Kditor Advkrtihkk:
There is intense interest in
Washington today in anticipation
of the conference which the I 'reei
dent has summoned, to c -ur
at the White House tomorrow,
between the railway presidents,
John Mitchell, presidents of
the I'nite 1 States Mine Work-
ers of America, and himself. The
invitations to this conference
were the outcome of several con-
conferences held this week and
which were attended by At-
torney (leneral Knox, Postmaster
General Pavne, Secretary of the
Navy Moody and Governor Crane
of Massachusetts. After care-
fully surveying the situation, in
the li^'ht of the special report
made b y labor Commissioner
Wright, these gentlemen unable
to find any ground on which the
Federal Government could inter-
fere. The coal mines were con-
structed as private property and
even if the right of eminent do-
main could be called into requi-
sition the state of Pennsylvania
would have to take the initiative.
On the other hand, every repub-
lican politician coming to Wash-
ington has impressed it upon the*
administration officials that if the
strike were not soon ended it
would have a serious effect on re-
publican success at the fall elec-
tions. It has so long been a re-
cognized fact that the republican
party stands for the capitalists
and the vested interest, that the
people naturally hold that party
responsible for the present con-
dition of affairs. This serious
aspect of the situation has moved
the President to take the action
outlined and it is believed that
the coal operators, while they are
unwilling to yield in the slightest
degree to the mine workers union,
wili d«em it judicious to do so
when appealed to by the Presi-
dent. They can then claim that
they have yielded to the Presi-
dent and not to the strikers.
The extraordinary method pur-
sued by the Secretary of the
Treasury, in his recent efforts to
relieve the money 'tringency in
Wall street have tton for him
the gratitude and support of th.it
element, but have at the same
time startled the more conserva-
tive business men of the country.
By his simple Secre-
tary Shaw has entirely departed
from the spirit of the law under
which government funds are
placed in national banks and has
completely changed their charac-
ter. Heretofore they h. ve been
deposits simply. Under the re-
cent ruling of the Secretary,
whereby the banks are relieved i
from maintaining tho 25 per cent
reserve required in the case ofj
government accounts, Mr. Shaw
has practically changed these de-
posits into loans secured by colla-
teral, consisting of U. S. bonds.

A Miraculous
Feat.
"It srrme 1 that nothing short
of a miracle coul 1 s.ive niy little
daughter from an untimely
death," sy City Marshall A.
H. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan.
"When two years old she was
taken with stomach and bowel
trouble and despite the efforts
of the best physicians we could
procure, she ^rew gradually
worse and was pronounced in-
curable. A friend advised
Muxes' Nervine
and after piving it a few days
she began to improve and final-
ly fully recovered. She is now
past five years of age and the
very picture of health."

t Ours Are the Biggest Bargains of All
To tho good |KK>pU' f liustrop County: We sue now prepared to

is lii}r«rer ;in<l better si'leetetl than we have ever curried for many years.
Our goods are new and up to date. Bought for less money and better selec-
tion than is carried by any house in Bastrop. We are not showing Cheap
John (ioods. but tirst class in every particular and for less money than
you are paying for the same goods at all the so-called cheap stores. If
you will only take a peep into our store you will be convinced that we
Have the nicest store in liustrop, and we guarantee you more goods for the
same money than you can buy elsewhere. Look at these prices:
which brought such odium to the
Alger administration of War De-
partment affairs, the General has
lost no opportunity of expressing
himself in unfavorable terms of
the present occupant of the White
House. It is not believed that
Gen. Alger would be successful
in the senatorial contest and,
therefore, he, by his courtesy at
Detroit, completely disarmed the
General's aminosity and in fact
won a warm friend and suppor-
ter.
Senator Harris of Kansas, who
has just returned from Kurope
where he went in the interest cf
the coming St. Louis fair, spent
several days in Washington re-
cently. Speaking of his trip
Senator Harris pointed to his
shoes which were American made
and which he purchased in Lon-
don for [20 per cent less than
they can be bought for in this
country. The Senator states
that he found numerous instan-
ces where similar conditions pre-
vailed and ho emphatically den-
ies that the goods cold abroad by
American manufacturers are only
tho surplus products, tie says
