STOCK YARDS MEN RESTLESS.
They Object to the Withholding OF
Part of Their Wages.

CHICAGO, Jan. Ga spirit of unrest has
again broken out among the stock yards
employees, and two meetings were held
yesterday by the coopers and butchers, the
result of which may be an organized effort
to break by legal process the contracts
which packing house men were compelled
to sign afCer the strike. By the terms
of the contracts the men are obliged
to deposit certain percentage of their pay
with their employers to be forfeited unless
two weeks notice of quitting work is given.
At meetings yesterday it was practically
decided to bring test suits against the pack
ers under the state law, which, it is claimed,
will in any event put the costs Of the litiga-
ton upon the employers.

A Cat Tran

Over in a certain west side neigh
borhood the residents have been great
ly annoyed by horde of bowling cats,
and as poison, bootjacks, soap dishes
and other bric-a-brac have proved un-
availing in attempts to arrest the
plague, the people have been at loss
what to do. Finally an inventive
young man arranged trap which has
proved highly effective in some cases.
He first spent some time in fixing up
an artistic wire moose, and this he ar
ranged over pulley in the shed just
back of his house.
1t was so arranged that cat pok-
ing his head through the moose would
spring the trap, and a ten pound dumb
bell on the other end of the wire would
descend and jerk the offending feline
up toward the roof. In a day or 50
the remains of the animal would be re-
moved. At first it was difficult to get
the truant cats to poke their heads
through the deadly moose, but a lady
who lived next door, and was in sym
pathy with the movement, furnished
little catnip, and this was sprinkled
about the trap. 1t was great bait, and
already eight cats have climbed the
golden stair via the deadly wire route.

man is withheld out of respect for the

The death of Adam Forepaueh will
recall the frequency with which this
city has supplied illustrations of the
curious adaptation of surnames to bust
ness occupations. The explanation
usually found for such fitness is that
9 great many names were originally
derived from occupations, and the
number of such names is so great that
after all it is not remarkable that some
modern Smith should return to the &C.
cupation of the founder of his family.
But that the bearer of the name
Forepaugh and the owner of q me-
nagerie should be combined in the
same person cannot be explained in
this way. Nor will it account for the
equally striking adaptation of the
name to the profession of that famous
