Ilet I.ckn In the World, The most lifelike and serviceable artificial legs in tho world nre manufactured In America. Enormous quantities of these limbs are shipped to Europe every year. Tho first great boom In tho artificial leg business was brought about by tho civil war Since that time railroad and trolley car ac cidents have kept up an ever Increasing de mand, Another factor has been the general use of antiseptics. Tho mortality among those who have their legs amputated is far less than formerly and a large proportion of the Hurvlvora become patrons of the wooden leg factories. Tho old-fashioned peg-leg Is practically a thing of tho past. The modern artificial leg shows a great advance over the old forms. Every Improvement has been with the Idea of greater simplicity. Tho main object of the manufacturers Is to Improve the fit of tho legs. Tho best models now cojt 9100. It costs from J5 to $25 a year to keep one of these In order. Few women wear artificial legs. On tho other hand, It Is becoming more common to fit limbs to children. Legs arc made for children sometimes before they can wall:. They are fitted as soon as the child learns to stand nnd make It possible for It to de velop symmerlcally. I.lcenne Tax on Pmllnr.

THE OMAHA DAILY KEEt MOKDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1001. BAY VIEW LODGE SPLITS Sem Will Work Totaj Whea Milwaukee Mills Beiumt. MEETING BREAKS UP IN HEATED ROW ItndlrnU Holt nnd Consrrt ntlves IIc elile to I'litht out with Any .NeT OrBntilintlnu Trouble . nilieetvil Tod ii j. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 8. The Uny View mfetlng, after a stormy session today, broke Up In a row. The radical element left the hall and the remaining members, not quite half of those in attendance, voted to re turn to work, nnd will do so tomorrow uhen tho mills will start up. The question of returning to work was debated at length and after every member had had his say President Joseph I). Red fern ordered n secret ballot to be taken. An nppeal was mado and was referred to tho vice president of the lodge, whose duty It Is to act In such an exigency. The lodge waited fifteen minutes nnd tho vice presi dent failed to take any action on tho ap pend President Ilcdfern then appointed tellers and ordered that a secret ballot be taken, whereupon the radical element left the lorlgo In n body. The radicals slightly outnumbered the conservatives. Those re maining In tho lodge then voted unani mously to return to work. The result of the meeting will undoubt edly be n spilt In the organization of the Amalgamated Association of Iron aqd Steel Workers In this city. The radicals will un douhtodly claim the charter of tho asso ciation, but President Hcdfern says, ns president of the ledge, he will hold onto the charter, ns the nctlon taken at this meeting was constitutional. ' Trouble Is Kieetrit. Trouble Is looked for when the men re turn to work tomorrow. It Is brllcved more than half of the members of the lodge will return to work, although tho radicals outnumbered thn conservatives. It Is said that had nil remained In the lodge when the ballot was taken the vote would have been largely In favor of returning to work, ns many opposed to returning to work would hnve voted on a secret ballot. Fires have been lighted nt the mills pre paratory to starting them tomorrow morn ing, whether the lodgo voted to return or not. This nctlon of this company, It Is be lieved, was tho cause of the question being settled today, an the company. It Is said, was prepared to start the mills with non union men. Those who voted to return to work aro made up mostly of married' men, who have worked at tho Pay View mills for many years, owning their homes and having families to support. The Illinois Steel company. It Is said, will continue to pay the same scale as was ogrccd upon a week before tho strike was Inaugurated and was, In fact, tho scale pre sented by the Amalgamated association and which contract was broken when the men quit work. It Is likely some of the na tional officers will come to Milwaukee to form n new lodgo nnd In tho future will not recognize the old charter. In this event tho men who returned to work will continue ns a locnl association and will treat wdth the company from tlmo to time ob such. FORCING SHAFFER TO SETTLE Exrcntlve Ilonril Will Xot Hnve Xc. UOtlntioiiK Prolonged Todny'a Council Cnllril Off. riTTSDUHO, Pa.. Sept. S. If the plans of President Shaffer were for the executive board to go to New York and confer with President Schwab of the United States Steo! corporation tomorrow, those plans wero abandoned. Tho entire membership of the board was In Pittsburg today, with the ex ception of Vice Presidents Morgan, Jenkins and Larkln, who went to their homes for Sunday nnd who were expected to return to Pittsburg tomorrow morning. President Shaffer w-aB not at home all day and It was stated nt his houso that It wns not known where he wns nor when he would return. Those of the executive board who were In the city nnd could be seen said they did not know whether there would be a meeting of the executive board tomorrow or not. If there was, It was expected that the work would be finished up nnd the board would adjourn before night. Whllo the members of the board did not say so, It was Inti mated by those in close touch with them that they had plainly told President Shaffor that n settlement of the strike was impera tive and that he had better put himself in communication with President Schwab and have a plain undqrstnndlng at onco. In other words, the executive board of the Amalgamated association was pushing the leader for n settlement and to end the battle, It was said also In a semi-official way that possibly President Shaffer was communicating with President Schwab per sonally today. It was believed that he hid cither gono to Mr. Schwab's summer home In Loretto or else was meeting him In New York. Leaders are making great efforts to hold the men in line with the hope that somo means of n settlement will come in a few dnys at the furthest. If It fails, tho men. It is believed, will break nway and return to work as Individuals. That would be worse than tho terms that have thus fur been offered y the corporation, At the same time the delay that has occurred and is still going on under the terms offered Is telling more severely than ever against the strikers and their organization.

"So Pat's In South Africa, Is he?" said Tim Ormsby. "Well, I ain't no city directory, but I'll stake my summer shirt that a letter'll rench him In Bouth Omaha, If you get the street number right. South Oranha Is better than South Africa for Pat. an' she's got her diamond mines, too; every packln' house In South Omaha Is a dia mond mine." "How do you make that -out, Tim?" asked tho turnkey.

The new methods employed have, however, been the means of making It popular with another class of people and the few ex ponents of the nrt who have remilned In the field, striving always to give a clean, wholesome entertainment ncer fnll to re ceive recognition for Ahelr efforts In the shape of liberal patronago from tho public. William H. Wist Is one of the latter class and never has his entertainment been looked forward to with more pleasurable anticipation or n minstrel performance had better attendance than that nt Iioyd's Sun day afternoon. It was gratifying In every particular and seemingly enjoyed by every, one, but the absence of Mr. West, who Is unable to bo with his company on account of nn Illness which possibly may rob the stago of his presence forover, Is keenly felt nnd not n few expressions of regret were heard on every hand. Seemingly real izing the necessity of such a move Mr. West has gotten together one of tho beat companies that ever bore his nnme nnd as a result there were few if any who went awny disappointed. Mr. West's place as Intorlocutor was filled by Frederic McDon ald. Illlly Van nnd John King held down the ends and the vocal portion of the per formance was looked after by Messrs, Ho main, Stewart, Jones, Sylvester, Miller and Uosedale. Tho first part was tc In a scene gor geous in Its beauty, while the olio was made up of the usual number of vaudeville acts, all of which were new and meritorious. The songs nnd parodies were all now nnd well choen. There were few old Jokes called Into me nnd the comedy business wns such ns to keep tho audleuce In nn up roar of laughter. The engagement was for n single day, two performances being given. KrtiR I'nrU Inclement weather Interfered with the at tendance at Krug park yeMcrday and tho usual big Sunday crowd was not on bond, nevertheless those who did venture out found plenty of entertainment. The Tenth United States Infantry band made I's first appcaranco nnd wns enthusiastically re ceived. The Lorenz orchestra was also ap preciated. Tho rain prevented the ba'lo-n ascension, the concert by Chambers' ce lestial choir nnd tho performance of the woman whistler In the evening.

Colom bia's tlnnpclnl straits are extreme and It Is pushed to the last point to obtain funds. The Colombian paper pesos Is now worth less than .1 cents and gold continues to de preciate. Seventy or SO per cent of tho people of the country sympathize with the revolution and are opposed to tho present government largely, It Is asserted, on nc count of tha government's exaction of taxis and Imposts and other vexatious efforts to ralso money. This financial dlstrers, coupled with the act of tho revolution, which momentarily becomes more threatening, this being especially the case In tho Venezuelan cntnnRltmcnt, It Is asserted, constitutes the strongest renson why Colombia cannot go to war with Venezuela with any bopo of succti.; Their nurdenn Inerense.

In some cases custom receipt have been hypothe cated months In ndvanco ns security for these loans nnd in other enscs no security Is given. The continuation of such govern mental Impositions Increases tho liberal ranks nnd tho prolongntlon of the present situation will, It Is believed, Increase the liberals' chahecs of success. Tho government Is holding tho army, which It Is making strenuous efforts to pay nnd which, with tho official employes, seems strong enough to prolong tho present situa tion, but unable to deal tho revolution a strong, crushing blow. Tlmo will strengthen the rebels' position throughout tho country, hut In tbe Isthmus district they notably lack lenders. Tho government today owes tho 1,600 troops on the Isthmus JKi.OOO In gold back pay. It Is expected that tho return to the Isthmus of Gcnernl Alban, commander-in-chief of the Colombian forces, will bo attended with stringent measures and forced loans lu order to rnlso money to pay these troops. Although the government's financial strength is asserted to be continually In creasing it has not been reported that tho government has molested foreigners or nt temptcd to effect forced loans from for eigners, Mnny foreigners, however, be lieve the probability of such occurrences to bo approaching, eHpecinlly slnco tho going Into effect of the decree of July IS.
