Nam. Two Best Friends.

Mans two best friends are said to be a
gun and a dog. 1t is easy to get a good dog,
but hard to get a good gun. The guns made
by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,
New Haven, Ct, are not only always good,
but they are acknowledged the best made in
the world. For years the Winchester has
been the standard of the world, and to any
points of superiority its popularity is not
hard to understand. The repeating rifles
and shot guns made by the Winchesters are
in demand all over the world. Although
they cost comparatively little, they are bet
ter than the highest priced hand MADE guns
in every way. Winchester ammunition is
of the same high grade as Winchester guns
and can always be relied upon. Send for a

To Sue for Forfeit Money.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24-Beside
what they term a battle for bread, the Of
6cials of the United Mine Workers have
arranged to make a battle in the courts
for money. 1t will be for money in
the hands of certain operators in
the Pittsburgh district, kept from
the wages of the men who
went on strike. In accordance
with instructions received from Ma
tional President Ratchford and the
members of the national executive
board, the local district officials nave
placed the matter in the hands of their
attorneys and suits are to be brought
for more than S12, 900, the amount
strikers have forfeited. The
suits will be brought on the
validity of ironclad contracts which
the men signed. In these contracts it
was agreed that, as a guarantee of good
faith on the part of the employe, the
employer should retain ten per cent OF
the employees wages. When the mel
struck this money was declared for
feited and withheld from them by tn
operators.

No Trouble Yet Experienced at Nc
Govern.

CANoNsBURG. Pa, July 24.-No trou-
BILE has yet occurred at McGovern. No
effort was made by the strikers to pre-
vent operations at the mines. About
500 of the strikers returned to Miller'H
Run and Bower Hill yesterday nor
ing to secure food and reinforcements.
A heavy rain fell Thursday night and
very much dampened the ordor of the
strikers as they were camped
in an open field. Orders We're
gwen by the leaders yesterday
morning to the effect that all
entrances to the mines are to be closely
guarded, and any miners caught going
to work would be halted and entreated
to join the strikers. If they refuse
force will be used. Should this plan
fail more stern efforts will be made to
compel the miners to join their ranks.
A brass band and drum corps enliv-
ened the scenes about the camp yester-
day morning, and a march was made
to the mine through the principal
streets and return.
About forty deputies are on guard at
Cooks mines. The strikers are quieI
and orderly, however, and do not maks
any threats of violence, yet they are de-
termined. No firearms were noticed
about the camp.

THE WAR FOR WAGES.

The Efforts Put Forth in Favor of Arbi
tratIon Have Resulted In q Signed Call
for a Meeting of Operators to be Held
on Tuesday Next-SItuation In the Dis
turbed Districts Presents No Material
Change.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24.-The situa.
ton in the district has not materially
changed. The efforts of the arbitra-
ton commission have been so far sue
cessful hal a call for a meeting of
operators On Tuesday next has been
issued. 1t is signed by w. P. DeArmitt
for the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal CO..; J Il. Zerbe for the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Coal Co.; E. b. Young
for NJ. A. Hanna & Co.; George W.
Schlendbery for the E. l. Robbins Co.,
and other leading operators of the
district. These names signed to a
notice of a meeting were a sufficient
guarantee to the attendance of the
meeting.
w. P. Rend will also be aked to sane
ton the signing of his name to the
call. He is now in Chicago.
The Canonsburg region has produced
no sensational features to-day. The
striking miners are still encamped near
the Allison and Boone mines to per-
suade workers from going to work, but
as the hearing in the injunction case
was postponed from this afternoon I'M
til Monday, there is little danger of
any conflict at present because the
mine have announced that
their mines would remain closed down
until after the hearing.
So far as the injunction is concerned
the strikers claim it will have no eff
feet, as it restraints them from what
they have no intention of doing. They
say that they will modest no one; that
they are content to wage a battle OF
peace and order, and that as they hav.
public sentiment on their side they ar.
bound to win. Should the injunctiou
be made perpetual the operators, it il
surmised, will make an attempt to r6.
sumo work. If they do there will be-
trouble, as long as there are any STRIP
ers in the vicinity of the mine.
There are vague rumors of a march
on the mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Co. There is Ne
doubt among those who are in a posi-.
ton to know that such a move is con.
templated, but just at what time III
kept a profound secret.

pivotal point.

The Grangers' Picnic.

According to previous announcements
the members Of Forest Grange, No. s55,
p. of H., held their second annual picnic
Saturday, June 5, in a beautiful grove
near their hail on Cropp Hill, il being a
beautiful day, just right for a picnic.
Patrons and friends began to assemble
and until high noon they kept coming,
when it was ascertained that there were
over one hundred pre- sent. Atlast prep
arations were made for dinner, and as ev
erybody brought well-filled baskets, the
feast was spread, and such feast, we
will leave the reader to imagine, as it was
too bountiful and tempting to describe.
To say that it was not a success socially,
Intellectually and "stomachatorialy" (this
last word means plenty of good things to
eat, and extra good appetites to enjoy it
would be anything but the truth. The
ebject or I should say, the objects, of the
picnic were first, to have good social
time and general public visit, and thus
get better acquainted with friends and
neighbors-our brothers and sisters by
the common bond of relationship, agri-
culture. In this respect we have every
reason to believe we were successful.
While the older members of our assem-
blage were busy chatting and talking
over common interests and enjoying
themselves in their own way, the men
ana women of the near future were maxi
ing good use of a large swing which they
had put up for their own special pleasure.
Our second object, and / will name but
two, was to have such speakers present
that we might by their aid convince the
farmers of this section that there exists
to-day certain great public evils, such as
eXtravagant use of public funds, unwise
legislation, and to show that farmers
themselves are greatly responsible for
this and to show them how weak and
powerless they were to combat, single
handed, the great powers that have
sprung up that threaten the homes even
of the most industrious tillers of the soil
and to show that organization is the only
way to combat unfriendly organizations,
and last but not least, that the grange,
which has been established in every state
III tilo Ohioui Is tl6 DeSt organization Inat
the farmers can possibly join to help
them regain the power that has been
stolen from them by those whom their
votes had sent to make laws in their in
terest in our State. Owing to the absence
of the State Lecturer till afternoon, the
program was not commenced till p. M,
when it was promptly responded to by
some very beautiful and appropriate
singing, alternating between addresses
delivered by w. T. Hill, State Lecturer,
of Westford, Crawford county, Pa, Rev.
Buzza, Farmer I. E. Dean, Tionesta, and
Mr.. Wheelock of Limestone Grange,
Warren county, Pa, after which the ex-
ercises were adjourned till $50 p. m.
When we again assembled in the hall we
had the pleasure of listening to very
entertaining and instructive lecture on
Pending Legislation, by w. f. Hill, af-
ter which everybody returned home feel
ing that they couldn't have spent more
profitable and enjoyable time anywhere
in the country.
