The walters strike is over and the
employers have won. Many of the
union men are deserving. One of the
leading men said: 1.-THE strike must be
declared off or the union will 90 to
pieces. At least twenty five men de-
serted us Monday morning and went to
work in the grand, the Commercial and
other restaurants. 1t is as plain as day
that we can't win, and the men are
hustling to get something to do. Paesi-
dent Higgins and ethers<officers and
members, who are waiting for the Plan
ters' House to open, are not ready to
declare the strike off. The married
men and the single men who have some
respect for themselves must have work,
and they are going to get it. If the
union stands in the way the union will
get the worst of it. The men have
realized that the strike cannot win and
there is no use keeping it up any
longer"

The APPEAL can not in common fair
ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
Importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of q
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
as delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been. elected by
a slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the Importance OF
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.
stand.

Missed the Cat and Killed a Boy

a peculiarly sad and distressing accident
occurred at the residence OF Mr.. G.. b.
Walker, the weIl-known lumbermsn of East
Otterman street, on Wednesday forenoon.
Edward White. a young man aged about 16
years. had been shooting rats with double
barreled gun, when Meadie, the little 4
year old son of Mr.. Walker. told young
White that they had a cat which they de-
sired killed and went into the house to get
the feline. He repaired to The alley back of
the house. where he set the cat down.
White fred and missed the cat, which start.
ed TO run away. Having cooked the other
barrel OF the gun. he pulled il around. In
his haste not thinking OF the little boy, who
was standing about ten feet behind him.
BY some means the gun was discharged. the
heavy load of shot striking the child In the
mouth, killing him Instantly. His mouth
and chin we're torn away, leaving a CHASTITY
opening fully three inches wide. The feel
ings OF young White can be better imagined
than described upon realizing what he had
uniptentionalIy done. The dead boy was
carried into the house from whence, but a
short time before, he had issued full OF life
and happy glee.- Greens6ur9 Presa
