There is only one thing in a Rub
ber Boot or Shoe that has any
wearing qualities, and that is Rub
ber. There is absolutely no wear
in any of the other ingredients.
There is only one way to reduce
the cost, and that is to take out
rubber and put in its place other
things in which there is no wearing
quality whatever.
Every time the quality of a Rub
ber Boot or Shoe is reduced 10 per
cent, its durability is reduced over
2o per cent,
s It is the falsest kind of false
economy to buy anything but the
purest Rubbers. Buckskin Rub
ber Boots and Shoes cost but little
more than other kinds, and are
sold by

THEATRICAL.
Den man Thompson has played his
4, ()1d Homestead" in every important
city on this continent and has achieved
a national reputation not equalled by
any actor in theatrical records. More
than this, he has personally endeared
himself to the general public and the
announcement of his appearance in any
city Is sure to awaken enthusiasm and
attract overflowing and delighted audi
ences, regular orthodox church attend
ants as well as the usual threatre pat
rons. This statement Is made In view
of the announcements made of the com
ing appearance hero of "The Two sis
ters," a companion piece to the "Old
Homestead"—written by Den man Thomp
son and his jolly literary co-worker,
George Ryer. Their names are an
assurance of its unusual merit and In
the very few places whore Demnan
Thompson has not personally appeared
the "The Two Sisters" will be welcomed
as a representative of the best work of
the beloved comedian. This play is an
nounced for presentation at the Grand
opera house on Friday evening and
should attract a tremendous audience.
t i t
"Side Tracked," the attraction sched'-
uled for tomorrow evening, contains
enough entertaining diversity to keep
an audience In Continual hilarity and
runs the gamut of sensation, farce,
melodrama and variety. A murder is
committed, a theatrical company have
a rehearsal at the railroad station, a
pretty lunch-counter girl falls in love
with a tramp who eventually becomes
as attractive a lover as any other girl
could wish. Pretty girls sing and dance
themselves into popularity and "Side
Tracked" moves along without a dull
moment, with the soubrette and tramp
in the lead. Sensational climaxes are
found In scenes of railroad contrivances.
The tramp's first appearanco is from the
doors of a passing freight car, and later
he is seen riding on the cowcatcher of
an engine as It dashes across the stage.

TESTIMONY FOR

Jeddo Operators Present Evi
dence to Commission.
Cases of Evicted Men Are
Again Taken Up and Re
told—A. C. Leisenring and
Geo. Kugleron the Stand.
The attention of the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission on Monday was di
rected to the claims and charges of the
Independent operators, the first case
presented being that of G. B. Markle &
Co. Ten witnesses for the company
were examined, the more important be
ing Sidney Williams, general superin
tendent for the firm; Gertrude Martin,
a professional nurse in the employ of
j thecompauy, and Frank Walk, general
storekeeper at Jeddo.
Samuel Dickson, counsel for the com
pany, sprung a surprise on the oppos
ing counsel by requesting the commis
sion to summon to tho stand D. J. Mc-
Carthy, one of the miners' attorneys.
Mr. Dickson stated that he desired to
question Mr. McCarthy concerning the
evictions made by the Markle company
and regarding a statement he had made
before the commission at Scranton.
Upon Mr. Dicksou's assurance that he
would not attempt to lead the witness
into any unprofessional act of state
ment, Mr. McCarthy took the stand.
He was asked when ho was first heard
of tho evictiou notices served by the
Markle company on twelve tenants, to
which he replied that all his informa
tion in this connection was secured as
attorney.
The evicted men told him they had
nover wittingly signed such a lease and
had never given authority to any person
to confess judgment In ejection.
"I believe," continued the witness,
"the men had a good defense, so I saw
the sheriff and asked him to notify me
a day or two before he served the notice,
so I could prepare the defense. He
promised to do so, but failed, and when
I upbraided him be said the writs had
been prepared at midnight and brought
to him at 6 o'clock In the morning with
instructions to serve tbom immediately."
Counsel for the company asked tho
witness if ho was not aware that judg
ment could not be confessed unless an
agreement had been signed.
"I have heard of forged papers," re
plied Mr. McCarthy.
"Do you mean to say these leases
were forgeries?"
"I mean to say I think the men were
grioviously deceived."
Chairman Gray asked if the men had
received copies of the leases from the
company aud witness replied in the
negative.
"These leases are commonly known
as cut-throat agreements," Interjected
Attorney Brumm.
Gertrude Martin, a professional nurse
of Jeddo, said three nurses were em
ployed by the company and their visits
and treatments were free to tho em
ployes. She said:
"I went to Jeddo In 1898 and worked
among the miners. I found the doctors
for Markle & Co. unusually well edu
cated, clever men. I have two asso
ciates and between us wo have treated
an average of 3,200 each year in miners'
families, all free of charge to the men.
In connection with our work we have a
sewing school for the children of
miners."
"Do you know if Markle & Co. ever
charged the miners In any way for the
services of doctors or nurses?"
"The men wore never charged one
penny for any service."
Judge Gray asked: "In visiting
miners' families did you ever seek in
formation outside your profession? Do
the doctors or nurses act as spies, as
has been charged?"
"Never. It would be against the
rules of my profession to seek private
information or to divulge any informa
tion that might be confided to me."
On cross-examination witness said she
had observed some cases of asthma, but
9he had no way of determining the num
ber except from impressions. She said
she was paid by Mrs. John Markle.
Asked whether the physicians received
all the money collected from the mine
workers for medical aid, she said she
was not positive, but thought they did.
William P. Meigs, manager of the
Bloomsburg Car Manufacturing Corn
pony, testified that his firm had built
mine cars for Markle & Co. from 1890 to
1896. Each car had a capacity of 146.37 I ]
cubic feet.
