A Valuable Deposit Of Rare Quality
Now Open and in Use.

An industry of Marshall county lit
tie. known away from the immediate
vicinity where it is conducted has
been i'm progress near Lapaz since last
fall and is rapidly developing into
large proportions. 1t is matter to
be regretted that the raw material is
taken to another county to be manu-
featured when it might as well be
worked up within the limits of this
county.
About one mile west of Lapaz, on
the farm of Andrew 3. Thomas. there
is a bed of clay of very rare occurrence
in the United States. It's composition
and quality render it peculiarly valu-
able in the manufacture of cement
from mari. The deposit is very large
and the substance runs even in quail
ty and is unmixed with any detri-
mental material. 1t is exactly what
Will be needed when the Union town
ship mari beds become the seat of a
great cement industry, as they will
eventually.
The cement works at Syracuse, in
KOsciuskO county, bought forty
acre tract of Mr.. Thomas and opened
up the pit last fall. They are now
shipping the clay at the rate of three
TO five cars a day, taking it out by
hand labor with pick and shovel
but a steam shovel is shortly
to be put in, when the ship
ments will increase and more men will
be employed. In the manufacture of
cement from mari a necessary in
gredient is clay and in the entire
country there are few banks of clay SO
well adapted to the purpose as the
one at Lapaz.

Patterson, young farmer, living

bite. While he was cutting grass last
Fridaya black spider jumped upon his
hand from a tuft of grass. He threw

Sudden Death at Muncie.

MUNCIE, Ind, August William
Abbott, sixty-eight years old, founder
of the Braun Hotel and director of
the Union National Bank, was found
lying dead on coach at his home,
yesterday. Apoplexy is the supposed
cause. He was one of the best known
residents of the county, having been
prominent in republican politics and
in the business affairs of the city.
He had large financial interests here.

"UnleSS the trouble is settled on or
before Saturday, Aug. 10, 1901, the
mills will close when the last turn is
made on that day.
Brethren, this is the call to pre-
serve our organization. We trust
you and need you. Come and help us
and may right come to just cause.
II. j. SHAFFER. -
The statements in the foregoing
order are neither fair nor temperate.
The so-called steel trust has never re-
fused to recognize as union men those
who are now striving for the right to
organize, but, on the contrary, it has
always recognized the union men in
its employs. it has written contracts
with them as such and during the en-
tire course of the present negotiations
it has recognized the union and dealt
with it as a union. What Che steel
trust refuses TO admit is that the
union has any right to compel nom
union men to join its ranks and to
compel the trust to discharge such
men as refuse to join. The steel trust
has gone SO far in the recognition Of
the Amalgamated association as to Sc
parate the men, placing the union men
exclusively in the union mills under
union contracts and rules, and it, has
neverudenied the men in non-union
mills the right to organize if they
wished: but it does refuse to give the
Amalgamated association the power
of deciding what men shall or shall
not be employed in non-union mills.
Shaffer reminds his men that before
they agreed to any contract, referring
thereby to the union scale, they took
an obligation to the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION, and complains because the
scale contract was transferred to the
trust, inferring that such transfer
made slaves of the men. This pre-
sentation ignores the facts that con-
tracts of all kinds are transferable
and are transferred every day with
out involving any such thing as
slavery: that the steel trust is not
seeking to hold the men to the con-
tract but has always been willing to
abrogate it and it was in force up TO
the time of the strike only because
the men themselves demanded it,
while, on the other hand, the men
did not not hesitate to violate the
contract themselves by going on the
strike at the very time they were
claiming it to be in force and the
trust was willing to nullify it: and
that if the obligation to the aSSocia-
ton requires its members to disregard
their contracts, then the trust is
justified both i'm wishing to do away
with the scale and in trying to destroy
the union.
1--WE must fight or give up forever
our personal liberties, F." says Shaffer.
Sane men will hardly think that there
will be no more opportunities forever,
neither can they see how any ques-
ton of personal liberty or slavery is
involved in this strike. 1t appears
that the personal liberty of non-union
men is at issue, if such question is
in the case, because the strike hinges
upon the attempt to force unionism
upon non-uniOn mills by compel
ling the owners of the mills to dis
charge good men who refuse to join.

Haven't men as good right to
join unions as corporations have to
form combinations? is one of the
questions now being asked which needs
no answer, and it may be added sug-
gests the indianapolis Journal. that
men should have the right to remain
out of unions if they prefer in a free
country, and find employment and not
be intelfered with in it.

J. P. Morgan, the advocate of coali-
tion, first started in with his coal COM
binations three years ago, making the
first movements along the line Of con-
trolling the products Of the Ohio and
West Virginia fields. At that time
he obtained complete control Of the
mining property In the Hooking and
Shawnee valley. In order to give an
outlet for this coal he purchased GER
tain railroad properties and this
started the combination mania along
the line of railroad ownership"

Newport, n. I. July s.--The Con.

bia yesterday by the small margin Of
4S seconds in the first real race in
which the new Herreschof yacht has
participated. Although the contest
from start to finish was close and at
times exciting in the opinion of a ma.
jority of yachtsmen in Newport last
night, the Constitution lost through
misfortune. While the boats were on
the second long tack to windward the
clew of the jib of the new boat was
carried away and for some ten min
utes she was without the use of that
sail. This accident set the Constitu-
ton back practically mile. The Co.
lumbla did not escape without acct
dent, for Immediately after crossing
the finish line, in gybing over the big
mainsail, her main boom buckled and
she had TO be towed to the city. 1t
will be necessary to string a new spar
before the Columbia can race again.
but it is expected it will be in place
for race Wednesday.
