THE OPERATORS’ THREATS.

In the Bellaire District—Tho
" , Situation at Cofi‘eel‘h
1.3.9.5?
Columbus, 0., Aug. 20. ——A published
report that certain Pittsburg district
operators had made statements that
they intend to resume even if gatling
guns have to be used and Pinkerton
men employed is characterized by Pres-
ident Ratchford of the United Mine
Workers as a “bluff.” He said today:
“There is but one interpretation to be
placed on this statement—namely, that
the operators prefer to shed blood rath-
er than negotiate a peaceful settlement.
They cannot build stockades high
enough or strong enough in the Pitts-
burg district to hold nonunion work-
men, and any effort in that direction
will fail. In the first place, there is no
unanimity among the operators, and, in
the second place, they cannot hope to
get nonunion workmen. Further than
that, the opinion of the great public will
of itself defeat their plans, even though
they were agreed and nonunion labor
could be secured."

Ohio Mines Closing.
Bridgeport, 0., Aug. 20.—The order is-
sued by the miners’ mass meeting at
Bellaire to stop all mining operations
in the eastern Ohio district is being gen-
_ erally obeyed. A committee from
Wheeling Creek visited all the peddling
banks and they will be closed tomor-
row. The mines closed today are: Wil-
son ’s, 6 men; Delach’s, 6 men; Dickin-
son ’s,7 men; Meister’ s, 25 men: Kochen-
line’s, 40 men, and Wrixon’ s, 5 men.
Two hundred more men will quit at
once. The Etna, Standard and Lough-
lin mill mines are closed, and, but for
the use of West Virginia coal, 5,000 iron
workers would be thrown out of em-
ployment. Gas is being substituted
wherever possible. Many of the mines
closed today have their market in
Wheeling. and this completely shuts
out all but the rail supply for that city.
Coal took another upward jump, and 12
cents is the price now quoted.
To Aid the Strikers.
Cincinnati, Aug. 20.—-A .Joint meeting
of the citizens’ committee for the relief
of the striking miners and the commit-
tee of ten of the chamber of commerce,

made to hold a mass meeting in Gov-
ernment square .tomorrow to further
advance the purposes of these commit-
tees. The Rev. Dr. David H. Moore,
editor of The Methodist Western Chris-
tian Advocate, will preside at this meet-
ing, and addresses will be made by the
Rev. J. W. Magruder, Father Mackey,
Bernard Bettman, General Michael
Ryan, Thomas Morrison and others.
Vice President Carney Confident.
Clarksburg, W. Va. Aug. 20. ———A meet-
ing of more than 600 miners was held
on Main street. William A. Carney of
Pittsburg, vice president of the Iron
and Steel Workers of America, was the
speaker. He said that for every man
arrested in this state ten would be sent
in from other states, and that the strike
would be won if it took one week or one
year. He will be joined here by James
W. Woods, vice president of the Cigar
Makers’ union, who spoke at Tyrcon-
nell last night.
The Situation at Cofl‘een.
Coffeen, llls., Aug. 20.——The striking
miners, numbering 400 men, who held
this village, formed groups as near the
coal mines as they could get without
trespassing on the company’s land and
talked with the miners as they Went to
work. The miners were afraid of trou-
ble, and only about 50 went to work.
Armed deputy sheriffs patrolled the
coal company’s grounds, with orders to
shoot any one who might attempt to
enter the premises without leave. When
the men quit work, they were inter-
cepted on the way home and urged to
attend a meeting, but few responded.

recognizance for $1,000, signed by sev-
eral Mount Olive men, including Mayor

The Royal Sovereign Seamen.
Portsmouth, England, Aug. 20.——The

bordination and striking their officers.
One was sentenced to a. year’s penal
servitude and the other to receive 24
lashes and three months’ penal servi—
tude.

That is exactly what Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy is good for.
Rev. I. W. Hill, pastor of the M. E.
Church at West Almond, N.Y. ,some years ago
suflered with-a cancer of long standing on
the lip and concluded to have it removed.
About three weeks before the operation he
purchased Dr. David Kennedy’ 5 Favor-

some time after the cancer was removed.
Ten long years have passed since then, and
no trace of the ugly thing has returned.
This wonderful medicine acts as a nerve

It restores the disordered liver to a healthy

The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not

in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.”
Many tires rot, because water gets

Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is

it has a tack or nail in it, may
'amage it considerably.
