ed by Goosebone Prophet Elias Hartz,

was more closely confined to the study
OF the goosebone but he says he has
a theory which has been fully verified

life. He says:
1.-THE locusts are always accompan-
led by cool weather. or course, /
would not say this If / had not close
ly studied the situation each locust
year long while back. Why it is /
don't know, but other aged people
who have lived and observed agree
with me that the locusts seem to have

WINDOW GLASS IN DEMAND.
Jobbers win ask for Another Allot-
ment in two Weeks, and Prices Like
~ to Advance.

~ 10 Advance.
In Pittsburg window glass circles
it was stated yesterday that it was
confidently expected that another
allotment of glass would be made
about the middle of July. The size
of the allotment no one would pre-.
dict. All interests consulted, how
ever, were of the opinion that the al
lotment would be made at an adj
yanced price says the Pittsburg
Times.
The size of the allotment will in a
measure depend upon the amount of
glass on hand. Efforts are now be-
ing made by iobbers to ascertain
from the various combines and indie.
pendent concerns how much stock
they have.
The American Window Glass
company admits that its nnsold
stock aggregates 100000 boxes, with
only part of which 1t is willing to
part at this time. The Federation
Cooperative company may have
100000 boxes in store, likely not
more.
The Independent company took SO
many orders last year that it has not
been able to fill them, despite the
fact that its factories worked one
month overtime. The amount of glass
the independent plants have on hand
is as yet merely matter of conjec-
ture. Conservative Pittsburg glass
men yesterday estimated that the
stock remaining unsold could rot pos
sibly aggregate more than LOO, 900
boxes, which is 400, 600 boxes less than
the amount ON hand at the same time
last year.
During the past year three allot-
ments of glass have been made. The
first was in November last, and con-
sisted Of $50, 900 boxes. The second
allotment came in February, for $780,
900 boxes, and the third in April, for
an equal amount. The glass thus
taken by the jobbers by the three al
lotments aggregates $50, 900 boxes.
In addition TO this however, consider
able glass was sold TO private parties
and did not pass through the hands of
the jobbers.

ment Officers This Slayer Old
Trouble Between the men Lead to it
but deed Seems Almost Groundlsss.
CLARKsBURG, w. Va, July a.
James j. Childers, ex-chief Of police,
was shot and instantly killed in a sa-
loon here at six o'clock last evening
by William Myers, second lieutenant
of the fire department. The bullet
entered the heart and he dropped dead
without struggle or a word.
Myers, it is alleged, was drinking
heavily, and entered the saloon where
Charles G. Hurst engaged him in a
quarrel, and Childers came from rear
room and tried to act as peaeemaker.
Myers, according to witnesses, then
assaulted Childers and shot him dead.
Later he was arrested. The Coroner's
jury returned verdict that Childers
came to his death from gunshot
wound at the hands Of Myers.
Myers realizes the terrible deed he
has committed, and is nearly crazy
over It, Childers was chief OF police
here in 1900, and Myers, who was a
policeman under him and discharged,
always blamed Childers for his remov-
al. An old grudRe had existed be-
tween them ever since. Childers has
four children hut his wife died some
years ago. Myers has a wife and an
adopted daughter.
1t developed at the inquest that
Hurst and Myers entered the saloon
together quarreling. Hurst went to
back room where Childers was play
ing cards. Myers then invited both men
TO have drink, and they came out to
the bar. Hurst advised Myers not to
take any more liquor, and the latter
then engaged Hurst in scuffie. Chill
ders interfered and tried to persuade
Myers to leave the saloon. Myers
then turned upon Chllders, and grab
bing him by the neck with one band
he shot him dead with the other, re-
marking, "I'll fix you" The Coroner's
jury rendered no formal verdict, but
Myers will be arraigned tomorrow.
In jail last night he made the state
ment that there was no unfriendly feel
ing between him and Childers

STRIKE OYER.
Reports from Every Section are
Eminently Satisfactory.

Miners Everywhere are Going Back to
W0rk-Most Of Them are Back at
Their Posts Conditions the Same
! Over the State-Strike Leaders have
Failed.
Reports from every section of the
state are to the effect that the coal
strike is no longer to be feared as a
menace to our prosperity. The OPP
orators and miners on Kanawha and
New rivers have about agreed on
terms of settlement and the men are
going back.
In the Fairmont region there has
never been much of strike and the
danger from any further outbreak is
believed to be past. The following
special from BluefieId tells how it is
in that section:
The strike of the Flat Top miners
is practically over. To man going
through the field there is no indica-
tion that strike is on. No crowds
of men, no meetings, all quiet and
the loading of coal going on at every
tlpple.
The Bluefield yard has taken on
its normal appearance, and trains of
coal arescoming in with almost the
regularity of times when there is no
strike trouble.
The agitator has subsidized or at
least he is not cutting as big figure
as he did during the past 20 days.
The strike has been on three weeks
and the loss to the miners and oper-
ators has been large Nothing has
been gained by either side. The
same conditions exist today as be.
fore the strike was inaugurated, but
the heaviest losers, as usual are the
poor working men who have allowed
themselves to be drawn into losing
game by professional agitators. IF
the miners of this region would or
ganize an independent union they
would beyond all doubt have smooth
er sailing in the settlement of dis
putes and grievance
The total number OF cars loaded
Saturday were 313, and had average
cars been used exclusively it would
have amounted to AGO cars.
On Friday the total output was
304 cars of all sizes, equivalent to
47O cars of the average size.
In view of the fact that Saturday
is always an off day (the majority of
the men quitting work at II o'clock
the loading Saturday was unusually
heavy for the strike times.
