PRESIDENT AND THB STRIKE.
As ?*e clouds lift, one good result ot
the strike is apparent. The DebeRve of
the country have learned that the gov
ernment still tires: Unt law reign*,
and OHR the American people »fe back
of U. Thta (powrieeson t»lmrhed some
times through bloodshed and prison
beret bat tt te well than It b* learned
•'ME AN' HER DON’ STEAK.’
Just how tt commenced tt wee hard
to toll, but It was evident that a se-
noua difference had arisen among tb
pupils 04 Y. Oeavlaory. which threat
ened to demoralize rhe whole aehool.
Cross the yard when you pleased, on
ot school hours, groups ot girls could
be seen scattered about whispering to
gether or talking In loud tones and
looking askance at other groups, who
wore engaged In *a like manner. Girls
who hod been Inaetnuvtble now paaaed
oar'll with a cold mare or a contempt
uous sniff.
There wqre no more pleasant gather
ings In the reading rooms at noon: the
few girls who went there only made
sneering remarks, ami the books wnd
papers were left untouched. Door Alisa
Jones vvaa driven almost out of her
wile by room totted or desk map's

couldn’t agree, and If she ventured 1*
ask one girl to deliver a message t
another os like as not she would to«
her head, . mipresu her l:pa and answer
Ir.g.dly: "sn. and 1 don't speak.
Arguments, persuasions and threats
wvre alike uraavaring: one-half the
school was not on speaking terms with
the other halt. How long this state of
things would have lasted tt is impos
sible to say had no: a little incident,
Inslgntficanl enough In Itself, occurred
which brought maitera ;o a climax.
The lost bell had rung end rhe girls
were' promenading on the cokinade. In
lh* rear of the building, when a bright,
fresh face appeared at one of the u
pec windows and a pleasant vote-
called out: "Aunt Dinah, please tell
Sarah to bring up my cloth").’’ The
Individual addressed raised Me- fat
arms, dripping with soapsuds, from
the tub, where she was scrubbing
clothes, rolled her eyes up until noth
ing but th» whiles could be seen and
sold solemnly, but with emphasis:
an* h-v don* speak.** Such a shout of
merriment ss greeted this announce
ment those old walls had never he. -
gad probably never would egula. And
Aunt Dinah gaae-1 up tn amaxen-
bu: not being able to appreciate the
joke she returned to her scrubbing,
muttering /he while about "such
noisy gals, always kickin’ up a racket.’
and other remarks of a like nature
And so k was by a staple hit of rtdi
cute that this absurd feeling wee put
down. "Me on’ her don’t speak** has

BLEW UP THE TRAIN.
Horrible Trap Set for the Passenger
Sprung by a Freight.
Wichita, Kan., July 13.—The adverse
deci«fon of the Oklahoma supreme court
In the attempt by towns of South Enid
and Pond Creek to compel the Rock
Island railroad to build depots and stop
trains has been quictyy followed by nn
outrage, which, but fbr an accident,
would have probably resulted In a fear
ful sacrifice of human lives.
At 4:23 this morning a mile south of
Enid the Rock Island bridge wa* blown
up with dynamite and a fn-ignt train
was demolished. An engine and a couple
of cam had passed safely over when
the dynamite exploded, hurling the
train from the track. Thirty cam were
piled In the ditch and Bnokeman Cord-
rey and Harry Lyon, a tramp, were
both badly Injured.
The dynamite was evidently intended
foi *the regular northbound passenger
train from Texas, reaching the scene
thirty minutes later, and which but for
the iecUfont of the freight bfockade,
caused by the strike, necessitated the
running of extra freight Crains, would
have been the first train to enter the
horrible trap.
The outrage Is supposed Co be the
work of men concerned in the fight be
tween the different towns and the rail
roads which has been'raging ever since
tho opening of the strip, owing to the
refusal of the rallroud to stop tts»trains
at the new townr.
A't 11 o'clock this morning Fawcett,
the chief ctf the Rock Island company's
detectives, wired to V4ce President Lowe
that he was compelled to stand by pow-
erlem and see 200 citizens of pond
Creek tearing up «the tracks through the
city. In Che crowd were both men nnd
women. The company had until last
week kept a large force ot guards along
tho track at Pond Creek and Enid ever
since June 4, when the track was be
fore torn up and a freight train wreck
ed. Only u few guards are rivw staittoned
in the places.
Vice President Lowe has notified the
United States authorities of the destruc
tion of the track and has declared h%
will send no more guards to the In
flamed pblnta. but will expect the gov
ernment hereafter to protect the com
pany's property and deul with the citi
zens.
By order of the governor armed
troops from El Reno under charge of
Deputy UnKed States Marshal Madsen
left tor the scene late this afternoon.
The citizens are becoming more threat?
enlng and ever hour serious trouble is
feared.
The blowing up of the bridge and
train was followed about noon by the
total demolition of the railroad bridge
Just north of Pond Creek, the other
government town site tho* is fighting
for railroad facilities. A loud shout of
approval from hundreds of excited citi
zens of thsit town greeted the explosion
of dynamftte and the wreck of the
bridge was soon surrounded by a mass
of people wWo indbrsed the mode of war
fare inaugurated against the railroad
company. Much of the trade between
Pond Creek and Enid han been torn
up and the people of both places ex
press a determination to have depots
or no railroads.
The city is heavily patrolled tonight
by extra police, deputy sheriffs and
deputy United States marshals. There
are no demonstrations of any kind and
It 1s expected no further trouble Will
occur tonight The wrecking train ar
rived from the south -with 100 men and
the timbers to rebuild the bridge. It is
possible trains will be running over ft
by tomorrow.
