Thought It Was Gold.
From the vandalia Leader.


While workmen were sinking an air
shaft at Farber coal mine Saturday
they came across a quantity of very
hard clay in which was embedded
mineral that very much resembled
gold. In half an hour it was on every
ones tongue that Farber was verita-
BILE Klondyke. To say there was joy
in the old town but family expresses
it. Wat Grow, Editor Davault, Sim
Ross, Squire Jenkins, VIM. Machin,
Frank Osterhout, Capt. Gilliland, w.
T. Reighley and host OF others lost
no time In letting the outside world
know It. But the JOY was only for q
moment. An old miner came along
about the time the populace was
becoming hilarious and explained to
the people that the stuff was not gold,
but simply mica, one of the basest oi
baser metals.

THE PILL THAT WILL.
AN IDEAL WEDDING
Was That of Miss Virginia Hughes
and Mr.. Ernest Griffith, Which
Took Place at Montgom-
cry City Wednes-
day.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo-, Sept, 16.
Yesterday it was Miss Virginia
Thomas Hughes, of this city. To-day
it is Mrs. Ernest Sharp Griffith, of
Minneapolis, MINI. The wedding
took place at the beautiful home of
the BRIDES father, E. M. Hughes, who
is the esteemed Circuit Judge of this,
the 11th Judicial Circuit.
Rev. A. F. Smith, of Moberly, ,offici-
ated, using the impressive ceremony
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Miss Mildred Wilson, of Wellsville,
presided at the piano and with her
inspiring and artistic touch rendered
Mendelssohn's wedding march as the
bride and groom approached an altar
of flowers in the parior.
Misses Maud Norton, of Troy, Mo-.
Virginia McClearey, Miriam Owings
and Ada Jones, of Montgomery City
were maids of honor. They all looked
charming in beautiful costumes o.
white.
The bride was gowned in an elegan
dress of white silk organdie ovel
white duchess satin, trimmed in white
taffeta silk, wearing neither veil mol
gloves.
The groom wore the usual black
They were a handsome couple.
The long list of valuable presents
attested their popularity, many be-
ing sent from a long distance.
The wedding day is one that shoule
be ever remembered and held sacret
among life's anniversaries. 1t is not {
mere human arrangement, but by Di'
vine appointment. 1t is therefore
fitting that the occasion should b
made joyful and impressive. As Mir
and Mrs. Griffith left the BRIDES deal
old home, illuminated by parents
friends and flowers, it was the silen
prayer of all that Gods benedictiol
might follow them and that the dream
of early love might be realization
and a shelter in old age. II. @. T.

at yesterdays convention authorizing
the men to resume work in all mines
complying with the provisions OF the
scale of IS cents adopted at Columbus.
The remainder OF the 5000 miners Of

working days, cost the people of the
Pittsburg district from $4,000, 900 to

lost about g., 500, 900 in wages.

WHY THE STRIKE WAS ENDED.
The Miners National Board Gives Its
Reasons for Accepting
Compromise.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE
executive board Of the United
Mine Workers issued circular yes
terday to the miners of the country
setting forth the following reasons for
the recent settlement: That the mar
kets were being supplied, that the
Suspension was not growing, that the
miners could not be induced to respond
promptly to the needs of the hour,
and that those who did respond were
fast approaching the point of exhaus-
ton and could not continue the fight
much longer, that the supplies were
becoming 30 limited that pressing
want could not be appeased, causing
a resumption of work in many cases
at operators terms; that organized
labor was called upon to devote time,
men and money to their own affairs
and could not be reasonably expected
to continue indefinitely to fight min
ers' battles; that the sufferings of the
hungry men, blameless women and
innocent children appealed to the
leaders not to continue struggle
where the result would only be disas-
trous, entailing greater miseries and
more hardships.

The. Mexico Ledger is Not Fighting.

From the CIarksville (Mo.) Sentinel.
We are sorry to see two such
doughty warriors inDemocracy's cause
as Col. Sam B. Cook, of the Mexico
Intelligencer, and Col. R. M. White,
of the Mexico LEDGER, fighting one
another. We say to our neighbors:
There is q common enemy for us all
to fight, who is always awake and
ready to take advantage OF every
strife In the Democratic party. Bury
the hatchet, brethren, for the campaign
of 1898 is fast approaching, and we
should concentrate all our efforts to
defeat the Republicans next year.
Every effort should be concentrated
in electing Democratic House in '9s,
for said House may, in an emergency,
be called upon to settle the Presiden-
tial election in 1900. II we want to
fight two campaigns at the same time
the safest plan would be to elect a
Democratic House in 1898. Missouri
has at lest taken her place In the front
in the galaxy of Democratic states; ;she
set the mark for '96 at the Pertle
Springs convention, and the Democ-
racy of the east and south are asking
to-day CHOW stands Missouri on the
silver issue, and is she loyal to BryanT'
The best answer to this question
would be fifteen true and tried Demo
cratic Representatives from this state
in 1898, and an increased majority In
the state election, and this answer
can and will be given il theDemocratit
party of Missouri will present united
front to the enemy.
