The position of 'operating surgoon at the

the moat Important In the medical depart
ment of the army, as more dMIoate and dlf-
ftault operations are performed on soldiers
In these island tlmn la any division' In the
t'nlted Slates.
The post has been filled for the 1at two
years by Major Alexsnder N. fllsrk, whose
work brought high credit to his corps..
Captain Rhoads has a remarkable record
as a aurgeon. For the five' years previous
to his appointment to the army he was aa
slstant to Dr. W. ' W. Keen, professor of
orgrry at Jefferaon Medical college, Phila
delphia and one of the foremost surgeons
In the country. '
In llf'il 1h' beginning of the Spanish
war Captain Rhoads entered the army.
He had charge of tha surgical ward at the
Third Reserve hospital, now the Luneta
barracks. In iflno. He then acrved with the
First cavalry In field service for six months
and after that had charge of the surgical
work In the First reserve now dlvlalon
hospital.
He aerved from May until November,
1H as assistant surgeon In the navy.
Ha had charge of the surgical work at
th general hospital lu8an Francisco dur

struotor In surgery at l,West Tolnt for two

Obstacle of Civil Service.
The civil service In the Islands threatens
to bo seriously Impaired. Th number.
Of thoso under the servloa who resign their
positions and take the first steamer fof
the United States Is Increasing alarmingly.
It Is astonishing and disheartening to thoso
who expect to stay her to sea tha large
numbers. ho are deserting the snrvlco.
Men who have been here two, three, four,
It or seven yearns and are Just in tha
position where they might get something
really good are leaving' their places and
going home.
It Is the opinion hera that the civil I
service In so far as it pertains to these
distant Islands should ba revised. Under
aondltloris as they now exist men leave
and go home Just when they have passed
their period of probation and are getting
to b of th greatest service to th gov

Mr. Harrimbn waa In Laramie Mon
day he la aald to have told an official that
he had long been contemplating oponlng
up the Laramie rail mills and the In
formation given out come, chiefly from
this source.
Mr. Harrlman has long complained of
the expense of buying rails from ilia Steel
trust and th development of Iron moun
tain la the solution of - the problem of
obtaining material with which, to open up
the rail shops at Laramie.
The Information was that with the com
pletion of the Union Pacific line now build
ing from North Tlatte to Bridgeport that
road will open up an Industry at Laramie,
which has long lain dormant, for the new
branch. It Is thought, will reach to the
famous undeveloped Iron fields of Iron
mountain. The ore from that ledge will
be shipped down to the shops at Laramie,
and the milling of rails and castings will
begin once more, after twenty years.
At present the Union Pacific I. making
bolts, fish plates and other small i steel
necessities at Laramie shops, but the Colo
rado Fuel & Iron Co. and .the Steel trust
Is doing most ot the rail work, tor the
reason, as given out by th authorities
when th rail mills were abandoned at
Laramie years ago, that the supply of Iron
waa Insufficient.

CARNIVAL OF SWEET PEAS

Festival.
BOZEMAN, Mont.. Aug. l.-(Speclal.)
Every passenger train that passes through
this city during th day Is met by women of
Foreman with bouquets of sweet peas, In
sufficient number to give every passenger a
small bunch, and these are handed to the
trainmen to distribute through the train
while It stops here. Long tows of sweel
praa bloom In th depot grounds. The pur
pose of all this Is to call attention to Bore
man's sweet pea carnival, which comes
August tZ, and which Is expected to more
than repeat the success of ' last year', oar
nlval, the first and only one ever held in
th country. Those who travel through
Montana on the great, transcontinental
trains are not likely to forget this flower
spot and Its gift of sweet pess to thu
travel worn passengers.
Started by tha Bozeman Civic league a
a step in building up civic pride, the car
nival has helped to make every householder
feel that a plot of grass, well trimmed, and
a flower garden are a necessary part of liv
ing In town. No device could possibly
have been suggested which would have set
everybody to work so disinterestedly for
the sake merely of beautifying the town.
As an Illustration, In the parade of more
than a hundred carriages, beautifully de
corated with flowers, and In tha street,
decorations advertising was practically
eliminated by common censent, though
many of the decorations wer f amished by
business Arms at great expense of time and
labor, and the committee in charge offered
no objection to the advertising.
Last year the population of the city waa
doubled on carnival day. Six thousand
bouquets of sweet peas were handed out to
visitors In the evening from the city library,
This year the attendance promises to bo
larger.

STRIKE INVOLVES RAILROAD
(Continued from First Page.)
extensive business with these giant monop
olies, has had Just that very 'proposition
placed squarely before him. ,The telegraph
ers of the country know Just exactly what
the public ha. had to contend with, and
thsy make the bold assertion at this time
that their cause Is a common one.
"Since this strike began thousands of
patron, of the telegraph right here In
Omaha have heard the .am story from ;
telegraph managers. Th story has been
difTefnt from what It would be if there
waa a strike on on of th big railroads. ,
In fact, only a few people would be af- i
fected by such a condition and they would j
us some other line. Right now the West
ern t'nlon and Postal Telegraph companies
are saying to tha people, possibly not in
so many words, but surely they are using
the argument dally:-' 'The people
have got to come to us " anyway
and so far as thla strike Is concerned, wo
are not particular what the people, or
even the telegraph patrons of th country,
say. We have got their business and they
can't give It to anybody else. While we
will do the best we can, we can make no
promises. If their telegrams are delayed
twenty-four or forty-eight hours, we will
regret It, but we have the money for these
telegrams and we are going to keep It, be
cause they can't get It back. We have the
upper hand on th public and th operators
and we are going to keep It.'
"The telegraph op.-&tor. are prepared to
show by thousands of wltneases In any
court that the above situation Is the actual
condition. Where the public Is laughed at
one - whan It makes complaint of this
condition the telegraph operator. . - are
scoffed at a hundred times If they make
bold ta assert their manhood. If this Con
test ever comes before a court high enough
to make a full Investigation It will dis
close conditions that the people have never
dreamed of. - The telegraph operators are
ready to prove by every evidence that was
ever required by a court that these are
the actual conditions, and the people may
go Into this fight with the strikers with
out fear of placing themselves In antago
nism to a single Interest except the tele
graph monopoly.
"The cause Is a common one, and while
the pubUo may be temporarily Incon
venienced by this strike, the people will
be the actual beneficiaries. We want to
make the broad assertion that whether this
strike I. won or lost It Is the greatest boon
the people of the country have ever had.
It can only be the means of awakening
everybody to what has been permitted to
exist for year, simply because there ap
peared to be no sane remedy. Every per
on with a grievance against the telegraph
has learned to forget It with this parting
exclamation: 'Well, what are you going
to dot They have It their own way,"
'The purpose of this statement i. not to
create a prejudice against persons, but to
call attention simply to the actual condi
tions, of which the people are fully aware,
and are only waiting for an bpportunlty to
overoome.
"We are not even prepared to say an 111
thing .of the officials of the telegraph com
panies, generally speaking. Of course there
are quite a number of them who are ready
to grind u. to the last, ditch to even starve
u. Into submission but they are few. We
believe that 80 per cent ot the superintend
ent, of the country would, In their own
heart., be glad to see the operators win
this contest. They know full well . that It
la to th Interest of themselves and the
people - alike, and that every victory won
by the telegraph operator. 1. an even
greater one for them,, regardless of th
position .they they are forced to take aa
officials of the corporation. The -e is no
wish to tell famllv secrets nor to betray
confidences, but the telegraphers but pre
pared to prove everything they tel. the
people In this statement.
"Th telegraphers do not In any manier
wish to compromise their friends who hsve
placed them In a position to make these
assertions, but they do not feel that they
owe the telegraph companies as corpora
tions an apology for so doing.
"The news of the country at this moment
I. -controlled by . the , Western Union and
Postal, and Is being handled to suit their
fancy. Nobody knowa this better than the
newspaper, who are so unfortunate as to
be unable to protest with any assurance
ot either relief or safety. The newa con
cerning the strike as contained In the tele
graoh reports, for the last forty-eight hours
has had but one side to If and we make
frank to aay that In the future the public
may expect to see but one side of It. We
believe, however, thst It Is evident to the
publto why the telegraph companies are
censoring the new. at thl. time and re
spectfully beg for the Indulgence of the

ILb WMD THAT BLOWS NO GOOD
At Least One Man Is Benefited by tke
Strike.
There have been aome digressions from
the ordinary course of business In Omaha
because of the telegraphers' strike, which
have brought good and bad fortune tp
those concerned. One Omaha, man considers
that the atrlke has benefited him directly
to th extent of $600.
"I had been keeping an eye on a certain
rlalroad stock for a long time," he pays.
"Monday morning It dropped o a figure
at which I considered It a good 'buy.' I
hurried down to the bank and told them to
wire for Jno sharea.
"The clerk took down my order and I
was on pins and needles even at that brief
delay.' Then bn called my attention to the
fact that a atrlke had just been called and
that my message might not reach New
York for a day or so. ,
"Well. I was sure I had lost a lot of
money by not being able to buy that stock
at once. Btlll I didn't want to risk a tele
gram which might get there when the mar
ket had risen a few points. So I told the
bank to let It go. The clerk suggested that
he write. I told him he could If he wanted
to.
"The stock dropped two more points that
day and the following day It dropped an
other point. I hurried to the bank and
found the clrk had written my order and
sent It to New York by mail. I have Just
learned that they got my VO ahares at the
bottom price, which was just three points
lower than I was willing to pay "

traveling salesmen. They were silting In
chairs In the shade of the Paxton hotel. The
men addressed looked at the other In aston
ishment "Yes. I got It straight from Paris this
