THE FIRST BREAK
IN THE RANKS OF THE STRIKING MINERS
YESTERDAY MORNING.
Four Men Return to Work at the Boggs Run Mines
-Pr,Sidsn. Moran Talks-Oher In
iaS;rial Notes

Yesterday morning the first break
was made in the ranks Of the miners,
who have been out for abOBt eight
weeks, at the mines In this vicinity.
The efforts to effect a settlement Of the
troubles between the operators and en-
ployes, last week, proved Hnayailing,
and Il Is understood that a number Of
miners announced their intention OF
going back 10 work at the operators
terms. Yesterday morning four men
went to work at the Boggs' Run mines.
Whether more will follow is matter
for conjecture, but q number Of the
miners seen yesterday expressed their
determination 10 remain out until their
demands were acceded to by the opera
tors.
There are in all about 275 men out in
this district, including those working
I'm the mines at BoggS Run, Elm Grove,
Moundsville and WellSburg. Their de-
mand was for so cents per ton for the
run OF the mine. A concession on the
part OF the mine owners would mean
the abolition of the present screw sys-
TEN, by which miners claim they do
not receive full pay for their work, as
only that which passes over the screen
is placed 10 their credit. The Wells
burg operators agreed 70 the terms OF
the men, and worked for nine days, but
then closed down.
The men all express themselves as
hopeful that the strike will be settled
in a short time.
PRESIDENT MORAN TALKS.
NJ. Z. Moran, President for West Vir-
GINA Of the United Mine Workers Of
America, returned sunday from Fair
mont, and was seen yesterday by q
REGISTER reporter Mr.. Moran was ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by the
officials OF the Castor Coal and Coke
Co., charging him with using tutimida-
tiOn and conspiracy I'm bringing ABOUT q
strike OF the men at the mines. HIS
hearing took place Saturday, and u. W..
Atkinson, OF this city, was his attorney.
Mr. Moran was placed under bond. He
saws the charge was not sustained, and
that there was no foundation for it.
Speaking Of the situation a FairmOnt,
Mr.. Moran SAID. "The companies are
making desperate efforts to get men to
work In the mines, and have surround
ed them with deputies. The men who
Joined the Union have been discharged
and blacklisted. The West TairmOnt
Company discharged Is men in the
spring for joining the uuion, and the
Castor Company followed by discharg-
ing men. The Montana Company dis
charged go or 90 men also, for the same
reason. The places of these men were
filed with foreign labor. The operators
seem determined 90 crush out organized
labor"
'Hcw about the situation in other
parts OF the State" was asked.
"Wel there are a number OF mines
in the kauawha district which are be-
ing operated on union principles, and
the men are confident that they
vii. win in the others. In the Wheel
ing district the men remain firm, and
will not go back until their demands are
recognized aud agreed 10 by the OPP
orators"

THE HORSE OF ALEXANDER TIE GREAT.
which is Greek for "buIl's head" The
king would gladly have bought the horse,
though the Thessalian asked an immense
sum for it, but none Of the courtiers could
manage the creature. Whenever any Of
them mounted him he reared and threw
his rider, with the result that he broke
some OF their bones.
Now, the young Prince Alexander. care
fully watching the horses proceedings,
noticed that ne swerved aside and became
unruly from fear of his own shadow, and
having asked and obtained his fathers Per-
mission to try his hand, he boldly mounted
the animal and rode him fall against the
sunshine, so that his shadow fell behind
him. BUcephalus, no longer seeing the oh
ject of his dread. became quite docile and
carried the prince quietly. The king was
so overjoyed at the courage and skill of his
youthful son that he presented him with
the horse, exclaiming, go, my son; seek
another kingdom, for Macedonia cannot
suffice for thee"
Alexander became much attached to his
horse, and took him with him through all
his campaigns in Asia. After bearing his
master safely through many conflicts Bu-
cephalus is said to have died Of the wounds
he received in the battle with Porus, the
Indian king: but Arrian, the historian Of
Alexander, says that ne died OF fatigue
and old age, being then about 80 years old
However that may be. Alexander was deep
ly affected at the lass Of the faithful COM
panion of his victories, and on the banks
of the Hydaspes he bai!t j city in his honor,
which he named Bucephala

Pears
Soap

People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets

ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong ; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.

Oriental Gardening,

N many of the warm countries OF the
east melons and cucumbers are raised in
great quantities. The beds of the rivers
and small streams are used for this pur-
pose. During the not weather these streams
are nearly dry, and the melons. gourds and
cucumbers flourish finely on the smooth,
sandy bottoms, while their roots penetrate
deep enough to find the necessary moisture.
Sometimes an unexpected shower in the
dry season raises the river and the whole
crop is swept away. The tender young
shoots are fine eating for small birds and
mice. and in some countries rough booth
or lodge is put up among the vines, where
boys sit and watch the vines to drive away
these little thieves The Christian Regis
ter tells that in Arabia they have a differ
ent fashion. A letter received the other
day from that far off land says: I'VE have
been for a walk TO little village of about
eight mud huts, two camelS, white horse
and three sheep. On the way we passed
the pottery, where there is q cucumber
field, hoping TO get some cucumbers We
cock them, as they are not good raw. The
bit of sand was inciosed with thorn
branches, and two cats were tied to guard
