There was a time when a parasol was considered a luxury on Howard, Cor. 16th St. Bee 7-l-'07 men were asking If he thought the strike would be settled soon. "I told them," he wrote, "that I heard nothing of a settlement or anything that would Indicate a settlement; that the strike would last a long time yet and also that I believed the union would have to give up by next fall If we did not win by that time. "Now that the convention Is over I will iigaln take personal charge of the relief Work and will carry out the instructions I received from Mr. Carey (Plnkerton man ager) about a week ago In regard to cut 'ilng down the relief as much as possible so as to cause dissatisfaction and get the men against the union. I will put the blame for not giving the men more relief nl much as 1 can on W. D. Haywood by saying that I carried out bis Instructions." The ri?xt two reports read from operative No. 5 were detailed accounts of the pro ceedings at the . Western Federation of Miners' convention, which he attended as delegate. . There was nothing out of the rdlnary In the procpedlngs and nothing f an Inflammatory character. ' Report from Victor. Mr. Darrow next read reports from t'htlader H. Bailey, known as "Operative No. ." They were dkted from Victor, Colo., during the Cripple Creek strike. One of these letters was purely formal, detailing the proceeding of a union meet ing. . The letters developed nothing against the law and order as had been mentioned by the speakers or Ir.tervlfws with mem ber of the union. Following Bailey's re port came . the report of an operative named Rainier in Cripple Creek. Ralmer declared, under date of September 19. 1903, that the miners claimed to" .have all the bet of It.-Rut, unless (here 'was a break In the Mine Owners' association the oper ative thought their claims were doubtful. Ralbier reported that he' heard no radical J-3l! or threaia from the miners and that Hi miner acted as a committee of one Vtop oil disputes and disturbances. , The Vrs expressed sympathy for the strik- ,v that tho Plnkertons Invaded the fe fields of Colorado where the Ine Workers of America ton miners, reports were read from No. -Robert M.

Lon doner, now assistant .superintendent In the fenver office. The repores were from Victor, rrtlo., at the time . of the Independence -pot explosion, June 6, 1904. Londoner Id graphically of the Intense excitement tevaillng In the Cripple Creek district at la time and threats made against the tflilon. "I was made deputy as soon as I showed my fnce," Londoner wrote, "and was told to kill any union man or sympathizer who spoke to me." The operative added that at the tinio of his writing there was strong talk of taking the leaders of the union from the bull p.-n and banging them. The citizens demanded the resignation of Sheriff Robertson. He declined. They got a rope and put a noose adout Iris neck. He was given Ave minutes to dVctdo. Robertson looked at the mob. IT. .

"There Is no doubt thai an attempt was mad to kill Hamlin," he added, "as one f tha bullets grazed his head." "To soldiers were called out and several rra stationed on house tops. Without a demand to surrender they began to Are Into t'nlon hall and continued until a white flag was displayed. "In Union hall several hundred rifles, three barrels of ammunition and a big sup ply of provisions were found. Altogether eighteen men were killed at Victor.

Open Saturday Evenings. reported from Victor that In a search of the union hall he had found the photo graphs of two nonunion men. Upon the back of each picture was a cross. "This," said Londoner, "I am told la tha plan of marking men for death." Just before the luncheon recess was taken Mr. Darrow began to read from the re ports of Operator A. H. Crane, who was secretary of the Smelter Men's union at Colorado City, and who Is charged by the defense with having done much toward starting the strike which led to all the Cripple Creek disturbances. Crane's re ports were simply detailed statements of his daily movements and his advice to tho min ers to hold out and win the strike. Recess was ordered until 1:30 p. m. Portland Was Union Mine. After the recess Mr. Darrow continued to read from the reports of the Plnkerton operatives sent from the mining districts. In regard to the report of J. N. Londoner it was shown that this operative was not employed by the Mine Owners' associa tion, but was supposedly working against military and with the proprietors 'of the Portland mine, which was continuing to employ union men and was not disturbed during the strike. After the Independence depot affair, Londoner was afraid the Portland mine might be attacked as a re sult of the high feeling against the tinlon. "1 was satisfied serious trouble would de velop In a few hours," writes Londoner, "and, too, I believed the Portland mine would be attacked and the property de stroyed.' I therefore boarded the 7:60 a. m. Short Line for Colorado Springs to ac quaint the client of the condition of af fair!? ' , 1 '- ' .: . '" '' The defense claims the railroad officials knew that the Independence depot was to be blown up just prior to the arrival of the 2:0 train, the Idea being not to kill any one but to carry oul the affair as n attempted outrage on the part' of the West ern Federation of Miners. In this connec tion Mr. Darrow laid especial emphasis on that part of Operative Londoner's report which rend: .' ' "The killed miners were blown Into un recognizable masses of flesh ' and bone and when the crowd beheld thU eight It moved them to tears and then drove them Into a frenzy of Indignation. I talked with a young miner named Miller, employed at tho Shuthoff mine. He said lie was within a short distance of the depot when the explosion occurred. He claims the Colo rado & Florence train was running slower than usual and that the train actually stopped before the explosion and within a few yards of the depot. . . , Mr. Darrow concluded his reading by the Introduction of two letters written by Mc Purtlaml and one .. written to him. The first McPartland letter was addressed to George O. Pangs, general superintendent of the agency at New'Tfork. and had to do with Operative Crane. Friedman was then cross-examined by Benator Rorah.

TETANUS DERM THRIVES ON FILTH Ho Doc torn Warn Alt Mammas to Bee that Johnny's Wound Is Promptly and ThoronRhlr 1 leaned Oat. The season for the small boy's sacrifice is at hand the Glorious Fourth. 'Tie a grand day. Nevertheless It Is a day which the I average small boy celebrates not wisely but too well. Result Lockjaw and Johnny with the angels. Now is tho time for careful fathers and mothers to prepare for the carnage. In times of peace prepare for war. Proclama tions and decrees and ultimatums and ukases have been Issued as they have been Issued every year. But little Johnny cares not for anything of this kind and he will be there with the fireworks all through the Fourth. There will be burns and ac cidents and then the counting of fatalities will come as In former years. Now, If Johnny will be careful there need be no accidents. But If, by chance, he should burn himself or shoot his hand full of powder, let blm make haste to the House and have It attended to. If he does so, he may live In the land many years. If he does not he may be numbered with the slain. For lockjaw Is a most Insidious dis ease. Johnny will feel all right after the has shot himself full of powder. And then a few dayr or weeks later the deadly ti tanus germs will get In Its awful work and produce Its swful result. Tetanus Thrives on Filth. The tetanus germ thrives on filth. If tht wound Is cleaned out after Johnny has shot himself and If It Is kept clean until a physician can give It attention no bad results need follow. "If people would only obsorve a few little eommon sense rules there would be practically no fatal results from the Fourth of July celebration," said -ft leading Omaha physician. Then he gave the following as the best and simplest lotion to apply to burns. Linseed oil one part Lime water one part This mixture Is of a bright yellow color find Is known as carron oil. It can be secured at any drug store, but before the poultice Is applied the wound or burn should be thoroughly washed in warm water to which carbolic acid has been added In the proportion of one teaspoon ful of the acid to the quart of water. A soon as the physician arrives he will attend to the wound If It needs further attention, though often the application of the carron oil Is sufficient to effect the cure. "Keep the dirt out of the wound; that Is the main thing to do," concluded the physician. Here are a few "don'ts" for the Fourth. While some of them have a somewhat frivolous tone, all contain truths: Don't set off blank cartridges with canes behind timid young women, for their es corts may be prize fighters. Don't attempt to drop a firecracker down a man's back. He may be a special police man In disguise. Oon't refuse cannon crackers to the baby. He may have the makings of a Dewey or a Hobson In him. Don't forget the sick man next door. Bet oft plenty of firecrackers below his window thst he may know the American people have not forgotten the days of 1776. Don't attempt to hold firecrackers In the hand. It I better to light them with a 9lece .of punk while they are lying on the ground. Re careful not to stand over a skyrocket while lighting It In using a revolver with blank cartridges hold the weapon well out from the. arm while firing It. Never point the revolver at anyone, even though It be loaded with blanks. In shooting Roman candles be sure to send the balls up Into the air. . . If the fuse goes out on a firecracker It Is better to wait a few minutes than to take a chance on picking it up and having It explode (n the hand. In all cases use common sense.

Tough Tenderfoot Sargent has a number of "hlrhtoned bloods" who think what they do aot know In the way of sport and devilment Is not worth knowing. About a week ago. a Stranger, from Boston, dropped In to that town and those . "smartles" ird him' tip as fk "tendetfoot," so, laid ihrlr plans accordingly. They told hint stories about prairie chickens and how 'much fun It was to catch them at night fwith a' sack and lantern the old "snipe" gam. The tenderfoot wes eager to see tlow it worked. Consequently about dark Six or eight, among whom were the cash iers of the Sargent and Comstock state ranks, procured teams and drove out four Ipr five miles when they prepared their rap. by giving him Instructions ft yard lonir. After they had got well out of sight and hearing, the greeny (?) took the two teams and drove back to town, put the teams In the bsrn, wrote a sign "this bank closed, cashier gone snipe hunting," posted It on the front door of th bank, and aald nothing to anyone, then went to. bed. : About 12 or 1 o'clock the fallows came tramping home, and, think In, of course, the greeny had "given them away," they wok up half the town with their racket. But fliat was not all. When tlie fun-loving people of the town "caught on" and had crowded Into the bank to Its utmost capacity and made life a burden tn the smartles, some one called for the cigars, which soon, arrived.

The matter was described a being at the present time In statu qub. It was said by a representative of the consul general that the consulate Is not now awaiting Instructions from Toklo. but la simply delaying action for further con sideration of the incidents of the attack. It was further Id that the consulate was Investigating the complaint of local Japanese that their race Is being discrim inated against by the Board of Police Commissioners In' refusing to grant them liquor licenses, Junk licenses, Intelligence office licenses and licenses for similar mu nicipal privileges. Tlie reply of the board is that it Is acting under an ordinance which forbids the Issuance of llq'lor licenses to any save citizens of this country and persons who have declared thefr Intention of becoming citizens and In accordance with the rule for the board , that other licenses named shall not be granted to for eigners until American residents haVe more fully recovered . from the business shock of last year's earthquake arid Are.

It has also made traffic arrangements with so-called independent companies which give it connections with 40,000 addi tional telephone stations. The company has earned and paid in dividends at the rate of 6 per cent per annum without a break for the past ten years, and by careful manage ment has accumulated a surplus of $500, 000 to provide for storm damages and other emergencies. For every dollar of capital the company can show actual plant value, which makes the stock a most conservative investment. Although the equipment is modern in every respect, the capitalization per telephone is extremely low, being less than $100 per station (that is per telephone) including real estate, toll lines and property of all kinds. This means that the fixed charges to be earned by each telephone are so low that ample provisions can be made or maintainance and reconstruction, this keep ing the underlying property value at par. Tlie exact figures at the beginning of the year show that the total capital and debt was $4,324,289.69, the total number of tele phones was 44,517, so that by dividing the total capital and debt by the total number of telephone stations, the result showed a capitalization per telephone of $97.14. This figure in itself is proof positive to any telephone man that there is not a dol lar of water in the Nebraska Telephone Company. Because it has no watered stock nor inflatation of its capital, the Nebraska Telephone Company can give its subscrib ers the greatest possible value for their money in the way of service. It is in a posi tion to be a good public servant. The stock of the Nebraska Telephone Company is pot speculative, but an investment; the busi ness of the Nebraska Telephone Company is not a guess, but a science.

' SPECULATION Bonds on a projected telephone plant have been offered at par and sweetened with from 50 to 100 per cent of common stock aa a bonus. On its face this proposition seems to admit that every dollar's worth of plant at least a dollar and a half in securities will be issued. But this is not all, for, in addition to the 6tock issued as water to stimulate the sale of bonds, a greater amount of stock must be issued to carry the control of the com pany. This means that more than two dol lars' worth of securities must be issued upon each dollar's worth of plant. Having gone so far it is easy to go farther and cre ate securities up to three or our times thf cost of the plant. . The recent disasters which have come to Bo-called independent telephone companies, and notably the downfall of the United States Independent. Telephone Company which was capitalized for $50,000,000 and and agreed to sell out the control for $5, 000,000, or ten cents on the dollar, have been caused by the inflation of the capi talization in order to offer large bonuses of watered stock to prospective, investors. In the case of the United States Telephone Company, the end was hastened by unfavor able money market and by 26 cent copper and a corresponding advance in the costs of construction. The underwriting rights for several new independent companies whjch are beipg( hawked about the country, cannot prove anything but disastrous in the end if a plant built at the present high prices "of material is loaded with a capitalization of two or three times its cost. It is annuonced that the proposed new telephone plant in Omaha, will be bonded for $1,500,000 and will issue $1,500,000 of preferred stock", and it is fur ther announced that 6,000 telephones in Omaha will pay interest on this $3,000,000 of capitalization, provide a sinking fund , and carry a net profit to surplus.' This means that each telephone will pay 4he fixed charges on $500 of capitalization, and that an investor who puts $100 into ilie scheme will have a fifth interest in the earnings of one telephone. , ' . !
