SERIOUS CHARGES STRIKERS’ LAWLESS ACTS ARC SET FORTH BY THE U. P. NON • UNION MEN TERRORIZED Strikers Even Go So Far as to Threat en Destruction of Property by Dy namite—Pol ce Protection is Con stantly Needed. OMAHA. Sept. 15—The following statement has been given out by John N. Baldwin, general attorney of the Union Pacific railroad, explaining the present strike situation from the rail road’s standpoint: ‘ The Union Pacific company is en titled to full protection of its prop erty and to the security of Its em ployes from insults and assaults, and to secure such protection it will call upon the city, state, or federal author ities. if necessary. The frequent acts of violence must stop, or decisive ac tion will be taken. “If the public knew the full details of the many lawless and brutal acts recently committed by the strikers, there would be less sympathy ex pressed for them and less encourage ment held out to them to continue the strike. Looking over the list of assaults during the last week, it is remarkable that such a state of affairs should be tolerated in this city, and much more remarkable that it should be encouraged by apparently well meaning citizens. Crowds of strlicers and thPir sym pathizers frequent the gates of the company’s yards, doing what they cal! picket duty.’ Their real duty seems | to be to assault or abuse and intimi date every workman who goes through the gates. It is their purpose, as openly expressed, to create such a reign of terror that no man will dare w’ork for the company. No person pretends that these pickets are acting on their individual responsibility. It is well known that they are placed there by their head officers or walking delegates, and that their every act of lawlessness is heartily approved by the strike officials, who places them on ‘duty’ around the premises of the company. “One of the cases is that of Michael C'ronin. He has lived in Omaha for twenty years, ami has worked for the Union Pacific since 1884. From his wages he has been able to support his family, and has saved up fully $5,000. which ho has invested in Omaha prop erty. He declined to quit when the other men struck, and they seized every opportunity to abuse and intim idate him. One morning a well-known striker said to him, 'If you keep up this work, you will be killed, and if nobobdy else will do it. I will kill you myself.’ He was afraid to go home that day and remained in the shops all night. In the meantime his wife was notified that he would be killed. She was terribly frightened, and in duced him to quit work. He re mained at home then for several weeks, but finally tried to get back to work. At the Cass street gate Strikers Millett, O’Donnell. Boles and several others stopped him. and told him if lie went in he ‘would b? sorry for It.' \V!i**n he went back to town a man with a revolver in Ills hand followed him two blocks. Last Mon day he w’ent back to work, and on Tuesday evening while leaving the yards for home in company with George Roach, another workman, they The World Has Progressed.

Mr. Croinin was Knocked down twice, and was badly bruised. The policemen stationed near got. around too late to see who committed the assault. •'Last Monday nigh; Henry Guin otte, one of the workmen, was assault ed by strikers up near Jefferson park. One ran up to him and asked him if lie was working in the shops. He re plied that he was, and the man knocked him down without another word. Another striker kicked him in the back. He was almost senseless for awhile, and when he tried to get up they came back and knocsed him down again. "Several days before this attack Mr. Guinotte’s wife went down to the yards, to see him. She was stopped at the gate and the pickets swore at her and frightened her so that she was afraid to go in. Other ladies who have tried to see their husbands, or tried to send word to and from the gates, have been treated in the same manner. They tell pitiful stories of Ihe brutal oaths and threats dealt out to them by the pickets. "Hast Friday E. H. Reid, one of the workmen, was stopped and assaulted by striker I*ee Harrier tor Haraway), and was threatened by others. On Sunday E. J. Winters, one of the shop guards was caught outside the yards and was badly beaten. There are sev eral other eases of minor assaults, and the tipcats recently made not only promise bodily harm to Foreman Tur tle and others, but thpy say the new smokestack is to be blown up with dynamite. "The most recent rase is that which occurred Wednesday night. Two of the guards, named Fauver and Ish, stopped work at six o'clock and left the yards to go to their homes. They were followed by a gang of ten or fifteen strikers and were attacked. Ish was badly beaten and was seriously injured by having one of his eye glasses broken and driven into his eye. Fauver escaped serious injury by making on active fight, proving too shifty for his cowardly assail ants. This affray occurred in open daylight, and the crowd of strikers hung after Fauver. throwing missiles and using foul epithets until the po lice finally appeared. As is frequent ly the case, the police arrested the first man they came to. This was Fauver, and most of the assailants hurried away to stir up more trouble or ‘bend their energies’ elsewhere. "It is a curious condition of affairs when any association of individuals can ‘officially’ blacklist a business house or factory in this city and sta tion men before the entrance to warn people not to go in. or to insuit and assault those who disregard their warning. In such cases it is difficult to discriminate between the terms ‘blacklist- and ‘blackmail.’ "While the insults, threats and acts of intimidation on the part of the lawless element have been of daily and almost hourly occurrence since the beginning of the strike, the cases of actual violence are on the increase during the past week, indicating that the recent declaration of the head of ficers of the union that ‘every energy would now be directed to the Union Pacific strike’ was no idle threat. The news that several of the most lawless men from Rawlins and Cheyenne have been transferred here to do picket duty for the strikers is followed im mediately by a number of brutal act? on the streets and in open daylight. The police force of the city has been too scattered to prevent these acts, and gangs of piratical pickets swarm ; up the streets and assault men whose only offense is that they desire to work for a living and spend their wages in the city for the benefit of their families.” Bacteria.

AMERICAN KINGS WHO HAVE LOST THRONES Those who have read Alphonse Gan let's wonderful book, ‘'itois cn Kxile,” vill appreciate a little story told by Vlark Twain to Col. S. C. Kellogg. United States army, now retired, when he latter was military attache to the embassy at Paris, over which the ate lamented James H, Eustis pro tided—1S93-97. Clemens said that he was sitting, me brilliant and beautiful summer morning, on a bench in out* of those nromparable Paris parks. The view was gracious beyond words. Grass, limost dazzling in its greenness; flowers, fountains, running water, patriarchal trees, a passing throng more picturesque than any pageant ever seen upon the stage—all the charm and mystery and romance of Paris, en grande tenuo. Mark sat there musing. The dew was still upon the foliage. The air was fresh, exhilarating. He taught it seemed to him, the faint, elusive perfume that had made last night a fragrant memory. He bathed his tine soul In sunshine. All of a sudden there came within his view a pale anti mildewed saunterer. His hat was middle-aged and shiny. His coat suggested better days. A black cravat seemed fiercely bent on t.irottling him. His trousers bagged at. the kr.ee, anti his shoes, patched and worn, spoke of sunshine stove polish with special ant! peculiar eloquence. Ills eyes were hollow anti his cheeks both wan anti sunken. He approached Mark'd bench with leaden feet, sat down upon the farther end and heav ed a sigh that sounded like a moan. He gazed at the toy landscape, took in the glittering pageant, coughed the i ough of hunger and distress, then turned to Mark ami asked, with a pathetic bleat, “Were you ever a king?" Sadness and humor are close friends. Down the endless corridors of human hope and strife, passing arm in arm through the throng of beautiful and mean ambitions, they gather the story of the human race ami write its chronicles at leisure. “Were you ever a king?" Paris does not hold monopoly in this sorrowful and shabby case. Have we no discrowned kings ourselves? Hoes the gay French capital, with its royal refugees and loafers, have no rivals In this broad and happy land? Verily, it seems to ns that all the kings, or would-be kings, have not been stranded in one pince. There are pathetic pretensions, vain hopes and wretched ostentations all about us. The discarded boss, the back number chieftain, the leader without a following—all these are familiar, if sad. spectacles in this land. Hon Quixote has survived the wreck of worlds, and the duke of Baratarla still presides over Barme cide ceremonials and waves his sword of lath. We, too, are in this business, even though \so have no Hamlet to assert our claims. RELIEF SECURED BY “TURNING THE HOSE” A Phoenix gentleman who recently , returned from California relates an in i ddent that occurred to him which may be of benefit to Phoenix women who cannot go to the Coast, but who ; desire to avoid the effects of the ex- , cessive heat as much as possible. The ! gentleman in question is an extremely modest married man, and it was only an overwhelming curiosity that helped him into the secret about to be im parted. On the way home he occupied a scat toward the tear of the coach, and a lady, who also had a ticket for Phoenix, sat opposite him and one seat ahead. He noticed that the farther they traveled the more uneasy the lady becainp. First she tried fanning her self vigorously, but finally gave that up in despair and resorted to her handkerchief, with which she inces santly mopped her face, removing per spiration, paint. complexion and everything else that was not rooted in the cuticle. Just before reaching Maricopa the lady squirmed around a great deal, looked out of the corner of her eyes to see if any one was watching (and there was. but she didn't know it). 9 then pulling off her shoes she removed her stockings, turned them inside out and put them on again. By this time the modest Phoenix man was mostly eyes, and what wasn't eyes was curiosity. He felt that he had to have an explanation of the woman's conduct, and there was no one who could give it but the woman herself. He approached her, therefore, begged her pardon, ami said that he seldom took the liberty of inquiring into other people’s business. "How ever.” he continued. I just witnessed the lightning change act that you per formed. and curiosity has prompted me to inquire the reason of it.” The woman blushed a little on dis covering that she had been watched, and then said: “You see, I am going through to Phoenix, and it's very hot down there, in fact, it's been getting hotter «very mile for the last three hours, and my feet were literally burn ing up. when I decided that regardless of conventionality I would have to turn the hose on them."—Arizona Re publican.

GOSPEL TEXTS PUT ON MAILED MATTER H _ The Chicago postoflice authorities are looking for au enthusiastic preach er whose religious vagaries have oc casioned them considerable trouble. A few days ago envelopes, which had covered incoming letter:;, were sent to the postmaster by local business men with a vigorous remonstrance against the practice of stamping selections from scripture oil mail passing through the postoflice. The texts were printed in line type and j stamped in purple ink on the envel ope by means of rubber stamps. A distinguished citizen wanted to know why the postoflice should be so Interested in his salvation as to stamp these texts on an envelope ad dressed to him: ' Jesus Wants to Save! Tell the World!" "Ye must be born again. John 3-7. How? Whosoever belleveth that Jesus Is the Christ is born of God; 1 John 5-1 and doth not commit sin, 1 John 3-'J.” An immediate investigation was made in the local office, but the re ligious enthusiast was not discovered among the ranks of Chicago’s postal employes. Some of the letters had WHERE SHE WAS WRONG. Mistaken Impression of Old Lady New to Autorr.obilirg. It had taken considerable per suasion to induce the old lady to take a seat in an automobile, but finally she had consented to do so because she was anxious to reach the bedside of her sick grandchild in a village some twenty miles away, the last train for which had left some ten min uteR before she arrived at the station. When the owner of the big automo bile, who was touring through Long Island, had overheard the old lady’s regrets at being left, he had insisted on her accompanying him, as he was to pass through the particular one of the half a dozen or more Long Island villages named Hampton where the sick grandchild lived. Everything went lovely until the almost flying ve hicle, in attempting to pass a wagon loaded with hay which occupied the entire center of the road, went unex pectedly into the ditch and rather vio lently deposited Its occupants in an adjoining field. Recovering from the shock, though somewhat confused from the rather unusual method of alighting from a vehicle, the old lady asked of the chagrined chauffeur: "Is this a Hampton?” come from the east and the envelopes were transmitted through the usual channels to see if the enthusiast was not a railway postal clerk or a clerk Id the Boston or New York postoHlee. All clerks and carriers denied the impeachment and the papers traveled back again to Chicago. The investi gation was continued there, and after a slight delay it was found that on a particular day in the middle of De cember a traveling preacher passed through one of the big office buildings and had stamped everything in sight with texts of Scripture. It seems that he went through some of the offices and impressed the stamps on letters lying on the desks. No one appears to have connected his visit with the texts on the envelopes, and it was concluded that some one in the postofllce had become interested in the spiritual welfare of tho general public and had taken this means of calling attention to pertinent texts found in Holy Writ. The explanation was a relief to the postal authorities, who had been vain ly seeking for more than a month to discover the person responsible for the hand stamped texts. “No, ma’am,” he managed to gasp, "this is an accident.” “Oh, dear,” said the ex-occupant of the vehicle, “then I hadn't oughter have got out here, had I?” But such naivette was too much for the owner of the damaged vehicle, and he said the only safe thing for one in his position to say—notlfing.— Automobile Magazine.

Taylor, retired carpenter, residing at 312 South Third St., Goshen, lnd.. says: “On the,25th day of August, 1897, I made an affidavit before Jacob C. Mann, notary ruhlic, stating my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. I had suffered for thirty years, and was compelled at times to walk by the aid of crutches, frequently passed gravel and suffered excruciatingly. I took every medi cine on the market that I heard about and some gave me temporary relief. 1 began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results I gave to the public in the statement above referred to. At this time, on the 19th day of July. 1902, 1 make this further statement that during the five years which have elapsed 1 have had no occasion to use either Doan's Kidney Pills or any other medictne for my kidneys.
