EACH CLAIMS INCREASING STRENGTH Defeetleaa Oecar at DlfTereat Pelats, bat Company Asserts Ability to Flit Strikers' riaeee la Every Case. The seventh week of the TTnlon Purlfln Strike has opened with no Indication of a settlement. The bollertnskers went out ne IS. Which resllr u the hlnnln nf the strike, except that the molders had quit some time before thst. but they were practically eliminated from the strike ac tivities when the company closed down Its rounary ana dismantled the building. From their attitudes and their claims both the company and strikers are even more de- rminea in tnelr respective positions st its stage of the proceeding then at the outset. The officials avow their Intention Introduce niece work, end itnorat. thai shops Independent of the strikers, while the latter declare ther never will evnt rio. work, but will, eventually, return to work In tho Union Paclflo shops, which can mean but one thing, namely, that the men count winning tne ognt.on their own terms. 'The strike will never be settled with these men." and "we eannot take hark tna mea In our shoos." era einreaalnni whlh hare been. made within the past week by the omciais nanaiing the company's end of the controversy. As yet the company has not s-nnerallv Introduced piecework so that the non union men who bsve taken strikers places are still getting their dallr vm In mot Instances.' At Cheyenne, however, an or- aer was issued by the company declaring piecework In force and this is what caused the blacksmiths and others to oult Raven blacksmiths laid down their tools, put out ineir ares and left the shops, while five men in the tlnshop struck and three axelmen. Places Quickly Filled. The officials admitted the blacksmiths, but held that within nni hour after the mea left the shops five had oeen suppiantea. as a matter of fact thirty nonunion mea had been sent Into Cheyenne during tbo dsy, so that the eompany found It an easy matter to start up the forges with these five men. Strikers claim defections. In nthr ni.i... At Omaha yesterday they say nine men left the shops, and at North Platte they hold that one walked out, while at Kansas iity iney assert defections are occurring every day. As an offset to these claims officials hold that In no shop on their en tire System has the fnrra nf nnn tifitnn wm An been materially diminished and that In very case inese forces are adequate. Further reports from Cheyenne received by District Secretary Grace nf tha mi. chlnlsts state that thirty-eight engines are in ue round nouse awaiting repairs and that the switch tracks enntrhue tn n. blocked with freight cars, the most of wnica are loaded and cannot bo moved for the lack of motive power, in connection With thO Question Of motive mnr m-hlnh Is the Issue over which the strikers and tne eompany are disputing mostly, the compsny makes tho claim that Its facili ties tn the Omaha shops are In such good condition that three engines have Just been turned out and that another one. No. 1835, which was the first to leave the nm.h. shops after the strike. Is doing good ser vice near Bianey. These claims ara at onra danliul W fca strikers, who maintain that none of these inrea engines were in xne snops lor gen eral repair, nut oniy to receive some minor work, and that No. IMS has hrnkon Ann near Kearney and has not been able to leave ins round nouBe at Grand island islncs. Boiler Makers Get Good Hews. Local boiler makers were enthused yes terday when news came from Chicago that the striking boiler makers there had won their fight after a two days' oontest. It waa believed here that the Union Paclflo would make an effort to employ some of the striking boiler makers In Chlcsgo, but whether there wss any foundation for such a belief Is not known. At any rate that factor Is eliminated alnoe the Chicago strike has been settled. Tho men will get 15 cents sn hour for inslds work and (0 cents for outside work. No pleoework Is exacted In the agreements. Another ele ment of this agreement Is that the men on outside work get 11 an hour for over time. ' President Kennedy of the district lodge here says thst these concessions are greater than those asked by the Union Paclflo boiler makers. He says a fiat rate of 8216 cents aa hour for inside and out side work and time and a half tor over time In the Omaha and Armstrong shops and Increases la western Wyoming, where living expenses are very high, to 17 cents an hour, are the demands. Charles Hemple, the new, general boiler maker Inspector of the Union Paclflo, em ployed fro"m the Burlington shops at Have look, left last night with General Manager Dickinson for a trip over the entire sys tem with a view of determining the needs of his department. President McNeil of the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers . and Iron Shipbuilders, who left the fore part of the week for the western end of the Union Paclflo, returned to the city last night and consulted a few hours with District Presi dent Kennedy . prior to leaving for Little Rock, Ark., where he Is called to look Into some difficulty between the boiler makers oa the Iron Mountain and that eompany. - FOR COMMERCIAL CONGRESS TraaemlssUslppt Organisation 'Will Meet at t. Faal ' Darlae;. Aaarast. It. 3. Blowers of Dsvtd City,' a Nebraska member of the executive committee of the Transmlsslsstppl Commercial - cengreee, which Is to be In St. Paul, August 15-22. In clusive, states that the present officers are trying hard to make the meeting a greater success than any held before. In his opin ion the people of this state should hsve a particular Interest In It, as among the ques tions to be discussed are the problems of Irrigation and reclamation of arid lands as well as the less local' subjects, ' waterways and harbors. He quotes from the circular that the gov ernor may appoint ten delegates, the mayors of Omaha and Lincoln ten each, and the mayor of any other city tn the state one each and one addtt?;al for each 6,000 in habitants; commercial clubs and other busi ness organisations one each and one ad ditional for each fifty members: county boards one each, and fair associations, by their presidents and secretaryles, one each. Names of thoee who are to go should be tent to the secretary, Arthur L. Francis of Cripple Creek, Colo., or to Mr. Blowers, preferably the former. A certificate from the mayor and clerk and from the presi dents and secretaries of organisations will admit anyone to, the congress. All railroads, Mr. Blowers says, will make a rate of one tare for the round trip, and there la promise of reasonable rates for ac commodations while In Bt. Paul. Low-rate excursions are to be rue from that, city to surrounding pelats of interest. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; SUNDAY, Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. Bow To Find Ont.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTII OMAHA Brndicats Park Improvements Appear to Be Taking Form. i . i a P. E. HER SAID TO HAVE HAD PLANS DRAWN They Call for Haadsome Straetara at F.dae of Lake, Wfclck le te Be Falerred Mag-le City Ocssla. The grading of Twentieth street through Syndicate park wss completed ' over a month ago and It was understood at that time that the north gate would be opened at once In order that vehicles might use the roadway. This has not been docs. It Is understood that the South Omaha Laud company will Insist upon three electric lights being located along Twentieth street through the park and that the city provide police protection. When these conditions are compiled with by the city the road will doubtless be opened. Just at the present time the city is In no shsps financially to provide either the lights or the police protection asked for, but It ts thought that some arrangements will be made to meet the requirements of the land company in this respect. . It was stated here yesterday that some time today P. E. Her and Herman Kountse would visit the park for the purpose of looking over the ground and planning ex tensive Improvements. One report has It that Mr. Her Is anxious to turn the park Into private club grounds, erect a club house and a bandstand, as well as other buildings. To this end he has caused an eastern architect to draw plans for a club house. The plans, which cost not less than 11,000, call for a splendid building to be erected on a site overlooking the lake and be commodious enough to accommodate the members of the proposed club. The eastern architect has also planned drives, walks and shady bowers. The lake. If the plans are carried out, 1s to ba drained and enlarged. Before the water will be let in a cement flooring la to be laid In order to keep the water free from mud. It is reported that Mr. Her favors the ex penditure of about $50,000 In arranging the park for pilvate club grounds. Something definite probably will ba known about the project after the Inspec tion today by Mr. Her and Mr. Kountse. Another Dry Sunday. Mayor Koutsky announced yesterday that be hal not modified his Sunday Closing or der in the least and as far as he was con cerned the saloons would be closed today. There seems to be a feeling of unrest among the liquor dealers and a number asserted last evening that they did nut propose to stand closing much longer, order -or no or der. A member of the council asserted yiat the chances were that on Monday night a resolution would be offered In the council directing the chief of police to close all stores and keep them cloeed from midnight Saturday until Monday morning. Drug stores are, however, to be permitted to be open for one hour on Sunday. In this matter Mayor Koutsky Is being greatly worried by triends on boi.ii sides, but he declares that he will not rescind the orders given. No additional police will be employed today, but an effort will be made by the officers and detectives on duty to close all places found keeping open. So far all of the seven complaints filed charge keeping open on Sunday, the sale of liquor not being mentioned. These com plaints have been made under the city or dinance and not under the state law gov erning tho sale or giving away of liquor. . ' ' Cashed Boa as Cheek. A' day or two ago a prominent business man cashed a check for S1C.25 which now appears to be a forgery. The check was drawn to the order of Murphy ft Rlnchey, horseshoers at Twenty-second and N streets and was signed M. A. Dlsbrow ft Co. When the check was presented to the merchant by a.small boy he noticed thst it had been endorsed by Murphy ft Hlnchey and showed no hesitation in cashing it. In the course of business the check was banked and sent to Omaha for collection when It was de clared that both the signature and the en dorsement were forgeries. The small boy has disappeared and the polios hare no de scription of the man who sent the boy on the errand. Calvert Completed. Yesterday the -cement culvert at Thirtieth and Y streets was completed, the expense being a little less than $200. The engineer ing department expects that this culvert will last for a long time now as the floor of the culvert has been lowered and covered with a thick coating of concrete. The walls are of concrete also. As It Is now the new culvert is sixty-six feet In length. All that remains to bo done ts to fill In the excava tion and this work will be completed Mon day. Telephone Troubles. During the heavy electrical storm lsst Wednesday night lightning struck tha tele phone cable bos at Twenty-fourth and N streets and not only melted a large number of wires enclosed in cables, but spilt the cables, permitting the entrance of water. Since that time electricians have been at work dsy and night drying out the cables and replacing ths damaged wires. This, In a great measure, aocounts for the delay in service during tho last few days. In order to take care of customers Manager Holland found It necessary to string a large number of temporary wires. It Is expected that the cables will be repaired by Monday. , Mre. Dillon Seriously III. Mrs. M. A, Dillon was removed to St. Joseph's hospital Friday and yesterday an operston for appendicitis waa performed Mr. Dillon said last evening that his wife survived the operation as well as could be expeoted, but that her complete recovery would not be assured for several dsys yet.

R. R. Co. In 1893 paid $13,19 4.17 tax on an asseeaed valuation which was $29,067 higher than In 1901, in 1901 they paid $19,618.33 tax In this county, so the fact remains that the C, B. ft Q. R. R. Co. paid $7,324 15 mors taxes in 1901 than thsy did In 1893. ..This is a marked example of the effect of how these chsnges of raluatlon of other property throughout the state here affected the railroads and explains that although railroad assessments might be lower i a various counties, nevertheless, their payment tor TAXES In money have Increased In this term of years. This Is a very prosperous county; the citizens are making money, and they are n ot unduly taxed, but the effort of the assessor to get a lower valuation year by year than neighboring counties is the reason for the changes made.
