/ ' A Good Story.
When Representative Morris Sliep-
pard , of Texas , ' was nominated for
Congress as the successor of his fa
ther , he was but 27 years old , and his
opponents lost no opportunity to make
capital of his youth. In joint debate ,
'one day , one of Sheppard's opponents
proceeded something like this :
"Why , " he said , "it is ridiculous to
think of Bending a mere boy to Con-
grcrfs. It is a time and place where
, we need mature men with mature
minds. It reminds me of the old dar
key who thought the end of the world
was at hand and who got down on his
knees-to pray.
" 'O Lord , ' he pleaded , 'come down
and save this sinful world. And come
yourself , Lord ; don't send your son.
This ain't no time for boys. ' "

Live Stock ,
The great slock yards strike , expected -
, ed to paralyze the meat industry for
a time at least , began Tuesday. Ow
ing to the refusal of the packers to
grant a demand for increased wages ,
what promises to be one of the most
extensive strikes in the history of the
packing Industry of the United States
was begun in Chicago , Kansas City ,
Omaha , St Joseph , Mo. , and other
cities where large packing plants are
located. If prolonged , this strike is
expected to cause such widespread in
convenience as was never before
equaled , except by the anthracite coal
famine of two years ago.
No one can foretell how long the
strike will last Meat in Chicago took
a big jump In price at once. With
in a short time it will be impossible
for the city householder to secure meat
at all , unless the packers succeed in
running their establishments with non
union labor. More than 45,000 men and
their families are involved in the move
ment which has enforced this great
idleness. In Chicago alone 18,000 men
are on strike , and 10,000 more work
ers , whose services as electricians ,
steamfltters , firemen , engineers , car
workers , painters , clerks , bookkeepers
and teamsters will not be needed , will
be thrown out of employment
What Men Demand.
A uniform rate of wages , the mini
mum to equal the maximum now paid ,
a stationary date for the expiration of
all agreements , a fixed "living" wage
for unskilled workers , non-restriction
of union influence and no more than
ten hours a day's work , are some of
the essential requests of the union
which have been Incorporated into \ \
platform upon which the general offi
cials have accepted the strike power.
Anti-union , anti-increase and opposi
tion to all demands is the platform
upon which packers representing an
aggregate wealth of $107,000,000 have
decided to fight Tbe packers , it is
CHICAGO STOCK YAUDS.
dren held possession of the streets in
the vicinity of the yards , and at last
President Cleveland intervened and
sent regular troops to Chicago under
Gen. Nelson A. Miles. This put a
quietus on the rioters and prevented in
terference with the employment of
non-union men , allowing business to be
resumed. The stock yards employes
had no grievance of their own , but
those that struck went out in sympa
thy with the railway strikers.
In 1886. the year of the Hay market
riots , another attempt was made to tie
up the yards , but without success.
More recently was the attempt of
union teamsters to tie up the meat in
dustries not long ago , when rioting
became general in the streets of Chica
go. This strike was only settled after
wholesale arrests , scores of street
blockades , aiMl when Chicago was
threatened" with a meat famine be
cause of the determination of union
workers to prevetn the packers de
livering any supplies.

STORM HAVOC AT THE FAIR
Thousands Are Drenched and the Pike
Is Damaged.
Sweeping down from the north against
the heat and humidity that made St.
Louis a de.id center of atmospheric stag
nation last week , a terrific storm of cold
wind and hail wrought death and havoc
in the world's fair city Monday after
noon. The icy gale struck the exposi
tion at a time when the grounds were
thronged vrith sightseers and threw the
visitors into a panic. Thousands who
were within a few steps of the buildings
or just outside the attractions on the
Pike were drenched by the sudden down
pour.

countrymen to replace the striker ? ; .
The advertisements say the men are
to eat and sleep in the plants.
Other Stock Yarda Strikes.
The last time the Chicago stock
yards plants were tied up was in ISO I ,
during the great railway strike. For
six weeks all the industries were prac
tically tied up , no cattle being received
and none slaughtered. A mob of from
5,000 to 10,000 men , women and chil-
The storm swooped down at the rate
of sixty-five miles an hour , driving its
hail missiles with the velocity of bullets.
It ripped into the barnlike exposition
structures and shook them until the Jef
ferson Guards were ordered to lock the
immense doors in order that the wind
might not raise the roofs.
The rain came down in torrents , turn
ing the "cascades" into a Niagara , bring
ing the lagoon almost to a level with the
lawns and causing the electric launches
and gondolas to put hurriedly for port.
Strong gusts struck the canvas moun
tains on the Pike and blew over some ot
the gigantic painted boulders that tower
over the restaurant iu the Tyrolean Alps
known to visitors as the "Petroleum
Alps. " Jerusalem was shaken to its
foundations.
The storm had died to a velocity of
forty-eight miles an hour when it struck
the center of St. Louis , but it still re
tained strength enough to blow twelve
barges across the river and to send sev
eral river packets crashing against the
stone 'levees. Twenty-five houses in
Twenty-second street were unroofed , and
the steeple of the North Presbyterian
Church was blown into the front of a
grocery store. Plate glass windows were
broken like egg shells , and telephone and
telegraph wires were carried away for
miles.
Five persons were injured , and Thom
as O'Toole was struck by lightning near
his home and instantly killed. Five per
sons who lived in houseboats in the river
are not accounted for and may have been
drowned.
A panic occurred at the Union race
track. When the storm was at its worst
3,000 men , women and children were
running wildly about the grand stand
seeking shelter. A bolt of lightning
struck near the stand , but no one was
injured.
The right of the Citizens' Alliance to
use a label similar to one adopted by the
Typographical Uiion for use on all print

Twelve mules and three horses were
burned to death in a fire which destroy
