BATESVILLE, TEXAS. THURSDAY. MAY 10, 1906
NO. 18
STRIKE SETTLED.
ANTHRACITE STRIKE COMMISSION
AWARD AGREED TO.
WILL RE-EMPLOY THE MEN.
Only Exception Is Those Who Have
Committed Violence—Resume
Perhaps Monday.
New York, May 8— After carrying
cm negotiations for nearly three
months the subcommittees represent-
ing the anthracite mine workers and
operators of Eastern Pennsylvania to-
day agreed to continue the award of
Anthracite Strike Commission for an-
other three years and the men will
return to work as soon as practicable,
probably Mbnday.
All the miners who have not com-
mitted violence against persons or
property will be ire-employed and no
one will be discriminated against be-
cause of any activity he may have
taken in the strike movement. The
agreement is subject to the ratification
of the tri-district convention of the
mine workers at Scranton today, but
there is not the slightest doubt that
the delegates will approve the action
of their representatives
This outcome of a dispute which
threatened to develop into a long, bit-
ter straggle and paralyze a great in-
dustry was looked upon with consider-
able satisfaction by the coal road pres-
idents as the agreement entered into
is their first proposition made early
in Marah in reply to the mine workers’
original demands.
These miners had little to say re-
garding the agreement, except that it
was the best they could do. They
pointed out, however, that the agree-
ment entered into is the first general
agreement that has ever been signed
between the operators and miners and
they look upon it as a step forward
in their efforts to have regular agree-
ments with their employers.
Bomb in a Candy Box.
Moscow: It turns out that the man
who attempted to assassinate Gover-
nor General Doubasoff was a revolu-
tiVrotat disguised as a naval officer,
which enabled him to aproach the pal-
ace without creating suspicion. He
carried the bomb in a candy box, had
a false jasTpont in which his name
was given as Metz, which proved his
connection with the three revolution-
ists who were killed by the explosion
of a bomb in their roam on Saturday
last, that being the name under which
the apartment was occupied by the
revolutiiCinCsts renting it.
Spooner’s Busy Days.
Washington: The conferees on the
quarantine bill will not hold their first
meeting until after the rate bill has
been disposed of in the senate. Mem-
bers of the Louisiana delegation
called on Mr. Spooner, who is chair-
man of the Senate conferees, yester-
day morning, and urged him to agree
to an early meeting, but Mr. Spooner
told t'-em that while the rate bill
is pending he will not have time to
devote to a consideration of the quar-
antine measure.

THE FIRST ACCIDENT.
Three Soldiers Burried Under Falling
Walls at San Francisco.
San Francisco, Mlay 7.—The first ac-
cident resulting from the dynamiting
of dargerous wails by engineers of the
artmy occurred yesterday. Smaller
quantities of explosives than were used
last week ar now being fired, which
necessitates two or more charges of
dynamite before the desired result is
attained. Yesterday morning the engin-
eers were working in the downtown
districts. Twice had dynamite been
exploded under the facade of a tali
ruin, and a third charge was being
inserted when the wall fell. Three
soldiers were buried, hut a mass of
twisted iron partly shielded, and only
one was seriously hurt.
Two arrests for selling loquor were
made yesterday, and, a3 an indication
of the determination to suppress the
traffic in intoxicants until the saloons
are allowed to reopen, one of the of-
fenders was refused ball, and another’s
•bond was fixd at $5,000.
Coroner Walsh, after revising bis list
of victims, informed General Greely
that the total * tinker of cases handled
by his office was 319, of which 134
were identified and 185 unidentified.
This report shows thirty-nine Jess than
given by a previous count.
Only One More Month.

month .before our great convention.

down here ta the convention.
It is not necessary that you all win
•the banner, but it is absolutely neces-
sary that you be here alad see who
gets the banner. Yours until June 5th.
—Houston ’06 Committee.
Typhus Stamped Out.
Mexico City: The typhus epidemic
is practically stamped out, only two
cases and one death being reported
yesterday.
The board of .health of the federal
district and the district government
have effectively co-operated in the san-
itation of the city and especially in the
■poorer quarters. The magnitude of
the task accomplished is shown by the
fact that since October 1 there were
3372 cases and 788 deaths, one of tb-2
severest visitations of fever ever
known here. The triumph of sanitary
work continues and justifies the great
expenditure of money.
Little Girl Killed.
Muskogee, I. T.: This afteilnoon
I .ala Blaylock, the 9-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Blaylock,
was shot and killed by Tom Taylor,
8 years old. The two children were
playmates, and for some time had
been ] laying with a shotgun that was
“never leaded.” The other day Mr.
Taylor loaded the gun to kill a dog
and forgot to take the load out. This
afternoon the children were playing
with the gun, when it was discharged,
the shot tearing the top of the little
girl’s head off. She died asertantly.
Louisiana Drummers Convene.
Lake Charles, La.: The state con-
vention of the Travelers’ Protective
association closed yesterday afternoon
with the election of Ed Lucas of New
Orleans, president; Jeff D. Marks of
Crowley, fir:t vice president; Sam
Levy of Lake Charles, secretary and
treasurer.
New Iberia was chosen as the next
meeting place.
Stiff Norther at Fort Worth.
Fort Worth, Tex.: A stiff norther
struck Fort Worth yesterday morning
about daylight and the thermometer
has been dropping ever since.
The weather is raw and damp and
fires are in demand. It is not thought
it will ,be cold f/iough to do more
than retard growth of tender vegeta-
tion.
Heavy Hailstorm at Bartlett.
Taylor, Tex.: Parties in town from
the country say a heavy hall storm oc-
curred in the vicinity of Bartlett last
night. The stones were of large size
and it Is feared much damage was
done to growing vegetation. The mer-
cury was reduced several degrees in
Taylor, making furs and overcoats
comfortable.
Cigar Maker Strike.
Boston, Mass.: It was announced
at the headquarters of the cigar mak-
ers' union last night that arrangements
were complete for the strike today of
cigar makers to enforce a demand for
an increase in wages. It is thought
about 1200 men will go out.
A Governor General Assassinated.
Ekaternoslay, Russia: The governor
general of this place was assassinated
Saturday evening by six unknown per-
sons who fired volleys from revolvers
and escaped.
Farmers’ Co-Operative
Union of America.
WHAT WAREHOUSES ARE FOR.
MERCURY MELANGE.
Seme of the chief purposes of the
farmers market houses—or “clearing
houses” as they are styled in “India-
homa,” where more of them are being
established, perhaps, than elsewhere, j
may be summarized thus: to furnish!
reliable information as to the market j
act as agent for the farmer in dispos-!
ing of eggs, butter, milk, vegetables.
and in fact all farm products; to pre-|
vent the farmers from over-stocking
the market with any commodity, and
to provide storage for perishable arti-
cles, until a market can be had.
No antagonism to the local mer-
chant is intended nor Implied. It is
merely a part of the general move-
ment for controlling markets. The
producer is determined to control his
own product—and every fair-minded
man must concede the manifest just- j
ice and “decency” of the proposition
without argument. It is too patent for
denial.
The vrarehouse and market house
plans dovetail together nicely, and are
based on exactly the same idea—sys-
tematic marketing in place of the
hap hazard planlessness in vogue to-
day.
With a great warehouse and com-
press at the Galveston port and at the
other great Southern ports, and a line
of small warehouses at the market
towns in the inteiior for storing and
concentrating the Union cotton, all
working as one harmonious system,,
with our general headquarters at the
port the European spinners could be
supplied direct, at a fair and uniform
scale of prices. This would be a hard
blowr to the vast army of street scalp-
ers. But is the maintenance of an
unnecessary number of middlemen of
more moment than the welfare of the
women and children who are forced to
spend the entire fall season in the cot-
ton patch?—Mercury Password.
The Union has done much for you.
What have you done for the Union?
The Union man minus a spinal col-
umn is really to be pitied.
“The Indian scalps his foes; the
white man skins his friends.”
It requires more brains to make a
success in farming than in commer-
cial or professional life.
Try to outstrip your neighbor, not
in the number of acres cultivated, but
in the number of bales or bushels pro-
duced per acre.
South Carolina will be the next to
have a State Union. May 31 is the
date fixed.
Down with the miserable idea that
farming is not a profession, a busi-
ness requiring study and special train-
ing and thorough intelligence.
If you live on or near a rural mail
route, put up a mail box by all
means, and help sustain the route.
The Department is discontinuing rur-
al routes which are not sufficiently
patronized.
One of the leading cotton men in
Dallas, or in the Sou.h tor that matter,
remarked the otimr day that the Far-
mers’ Union during >hc cotton season
just past, saved not less than $50,000,-
000 to the South.
The Manchester cotton manufactur-
ers, now visiting this country, say that
our antiquated methods of baling cot-
ton is very expensive hnd wasteful, as
well as clumsy. No doubt of it.
Funny how times change, and men’s
ideas with them. The President now
proposes a graduated inheritance tax
on large fortunes. A half score of
years ago such suggestions were de-
nounced fiercely as “assaulting
wealth,” “arrayin. class against
class,” and oiher approbrious terms.
Surely, if slowly, the world does move.
FARMERS’ JOURNAL JEWELS.
“DEM LITTLE SINS.”
A negro exhorter—a negro of the
old time variety—was exhorting a
crowd of people on Pine Street Satur-
day afternoon when the Journal man J
happened along just in time to hear,
something rich. The humble old dar- J
key was expating on the bigness of j
little sins, and took this method oL
presenting his ideas:
"You farmers, you goes to work
and plants a big crap of cotton. You
picks it out in de fall and brings it to
town, and a cotton buyer walks up to
it wid a big old hook-bill knife and
gives it a r-r-r-rip, and he says to you, j
‘What you want for dis cotton?’ And j
den you say, "What you gimme?’ And
he say, 'Ten and a foath,’ or ‘Ten and
a third,’ or ‘Ten and a half.’ And
den you des as well take what he of-
fer you, ’cause de next man ain’t
gwine give you no more. Doan you
see? It’s dem little foaths and thirds '
and halfs dat he's after. Dey doan
look big, but some day he turn out to
be a millionaire, and what is you?
You’s des de same old farmer you wuz
when you fust started out, plowin’ old
Beck and Jim yit. Dem little sins is
like dem little frackshuns in de price
of cotton—yo better watch ’em.—
Farmer's Journal.
No warehouse,' empty smokehouse—
poorhouse!
The boll weevil’s bill is long and
sharp, but he can’t bore through iho
iron warehouse.
Wanted—Some other way to make
a living for the man on the street
with the "big old hook-bill knife.”
Warehouses here, warehouses there,
warehouses nearly everywhere. Un-
ion cotton is going to be disposed of
differently next season.
If the sidewalk wouldn’t fly up and
hit anybody except the persons who
drop the banana peels in the middle
thereof, the rest of mankind wouldn’t
care how often the sidewalk flew up.
Alabama State Union has recom-
mended the building of suitable ware-
houses at all shipping points where
the business is sufficient to justify it.
The cotton growers are waking up at
Farmer Jones needs some of it, and
last.
Farmer Smith has money ahea<T.
is willing to make Farmer Smith a
perfectly safe note, bearing interest.
From some cause cr other Farmer
Smith is afraid cf Farmer Jones.
But he puts his surplus money in the
bank, gets no interest on it, the bank
loans it to Jones and charges interest
to the limit, while in some cases
Smith indorses Jones’ note to make
the bank safe. Greatgoshamighty!
You declined to join the Union'
when it was first organized in your |
neighborhood, for the reason that “the
farmers won’t stick.” Now that the
farmers are sticking, isn't it high time
you take hold? Pray, what excuse
can you offer now?
The Farmers Union is going to be
absolutely irresistible. The movement
is going forward till the producers
bring about a proper distribution of
their produce, then everything else
will be added unto them.
CO-OPERATOR CLIPS.
Competition is the death of trade
for the producers.
Are' all the self-binders going to be
In good shape for use?
Right thinking will produce right
action and living.
Harmony—where there is no con-
flict of principle, is the watchword of
courageous men.
It is not enough that we raise the
produce. We must get a proper, just1
and equitable price for it.
Let us think right and we will act
right Deeds are only thoughts crys-
talized.
If there is not u large amount of]
great fields of snail grain on your
farm, there is some kind cf a green
farmer around there.
The producers can control all. They
have all power in their hands. When
they know how to use it there will be
something doing.
The San Francisco calamity, appall-
ing as it was, yet does not compare
with the Galveston flood in loss ot j
life. The loss of property was great-
er at San Francisco, it is true, but
we are not among those who regard
the loss of property as being of more
consequence than the loss of human
life.
We, the producers, are responsible
for our condition. Let’s work less and
think more. The man w-ho does the
thinking will make the money.
Are you giving your young men a
chance? They are our hope. We are
going to need them by and by. Let’s
bring them up in the way they should
go. They will not depart from it
The various kinds of produce to-
gether with the land from whence it
came, will furnish a very fine “basis”
for money if we should ever decide
we could make our own medium.
What a sucker a producer is who
thinks the men who call themselves
bulls are his friends. If a bull never
became a bear, there could be no
money in speculation for him.
Yes, we will prepare a place for
the produce we hold off the market.
We will build warehouses controlled
by the farmers in all the cotton coun-
tries of the South.
Ignorance loves to wear borrowed
plumes and sit in the same pew with
wisdom.
Reached High Altitude.
Here is a story which shows the real
sport of ballooning. Dr. Suring and
Mr. Bersen, of Berlin, went up for a
high record. They reached 30,000 feet,
j losing consciousness for brief intervals
then on to then on to 33,790 feet, when
. one of them could not be aroused from
! an attack of unconsciousness. The
other, opening the valve, also became
j unconscious, and neither recovered his
j senses till the baloon had dropped to
16,000 feet.
