NOT OUR FIGHT.
West Virginia Miners Have no Interest
In outside Serans.

The anthracite coal miners are in
volved in strike, and the entire re-
gion is idle. This is not news TO the
newspaper reader. But while the
facts are fresh in our minds, we desire
to call attention to some features of
the situation. We will not attempt
to pass upon the merits Of the is
sues in the anthracite troubles, says
the Fairmont Times. Those matters
are OF no special interest or concern
to US OF the bituminous regions.
What we want is to call attention to
first, is that President Mitchell and
other officials of the National United
Mine Workers say that they expect
to call out the miners in the bitumin-
Gus regions, of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. Why? AS a matter of sym.
pathy, of course. This seems man
ifestly unfair The anthracite troubles
are none of ours. Now let US remem-
Der, before they bring the issue any
nearer to us, that our coal miners
are at work, are peaceful, prosperous,
contented and happy. The only COM
plant they have TO make is that the
railroads are not able to furnish as
many cars as they can load. The
miners in West Virginia, speaking
especially OF those in our own region
are working full time, and only want
more cars to increase their labors and
their monthly earnings. We believe
that the United Mine Workers will
have difficulty in convincing our mi
ners that they must quit work, in
order to sympathize with those in the
anthracite region. We do not blame
our miners IL they take selfish view
of it, Why should our miners be
idle and lose money, because the
Pennsylvania miners have grievances
which they are not able to settle?
1t is no fight Of ours. The Pennsyl
yania miner and Pennsylvania opera
tor are not especially anxious about
our welfare. Never. And why should
we bother about their affairs?

Temporary Order, Wide In It's
Scope, Issued Against
Packers Combine,
GRANTED TO THE GOVERNMENT.

ments Continue, They or Agents
Will Be Taken Into Court For Con-
tempt-Burden of Proof on Them.

Chicago, May 21.-The temporary

that il the packers or their agents
continue with their present alleged
uniform arrangements they will be
taken into court on contempt pro
ceedings and the burden of proof will
be on them to show that they have
not violated the order in any partic.
ular Little opposition was raised
against the governments petition.
Attorney John S. Miller who was the
sole representative of the packers
present, pointed out some objection
able clauses in the draft of an order
presented by Mr. Bethea These con
cerned the alleged agreements for
credit, blacklisting and carriage.
Judge Grosscup thought some of these
minor clauses had been made too
prominent, and he himself drew a
form of order that pleased both sides.
At the same time the order was en-
tered numerous afidavits and other
exhibits were filed for the govern

Hatfield-McCoy feud, which has ex
listed in that state for years past.
Students of the University who
know Hatfield say that he had lost
considerable money on the slot ma.

and it is presumed that ne broke in
to the place with view OF robbing
the machines. Last year several
students broke open slot machine
in this store and secured quite
sum of money. They were not pros
ecuted, and it seems likely that Hat
field was trying to duplicate the
performance of his college mates.
1t was reported that two other stu
dents were implicated in the at
tempted burglary, but escaped ar
rest On Friday night some one
tried to cut open the door of Bea-
ston's store,On Saturday night Spec

By "FL1Nr1oeKn PERRY.

Brave yet'rans it's with mingled thrill
OF sympathy and pride,
We see you resting meath the sod
United side by side.
Your silent lips for each and all
A message bear that's true,
That only virtue, honor, truth
And courage can construe.
We never can forget their fame
Who stemmed the battle tide,
When Lee led on his noble host
And "Stonewalln Jackson died;
The grave of every fallen brave
Is now hallewed shrine,
And wreathes of laurel nobly won
Around them sweetly twine
The Stars and Bars are folded up
With holy love and care
Old flag of sacred memories
Forever linger therel
The blood of loyal Southern men
Has deeply dyed its bars,
But honor still Eliminates
Each of its thirteen stars.
Those precious pearls of ehivalry
We love and cherish so,
The leaders and the mighty host
That now have gone before,
And those of us who lingering here
Have borne the Christening rod,
Because in it we recognize
The way and will of God.
No more we care for power
Nor cherish hope of SWAY,
Being brave enough to see and say
Gods is the better way.
We've answered to our destiny
And done the best we could
And scorn to think of bitter things
And not the true and good.
Each glorious deed has told,
For praise in feeble words would be
A tribute far too cold;
Sleep on heroic veterans brave
Beneath your wreaths of glory,
While poets breathe your names in song
And history tells your story.
Stop feeting time; one moment pause,
Nor shift the scenes too fast;
Life's fondest meetings soon are DER
And this may be our last;
The last until we all shall stand
Where Truth and RIGHT will be
The arbiters to judge that cause
Sc loved by you and me;
For there in raiment shining
Our resurrected brave,
Our comrades stand in battle
From forest, field and wave
Will answer to the summons
Again will marshalled be
BY Johnson, Morgan, Stuart,
BY Jackson and by Lee.

The Baltimore L. Ohio Railroad and
the Civil War. IS6l-1S65.

1t was the first and most desirable
point of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May 1861, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Parkersburg,
w. Va, Wheeling, W. Va, Harper's
Ferry, w. Va, and at Washington.
To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besides forts at
Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumber-
land, Piedmont and New Greek, (Key-
ser.) The B. & o. was the base of
operations for the Federal army for
nearly four years and from which the
government could not take advance
line earlier than November 1864.
The B. & o. was the means of COM
munication between the West and
the Army Of the Potomac, and was
consequently in a continual state of
siege. Harpers Ferry the key TO the
Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatical attempt of
John Brown, in defying the laws and
customs of his country, was captured
or recaptured eight times in three
years. The Government Arsenal and
armories which were located there,
were destroyed by the government to
prevent their capture. One hundred
and seventy nine battles Of greater
Importance were fought on or ada
cent to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
not taking into consideration the in
Vulnerable skirmishes.
