Fakirs are coming our way like flies

directions with all sorts Of schemes
to get money from thefarmer'and the
whole breed from the lowlv tin pedler

sell worthless stuff or have scheme
for getting your note under condl'
tions. As the note is simply a plain
note of hand it is soon casheh at the
local bank and the fakir has gone to
pastures green. This is an old story
but it is still catching suckers even in
this enlightened country.
There are other schemes, some OF
which are new and when presented by
some smooth-tongued never-sweat
their attractions seem irresistible.
The safest plan is to never give your
signature to strangers and then you
will take no chances.

signs fail Dickinson county will have
two big crops this year-wheat anc
corn. The wheat crop is already
harvested and reports from those who
have threshed gives the average yield
at from % to SO bushels to the acre.
With the present prices it will place
a neat sum in the hands of the farmers

is in excellent condition and unless
unprecedented dry weather and hot
winds should come the crop will be
immense. Corn is in the tassle and
another rain ia week or two will
bring it through all right.
A Lyona man threshed wheat from
two fields last week, according to the
Hope Dispatch, from which he re-
ceived 40 bushels and 4S bushels an
acre respectively.

Moss, an old-time miner in this Sec

tells story of horror and starvation

He describes Klondyke as a placer

located in sink, walled in by boul-
ders of rock 5000 feet high. Gold, he
says, abounds, but no ordinary man can
stand the hardships of the uncivilized
region. When Moss left here four
years ago he was sturdy fellow over
six feet tall. From hardships and
privation he is cripple for life and
badly broken in health In three
years he saw over 1000 graves made in
the Klondyke basil., large majority

on the river, and succeeded in bring
ing the men at work out. A march on
the Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and
Sandy Creek mines is expected at any
time. At Cannonsburg twas reported

A Fairmont, W. Va, dispatch said

the Hite mine at Kings, on the Tygarts
Valley river. The sheriff was called
there yesterday afternoon, as the oper-
ators feared an outbreak, but no ar
rests were made Early in the morn
ing the drivers at that mine joined the
strikers. as a result of the efforts Of
Crawford Temple, Monongahela
miner. The operators secured new
drivers in an hour and at noon over
half of the miners came out. Then
the second lot of drivers threw up their
positions and some of the men began
stoning the miners, who were forced
to leave their work, and who had as
sembled in front of the mine. The
operators feared another outbreak and
called on the county officials for aid.
