YOUNG LADIES ENTERTAIN
Their Friends at the Residence OF Mrs. P.
N. Moore Monday Night.

AS "the darkest hour comes
just before the dawn" so some
of our keenest disappointments
follow closely some pleasures.
All day long Monday several
pairs of eyes watched anxiously
each change from sudshine to
shadow, and as the clouds gath
cred and the rain fell our hopes
grew less and less bright with
each passing minute, but when
the sun shone bright and warm
our joy forced song to our lips
that would not be stilled.
1t had been the intention of
the young ladies to entertain
their friends at the lake, but on
account of the exceeding damp
ness Mrs. Paul M. Moore, who
was to have acted as chaperon on
the occasion, kindly offered us
the use of her home and the pic
mic went on all the same, only in
doors instead of out.
The young ladies appreciate
the honor of entertaining friends
who on occasions of this kind not
only lend their presence, but by
their cordial friendliness make
them (the girls) feel the delight
of even so slight an effort to
make them happy. One of the
chief pleasures of the evening
was the music, and to those who
gave us the pleasure of listening
to them all the company raise
their voices in one sincere vote
| of thanks.
At 10 O'Clock light refresh
ments were served, and al an
early(f) hour Afterwards . very
ehappy evening came to a slsss.

UNION MINERS IN A SCRAP.
Barnaby and Wells Come to Blows at
jacksonville.

A scrap came up in the office
of the United Mine w orkers'
headquarters which came near
putting Mr.. Wells out.
A messenger went into the
private office to deliver a mes
sage to Board Member Wells,
and as he entered he heard Dis
trict President Barnaby call
Wells 'a liar" Barnaby then
called him "a d-n liar!"
Wells then started to sign for
his message, when Barnaby
caught him by the neck and
pushed him IN the corner,
choking him nearly lifeless. He
then turned Wells loose. Wells
made another attempt to sign
the messengers book, at which
time Barnaby said many unpleas-
ant things. Wells had stood all
he could, SO he pulled pistol
from one of the desk drawers on
Barnaby, when the latter picked
up heavy ink stand from a
table and hit Wells in the face
with it, scattering ink all over
the room and on those unconcer-
ned. The row was stopped by
parties from the adjoining rooms,
with Wells slightly disfgured.

ems the mines in this part of
Kentucky where the miner is

The members might starve. The
output of coal in Hopkins coun-
ty for May is far In excess of any
output for the same months here
tofore, and it looks as if the
threats of the officials were be-
ing carried out, as there have
been no supplies furnished since
the 18th of the month. Sorrow
full looking miners bring empty
baskets to the commissarles, only
to be told that "the check has
not come yet," and the basket
goes back empty. The reports
from the various locals are that
the crop Of foolish people is ex-
haused, as no new members are
being gathered in. For two years
now, Barnaby and Campbell and
their we'll fed organizers nave
lied daily and continuously, and
ever and anon some poor fool
would join their order, to find
how rotten were the promises
made them. The officials quar-
rel and fight amongst themselves,
but never fail to get salaries and
expenses out of their dupes.

Chapel roams the streets Of
Madisonville, with his pockets
full of money, while poor Rufus
MAINS walks home from the
commissary with an empty bas-
ket. And this is the "brother-
hood" of the United Mine Work
ers of America.
1t was 81 cents last week, and
it is nothing this week. What
fun it must be to be a member
of the U. NJ. w. of America in
Hopkins county. What do the
wives and children think Of the
husbands and fathers, and Of the
promises of Messrs. Campbell,
Wood, Chapel q Co. The
Barnsley "sanctifed" mem Der
who proposes to send the women
and children forth as evangelsts
to tell the wives of non union
men how we'll the L. NJ. w. keep
their promises and how we'll all
members of the brotherhood are
getting along ("even if we don't
get all we think we ought to
have") had best hurry up, else
the empty baskets that return
from the commissaries will eX-
pose the lie he would have these
poor women and children tell.
John Mitchell has his eye on
Barnaby and Wells. When he
needs "scrapplng" men he will
send them to the anthracite fields
of Pennsylvania.
Fifty-two cents last week, moth
ing this week. Will there be an
assessment next week? If so,
the empty baskets may have to
be sold to pay it.
