TIHHE OMAIIA DAI LY BEE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER STRIGE HEARING RESUMED John M efl Estimates Tnoreased Coal Cost if Higher Wages Are Paid. » RENEW RUMORS OF PRIVATE SETTLEMENT Lawyers WAl Not Discuss Report, but One of Them Admits of the Sort in in the Alr omething SCRANTON, Dec. 3.—The strike commis- slon resumed today, and unless something r te done to curtail matters the proceedin - will ru into mext year With the reassembling of the commis- ion_teday, however, there was a reviv of the talk of ““a setflement out of court Nothing defiiite has been done and neithor side has approached the other so far ean be learned regarding further negoti . tions, but as one prominent attorney ex- preased {t, “There is something In the air.” The lawyers on both sides have heard thé rumor, but profess to know nothing about ft. Judge Gray, speaking for the commission, today again expressed the \ hope that efforts would be made to agree on a8 many points as possible and that the the commission was ready to lend any con cillatory help to bring about that end. Six Withesses Are Called. Six witnesses were on the stand during theday: John Mitchell, two photograph- ers* two' practical miners, one of them a Hungarian, and the wife of a German miner. Mr. Mitchell was called to show that a 20 per cent increase in wages did not meam a corresponding increase in the price per ton of coal. The photographers produced about half a hundred photo- graphs they had taken of the mine work- ers in the Hazléton region. The miners testified with reference to wages paid and working conditions - at the collleries of Coxe Bros. & Co., #nd the woman, whose husband is employed In the Coxe mines, told a general story of poverty. The commissioners are anxious for docu- mentary -evidence, such as wage statements and other data bearing on wages and con- ditions, This was strongly evidenced to- day when they esgerly seized upon the due bills handed up by the Hungarian witness. Every member of the commission ex- ) amined these and had questions to ask about them. It was decided to give all companies who have not been a party to the arbitration commission until 10 tomorrow to flle their answers to Mr. Mitchell's original state- ment. Estimates Cost of Coal. John Mitchell was called to the stand and sald 20 per cent increase in waxes would increase the labor cost less than 10 ) cents a ton. Taking Baer's state- ment as a basis he sald the increase would be about 17 cents a ton. He was crosé-examined by Wayne Mac- Veagh and other attorneys. In reply to a question Mr. Mitchell sald the companies were not averse to {ncroasing the wages of the men, but did not do so because they were opposed to the union. W. H. Deterry, president of a local unfon employed as a miner by Coxe Bros., Graf- ton, said company men we paid an aver- 01 $7.20 & week and a blacklist existed at the Coxe mines. He himself, was on the blacklist for nine months, because he refused to work a breast, which netted him only $3 a wi Ho also complained of the docking system. ® JTbe, compary, witness eaid, paid 90 cents 0 §1.20 a day, while I Insisted that the miner pay the same laborer when working for the miner $1.62 to $1.94 cents a da He was followed by Mike Midlik, Hungar- ian, who has been employed in the Coxe mines for four years. Mike, as the com- missioners familiarly addressed him. said he earned about $250 last year. He submitted his wage statements for —_——— A CAUSE OF HEADACHE. One Very Common C: Overlooked. Headache is a symptom, an indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difcult to lo- fate beecause so many diseases have head- ache as a prominent symptom; derange- ment “of the stomach apd liver, heart trouble, kidney dise: lung trouble, eye strain or tll Aitting glasses all produce he aches, and It we could always locate the organ which is at fault the cure of ob- stinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. *{owever, for the form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the. headunehe is located In back of head and neck it s often caused from catarrh of the stomach or live At any rate catarrh is the most common cause of such headaches and the cure of the catarth causes & prompt disappearance of the headaches. [ There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenlent and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy In tablet form, composed of anti- septics like red gum blood root which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels. i Miss Cora Alnsley, a prominent school teacher in one of our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for them. She sayi “1 suffered datly from severe frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times 80 Intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. 1 had suffered from catarrh more or less for years, but never thought it Wwas the cause of my headaches, but finally became comvineed that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever I had & cold or fresh attack of catarrh. “Stuart’s Oatarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a and pleasant catarrh cure, and after using a few 50-cent hoxes, which I precured trom my druggist's, L was surprised and delighted to find that bpth the catarrh and headaches had gone for good."” _Stuart’s Catasrh Tablets are sold by drug- glats at 50 cents per package, under the guArantee of the proprietors that they con- taln ‘wbsolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures), no oplum (so common o cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antiseptics necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhsl disease. + Jatoila A Most Narvelous Preparation For Shampooing, Shaving and Cleansing » Nebraska etate Board of Health Office of Treasurer. Beward, Neb., Dec. 1, 1902, Bankers Reserve Life Association, Omaha, Neb.—Dear Sirs 1 beg to acknowledge receipt of your check for $2,500, handed to me today by your representative, Mr. T. E. Hamllton, in payment in full of Policy No. 1155 issued on the life ot Jennle H. Cummins (deceased). The immediate approval of the claim for the amount of the policy and pay- ment by return mail on receipt ot proof of death, while the policy was not legally payable until ninety days, Is evidence of the promptness and business-like Hberality of the management in settling claims, which shows the confidence of pol- fey holders in the stability of the Bankers Reserve Life is fully justi- fled. 1 take pleasure in saying that it has a very large business and num- ber of poliey bolders in this see- tion of the state, who believe your worthy eompany has a great future, and that it will become one of the largest and strongest institutions of the West. Very respecttully, H. B. CUMMINS, Administrator. the last year or more, which showed the largest amount of money he recelved for any two weeks was a little more than $18. One statement showed that he made less than $3 . for two weeks, but he could not tell whether he worked full time. In the Coxe mine the mine workers were paid less than those employed by other companies, He did not earn enough money to permit him to journey to other places to look for a better place. Mrs. Mary Boland, the wife of a German miner, employed by the Coxe. comopanv. was the last witness of the day. She told & general story of poverty and said the money earned by her husband was not sufficlent to keep her family of seven chil- dren in good health. e e T e PN e e e e Amusements. e T — At the Boyd. “Pudd'nhead Wilson,” delightful in pros- pect and delicious in realization, fairly dripping with the exudations of the richest of humor, keenly satirical of a bygone day, and that without overdrawing the manners or customs of the people it presents on the stage—the name of that play s enough in itaelf to brigg aut:oog patrounge to any theater wherein it may be offered. A good company has in it an inexhaustible mine, and a bad company cannot entirely spoil iv. Between the homely but incisive, though never cynical, philosophy of Dave Wilson, the fatuous obstinacy of Yorke Driscoll and the satisfied self-sufficlency of Howard Pembroke, the first representing the hard- headed sense of the commercial north. and the other two the unseeing devotion to the traditions of southern aristocracy, tho warfare was like that ordained between the offspring of the woman and the descendants of the serpent, and it is drawn with master strokes in the Twain story, and the quin- tessence of the story is compressed in the play Frank Mayo prepared from the book. It tells a story that seems nowadays like the wildest of fiction, but which was not only probable in -the time at which it is Iaid, but is supposed to have actually had some little foundation in fact. Mr. Willlam 8. Gill, who assumed the name part, natur- ally suffers by comparison, but had Frank Mayo mot been such a favorite in Omaha, and had he not made the part and his own charming personality so inseparable, Mr. Gill's performance would eaxstly be accepted as most exceilent. Miss Suzanne Halpren, who takes the part of Roxy, ly did the star work of the cast last night. She is a young women with an excellent concep- tion of the dramatic possibilities of the character she assumes, and her presentation of it leaves little to be asked. The rest of the company is well calculated to support the two-principals. The engagement will close this evening. MAHER FALLS BEFORE CARTER Second of What Was teo Round Bout Fiafs) delphia Boy.

ROAD ‘MACHINE PROVES A MONEY SAVER | Councilman Declares Unpaved Streets Were Never in Better Condition at This Time of Year—Magic Clity Gossip. On account of the cold snap work on the streets practically ceased yesterday. Some men will be kept at work on street cross- ings, manholes, etc., but the bulk of the work on the streets has been done. Inquiry at the city engineer's office ehows that from August 18 to November 25 the city | road machine rounded up nineteen and one- | halt miles of dirt roads. The total cost of this work was $980.40. This averages about $50 a mile. In connection with this work o large number of holes in strects were filied A great deal of credit is due Mayor Koutsky and City Engineer Beal for the work done, s both visited the work and made an inspection each day. The street and alley committee must come in for a share of commendation, as the recommen- dations of this committee were only made after an inspection. “The unpaved streets,” eald a member | of the council last night, “are in better shape today than they ever have been at this time of the year. The road machine has done more work at less cost than ever before. The machine has more than paid for itself this fall. The management has been good and every portion of the city has been taken care of.” Now that the road machine has beeu sent | to the tool house for the winter, the street force will repair walks, lay crosswalks | when the weather permits and keep the crossings in the business portion of the city clean.

Prominent members of organized labor were present and assisted in accom- | plishing the organization of this new arm | of the American Federation of Labor.

Judge King Despondent. Yesterday afternoon Judge King sat cn bench with notliing to do but “josh” with a few police officers and the usual number of news gathers.

Arrests have been few and far between of late and those who have appeared before his honor have been let off with an admonition to o sin no more. While the police are as vilizant as ever there is little doing in the arrest- iug line and consequently the judge end his balllff spend the greater portion of each day in telling fish storles.
