DOWN IN THE MINES.
the Federal Court.


After only asshortl delay, the ST.
Charles mine has Lbeen started up
again. Even a fire doesn't stop the
st. Bernard Company long, so
great are their resources and recu-
perative power.
The U. M. WIS thought they could
see a little ray of light breaking one
day last week when the report was
freely circulated that several of the
small coal companies were about to
fallainto the hands of capitalists
who were union sympathizers. But
an investigation proved the rumor
unfounded, and that instead, a
movement is on foot to soon open
up another mine near Nortonville,
which will necessitate the moving
again of the union camp.
There may be some reason for the
contributions made to the disgrace
fund, by those residing in other
states, because they are away and
know not what is the true condition
of affairs in this county, but with
the dupes over in Muhlenberg
county, there can be none. They
know full we'll that thus far loss OF
several thousand dollars has been
their portion and that the mines OF
this county are not as near union
lied as when the agitators first
made the attempt, about one year
ago. Then there were one or two
miners partially controlled by union
labor. Now there is none, and nc
probability of there being one.
Quite q number of the miners
spent Thanksgiving day out in the
fields with dog and gun, but we are
inclined to think that the boys, gen.
orally speaking can shoot down coal
better than they can the feathered
flock. At all events the market was
not glutted with quail next day.
After a delay OF several weeks
waiting for some material, work will
again be resumed on the new tipplt
at Barnsley this week and opera
tions probably transferred from the
old to the new. Foreman Toombi
and crew are working with that enc
in view.
The threats made against the life
of Chief Harlan, by the u. M. WIS
only adds another one to their list
1t has become common thing tC
hear of threats being made by then
against the life of some of our bes
people, but thus far it has proved
only a bluff, and a form of intimi
dation that has caused the loss o
but little sleep.
Although the winter thus far ha:
been mild one, we hear Of no com
plant among our miners on account
of scarcity of labor, in fact the re-
verse is true. The demand for Goa
is good, and the natural consequence
is that labor is in demand. Th'
miners and their families are there
fore happy.

u1d aran-s saved BIS Money.

An old negro died suddenly in
Richmond, Va, recently. 1t was
thought he was in poverty little short
of what might be termed abject. He
had for years been subsisting in the
barest way on an income derived from
picking the feathers off fowls for
market. For picking a chicken he
would receive two cents: for a duck
or turkey, five cents. After the negro
was dead the people with whom he
lived went through his possessions to
learn the value of his property.
There were found in his old trunk
$500 in money and certificates of bank
deposits aggregating $1,000 The ne
gro left a fortune of 81 800 in money.
and as far as is known all Of it was
made by picking feathers from fowls

The Earliest Strawberries,

The past month has been exceeding
ly hard on the strawberries, early va
rieties especially suffering from the
severe drought. The trial plantation
of the University Fruit Farm is in a
sandy clay loan on the crest of ridge
with southern exposure. The land
was cleared year ago and 10 plants of
each variety were set out in the spring.
A good stand was secured OF almost all
the go varieties included in the planta-
tion. Four varieties have ripened sey-
eral bays in advance of the others.
These are Michael's Early, Excelsior,
Johnson's Early, and Earliest, the
last being the latest of the four. On
May 10, 90 fruits of Michel, 175 fruits
Of Excelsior, and IL fruits of Johnson s
Early were picked. On May 1s a sec.
ond picking gave, in addition to in
creased numbers Of these. over 200 bcr.
ries of Earliest.
In our grounds Excelsior is equally
as early as Michel, possibly a fruit
picking might be made day or two
earlier. They are about Of equal size
Excelsior grading a trife larger in the
first picking. Excelsior is brighter
colored, but less sweet. 1t should
prove in this soil an acceptable first
early variety. 1t has the advantage o
