CARACtTS, Venezuela, Monday; Deo. 14. Via Wlllemstad, Curacoa, Dec. IS. The people of Carascua arose today against President Castro. An Infuriated mob, un hindered by the police, swept through the city wrecking the property of hi henchmen and his closest friends., The people rounded up all the statu aad pictures of President Castro from the clubs and other semi public buildings and burned them with rejoicing on the plasa Bolivar.' Costro's rule In Venesuela probably Is ended. In spite of Holland's warlike demon. s (.rations on the coast,-there have been no demonstrations .against the Netherlands; they 'all have been directed against Presi dent Castro and Acting-President Gomes. Further dangerous demonstrations are anticipated. No official act deposing Castro from the presidency of Venesuela has yet been taken, but such a step Is expected any moment. An enormous crowd of the Inhab itants of the capital, swelled by people from the outlying country, gathered in the streets soon after daybreak. The people began marching up and down the main thoroughfares, and It was easy to see that their Ill-temper would soon result in vio lence. The police stood by and made no attempt whatever to restrain the mob, Lottery Balldlna- Wrecked. The first building to attacked and looted was that of the lottery monopoly. The offices of the state enterprise that has enriched Itself at the expense of the people was rnnsacited and pillaged. Furniture was broken and thrown Into the streets and thousands of lottery tickets destroyed. The crowd then moved to the print office of CI Constitution, the organ of President Castro, of which Qumersldo Rlvas Is editor, and pillaged It completely. A steam laun cry belonging to Senator Rlvas was wrecked. , Tlio crowd then turned Its attention to several drug stores belonging to Senor Thlelen, a son-in-law of General Tello Mon doxa. and turned them Inside out. General Mendoxa was at one time minister of finance and publlo credit under Castro. He was also the president's private secretary for several year and has been regarded as one of his stanchest supporters. Ha Is universally hated by the enemies of Castro, . and his unpopularity and his close connec tlon with the president accounted for th anger of the-populace against the property Of his son-in-law. . The statues and picture, of President Taatro were made Into a huge bonfire on Hie Plasa I'ollvar. The crowd cheered as she flames completed the' destruction of ' Ihese effigies of the dictator.

It lacked leadership and paused. In default of other mob quieted down and then dispersed.' The attack yesterday on the offices of El Constltuclonal, when tne crowd was curbed by a detachment of soldiers who fired Into the demonstrants, resulted In several fatalities. A criminal action has been begun against FJdltor Rlvas and other employes of the paper, In which they are charged with responsibility for these deaths. It is declared that Rlvas and his men fired first on the people, making use of revolvers. El Constltuclonal has suspended publication and Caracas Is prac tically without a newspaper. The funeral of Mariano Rojas, one of the men killed in tha fighting of yesterday. baa been fixed for tomorrow. A vast crowd will turn out and further disorders and rioting are expected.

LINCOLN. Dec. 18. (Special.) Labor Commissioner Ryder was in Omaha Tues day to have a session with managers of de partment stores, some of whom were said to be Ignoring, In the case of a few women, the ten-hour law as applied to female labor In Nebraska. "It was what we may call a conciliation conference," said the commissioner. "Call ing the managers of the big concerns Into the offices of Count Attorney English, they were Informed that complaints, more or less definite, had been made. Then came explanations of conditions, principal among which was an admission that vol untary agreements had been entered Into between girls and their employers by which the girls were released for several hours, perhaps, on certain days, and made up the time on Saturday. "We quoted the decision of the supreme court recently written by Justice Brewer in an Oregon cases, where It was held that no employe Is competent to make any con- tract or arrangement for work or hours In conflict with state laws. The arrange' ment heretofore operating In some of the stores was held by Mr. English and my self to be unlawful, and It was also pointed out that whern the law Is strictly com plied with no dissatisfaction exists. . Slllek May et Pardoa. "The final result was that those man agers In whose stores the rules have not been definite and certain agreed Jhat women employes hereafter will not be allowed to work over ten hours. The word 'must will govern the matter. , We have had complaints of others than department stores on this matter of over working female employes as to length of hours, but these have been easily straight ened out. After all. It Is the public that la to blame, even more than store manag ers, and1 It Is the public, largely the work- Ingman part of It, that makes Saturday night a hell on earth for tired clerks. If the stores were open until midnight Satur day some people would be In them, but I cannot suggest a way out, except by a general change of pay day and the aboll- aStur- Liacota Office Omihi Dee 518 Little Buildinrf Auto Phene 7417.

Slllek of Omaha, who walks the streets In constant fear that he will be returned to the penitentiary to servo out an unexpired term Imposed upon him In 192, will shortly have Iris suspense ended. His application for a pardon has been heard by Governor Sheldon and Slllek has won first round. Deputy Attorney Grant Martin today rec ommended that the pardon be granted. Slllek's story is an unusual one. When 19 years old he was convicted of stealing some flour, which was recovered, how ever, by the owners. Judge Baxter, then oh the district bench, gave him one year, the minimum sentence under the law. After serving eight months and eleven days Sll lek had a fight with some one at the prison and other convicts told him that it would cost him his good time. He was a trusty then and escaped. He Joined the army and served three years and eight months, having now two discharges after honorable service. One, year he spent with CHAMBERLAIN RECORDS MISSING the army in the Philippines. Upon his second discharge Slllek went The Yellow Peril. Jaundice malaria biliousness, vanishes when Dr. King's Now Life Pills are taken. Guaranteed. 25c For sale by Beaton Drug Co.

Following the theft 'from the sheriffs office a few weeks ago of many of the books and records of the banking house, which were to be used as evidence, the loss of the transcript has caused a de cided sensation. It was In the possession of the district clerk Saturday afternoon but sine then It ha not .been seen by anyone connected with the office. When County Attorney J. C. Moore went to the office Tuesday afternoon to get It, It could not be found. A close search was made, but no clue as to where it had gone could be found. County Attorney Moore at one ser.t a corps of stenographers to Tecumseh, where witnesses will be examined and as much of the evidence as possible reduced to writing. Some of the stenographers worked all night last night. The Jury has practically been completed and County Attorney Moore will go on with the case In spite of the loss of the transcript. Evidence probably will be In troduced tomorrow. This Is the second trial of the case. Chamberlain was con victed at the first trial and sentenced to five years In the penitentiary.

The governor has the case under advisement. Report on Omaha Batcher Shops. J. E. Vogel and Mrs. Harriet MacMur- phy, pure food inspectors, have made a report on the condition of Omaha and South Omaha meat shops, which show the Omaha shops are on the whole cleaner than Lincoln shop Inspected a few day ago. The South Omaha shops, it Is said. are in better condition than they were when last Inspected. The principal com plaint is against dirty meat hooks, dirty beams, unsanitary back rooms and foul basements. In some of the places It is said chickens are picked and scalded side by side with hamburger sausage blocks. The reports refer to thirteen shops In Omaha which are declared to be In an unsanitary condition. The report says some of the proprietors seemed -to want to comply with the law after they found out what It was, but It says little evidence was found that patrons looked over the shops or demanded cleanliness.

The channel has been cut to both Buck creek and Duck creek, and both streams have been turned Into It. As Camp creek was turned Into the north ditch during tlio summer, this now drains away all the water which flowed Into the swamp, and that sink will soon be dry.
