Mia ers' Strike.
KraMvIlk Oaarttr,
There has been trouble brewing be
tween the operators and miners along the line of tbe L. E. St. L. for some
time, which has at last culminated iu a
general strike. The amount of coal
takeu out at these mines is said to be inconsiderable, the larger part of which
has been taken by the railroad company, that which has reached tbe home market being simply the excess over tbe road's demand. As tbe price of coal had been reduced elsewhere, tbe railroad demanded a reduction oa tbe price foraier-
ly paid, and. to meet this tbe operators
demanded a reduction of from 10 to See
per tea from the price paid the miners. This wae refuaed, and a shut-down of all
tba mines exesm at Caaadler wae
result. Tbe affair is a very serious oae,
for the mea, aa there la ao prolMhUitjr of
tue operators receding from tbeir pur
pose, because by doing so they would be
compelled to do busineee at a lose. There has been ao movement started
towards an adjustment, and uuder tbe
circumstances the only thing that can be
dono is tor the men to submit or seek employment elsewhere. At the prieea
paid the men and tbe ruinoue competition iu hueine, these owning the mines
claim tbey could do nothing different,
and if 'tbeir miners persist la tbeir de-
maud the shut-down wil) eoetiaue until coal eau be sold at a profit.
Circle HuMtinsr for Fexee.
The first thing to do says aa eld resi
dent of Indiana, ia order to make a sue
ceseful fox diive, is to select a brier
thicket or an unclean spot la a large field and plant a center flag tbat eau be
aa from any direction for a quarter of
a mile, men arrange your roreee in
four lines or more; fix tbe time fer each
line to start : have at least oae target
gun or musket on each line to be aeed
for signal purpose oaly; let tbe lines
halt at least a quarter of a mile abort of
the flag aad when the line tbat has the
greatest distance to travel reaches this
outside etatioa let the signal be fired.
Whoa the fourth run Area then close in
upon tbe thicket. Every fox will be ia tbe thicket and get caught.
If you try to close in oa an open field
it will require a hundred mea to the a a . a
idx. ir. uowever. you give them a
hiding place they will await your com
ing. I learned this, says be, from wolf
hunting oa tbe prairies of tbe wast.
An exchange gets dowa to business in
tbe following style: Maay people think
newspaper men are practical duaaere.
By way of comparison let us suppose a farmer raises 1,000 buebele of wheat a
year and sells this out to 1,000 persons in all parts ef the country, a great por
tion of them saying, "1 will baud you a
dollar in a short time." Tha farmer
don't want to be small aad says, "All
right." soou tbe l.UW bushels are all
gone; but he has nothing to show for them, and then realizes tbat he has frittered away his whole crop, and that its
value is due him iu a thousand little driblet. Consequently he is injured in
bis business because his debtors, each
owing him a dollar, treat it as a small
matter. Continue this business year ia
and year out as the publisher dees, how long would he stand it? A moment's
thought will convince anyone tbat the
publisher has cause for persistent dunning. Hunt! ngbutg Argus. Or white capism the Muncie Herald says : "The recent brutal whipping of a defenselesa woman In Crawford eouuty, with bar husbaad away from home oa business aad her little chlldrea begging for their mother, by fifteen or twenty

N. A. Ledger: Instead of devieiaf schemes to bankrupt tbe national treat, ury by government warehouses fer ae?ri-
cultural products aud aroverument loeu
aad brokery business, tbe Farmers' AI
liaace should luru its atteutiott te things upon which its members are prepared to act intelligently. The financial systems
of govsrument are loag esUblisaed ami
will not be radically altered reader oar present civiliaatioa. But there are neauv
things connected with local aad geaeral
government that may be ebaaged or
amended to tbe great advantage of tbe people. As particularly affecting tbe farmer, tbe road system might wall oome iu for a large share of attention ia the
meetings of tbe various associatieaa of farmers. It Is of vastly more practical importance to the farmer tbaa whether tbe eouuty officers are -trnid by feee or
salaries; it ie of more importance tbea
the queetioa whether national banks
shall be abolished or not; whether United State senators shall be elected dirsctly by the people or not; whether tbe government shall pay or 4 per coat, for money aad loaa it at S per coat, or not ; whether railroads shall be limited
to S cente per mile for rare or not. Ia short it ia of more interest to the farmers
iau all the questions tbev have been
discussing aud resolving about la tbe
past six months. Various legislatures
are discussing tbe subject. Suppose some of our farmers' societies take it up and memorialise our geaeral assembly on
ine suDject. The Iron bridge oa Otter creek, near the G. k . I. road, on tbe eouuty line, saya tbe Brazil Democrat, Is a novelty, or none-such, iu tbe bridge building line. At tbat point tbe railroad and the wagon road eroee tbe creek in close proximity. Tbe board first located tbe bridce
alongside tbe railroad and partially oa the right of way, but a failure to asake satisfactory arratigerueuta with tbe oompauy necessitated a cbanre in tbeir
origiual plans. Having surveyed tbe
situation again, it was determined to lo
cate the bridge away from Otter creek, oa aud over drv laud, then recoaetract
