. These were all company houses." An Expert on the Coal Supply. In yesterday's issue of the Philadel phia North American our townsman, James G. Bohlln, In an able article on tho editorial page of tho paper, takes Psue with tho prevailing idea that the coal supply of tho anthracite region is nearing oxhaustion. Mr. Bohlin con tends that but a small amount of tho original deposit in the anthracite field has yot been located, and bo follows his statement with convincing proofs. Tho writer has made a life-study of tho subject and his deductions are on titled to consideration, notwithstanding the fact that they oppose the accepted theories of a majority of investigators. Mr. Rohlin's articlo will be found inter esting to all who take an interost iu the subject. Opera House Attaches. S. Woodring, who has been chosen by Manager U. S. Hill to bo resident mana ger of the Grand opera house next sea son, has engaged tho following staff for the house: Patrick Welsh, stage manag er; assistants, John Carr, Lewis Stultz, James Maloy, Dick Jacquot, George Yannes, Edward Murria, John Gaffney, chief usher, William Anderson; assist ants, Newton Robort*, .James Gillespie, Leo McDonald, James Bell, James Mc- Laughlin; electrician, Frank McLaugh lin; special officer, Philip Wackley; jani tor, Leonard Roczoskie.

TRI-WEEIvLY If You Have Pain In Your Back Do Not Be Deceived--You Have Kidney Trouble, and You Do Not Need a Physician to Tell You So. Lot us glvn you a piece of advice: Pain In the back is an almost infallible sign of kidney disease; a surer sign is the condition of your urine. If you have a pain in tiie back then look to the condition of your urine. It is easily done. Take a glass tumbler and lill it with urine, after it has stood 24 hours; if it has a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy, if it is pale qr discolored, stringy or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are in a dangerous condition and need im mediate attention, or the consequences may prove fatal. IJr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy is the one medicine that really cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep sia and chronic constipation, and it will take you but a short tria! to convince yourself of its wonderful curative power. G. F. Samutor of No. 4()'J Tioga street, Syracuse, N. Y., in a recent letter says: "I was afflicted for years with severe pains in my back and kid neys. I tried many doctors and many medicines, but, got no relief; for over two years I scarcely had a good night's rest on account of backache in a most distressing form. I bought a bottle of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy and com menced to use it, and I must say I never imagined I should find such a wonderful cure. Why I feel like a young mun again lu spite of my 59 years." All druggists sell Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy in the New 50 Cent Size and the regular §I.OO size bottles.
