X. l.. Manley Sues the City.

Some weeks ago the REGISTER re-
ported mishap which befell II. L.

ing onto the bridge from the steep and
narrow north approach and discover
ed when he neared the top that there
was team on the bridge, approaching
him. He backed his horse and the
buggy was upset.
Mr.. Manley itemizes his bill as fol
lows: Injury to wagon s6.75; injury
to harness $3.50; nursing $40; medi-
cine and Doctors bill s.; loss of time

WORKS WILL NOT SHUT DOWN
The Big Smelter Suit Will Not En-
barrass the Plants Even if the
Injunction Sticks.

There has been some talk about town
of the cGlamitous effect the losing of
the injunction suit might have on the
Lanyon snelters here. The REGISTER
has it from excellent authority that
the company has been working rapid
lily for some time making changes in
the ore-roasting departments and al
ready has one steel furnace in opera
tion, at Works No. in this city, will
have another completed at No. in a.
bout ten days and within sixty days
will have the entire change made. So
with the hand kilns still in use and
the supply Of roasted ore on hand the
works will keep right on turning out
spelter and If the supeme court de-
cides that the patent kiln heretofore in
use must be discontinued the order
will not have any effect here.

WE have known certain man near
ly twenty years and known him rather
intimately; but we never found out un-
tAl the other day that this man carries
on his person wound which he re-
ceived in 1862, which has never healed
and which will probably some day re-
suit in his death. We asked him why
he had never said anything about it
and he replied: "What is the use of
compiaining about what cannot be
helped ?" The man had not let the
wound prevent him from doing his
full duty as soldier for three years
after II was received, and he has not
let 1t hinder him from earning a
mighty good living without anybody "a
help since the war was over. Itis a
very rich experience to know q man
made of that sort OF stuff.

people to live comfortably.
The new dynamo is is 16-kilowatt
machine, capable Of furnishing a cur
rent for 1900 l6-candle power lights.
The new engine is an Ideal, the same

TWENTY WEARS OF STRIKES

In the current number of the North
American Review Carroll ID. Wright
presents some figures regarding
strikes. He shows that so per cent of
all the strikes in this country are
successful: l3 per cent are successful
in part, while37 per cent fail complete
ly. These are figures representing 2
averages OF the period from 1881 to
1901. In this time there we're 20, 1893
strikes, involving 117,509 establish
ments and throwing out OF employ
ment 6.l05,694 wage earners. The
average duration of strikes, was % g
days. The total wage loss to the
strikers was $3.50, ,s67 ,47s; to the en-
ployers, Sl22, ,l2l, two-thirds OF
the losses falling on labor, one-third
on the employer, but the result is mod
fled .by the increase in wages that
labor secures when strike is sue
cessfui, A little more than 28 per
cent OF the strikes were for higher
wages; IL per cent for higher wages
fewer hours, and IL per cent for fewer
hours alone. Sympathy strikes
amounted to less than per cent; less
than } per cent were Iagainst the EN-
ployment of non union ,men, and less
than per cent to compel a recogni-
tion of the union, and ofthis lastlclass
81 per cent failed.

Chanute Sun: A letterhead received
this morning at this office reads "The
Pinto Copper Company of Pierre,

in $500, 900 shares OF 81 each. Geo.
A. Bowlus, lola, Kansas, president;

president of the NeOsho Valley Oil
Co., Mr.. Bennett is Santa Fe Immi-
grafton Agent and Mr.. Miller is Mis-
souri, Pacific immigration agent.
Mr.. Benefits specula ations in the

ore was found, and then a gangway

hole assays from 81 to $24 ton.
Mr.. Bennett is the secretary OF the
Neosho Valley Oil Co., and has been
associated with President Isett In the
company from the time of its promo
tion. The phenomenal success of the
enterprise under President Isetts'
management and his evident ability
to float his stock at par from the first
led Mr.. Bennett to induce Mr.. Isett to
assist him in promoting his copper
company. Between the Neosho Val
ley Oil Co., and the Pinto Copper Co,
both gentlemen should become enor.
