Mrs. Clint Wallace was at Louisa
Friday and Saturday having some den

The anthracite strike commission
seems to have sustained Mr.. Mitchell
and the miners in most of their con-
tentions and their award must be Il
source of much joy to the mine workers
and the leaders of their organization,
since the fight was pushed to victory
through the efforts of Mitchell and his
men. John Mitchellis a great man, adj
mired by his friends and respected by
his enemies During the above men
toned strike such powerful iinanciers
as Mr., ]. P, Morgan complimented Mr.
Mitchell on his wonderful control OF
men and his ability to handle the most
delicate question between capital and
labor
Under the conservative leadership Of
Mr.. Mitchell the miners organization
has gone onward and upward and it i
mot to be wondered at that the miner
in the anthracite coal fields almost idol
lie him, for he has refused large payinl
positions to stay at the head of the min
ers organization, only recently refusing
an offer of 100000 for twenty lectures
to give the time TO the miners cause.
We are not at all connected with an
labor order now. Don't know that W
ever will be again, but we certainly d
admire John Mitchell's true manhoo
and never expect to have cause to r
: greet naming our blue-eyed baby boy f'
the matchless' leader of the mil
workers j. B.
He is a good leader because he
: broad,miuded and recognizes the ia,
that operators have some rights AS VT
n as their employees Here is what
r said in a speech at Huntington la
a Tuesday, after Stating that he was n
A an advocate of strikes;
!. Il am one who wants e see peace,
honorable peace, between labor al
+ capital, want to do my share to t
tablish the best.

postofflee Robbers.

The arrest OF burglar Burns,
mentioned last week, completes the
work OF bringing to Justice the
men who robbed the Louisa post
Office in December, 1900.
Four men committed the Louisa
robbery. James Gleason was
caught first. He was captured at
Covlngton, and was sentenced to
five years confinement in the pen
itentiary at Nashville. He was
one OF the sixteen that made their
escape last August. Last March
Inspector Kile, after long search,
apprehended +. Il. Elm NETT at Lit
tie Rock. Emmett made frantic ef-
forts to escape, but he was taken
to Louisville and convicted. He
was sent TO the Atlanta penitenti-
airy for two years. Ga May 4th
last Fred Dillon, another of the
robbers, was captured at Licking
ton by Inspector Kile. He was
semitic Atlanta for five years. Burns
still remained at liberty, and all
efforts to land him were futile.
Mr.. Kile learned that man OF
Burns description was in the
Nashville penltentlary.
The gang was one OF the most
successful set Of postoilice robbers
In the country. They committed
their depredations all over this
section, and after the arrests the
number OF robberles was consider,
ably decreased.

In garrets without hope;
They're making scads by writing ads,
For breakfast foods and soap.
