Leaving last Friday night for the City
of Topeka, Kas., for a brief stay in the
capital of the Sunflower State, we were
enabled to see many things that would
be of interest to our readers, so we deem
it a good idea to put then in writing, as
we can not tell every one of our many
readers about them personally.
Kansas, as many have said, is the home
sion arise, and to the family of any de-
ceased member a stipulated sum suffi-
cient to meet all requirements and leave
a nice sum besides. It is as good if not
bettter than an insurance policy. One
thing in its favor is the small sum col-
lected every three months, which goes to
guarantee each member a sick bnefit,
should it be required.
This is guaranteed every member and
The Potato Jn the West.
Twenty-five years ago potatoes were
so high in price in certain towns in the
Rocky mountains that the merchants
handling tliem often reserved the right
to retain the peelings, which, in turn,
were sold for planting purposes, the
eyes of the potatoes thus having a con-
siderable commercial value, obviously
in proportion to the distance from the
nearest railroad or steamboat line.

In spite of the warm weather quite a
large number of Clerks gathered at the
hall last Wednesday evening to listen to
the encouraging report of the Picnic
Committee, and at the same time take
such action as necessary upon important
business before the Association.
The Picnic Committee made a long and
interesting report of their work, the ef-
fect of which has redoubled the interest
the members are taking in it.
There has been more good, hard work
done and more genuine interest taken in
this picnic, and the results will be more
gratifying than any in previous efforts
the Clerks have ever made.
The Clerks are beginning to under-
stand, as they should do, the purpose of

“We Don’t Patronize” list of the Ameri-

Moore Brothers,
they are all just as loyal to the new or-
ganization as they used to be in the olden
times. The barbers are doing well, too;
they close their shops at 7 o’clock in the
evening, Saturday at 11 o’clock and no
Sunday work. We can remember in this
old town when the barbers, clerks and
other trades had to work nearly the
whole of Sunday, but organization brings
many changes for the benefit of man,
and this is one of the blessings—exemp-
tion from Sunday work.

FOR A GENERAL STRIKE.
While the committees enjoy working
on the plans, program and the minutest
detail every night, yet it is not for fun
or glory alone. They have another idea
or purpose in view.
The vast amount of work, -worry and
money necessary to make a picnic the
success that it should be is not a think
to be lightly considered. Everyone, and
especially the Clerks, should bear in
mind why this picnic is given and work
with a vim to make it a grand success.
Perhaps some do not know why, or are
too timid to ask the reason why we give
a picnic, and to these we will say that it
is for the sole purpose of increasing our
“Sick, Relief and Death Fund.” The
money taken in on this occasion goes into

ends the sixth week of the anthracite
coal miners’ strike. Neither side has
weakened an inch and each side stands
just as firmly as it did thirty-five days
ago. As the days go by it becomes more
apparent that is a case of the “survival
of the fittest.” Neither the miner nor tne
operator has anything further to propose
and if a solution of the dispute is to
it looks very much as if it will have to
come from a third party.
President Mitchell to-day received ad-
vices from West Virginia, which, he said,
are extremely favorable to the strikers.
One telegram from the Kanawha and
New River districts, where a total of
13,000 men are employed, says that 12,100
men are on strike in the territory.
The statement printed to-day, and al-
ged to be from an official close to the
large coal companies, to the effect that
the strike is teaching the operators to
economize the working force at their
mines, and that after the stike is over
less than 100,000 men will be used in the
mine, is denouncea as a “fake.”
President Mitchell says the idea em-
bodied in the statement is absurd even
from the operators’ viewpoint.

something unusual for them. Then on to

country over, and we all suffer alike.
Riding along the line of the central
portion of Texas, we paid special atten-
tion to the conditions of the crops. We
find that in the southern part of the
State the farmers are in need of rain
very much. The whole southern part of
the State is dry and the crops are in
bad shape. Leaving Gainesville, we find
the condition different. There the corn
is as fine as could be seen anywhere; just
a little in need of a good soaking rain, but
not in danger now. Passing through Ok-
lahoma, the richest and purest soil of the
whole country, we find the crop condition
very fine. Field after field of wheat, oats,
millet and corn can be seen for miles on
either side of the railroad. The farmers
have about, finished the harvesting of the
wheat and me now putting their atten-
tion to cotton in the southern part of the
Territory. Never have I seen as fine
fields of wheat and corn as is to be seen
in this new farming country.
Passing pon through Kansas, where we
have seen the grasshopper come and mow
every blade of green fields to the ground
in a single night, we find the crops in
fine condition. On either side of the
railroad we see the same picture. Fields
rich with yellow of gold, standing as
proud as can oe waiting patiently for the
reaper to come and mow them down. The
outlook for crops in Kansas this year is
