Two thousand people. most button
cutters and their families, have left the
town. Fifty small merchants are pinched
for money. Men and women are going
underfed and pale-faced children are
shivering from lack of proper clothing.
And all on account of nine bullheaded
button manufacturers. These nine man
ufacturers have turned the little corn
belt city upside down, and for many
months have held Muscatine in state
of civil war. Many of the people carry
guns Everybody here knows it is a
downright shame, and now, at the
eleventh hour, figuratively, they are
awakening to the fact that the manu-
facturers themselves are almost entire
" to blame. These manufacturers say
that there is no way to settle the trouble,
but there is always way, just as in
the Des Moines railway strike, and the
people of Muscatine who have previous
ly backed the manufacturers, are begin
ming to realize that the manufacturers
are goldbricking them The manufac-
turers have bluffed their way through,
inspiring the police, sherin, and hired
Chicago thugs to bust the heads OF tot
tering old men. They have offered no
remonstrance to the falling of women
and girls, deluded through some strange
process of reasoning into believing that
brutality will bring the strikers to time
1t is amazing to note that even here and
there can be found otherwise reputable
citizens of Muscatine, who believe thar
this sort of anarchy is the way to settle
labor dispute. Yet good citizens are
found encouraging lawlessness. and even
the dignified Commercial club has passed
resolutions heaping embers on the
flames Men who stand high CONNER
cially. professionally, and socially have
so far forgotten themselves as to en-
courage, in the name of the law, crimes
that ordinarily send men to the peniten-
tiary A crime is crime. whether 1t
is committed by a button manufacturer,
a patrolman, a police judge or sheriff.
and the sooner Muscatine realizes that
they are hypnotized into condoning
worse acts than any they are able to
lay at the door of labor, the sooner 1t
will again its feet. They have only to
ask themselves just how much more con-
sideration should be extended button

man, and the strike will end

From every quarter comes favorable
reports of the great strike on the Harrt-
man lines and Illinois Central While
II is impossible to give in detail the ex-
act situation, yet, from all Information
at hand. the position which the strikers
hold is exceedingly good. J. w. Kline.
president OF the International Brother
hood of Blacksmiths and Helpers, in
nominal charge OF the strike. says: The
strike on the Hartman lines and Illinois
Central goes on: the prospects look
much brighter for the men every day.
Dead engines and bad order cars fill the
sidings and clog the yards. There is no
doubt about our final victory"
There is no truth in the report given
out by n Los Angeles editor that the
men had offered n compromise.

ton from Illinois to Oregon. He finds
the strikers in good condition
Sparks. Nev.-The scabs have had
their free board cut on. and have held

this place.
Sharon Springs, kan.-The engines
that 20 out from this place have been
meeting with awful luck Scarcely any
OF them complete their trips. most of
them dying" on the main line. Condi-
tions are normal says the company.
Tracy, Cal.-The company has let
out" fifty of their watchmen. Three
others got drunk and tried TO shoot up
the town. They were arrested and lined
$40 and costs. The price OF board for
scabs is IS to 5000 per plate-they are
not wanted. The rent on the house the
scab foreman lives in has been raised
from $40 to 5000. He is going to move.
Strikers standing firm.
Red Biun, Cal.-Men Just as true to
the federation as they were when the
strike was called. Rolling stock In bad
shape. Very few strikebrcakers here.
Yuma. Cal.-The strikers are arrang-
ing for big benefit. The one given on
the 9TH was big success. Passenger
trains all behind time. Ray Horn of the
BIacksmiths called here and cheered
the boys up with good news.
Marshall. Texas-The Texas Pacific
ofiicials have asked for conference
with the executive board in regard to
signing up with the federation. This
action bids fair to signing up another
road, thereby preventing adding large
number to the list OF strikers. Certainly
good news.

DIES In JAWS OF SHARK
Sailors See Man Devoured by Man
eating Shark in Pensacola
fIarbOr.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 9.-Death
between the jaws of a monster
man-eating shark was the fate of
Jules Antoine, an aged seaman, in
the harbor here late yesterday af-
ternoon. The gruesome sight was
witnessed by the crew OF the Brit
lsh steamer Aldersgate, on which
Antoine was employed as a watch
man, and by half a hundred bay
men engaged in loading the vessl.
Antoine evidently had fallen ov-
erboard by accident, for the first
seen of him was when the shark
swan leisurely out from between
the ship and the lighter of lumber
with the body of the man clamped
between its jaws, the head and
shoulders protruding from one side
and the legs from the other. For a
moment the shark remained on the
surface, then sank to arise a mo-
ment later with only the head in
sight, the remainder Of the body
having been swallowed.
The shark remained on the surface
the second time for nearly a min
ute ana then was seen no more.
One of the watchers tainted from
the spectacle.

II was reported some time ago
that Jasper Stockton, who has a
nice apple oachard near Hatfield
twelve miles south of Mena, had
practically cleaned the platter" OF
premiums at the Interstate fair at

given today by E. T. Wolfe.
Parties from Washington and
Benton counties were on the
ground early with their displays
and had them all in position when
Jasper Stockton came. After the
latter had shown his apples, there
was a scurrying to try and brace
up the other exhibits, but when the
judges made their awards, Stockton
had won the sweepstakes on best
plates, seven flrsts and two seconds
on individual displays of different
varieties.
