Striking Coal Miners.

A dispatch from Pueblo to the 7ri-
bune- Republican, dated the Gath, says: A
meeting was held here tonight to discuss the
coal question. It WAS supposed to be meet
ing Of citizens, but 1t turned out to be q meet
ing Of coal miners, or rather persons who
claim to represent the miners, although about
800 citizens were present. Messrs. Lewis and
Buchanan Of Denver, and Howells made ad-
dresses on behalf of the miners, stating their
side Of the case, and saying that they would
have what they wanted or they would turn
the State upside down. Mr.. A. II. Danforth,
manager Of the Colorado Coal and Iron Com
uany, was called upon and briefly addressed
the meeting, stating the company's position,
which was TO the eject that the company was
perfectly willing TO arbitrate with its own men.
but 1t did not feel like having Northern men
dictate to them; in fact, the Company had
arbitrated with It's miners, and they had gone
to work, but they quit again on an order from
the Denver Board Of Arbitrstors. The meet
ing appointed a Visitation Committee to solicit
aid for the striking miners. consisting Of
Messrs. Buchanan, Lee. Macon and Fletcher,
and the meeting then adjourned.

LYNcHbURG. Virginia, November %.
The following is from well-known preacher
In Southwest Virginia: "The latest advIces

misrepresentation, notably the one in
which il is stated that had great difficulty
in giving bond. This is a mistake, as is
also the assertion that L WIS compelled TO
leave town for a "solid year." l can return
to Appleton City any time l choose, but
was advised not to do so by
my uncle, Mr.. George Moody, be-
cause he knew that | would be subjected TO
constant insult from Wesson, especially
when he was under the influence of liquor.
My bondsmen also advised me to leave
Appleton for time, but told me when de-
sired to return, to telegraph TO one of them
and / would be met at the train. They also
promised In such an event that Wesson
would be notified to remain within his
own premises.
/ regret the trouble which has occurred
between my fsther-in-law and myself on
account of my poor wife and little
boy, but she will not listen TO my advice
to come and live with me and put an end
to the trouble. Wesson had boosted that
he would kill me, and as am not COW.

Every dairyman who desires to
make his business as profitable as pos
sible, should turn his attention to Sc
curing pure bred animals of what he
considers the best dairy breed, at the
earliest possible moment. 1t is an ex-
ploded idea that half scrub is better
than 8 pure bred animal. In breed
ing your COW select the very best pure
bred male to be found, no matter if
you have to pay good price for his
service when you could get that of a
scrub for nothing. Follow this plan
each year, taking care that the male
possesses merit and blood calculated
to produce progeny fitted for the
dairy, until you are ashamed to re-
member that you were ever satisfied
