Four or five union men pounded James Murdock up Sunday. When he got his gun they could not be found. Jack Finley and Bob Halstead were arrested. Murdock is not able to be out of bed. We understand that there is a deal with the Big 4 to lease the Hamilton Coal Company shaft and the J.

H. Durkee mines. At No. 7 mine the company is putting down a well 200 feet deep. John Clemens is doing the drilling.

At Norton's new shaft Mr. Norton says that he will pay every two weeks and give an order to any store in town, and will pay the same wages that the Big Four will. He wants 6 men this week and 7 the next. Tidings From the Corn Field George E. Barnes, a young farmer of Fawn Creek, and his wife were callers on Monday, and Mr.

Barnes brought us specimen ears and stalks of his prosperity corn. The stalks are sixteen feet high with ears 94 feet from the ground on one, and ears 11 to 124 inches long and big as stove wood. He has 100 acres of good corn and forty acres of this variety, a cross between the Golden Bean and a big Illinois corn, which he has been selecting and improving for earliness and size for five years, and this he gathered 108 days from planting. He has another new variety hard enough to feed to horses in ninety-eight days from planting. While here he had his photograph taken while standing beside the bunch of sixteen foot stalks, with his little son Anson, standing on a step-ladder, did not reach the tallest Tribune.

CYCLISTS' COUGH. Another Malady Has Overtaken the Rider of the Bieyele. The "cyclist's cough" is the latest ail ment to which wheelmen are said to be specially liable. For some years, we are told, doctors have noticed that coughs are more prevalent in summer than in winter. No doubt the exceptionally mild winters which we have enjoyed since 1894-95 reduced the recent average of lung complaints; but that dry summer should multiply them seemed inexplicable until it occurred to a docthat the majority of his patients were enthusiastic eyelists.

Since, moreover, the characteristic of road traffic in dry weather is dustiness, it was easy to arrive at the conclusion that the coughs were mainly due to irritation of the lungs, caused by the inhalation of dust. Nor does the conclusion appear unreasonable to the lay mind, for analysis of the dust of our roads has repeatedly shown that it contains in large number spiculae of triturated vegetable matter, such as would inevitably cause irritation when imbedded in the tissues of the lungs. When, too, we bear in mind how thiekly coated with dust a cyclist becomes after ten miles or so of the high road in dry weather, and how common it is to see him scorching by with mouth wide open, like a fish out of water, we can realize the terrible amount of dirt which he must swallow in the course of a week's hard riding. And that the inhalation of large quantities of dust may cause fatal illness is proved by the inquests which are occasionally held upon dustmen who have been suffocated from this cause. Such was the fate of a man named Wood at Battersea the other day, and we very much doubt whether any dustman swallows as much dust in a day's work as a London Globe.
