An incident occurred a a restaurant last
evening which illustrates the folly of be-

shared by ones neighbors. There We're
two youths at one table who were talk
ing in German very eXcitedly about
some incident which 7 gathered to be in
relation to some ''frauleins" in which
they were talking a man and his wife took
places at the same table. The newcom-
ers were evidently Americans of the
West, very plain looking and speaking
with a combined drawl and nasality that
made their place of origin doubtful The
two young fellows at once took it for
granted that their opposites could not
understand German, and continued their
talk.

young fellows politely in English asked
the man to pass a spoon. The lady at
once replied in German to the effect that
there We're none to spare at the table
the youths. as the sounding German
words reached their ears, turning Grim.

haste possible. They had evidently beer

larger supply Of ore when the general
shut down was made than any other

to be the result as it is expected by
the best informed that most or all of
the mines will be running in from 10 to

properties being developed are not in
condition to ship, they can employ men
who can show their freedom from COM
plicity in the rioting of April 20. They
will not be required to take the oath
absolving themselves from the author
ity of the union. That order was only
directed to the large mines, but others
