THE COMPANY
WILL NOT FUDGE

All of the officials of the Richmond
Passenger and Power company and
Messrs. Martin and Guigon counsel for
the company met in last Tuesday in
the offices of the company, Seventh
and Main Streets.
The meeting lasted for more than
an hour and it concerned the strike
situation, of course.
The affairs of the last two weeks
were gone over and the future looked
into carefully.
After the close of the meeting Major
Miles M. Martin, senior counsel, would
only say that in the conference there
was nothing that would encourage any
one in the belief that the company
would recede in the slightest from its
position originally taken when the men
quit work.
Major Martin was asked as to the
proceedings against Sheriff Simon Sol
ONION.
He replied that he could not give
out nothing at present, but implied
that he would shortly be able to give
some information on that matter.
| 1t is believed that within a few days
| Impeachment papers will be filed by
the Passenger and Power Company, al
'eging that the sheriff failed to pro-
tect its property and it's employees.
1 This case will be in the hands of
| some other Judge than Judge Wiskham
who will be necessary as a witness
| against the sheriff, he having vainly
urged him to make the call for the
militia.
The Virginia Passenger and Power
Company began to hire regular men
for the operation of it's lines. paying
them regular rates instead of strike
rates and aiding them in getting their
families to Richmond.
The Main street line force of conduc-
tors and motormen was completed be-
fore noon and now every place has
been filled by men with promises of
continued employment.
At the Reservoir offices, men who
came here from Baltimore, Washing
ton and Virginia cities seeking work
of a permanent nature are being nut
in the places of Farley's strike-hreak-
ers and enough of them are already
appointed to operate cars in all the
territory of the company exclusive of
'AuhSiSoICi anu tuO lnJcIuTDdu lines.
General Manager HUFF declined to
make any statement yesterday morn
ling except that as far as Manchester
was concerned the company was pre-
pared to run cars when the people
felt that there was no more danger of
disorder
He admitted that the new men were
being put on regular pay instead Of
strike breaking rates, and that many OF
them were bringing their families to
the city or preparing for them.
Baltimore has proved the strongest
source OF supply for the company The
street car mems wages there are lower
than here and applications from 200
men seeking permanent work have
been filed from that CITY,
Two stenographers were busy yes
terday answering the applications and
giving direct and authoritative infor-
nation concerning the conditions here
and the future attitude of the COM
pany with the men being hired.

SOLDIERS MAY LOSE POSITIONS

There an interesting rumor afioat
in Richmond, Va, that the en-
ployers of certain of the soldiers now
on duty guarding the strike situation
have notified the latter that their po-
sitions will be filled by others, un-
less they return to work in a short
time.
One of the cases is said to have
arisen from Lynchburg and the SOL
der has tried in vain to secure an ex-
euse from further duty. SO that he
might return and hold his position.
There are others and the men seem
considerably exercised over the mat
ter.
The public is manifestly disposed to
condemn any such action, and senti-
ment is easily with the soldiers on this
point.
There are no immediate prospects Of
sending the military away and
strike is having a most depressing s
feet upon business.

VICTORIES OF ORGANIZED LABOR

The Union Pacific strike is at last
settled. The men have been out since
June, 1902. The company has conceded
all the demands OF the men. Out of
the 1900 strikers only four deserted.
This is one of the greatest victories
organized labor has won. and was made
possible by the solidity of the strik-
ers and the immense amount contrib
uted by Unionists all over the country
for their support.
The indications are that all Difficult
ties existing at Omaha will be settled
by conferences.

RIOT AND LAwLEssNEss.

| Evansville, ina, July 6.-FOllOW1ng
four days of rioting and general law
lessness, this city tonight saw the most
terrible of it's experiences with rioters.
Seven dead and fourteen are known to
be injured, with at least that number
more thought to be hurt.
At 1880 o'clock the members of Com
pany A, First regiment, Indiana Ma
tional Guard. after days vigilance
guarding the county jail, and 100 dep
uty sheriffs under Sheriff Chris Kratz,
fired point blank into a mob of 1000
men gathered on Fourth division and
Vine street, surrounding the Wander
burg Jail and attempting it's capture.
From o'clock this morning until
the hour of tonight's catastrophe the
crowd surged about the Jail, calling the
militiamen vile names, assailing them
with stones, and berating the deputy
sheriffs, who guarded the Jail. At 9
o'clock the mob gradually became
| more and more excited, it's manifesto
lions of uneasiness more frequent, and
at 10 o'clock it was seen that nothing
could prevent an assault on the jail
At 1890 o'clock the rioters pressed
slowly forward, and innocent onlookers
and the curious followed. Slowly they
forced the militiamen back toward the
jail, until the alleyway between
Division street and the stone building
was reached. Then the leaders, with
a bicycle in their front as shield
to the bayonets of the soldiers, attempt
ed to enter the alley and storm the al
.eyway entrance. Captain Blum, of the
National Guard, ordered a charge on
the rioters Gradually the crowd was
forced back, the soldiers using their
bayonets and butts of guns. Suddenly
a rioter fell. A soldier tried to drag
him to his feet, but before he could do
80 was assaulted by rioter. Stones
and boulders began to fly through the
air. soldier was struck with rock
and fell. A rioter was knocked down
with gun butt, and then shot was
fired. The one shot started a fusillade
of musketry and shotgun fire from
the defenders.
Evansville, Ind, July 6.-The first
clash between the militia and citizens
occurred this afternoon, few hours
after the soldiers took their station in
front of the Jail.
A man attempted TO brush against
the soldiers. He was halted and turned
back, but advanced second time, grab
bling the soldiers gun and attempting
to wrest it from his hands. The SOL
der resisted and finally freed his
weapon and struck the assailant with
his bayonet. The man was not badly
injured
Late this evening man was found
trying to edge his way past a sentry.
He was caught and an effort made by
the soldier to force him outside the
lines. The guard thrust his bayonet
into the mans right side, infiicting a
severe wound The rioter wrested the
gun from the soldier after being
wounded. threw the guard to the
ground and would have bayonetted him
had it not been for the prompt arrival
IF assistance After the soldiers took
possession of the Jail this afternoon
The streets leading to the Jail were
crowded. Many incendiary speeches
were made against the military.

IGNORANCE AND HAPPINESS.

with quite heavy growth of weeds,
and in turning the land over a fringe
of them was left sticking out and up

by the use Of drag chain or a weed

A good deal Of the argument in favor
Of expensive public highways which
purports to give the money loss to the
farmers Of the country because Of the

One Of the most interesting expert
ments being conducted under the su-
pervis1On Of the agricultural depart
ment is connected with the improve
ment Of the grade Of tobacco raised in
the northern states. 1t has been dem
onstrated both In Connecticut and Wis
consin that where the tobacco plant is
grown under a canvas Of light cotton
cloth the value Of the product is raised
from Is cents a pound to 1925. The
first cost Of so preparing an acre of
ground Is about $780,. The conditions
Of warmth and humidity thus obtained
enable the Connecticut or Wisconsin
grower to produce a grade of leaf
which equals the finest product of Su-
matra. The financial results are so
gratifying that the plan is likely to be
carried out on a large scale

The real reason why peddlers, agents
of all sorts and the like do so much
business in the agricultural communi-
ties Is not so much that the farmer
really needs or even wants the things
which they have to sell as that the peo-
pie on the farm are glad to see some
body and welcome the advent of these
travellers as pleasing break in the
mOnotony of farm life
The Ben Davis is one Of the very
poorest in quality Of any apple grown
in America, yet there are more of these
trees planted and more money made
out Of it than can be done with any
other apple. This is because Ben is
handsome fellow, and good looks go
long way. Then it is large and is
first class keeper and shipper; besides
it is prolific producer. The better
types of apples are invariably deficient
in one or more Of these qualities.
The thrashing floors Of Palestine re-
ferred to in holy writ were simply a
circular space of ground cleared off a
rod or so in diameter, upon which the
sheaves Of grain were laid, the grain to
be trodden out by oxen. When the
grain was thus separated from the
straw it was winnowed by throwing
the grain and chaH against the wind.
This year witnessed for the first time
the advent of an American steam
thrashing outfit in that country, which
created tremendous sensation, as we'll
1t might.

The state Of Minnesota has one of
the best horticultural societies in the
country. 1t has 1000 members and Is

If some men with very limited cap
ttal want a pointer as to how to get
into business let them go into north
ern Wisconsin or Minnesota and get a
piece Of the cheap land up there and
just raise Strawberries and potatoes.
The strawberries, being raised so far
north, come into market after all the
other strawberries are gone and, raised
up there, are Of the very choicest flavor
and quality, commanding high prices,
for the strawberry is the one berry
which people always want worse after
they have had them and can no longer
get them. The best potatoes in the
world are also raised on the new tim
Der lands Of that section. Go up there
and try strawberries, potatoes, COWS
and chickens and make living easier

A lady reader writes and wants to
know how to rid her garden of horse
radish, which, she says, has so spread
that it threatens to monopolize the
whole garden. We have never had to
tackle this proposition and can only
suggest the remedies used to get rid
Of quack grass, Canada th1stles and
other pests, which. like the horse rad
ish, afe propagafed by suckers under
ground. II this garden lot eau be put
In some crop which will permit Of con-
tinuous hoeing and cultivation during
the entire growing season, never per
mitt1ng the horse radish shoots to get
two fl1ches high, It will probably finish
them up, for unless plant can grow
above ground it will not make roots
and suckers under ground. Another
plan would be to smother It out by
heavy fertiMzing and then growing a
crop Of sowed corn or sorghum on the
lot. We think two years Of this sort
Of treatment would finish It up. There
is one other way, and that IS to let the
stuff grow and start q horse radish
factory. The product = slways in good
demand. III #ss#}t 588 II III 81,
