 Eleven non union men refused to work any longer yesterday evening and joined the union, leaving only Henry Pruitt, T. $. Knotts and a few others of the old men faithful to the comp pany.
 An ultimatum was submitted to President Allen N. Johnson. fixing May 10 as the final day for an ad- iustment of the differences.
 This morning President Johnson notified those in charge of the com pany's interests that no one should be asked to take a car out if be feared any danger or trouble, and in consequence the power house was shut down and not car was run.
 Union Trans portation" brought out about fifteen vehicles of all sorts, hacks, buses, carriages, wagons and furniture vans, and all i are liberalIy patronized. The boy colt on the cars that were run yes terday was complete and thorough.
 AL 10:30 o'clock a petition was filed in Uaited States circuit court before Judge Williams for the ap- pointmen.t of receiver, on the basis of an unpaid balance of S5. 500 on judgment of $8, 900 secured by one Alexander Gordon in 1897.
 At 10 o'clock MT. Allen N. John son resigned as president of the Little Rock Traction and Electric Company and was soon thereafter appointed receiver of the property, position be has virtually held since his appointment in 1893, so far as continued litigation was concern ed, although the property has pass ed into other hands.

F. 3aise to take charge of the power house and per sonally assume the duties of general manager and superintendent. Messrs. W. c. Badger aud Andrew Colli4s not being employed by the receiver. The employment of all subordinates is strictly in his hands, acting under the orders of the court.
 The receiver announced that he would run the cars and would start them this afternoon.
 At 12:30 the citizens committee met, issued an address to the public recommending to the parties that they submit to arbitration and ad- turned sine die.
 The strikers having failed to se- cure the redress asked, it is under stood will continue tue boycot ard further developments are anxiously awaited.
 At 1:30 D. n. subcommittee of the original grievance committee met and formulated a request of Re ceiyer Johnson, that be treat with the strikers further.
 Seven cars operated by non union men were put out at 1:30 this after noon.

In the "other war.

Editor Murdoch of the Eldorado (Kan.)
Republican was a soldier in the War of
Secession. He has lively recollections of
those days. The complaints of the SOL
diers of the present day make him
tired" In his paper he says:
When we read about the extra rations
travel pay, women nurses, government
transports, Pullman cars and the like
now furnished to discharged soldiers, it
makes us huffy. 1t was different in 1864
and IS. We know a private soldier who
was discharged in Little Rock in Sep
TENDER, 1864. He got on top of stock car,
with his blanket, overcoat, knapsock and
haversack, with a chunk of bacon, some
bareback and coffee. It rained all the
way over to Duvalls Bluff. Two days
later he got onto Tighter" hitched onto
a steamboat with 300 or 400 other Kansas
soldiers. There was no awning over the
tighter" no stove and no place to fry
a piece of bacon or make cup of coffee
except on the Goals before the boiler fires
of the boat. when the negro roustabouts
were not showing in wood. An oyster can
answered for a coffee pot, while piece of
fat bacon, held on stick, before the fire,
did the rest. 1t took ten days to get to
ST. Louis; and during all these days and
nights this discharged soldier held down
his two-by-six place on the lighter" and
it rained every night At st. Louis he
struck out for thesNorth Missouri Rail
road, got into box car and was hauled
to the Hannibal and ST. Joe line. After
day or two he got over to st. Joe. Then
down to Iatan. He crossed the Missouri
on ferry boat and walked three miles
into Fort Leavenworth, carrying his bag
gage. Going 20 Leavenworth city he
waited day or two and struck a freight
team to haul his baggage home. He
walked home--a hundred miles-and was
glad he was alive. He didn't have a dol
lar when he got home, not even a cent to
buy shave. When he went over to town,
the next day, the "stay-at- homes Won
dered why he hadn't re-enlisted, as the
war was not over. And that is just what
the soldier thought He had served three
years. A week at home cooked him.
Back to Leavenworh he went and again
he held up his hand and solemnly swore
in the presence of Almighty God that he
would serve his country for three years
longer. Two months thereafter he was
in the battle of Nashville. A month later
he was camping in the mud and rain,
without tents and with nothing to eat, at
Bridgeport Ala. In April, 1865, when Lee
surrendered, he was in Chattanooga. The
war was now over, and he quit for good.
AS ID would take column to print how
he worked his way home from Chatta-
nooga, we will not tell II now But there
was no travel pay, no Pullmans, nor any
thing but 1900 miles of grief, spiced with
the Joyful thought that the war was over.
The soldiers Of to-day don't know what
war is.
