STEPS FOR SEWERS
The council met Saturday night in

first thing, he said, was to determine

have it surveyed, definitely if the old
survey does not fully tell all that is

it along this survey must be secured.

Morse has had the advice of Emporia
and Hutchinson and learns that it can
be determined exactly how far the
sewerage from 1000 people will con.

this, after measuring the river, the
city could know just how far the
sewage would go without purifying it.

An Angry Humboldt Woman.

Mrs. Mckenzie drove up from Hum
boldt Friday, pretty tolerably mad to
start with, and more than mad when
she went home. She visited the coun-
ty attorney and declared her intention
of having Mrs. John CAN'T arrested
at the earliest opportunity.
Her daughter, Eva Mckenzie, has
worked at the Pennsylvania Hotel for
nine months, she says. Last Satur-
day she, and another girl, quit the
place. They left their clothes in
trunk in their room. Today Mrs.
Mckenzie went after them and found
the trunk out of doors, open and most
of the good clothes gone. She mixed
up with Mrs. Giants about it and says
the latter told her things about herself
and more particularly her daughter
that she can never forgive, hence her
desire for legal vengeance.
AS to the thieving the police have
been bothered for months past by the
girls at the hotel. Each is always
losing some fine raiment and charging
another with the theft. Minnie Dillon
accuses Josie Williams of stealing
from her, but Josie is supposed to be
in Kansas City.
The police declined to make any
move, referring Mrs. Mckenzie to the
county attorney.

COAL OPERATORS

CONSPIRACY AGAINST
KENTUCKY OPERATORS.
For Purpose Of Cocrcing Them to Union.
ize Their Mines.

Evansville, Ind, April 10
Operators in Evansville have re-
ceived notice that they will be
made defendants in "a damage
suit brought by the st. Bernard
Coal Company to prevent the col
lection of dues of miners in the
United Mine Workers Union. 1t
is law Of the union that COM
panies must withhold a certain
sum Of miners wages to be paid
over to union officials as dues to
the union. This the st. Bernard
Company charges is a conspiracy
against their business since it is
said these dues are being sent to
Kentucky to be used as a. strike
fund to coerce the said st. Ber-
nard Company to uniOniZe its
mine. There is an intimidation
law in Kentucky, and it is
under this law that the suit is
brought. The question of how
such a law will affect Indiana
operators will be brought out in
the United States Court if any
such suits are brought to trail.

again visiting the house. The
crop of the turkey was unusually
large and distended, and, when
opened, was found to contain a
handful of corn, two suspender
buttons, somewhat the worse for

two poker chips, Il piece of
secondhand corn plaster, two
cancelled postage stamps, seven

SECOND CALL
Called the Miners Out of Bed Early Monday
Morning

Providence and Empire, had full
forces at work Monday. Provi-
dence was short of cars and did
not run a full day.
On Tuesday morning commit
tees were again out at some Of
the mines-one here and there
but with the remembrance of
Mondays failure and in their
attempt to call out the men and
at the same time to keep them
selves off the property of the
coal companies, they acted with
out hope or effect. The mines
of the county all ran as usual
Tuesday and put out a full days
work except where railroad cars
were scarce in some instances.
Monarch mine had more men in
than on Monday.
Wednesday morning the same
story was repeated. No COM
mitteemen made their appear
ance about Darlington mines,
however, having concluded their
efforts were entirely fruitless.
At Barnsley some fifteen union
men gathered on the railroad to
challenge men who should come
from Mortons Gap to the Barns
ley mine. They accosted two
men only and after that dis
persedup on the arrival of officers,
fearing charges of intimidation
in the courts.
The two thousand employed
miners of Hopkins county seem
to have made up their minds to
pursue the even tenor of their
way and defend their right to
peaceful employment and the
pursuit Of happiness without the
consent of jim Wood or any of
his associates in idleness.
There is indication of a tense
feeling of resentment against in
reference by union representa-
tives. Two colored agitators
from Indiana were in Darlington
Monday night for the purpose of
holding meeting. They were
disturbed, however, by signs of II
demonstration by the colored
miners and stayed in the house
of q friend all night, leaving
town the next morning. Several
farmers have been in Darlington
this week and offered their SER
vices to protect life and property,
having heard that threats were
being made by union leaders who
were disappointed that the strike
order was ignored.
Everything is moving quietly
and smoothly about the mines
and the work goes on as usual.

are quite number of union men in
that region, yet they have not used
force to stop the miners. What
causes Barton to approach profanity
is the fact that some scheming poll
ticians are calling around and at
tempting to use the union as poll
tical move in the interest of the
Democratic party.
There are $50 plants in operation
in the bituminous mining districts
Of Pennsylvania. requiring twelve
mine inspectors. Under the provi-
sions of the present law an inspector
is allowed, at a salary of $1,000 a
year, for not less than go nor more
than 80 mines.
The labor agitators seem to have
given up the struggle in Colorado,
and all of the Colorado Fuel d Iron
Company's mines are now reported
to be in active operation.
The Canon City miners returned
to work on March 27. The agitators
failed to organize the comsanys
miners for general strike.
1t should be remembered that men
employed as sworn officers for our
coal companies have rights that even
U. NJ. W., although claimingto be
privileged class, must respect.
These guards treat all with proper
respect and expect tie same in re-
turn.
Among our people can not be found
a worse citizen than the one who be-
comes an migrate. For many years
he has prospered under the leader
ship and kind treatment of his en-
ployer, has lacked neither for work
or means; if day of sickness over
took him and his money ran short,
care, both medical and financial was
given him; if he wanted few dol
lars for pleasure trip, the money
was advanced. Such has been the
condition of the employees of the st.
Bernard Coal Company, and yet. we
are sorry to state, man is occa-
sionally found wanting in that graf
itude which goes to. make man
truly good. But it must be said, to
the credit of the St. Bernard miners,
that but few of them can be found in
that class and that fact was plainly
shown this week as it has been for
months past. They justly regard
the man who will turn his back on a
company that has befriended both
himself and family as traitor.

DOWN IN THE MINES.

The "fnal'' call has been issued
so Jim Woods says. and the
miners have done the rest. The
miners i'm this county have be-
come acquainted with these calls
which have been made so often
recently. 1t has been a common
thing for the hOme-loving miner, en-
route to the mines to work, to meet
one or more of these agitators who
by threats and lies ask them to come
out or suffer the consequences. So
these appeals and we believe in the
honesty and good judgement of our
miners in general and that they will
never suffer themselves to be led
astray by those who have nothing to
give in return, and will work with
the same vim and determination to
resist all attempts to interfere with
their duty and right TO earn a living
for themselves and families.
The burning of the engine house
at Oak Hill last Saturday night was
hard stroke upon the miners and
operators there. They have lately
entered upon new era of prosperity.
The machinery was bought and paid
for and the managers were proud Of
being out of debt. The miners who
had declared themselves free and
independent and were working along
well pleased with their condition
are also heavy losers. But with the
good feeling that prevails between
the managers and workmen they
will soon find way to rebuild
and equip the engine house. 1t is
rumored that it was the work Of an
incendiary, but there is no proof as
to the truth of the rumor. AS mis-
cry loves company the members of
the poverty society will feel proud
to hear of the misfortune that has
befallen the Oak Hill miners. If
they can't work themselves they
want others who won't sacrifice their
manhood by joining their order. to

depression in business what would
their control of this place do?. Prop

And where coal mines are concerned

killed. Experience has shown that
great coal consumers cannot rely on
union mines to fill contract, as the
most trivial thing sometimes causes
a cessation of business and the mines
are shut down.
