Alleged Violation of Agreement.

St. Louis, July 1O.--The strike
against the St. Louis Transit COM

was declared off July 2, was ordered
renewed yesterday at a meeting OF
the Street Railway Mems union at the
West End Coliseum. This morning at
five o'clock was the time fixed for the
renewal of the boycott on all the
company's lines. When the strike was
settled on July 2 there were some
mutterings of discomfort among the
men over the terms of settlement and
since that time the dissatisfaction has
grown daily, Charges were made that
the company had failed to keep the
agreement of July 2 and dozen or
more instances were cited tending to
prove that there had been breach OF
faith,

James Jptyrle. VIII Not Fight GINS Rubin
Because OF u Bad Arm-Ruhlin and
Ftxsimmons May Fight

New York, July 10.-James j. JEFF
fries will not fight Gus Rubin. This
decision was reached yesterday at a
meeting at which fighters, managers
and shareholders were present. JEFF
fries injured arm is at present in
bandage and the elbow joint is under
the treatment of physician. When
the fighters met yesterday each side
thought that match would be made
and date set for some night in Au-
gust. AL Smith held $500 of the
champions money and was ready to
receive a like amount from Rubin as
forfeit. Rubin was ready to put up
the money, but refused to do SO when
he found that there was a condition
that Ieffries would fight on any date
provided his arm was well enough.
Seeing no chance to fight for the
championship, Madden and Rubin
turned their attention to making
match with the next best man, Bob
Fitasimmons. They met with i'm
mediate success. Fitzsimmons was
ready to talk business at once and to-
day the men will meet and arrange
the details of the fight.

EXODUS HAS BEGUN.
Harvest Hands Are Leaving Kansas
for the East.

The exodus Of the harvest hands
has begun. The big rush is now over
and many of the men who came to
Central Kansas to "help save the
wheat" are going back to the cities
They we're mostly "broke" when they
came here, but now they are jingllng
coin in their pockets and many OF
them have rolls Of bills slowed away
in their inside pockets.
The eastbound freight train on the
Union Pacific last night took out a big
crowd of harvest hands. The num-
Der is variously estimated at from
$50 to $50. When the train pulled
out of Salina about 5 o'clock there
were men in every empty car men
on top and men in the caboose' IL
was a jolly, good.natured crowd
the men had money which they had
worked hard for, and many OF them
were glad for the vacation" The
crowd was too big for the train crew
to handle, and the only thing that
could be done was to let them ride
The brakeman went around and col
lected what money he could from the
"bums." They generally got 90 and
let it 90 at that. One brakeman is
said to have collected $40.
Many of the imported hands are still
in the country and will remain here
for several months. Farmers art
still stacking their grain, then will
come the threshing. Many OF tht
men who came west to work in the
harvest fields will 60 with the thresh
ing machines next. 1t will KEEP
hundreds Of men busy for some TINT
| to thresh all the wheat.

Washington, jay l0.-Thc Post TO-
day will priat an interview with Rep
reseDtatiye Richardson, of Tennessee,
who was permanent chairman OF the
democratic national convention at
Kansas City, in which he says, re-
garding the democratic platform:
''1he controlling reason for using
the phrase IS to 1 in the platform
was because some thought that, while
free silver was not the issue OF this
year, yet, were it omitted, the very
fact of the omission would give it
more prominence and possibly cause
it to be discussed more than if it were
simply repeated in the platform. The
argument was that if it were left out
of the platform it would be an issue,
but If It were put into the platform
it would be superseded by the great
issue of Imperialism"
"Will the platform command the
support of those who, four years ago.
broke away from the democratic
party?" Mr.. Richardson was asked
81 have been gratified," he an
swered, "to see that the nominees and
the platform have met with so great
favor with the eastern press. A few
have criticised, but It is only few,
and the great bulk of the democratic
press is once more to be in line with
the party. With this unanimity feel
quite sure that we can carry enough
of the eastern and middle states to
win the election"
Mr. Richardson plans to remain in
Washington for some time and to I'M
dertake actively the work of the con-
gressional campaign, which will be
managed for the democrats from
Washington.

nlnckening Ones shoes.

There are men In New York today
whose fortunes are not small, yet they
never pay bootblack cent a year for
shining their shoes. They IRE their
own bootblacks, and not one is asham-
ed Of it. You may depend on one thing
these men were reared in the coun-
try, where they were educated in the
use of the brush. said to IN acquatnt-
ancc some time ago, when he COM
planned that his 12-year-old son had no
exercise about the house, "Why don't
you make. him blacken the. family
shoes every mornlng?"
He was stunned at the suggestion.
"Nly son b!acken boots!' he walled,
throwing up his hands. "Do you think
I would disgrace my own boy? give
him 10 cents every morning to have
his shoes shincd at the corner where
have mine shincd."
l reminded him that he was teachin.
that boy to be an upstart and that lie
was giving him $3G.50 year which lie
stole from his friends. Blackening
shoes is splendid exercise. Many
ragged street Arab is too proud to do
1t because of some fool father like the
one mentioned, but such father
ought to he III the business instead Of
robbing his friends. Let every boy
learn to shine shoes. He may have to
make living at 1t some day. There
