MORE ACCESSIONS
TO WORKING FORCE
No Disorder in Strike Region, but
Three Companies of Militia are Still
in the Field.

Three Companies of Militia are Still
in the Field.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, Sept. r.
There is little change in the strike
situation in the Kanawha and New
River fields. Each day this week
there have been some accessions to
the working force, but not as many
as expected 1t is reported that the
operators had meeting at Fayette
station today at which representa-
tives of the miners organization
were present and the situation dis
cussed looking to general resump-
ton in the New River fields. This
report, however, has not been con
firmed.
There has been no disorder in the
strike region. Three companies of
state militia are still IN the field,
one being at Red Ash and the others
at Thurmond. The troops with
drawn several days ago at still
kept under arms and ready :or duty
db u Nv max
of the scale by the Coalburg oln rators
has apparently not affected the sit
uation. The miners are sti'l firm.
while the operators main.ain they
will never agree to the demands of
the organization.
1t is reported that the Kanawha
and Hooking Company has granted
some of the demands, but refuses to
recognize the union. Several of
the company's mines are working
this week with small forces A
number of miners were among the
crowds here today attending the
laying of the corner stone of the Odd
Fellows temple. The miners at
Montgomery were told today that
several carloads of provisions were
on the way here.

MINE OWNERS FIRM.
Say That They Will Make no COnces.
si0ns to Their WOrkmen.

A meeting Of the Manawha and
New River coal operators was held to-
day in Charleston.
Nearly the entire field was repre-
sented by the owners or managers of
the operations. The resolutions adopt
ed former meeting to the effect that
no concessions of any kind would be
granted as an inducement for the re-
sumption OF work were reafflrmed.
This action was taken today because
the report had been circulated that
some OF the operators contemplated
granting concessions as an inducement
to secure the resumption of work at
the mines.
The operators reafflrmed in even
stronger terms than heretofore that
no concessions would be granted and
none are asked, and that il the men
now on strike desire to go to work it
must be upon the same terms as pre-
vailed on June I.

POWERFUL PLAY.
Little Talk and Much Good Acting
Go to Make up "Our New Minis
ter"


ter"
Denman Thompson and Geo. w.
Ryer's latest success, ''Our New Min
ister," which is now in its second year
comes to Swishers Theatre for its local
presentation on Monday Sept. Is.
This is the first New England play
that these authors have written since
that dramatic evergreen was first
brought forward seventeen years ago.
The scene Of the play is laid in Hard
scrabble, N. H., poor farming COM
munity. While the new minister is
the central figure, and perhaps the
strongest character in the play, there
area number of others, such as, for
example, Lem Ransom, returned
convict; Curt Ho'ten, ia cute rustic;
Darius Startle, a country detective;
Obadiah Burton, with settled opin-
ions; Jack Frasier an escaped convict;
Nance Ransom, LENS daughter, and
Dorcas Tattleby, name and nature
alike. In writing this play Mr..
Thompson and Mr.. Ryer have indulg-
ed in as little talk as possible, but
that little has been made intensely
interesting, powerful and effective,
their long experience in play building
having impressed them with the fact
that people go to theatre to witness
good acting rather than to hear phil
osophical discussions. The original
cast will be seen including such well
known players as John Terrlss, John
Barker, Joseph Conyers, Charles Sted-
man, Louis Furce, Grant Foreman,
John P. Drawn, Ethel Brooke Fergu-
sonr Phila May and Mrs. Geo. W
Barnum,

Messrs. Hetzel s. Forman the own

ct constantly improve their stock and
are always on the alert to serve their
customers better than any one else.
That they are doing so is evidenced by
their constantly increasing trade. AS

will have fresh oysters every day, fish
and other sea foods. A telephone
call will bring you anything in the
meat line you want promptly.

OfInterest to Trappers.

trapping should be discontinued In Maine
by March Is. II trappers would observe
more closely the season when furs are
prime and only trap them during that
period, the supply would be considerably
reduced and much better prices realized
for what they caught.
The early trapping also IL a great loss to
the trappers, II they will only pause and
think. There are only about so many
fur bearing animals in a locality to be
caught each season, and why catch or
kill them before they are prime?
A well-known Hancock county buyer
said rec ntly that he had too often seen
mink caught in September tina, have to be
classed as "scabs" or "No. A., and worth
but 10 or 10 cents, that, had they been
allowed to live until the hrst of Noyem-
Der, would have been worth from 81 to "a.
II Is to the interest OF trappers to catch
these valuable animals only in the proper
season. In fact, they are throwing away
just so much good money when they do
