Indianapolis, Ind Jan. IS. The
question of war or peace In the coal
fields will largely depend uopn the
result of the 17th annual convention
of the United Mlneworkers of Ameri
ca, which opened here this morning
At Tomllnson hall. The convention
was called to order by President John
Mitchell, who delivered an address,
explaining the present situation and
gave a clear statement of the decis
ions of the anthracite miners' conven
tion at Shamokln. Tho rest of the
morning session was devoted to the
appointment of committees and other
routine business.
There is a strong feeling of deter
mination among the delegates to the
convention, based upon a full realiza
tion of the present situation and of
the probable precipitation of a seri
ous' crisis, In case it should be Impos
sible to bring about an agreement be
tween the miners and the operators.
All agreements as to wage scales,
etc., between miners and operators In
the bituminous and anthracite coal
fields expire on March 31. While it
cannot be said that the conditions In
- the bituminous fields are Ideal, It
must be admitted that they are by no
means as serious as In the anthracite
fields. The miners In the bituminous
fields are not confronted with as seri
ous problems as those In the anthra
cite fields, owing to the demands re
cently formulated by the anthracite
miners at the Shamokln convention.
The miners In the bituminous coal
mines will undoubtedly make cerUiln
demands beyond the conditions grant
ed by the operators under the present
agreement, but It is believed that an
agreement will quickly be reached

without a great struggle ft Is dif
ferent with the anthracite miners.
Their demands are of such & radical
nutare that an acceptance of their
terms Is scarcely expected. All that
oaji be reasonably be hoped far is that
lie operators, after mature delibera
tion, will consent to submitting the
mutter to arbitration. Even that they
will not willingly do.
The principal obstacle In the way
of a settlement is the demand of the
miners for recognition of their union.
Many operators are known to be bit
terly opposed t a recognition of the
union. They fear that such recogni
tion would seriously cripple them In
handling their mining properties, as
It would practically destroy any op
portunity of dealing with their men
Individually. A compromise Is
scarcely to be expected, as the miners
fully understand the vital Importance
of the demanded recognition, without
which, they feel, no permanent Im
provement of their condition can be
expected.
The demands of the anthracite min
ers will be the first matter lo be con
sidered by the convention and thero
Is but little doubt that the conven
tion will strongly endorse these de
mands. President Mitchell and his
trusted lieutenants, District Presidents
Fahy, Nlcholls and Dettry, who are
conducting the campaign of the an
thracite miners, are confident that the
convention will back up the anthracite
miners. At the same time they will
do their utmost to hold down the rad
ical elements among the delcgutes an!
keep them from committing any In
discretion, which would precipitate a
war between the miners and operators
without hope of a final adjustment of
the existing differences.
KuKult Was Expoiudvc LllJuuttaa
Which Is Still Pending.
Cincinnati, O.. Jan. 16. One of the
most Interesting attractions at the
Cincinnati Poultry and Pet Stock x-
hlbltion, which wus opened here to
day, is a rooster, which promises,
through litigation, to become as fa
mous In history as the celebrated calf
In the Jones county, Cal., case.
The rooster In question was exhib
ited In Minneapolis lust year. At the
conclusion of the exhibition he was
placed In a crate for shipment. It
belonged to an exhibitor in the state
of New York. While the crate was
with others In the exhibition hall, a
Kansas exhibitor accidentally struck
his hand against the crate with such
force, that a large solitaire diamond,
valued at J200, broke from the setting
of his ring and fell Into the crate.
The rooster quickly picked up the
gem and swallowed It. Then there
was great excitement.
The owner of the diamond de
manded that, the rooster should he
killed, but the owner objected to the
killing of the animal, maintaining
thnt It was not his fault that the
rooster had swallowed the dlamsnd
and that the rooster was far more
valuable than the diamond. The
Kansas man went to the courts for
relief and for the last year the case
has been dragged through the state
courts, without any prospect of Im
mediate settlement. The rooster dnee
not seem to mind the trouble he has
caused by his greediness.

THEY SAW AX EXCELLENT SnOW
"Johnny Comes Marching Home"
."Drew a Large Audience.
Those who saw "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home" at the Fra
zer theater last night were treated to
something considerably different from
the usual comic opera. Although It
is classed as such, there Is compar
atively little fun-making, and the
feature of the show is the singing,
principally of stirring songs of the
civil war days. Also, It la Interesting
through portraying the fashions of
that day.
The scene is located nt a southern
lionic during the war, and the char
acters aro northern officers nnd
southern girls. Of the former the star
is Johnny, who comes home In a uni
form of blue after 15 years absence,
and for a time Is known only to his
sweetheart, Kate Pemberton. While
he is thus unknown to his father and
the remainder of the family, Jona
thim Phoenix, a soldier against his
will, through force of circumstances
Is led to puss himself ns the long
missing' son. However, developments
bring out the real Johnny Phoenix Is
"upset.'
W. P. Carleton, who plnys the role
of Johnny, Is the star of the show,
and Is certainly adapted to the part.
He Is big In stature ns befits the mat
Ineo hero, and has a strong baritone
voice. Also, his leading lady, Miss
Gertrude Vaughan, Is a pleasing sing
er. Those present were repaid for
their attendance by the singing of
these two. One duet which was es
pecially appreciated was "Love's
Light," given at the opening of the
second act.
Of the colored aggregation, C. D.
Burt as Uncle Tom, made a hit when
he sang "Ma Honeysuckle Gal," and
was called back repeatedly.
The "Johnny Comes Marching
Home" troupe Is quite large, and as
a result they were crowded for room
on the stage of the old theater, which
Is not adapted to hoopsklrt choruses.

If every one in this city who has
no piano but who needs one, and has
the money at our especially low terms
to buy one, could fully realize the truo
facts in the case, our Pendleton store
would be a perfect Jam by 9 o'clock
this morning, with people, fairly
crowding each other In their efforts
to secure an Instrument out of this
splendid stock of fine pianos that we
are forced to close out at prices to
lose sight of cost altogether, and our
sale would no doubt Le ended by this
morning.
Our reasons for making this sale,
and conditions surrounding It, have
been fully explained In previous ad
vertisements. It will cost the reader
nothing to Investigate our honest
claims, and If you ever expect to own
a piano, now Is the time to save from
$50 to $200 on your purchase.

fever. O. M. Sherman, Jr., and Theo

railroad is coming right by their
ranches, and that there Is the place
for a town. They have thought of
laying out a townslte, but could not
agree on a name. Mr. Sherman want
ed to call It Sherman, Mr. Flackus.
Flackus, then they thought of the
compound word, Sherkus. but finally
settled upon Flackman. However, the
gentlemen will wait before platting
their farms to see where the railroad
