Ing between the operators and officials thua
far and chief operators are taking tho
situation with as little strlousm us as
possible, At both Western I'nlon and Pos
tal offices Saturday ths operators were
flooded with business. An early closlne
of the grain and stock mnrkcts assisted
partially In relieving tho crush of busi
ness, and today will doubtless bo utilized
to partially clear up the thousands of
te'egrsms which have accumulated since
Friday morning.

"Pap" Wallace, the veteran I'nlon Pa
cific conductor, who has bean spending his
vacation watching ball games in Chicago
during the last two weeks, said on hi re
turn the most noticeable feature of the
telegraphers' strike which came under his
observation was at the Chicago base ball
parka.
"The press has a large box, or boxes, nt
both the league parks," said Mr. Wallace,
"and In these boxes are seen as many as
thirty operators, sending off special stuff
to the Chicago and other papers for their
sporting extras. There wss quite a change
Friday, for at the Weat Side grounda In
stead of the thirty operators were three
men sending messages hy telephone. The
telegraph operators were striking."
rged this morning on the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited train of the Lake Shore rail
road. The -arrangements for the housing and
feeding of the men has been kept a secret,
but It Is believed that they will he kept on
the plant of the company to prevent the
possibility of their meeting with any vio
lence at tho hands of strike sympathizers.
The union men In the streets when the
strike breakers arrived said they would
feel no alarm, that the operators wefw not
good ones and that even If they were Im
porting them Into Chicago they could not
do the companies much good when the men
are striking elsewhere over the country. -Ft
ret Violence at Chirac.
The first violence In the telegraph opera
tors' strike In Chicago occurred early to
day, when a clerk In the main offices of
the Postal Telegraph oompany was as
saulted and knocked down In Clark street,
between Monroe and Adams streets, as he
was on his way home from work. He was
going north on the west side of Clark
Street, when two men, who, he declared',
had been following him,-came out of an
alley and attacked him. He was struck on
the hack of the head and knocked down.
When he got up the men were running
west In the alley.
The clerk, who refused to give his name,
overtook Policeman O'Hare and reported
the assault to him and also telephoned a
warning to the employes who were still
at their posts In the Postal office. O'Hare
accompanied the man to the Postal build
ing and made a search for Ms assailants,
which proved fruitless. .
Will Consult la New Tork Tomorrow.
NEW lOfRK. Aug. 10.-A strike of the
2,0u0 telegraphers In New Tork In sympathy
with the Chicago strike Is to be considered
at a meeting called for tomorrow. Presi
dent Ahearn of the local said early today:
"It 1 likely that New Tork will be In
volved In the strike. The union has done
all In Its power to prevent a stilke, but tho
company has not aqted farlly. I think the
strike will become general throughout the
country."
Officials of the Western Vnlon and Postal
Telegraph companies, who yesterday ex
pressed, the belief that the strike In Chi
cago would prove to be local In Its nature,
said today that the situation was such that
preparations were being made to handle
the business In case the men walked out.
Minor officials and clerks of both com
panies who have not worked at the key

wires, while nonunion men who remain at

When a strike wss threatened several
weeks ago the Western Union purchased
scores of cots to take oare of the strike
breakers In the main office of the company
If necessary. The company officials be
lieve that they will effectually break the
strike, should It be called, within a short
time. They say that, the union does not
control over CO per cent of the telegraphers
here and that the union treasury Is empty.
President Ahearn denied today that the
local union was without funds and said
that the telegraphers eould finance a long
strike.
Little Change at Kansas City.
KANBAS CITT, Aug. 10. There' was but
little char ge here today In the Western
Union strike situation. Oeorge W. Brown
son, local manager, stated that they had
about thirty operators at work at the main
office, an increase of fifteen over yester
day and that with this force they were
moving business In fair shape. On the
other hand, Cal E. Ryle, who has charge
of the strike for the operators, declared
that none of the strikers .had gone back
to work and the the Western Union's force
consisted of wire "chiefs, . the four or five
operators, who remained In yesterday, a
nonunion irutn, who was passing through
the olty and a few office girl's, 'who had
been pressed Into service. The branch of
fices were -still, closed.
The strikers met today to consider ths
situation and probably formulate' a set
of demands to be presented to Manager
ISrownson. The agreed to let the Board
of Trade operators go, to work, the board
and not the Western Union pay their sal
aries. Pickets wcre ordered placed at all
Western Union offices. Oeorge J. ' Frankel,
district superintendent of St. Louis, ar
rived here today and will aid his company
in disentangling their difficulties.
Manager Urownson said this morning:
"About thirty men were at work last r.lght
and thia morning. Our bualness Is well
cleaned up and we expect to be In better
shape by Monday."
None Ga Bnrk at Denver.
DENVER. Aug. 10. Conditions at the
local office of the Western Union Telegraph
company remain about the same today.
None of the eighty-five operatora who went
on strike yesterday have gone to work,
but the Western Union officials ssy they
havs secured fllteen operators and are
moving business with some delay. The
Postal operators are still Working.
y
Omaaa It.raa Center.
Omaha has become a storm center tn the
strike of telegraph operators.
At once the Western Union operatora In
Chicago, Kansas City and Denver went out
and It threw the burden of the weatern
relaying onto the Omaha office, with tho
result that men were compelled to
work twenty-four hours In the locsl offici.
Tension Increased Friday night, when men
were held for all night duty and became
greater when they Were net relieved Sat
urday morning. Several got up and left
their work, saying It waa not possible for
them to continue longer at work.
A meeting of the union has been called
for Barlght's hall today at 13" p. m. The
meeting will be an executive gathering and
-will not be what Is known aa an "opta
meeting." The question of procedure will
be taken up at that meeting and It la an
ticipated the local executive committee will
be empowered to call a strike If It appears
good policy to do so. '
Hesitate t. Art Hastily.
In view of President Small's Instructions
that no strike shall be called In Omaha,
the local union has hesitated to take any
action that would appear hasty, It Is felt,
however, that since Omaha has become
such an Important fnotor Irt the strike
situation action should be taken. -Reports
of additional walkouts wero received dur
ing the morning.
About the only oonoern in the country
which haa been able to keep In continuous
communication with Its client Is the Asso
ciated Press, which, through Its leased wire
service, has been able tq maintain a con
tinuous service. Many brokers have been
nearly put out of business by the strike.
The Associated Press has experienced Its
principal trouble tn furnishing press ro
ports to papers In the small towns, where
telegraph companies handle the report
through their main offices. Several hun
dred thousand words of these small prees
reports are filed In Chicago with the West
ern Union, and with the strike on It be
came necessary to send this from other
large western offices. The operators being
out nt Kansas City and Denver, has thrown
the burden of this work on to tho Oninha
office, where extra men are being em
ployed In an attempt .to furnish thosj
smaller papers with a partial news service.
Klrkland Expects Relief.
Secretary Klrkland says ths meeting
today will decide what action la to be
taken and he anticipate steps may be
taken to relieve the local men of the bur-
KRUG PARK JJABIT GROWING
Concert Rand Musle Attracts Many
Visitors Who Haven't Brest "
There Before.
The Importance In the public estimation
that Krug park holds as an amusement
and outing resort these hot summer days
has been strongly emphasized during the
last three weeks. Concort band muslo of
the highest possible order had been pro
vided for the patrons of the pork, and
the result haa been that the Krug park
habit has been steadily growing with a
large number of people who heretofore
have not been familiar with the great
floral and landscape beauties add the
amusement attraction that are offered
dally at "Omaha' polite resort."
From Its elevated position, occupying as
It does tho highest pofnt of land In Doug
las county, It Is swept by cool evening
breezes when It Is "hotter than Tophet"
down town. The amusement attractions
are of great variety, and comprise every
feature of an up-to-date summer park.
"Wonderland," entirely rebuilt, la far
more attractive than ever. The . olrcln
swing Is a new feature this season, and Is
source of endless exhilarating delight
and pleasure. Everyone greatly admires
the flowers, foliage, and shrubbery of the
park. They have never been more attraou
Ive than they are now.
Krug park Is anldeal outing resort, and
the liberality of the management in this
direction Is very marked. On next Wednes
day the Omaha veteran firemen will have
their picnic In the park, and on Thursday
the veterans of Oeorge Crook post,
Orand Army of the Republic will hold
their annual outing. Both of these or
ganizations have strong claims upon the
public favor, and both outings will be
largely patronised, to the benefit of their
respective treasuries.
Concerts afternoon and evening today by
Finn' Greater Omaha band, and the as
censions of the big balloon will be today'
feature.

loss of appetite, dyspepsia, bowel troubles,

coffee many years, and though I took great
care In making It, felt lta 111 effects very

me of my appetite for brefekfast.
"I alwaya had trouble with dyspepsia
while I used It, I waa told by physician

came to believe there was no help for me.
Two years ago I quit ths use of coffee
and began to use Postum Food Coffee. At
first I missed the stimulant, although the
taste of the food coffee waa delicious.
"In a few days I forgot all about my
coffee. In the satisfaction I derived from
Postum, and soon fnund that my appetite
returped, the bilious condition and dys
pepsia disappeared, so that now I am
proud to s.y that at the age of sirrenty

"These troubles had been with me for

Once In a while I find a person who does
not like Postum, but I alwaya find It I be

There Is but one way to make good Postum,
snd that Is to make It exactly according to
directions, allowing It to boll full fifteen
minutes, not after It Is placed on the stove,
