other very rich men are being talked
of as candidates and are feeling out

glnia Legislature under the old sys-
tenn of electing senator's He was

MeSSrS ShuIeT
And Benninghofen,

In a statement issued through
the columns of the local papers on
Tuesday evening of this week, The
Shuler and Benninghofen Company
ameng other things intimate the
removing of their mills from this
city. This, if it were come to pass
would be very much regretted by
all In this community for the
Waolen Mills are an asset to the
city whose loss would be greatly
felt, If they were to be removed
from our midst. Knowing the
members Of the firm as we do we
are willing to believe they are not
bluffing.
1t would also be matter Of
much regret to lose the Messrs
Shuler and Benninghofen as citi-
zens. None are regarded more
highly as citizens by every one IN
our city. While perhaps they don I
know us, we have known all iour
members of the firm Stree w were
bows In knee breeches, oftimes
playing around the old mill on
Heaton Street many years ago, and
we always had the highest regard
and greatest respect for all these
gentlemen and would regret ex-
ceedingly with every one else to
see them leave the city.
But on the other hand we ar =
very much disappointed in these
gentlemen, knowing them as we do.
We were sure when this strike
came on Ii would be an easy mat
ter to adjust because of the reputa
lion of this firm to deal fairly and
! Justly, al all times, with tnelI ch'
ployees. We can't understand just
why this firm has taken such de
termined stand against organized
labor without first inyestiga
ting and ascertaining just what i
would mean to them. We believe
If the firm would call ia the com
mittee representing the workers
and sit around a table and talk i
over the whole matter could be ad
lusted within an hour Why nc
at least try it, we are sure 10 haru
can come from it.

IT WAS VERY GOOD COAL.

In reviewing his early life In Con-

amusing story Of a coal contractor who
was supplying the British feet with
fuel A commissariat officer on one oc-
casion went to him to say that man
of-war had just arrived In the Bos-
porus and was ordered to proceed to
the Crimea with distinguished officers
on board, but II was short of coal.
The contractor answered that one of
his small sailing vessels had just ar
rived laden with cargo of coal and
that he would arrange to have 1t dis
charge the fuel directly on board the
man-of-war.
A day or two later when the contrac-
tor saw his manager he asked what
had been done with about ninety kegs
Of gunpowder that had been slowed on
