Strikers Reiterate Their Former Decision.
Situation Quiet.
ST.. PAUL, April 3O.-Another day in
the Great Northern strike has gone and
no change in the situation has occurred.
The company made no efforts to run
any trains from this point, and every
thing was quiet at the general Offices.
The striking employees still remain
firm in their position and absolutely de-
clined to entertain any proposition to
arbitrate the matter. That a crisis is
at hand can no longer be doubted, and
no one knows what the next "a hours
may bring forth.
Sunday passed quietly in the city, and
the employees of the Great Northern
who are out on the strike gathered at
Ldbor hall, where they held what might
be practically called a continuous all
day session, with recess for meal hours.
The first session of the A. r. u. was
Was called to order at 10 o'clock, and
remained in session until after. noon.
Grand Master Sovereign of the knights
OF Labor was present, and personally
stated that the message sent from Chi
cago was bona fide and meant Just
what it said.
From the tenor of the speeches made
at the meeting it seems as if the
men were more than ever determined
to stay in the fight until they win their
demands.

THE SITUATION AT ST. PAUL.
Strikers Hold a Meeting and
Again Refuse to Consent
to Arbitration.

ST.. PAUL, April 30.-A battalion Of
four companies of Third regiment
United States regulars from Fort SHELL
ing left at $50 a. m. on special train
OF the Great Northern for Grand Forks,
N. D. Major John H. Patterson was
in command, and the following CON-
prised the column: Company A, Cap
tain John w. Hannay; Company B,
Captain A. Williams; Company D, Cap
tain George w. Stouch, and Company
g, Captain Joseph Hale. There were
%O1 mel Il all, full hospital corps and
ratlons for 10 days. The bat
talon arrived on special Mil.
waukee train from the fort, and it took
about half an hour to make the trans.
fer. When ready to proceed it was
necessary for the yardmaster to set the
switches, as the train crew refused tt
do so. The officers of the battalion said
that their instructions were to assist the
United States marshal in the serving OF
processes, and that they would not take
a hand in the operation of trains. The
remaining companies Of the Third regi-
ment are held in readiness to be sent to
the front should occasion demand it.

WAGES RESTORED.

Engineers and F.remen to Get the Old
Schedule.
ST.. PAUL, April 30.-A number of
engineers and fremen called ON Mr..
Hill Saturday. They made no request
for restoration of wages, but assured
him that they would remain true to
their brotherhoods and to their agree
ment with the company. On invita-
ton of the president the full grievance
committees, headed by their chairmen,
Engineer Nolan and Fireman Upte-
grove, assembled in the office of j. O.
Pattee, superintendent of motive power,
shortly after o'clock in the afternoon.
No one was present except the COM
mittees, Mr.. Pattee and President Hill.
Mr.. Hill told the men that as the train
men were still receiving the old rates,
having never completed the vote on his
proposition for reduction, he considered
it but fair that they should likewise re.
ceive the old rates. He did not wish to
be partial in his dealings with the vari-
Gus classes of his employees, and would
not therefore hold the enginemen bound
to their agreement providing a reduc-
ton unless the trainnien were Similarly
reduced.

Several Persons X lied and Wounded at
Missouri Valley. la.
OMAHA, April 30.-In a fight with
thieves at Missouri Valley, Ia., the city
marshal was killed and two other pee
pie were desperately wounded.
For some time past burglaries and
petty thlevlng have kept the people in a
constant state of terror. The perpe-
traitors were tramps but all attempts to
arrest them had proved fruitless. Dur.
ing the morning the city marshal was
notified that gang of thieves was con-
cealed in barn on the edge of town.
The officer swore in several deputies
and proceeded to the scene with the in
tention Of capturing them. The posse
surrounded the structure and demanded
that the occupants surrender. Instead
OF doing so, however, some of the thieves
opened fire on the officers.
Two.Fatally Wounded.
One of the bullets pierced the breast
OF City Marshal Adna Whitney, killing
him instantly. Peter johnson, one of
the thieves was shot four times, once in
each thigh, once in the shoulder, and
once through the lungs. He will die.
Deputy j. B. Lyon, also received a
! flesh wound. Thirty or 40 shots were
fired, and then the men broke for
liberty. William Henderson, resident
of Missouri Valley, at whose place the
men were staying was believed to be a
party to the crimes committed, and he
and his wife were arrested. One of the
men who escaped was named Davis, a
resident of Grand Island, Neb. John.

will not be called off until the road has

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, April 3O.-The

groups of railroad men gathered on

everything will be peaceable" The

long before it arrived several hundred
railroad men congregated to meet the

taken the train out of St. Paul under
the impression and with the understand
ing that the strike was ended.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Lou McGregor,
otherwise known as the "St. Joe Kid -
was arrested on vagrancy warrant.
The police claim that McGregor has
been living in Chicago for some time
without visible means of support, and
that they wanted to discourage idleness.
Captain Duffy said there were too many
''pugs" in the city who never worked,
and that he was determined that they
should do some honest work or leave
town. Their presence here was a con-
slant menace to society and must be
stopped.

Young People on the Farm.
It is certain that the extraordinary
trend of human life from the country to-
the city will soon stop by the natural
law of supply and demand if it is not
otherwise checked. The cite. are al
ready overcrowded to starvation, while
in all the older states farmhouse after
farmhouse is found empty and abandon
ed to bats and owls. People of extraor-
binary capabilities are wanted every
where who, wherever they alight, can
make place for themselves. But the
problem is for just the good, we'll mean
ing, ordinary people to find foothold
in the struggle for life.
Much-almost everything, in truth
depends on their own will power. A man
can never be finally downed in life's bat
tie unless he himself first gives down in
his own mind. But the average man or
woman has no such will power, though
anybody can cultivate it. It is plain that
something ought to be done to lessen the
tide of human life that ceaselessly flows
from country to city. It can be done by
making farm life more attractive and re-
munerative to young people. The person
who cannot earn a living in the country
is sure not to be able to do so in the city.
Ways can be and must be devised to
make farming pay better and make farm
life more social and attractive
Rev. E. P. Powell believes the problem
can be solved by changing the course of
study in farm children's schools. Itnow
tends too much toward the old scholastic
ideas Of education. Mr.. Powell believes
that knowledge of geology is one of the
first branches the farm child should be
taught. Acknowledge Of the composition
of the ground which his father plows and
of the rocks about which he plays will
attach him to the soil with living inter-
est. Chemical, geological and geological
laboratories ought to be connected with
every country schoolhouse.
The knowledge Of zoology will make
the farm child eagerly seek the acquaint-
ance Of the birds, beasts and insects all
around him. He will lpok on them with
new, loving eyes. A knowledge of the
use of mechanical tools, a thorough
course in manual training, will unlock
treasures for him of which under the old
style of: sehseling he had little concep-
ti9n His whole brain will be frightened
up, and the .-esultswhl> be that it will
come to him in zine how to make the
farm pay: ." $500
