Dairy.

For profit an old cow should be
killed as soon as her milk ceases to
pay for her keeping, without vast

the hide must be sold and carcass
cast upon the compost heap.
Scanty summer pasturage and a
diet of hay through the winter will
keep the hide and the body of the
cow together and cause her to yield
as much milk as goat, but she will
not be profitable in this climate.

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgencer,
sIsTERsvILLE, Aug, lO.--The great
fight between the speak-easy men and
the city and county authorities has
commenced, and was preclptated last
evening when the mayor sent the chief
OF police to several OF the saloons In the
city and told them TO close their places
at midnight, and keep them closed,
This would not have been so bad had 1t
not been that only a few OF the places
were ordered TO close and the rest OF
them are open to-day and doing busl-
ness. This, OF course, makes those who
were compelled 10 close q little sore,
and II is understood that the intention
is 10 make an attempt TO close all Of the
places or leave them all run until the
first OF next month, the time when
Judge Freer, OF the circuit court, or
dered all OF them to close up, or he
would send them TO jail.
The saloon question IN this city has
been a troublesome one ever since OIL
was found here, and II has been hard
matter TO control the business. All oil
towns are noted for being great saloon
towns, and of course when this town
was first opened up there were spenk-
easies all around. The city council and
the county authorities wrested with the
question for long time and finally they
solved 1t after fashion. 1t was de-
cided TO allow the places TO run and 10
fine them once q month. For the past
three years this sort of thing has been
going on and II is likely would have
continued, but at the last election
new set OF county otIicials were put In
office and at the first term OF court
over 1900 indictments were found In
this county against speak-easy men,
and the majority of the indictments
were against the people In this city.
When the cases came up for trial the
Judge gave them all fine and sps-
pended tail sentence, but ordered each
OF the places to close up within thlrty
DAYS or he would issue capias Tor
each one and send them to jail. one
peculiar thing about the places closed
is that all OF the proprietors are ne
publlcans while none OF the Democrats
were molested. ...
This afternoon n prominent attorney
of the city went to Parkersburg' where
Judge Freer now Is. and VIII ask ior an
Injunction restraining the other places
In the city from running, and II II IS
granted all OF the places will be closed
within the next couple OF days. the
case is commencing TO get interesting
and a great many people are an&lously
awaiting the outcome.

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 19,-The meeting
OF the local coal operators to-day and
Tonight will bring about one OF two re-
suits. Either arbitration will settle the
strike or the mines viii be started with
imported men. Tomorrow win decide
which course win be pursued. The op-
orators are evidently in favor OF arbl-
tratIon in preference to forcible open
ing of their mines. This was evidenced
to-day when Messrs, Murray and os-
borne, representing the meeting, wired
National President Ratchford at Column
bus, asking II Saturday next would be
suitable for q conference at Pittsburgh
Of both sides.
The Rend and Robbins interests last
night telegraphed Ratchford asking him
TO come 10 Pittsburgh to try and settle
the strike. District President Dolan fol-
lowed the telegram TO Columbus and has
been endeayorlng by personal persua-
sion to bring about such meeting. Do
Ian to-day telegraphed that Ratchford
was willing to confer, but preferred not
10 meet with the Pittsburgh operators
only, but with the Interstate represen-
tatlon. The telegram sent by the meet
Ing to-day insisted that Indiana and Hi
nois would not consent to conference
and 1t now remninB with President
Ratchford TO say whether or not he will
| meet with the Pittsburgh operators and
trust to the others to follow the decision
there made
II is believed that conference will bd
held here on Saturday because Just after
the session of the operators had ad-
journed, Col. Rend received a telegram
from his son Joseph. who is In Column
bus, saying: "Dolan says Saturday Will
be selected for conference. Executive
board will be in session tomorrow"
II Is inferred from this that Ratchford
has concluded to attend the conference
When Mr.. Dolnn went TO Columbus
last night he was given absolute au'
thority by Rend, Robbins and others &c
arrange for unqualified arbitration, and
he has been working TO this end all day
Should the arbitration meeting not be
arranged for, II was decided by the OPP
orators at their meeting tonight thai
immediate preparations for starting
| their mines Ron-unloH shall be begun
The meeting adjourned until tomorrow
morning to give time for Ratchford e

i'd succession by Messrs. Hendrix, Rus
sell, Leathers, Powers, Jordan and 9TH

MIR, Sherman's answer IL marked by
It's friendly expression toward Japan,
which gives special satisfaction In view
OF the somewhat strained relations re-
sultiRg from the previous correspond

Two features were brought out by the

however is coupled an assurance that
the interests OF Japan in Hawaii will be
fully safeguarded. II also eKpressea
satisfaction at the plan OF arbitration
between Japan and Hawaii. on the ques-
tion Of japanese immigration to Hawaii.
The answer ia largely an elaboration
Of Mr.. Sherman's former letter. and the
policies expressed In no WY differ from
those previously laid down by him.

special Dispatch TO the Intelllgencer.
cLARKsBBRG, W. Va, Aug. l9.-At
preclsely a quarter OF ten this morning
the twenty-seven striking miners who
were committed to the Clarksburg Jail
last night filed slowly through the prison
corridor and marched down toward the
United States court house, They were
in charge of six deputy marshais, and an
excited throng followed them, Sheriff
Lang said they had been quiet and or
derly while In the jail, and II Is thought
ly many that they are glad the order
10 imprison them was carried out, ns
they anticipate II will create u great
deal Of sympathy for their cause. In
fact. they already have many sympa-
thlsers. The miners have selected as
their attorneys John W. Davis, esq, late
professor In Washington and Lee Uni
verslty, son of ex-Congressman John j.
Davis, and Winfield Scott Judge Flem-
ing Is assisted In tho prosecution by
Hon. W. S. Meredith.
The crowd assembled at an early hour,
oud By the time the prisoners arrived
there was only standing room In the
court house and corridors. The trial
was called promptly nj ten o'clock and
the first move of Mr.. Davis for the de-
fense came as a surprise TO the other
side. 1t was motion to dismiss the
prisoners BECAUSE their arrest was ir-
regular. He maintained that a regular
writ should have been issued by the
court In each particular case.
Motion to Dismiss UreTTuleh.
After n spirited discussion Judge Goft
oyerruled the motion on tho ground that
the strikers were charged with dlsre-
gardlng an order of the federal court,
and the crime was that of contempt OF
court. The Injunction In question had
been issued and was law Of the land.
This being true II must be maintained
and protected whether right or wrong.
Courts may err" said the judge, ''and
courts do err, but an appeal may bd
taken to higher court and the matter
there corrected The question to bc de-
termined was whether these men had
witfmiy violated the order of the court,
on this the evidence would be heard.
Parties would cut no figure, the poorest
and most illlterate striker would have
his cause impartlally dealt with"
The entire day was spent in examin-
Ing Witnesses for tho United States.
The proof up to this point tends to
show that the marching miners had en-
camped near the Montana mines, that
they had done considerable marching
with drums and bands, carrying flags
and notices; that this marching al
though in the country road was along
the way the working miners must pass,
that they were lntlmldated by these
demonstrations and many were afraid
to 20 to work.
SO far the evidence fails to show that
the miners engaged In any dlsorderly
acts, or at any time went on the property
OF the mine owners. AT 6p. IN. the court
took recess until 10 a. m. tomorrow.
The Complalnants have not yet gotten
through with their witnesses, and the
defense will examine great many, so
the hearing promises to last all week,
The strikers were returned to the jail
tonight.
