STRIKE OF COAL MINERS.
Half Million Men Out of Work in Eng

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Rumor has had it
that the great strike of coal miners that
begun on July 2S has been set
tied. These reports, however, are
not true. The price of coal is
rising in consequence of the strike
and this fact is causing a'suspension of
work in many factories in Lancashire
and Yorkshire. 1t is estimated that
fully 500, 900 hands who depend on min
ing, shipping and manufacturing for
their living have been thrown out OF
work through the strike,

RAIN is NEEDED.
Western Crops Suffering Greatly from
Protracted Droughts.

INDEPENDENCE, Ia, Aug. 5.-Over two
weeks of continuous dry weather is
having serious effect on this section.
Oats and hay are safe. All gardens are
dried beyond resurrection. Pasturage
is nearly gone. Unless rain comes the
stock will soon have to be fed. The
late potato crop is in critical condi-
ton.
PAXTON, H., Aug 5.-A drought has
prevailed here during the last two
months, broken only by light showers.
Rain is greatly needed for the growing
corn. Pastures are drying up and some
hay is being fed, although it is now
selling at $40 per ton. Without rain
soon great damage will result.

by making a stated distance of
good road, following each of the
most CONSPICUOUS highways lead
ing from the county seat, and by
grading a certain amount each
year, finally reach every section
of the county with good roads.
If our people want good roads
they can have them.
Our plan is to fix upon a day
and have public Improvement
meetings in every district in the
county. Let the citizens and
tax payers meet and draft resolu-
tions to be sent to the county
court, expressing the will of the
people and approving some
feasible plan Of road improve
ment. Why should this great
work be delayed for centuries in
the best county in West Virginia?
Can any one answer?
An expert says that on a paved
road in good condition thirty
three pounds of tractive force
will pulla ton; on an ordinary
country road fairly we'll kept,
sixty five pounds; and on a badly
kept road with loose surface it
may require double or treble
sixty five pounds of pulling force
to move a ton.
& Everybody knows that the bet
ter the road is the easier tits, that
is to say, the less power it takes
topull a load over it. In other
words. any gwen load is Tighten
ed by improving the road over
which tits to be drawn. As the
road is improved the load may
be increased without requiring
more power to move it.
Everybody would like to have
good roads in his vicinity,
whether for his business or his
pleasure or for both. but bad
roads seem somuch cheaper than
good ones and bad ones are al
ready athand without the trouble
of getting them.
Goods roads would come with
a rush if the people could be per-
suaded of the cold trouth that the
cost of bad roads is the HIGHEST
TAX THEY PAY and amounts to
MORE THAN ALL OTHER TAXES,
national, state and local, com.
bined. This country pays an
enormous tax in loss of time. wear
and tear on vehicles and horse
flesh and the periodical impossi-
bility of getting to market.
West virginia,s annual loss
from this source would stagger
its people If that loss could be
shown in figures. 1t cuts deep
into the productive industries OF
the state.

AS to the cause of hard times
almost everyone has vouchsafed
a reason, but the most of those
given have been far wide OF the
mark. Would it not be well to
come down to brass tacks, or bed
rock, and acknowledge the corn,
that one great root of the evil is
found in the fact that too many
people are trying to live without
work. The many consume while
the few produce. One oftenhears
the expression, The world owes
me a living and / am going te
have it. And it frequently hap.
pens that these prating fools are
compelled to go to the country

As lovely as the rose Of June,
She came about the days decline,
Where, sparkling 10 the summer moon,
The dewy meadow grasses shine
The pearly feet, that twinkled through
The fiow'rs SO lightly lit on them,
They shook not down drop Of dew
From cow-slip cup or cloycr-stem.
By yonder wayside hedge she came;
A moment there saw her turn,
Where cloyer-tops, with crimson fame.
Within the shadow shine and burn
The briar-rose above the siile
Hath somehow taken richer pink,
Twas there she pausel little while
With notwithstanding face, think.
Topeep at her the marigo.d
Tip-ioed upon the meadows edge;
A honeysuckle flushed and bold.
Came elambering oer the blossomed
hedge,
White lily leaves arc tumbled down
Along the footpath. velvet grassed,
Just where they fell to kiss the gown
That brushed them as my darling passed.
think the little winds, that stir
The petals of the dreaming rose.
Are odorous because OF her;
With purpler bloom the meadow blows
The very flowers she came to Gull,
The buttercup and Marguerite,
Than others are more beautiful
By reason of her passing feet.
