T. P. H ill, who was in the House
last winter announces himself as a
candidate for the State Senate from
this county. The people of Sisters
ville w 11 do well to remember this
same gentleman Is opposed to any
and everything that will help Sis
tersville. Don't forget this* He
is against us for everything. He
has no use for us only in election
times. Its time for our home people
to stop voting for men for office
who stand openly and always ready
and pledged to injure our city if
they can. The tall has been wag
ging the dog long enough in this
county. When you vote in the pri
mary see to it that the name of
Hill is not on your ticket. He has
had enough favors for a young man
and should be willing to give the
ethers a chance.
The Star publishec an article
taken from the Telegraph, of
Wheeling, tbout Scott being a
soldier and thinking that noth
ing is too good for the
old soldier. We don't deny
Scott is a "Soldiering" all
right. If he loves the old
soldier so much be might
have had his pension bills intro
duced and enacted into laws years
ago and not now when he wants to
be re-elected. Anybody, not a nat
ural born idiot, with not eveu sense
enough to get into an asylum, but
what knows Scotts pension bills
are mere c?ap trap and intioduced
for sympathy and votes and will be
never heard of again after tbe elec-j
tion is over.
If Scot: wants harmony so badly
we wonder if it ever occuied to him
to pull l8F. He has had a fat job
fo- a loDg time and has done noth
ing but draw his salary and make a
gigantic ass of himself on several
occasions, so he can better afford
to withdraw than any one else. Be
sides, he hasn't the gbost of a
chance of being elected. He can't
get 25 votes in this city today for
anything.
W. E Long is out 'or sheriff. We<
had supposed the Standard Oil
Compmy wonld run him for
assessor again, but persume they
had ro use for him any longer. 1
Long stan Js about as much chance i
of being elected as a cow would. I
He will find out later on what lhe|
people think of Standard 01 Com
pany assessors if he don't know
cow.
Lynn Kirtland, our effcient Jus
tice of the Peace will be a candi
date on the Republican ticket for
mayor. He is honest, competent
and no faction or clique will run
him if he is elected. He would no
doubt make a fair and square officer
and a good mayor.
The Star is a Scott organ. After
the election, Scott will look like the
Star does now only worse, if that's
possible.
SALOON KEEPER JAILED
Three Months' Imprisonment and $200
Fine for Operating Slot Machine
in Place of Business.
Clarksburg, W. Va , Jan. 14?
Judge Masor tcday sentenced
Frank Gaughan.a prominent salcon
keeper convicted of (pirating a
slot machine, to three months in
jail and to pay a fiie of $200. Th's
is the first convic'.ton in this coun
ty and tume*cus others are tx
pected, as many machines have
been openly operated here. In
court yesterday Judge Mason said
that there was a law against slot
machines, ard he instructed the
Grand Jury to go after allegen
viohters.
An Old Woman
'
And An old Man
From Ohio
i
An old man of 64 and an old
woman of 62 are engaged in a
struggle that concerns all the peo
ple in the State of Colorado.
The old man owns some coal
mines ia Colorado, and his 20.000
miners are now on a strike because
he has been treating them worse
than he v\ould treat his horses and
dogs.
The old woman has been the
life long friend of all coalminers,
and she is now in Colorado organ
ize g and cheering them on. She
has Deen the meats of winning
dozens of strikes in the last 25 or
30 years.
The name of the old man is John
D. Rockfeller.
The name of the old woman is
"Mother" Jones.
It appears that John D. Rocke
feller has for years been running a
number of ninlng camps in Color
ado and conducting them as if they
were penal colonies* These camps
and small towns are scattered here
and there in the wild mining reg
ions of the State, and until lately
the general public knew nothing
of the labor conditions that pre
vailed there.
But five weeks ago "Mother"
Jones went to these camps. She
went from one shanty to another.
She climbed into the coil backets
and went down into the mines. She
talked with the grimy-faced ml*
ers and found out the story of their
hardships.
Here are a few of the facts she
has discovered:
la Hastings, the largest of these
mining towns, the miners live in
hovels that wou'd not be u-ed H
Pcnnsylvauia to stable mules
These shanties are not furnished
free, but bring in a large rent to
the old man.
John D. Rockefeller, who see
to need the money.
Every pay day a certain sum cf
money is taken out of the raiders
wages for school purposes, yet there
is no school.
Another sum is taken out for a
physician, yet there is no physician
A third snm is taken out for a
preacher, yet none of the miuers
asked lor a preacher.
There are saloons in every camp,
and the saloon keepers pay 25
cents a month for every miner in
tne camp.
After all these sums have b?en
taden oat of the pay envelop^ 1 1
the miners they receive the rest ot
their money in scrip ? dae bills.
The old man has started a general
store in each camp and he compels
all his miners to buy from him
His prices are higher than those of
any other storekeeper, but he has
a sure grip on all his customers.
He charges trem 93 cents for u
quart of molasses that costs him 34 !
cents. But his customers cannoi |
complain. If they do they are dis
charged.
Several waeks ago a farmer came
into Hastings with a load of fresh
vegetables for sale. Instead ot
selling his produce to the store
keeper, as usual, he thought he
wou'd sell directly to the miners
As soon as he was seen doing this
the aimed guards who are hired by
the old man to maintain order
se zed the farmer and compelled
kim to drive out ot the town.
Of course, John D. Rockefellei
may not know that these things
are being done. He has never been
in these mining camps. Bat every
one in Colorado knows that much
of the profii goes to him and thai
he has the pewer to remedy the
grievances of these miners.
The miners are compelled to
work ro hours a dav. For ever>
ten and a quarter that they dig up
they are paid in scrip for a to ?,
minus what is needed to pay tbe
I school teacher, the doctor and th?.
1 p eacher.
Tne miners ought to be happy ,
because, as the old man's son said
recently in his Bible class. 4 Thert
is more hapoiness iu giving than in
mettiT g " Tney give everything
and get nothing, so they should * e
supremely nappy. In ordtr :hai
the miners may learn this lesson of
h pplness and conientmeut every
one wo grumble is discharged.
As the miners are not paid ir
money the? can not leave these
camps. The only way to get some
where else is to wals for 20 or 30 j
milts through a wild country.
But "Mother" Jones has broken
the power of 'his old mine owner1
and storekeeper. She has succeed
ed in getting 2^,0 >0 of these men 1
to go out on a strike Jnst now a 1
bitter and determined struggle is
going on,
The old mine owner is evicting
the miners from the shanties When
the United Mineworkers Union
sent several hundred tents tor the
homeless men, the armed guard re j
fused to allow them to be erected '
in the town limits.
As yet no one can tell what the 1
end will be. If the old woman j
wins, the 2?, 000 American workers
wll be better paid, better housed j
and better fed. It the old man 1
wins, the drudgery will continue '
But what a contrast between j
this man and this woman!? Cleve
land World.

"Where do dogs which are out Oi
