SCENES
OVER DOLAN
By Associated Press. J

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 6-The reso-
iien which was defeated in the Mine
Workers convention demanding the
resignation of President Patrick
Dolan was again introduced TODAY
by the committee on resolutions and
stormy scene followed. The de-
bate was in progress when the noon
recess was taken.
i voted as | did at the Indian
~apolis conference because ] am in
favor of peace just now. In our
present condition a strike means
disaster to our Organization. Why
don't YOUR leaders tell you the truth
about your organization? Why
don't Mitchell tell you that there
are scyenB-fye thousand non-union
miners along the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road between Pittsburg, Union Sta-
ZION and Johnstown? | tell it u
Non. and ] voted as | did because /
do not want TO see you go hungry 10
defeat.
This was the statement President
Delan roared to the delegates in the
convention of District No. ), United
Mine Workers Of America, Yesterday
IN the stormiest meeting the miners
ever held in PittsBurg. There was a
determined effort to force Dolan and
Vice President Uriah Bellingham
To resign, because Doan voted with
the operators in favor Of the present
scale last week at Indianapolis. On
The floor Of the convention hall he
was denounced as a traitor and was
hissed and hooted at as he made mis-
Statements, but the convention nd
journed at 4 go until this morning
with him still in the saddle and. TO
all appearances. winner.
Dolan said Il went 10 Indian
apolis as strongly in favor Of 4
strike as any man, but when | got
there | found il would not win. We
have won too much to jeoparlize our
chances now. Zen years ago we were
getting 45 cents a ton for pick min
ing. To-day we are getting 6. -
cents for machine mining and you
are getting AZ cents for loading af-
Ter the machine. Are you going TO
throw all this gain away by strike
at this time? That is why | voted
as | did / lam not going to impcril
The prosperity that has come to us by
endorsing a strike now. The well
fare % our organization depends on
peace, and 4 would do again what 7
Mid there, even though it was decid-
edlv contrary to instructions"
The convention was n fight from
ihc time it opened until it closed,
Ono delegate presented a resolution
asking Dolan and Bellingham to re-
sian. hut it was ruled ont of order.
This started the battle, and the fight
lasted until the convention closed
for the day. II was resumed today.

Suit COMPROMISED.

The suit of the town of Maben against
the Mobile, jackson and Kansas City
Railway Company has been compro-
missed. The town of Maben sought by
this suit to compel the railway company
to build its road on a certain line, leav-
ing out the town of Mathiston, through
which latter town the original survey
and line had been located, and also de-
handing damages in the sum of $50, 900
and the sum of $4,000 expended for
right of way. The town of Maben con-
tended that the railway company had
entered into a contract by which it
agreed to build the road to Maben,
leaving out Mathiston, Maben agreeing
to pay the railway company $4,000 for
so doing. The railway company con
structed its road by both Mathiston
and Maben. The case was compromised
by the railway company releasing the
town of Maben from the $4,000 dona-
ton. and the town of Maben releasing
the railway company from all damages
sustained and from all amounts ex-
pended on account of right of way and
paving cost of suit.

THE PUPIL IN BLUE JEANS.
A Missouri Lad Who Thrashed a
Whole School as His Start
in Life.

II reckon l may as well admit 1t. I
am an ancient"
A New York man spoke these words
as he laid down a newspaper printed
in the town which he left 40 years ago,
relates the Sun.
II have just read in that sheet" he
continued, 'of the accidental death of a
schoolmate whom the reporter CLASH
fies as one of the pioneers of the town.
The account further states that he was
10, and leaves a family of five children.
well, come to think of him, he
must have been 20. He did not come
to the school where | knew him until
he was nearly grown. His father was
a hemp raiser and owned a thousand
acres and 20 negroes. He wanted his
boys in the hemp field, just as he did
his slaves.
This boy was finally turned out to
school. He came to town in an outfit
that made him the wonder of the
school.
"He wore a blue jeans homespun
suit. The coat was c~lawhammer cut
II III ~
also wore a high hat-a stove pipe as
it was then called. Such hats were
few in that locality and only worn
by gentlemen on Sundays.
$50 you can imagine how such a
lid, combined with the garb | have de-
scribed, amused the boys of the school.
| We started in to have fun with that
hot h,tf Oo0n aua ~ nm Tho country
pumpkin was a hitter and he licked
the whole school into subission.
HE put us all to shame by the rapid
advancement he made in his studies
He mastered Latin and Greek While
most of us were tagging along in the
first lessons. He became the orator
Of the class in elocution.
Two years after he came among US
he was valedictorian. He had a head
which looked like that of Webster.
He was the talk of the town.
But just about this time that boys
rich daddy died and the boy inherited
| his thousand acres. The war for the
union came up about then, and the
boy, with wonderful prescience, sold
every niger his father owned and
bought more land.
He became the richest farmer in
northwest Missouri. His Latin and
Greek and oratory were laid aside for
the farm. Hemp raising ceased to be
a source of revenue long ago. but he
| tickled the soil of his thousand acres
until it brought forth abundantly OF
| other products, and he continued to
accumulate wealth.
His last appearance in public was
as speaker for the Bell and Everett
cause. in the Lincoln, Douglas and
| Breckenridge campaign. And he was
| still wearing at that time his blue jeans.
| spiketail coat and a stovepipe hat.
When the war came on he managed
| to straddle the fence on the question,
| and while his neighbors lost everything
he stayed at home and raised corn and
oats which he sold to the government,
| while on the quiet he managed to snug
| gle a crop now and then through h
lines to the Johnny Rebs.
This is the story of Horace Connect,
who. while inspecting a dam which he
| had constructed on his great farm. in
Buchanan county, Missouri, fell from his
horse and was drowned in sight of the
| house where he was born"

Oil Struck at Barnet.

That Eastern Mississippi is underlaid
with deposits of Oil and natural gas of
unlimited extent, and that this section
is on the verge of a boom such as
brought the Beaumont fields into sud-
den notoriety a few years ago, is no
longer a dream in the minds of the pros
pectors and visionaries, but is about to
be realized. Oil has been found at Bar
net in such quantities as to justify the
Gaping of the pipes, the stock of the
prospecting company has been with
drawn from the market and the boom
ers who have heard of the discoveries
are focking to the little town so as to
be on the ground floor of the boom.
Barnet is on the line of the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad, fifty
six miles north of Hattiesburg. The
developing concern is known as the
Barnet Mineral and Oil Investment
Company. 1t has been at work for about
a year, in a quiet way. Several wells
have been put down, and the last one
has reached a depth of $50 feet. The
oil is said to be of a better quality than
lhat which has been found in the fields
of the Southwest. 1t is of a lighter
color and is less dense in substance.
