fel fr- Tfce Arc Sot Cordially Be. i eeived toy Uie Men at "Worfc. Ever since the strike the coal miners thronghout the country the miners at Smith's, Turner's, Maker's and the McCreery mines at Graceton, on the Indiana branch, have been working. The scarcity of coal, caused by the strike in other parts of the country made a great demand, and the men in the above mines had plenty of work. The Pennsylvania railroad took the entire output, and as many as 40 engines were coaled daily at the Turner mines.

On Wednesday night some 200 miners from down the West Penn railroad, came to Blairsville on freight trains and on Thnrsday morning went np the railroad to the mines and asked the men not to eo in. After some persuasion they concluded to stay out and operations at this place were suspended. On Friday the strikers concluded they would visit the McCreery mines at Graceton and take the men out The miners at that point bad a conference with Mr. McCreery and said they would continue work if protected from violence by the strikers. Mr.

McCreery said he would see they should have ample protection, and he asked Sheriff Mack to send a sufficient number of deputies to protect his mines. At an early hour on Friday morning the strikers who had forced the men out at the mines near Blairsville, to the number of 60, took up the line of march for Graceton. The Sherifl was kept posted on the progress of affairs by telephone, and on the 9:10 train he proceeded to Graceton, taking with him some 25 well armed deputies. When the strikers arrived near the McCreery works they were informed by the. Sheriff that they could not enter upon the grounds of the company and that no intimidation of the miners who desired to work would be allowed.

The strikers remained in the neighborhood all day and on Saturday they left, without making any demonstration. The miners are still at work. The mines run day and night and are putting ont 20 cars of coal a day. The works at Blairsville are still idle. The determination of Mr.

McCreery to protect his men and the sight of the armed deputies appeared to take the sand out of the strikers, and the war was soon over. On Saturday evening all the deputies were withdrawn, but are under orders to report instantly when wanted. THESE are now 41 voting precincts in this county. BOMB additional Sheriff's sales are published in to-day's MESSEKGEB. COUBT is in session in Clearfield county and two murderers will be put on trial.

COMMUNION services will be held in the Indiana Lutheran church on the last Sih- bath of this month. Preparatory services will be held as usual. THE farmers, or many of them, are now engaged in sheep shearing. They have got to clip it pretty close, if they make pay it under the Democratic free wool prices.

THESE is nothing new as to the whereabouts of murderer Bookamire since hie appearance at Patton some days since. It is understood that he is in hiding in the neighborhood of Houtzdale. THESE are two reasons why some don't mind their own business. One is that they haven't any mind and the other is that they any bminess. We have a 'number of them in this town.

THE administrator of the estate of Mrs. Bethsheba. Fleming, Mr. G. W.

Bodenhamer, on Thursday last sold the house and lot of deceased in West Indiana, to Mr. A. Cuneingham for the sum of $550. SOME person last week started the report that certain whisky dealers in Pittsbnrghad contributed $800 for use in the campaign for Judge in this county. It was a campaign lie, made but of the whole cloth, and failed to do the work intended, as such stories usually do.

The following is from the Glen Campbell Comet of last week, without change of a word or matter: "Miles C. Buterbough candidate for state delegate was in town Wednesday shaking hands with bis many friends in this neck of the woods.

He is without doubt the strongest candidate in the field for the office. If elected to the honors to which he seeks he will not require a type written speech by other parties. He has two other parties who have tied themselves together to defeat him and have even cheated the printer by going in cahoot and have placed both their names on one card to distribute among the voters. -This alone would be sufficient to distinguish their principles and cast a vote for Mr. Buterbaugh.

The reader may think we are using this space in electioneering and praising up Mr. Buterbaugh by a request, but such is not the case. We say on oar own feelings. We are not acquainted with Creps but are slightly acquaiated with Mr. McGregor, present chairman of our Republican county Committee which able body so gloriously knocked out several county papers by declaring a foul boycott by deliberately denyine any candidate the privilege of inserting his announcement in any other paper than the ones they indorsed.

We have a letter from I. E. Allen, a former Indiana county resident, but now a iroaperous farmer in Carleton county, Neb. After telling that he could not get along without the MESSENGER he says: "I have just sold bushels of wheat, or which I got $400, which does not come up to the price promised in case Cleveland was elected President. Still, I am not pre- to join Coxey's army.

There would not be so any old maids if all the girls would learn to cook. Of course that rule is subject to exceptions, for we know many maiden ladies who are splendid cooks, and who are single only because they were, perhaps, a little hard to please, and wanted a perfect man; and that kind of men, outside the newspaper fraternity, are mighty scarce. But for all that many homes are made miserable just because the wife cannot cook a passable meal. It is all right for girls to have a fine education and bo able to solve the moat difficult problems Sjd read Latin as easy as open and shut, but their education is not complete unless they can go into the kitchen and prepare a good meal.

By direction of the Postmaster-General, a new form of domestic money order has been issued by the PostofEce Department and is being gradually introduced. As soon as the supply on hand of the present form is exhausted, each office will be supplied with the new one, but no orders will be issued on the old forms after June 30th. The new form is somewhat larger than the old one, and is provided with a system of coupons that will serve as effective checks both upon the purchaser and postmaster, and, it is probable, will prove a satisfactory solution of the problem of re-issuing fractional currency for convenience in mail purchases.

While the Postmaster Ge.ner.il recommended in his last annual report, a change in the fees to be charged for the new money orders, no instructioos have as yet given postmasters on the subject, and Tt is not known that the fees-will be any less after July 1st than at present.

All such troughs must be confined to a length of road not lees than five miles, and to be so constructed as to accommodate horses and cattle with safety for those in charge of-them. No pay will be granted for more than one trough on a five mile length of road, though any person may erect a trough who chooses to do it as a public benefit. When this law-is more generally understood there will be such tronghs on every five miles of road in Pennsylvania. IT may cot be known, but it is a fact all the same, that in nearly every village all over our country are a number of detectives. True they are not noted for any great detective work done, but they expect to be.

Each one carries what purports to be a detective's badge under the lapel of.his coat, carefully-concealed by the advice of the firm that traded him the badge for a dollar. These young detectives go around with an eye cocked until they think they out" something, Then they, make their, report to the General Detective Agency and wait for' their fee of to $50. After awhile they tumble to the fact that they have paid a dollar for a senseless design not worth a nickle. one or tiro of these simple detectives in this community.
