Prepei-Biory to demanding an actual ln

rlnMiri on tha Burlington system fifty mem
bers of tha grievance oommlttea of tha
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen of that
railroad, representing all lta numerous di
visions, held a aecret meeting Thursday at
tha Murray hotel and left the city In tha
evening before many people knew they had
been here. They made no demand on local
Burlington officials, their plan being to go
straight to headquarter In Chicago with
their grievance, where they might meet offi
ciate with authority to deal with the entire
system, rather than merely some dlrlslon
:or two.
O. N. Marsh atl of Oaleaburg. 111., chalr-
l man of the committee, presided. D. S.
jUtiey, chairman of tha local lodge of tha
ttrotnertiooa at Bhenaan, wyo., - waa
'actlre conferee.
Recently Burlington officials granted an
I Incraaae of pay to these employes upon the
'basle of tli a miles they travel. The men
ay this la no Increase at all, for It does
. not contemplate the time they must put In
to make tha extra mileage. They Insist on
an Increase upon the mileage operated per
diem. Objection waa urged against tha
wage basis being upon the mileage schedule
without reference to the hours per day. It
was held that the Increase made waa merely
a technical Increase, but at the same time
meant an Increase In the number of houra
of work per day required without a fair
compensation for overtime, which would
not by any mean be equalized on the pro
posed mileage basis and waa in actual fact
only a subterfuge.
Tha statement has been repeated by local
Burlington managers that their men are
not discontented,' so far as they have any
reason to know, with their relations to the
company, but tha grievance committee'
meeting tends to Indicate the discontent Is
general over the system and fairly well
Impressed upon the mlnda of the men.

, Tha journeymen plumbs re and fitters now
on a lock out have taken no action to meet
the decision of the Business Men'a associ
ation to support the master plumbers In
their fight against the Building Trader
council. Officers ' of the Plumbers' and
Fitters' union Friday morning said there
was no present occasion to take any re
taliatory . action, as the locked out men
were In control of the situation.
"It Is possible that if outside men are
placed on a job the other crafts will sup
port us, as they have signified a willingness
to do so, but not until we find It absolutely
necessary will we ask for help. We trust
there will be no occasion to Involve any
other union in this affair. We look for
soma settlement within a week or so,"
Secretary Kugel said.
Friday morning an officer of tha Building
Trades' council received a letter from A. J.
Cronkhlte of the Cedar Rapids council. Mr.
Cronkhlte aald an Omaha maater plumber
named Daly waa In Cedar Rapids trying to
hire journeymen plumbers at $5 per day
and on a year's contract Mr. Cronkhlte
said Daly claimed he had $50,000 subscribed
by Omaha contractors and business men
with which to fight the Building Trades'
council. The Cedar Rapids man said Daly
was not having much success In Iowa.
Journeymen plumbers said they were told
the Daly In question was W. T. Daly of 701
South Sixteenth street
W. T. Daly was seen In his shop Fri
day afternoon.
'I was In Marshalltown. Cedar Rapids,
Iowa City and other Iowa towns looking
for plumbers, but did not have much suc
cess over there. I did not offer $5 per day
and said nothing about having a backing
of $60,000 offered In the manner referred to
or in any other manner. While the Master
Plumber's, association has a press commit
tee to do the talking for us, I will answer
a question regarding the situation by say
ing that the master plumbers are content
to let things rest awhile. Work Is not
suffering much just now and soon as we
need mora men we will be able to get
them," Mr. Daly said.

"Six dollars a day." came from the clerk.
"Six dollars a day!" the bridegroom al
most shouted. "I thought you meant W a

The . clerk simply smiled. Finally tha
bridegroom paid over the money.
"Now, he aald. calming down somewhat,
"wait a minute. I want to go upstairs.
Keep that money In your hand."
Tha clerk didn't understand, but ha de-
elded to humor the man. The latter soon
returned with a camera. Aiming It at tha
clerk, he took a picture.
"This Is ths highest priced place I ever
atopped at." he explained. "I juat wanted

"I just got a little careless. I thought I
would twist the horse's tongue to make him
go and Just as I did It be Jerked back his
head and a piece of his tongue came off."
Thus Q. P. Hamilton explained to Judge
Crawford In police court Friday morning
how he happened to be guilty of the hor.
rlble torture to a dumb animal. Hamilton
was accused of having tied a cord to the
tongue of a horse belonging to the Ameri
can Transfer company, pulling It out of the
animal's head. He threw the tongue to one
sldja and then tried to keep the matter
quiet, but the horse was unable to eat or
drink and Its terrible abuse was discovered.
Hamilton Immediately went Into hiding.
but was captured after a search of twelve
hours by ths police, upon complaint of the
owners of the horse and the Nebraska Hu
mane society. Judge Crawford wasted no
time on the case and fined the prisoner
$100 snd costs, but then discovered the
limit set by law Is a fine of JSO or thirty
days In Jail. The fine was set at 160.
"I have read in books and pamphlets of
such cruelty as that, but It is the first
time in my experience that I have come
across so gross an Instance myself," said
Secretary Mann of the humane society.
Aside from the offense committed against
the law the transfer company that owned
th- horse Is out a very good animal, whose
cost It will have to bear, since no action
la taken against the man who caused Its
death.
map, but referred the writer to Major
Lamar Fontaine of Lyons, Miss., the a. ell
known civil engineer, explorer, scientist
and raconteur, who Immediately made an
Investigation . and has publicly expressed
his confidence In Prof. McMickle's theory.
The latter asked Major Fontaine to ad
vise him whether there existed on the
farm a collection of Indian mounds, sur
rounding a truncated pyramid, the remains
of a ship canal and other external evidences
of ancient civilisation. These things Major
Fontaine states that he found Just as de
scribed by Prof. McMlckle. and the latter
declares that this was ths site of the an
cient city of Pesedon, destroyed by a con
Junction of Mercury, Venus. Mars and
Jupiter on November 8, 1SS6, of the world's
history, or just 4,235 years ago on the 8th of
last November. He further declares that
Pesedon was reached by tide water on that
date, and the mouth of the Yaioo river at
that time was five or six feet below the
sea level.
Mr. Henry has advlSAd - the Kansas
scientist that he Is welcome to dig all he
wants to, and the only compensation he
asks Is that In event the temple la un
earthed he shall receive one of the golden
doors. Prof. McMlckle states that hs has
absolutely conclusive evidence, based on
the book of Genesis and Greek and Egyp
tian records, that Tasoo county was the
birthplace of man, and it will only be
necessary to dig the required depth In
order to find positive proof of hla belief.

ANCIENT HONORS FOR YAZOO,
Gardea Spot of Adam and Etc
Aaala Located by Eitr.
J aretle Promoters.
Prof. Clinton McMlckle, a Kansas sci
entist and archaeologist Is sq confident
that the Garden of Eden was located In
Yazoo county, Mississippi, that he wants
to orgsnlss a stock company for the pur
pose of making extensive excavations on
the farm of Hon. W. A. Henry, a well
known lawyer and planter, located about
seven, miles south of Yaxoo City. fOr the
purpose of unearthing tha ruins of a once
splendid city erected shortly after the ex
pulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden.
Prof, McMlckle passes lightly over tha
theory of many brother scientists that the
Garden of Eden was a myth, and is ab
solutely positive that on the Henry farm
will be found the ruins of a magnificent
temple, the doors 0 which sre of pure
gold. Hs has not .visited the spot in per

SEEK HEALTH AND FORTUNE
Desert Caravans of Gold Hunters and
Consumptives Travel Slda
by Slda.
Ever journeying across tha desert sands
and climbing the arid peaks and foothills
of the far southwest are two caravans,
one seemingly rugged and healthy, though
afflicted with a disease called goldomanla,
the other emaciated by ' the Great White
Plague.
One la scarcely mora optimistic than the
other; one procession seeks a glittering yel
low dust that means riches, tha other a
peolous thing health. Though tha trail
may be long and the water holea Infre
quent, though the desert sun may be blis
tering and the tongue swollen with thirst,
though the mountains may be steep and
the path strewn with cacti, there Is the
glittering substance In th sand a little
further on for the Argonaut; a lease of
life at the horizon, when 'the red desert
sun announces another day for the White
Plague's victim.
To many aeeking their wonted vigor
the hope that ever carries them onward la
aometlmea as futile as the race after the
wtll-o'-the-wisp that lures the Argonaut.
But the nrocesslon moves on and on;
the pllgrluts cannot leave the sands until
the mountain air and sunshine have
healed tha scars made by Death's chief
ally.
The main trail of the weak-lunged leads
from Pecos to Yuma. For mors than 1,000
miles prospector and plague-ridden trav

seeking gold nearly all are poor. In the
caravan exiled and fighting for health there
are rich and poor, high and low, demo
cratic and fraternal In their Ills and ax
