finds himself confronted with the abb

GENERAL STRIKE IN
LEAD BELT MINES.

A general strike is on among the
miners in the Lead Belt, at Lead.
wood, Bonne Terre, Flat River, and
Doe Run. The employees Of all the
companies except the National and
Desloge are out. From what we can
learn the men just walked out with
ont making any formal demand of
the companies for an increase In
wages, but after the strike made "a
demand for n raise of 20 cents. 1t
Is reported that the st. Joe Lead
company not only refused to accede
to the demand but intimated that
they would close down for 90 days.
The strike at this time is generally
considered unfortunate and ill-ad-
vised. Everything is peaceable and
no there Is no unusual disturbance.
We are not advised whether or not
any move has been made to adjust
differences.

Address OF Welcome.

Mayor W. Il. Taylor welcomed
the southeast Missouri Medical As
sociation with the following apt ad-
dress.
Mr.. President and members of the
Southeast Missouri Medical Associ-
alton:
Among the necessities of the aver
age family, such things us place
to live, something to eat and wear,
is the Doctor. He occupies pc
culiar position in the life of the fam
lily. While not member of it, yet
he is frequently as close to Its fears
and troubles, its hopes and joys, as
are its own members. He IL its
friend; its interests are his. He
makes common cause with ii, aid
ing its members topursue their ways
with the vigor Of health from the
cradle to the grave. He fights for
It, being that individual in the com
munity who, because of his temper
dllltlll anu " hliilllFi II ptHt hNlth w
cope with the great enemy of human
life.
The child Is sick. Whose kindly
and sympathetic presence gives the
mother greatest ease of mind? On
whose skill does she rely?
Our own first thought when strick-
On is, "Send for the Doctor" "But
he Is enjoying himself at the thea
ter; he is worshipping his God at
Church; he is spending scanty
period of recreation with his family;
II Is late at night and he is taking n
few hours hard earned rest" "No
matter. Don't you see Pm sick. l
have the neuralgia, or | am devel-
oping the grip, or l am suffering
from neurasthenia. He must come"
Nine cases out of ten he comes.
He has no union. No eight-hour
law for him. He has no time that
Is his own. He comes calmly and
efficiently where others are excited
and useless. II the matter is trivial
his very presence soothes the pa
tient. But, II he finds In the sick
room signs which tell of the ap-
proach of his great enemy, he stays
with that family and fights. He
strives and struggles with brain and
skill, and II he can but push off
grim death for brief space, he is
satisfied. This is his part In exis-
tence and those instances In which
he prolongs human life are his re-
wards.
To say that you, gentlemen, are
Doctors, is to say that you are our
friends.
AS our friends, we welcome you.

SoUTHWICK RECITAL.

1t is seldom that Pennington peo.
pie have had the opportunity to hear
so finished and artistic a reader as
Mrs. Jessie Eldridge Southwick,
who gave recital Friday evening
at the Opera House. 1t is matter
of regret that there was not a larger
audience, but the week had been so
full of entertainments that this one
was neglected in measure. The
subject given was Joan of Are. This
was peculiarly u timely selection,
for Joan OF Arc was, on the 18th of
March, beatified In st. Peters Ca
thedral at Rome in the presence of
30 900 pilgrims from France. The
church was decorated with pictures
of the miracles performed by Joan
and large statue of her was un-
veiled. Mrs. Southwick's voice is
thoroughly trained to represent the
various emotions, and she sustained
each character most admirably, the
close Of the third act being the most
dramatic, as Joan, in spite Of her
wound, led the soldiers to victory.
1t was an intellectual treat through
out, and the small audience rather
sad reflection on the boasted culture
Of Pennington.
