Colonel Karl is sending over a couple of wrestlers and cou- pie of boxers from the Boys club and is paving all expenses. Dave is going alorg to chaperone the young athletes.

Later he was released to the Spar tanburg team Of the Sally league and his stuff returned. Drake attributes his failure at Jackson vile to the fact that the entire ball club was a fizzle.

STRIKE ORDERED
IN COAL MINES
WORK TO BE SUSPENDED IN ALL
MINES ON MIDNIGHT OF
MARCH 81
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN AFFECTED
First Time in History That All of
the Mines in United States
Have Been Involved

Suspension of work by all union coal
miners at midnight March 81 was
ordered by officers Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, the call being the
first ever issued for both bituminous
and anthracite workers to walk out
simultaneously. Six hundred thousand
men will be affected by the order, it
was estimated officially. The sus-
pension, the order provided, will con-
tinue until stopped by union officials.
The order, which was sent to the
5000 local unions, directed the miners
to give their operators their fullest CO.
operation in the protection Of mine
property and counseled against vio-
lence and violations of the law. In
addition to affecting all union miners
in the United States, the order also
directed approximately $3.50 union
men in western Canada to join in the
w%alkout, but did not apply to $4,000
miners in Nova Scotia.
Never before in the history of the
coal industry has a suspension or
strike order called for cessation of
work by all union miners in the United
States. In the past, wage con-
tracts in the bituminous and anthra-
cite fields have not expired at the
same time but a complete tieup i'm
union fields was considered during the
great anthracite strike in 1902. A
sympathetic strike by the bituminous
miners at hat time was rejected by
the unions convention, it being ar
gued that the soft coal workers were
bound by a contract.
The issuance Of the call came with
the recent vote of soft coal min.
ers not completely tabulated, but IL
was said officially that the work of
the unions board Of tellers had pro-
crossed to such a point as to show
every field voting overwhelmingly in
favor of a suspension. Indications
were that nine-tenths of the miners
favored a walkout.

A OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week showed improvement. Jobbing
and retail trade and industry feel
spring urge. Western reports most
cheerful. Iron and steel and building
show most activity. Distinct improve
ment in winter wheat helps country
trade. New England cotton mill and
possible coal striges affect buying in
some areas. Dry goods, millinery,
shoe, grocery, paint and builders
hardware lines best situated. Textiles
in primary lines slow, awaiting clearer
view Of further future. Cuts in
sheetings by mills bring out buying.
Wool trade quieter. Copper export
trade reported improved. Less unem.
ployment in important iron producing
and consuming areas. Financial lines
cheerful. Call money lowest in two
months. Time money easiest in four
years.

STOLEN AUTO IN STRAW PILE

A Buick touring car practically
brand new and in first class running
condition was found in 4 lar :, straw
pile -" n Ian seven miles south OF
Brookings last week. The automobile
was the property of a M )ody county
man, Mr.. Eldringer, from whom it
was stolen about the first Of January.
1t is thought that the automobile has
laid hidden in this straw pile since 1t
was stolen, three months ago. The
thieves had dug a hole in the stack,
being careful not to disturb the top
Of the pile, backed the auto into the
hole and covered it up neatly so that
the closest inspection would reveal
nothing out of the ordinary. 1t was
not until the farmers began hauling
away the straw and digging into RE
stack that they accidentally struck The
automobile. 1t was lucky chance that
they did not burn the stack as is so
commonly done. The car was filled
with gas. in fact everything was in
readiness for a quick getaway. Why
the thieves did not make their planned
departure, is a matter of conjecture
which interests the police. Sheriff
John Nolan is working on a clue which
seems likely to throw light on the
mystery and connect it up with the
work Of certain criminals who were
operating in this county at that time.
One Of them at the present time is in
the penitentiary at Sioux Falls and he
will be questioned concerning the
case.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE BETTER

year there were only about 200 boys
and girls, outside of the city OF

grade Of the public schools of the
county. This year there are over $50
in the Eighth grade. There are ABOUT
the same number in the seventh
grade. Up to the time of the storms
in February, the attendance on the
whole has been good; many schools
having almost perfect attendance for
several months. Since the snow and
storms there have been many alb
