plsy truant from business tor q day
or two, and wished to see Samson
comfortably ensconced and introduced.
The first day Farbish and Samson
next morning would bring others.
The next day. while the mountain
eer was out on the fats. the party of
men at the club had been swelled to
total of six, for in pursuance of
the carefully arranged plans Of Mr..
Farbish, Mr.. Bradburn had succeeded
In inducing Wilfred Horton to run
down for a day or two Of the sport
he loved. When Horton arrived that
afternoon, he found his usually even
temper rufled by bits of maliciously
broached gossip, until his resentment
against Samson South had been
famed into danger heat He did not
know that South also was at the club.
and he did not that afternoon go out
to the blinds, but so far departed
from his usual custom as to permit
himself to sit for several hours in the
club grill.
And yet, as is often the case In care
fully designed affairs. the one element
that made most powerfully for the
success of Farbish's scheme was pure
accident. The carefully arranged meet
ing between the two men. the adroitly
melted passions Of each, would still
have brought no clash. had not Will
fred Horton been affected by the flush
ing effect of alcohol. Since his college
days, he had been invariably abstemi-
GUS. Tonight marked an exception.
He was rather surprised at the cor
diality OF the welcome accorded him,
for Samson South, whom he had not
yet seen. all the other sportsmen
were men closely allied to the politi-
cal and financial elements upon which
he had been making war. Still. since
they seemed willing to forget for the
time that there had been a breach,
he was equally SO. Just now. he was
feeling such bitterness for the Ken
tuckian that the foes of less per-
sonal sort seemed unimportant
In point Of fact. Wilfred Horton had
spent very bad day. The final straw
had broken the back Of his usually
unrufiied temper, when he had found
in his room on reaching the Kenmore
a copy of certain New York weekly
paper. and had read a page. which
chanced to be lying face up Ia chance
carefully prearranged). 1t was an item
of which Farbish had known. in ad-
vance OF publication. but Wilfred
would never have seen that sheet,

to his attention. There were hints

York via the police court. and who
wore his hair long In Imitation OF a
biblical character OF the same name.
The supper at the Wigwam inn was
mentioned. and the character OF the
place intimated. Horton felt this OBJ
jectionable innuendo was directly
traceable to Adrienne's ill-judged
friendship for the mountaineer. and
he bitterly blamed the mountaineer.
And. while he had been brooding on
these matters. man acting as Far

However, Hanley Falls gained
no laurels by defeating Redwood,

Jones sent all the veterans to
Minneapolis to help "Pongo" win
the pennant. Had the best play
ers been at home an easy vic
tory would have been assured.
Also, this was the last game

passed it along as a consolation
game. When it comes to gen.

Sears Estate Pays State
$63,738.A Inheritance
Redwood County Real Estate
Pays. Tax of $23,738.74, Ten
Per Cent Coming to County
ILLINOIS GETS S33O,OOO
Attorney F. Clague Of Redwood
Falls Manages MinnesOta's
Share of Immense Estate 9

Frank Clague, one of the at
torneys for the estate, and Judge
of Probate A. R. A. Laudon last
week completed the work Of pro-
batting the estate Of the late r.
w. Sears, and definitely ascer-
tanned what the inheritance tax
for the State of Minnesota and
Redwood County will be.
The personal property in Min
nesota, including mortgages,
bonds and railway stocks is val
ued at approximately 81, AGO. 900
and yields to the state a tax Of
500, 966.97. Real estate in Red
wood County is valued at $780,
600 on which a tax of $23, 1874
is paid, ten per cent of it COM
ing into the Golfers of Redwood
County. This makes total tax
of $63,735.51 for Minnesota
alone.
The magnitude of the Sears
estate is almost beyond compre-
hension. In Illinois the inheri-
lance tax paid is $4,000. This
with the S63,735 paid in Min
nesota makes total tax for the
two states of S393,735.O0. Mrs.
Sears was made sole executix of
the estate by the terms of her
husbands will, and personally
attends to many of the details
of it's management.

ly Strike State
nnent.

The strike of machinists at the
Hooven Owens & Rentscbler plant
is bect ming more effective every
day. Many contracts which this
firm had under course Of construc-
tior are completely tied up and the
firms whe gave the company those
contracts are complaining bitterly
of the shortsighted policy of She
Hoovens Owens & Rentschler Co,
in not granting the men the two
hours per week requested which
would be the means of settling the
controversy. Petty officials of this
company have been working mig ght
and day in an effort TO break the
ranks of the strikers, but their eff
forts have proven futile as the men
are standing more solidly today
than at any time since the strike
became euectlYe.
At the Hamilton Machine & Tool
company and the Kern Machine
Tool company not wheel is
turning, these plants being com-
pletely tied up.
The Black and Clawson plant is
in similar conditions. The main
fight will canter at the Niles plant
which is also closed tight as a re-
suit of the strike and every effort
on the part of the officials OF the
company to reopen with a number
of men has proved a complete
failure.

Convict Labor illegal.

Oklahoma, City, Okla, Nov. II
The attorney general of Oklahoma
has advised the state board of pub
lie affairs that its plan of working
convicts in coal mines on the state
penitentiary lands at McAlester is
prohibited by the state laws.
Several weeks ago the board an
nounced that this coal would be
mined by convicts and be used in
state institutions. Officers of the
state federation of labor filed a pro
test with the board, in which they
called attention to law enacted in
1906 prohibiting such procedure,
although The board of affairs had
previously secured an opinion from
the attorney general that sutse-
quent legislation invalidated this
act.
The federation protest was re-
fefred to the attorney general, who
reversed his former view and sus.
tanned the trade unionists.

bluff did not work. Their scheme
last week to have the men that are
not members of the union to STAN
pede the union men was another
failure on the part of the factories.
The men did not GO back to work
neither did the non union men who
tried to pull off the stunt. The
strike situation so far is about the
same as the day the men walked
out, but the men think that they
have little the best of the game
SO far. Union men are being sent
to other cities daily where good
jobs are secured for them. Mere
men will leave next week If the
strike is not settled and the factories
do not come TO their terms. About
the only thing for the manufactur
ers to do, is to grant the strikers
their demands, if they don't they
will loose all their men. Unionism
must be recognized and it might as
we'll be done now.

The "Scab" has 10 Pay a Much
Greater Price Than the
Worker he Betrays.
A "Scab Is Creature Over Whom Men and Women Weep
Human Being Without Respect.
BY JANE WHITAKER.
BY JANE WHITAKER.

"SCABr" There is no word in
the Euglish language 50 frought
with hatred as this ore word when
it is used by strikers against strike
breakers. Girls cry it with tears
of rage in their eyes and every
primitive instinct aroused against
the man nr woman who is leopard
izing their fight for better working
conditions. Men cry it with all the
unleashed passion of their natures
urging them to wage cave warfare.
If you ask them just what is a
"scab" you always get an answer
like this; "A lowdown fink who
is taking our jobs" "A gutter
bum that's scabbing on the job and
sucking in with the boss, or even
some unprlntable definition, but al
ways from the same angle-what
the "scab" does to the worker.
The thing you never get and
which has always seemed to me to
be of SO much more Importance is
what the "scab" is to herself or
himself.
A few years ago l had occasion
to talk to the wife of man who re-
manned working with few others
while the rest of his shop went on
strike for better conditions.
His two children, both of them
old enough to realize the word that
was being called their father, sat
in the room with the mother as she
talked, and while her eyes were
bright with defiance, the boy looked
down at the pattern of the carpet
and the girl looked out of the win
dow.
II told my man to work, " the
woman said dehantiy. 81 told him
we amt got no time for strikes.
He'd been out of work for months
before he got this job aud me and
the children need the money. We
got bills to pay"
Her voice was hard. She talked
feverishly. She said too much.
| She realized she WSs the wife of a
traitor to his class, and though she
had urged him on, though she jus
tilted him then, she was tasting the
bitterness of loss of self-respect.
And the children were tasting il
with her. They would never be
proud of their father again, for he
wore the brand of a traitor and they
