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

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

curbed by a detachment of soldiers who

charged with responsibility for these
deaths. It is declared that Rlvas and his

Commissioner Ryder was in Omaha Tues

to be Ignoring, In the case of a few women,

"It was what we may call a conciliation

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. .

"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

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

Jesse C. 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

stolen from the oflce of the district clerk
This is a blow to the state, as the record
of the evidence would be almost Invalua-
able In the conduct of the case.
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.

corps of stenographers to Tecumseh, where
witnesses will be examined and as much
of the evidence as possible reduced to

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

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.

I'EltU The ditching on the drainage dis
trict north of town is nearing completion.
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. Only about a mile of
ditch remains to be completed north to the
county line, and as that Is a shallow ditch,
designed only to carry off the water com
ing down from the Bluffs when It rains.
It is expected that the work will be com
pleted In ten days more, unless It freezes
up too solid to permit the continuation of
the work.
