striIsers on Trini.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE numerous
trials of the late strikers who last spring
participated in beating non-union
men, killing engines, derailing trains,
etc, in this city, were yester-
day pretty well disposed of in
the criminal court for this term.
For most of the minor offenses q fine
aggregating about $40 each was imposed
and most of the ring leaders had from
two to ten counts against them. To day
the more serious charges of riot and train
wrecklng were called and on motion
continued until the April term. num-
Der of those implicated were not abe to
give the bond required, 500 each, and
are now in jail, among them being Fred
Page, John Collins, George Mccullough,
Frank Neville, Pat Golden.

the middle is very often loosely covered
over with boards placed crosswise.
When the sun is shining the streets are
light CROUCH. but in rainy or cloudy
weather they arc very dark and gloomy.
and the peculiar twilight effect only
adds another element of strangeness to
the scene. Thank goodness. the streets
are we'll paved with smooth. grant flag
stones, one foot by three. and being
kept very clean there is no mud to plod
through, even when it rains. Pedes-
trianism is the order of the day. There
are no carriages, carts. drays, big
freight wagons, omnibuses. or street.
cars to run over you if you fail to get
out of the way. for all the freight is car
ried by coolies.
Now and then. however. your wool
gathering is disturbed by a stir and
loud shouting little way down the
street, and you see the crowd parting
to right and left. Then you know there
is sedan chair coming and you take
shelter behind = sign-board, or in a
friendly doorway. or hatten yourself
against wall until the peripatetic nui-
sance has gone by. But the streets are
30 narrow InaL cn6lFS are not very
often used. They move too slowly; it
takes too much shouting to clear the
way. and when two meet in narrow
thoroughfare one has to be side-tracked
before the other can go by. The use of
the chair. therefore. is confined to lazy
merchants and officers, weak women
and swell Europeans. For my parI.
would not do Canton in u sedan chair
if l could have whole set for nothing.
But there is one drawback to pedes-
trianism. As you pass along you are
obliged to be on the alert to keep from
coming into collision with half-naked
coolies. carrying all sorts of loads. All
loads are carried in the same way; every
school-boy knows it. SO will not stop
to describe il. No matter where you
20. you Can be certain that every few
minutes one of these coolies will come
putting and shutting along at dog
trot. shouting every few steps to those
in front of him to ''clear the track"
his load springing up and down. and
his bamboo Iathee creaking rhythmi-
cally at every step.-1he Cosmopolitan.

industry and thrift the following speaks
for itself: Within the past week have

in all kinds of vehicles loaded with fOl-
der. and l made it nv business to in
vestigate, when about the following dia-
l0gue ensued:
'Old man. what are you going to do
with that fO.ider?''

''What fOr?"
IL needs er little meat. and thought
I'd bring this here fodder up and sell
'em''

would need that fodder next winter aud
spring"

What are you doing on the farm

''Well yer see. we's done laid by

''While you are doing nothing at

make enough to buy your meat aud
other provisions?'
well, Pse worked hard all dis yer
and wants some rest"
Then you intend to sit at home idle
all the summer and eat up what you
have made and what you will need 50
much next spring?'
II cant work all the time. and I
must have some meat.
This is the way they do. Before
they will hire out for wages they will
sell the last thing they have around
them. including chickens. except tho
dog, which must be kept in the family
Mt any cost. When the first of January,
1887. comes these same darkies will
pounce down on the landlord for credit.
and he will have to buy corn and fodder
for them. They will trade OF the last
