The Strike.

The strike was practically over by
Friday morning Of last week. Near
ly all the roads commenced moving
freights on Saturday, although some
passenger trains were off yet on
Monday. At Fl. Wayne the trouble
continued until yesterday. Troops
had to be sent out from Indianapolis
to preserve quiet. A dispatch says:
"Thc strikers committee returned
from Pittsburg Tuesday and called a
meeting OF the men, who adopted
resolution to the effect that the strike
will be maintained, and the strike
continued until ]. ID. Laying promises
over his own signature, to make all
concessions originally demanded by
the strikers. This action was CON-
municated to Superintendent Cor
ham by committee appointed for
that errand. He gave no reply.
Your correspondent Is informed by
an official that they will never accede
to the terms sought to be imposed
by the refractory men. 1t has APP
pealed to thecity and county for pro-
tectian, and until that comes the rail-
road will remain closed, unless Gov
ernor Williams sends q force suffici-
ent to quell the mutiny, which he has
thus far declined to do. The strikers
will remain in complete control here
A number OF men have withdrawn
from the strike to day and got their
time from the company. Although
many men are anxious to work, none
will be found ready to risk an at
tempt to move trains, unless under
military guard. The Pittsburg shops
had been ordered opened to-day, but
the strikers notified the men not to
go to work, and the shops remain
closed. Dispatches received here to-
night say that the strikers at ALI
ance and Crestline are willing to re-
turn to work at any time.

We have heard lamentations be-
cause only two shows have visited
Plymouth this summer. Two shows
are two too many. 1t is true that
they afford the means OF few hours
pleasure to many, but in these hard
times for them to take from $4,000 to
$4,000 out OF the county and leave
only few hundreds it is bad policy
to encourage them to come this way.
1t would be worth $4,000 year to

The horse-race was failure on
lsst Saturday. The rain being too
heavy.
One day last week while d. l..
Dickson was unhitching his high
lifed grey at Inwood, he left the horse
united to put up the buggy, but he
struck for home, with the harness
tangled about him making the dis
lance six miles, in about fifteen min
utes, when he was captured unhurt.
The Knox Enterprise wants to
know why all the teachers in the
Plymouth schools are taken from n
distance. Probably those from dis
lance are the best. But il not there
arises the point that teachers are, as
a rule more successful when en-
ployed in schools away from home.
On the same principle that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country.

Enterprise spells medicine, "medi-
son." He should be kicked.
