MORE RUMORS OF
END Of STRIKE
Strikers and Trust Each Keep
Up a Bold Front.
STATEMENT FROM MITCHELL

Pittsburg, Aug. 2S- Probable
peace for the striking steel workers
within ten days is the interesting
topic in strike circles today, al
though there seems to be no
foundation for the theory.
President Shaffer said that while
the report might be true he had
no knowledge of it, and he did not
see bow peace could be affected
without the Amulgamated asso-
citation.
The corporation reiterated the
statement of yesterday that no
overtures for peace had been
received from the strikers, and
that the only way to end the
strike is for the men to return to
their places
New York, Aug 2S President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America has issued
statement in which he said that
the agreement reached between
the men and the operators in 1900,
amounted to $50 100000 annually
for 100000 men, secured by an ex-
penditure of 100000, which he
said was a larger dividend than
was ever paid by any of j Pier
pont Morgan's enterprises.

Conservative weakness,

London. April H.-The unstable charac-

a pointed illustration last evening in the
House Of Commons during the discussion
on money votes. Numerous divisions were
taken in a thlnned house, the government

one case. that of the reduction of the

governments war and financial policy.
The Nationalists were greatly disap-
pointed at the outcome, because when this
particular division was taken twenty -one
of their members were absent.

is really riding for fall. their whips

Another School District.

An application has been filed with
the Superintendent of Educa lion to Or
der an election for a separate school
district at Clarendon, which means
that the educational spirit has been
aroused in that section and the people
are determined to improve their school
facilities. We hope the effort will be
successful, because there IS nothing
which tends more to elevate and pros
per a community than good schools. 1t
is often the case when such 8. project IS
on foot, there will be found some who
object because of the increased taxa
tion, but if these same people will but
reflect, they will see that the improved
condition which good school brings
will far exceed the amount paid IN
taxes. The poor man with children is
foolish indeed to throw any obstacle IN
the way of better school facilities, be-
cause the less property he has the less
he will pay out for taxes and the more
children he has the greater will be the
benefit to him. If the man with prop
erJy is willing 10 pay the increased tax
in order to get good school facilities
and thereby enhance the value OF his
property, the man without property is
doing his children an injustice to COM
plain.
We are indeed glad to see the educa-
tional spirit strike the several commu-
mites in this county, for where 1t has
been tried new blood has been Infused
in things; the churches, the farms, the
shops and the stores have all taken on
new life. A few years ago the Salem
section of this county was without good
school facilities and the whole section
was backward and the people could be
picked out by their crude appearance.
Today they have one OF the best schools
in the county and the homes are beau
tilted: their farms no longer look dilap-
idated but prosperous, they have fine
churches and fine congregations. The
people are well dressed and are as in
telligent as you will find anywhere;
property is worth twice as much now as
before. and in neal every home you
visit you find musical instruments,
books, magazines, newspapers and cul-
ture. morals and intelligence, health
and prosperity, hold communion, and
all this happy ideal condition brought
about in few years by the enterprls-
ing spirit of a few who felt interested
in education.
In the Clarendon section where it is
proposed to better the school facilities,
we can say to those who will be called
upon to vote on the question, that there
could be nothing more encouraging to
other sections than to have q unanl-
NOUS vote for special school district.
Better schools are needed: we owe this
to those who have been entrusted to US,
and as business proposition wes need
first class schools to advance our ma
terial interests.
