A proposition for re-employment of the striking street car men, re ceived from President G. W. Wattles by a committee from the Central Labor union, was rejected at a meet ing of the strikers at Labor temple Wednesday afternoon. The offer made by Mr. Wattles as reported by the committee proposed the employment at once of 125 of the osltion, typewritten, but unsigned by Mr. Wattles, was presented at the meeting. The statement purports to have been Issued at 4:30 o'clock to the labor committee as an amendment to a verbal statement made In the morn ing. It is emphatically declared that the company does not In any way re cede from the proposition made by the company and signed by the five mayors. It is asserted that at the morning meeting, Mr. Wattle had said that the company was no longer requiring men to sign pledges to keep out of the union, but this is re tracted In the final written statement. The street car company is re sponsible for every accident that happens. Through the domineering spirit of President Wattles of the car company, the strike is still on and bids fair to remain so, and people who have the courage to board the cars are running a great risk of los ing their lives or being crippled for the balance of their days. y RESIDENCE IS DURNED Wash Your Face and Hands WITH A.

For three weeks the people of Ash land have been talking of the almost simultaneous disappearance of Rev. Howard R. Van Auken, pastor of the Congregational church here, and Miss Bertha Bowman, a professional nurse from Lincoln.. Their departure fol lowed the interception of a note written to Miss Bowman by the preacher which was written with the evident purpose of appointing a time and place for a meeting. Before leaving the city. Van Auken placed his resignation in the hands of the church board at its request. He left his wife and three children, the old est of whom is 8 years of age and the youngest an infant, who have since gone to live at Middleville, Mich., with Mrs. Van Auken's father, who came to Ashland for them. The deposed and departed min ister is about 35 years of age, a man of good appearance and physical vigor. He is a fine pulpit orator and was popular with his congregation. He4iad been here about two years, coming from Indiana. Just before Miss Bowman left Ash land she wrote a note to her Bister at Fairbury, stating that she was go ing to Colorado and would stop at Fairbury on the way.

Wante and Repair. The human body Is 'a picture of the world's work. A constant' strug gle, with gain on one side and loss! on the other, waste and repair; The minute cells, of which the body con sists, die and their loss is replaced by new-born cells. As long as the body Is capable to repair the whole loss It Is in the state of health. If the waste Is larger than the repair, some organs of the body become weak and diseased. You should then UH8 Trlner's American Elixir of Bit ter Wine, a perfectly reliable tonic which will stimulate all organs to work and thus make a hasty repair. Use it In all diseases connected with loss of appetite and bodily strength. At drug stores. Jos. Trlner, 1333 39 South Ashland avenue, Chicago, III. No One at Home When Fire Was Bis coverd and Cause Unknown. About 10 o'clock this morning the Are alarm was turned on, the cause being a Are at the home of J. Mat sen, who lives in the Fifth ward. Mr. Matsen had left the house only a short time before and came down town, and when Informed that his house was burning could hardly credit the truth. Mrs. Matsen Is In the hospital at Omaha, so that no one was In the house at the time the Are started. There was some delay in getting the alarm turned on, but the house was so far out that there was not sufficient bose in town to take the water to It. The fire com pany made an effort to get to the Ore with the hose cart, but when it was found that the fire was so far out, the hose carts were abandoned, and Chief Kobeck and the men hur ried to the place, thinking they might render some aid. Water was brought from a nearby well until the rope broke. The cellar was all that could be saved.' The house was a total loss as well as the furniture. The house was owned by L..Hlskey, who resides in Missouri, and It is nol known whether "It was Insured or not. Mr. Matsen had about $600 worth of furniture and $300 Insurance. It Is not known how the fire started. It was first seen by Mrs. Thomas, who Immediately tried to get the shops, but falling called Mr. Kobeck, who understood that It was Hrasky's house on Wlntersteen hill, and there the hose carts tried to go. When they had climbed the hill the fire could be seen still further out. The hose carts were then left at the school house and with Walter Scott's team hurried to the scene of the fire, The mistake probably made two or three minutes difference In the time of arrival, but nothing could have been done to save the house, as it was too far gone when the alarm was turned In. Wllhlte-Tuckerman Meetings. Notwithstanding that many Platts mouth people went to Omaha last night, the tent was filled with an attentive audience, which was deep ly Impressed with Mr. Wllhlte's elo quent sermon on "Christ the King." 'Why Christ Refused an Earthly Crown" was the leading question of the sermon. It Is evident that these meetings are just reaching their best work. Ten souls were added to the church yesterday, which brings the grand total up to ninety-three addi tions In less than three weeks. Many others are almost persuaded to yield to Christ and the closing days of the meeting will doubtless be the best. In some way the word has been passed out that these meetings will close on Saturday night of this week. This is a mistake. The meetings will close Sunday evening. They should continue another week, but this will be Impossible. Next Tueseday even ing a public reception for all the new members will be held at the tent. More definite announcements will be made later. Five were immersed at the close of the services last night. Tonight the evangelist will speak on the subject, "The Christian Life ot the Man in This World." ' DrcHMinnkliiK Mrs. Norton, Wash ington avenue and Ninth street.

The track force on repair of freight cars, under the foremanshlp of C. M. Parker, assisted by E. C Akerman, are working full time with about 175 men. With this force there can be turned out from fifteen to twenty-five cars dally, depending on the amount of repair needed on the car. Other departments are JiiBt as busy as the track force, and one sees a busy lot of men In all departments when going through the shop. . ' 'A Ckwe CalL John Hansel and family had a close call from'belng Instantly killed at a. crossing near Union by Missouri Pacific passenger train one day this week.

Hall and other relatives, visited Omaha and the Ak-Sar-Ben today. Mr. Barr was a soldier in the One Hundred and Third Pennsylvania volunteers. and fought under McClelland.

Little Child Dies. The little child of Mr. and Mm. Gebhart, residing in the south part of the city, died yesterday. The fu neral occurred this afternoon at the residence, Rev.
