STRIKE DRAGs ALONG.
Few Mines in the Pittsburg District
in Operation.

Pittsburg, Kan. May 1S.-The reports
on the strike situation indicate that
there have been no new accessions to
the ranks of the strikers. Wherever
the mines have been worked by men
who belong to the union the strike is
effective, but it seems that there are
not enough union men in the district.
or at least working for the companies
against whom the U. NJ. w. A. is at
war. in the union. Many union miners
consider the strike ill timed and of
doubtful issue, and although not work
ing, are not trying very hard to get the
non-union men out.
The miners at the Pittsburg Midway
mines at Midway had a meeting last
night to vote upon the strike and were
unanimously against a suspension. The
shafts at Fleming were idle today, with
the exception of No. 2. 1t is reported
also that the Kansas and Texas Coal
companys Nos 49, 55 and 1S, Weir City,
are running today with a half force.
At a meeting of the miners in Weir
City last night T. L. McManus, a prom
inent miner, was expelled from the
union for his action in opposing the
strike. Members of the executive board
are still confident of success.

Rise AND EXPLAIN.

In the organization of troops for the
Spanish war Governor Leedy refused
to recognize the National Guard regt-
mental organizations. He issued an or
der that the uniforms should be sent
in and the regiments be disbanded and
announced that National Guardsmen
might enlist as individuals but would
not be specially favored.
A storm of protests and criticism
descended which might have unnerved
a man of less obstinacy than Governor
Ieedy. He insisted and his orders were
respected.
Experience would tend to prove that
Governor Leedy was correct. No regi-
ment has remotely approached the posi-
tion for gallantry and valor won by the
Twentieth Kansas. Regular army Off
GERS have acknowledged the superiority
of the regiment. 1t could not be inn
proved upon Still that organization is
made up largely of men who had no
military experience whatever, prior to
their enlistment.
On the other hand consider
the record made by the Seven
ty-first New York. a National Guard
regiment Three of the regimental Off
GERS have been discharged for cowardice
in face of the enemy at San Juan hill.
The action of the officers was so dis
graceful that Governor Roosevelt in
approving the findings of the court
martial could not refrain from holding
them up to the scorn of the nation in
some pointed comments on the verdict
Does all this prove that training
man for fighting tends to produce the
opposite from the desired result2

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
The more a woman has her way the
less her way is worth having.
1t is only those who die old that
know how sweet it is to die young.
Women fear death more than dying:
men fear dying more than death.
Love has a thousand eyes and five
hundred pairs of smoked glasses.
The fewer faults a man really has,
the more he is generally willing to let
other people think he has.

SURVEYING TO EGYPT.
Southern's Engineers Pushing South
ward From AIIendaIe.

The Southern Railway is surveying a
line southwark from Allendale, via Brigh-
ton, S. c., and Egypt, Ga This route
on an air line, will carry the Southern TO
Jesup. where il will connect with the
Southern's line to Brunswick; or, if the
line is diverted a little from an air line.
1t will touch Va,dOsta, where it will have
a Florida connec don over the new road
from Valdosta to Jacksonville.
The actual location of the line, how
ever, is yet mere speculation. All that Is
known now is that preliminary survey is
being made as far as Egypt 1t is posi-
BILE that a connection may be made there
with the Central, and that the Southern's
tracks will be used to Savannah and the
Plant Systems south from here. This
would give the Southern a Florida con-
nection by building a comparatively short
distance.
The location and opening up of the
Southern's extension south from Columbia
is a matter of much interest TO Savannah
and people in this section, who will be af-
fected by it,
