the exchange editor, with jerk.
"Just the thing. 1t rhymes with

interrupted the young girl. 81
hadn't thought of it in that way,
but you have a better idea of
such things.
"Now, the second verse is more
like this:
The dove-eyed kline upon the moor
Looks tender, meek and sad;
While from the valley comes the roar
"Of the matchless liver pad"
roared the exchange editor. +"
There you get it. That fin
ishes the second so as to match
with the first. 1t combines the
fashions with poetry and carries
the idea right home to the fire.
side. If only had your ability
for starting verse, with my ge-
MUS in winding it up, I'd quit
the shears and open up IN the
poetry business tomorrow"
"Think so ?" asked the fair
young lady. ''It don't strike me
as keeping up the theme"
"You don't want to. You
want to break the theme here
and there. The reader likes it
better. Oh, yes Where you
keep up the theme it grows mo-
notonous."
"Perhaps that's so," rejoined
the beauty, Frightening up. 81
didn't think of that. Now I'll
read the third verse.
How sadly droops the dying day,
AS night springs from the glen,
And moaning twilight seems to say
The old mans drunk again,

the exchange editor. ''Some-

might be accused of plagiarism.
We must have the thing original.

SIS that new ?n inquired the
sweet, rosy lips. "At least, l
never heard it before. l don't
know what it means"
"New! Deed it's new. Ben
is the name for overcoat, and
spout means to hook. why did
shove my toper?' That's just
what twilight would think of
first, you know. Oh, don't be
afraid-that's just immense!"
"Well, I'll leave it to you,"
said the glorious girl, with a
smile that pinned the exchange
EDITORS heart to his spine. "This
is the fourth verse:
The merry milkmaid's somber song
Re-echoes from the rocks.
AS silently she trips along
with holes in both her

Snip, snip, snip. Paste, paste,
paste. But it is with a saddened
heart that he snips and paste:
among his exchanges now. The
beautiful vision that for a mo.

but the recollection in his heart
of one sunbeam in his life,
quenched by the shower of tears
with which she denounced him
as a "brute,' and went out from
him forever.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ON INDICTMENT FOR
THE COFFEE MURDER.
Five Men Now in Custody on
). Charge Of Completely in
This Killing.
DETERMINED WORK OF
KENTUCKY OFFICERS.
Union Men at Evansville Depot Try to
Make Trouble,

Burrell Wiley, John Woodruff
and Francis Drake are the latest
arrests in the Coffee murder case.
They were arrested twice at Sui
livan, Ind, and after a legal
fight were surrendered to Ken
lucky authorities upon Gov.
Beckham's requisition and land
ed in the Hopllinsville Jail Mon
day night.
This makes five men now in
jail upon Indictment for compile
ity in the Coffee killing. The
two previously arrested are Guy
Reynolds and Jim Will Ander-
son. Reynolds was arrested sew
eral weeks ago In Illinois and
consented to come to Kentucky
without a requisition. Anderson
was previously captured at his
home. A motion for bail in An
derson's case was granted in the
Christian circuit court and the
amount fixed at $4,000, which
Anderson could not give.
There has been mixed with the
arrest of these three men enough
of local Indiana politics to defeat
the purpose of the Christian
county warrant and the Govern
or's requisition, although the re-
quisitlon had received the sane
tion of Gov. Durbin, of Indiana.
In fact, the Sheriff of Sullivan
county did release the prisoners
upon his own motion on Sunday
afternoon, April 20, after they
had been arrested by T. j. Har-
Ian the evening before. One of
the three had a big gun on him
when he was first arrested and
started after it, but was quietly
convinced he had best not draw.
In these arrests two were nip
ped in a large crowd around a
street medicine fakir and hustled
to jail without stir. The officers
then hurried to the home Of the
third man and, as they walked
in, a courier was knocking at the
door to warn the bird to fly. But
he was too late and the arrest
was made without trouble.
After being released next day
the three men remained at Sulli-
van, secure in the belief that
their union and political friends
would not permit of their being
taken to Kentucky and them
selves openly declared they
would not be arrested. There
was talk of jail delivery and
mobs to rescue them if the Off
GERS representing the State of
Kentucky should really secure
the custody of the fugitives.
The second arrest of these men
was made through the instru-
mentality of Jno. b. Harlan,
who represented the State of
Kentucky and persuaded the
Sheriff to land the men in the
most peaceful manner. At that
time the Circuit Judge inspected
and signed the requisition pa
pers but, after he had taken Mr..
Harlan's receipt for the prison
ers and the latter had a wagon
ready to convey them to the
train, the Judge declined to de-
liver them up upon the ground
that .habeas corpus action was
then pending before him.
The case was set for Monday

mine has so far progressed that
coal will be hoisted from there
this week. A test of the hoist
ing engine last Saturday resulted
successfully. Those in position
to know say that for mechanism
the new work there can not be
eXcelled.
Author Barnett, OF the st.
Bernard Coke department of
labor, found time last Saturday
to cast a hook into the lake and
was rewarded by a catch Of a
fine three and half pound fish.
For years past although many
others have put in bids, the st.
Bernard Co., have captured the
contract with the city of Nash
vile for coal. A contract for
next year was closed last week.
The Nashville American while
speaking on this subject takes a
thrust at Mr.. Baxter of the new
railroad, built mostly on paper
in that state thus far, by saying
that the new company when on
their bended knees asking Nash
vile to vote large sum Of
money in their favor promised
among other things that the sum
of So. 600 per year would be saved
in the coal bill alone and yet
the same company comes forward
with a bid far higher than their
successful competitor. Said
company controlled by Baxter
claim to haye large interests in
coal mines in Tennessee, still
with the haulage power under
their control, they cannot furnish
coal as cheap as the companies
who pay regular freight rates.

In an important case.
If as claimed by the u. M.
WIS, they came only on a peace
full mission and that their aim is
to make men better. How is it
when ever they get fOothold in
a community that religious af-
fairs become disturbed. A lead
ing church member residing at
Mortons informs US that once
prosperous churches at that
place have become disrupted
through the influence for evil
exerted by said unions. AS a
matter of course the union
believe in acts of violence and
unlawfulness, such as has taken
place, since their advent into
this county. Neither christian
or civil government could stand
if under their control. The
same spirit of rule or ruin that
cause mines to shut down when
they have the power in their
hands. Also close the church
doors and the worship of God by
them becomes a secondary mat
ter.
One by one are the assassins
of officer Coffey being captured.
Last week three more suspects
was arrested in an adjoining
state. The determined search
made for these seoundrels show
conclusively that the mine oper-
ators for whom he made an eff
ficient officer will use every
lawful m cans to bring the guilty
parties to the bar of justice.
One of the deluded beings
claiming membership with the
U. NJ. WIS, says he notices a
great falling off in the shipment
of coal south. Indicating a
partial success be thought on the
part of the union in crippling
the mines of this county. The
truth is if we are not mistaken
this fellow since joining the
union has been compelled tC

bound pulling nearly solid trains

The consensus of opinion is
that the Central City end of the
Mine Workers are only making
a big bluff when they say they
will strike unless demands of
increase is granted by the coal
companies. One fellow is eX-
pressing himself, says the gang
will go to Louisville and after
parleying awhile will take a few
drinks and come home and 90 to
work at the old scale, and make
loud boasts Of another victory

Rumor says that quite an ad-
ditional number of idle miners
are coming in from other states,
most Of whom once worked in
Hopkins county mines and who
evidently feel it their duty to
