"Chas. j. O'Malley, who left
Louisville about two years ago
for Pittsburg, subsequently, re-
moving to Cincinnati, has decid-
ed to make another move, and is
going to Chicago, city toward
which he has been looking with
longing eyes for many years. Mr..
O'Malley came to Louisville from
Union county in 1896 to edit the
Midland Review, a Catholic
weekly. Subsequently he was
for a time the editor of the Illus
trated South. He is a poet of a
high order and pleasing and
graceful prose writer. He has
many warm friends in Kentucky
who have unbounded confidence
in his ability and will be pleased
to hear that he is making prog
ress in the world of letters. He
goes to Chicago as editor of the

Unionists in Union County Pull
Their Pull on Public Senti-
ment too Hard.
REVOLT OF THE MERCHANTS AND
FARMERS RESULT.
Labor Trust Now Has Fight on Hand
Against Universal Organization.

STunsIs, KY, Oct. 29.-There
is a fght on here between the
merchants and farmers of Union
county and the unionists who had
grown so confident of their pew
er as to believe the public would
submit to any sort of program
they might propose in their
plans to control business and
to regulate all wages and the
demand and supply of labor.
Sturgis has for years been
dominated by the Mine Workers
organization, and recently flushed
by victory, the unionists have
attempted to extend their con-
troll Of affairs and of men into
every other branch Of trade and
business represented here; farm
hands, teamsters, clerks, mer-
chants, they have attempted to
coerce into organizations as allies
of the union miners. Represen-
tatives Of the federation of labor
have been dilligent. Too dilli-
gent it now appears. Merchants
have been notified that their
clerks and teamsters must get
into the union if these merchants
would hold their trade. The
force of this threat is emphasized
by the fact that the union miner
handles a large portion of the
total wages earned by the labor
of Unon county, and that his
trade and that of his friends is a
very considerable factor In the
business of the community. The
union miners and all others
whom they persuade or coerce
into organizations are obligated
not to purchase anything except
from union clerk or a union
The union miners
are fined $500 for each offense if
they violate this rule, and now
some are having a hard time
finding place where they can
spend their earnings without sub
jecting themselves to this fine.
The unionists have carried
their dictation and tyranny so
far as to produce a revolt among
farmers, merchants and others
who had heretofore either SYM
pathized with the miners or else
only tolerated their dictation be-
cause the majority went that
way. Numerous specific instan-
ces might be given of pernicous
interference in trade. Persons
who were either union members
or their particular friends would
visit stores, pass by the clerks
and place an order with the mer-
chant for goods they said must
be delivered at once. Then they
would demand that the merchant
himself get on his delivery wag-
on and deliver the goods, because
his teamster had not joined the
union. The merchant would of
course decline to deliver the
goods and would return the mon
ey paid for the goods ordered.
The Paducah mines' store is the
only one said to have required
its clerks to join the uion in ac-
cordance with the order of the
unionists.
Out of this persecuting inter
ference In the business of the
community has come a strong or
ganization of merchants and
farmers to resist the aggressive
dictation of the unionists. The

ers selected by the President to
consider differences now existing
between the anthracite operator
and miner.
Some of the striking miners
now refuse to go work because
the coal operators in the East
ask them to give guarantee by
signing an agreement that they
will hereafter refrain from In
reference with union labor
now employed in the mines; a
request founded ON justice and
one that all reasonable and law
abiding men should comply with
without hesitation.
After throwing up theIc jobs
Of their own free will and, so far
a. they were concerned or cared,
abandoning the mines and al
lowing them to 60 to ruin,
the pumpmen and engineers of
portions Of the anthracite regions
now refuse to work with the men
who sought to support their fam
lilies by accepting positions thus
made vacant. They have made
an appeal to their order through
out the United States to sustain
their decision, and their organi-
zation has decided to refuse to
use anthracite coal until the de.
mands Of the pumpmen and en-
gineers are granted.
The first little locomotive en-
gine used by the st. Bernard
here, known by the name of "Su-
die," but which has been out OF
use for sometime, has been re-
paired, in fact almost made new,
and was last Sunday taken to the
South Diamond mine, where it
will be used ON a new outside
track laid there a few months
ago to new opening. With the
addition of this new motive pow
er, the production at that mine
is expected to show a big in
crease.
Walter G. Wright, bookkeeper
for the Crabtree Coal Company,
is making preparations to move
his family to Ilsley soon and a
new house is now being erected
for his use.
Foreman Carroll, of the Victo-
ria mine, is much elated over the
good work now being done there.
The production of this mine has
nearly doubled in the last few
months and now they are able to
load as much as % cars per day.
He says that before long they
expect to equal if not exceed the
production of the Arnold or South
Diamond mine.
John TGyman, who has been
in the employ of the st. Bernard
Mining Company at the coke
works for the last year or more,
will soon return to his old voca-
ton, that of a timer and stove
dealer. John is a good man and
his many friends will again well
come him back at his old quar-
ters.
Nearly all the shooting scrapes
between our colored miners can
be traced to the using of intoxi-
cants to excess, and law which
would entirely shut out the use
of the vile stuff would indeed
prove a blessing to the colored
miners of this county in more
ways than one.
Chas. Barnett is now filling up
quite number of coal bins at
Darlington. He handles a fine
quality of coal, which is produc-
ed at a small mine near the Hec-
la mine and for which he finds a
ready and steady sale.

FACTS s FICTION

Did you ever stop to think how
awkward it would be, and how
slowly we would get along with
our work, if people refused to do
things for us?
While the carpenter is building
a house for his neighbor, the tail
or is busy making him suit of
clothes. and the farmer is hard
at work raising vegetables and
grain that he may have some
thing to eat; a number Of men
in the printing Office work all
day to have the newspaper ready
for him to read in the evening,
and the shoemaker prepares
slippers for him to put onto rest
his feet. II people refused to
work for the carpenter and he
had to do all these things for
himself, he would have very lit-
tie time left to work at his trads.

as soon as the strike was declar-
ed off, and it is reported that out
of a total of 147 900 miners over
80, 900 were found back in their
old places last Friday, the Sec
ond day after the miners resum-
ed work.
Although the strike has been
declared off in the East non-union

The U. n. w. of this county
have been contending all along
that higher wages is what they
seek, but late revelations indl-
cate that they are not above
s'scabbing" to get job. At Nor
tonville some Of them, we are
told, recently offered their serv-
ices at ten cents per day less
than the men at work, or ninety

The rumor was shsst last week
that the Hortonville Coal Com
pany had sold its nine to Pa
aucah capitalists, but Investiga-
tion failed TO verify the report.
1t might be truly said that
foreman Toombs and his able as
sistants have of late developed
into adjusters of weights, so
many scales have been overhaul
ed by them here and at st.
Charles and Victoria mines.

several friends, spent last week
at Gelgher's Lake fishing and
the report is that a lot of fish
were caught. Mr.. Caviness seems
to have built up quite a reputa-
tion along that line.
Supt. Harris, of the South Dia-
mond mine, spent sometime last
week at Pewee, where a home
for the aged and infirm ex-Con-
federates was founded. He is
highly elated over the selection
made and proud of the record
made by the state in behalf of
those who may be without homes
and for whom provisions haye
now been made.
Little comfort or consolation
can be gotten out of the strike
settlement by the miners union,
because their pet hobby, "the
recognition of the union," has
been entirely left out of the SUBJ
jects to be considered by the
commission. 1t was a hard dealt
blow, the effects of which are
keenly felt here and elsewhere
by labor unions and their SYM
pathizers.
Secretary Bailey, of the Rein
ecke Coal Company, says he now
has another fight on his hands.
Many years ago, when Madison
vile was in the dark so far as
electricity was concerned, he,
with his own means, at a great
expense, founded an electric

by vote to have his plant made
useless by putting in one of their
own. Thus the deeds Of an old
and tried friend are forgotten.

If you take a live coal and drop
it into the street, it is surprising
how soon it becomes as gray as
the dust around it. You will
not keep your enthusiasm if you
stand off by yourself. 1t will
cool quickly unless you keep in
touch with sympathizers. If a
little flame of higher aspiration
than you have ever known be-
fore, is beginning to flicker in
your heart, encourage it by seek
ing the society of those who live
ON the higher levels, Even a
stone grows red hot in the glow
ing bed of a furnace, but a live
coal separated from it's fellows
does not long retain it's heat.

When you feel like kicking
aside the footstool that happens
to be in your way, it is safe to
conclude that the fault was not
in the footstool but in yourself.
If an irritable answer rises to
to your lips when the simplest
question is asked you, be sure
that you and not the questioner
need to be taken in hand. Some
times you think all the world is
out of order, and at such times
you will do we'll to begin setting
things to rights in your own
heart. 1t is wonderful how
orderly and beautifully and sat-

Self depreciation often springs
from self-distrust. There are
people who naturally lack conf
dence in their own powers. If
they compare themselves with
others, it is always to their own
disadvantage. And, as might be
expected, their attitude is conta-
gious. Even a friend cannot
long retain confidence in one who
has no confidence in himself.
People who belittle their own
capacities must expect to awak-
en- distrust in others, and so to
run the risk of making a failure
where success is possible.

Lazlnees sometimes Sets cfeult
az contentment. We resign osr-
selves to doing without some
thing we want because it will
cost ingenuity or persistence or
hard work. And then we try to
cheat ourselves into thinking
that not to desire a thing is as
satisfactory as to acquire it.
To fret and complain because
we do not have what we want is
childish and unavailing. But it
is also childish to deny ourselves
a single worthy wish because we
cannot crafty it without going
to work. Do not be afraid to
wish for things that are out of
your reach, and to wish for them
till you are ready to work for
them. That is the way the world
moves forward.

NOVEL STORM COAT.

Handsome Garment For the Presi-
dent When He Visits Kansas City.
When President Roosevelt did not
come to Kansas City, says the Journal
Of that town, he missed the gift Of one
Of the handsomest storm coats that a
man has put on his back since the
days when buffalo robes became ex-
tinct. The coat will STILL be his When
ne comes after it, but 1t IS hung up as
visit to Kansas City from him.
The coat is made from one superb
hide Of Galloway steer This is very
fine, with long, silky hair covering Its
shiny black surface. It is lined
throughout with quilted brown satin,
and the collar. cuffs and front are
faced with real beaver fur. The ma
terial, so far as the Galloway part is
concerned, is said to be as fine as any
ever seen. The steer was especially
picked out for this purpose, and the
greatest care was exercised In killing
him not to mar the hide. 1t was so
well tanned that it is as soft as a
piece of cloth, and the long black hair
gives the garment stunning appear
ance.
The Galloway Is about the only breed
Of cattle from which such coats can
be made. because its hair is the only
one that Is long enough. The cattle
originated in northern Scotland, and
always retain their long. tine coats.

The pilgrim compact was probably

government adopted by the people
known to the world. A rugged obelisk

inence on the outermost point Of Cape

fitting memorial Of st.sh landmark
