Pittsburg, Nov. 3O.-The union miners

of the federal court, in Fort Scott, in
sentencing John P. Reese, a member of
the national organization. to jail upon
United States court in violation of an
order of injunction brought for the
Western Coal and Mining company.
A circular was published by the ex-
ecutive board of district No. IA, to the
effect that it would be the worse for
the district if he was not released. The
elimination of these threats came last
evening when a general suspension OF
work was ordered over the entire dis
trict on Monday next, if Reese is not
released. The suspension is ordered to
remain until Reese is released in an
honorable manner by the federal court.

Judge Williams in efhgy for his action
taken in the Reese case.
In jail today Mr.. Reese said he was
opposed to the plan of attempting to
secure his release on a writ of habeaS
corpus in the United States court, be-
cause he thought all federal judges
are alike" His only hope. he said, was
to have President Mckinley commute
his sentence.
added Mr.. Reese, will not weaken the
strike as is hoped by the coal cOmpa-
MES, but will strengthen the sOlidify it.
DebS six months Imprisonment made
more union men than his speeches
could have made in years. Many miners

THANKsGTVING LOGIC.

No matter how stormy and rough
The winter winds may blow,
The blossoms are biding their time
Under the ice and the snow.
No matter how dark the night
That rests on our bit of the spheres;
There is always a place some where
That the morning light appears.
No matter how troubled the life,
You can measure it well by the plan
Why surely in all of the world
1 am not the most miserable man.
And friends. let me whisper it low,
You'u wonder how mercieS will throng
If only yOu'u ind them q. place

LARGE REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Will Be $4,000 More This Month
Than In November, '9S,
at Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, Nov 30.-The receipts
of the internal revenue office for the
month of November will exceed those
of November for last year by $4,000.
This large increase in the receipts of
the Office is unusual and can only be
accounted for by the officials by the
fact that business generally is better
this year than last.
The increase is not in any one de-
partment of the revenue Office but all
of them show larger sales than last
year. In the stamp department No
Vember will be a record breaking
month in the amount of money taken
in for this apparently insignificant
item. Already the stickers that have
been sold amount to over $4,000. There
have been few months in which so
large an amount of money has been
collected for stamps and November is
one of the shortest months of the year.

The Death of Carlyle.

Uncle had not been considered seri-
ously i'll more than about fortnight or
so before the end. The vital spark of
life towards the last days kept flicker
ing in way so extraordinary that the
doctor declared he had never met such
tenacity of life and vitality in the whole
course of his varied London and other
experience. Dear uncle, the good, true
end noble old man that he was, really
suffered little in the way of pain for
some weeks before his death, which was
itself little more than a gentle flicker
ing sleep, ending in a scarcely heard
last sigh of sound. While lying in
comatose or unconscious state his mind
seemed to wander back to old AMMAN
dale memories of his ever loved ones and
their surroundings; his mother holding
her supreme seat surrounded by a
trooping throng of once familiar faces,
rot very greatly less dear to him. He died
full of years, with all his weary task of
worlds work well and nobly done, and
leaves no mortal behind him who does
not love and reverence his life and mem

How Dewey Got Coal.

Admiral Chen Commodors) u
left Hong Kong with the bunsere oi. all
his ships Ii led with coal. In aooition
he had collier, the Nanshan, which
carried about 3 0e0 tons. This was the
limit OF hls coal supply when war was
declared, ana 1t was assumed by many
that he would not be able to get any
more coal until 1t wss sent to him flom the
United States. But one afternoon a big.
bluff bowed steamer was sighted coming
in the Boca Grande in an uncertain,
hesitating manner, as though her cap
tain had lost his way. He came straight
on, however, and was finally overhau ed
by one of our steamers on picket duty.
The vessel proved 10 be the British
collier, Cyrus, Captain Simmons COM
manding. And when the jovisl captain
was comfortably anchored eff Csvite he

trouble he had had in getting 'scaptur-
ed" His owners had ordered him to 90
to Manila and allow himself to be taken
as pr'zs by Admiral Dewey.
"And blast my heyes," be said, "if 1
'aven't been cruising hoh Correpidor
Hisland for two days waiting for
bloomin' Yankee to come halong and
take me hinto port"
The Cyrus had about 600 tone of
good Welsh coal, go that Admiral Dewey
felt little easier in his mind about bis
fuel supply. Soon afterward the British
steamer Nyepza came along with 5 200
tons more, and finally sailing ship, the
Ellen A. Read, came in from Australia
with 5000 tons additional. These three
cargoes had been shipped or bought
after the opening Of the war, thus show
ing that coal could be obtained If it was
properly sought for.
