Should it becotra necessary, all the loco

freight trains, cculd burn anthracite coal.

companies of that district, because it
will harmonize them and ultimately get
the price of soft coal where there will be
money in hauling it, as well as in min
ing it. The railroads are hauling at less
than a mill a ton a mile, which does not
pay for simply the wear and tear ot the
stock. Every one is glad that the strike
is so general and has excited such wide
spread attention from the public. This
fact will pave the way to an easier and
larger advance in the price of coal than
could otherwise be obtained."
Iowa Miners May Strike.
Des Moines, la., July 13. So far no
Iowa miners have joined the big strke
but they are likely to do so at any time.
There are 10,000 miners in the state, and
until coaldealers commence importing
into Illinois to fill orders where Illinois
miners are striking, little attention " will
be paid to the strike, as the Iowa miners
are not well organized. Their sym
pathies are with the Eastern miners,
however, and at several meetings held
in the principal coal centers, the opin
ion was expressed that it is time to take
action to help the Eastern miners by
cutting off the coal shipped East.
Mrs. Bradbury Is Off for Chicago.
San Francisco, July 13. Mrs. John
Bradbury, wife of the Los Angeles mill
ionaire, who eloped with W. R. Ward
and was subsequently arrested in this
city, is speeding away on an east-bound
train toward Chicago, free from the toils
of the law, and innocent, so the court
declares, of the crime charged against
her.
Ward, the man who induced her to
leave her borne, stavs behind, held un
der a cash bond of $2000 to answer to the
charge brought by the Society for the
Prevention of Vice.
Mrs. Banning, Mrs. Bradbury 's mother,
aided by influential friends, has accom
plished the purpose for which she came
to this city, and accompanies ber daugh
ter on her journey.
From the other end of the continent
Colonel Bradbury is said to be approach
ing his wife to extend in person forgive

be a reunion in Chicago and a brief tour
through the South.

UBEOOIK FOB HAWAII.
Administration Thinks a Battle-Ship Is
. Needed There.
New York, July 13. A special from
Washington says :
Recognizing the gravity of Japan's at
titude toward Hawaiian annexation, the
administration has decided to send the
big battle-ship Oregon to Honolulu . to
relieve the cruiser Philadelphia and the
old corvette Marion, now stationed there
The orders were issued by the navy de
partment Monday.
The Marion retu rns home at .once and
her instructions will go to Honolulu . by
the steamer leaving San Francisco July
17. The Philadelphia is in a very un
serviceable condition in consequence , of
her long anchorage in semi-tropical
waters. The Philadelphia will remain
at Honolulu, however, until the Oregon
reaches there, and perhaps longer.
It bad been intended by the navy de
partment for some time . to send the
cruiser Baltimore to Honolulu, but it
will take longer to make her repairs than
was expected at first. This unexpected
postponement of her assignment to the
islands has served a good "purpose in
allowing the navy department to send
the Oregon, one of the most formidable
ships in the service, without giving Ja
pan an opportunity of construing this
action as a display ofy unfriendliness on
the part of the United States.
In detaching both the Philadelphia
and the Marion, the navy department
will not weaken its naval force at Hon
olulu. The Oregon is more formidable
than both, and capable of combatting
any vessel in the Japanese navy. She
is so far euperior to the Japanese cruiser
Naniwa, now at Honolulu, that compari
son is ont of the question.
How Japan will view the assignment
of the Oregon to Hawaiian waters re
mains to be 6een, but it is certain that
if other vessels are cnt to support the
Naniwa the United States will respond
in a vigorous manner that will leaye no
doubt as to the determined policy of the
administration that foreign countries
must keep their hands off Hawaii.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have re
cently perfected an ingenious cure for
dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial con
sists of a food already digested and a
digester of foods happily combined.
The importance of this invention will
be appreciated when we realize what a
proportion of the community are victims
of Eome form of stomach troubles.
Thousands of pale thin, people have
little inclination to eat, and what they
do eat causes them pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the Shakers
corrects any stomach derangement at
once. It makes thin people plump.

WEBSTER GAVE HIM THE APPLE J
Got. Doty Planted the Seeds and from
I Them Grew a Historic Tree.
There is an old apple tree back of
the old Doty homestead on Doty is
land, in Neenah, which has a history,
gays the Milwaukee Sentinel. It is a
tree which grew from apple seeds plant
ed by ex-Gov. James Duane Doty. When
Mr. Doty was first appointed territorial
judge of Wisconsin by President Fill
more, and was about to leave Washing
ton, the great Daniel Webster shook
hands with him and bade him good
by, at the same time handing1 him a
large red apple. Webster then split
the apple in two and he took one-half
and Doty the other. The seeds from
Doty's half were brought to this place
and planted, and all there is left now
As an old, withered tree, almost ready
to fall.
The Doty homestead across the river
still remains, and is in a good state of
preservation. It is an old log house,
and before the new Roberts summer re
sort was built it was used as a sum
mer hotel. An old registry which was
used in this hostelry is still preserved
by Mrs. Roberts, and on its title page
are the autographs of some of the
noted men of the country who used to
come here to catch fish in Lake Winne
bago. Ajnong them were the names
of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, Gen. Anson
Stager, Gen. W. T. Sherman, Walter Q.
Gresham, William Pitt Kellogg, George
Jay Gould, Emmons Blaine, John B.

of others not quite so prominent.
