Thirty-five more men were yesterday
added to the force employed In making
ready for the resumption of operations
at the oxford colliery Of the People S
Coal company.
This makes 109 men now at work at
the colliery. They are engaged in clean
ing up falls" timbering and general
repairs. AS soon as the roads are
cleared. Superintendent Hayes says, the
mining of coal will begin. Just how
soon this will be possible he could not
say, but asserted positively that 1t was
only the matter of days
That the men who have reported for
work at the oxford are determined to
continue at work Is evidenced by the
fact that they run the gauntlet OF
pickets from among the strikers at
other mines, who vainly endeavor to
get them to turn back.
superintendent Hayes says his men
are made up mainly of former employees
of the company. Committeeman Henry
j. Collins. who is in charge of the dis
trict headquarters, declares that the
men who have been gathered by the
Peoples Coal company are not strik
ers, but imports" picked up in various
places. and that not man among them
Is a miner.
FORCES ARE GROWING.
The forces at various colleries of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and the Delaware and Hudson COM
panies are reported to be growing in
numbers daily, and that If the present
rate of increase keeps up it will not
be many days before there will be
enough men on hand at some of the
collieries to make start at mining
coal. 1t is said that there are one hum
dred and ten men working at the Won
Storch slope of the Delaware and Hud-
son company and nearly one hundred
at the Delaware Lackawanna and
Western company's Cayuga coliery.
The superintendents of these COM
formation on this matter, evidently
wishing to avoid drawing the fire of
the strikers.
Secretary Richard Butland, of the
Providence sub-distric,, is authority
for the statement that four men at
Storrs No. 2 and two at Leggett's
Creek, who went back to work, have
quit again and applied for reinstate-
ment in the union. Their cases have
not as yet been disposed of by their
locals.
RETURN HOME TODAY.
The Scranton delegation to the In
dianapolis convention will be home to-
day and meeting of the district board
will be held to arrange for the distri-
button of the relief fund resulting from
the convention.
Some of the locals have been deny
ing relief to strikers who own prop
erty. holding that it is only those who
have no means whatever should be
given assistance. The property -owning
strikers demur to this. arguing that
because they were thrifty and provid-
ed themselves with home of their
own is no reason why they should make
sacrifices for less providept, and some-
times dissolute persons.
1t is likely that the proposed strike
fund will be divided pro rata.

Humboldt Man wins Out

Washington, January 4.-During
the Spanish war w. f.. Apitz, who
used to live at Humboldt, was an en-
listed man in the Sixth infantry, and
at the battle of San Juan hill received
wound which necessitated the ampu-
tation of his right hand. Some two
years ago he wrote to the then Vice
President, Theodore Roosevelt, ask
pointment here at Washington. The
Vice President replied that he would
like very much to help him, but twas
unable to do so, for the reason, as he
stated, that "the Senators control the
appointments, regret to say" Mr..
Apitz kept the letter, and this morning
he showed it to Senator Burton. 1t
occurred to the Senator that 1t would
be good joke to confront the Presi-
dent with the letter, and find out wheth-
er he was still of the opinion that the
Senators control the appointments.
Accordingly the Senator, accompani-
ed by Mr.. Apltz, went to the White
House, and the letter was shownto the
President. Reading it at glance,
he said with a laugh: 81 will now
move to strike out the last four word Is
81 regret to say" every good, Mr.
President" said the Senator, "the
sentence now reads, the Senators on
troll the appointments. That being
the case | will ask you to put Mr..
Apitz on the force at once" The Pres
ident laughed heartily at the clever
way in whico thesturnihad been called
and admitting that he was ''up against
it, " addressed note to the Sergeant
alarms of the Senate, asking him to
give Mr. Apitz a place. OF course
the request was complied with, and
Mr.. Apitz can now congratulate him
self upon his foresight in keeping a
letter which at the time it was received
seemed to be of no use whatever.
Perhaps he may congratulate himself
also on the fact that there is a man in
the White House with sense of
even if the joke is on

The County Commissioners,

The present, regular session of the
board of county commissioners is de-
void of excitement, and full of routine
work The auditing and allowing of
bills is the chief occupation, a few
road matters and other outside work
relieving the mon otony.
The board decided to make an
offer of $25 for the return of one Ben
Smith to the proper officers. Smith,
it will be remembered, helped assault
an inoiTensive Italian at LaHarpe
He was placed in jail and one night,
with two other prisoners, filed one of
the window bars of and made his
escape. He has not been seen since
and the commissioners hope the offer
of reward will serve to put them on
his trail.
For 81 consideration, permission
was given the Prairie Oil & Gas Com
pany to lay 5-inch pipe across the
Neosho river bridge at Humboldt to
supply the town with gas. The same
permission was given as regards p
inch line across Owl Creek bridge,
Application was made before the
board to have Savonburg incorpor-
ated as a city of the third class.
Heretofore the place has been only a
village. The request will doubtless
be granted, the action being but a
formality. Some error in the certifi-
cate of publication knocked ont action
