THE STORM.

Dedicated to Mrs. George E. MoMuIl-
en-.
High winds, dust clouds and darkeD-
ing sky,
Bending branches, crows low flying,
Windfalls dropping trum the trees,
Thousands in the orchards lying.
Fluttering leaves all scattered rOnFH1,
Too soon doomed to fall and wither.
Cattle huddle side by side
AS though to shelter one another
Lightning far away is flashing
Distant thunder's rumbling's heard,
IDky nebuIae now thicken
The frowning heavens all are stirred
Nearer and more binding lightning,
Crashing thunder Rain drops fall
Thick and fast and without mercy,
Drenching earth, man, beasts and all.
Pouring, dashing torrents meeting,
Overhowing onward go
Turgid streams swell, and in fury
Flood the leas and fells below.
rhe Storm King rules supreme and
mighty.
For DER an hour he's held his sway,
ae new commands the founts Of
heaven
To close, and swiftly rides away.
Behold? The eastern sky Is bright
ming,
The air is fresh, the flowers rejoice
And shake their cups and bells with
gIadness.
Inviting nature with one voice
To sing the praise of God Almighty.
The melody is heard above;
The rainbow spans the arch OF heaV-
en-,
The storm is over, and "God is
love"

The school meeting on Saturday

hence no business was done.
Some of the patrons Of the school
wanted to oust the teacher, and when
the teacher took the school she was
to teach one school when another
school was consolidated with her
school, and no means of transporting
was made. 1t is a shameful mixup
as it stands, with patrons upholding
their children.
The dry weather is being more Sc

cording to law, was properly organ

several reputable men who were
directors in the concern. He served

and if it is proven by any one Wit
purchased stock, that he did so rely

was paid for it in cash. Says he had
nothing to do with. or knowledge oI
the taking over of other or subsidiary

liz done it was properly and legally
done. Now If he can and does show
that the company had a fair fnancia

be mistaken in his judgment anC

MINERS CONFERENCE FOR
WAGE INCREASE DELAYED
Operators and Workers Postpone Ac-
ton Until Convention Completes
Business at indianapolis

INDIAAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-The joint
wage scale conference between the
operators of the bituminous coal mines
in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana and the organized mine
workers of these states, appointed for
tomorrow at Toledo, was postponed by
the convention of the United Mine
Workers of America tonight because
the convention had not completed its
business.
The convention today adopted the re-
port of the wage scale committee de-
manding an increase for pick and ma
chine mining of 10 cents a ton and an
equivalent for workmen inside and out
side of mines, and stipulating that
mined coal shall be weighed before
screened and paid for on that basis
Contracts in all the bituminous coal
fields of the United States and Canada
are to be made on this scale this year,
and no district will be permitted to
sign a contract until all have secured
the uniform agreement with the
operators.
The miners purpose, as expressed in
the convention, is to make any strike
ordered a national strike.
