S. C. Mccombcr goes to Omaha
tomorrow where ho will remain un
til aftor tho conference with tho
Uiiidti Pacific relative to tho ad
vaneo in wages which has beon re
quested by conductors and brake
men. Tins request, which was
mado December 120th, is for an ad
vanco of twenty per cent in wages
and doublo pay for miles and hours
mado on trains of moro than thirty
oars when hauled bv moro than ono
engine. A similar request was
mado upon fifty-two railroads, and
January 5th was named as tho day
upon which the committee of each
road would moot to rcccivo tho ans
1 , it 1 -v .a
wer lrom uio ouioiais. n tho re
quest is not granted, a formal do
mand will bo mado and this may re
suit in protracted conferences be
foro tho mattor is finally adjusted
although tho feeling is general that
the requests will all bo granted
sooner or later. Ono drawback to
a speedy acquiescencp in the mat
tor is tho fact that within tho
territory covered by thoso fifty
two roads' upon which tho request
has been made, arc roads which do
not employ organized labor, and tho
employes of those roads havo made
no demands for increased pay. Tho
roads upon which tho request has
beon made will mako an effort
induce theso non-union roads to pay
their men tho samo wages as will bo
paid by tho unionized roads after tho
requests aro granted. It may ther.
fore require somo little time
mako such arraugemonts.

'When We Were Twcnly-One."
A brief outline of this play,
wliich will be seen at Lloyd's opera
loiuc, Dec. 31st, is as follows:: It
is in four acts and tho scene is laid
in London. The incidents of thrco
acts take place in tho house of Dick
Carewo, a successful barrister, and
those of the other in a famous Lon
don Supper Club at midnight. Diok
Cnrow and three comrades, the Doc
tor, the Soldier Man and Waddles,
are bound together by friendship
tics of a lifc-timo and their whole
mrposo is loyalty to each other and
to see to tho wolfaro of tho "Imp,"
a "haruin scarum" youth, tho boh
of 0110 of their comrades long since
dead. Dick and his chums learn of a
serious plight into which the "Imp"
ias gotten himself through, a secret
marriago to on adventuress, despite
their efforts of saving tho young
ster from tho results of hiB folly.
Richard Carow iB hopelessly in love
with Phyllis Ericsson, whois but
half his ago, and whoso marriage
to tho "Imp" has been planned by
Carow- Neither loves the other,
but Dick did not know, and their
engagement was generally accepted
by their friends. Diek nobly sacri
fices himself to save his dead com
rade's boy; not only for tho lad's
sako but for tho happmcss of Phyl
lis. In tho cud his lovo is rewarded
by learning that Phyllis loves him
and ' not the "Imp'1 and all ends
happily.
CAST ADRIFT
IN THE PACIFIC
Copyright. W02, by C. B. Lewis.
Wo were, us near us I can remem
ber, In tho latitude of Midway Island,
In tho Faclilc, and all was going well
with the harl: Harvest Home when wo
picked up a sailor named Williams,
Who was drifting about In a ship's
yawl. He told 11 story of shipwreck
nud suffering which wo afterward
enme to know was utterly false, and
after n couplo of days ho was put In
my watch and entered as an extra
hand.
Williams had no sooner got ninoiig
tho men than he began telling of u
great treasuro buried 011 0110 of tho
Kuril islands. Talk treasure to a sail
or and you can bring him to mutiny..
The amount of money was given ht
several million dollars, and Williams
claimed to be ablo to locate the exact
spot. It probably never occurred to
one of tho men to ask why ho didn't
go to tho captain with his story and
try to arrango for tho removal of tho
treasure, but If It did ho had somo
answer at hand. Ho proposed taking
possession of tho burl;, Bulling her to
tho tmisuru Island, securing tho great
wealth and thou using tier to get to
England. As to tho ollk'crs and such
men us would not Join, they were to bo
cast adrift hi mldocean to takp their
chances. Wo had a cargo valued nt
$123,000, and I think tho limit's gamo
was to peddles It out among tho Ma
line, Cnroll 110 and Marshall islands,
get what ho could and then look out
for himself.
So quietly did ho do his work among
tho crew that not the slightest hint of
what was goiug on was wafted nft.
Ho enlisted eight of tho men in his
cause, and on the seventh day of ids
coming aboard and while tho captain
and I wero eating dinner the climax
cume. Tho second mate was seized,
bound and guged and un alarm was
raised that he had fallen overboard.
Uoth of us rushed from tho cabin, to
be pounced upon and made prisoners.
It was a . surprise all around, and no
insolence was offered any of us. When
Captain Holt demanded an explana
tion, Williams promptly enlightened
him. He said:
"Wo are In possession of tho hark
We aro going after a great treasure,
which Is to bo equally divided between
man and man, It was no use to talk to
you, for you would havo'scoffed at my

"Because that would mtu less mon

fcrcd to overlook what had happened If
they would return to duty. Tho feeling
of tho crew was expressed by tho old
boatswain, who took off his cap nud
stood In humble nttltudo as he said:
vapinin noir, wo ucv muuin ng iiij
ye nor the mates, but here's a chnneb
fur every man of us to git rlclufur life,
and wo feels as If w(o mil's! take It."
There was more n;gument, but tho
men wero stubborn. Those who had re
fused to Join In tho plot now cniuc for
ward and gave hi their allegiance to
Williams, and preparations wero begun
for casting us adrift. One of tho quar
ter boats was hoisted out, and in It
wero stowed water and provisions sufil-
dent to last three of us a fortnight.
Wo were allowed a mast and a sail,
but neither chart nor compass.
o had made 350 miles to the cast
nud were having fair weather when wo
made a grewsomo discovery. About a
o'clock hi tho afternoon wo sighted a
strnngo object only a point or two oil
our course, and, running down to It, wo
found our old bark flontliiir korl un.
ward, with two of her masts and n
great mass of wreckage surrounding,
her. There was hut little sea on, and wo
scrambled upon IJio bark's hottom. Wq.
she inlght ho righted, especially irwo
sighted 11 craft which would give us
assistance. She had probably becii hi
that position for three or four days nt
tho least, but there was still sutliticut
air to buoy her up. I hud not yet
walked her. length when 1 heard n
knocking, followed by faint shouts.
Tho captain came aboard to see what
he could mako of It, and it was not
long beforo we wero satisfied that nt
least two men wero imprisoned In tho
cabin. By lying down nnd pluclug our
ears to the copper sheathing wo could
make out that they knew some one hud
boarded tho hurk, and they appealed to
us to cut a hole through which they
could escape. Wo hud neither ax nor
hatchet, but if wo had been fully
equipped the chances would havo been
