ISHKOODA STRIKE ENDED.
Miners Override Knights of Labor and
 Return to Work.

The Ishkooda strike, which lasted for several months and resulted in the loss of life to several persons, is practically at an end
 A large majority of the old men have either gone back to work or made such a request and everything is moving along smoothly at the ore mines.
 With the exception of few men headed by Master Workman O'Keefe of the Knights of Laoor all of the men have noti- fled the Robinson Mining company that i. they are ready to return to work, and have declared the strike off. Master Workman O'I<eefe has declined to put the strike at an end because the organization has been ignored. Many of the men have quit the organization and have refused to recognze MT. O'Keefe authority. It is said that a meeting was held recently in which 1l7 miners voted to go back to work and three were in favor of holding out longer. Anon the three was MT. OKeefe, and the three representing the Knights of Labor refusell to officially declare the strike at an end. The others refused to follow the minority and notified the Robinson Mining company that they were ready to return to the mines.
 The company is now getting out about sixty-five tons of hard ore and is working large force of men. The furnaces have cut down their orders for soft ore and no more of this will be mined for the present.
 The strike at Brookwood and Mildale by the United Mine Workers is still on, though 1t is stated the Standard Oil company has somewhat increased it's output

THE INHUMAN WAR.

Writing to the New York
Journal, ex Senator John J. 1n>
gals has this to say of the war
in the Philippines
The conscience of the nation
is not interested. The appeal
to patriotism is not strenuous.
The field OF operation is far, and
the advantage of victory is
dubious, questionable and re
mote. Fighting Aguinaldo and
his savage hordes is like a con-
test with wolves. They assem-
BILE and disperse and re appear
unconscious of defeat and lndlf>
ferent to death. They are rein
forced by the hostility OF nature
by the fatal energies of the air
infesting where they fly and
poisoning where they repose.
People are beginning to Won
der why we paid 100000 to
Spain, and if the North Ameri-
can Indians held civilization at
bay in a hand to-hand fight for
two centuries, when will the ten
million PHILIPPINES be pacihed7
Were it not for the humiliation
and ignominy of retreat and sur
render, there would be an i'm
mediate demand for evacuation,
but pride Of race and dreams of
destiny and hunger for the horl-
zon and passion tor empire come
in, and the repleted regiment
will be filed up, and the ad-
ministration supported, even to
the point of discriminating the
insurgents"
But it would be better and
nobler and more in accord with
the teachings, of christianity
and enlightenment of civiliza~
ton to acknowledge our mistake
and suffer the sting of defeat
rather than have so many men
murdered in a cause for which
we can offer no justification.

A Pesky Nuisance.

In our rounds for news we can't help
noticing how merchants, public officers
and other business men are annoyed by
lOaferS. These fellows 60 into mans
house, take the chair from his desk,
rubber neck into any conversation the
proprietor may be holding, and frequen-
thy pick up private papers and look over
them. They lounge around the stove,
whittle and spit on the floor, discuss
peoples private affairs and make them
selves nuisance in ten thousand ways.
OF course business man don't want to
make anyone mad. He dOsent mind
fellows staying in his house if they
spend any money, but patrons of a
place seldom stop to lounge. The
loafer never has any money to spend,
as he makes nothing lOunging about
the fire. Another annoying feature is
the lOafers inclination to talk to EN-.
plOyees and mOnOpOlize the time they
are paid to put in working. A clerk
can't keep his mind on his work wher
some lOafer is casing with him ano
occupying his attention. The lOafel
problem is one hard to solve and Il
someone will invent an "exterminatOr'
he will make a fortune out Of 1t.

Unprecedented.

THE RECORD man made special
trip around town to see if any coolest
inhabitants" had experienced colder
or more disagreeable weather than We
have experienced during the past ten
days. All approached were free to ac-
knowledge it has been the worst they
ever saw. Several times the ther-
mOmeter has registered Is degrees be-
low zero and once or twice has it
ventured below that point. The snow
fell several days and reached an aver
age depth of ten to twelve inches.
People have Rugged the fires and re-
manned huddled together like sheep.
The most distressing part is the
fact that the coal supply was COM
pletely exhausted nearly week ago.
Dealers have made strenuous effort
to get supply, but the mines can not
fill the orders. One dealer, Mr.. Stone,
sent wagons to Stanford and brought
over enough to last few days, but
this was gObbled up in short order by
his shivering patrons.
The town and county officials have
had many applications for assistance
These have been granted when fOOt
was asked for, but, of course, no Goa
could be furnished. There is great
suffering among the poor classes
though everything possible is being
done for them.
Business of all kinds is at stand
still, and, as a merchant said to u
We are just burning out our remain
ing bucketful of coal and eating"
While little warmer today, yet ;
a heavy sleet is forming on the tree
and prospects of a let-up are slim.

stove Pipe Falls.

Sunday, just before services began
at the Baptist church, one of the
stovepipes fell, making much dirt and
causing little excitement among the
congregation. There are two stoves in
the room. They are wOOd-burners
and were put in the house in the year
1851. Mr.. T. w. Reid, of this city,
was running tinshOp at the time and
put the pipes up. They have never
been taken down since, and were, APP
parently, as good as new. The fact
that only wood was burned and the
work done in first-clasS manner &C
counts for the long life Of the pipes.
1t was suggested several times to take
the pipes down, but on account of
their history it was decided to leave
them undisturbed.

GENEROUS OFFER.
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co.,
Offers Great Assistance to
Our Citizens.

L. & N. officials gave give notice to
the public that, owing to the coal
famine in the mountains, they will
haul coal from Cincinnati, in limited
quantities, free of charge to any dealer
or consumer who may be able to pur
chase it there. As this offer is made to
people all among its line, of course no
community can expect great quantity,
but the officials will do their utmost to
prevent suffering. This action on the
company's part is worthy of the high
est commentator and the people
should never forget such kind act.
