who recently enlisted at Camp Hancock,
near Atlanta The young fellow joined
the army while the country was threaten

make a good soldier. One day he was on
guard duty and was slowly stepping
along wheE an officer approached. After
the usual salute the officer said:
Let me see your gum
The raw recruit handed over his Spring
field rifle and a pleased expression stole
over his face.
As the officer received the gun he said
in tone of deepest disgust:
you're a fine soldier! You've given
up your gun, and now what are you go
ing to dor"
The young Albanian turned pale and
reacassng for his pocket drew big SIX

said in a voice that could not be mis-
understood:
Gimme that gun or I'll blow hole
through You in pair of minutes! .,

Terrible Death of an Old Man

A west-bound freight train which left
here about o'clock yesterday morning, in
charge of Conductor Marshal DeHaven, a
short distance this side of Clear Fork
bridge, ran over and killed an old man by
the name of Brown, who resides at Knob
hester. Near the point where the accident
occurred is a side track and the train had
been cut in two in order to switch a num-
Der OF cars on to this track. Ii is supposed
that the old man, who, it is said, is in the
habit of walking on the railroad track,
stepped aside and when the detached per-
ton of the train passed him, he presumed
that to be all and again resumed the peril
Gus highway, but being somewhat deaf,
was just in time to catch the other section
of the train and was knocked down and
killed, not being observed by any of the
train men. His lifeless corpse was frst
discovered by the conductor. II was
placed aboard of the train and taken to
Knobnoster where an inquest was held,
the coroner's jury returning a verdict of
accidental death.

that in the interest of the business COM
munity of St. Louis and of the United
States in general, that the strike on the
Gould southwestern system of railways be

by congress to investigate the cause of the
trouble between the railway company and
its employees, made a similar request in
which they say: "The testimony taken
to-day by the congressional investigating
committee shows conclasively that serious
losses to commercial interests of the entire
country have resulted from this trouble
and large numbers of persons not connected
Herewith have been thrown out of employ
ment, therefore we do respectfully but
earnestly ask you TO discontinue
of your course to the decision that public
opinion may form when We make our re-
port"
The document was fully considered and
the following conclusion arrived at That
the matter be left in the hands of the
general executive board and they to set a
time and declare the strike at an end. They
have therefore, selected Tuesday morning,
May 4th, 1886, as the time when this

Kelk Bros. had a small sized strike on
their hands Saturday evening last, but it
was settled without Martin Irons calling
for committee of arbitration. 1t appears
that four lads employed by the Messrs.
Kelk have been receiving $3.50 per week
for their services. Saturday night they
demanded an increase of fifty cents per
week, and when it was refused they struck.
The outcome of the whole business was
the discharge of three of the boys, while
one of them went to work yesterday at
the increase asked. Judging from present
strikes and boycotts will not
fare well in Sedalia In future.
