AT work AGAIN.
The Omaha Strikers Weaken and Go
to Work,

to Work.
About all the employees of the
smelling works and great many laborers
besides gathered ut tho gates of the works
At $50 o'clock Monday morning The
crowd, which was estimated at upwards
Of one thousand, stretched back from the
smelter fence to the Douglas street bridge,
and beyond.
James Bucon, president OF the temper
ary organization, urged the men to stand
out for eight hours, but he was hopelessly
in the minority. The men working in the
refining "side shops" and those who labor
over on the river bank did not want an
eightrhour day and said so emphatically
The cupola and furnace. men and the pot
haulers, tho only ones who had said they
wanted an eight.hour day, had made no
Roadway toward settling the question OF
wages for the short shifts, and it was
pretty evident that tho pay would be con
siderably less than that for long shift.
They had grown wider apart instead of
coming nearer together at the meeting
Saturday night. The sentiment OF the
majority was to return to work now, and
If those who wanted an eight hour day
could arrange for II In time they might do
so later.
President Barton and Secretary Nash
arrived ut the works about o'clock and
Mr.. Barton, seeing all the men present,
made brief talk. He said tho company
would withdraw all propositions it had
made, including that TO prohibit Bacon
from entering its employment, and II the
mon wanted to go back to their old places
they could do so us fast us places could DO
made for them. AT the earnest solicita.
tion Of Father Williams hc had agreed to
take back Bacon, but Bacon must come
back as an individual, like any other man.
This speech was interpreted In bohemian
TO such Of the men IS did not understand
English and was repeated to the crowd
under the bridge. The men accepted the
Terms by walking up and asking for their
old places.
Several OF the fires were started up and
about one-fourth OF the tall chimneys were
soon sending up clouds OF smoke, steam or
sulphur fumes. Men were set about
cleaning up the yards, getting in coal and
doing what was necessary to start up
a step at time. The blast furnaces will
be the last to be started. Bacon's place
was at one OF these and consequently he
and the others OF the blast furnace men
are among the 4So whose turn has not yet
come.

Forged Opium Labels.

Last Saturday revenue officers seized
IN San Francisco 1000 forged labels,

DEATH OF MRS. POLK.
Wife Of the Tenth President Passes
Quietly Away at Her Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 14.-Sur-
rounded by few loving friends and rela.
tives, Mrs. James X. Polk, relict Of the
tenth president Of the United States, de-
parted this life at 1850 O'Clock this morn
Ing, peacefully and quietly, In full posses
sion Of her mental faculties.
Mrs. Polk hrs been in perfect health un-
til last Wednesday evening, when, on re.
turning from u short drive, she was taken
suddenly Ill, from which she never
rallied. Had she lived until September 4
next she would have been eighteen years
beyond the allotted time Of three score and
ton. Tho cause Of her death was simply
exhaustion resulting from old age.
Tho bells throughout the city are
nourafuliy tolling, and syn ,athy and re-
gret are heard from the r.asses Of people
as they gaze upon the bulletin announcing
tho demise of this honorod and beloved
lady, who spent her years among the poo
pic she loved SO well, and who respected
her as one Of the noblest Of her sex.
Mrs. Polk was stricken down Wednes-
day evening after returning from a drive.
She suffered but little pain during her
brief illness. She slept somo last night.
In her waking moments she conversed in
diligently with the members of her
family.
Mrs. Polk was considering her sp-
preaching end, and only few moments
before 1t came she called upon her family
to surround her, and placing her hand up
on the head of each member In succession
gave them her blessing,
One Of the physicians who attended
Mrs. Polk said he had never known a
grander character At o o'clock this
morning he announced to her that her end
was very noar. "Yes," she quietly re-
piled, az know i'll am ready for it, and
have been all my life ready to obey the
summons OF my Master"
She then at length attested her faith in
the Christian religion and tho great peace
Of mind 1t had always given her.
A large number OF kilograms Of condol-
ence were received to day from prom inent
people in all parts Of the country, and the
flag on the State capitol was placed at
half-m The funeral will take place
Sunday morning, the remains being plac-
ed in the vault beside those Of her distin-
guished husband.

sixty Years in siberia.

A Napoleonic veteran has lately re-
turned to st. Petersburg from Siberia.
This old gentleman, who is Pole by
birth and a native of wilma, is named
Amitsetzky, and has attained the age
Of one hundred and three. He was Ma
poleon LIS adjutant, took part in his
world-famed expedition to Russia, and
was decorated by the emperor with the
Legion of Honor at the battle of Wa
gram. He was taken prisoner at Ber-
esina, and, receiving pardon from the
Czar, remained for time in the Rus
sian service. But, for having taken
part in the Polish rising of 1882, he was
condemned to twenty years imprison-
ment in the mines of Siberia. On the
termination Of his sentence he was free
to quit Siberia, but he has been forty
years in taking advantage OF his per-
mission.

cELLulosE as A7Moa.
Use Made OF 1t in the Construction of Ma
val Vessels.

val Vessels.
In foreign navies several ships have
already been supplied with cellulose
for the purpose in question. The
tests have not becn entirely successful.
Chief Contractor Reed OF the English
navy who has tnadc substances for fill-
ing cofferdarls his special study, con-
tends that wcodite, an English article,
and not cellulosc, is the ideal material.
The only substance made in this coun-
try which at all resembles ccllulose is
made from cedar bush
Cellulose, says the New York Sun, is
made of cocoanut by Torrllon Il Co.
at Chamnlicrcs, in France. 1t contains
meal and fiber The fiber has the
natural color of the cocoanut and the
strength of horse hair The length
varies from eight to thirty ccntimeters
The meal, which is the celluose proper,
is also of the peculiar brown color OF
cocoanuts, and is in fine grains. The
specific gravity of the fiber and the meal
in loose masses is sixty-fvc kilograms
per cubic meter; when compressed, one
hundred and twenty-five kilograms
Cellulose absorbs water and by its
swelling provides the safest possible
obstruction. On account of it's low
specific gravity, less than that of cork,
it is valuable for life belts, and may be
used in large quantities to keep a seri-
ously damaged ship afloat. Cellulose
compressed and packed in cofferdam Of
ship to form leak belt does not emit
any unpleasant odor and does not decay
for two or three years. When pene-
trated by projectile it is not ignited
and does not give off any disagreeable
smoke, possessing, in this respect, a
great advantage over rubber arrnor. II
dry. loose cellulose be ignited it gives
out white smoke Combustion in eel
lulose can be controlled by COMPRISING
the substance Vixen compressed it is
difficult to ignite. and If damp it cannot
be ignitcd.
The fiber is loosely spread on table
seven feet square and in q layer about
two or three millimeters thick This
forms a nest for the meal, which Is
smoothed off by hand to thickness OF
four or five centimeters. Rectangular
blocks fifteen to twenty centimeters
w tScil WIG
are laid off by hand and the compartr
ments are then packed with these
| blocks. Boards with leaden weights
are laid on top of the blocks and man,
by his weight on the boards congresses
the cellulose beneath This process is
repeated on every fourth or fifth layer,
until the thickness of the layers is as
| great as desired.

A Little Lawyer Who Went an Athlete
One Bottcr.
A Mr. Simonson, of Bay City. Mich,
is legal luminary from the northern
part of the state, who is bunch of
nerves done up in small package, but
there is perceptiblc admixture of
dynamite in his makeup and he's for
midable opponent no matter who Is
placed against him He is full of sur
prises and is very liable to turn the guns
Of an opposing lawyer against that un-
fortunate individual
A story is told illustrative Of this and
Is worth repeating. Simonson went be-
fore a country Justice to try one side of
a red-hot line fence fight, says the De-
troit Free Press. Pitted against him
was big, raw-boned, broad-chested,
double-fsted sprig of the law, who was
better adapted to building fences than
constituting any law regarding them. He
mistook noise and oratorical gymnas-
tics for wisdom and learning In the
physical exertion of addressing the
Judge he came out of his coat, then dis
pensed with his vest. later tore off his
collar, threw his necktie behind him,
opened his shirt that his throat might
have full play, rolled up his sleeves,
pounded the table all over the room, per
spired like a cupola tender in molding
room, roared himself hoarse and at last
sank back in an apparent state of total
collapse.
Simonson arose with all the dignity
that little man can assume, threw of
his coat, vest, collar, cuffs, necktie and
suspenders, rolled up his pants and shirt
sleeves, spat on his hands, respectfully
said:
"Your honor" let out a war whoop,
turned handspring and sat down. A
minutes silence enabled the bucolic as
sembly to catch on, shout of laughter.
in which the court led the chorus, made
everything jingle. the big attorney
sawed the air in vain effort to be
heard. Simonson deliberately made his
toilet and when nature had exhausted
itself in laughing the jury gave Simon.
