A MOTHER.

II rained all day the day she died,
And yet she thought 1t sweet and fair;
She said the sunlight kissed her hair,
And then she slept, all satisfied.
1t rained all day; she woke again
And whispered that the sky was blue.
All, me! Thank God, she never knew
How cold and dreary fell the rain!
So like her life! 1t rained all day,
And yet she thought it all was bright;
Size loved and toiled through day and night;
Ellie never thought the skies were gray.

c. Y. Mcclellan, superintendent OF
the eastern division, returned yester-
day afternoon from Il trip of inspec-
ton over the entire division in his
private car. He visited all the opera
tors along the route and asked them
point blank if they intended to strike.
In case man would answer in the
affirmative he would be quickly in
formed that his services would no
longer be needed, and check was
given him. This had effect in some
places and the operators agreed to
remain at work. Yesterday, how
ever many who made such an agree
ment struck as soon as they ascer'
tanned the facts in the case.
"probably 20 operators are out or
my DIVISION" said Mr.. Mcclellan, "but
] have men in sight for all these
places. Men are coming from Chi
cago, Kansas City and st. Louis and
soon all the stations on the division
will be supplied with operators. Thi'
will be the case If the men do as they
agreed, and remain in the service o.
the company"
W. NJ. Coombs, chief dispatcher fol
the eastern division, reported that al
the trains were running satisfactorily
Some were late, but that was nat
ural consequence. He said that thu
plan had been adopted of sending
all the westbound freights over thu
cutoff from Argentine to Emporla
where they could take the double
track on west. The eastbount
freights will be dispatched on tn
main line.
The indications are now that tn
Santa Fe will have more strike trouble
before long II the present trouble
with the telegraphers continue. Dis
patches received here last night indi
cate dissatisfaction among the train

yesterday took decidedly roseate
view of the telegraphers' strike situa-

the strike was practically broken al
