MORE NIGHT ATTACKS
ON NON-UNIOH MINERS.
House Shot Full of Holes at Barns.
ley Tuesday Night.
ARMIsTIcE IMPERATIVE THERE.
Shooting Done by Three Men Armed
With Winchester Rifles.

About twenty shots were fired
by three men into one house in
about one minutes time at
Barnsley Tuesday night shortly
after ten o'clock. Nineteen
empty 38-callibre Winchester
shells and one that had been
snapped but did not explode,
were found in three piles at a
distance of thirty-five yards from
the house. One spent bullet
looked like 1t might have come
from a revolver but it might
have been from a rifle.
Fourteen rifle bullets pierced
the sides of the house, two went
through the roof and one through
the lower part of the fence.
Some of them passed through
both walls of the Laprade house
and struck the house standing
next, occupied by William San
ders.
Thos. and Ben Laprade and
Henry Wolf, all colored en-
ployes of the st. Bernard Coal
Co., were in the middle room of
the house asleep when the shoot
ing began. They were excepting
batch. " All three escaped in
jury although the walls of the
two front rooms were perforated
from floor to ceiling.
The armistice implied in the
published statement-''It is re-
ported that conferences have

have given assurances that their

Cigarette Campaign.

The Louisville Times states
that the Anti-Cigarette League
of Kentucky intends just as soon
as the schools get well under
way to renew the work begun
last spring. There are $4,000
members of the Anti Cigarette
League in Louisville.
The sentiment all over the
state, it is claimed, is against
the cigarette, and the plan is to
amend the existing law so that,
instead of prohibiting the fur
nishing of cigarettes to persons
under eighteen years of age, it
will prohibit the furnishing to
anyone, or, in other words,
make the law absolutely pro-
hibitory.
Leagues will be organized
throughout the state. Money
will be needed to push this cam
paign of agitation and education
and the friends of the cause will
be asked to contribute.

Better Outlook in Hopkins County.

Courier-Journal Of August 81.
The news that the union min
ers who have been camped at
Nortonville have been dispersed
by their officials is highly graft
flying. So large a body of union
men grouped near the mines
which are being operated by in
dependent labor was a challenge
to disorder. The devil is cred
tied with always having mischief
for idle hands to do, and in a
a place where there has already
been a good deal of violence and
where feeling has run so high for
months, the encampment was
naturally looked upon as a hostile
demonstration. Probably the
prompt dismissal of the band has
saved Hopkins county from fresh
scenes of violence.
The industrial situation in
Hopkins is a complicated one
and has been deeply aggravated
by the interference of Indiana
miners. These mines have been
very prosperous, and production
has so expanded that the United
Mine Workers, as might have
been expected, undertook TO or
ganize the operatives. The mine
owners objected to this and so
far have been mainly successful
in the conflicts which have re-
suited. The union men must
have had bad advisers, for they
have invoked or accepted the as
sistance of Indiana agitators, and
there have been repeated clashes
and several fights. Without un-
dertaking to determine the mer-
its of the quarrel it may be said
that it was a dangerous policy to
bring in outsiders. Strangers
have no business in family quar-
rels.
The miners have done so well
in Hopkins and opportunities for
labor have been so greatly in
creased that it is to be hoped the
troubles will soon come to an
end. The best that the future
has in store for these working
men lies in the we'll doing of the
mines. If they can enlarge their
output and. sell it at profitable
figures, wages will naturally rise
and opportunities for employ
ment will increase. The very
worst thing that can be done for
the operatives is to compel the
closing down or the Improbable
working of the mines. When the
proprietors are losing money it
needs no prophet to tell what
eventually will come to pass. The
action of the union leaders in
sending the campers home is,
therefore, a step in the right di-
rection.

STORM EVIDENTLY REACHED
THE WATERSHEDS.
Water Rushing in Torrents From The
Mountain Courses-Noeau could Not
Take Passengers at Honokaa.

The toughest kind Of weather is pre-
vailing along the Hamakua coast. Ac-
cording to reports brought this morning
by the steamer Noeau, that entire sec
tion Of Hawaii is receiving what is like
ly to prove the heaviest rain in some
seasons.
The Noeau arrived at Honokaa last
Wednesday. The rain was falling then
and was continuing with practically no
abatement at the departure Of the ves-
sci yesterday at noon. At that time,
the rain storm was still in progress with
no indications of ceasing for some
time.
The storm did not consist OF occa-
sional showers, but was a steady down
pour, with some exceedingly heavy
showers. The heaviest rain was on
Thursday night. Not a dry place could
be found on the steamer decks.
Judging from the statements of Cap
tain Wyman, the rain has extended
to Maunakea. On the last trip, there
was practically no water running in the
streams but on this trip of the vessel,
the water was rushing in torrents into
the sea, from all the various water
courses showing that the rain storm
had extended up to the water sheds.
The cane is looking fine at Honokaa
ana in fact at all of the plantations on
theHamakua coast, there being no evil
dences now of the drought except an
occasional patch of cane which was
dried by the hot weather
The weather was very rough along
the coast, and on Friday it became so
bad that it was impossible to get
freight and passengers out to the boat.
In fact Captain Wyman had difficulty in
communicating with Purser Simerson
and at noon it was finally decided to
get away from the dangerous place and
return to Honolulu The vessel took
all of the sugar which Honokaa had on
hand, consisting of SOB sacks, and arriv-
ed here early this morning
