BULL LOST AND FOUND,

Some weeks ago Stuart n. Ar
buckle missed from his premises
near Maxwelton, Il fine yearling
bull. Unable to find him by dill
gent search and inquiry he adver-
tiscd the loss in the independent,
but even printers ink failed 10 find
the bull. Stuart had about despair
ed and had become reconciled TO
the loss when one day Mrs. Shaw
yer, who lives on his place and had
been out hunting her chickens,
came in and reported that she had
seen the animal, not very far from
the barn sunk to the level of his
back in a Sink-hole. BY digging
down the edges of the hole on
either side it was soon filled when
the bull with a little urging and
even more assistance. for he was
very weak, walked out of the hole
and bowed his thanks. He had been
held there for nineteen days and
could not have stood such test of
fasting and solitary confinement
much longer. He had lost several
pounds. but gained steadily when
released and is now o. k. but a lii
tie shy of holes in the ground.

The OLD STONE CHURCH REVIVAL.

The great revival meeting lately
held in the Old Stone Church, Lew
isburg, closed Sunday night. Oct.
26th, after three weeks ofS almost
constant prayers by the church
people and preaching day and
night by Rev. DR.. Trigg A. NJ.
Thomas, OF Kansas City, assisted by
the earnest efforts of the pastor,
Rev. w. IL. DuBose and by the
Presbyterian and Methodist preach
crS Of the community, and by W..
&. Maltermirc, Of Birmingham, Ala,
who led the large choir.
The number of decisions for
Christ reported as the result Of this
meeting is large.
AT the service on Sunday morn
ing, Nov. 2d, the Session OF the Old
Stone Church received 1856 new
members, including affiliate MEM
bershipS from the two schooloS and
the number received by letter, and
it is believed there will be others.
Quite number of the converts
connected themselves with the
Methodist church. Here ii may be
remarked that one of the most
notable and fratifying features of
these revival services was the har-
mony, cooperation and good will
with which Presbyterian and Meth
'odist preachers and people worked
together for the glory of the Mas
tcr's kingdom on earth.

At Carnegie Hail. Lewsburgl Saturday, November 9th. q

Connellsvillc coke region and all OF
Somerset county, which is the
largest coal producing county in the
Stale, were III operation Tuesday,
Mr.. Lewis stated. Everything in the
central competitive coal producing
districts is at Il slandstill.
The miners at number OF mines
in the New River district have al
read! indicated a desire to return
10 work. Mr.. Lewis said. These
miners realize that tl.c wage agree
mcnt in New River district has been
rcpudiatcd by the action Of officials
OF The United Mine Workers, and
the sentiment among them is for Il
quick return to their occupation.
The daily papers Wednesday
morning reported the coal strike
as marking another day without in
cident beyond the ordinary. No
disorder of any kind was reported
from West Virginia fields under the
jurisdiction of President C.. F..
Keeney. of District II, and accord
ing to information gathered the
same happy condition obtained in
the other organized and unorgan-
lied districts Of this and adjoining
states.
The outstanding development in
Il local way was a sort of stand
eff i'm indicating any trend of Senti-
ment among the miners, if reports
are correct. Mr.. Keeney received
information, said by him to be
trustworthy, that Two unorganized
mines in Logan county employing
$50 miners, one at Stone Branch
and the other at Big Greek, had
shutdown, and Il. l.. Lewis gave
out the information that one of the
mines Of the New River district had
resumed operation with the miners
all at their tasks save one. Walter
II. Cunningham, secretary of the
W. Va. Coal Associa iatiOn. who was
in Charleston Tuesday. stated that
another mine started up in the
northern part of the state that
morning, making sixteen in all that
are now operating.

PALMER TALKS WITH LABOR CHIEFS.

Railroad union. officials, confer
ring late last Saturday with Attor-
new General Palmer, entred no
protest against the Injunction issued
in Indianapolis that day against the
calling of the coal strike and tend
cred the good Offices OF their or
sanization in attempting to arrange
a settlement of the strike. The At
torney General told the railroad
union chiefs as we'll as Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, with whom
he conferred after the meeting with
the railroad men, that he did not
believe it would be necessary to
use any other power than the courts
ITO protect the government"
Mr.. Palmer said he told the nu-
ion men that they were at liberty
to say to either side of the strike
that the President was ready TO act
immediately to have the controver-
sy settled amicably whenever the
strike was called off.
President GomperS and other Of
licials of the Federation Of Labor,
were said, however, 10 have urged
their views on the matter of the in
iuction in their conference with the
Attorney General.
81 explained the necessity for
the action" Mr.. Palmer said, "and
the manner in which this case must
be differentiated on its facts from
all other cases in which injuctions
have been used. | have been OPP
posed and the administration has
been opposed TO government by in
iuction whereby employers might
use the process of the courts on an
cX-partc hearing to force their en-
ployees into submission.
"This is the government itself,
using its own courts to project itself
from paralysis. 1t is moi an in
iuction obtained by employers, not
fir the benefit of employers. not TO
settle the controversy, but to save
the people of The entire country
from disaster. 1t doesn't affect the
right of man TO work when he
pleases.'

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

The strike of bitumiiouS coal
miners went into effect last Friday
night at ~ o'clock with the national
headquarters at Indianapolis of the
United Mine Workers of America
silenccd by a restraining order is
sued by Judge Anderson, Of the
Federal district court. No last
word" or other message to the
members Of The union could be is
sued by the executive board or Of
licers Of the organization and they
only smiled grimly when this fact
was brought to their attention.
While the strike order was cnec-
live at midnight, most of the men
who were following it quit work
with the ending of the day shift.
1t was stated several days before at
union. headquarters that midnight
of Oct. 31st was selected by the
officials at Indianapolis merely be-
cause it marked the beginning of
Nov. 1st, on which date the Cleve-
land convention of the union had
decreed that the war time wage
agreement of the miners should
terminate.
The petition for the Injunction
emphasized that the suit was OaScd
upon wartime act by which the
the fuel and food supplies Of the
country and also pointed out that
the strike would cause cessation of
transportation and thus throw back
upon the public treasury the buurd-
ell Of paying the guaranteed income
which the Government contracted
TO pay the railroads when ii took
control of them. 1t was a SO brOt
OHt that the act in question Spccifi-
cally provided that it was TO con-
tinuc in force until the end Of the
state of war had been proclaimed
by the President.
Altogether cighty-four leaders Of
The big coal miners union were
named in the restraining order.
There is no disturbance i'm The
strike districts and though troops
are near at hand TO preserve order
and to protect men who want to
Awork it does not appear, now that
Trey will be needed.
The mines Of the Pocahontas dis
irict, Tug River district, Winding
Gulf district, Guyan district, Will
liamsonThackcr district, six mines
in the panhandle district and few
small mines in The northern section
of the State are operating to normal
capacity. The Royal mine and
Lookout mines in The New River
district are operating, and also The
mines at Kingston and Westerly on
Paint creek, as well as mines at
Dundon on the Coal 4 Coke Ry.
These mines represent an annual
product of nearly 50,000,000 tons
out of The total production of the
State, this indicating that mines
producing the major part Of the
coal of the State were going ahead
full speed on the opening day of
the national coal strike.
The above gratifying information
was given out by r. l.. Lewis, sec
rctary Of The New River Coal OPP
orators Association and former
president Of The United Mine Work
crS Of America. Mr.. Lewis is keep

The Bank Of Monroe, at Union,
installed last week manganese
steel quadruple bank safe built by
the Mosler Safe Co. 1t is, says the
Wdtchn,dR, the last word in the
construction of burglar-proof safes.
Burglars are a smart and progress
sive lot and experience has shown
that an acctylene blow-piper in the
hands of an expert yeggman can
burn its way into an ordinary safe
in 81 seconds, But the invention
of manganese steel effectually balks
all such efforts. The MQsler people
guarantee this safe to be absolutely
burglar proof. 1t is large and
roomy, is provided with q triple
time lock and is q triumph of me-
chanical genius.
