Stuart sat looking at Eric with that
quiet gaze peculiar to him. do the
men want me to make a speech on the
situation?"
IL do not know just what they ex.
pect. They simply voted to ask you
to come this noon. 1t may be an op-
portunity for settlement"
Eric spoke slowly. Stuart suddenly
rose and went over and put hand on
his old acquaintance's shoulder.
Eric" he said. while sad smile
crossed his face and died out in its
usual thoughtful quiet, doesn't 1t seem
strange to you that we should be max
ing so much out Of such an affair as a
difference Of few cents more for q
days work? Is life worth having II II
must be spent in serious Quarrels over
such little matters"
Eric spoke almost bitterly. And then
he added bluntly, "A few cents day
may be little to man who has plen-
ty Of money, but it may mean the diff
ference between comfort and suffering
to the man who has almost nothing"
Stuart colored. but answered quietly:

me. l am ready to pay this difference

mand Is just"

them So"

land tomorrow. Eric"
'lf all the owners were like you, the
strike would not hold out long" said
Eric as he rose to 60. He had a great
deal to do to prepare for the noon meet
ing, and in spite of Stuart's urging him
to remain longer he went away. There
was still gap between the two. They
did not feel easy in each others pres.
ence. Eric had not spoken Of the first
meeting they had. and Stuart, while
feeling differently about it, had not ap.
preached the subject
He told Louise of his invitation to
speak to the men at the park and went
out after little while, intending to 60
up on one Of the hills and think for
himself. But as he drove out into the
road he changed his mind and went
down into the town and up into DR..
Saxon's office. He thought he would
ask his advice in the matter.
The doctor was alone, which was a
rare circumstance with him. He greet
ed Stuart with the familiarity which
came from lifelong acquaintance.

to trample on the feelings Of the poor

by a thump on the door that might

club.
"Come In" shouted the doctor.
"Here's one Of 'em nOw." he said to
Stuart in a low tone. watch me deal
with him"
The door opened. and In shambled a
man Of enormous build. He had great
mass Of tangled yellow hair on his
head, and his beard was Of the same
color. He was fully 6 feet inches in
height and had astonishingly long arms
and large feet. Stuart sat back in the
window seat looking on, and, although
he was running over in his mind what
he would say to the men, he could not
help smiling at the scene that followed.
II come to fill the bottle, DOCTOR" was
the quiet remark of the big miner.
The doctor made no motion to take
the bottle which the man pulled out Of
his vest pocket and stood holding awk-
wardly between his two hands.
"YOu can move out Of here with your
bottle, Sanders. I'm not filling any
bottles any more"
"Since when?" asked Sanders slowly.
"Since this strike, this nonsensical,
foolish business Of yours and the rest

drugs and medicines and sew you fel-
lows up and ill you up with costly
preparations while I'm not getting any

Sanders without a word backed to-
ward the door. The doctor wheeled
around toward his desk and began to
hum a tune. Just as the miner laid
his hand on the doorknob the doctor
turned his head and shouted, "What

the feeling that before the week was
gone he might come face to face with
the greatest fact of his life.
As he stood there thinking 1t all over
the bell rang, and one of the servants
came and said that Eric was at the
door. Stuart went himself out into the
hall.
"Come In, Eric" he said quietly.
Eric came in, and the two men shook
hands silently. Since Ross Duncan's
death these two had met several times,
and 1t seemed as If the old family re.
lation between them might be possible
again. There was, however, still a
serious barrier, caused by the condi.
tions that surrounded the two men.

Eric, with his usual directness, ito tell
you that the men want you to speak
to them at the park today at noon."
Stuart was surprised. 81 thought
the men would not admit any one to
the speaking stand except those Of
their own number"

only one, or you will be IL you come to

asked the question not feeling just sure
that he cared to 60.
Eric did not reply Immediately. He
seemed to be waiting for Stuart to say
something more.

waterworks for sonaparte.

Bonaparte, Feb 26.-Bonaparte this
spring viii commence operations for
the construction of its municipal wat
er works plant. Ten thousand will be
spent on it this year. This amount
will not complete the plant but it will
be enough to afford water supply
sufficient for fire protection. In lieu
of a reservoir stand-pipe will be
built, which will be located on the
highest available point, OF near the
public school building. The plant will
be so designated that necessary addi-
lions may be made. Meek Bros. will
furnish the necessary power for a
period Of five years, after which time
the city has the privilege of renewing
the contract or erecting it's own pow
er house. Bonaparte has had several
bad fires and the completion of the
waterworks will be pushed with vigor.

Minister Left Hurriedly.

Clarinda, Feb. 26.-Following on the
heels of the scandalous rumors that
were circulated concerning Rev Mr.
Mendenhail, comes the story that Rev
Mr. Mitchell of the United Brethren
church has left the city on account of
the irate husband of Mrs. Hurst of
East Clarinda. 1t is said by some that
he was caught by the husband in the
act of embracing Mrs. Hurst. The
husband, it is said, seized a shotgun
and commanded the preacher to flee,
which he did leaving his rubbers, hat
and overcoat BY others the story
that Rev. Mitchell was doing anything
wrong is denied and it is stated thathe
was merely sitting close to Mrs. Hurst
planning some church work. The
church authorities of the United
Brethren denomination will be here
on Saturday to investigate the affair.
Rev. Mitchell has always born a spot
less reputation.

Sioux City, Feb. 26.-There is a
probability that l.. g. Everist, of Sioux
City will become railroad magnate
and the bogie man may get him "ef he
don't watch aout' Old j. Pierpont
Morgan may hear of what he is doing
and jump into business car and make
run to Iowa. Mr.. Everist is figuring
that perhaps if things come out the
way he has hoped he may have some
one estimate the cost of construction
OF narrow gauge line of road six
miles in length, to extend from Cedar
creek to a stub of the Wabash rail-
road near Bussey, Iowa The object
would be cheap transportation of coal
from mine in which Mr. Everist is
interested, to railroad.
Nothing is certain about the mat
ter, said Mr.. Everist The laying of
these rails wouldn't cost much any
way, and they may or they may not
be laid. This depends upon negotia-
lions which yet are pending. But,
my word for it, no other man in Sioux
City is interested with me in this mat
ter"

North and South Churches.

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 25.-The spec
ial committee on education appointed
last fall by the synods of Missouri of
the northern and southern Presbyter-
ian churches met in joint session in
st. Louis and decided upon a plan
whereby the two great bodies of Pres
byterians hereafter will cooperate in
their educational work thruout the
state. 1t is confidently predicted that
the two synods will ratify the action
of their committees at their meetings
next fall.
Congratulations on the harmonious
outcome of the joint meeting were ex-
changed at the Westminster alumni
banquet at the Planters hotel, which
was attended by representatives of
both synods. DR.. John Henry Mac.
Cracker, president of the Westmins.
ter college, presided and was the prin.
cipal speaker. This is considered
first step in a definite plan of few
liberal spirits in the church to bring
about a reunion of the north and
south church, which was split by the
civil war. Advocates of the union ara
jubilant over the success of the first
effort in that direction.

least $150,000. A similar change may
be made at Shelbina, and the road run
thru the Ragsdale and Hanger farms.
Paris. you know is three miles east of
Shelbina. Union is the prospective
point. If it was not intended to build
the road, it is hardly possible the pro.
moters would have me and a force of
men out at a heavy expense making
these preparatory tests. The project

is none of my affair. am only to
build it. The gentlemen having its
capitalization in charge were recently
in New York. The road will be 225
miles in length, and can be easily
built before summer is done. The
Hannibal and ST. Joseph was ten
years in building, and the people
should not grow impatient. You will
have another railroad, and think
soon"
