A General Strike of Western Miners
May be Called Next Week—Mine
Workers of Indian Terr.tory are
Among Them
INDIANAPOLIS: After being in
joint conference through committees
for nearly a week, the coal oper-
ators and miners at the central com-
petitive district convention, consisting
of Illinois, Indiana, O.hio, Kansas,
Texas, Arkansas and Indian Territory,
are no nearer an agreement upon a
wage sc'ile to go into effect on Apr:!
1st, than they were when the' former
Joint conference adjourned in disagree-
ment on February 27th.
The present wage scalo expires this ,
week and unless an agreement is
reached by the miners and operators
before Saturday. 225,000 union bitumi-
nous miners will be called from the
mines in the states named.
During the four days the miners am!
operators were in conference not a
motion or proposition offered by
either side upon the wage scale had
been adopted.
The operators have been confronted
with serious dissentlons in their own
ranks. F. L. Bobbins o[ the western
Pennsylvania operators has agreed
to pay an advance of 5.£5 per cent I
which Is the demand made by the
miners, but the operators in Illinois, j
Indiana and Ohio have firmly refused
to pay any advance. Under the rules
of the joint committee the commit- '
tee of both operators and miners must ;
be recorded as units and this division j
of the operators has resulted in the ;
defeat of every motion not favorable
to all of them.
Tho meetings of the point scale com-
1 mittee have been marked by many ,
bitter personalities between the oper- j
i ators. Mr. Robbins has announced j
that he intends to pay the increase *n
wages asked by the miners, not only
in the mines of the Pittsburg Coal
, company, of which he is president, i
! but also in his own mines in western ;
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. In- :
dependent operators in western Penn-
sylvania,, represented bv (J. A. Ma*
! goon, have announced their opinion
that they will pay the advance if M»\
TO HANDLE FARM PRODUCTS
Farmers* Union Sets Minimum Pric*
and Organizes Exchanges
GUTHRIE: As a result of the
recommendations of S. O. Dawes,
president of the Indiahoma Farmers'
Educational and Co-operative Union, •
in his recent proclamation setting a
minimum price for all farm products,
produce exchanges are being organ- j
ized by the farmers of' several coun-
ties for the purpose of handling their |
products and hc-\ling them for the
prices provided by the union. The
first one to be incorporated was from
Caddo county, where the union mem-
bers have organized the Centerville
Farmers' Union Stock company, with
$100,000 capital. It will have its placc
of business at U nger. A similar
organization will also be maintained
at Anadarko, the county seat of Caddo
County. President Dawes announct-s
that there will be a clearing house
of this sort in every market town of
importance in Oklahoma by May 1.
They will confine their activities
strictly to the products of the farm,
and will not enter the general mer-
chant! sinp field.
The American Society of Equity,
another fafmcrs* organization.which is
quite strong in some parts of Okla-
nu la carry in i out a similar ntftvojf
ment, and has also issued an ultima-
tum regarding minimum prices. I s
t plan will be more fully develops l at
its first annual convention for Okla-
homa, which is to be held at Okeene
on March 30 and 31. The society
claims 250,000 members in the United
States, all of whom have agreed to it3

SOME HIGH FINANCERING
Depositors Wanting Money Spoiled
Cashier's Efforts to Pay Out
GUTHRIE: In the appointment of
a receiver for the defunct Bessie
State bank, in Washita county, it has
developed that B. D. Matthews, tho
cashier and principal stockholder of
the bank, now under arrest for wreck-
ing the bank, had been performing
| feats of high finance which should
I have placed him high in the counsels
| of Wall street if his career had not
1 been cut thus unfortunately short.
The investigation of the bank ex-
aminers showed that he had borrowed
the money with which he purchased
I the bank stock in the first place from |
the farmers of the vicinity. When-
ever any of them insisted on the re-
! turn of their money be would pay it
! to them out of the bank's deposits.
I Unfortunately, they had been coming
' in too thick just before the examiner's
I last visit, and he had only $11.34 in

mine owners have also signified their
Intention to pay the advance if those
In their districts do so. Those of j
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio declare the); ;
can not afford to pay any advance
whatever and president Mitchell, of
the mine workers, has firmly declared
that no settlement will be made unless 1
an advance in wages Is given. Wheth-
er the officers of the mine workers
will allow the miners to ^ign the scale
and go to work in districts where the
advance is allowed is a question that
bilities of between $1,000 and *5.000.
So far as could be learned, Matthews
had not yet succeeded in paying back
all the money borrowed to buy tho
bank stock, even by using all c>f the
deposits for that purpose.

The firm of John Ntiveon & Co., of
Chicago, took 1111 option for their pur-

the purchase by reason of a defect in
their issuance. The statute requires
that a voter to be qualified to vote
for a bond issue must have property,
real or personal, subject to taxation.
The company declares that voter's
name must appear on the tax roll.

Juvcn.le Court Petition
GUTHRIE: At the instance of the
Oklahoma Children's Home Socb ty,
the next Oklahoma legislature will be
asked to enact a Juvenile court law.
The success that has attended the
Institution of such courts in other
states has prompted the decision, and
a start lias already been made on the
preparation of a bill which shall em-
body the best features of the similar
laws from other states. In view of
the vast amount of good accomplished
elsewhere by such courts in saving
Juvenile offenders from a criminal
career, it Is thought that there will
be little difficulty in securing the en-
actment of such a law.
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION
Superintendent Eercdict Would Have
Indians Ready for Farm Work
MI SKOGEE: J. D. Ilonedict. sup-
erintendent of schools in Indian Terri-
circular letter to the
rii'al schools asking
i them to pay special attention t'> the
study of agriculture. lie urges the
j teachers to give the pupils short tal':.-»
' on that subject, and let them tell or
write what they know or ean fin l'out
' about flowers, insects, birds and ani-
mals. Teachers are also asked to
give the pupils talks about the differ-
ent kinds of soils, how they are formed
! and what they are best adapted to
produce. Wherever a patch of ground
can be secun d the teachers are re-
quested to encourage the child'. ' n tC
plant, flower and veg< table gardens
and teach them how to best cultivate
various crops. Superintendent Hen-
edict hopes by encouraging the teach-
ing of agriculture to prepare the In-
dian pupils to farm their own allot-
ment".
A Terdlct has been rendered to
favor of the plaintiff In the libel suit
brought against the Ladles' Home
Journal (published by the Curtis Pub-
lishing Co.) by the World's Dis-
pensary Medical Association, of which
Dr. R. V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co.,
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number of the
Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr. Ed-
ward Bok. the editor, stated that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite prescription con-
tained alcohol and some other harm-
ful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had
opinion prevails that the first stages in the action alleged that the defend-
of the straggle will be a sort of ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
mutter. Dr. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol Is or ever was con-
tained In his "Favorite Prescription."
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele-
terious ingredients whatever; that Mr.
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medi-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial, the Vice-
President of the World's Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper. Black
Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of
pure glycerine. He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the Fa*
vorite Prescription" was a cure for .
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante*
version retro-version, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this
"Prescription." The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory.
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard riedical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur-
tis Publishing Company two month*
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" did not contain either alcohol,
opium or digitalis.
Bonaparte Shatters Traditions
Secretary Iionaparte has shattered
navy department traditions, which al-
ways have held it advisable to pro.
mote women clerks above the grade of
$1,200 a year. It became necessary
not long ago to promote a clerk to
$1,300 and the records showed that a
Miss Thomas stood highest in the mat-
ter of efficiency. Owing to precedent,,
however, a man was given the place,
but «ts f;oon as the secretary learned
!>f this lie promptly ousted the map
and gave Miss Thomas the promotion.
"friendly strike;" that the miners will
refuse to go to work while the con-
ferences in the east are still pending.
Operators are making no effort to re-
place the men. They say they are
perfectly willing that the mines be
shut down temporarily, as the usual
season of light demand is almost upon
them, and they can even make money 1
by permitting the property to remain
Idle for a few weeks. The miners
are not worrying over the prospects
of a strike. They believe President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers' associaton cannot afford to
surrender, having gone so far, but if
the question of continuing work at
the present scale was left to them as
individuals, they would unquestion-
ably vote to stand by the operators.
The mines are now being operated
full time, and have been since the
threat of a strike assumed large pro-
portions. The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad, hauling two-thirds of
the entire Indian Territory coal out-
put, now refuses to take commercial
delivery orders, and coal Is , being
rushed to all stations on the line,
where It Is being stored, and even
dumped on the ground. This has
caused considerable trouble to manu-
facturing plants dependent upon the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas company
for their supply. The Rock Island
road, penetrating the heart of the ter-
ritory coal belt, has not as yet
adopted such drastic measures for
self-protection. This railroad com-
pany Is not wholly dependent upon
the Indian Territory fields for its
coal supply.
The operators, themselves, are stor-
ing coal to operate the pumps during
the threatened strike. Almost every
mine In the district is troubled with
water, and it is necessary to keep
large pumps in operation night and
day the year round. Non-union engi-
neers will lie held in readiness for
this work, beginning April 1st, when
the expected walkout is to take place
C?rroll Made New Record
OKLAHOMA CITY: In a roping
contest, held at this place on the 25tU
inst J. Ellison Carroll lowered his
own world's record by one-tenth of a
second, making the throw and tie of
his seventh steer in 21 seconds, his
former record being 21 3-5 seconds.
The latter time w»s made at a con-
test in El Paso some time ago. The
roping contest was of unusual inter-
est, owing to the fact that on a wager
with a man named Thompson. Carroll
was to give <100 for every steer that
he failed to rope and tie in less tljan
forty-six seconds; every throw in less
than forty-six seconds was to win Car-
roll $100. If he succeeded in throw
ing seven out of ten steers in forty-six
seconds he got the money.
The Indian Territory Medical asso-
ciation, in session at South McAlester

"My work puts me out in all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
"For 7 years I was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eat-
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor-
ly cooked food, such as are the most
accessible to men in my business. Gen-
t rally each meal or lunch was fol.
lowed by distressing pains and burn-
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost un-
fitted me for work. My brain was so
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
mo to discharge my duties properly.
•'This lasted till about a year ago,
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad.
and I concluded to try It. Since then
I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev-
ery meal, and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have HtWo
chance to prepare our food in our ca-
booses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for it is ready cooked.
"To make a long story short, Grape-
Nuts has made a new man of me. I
. have no more burning distress In my
stomach, nor any other symptom of
indigestion. I can digest anything so
long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineer's watch, and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-
tirely." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
