The ROCK ISLAND STRIKE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9-ChIet Ramsey of the
Order OF Railway Ttlegraphers declared
today that the Rock Island operators
strike was on in full force, despite General
Manager ST. Johns denais and counter
statements. The Rock Island railroad is
already blocked with freight trains and
the freight business of the road Is at d
standstill, he said.
General Manager st. John laughs at the
assertion that the road is crippled.

AUGUSTA, Ca. Dec. 9.-It Is rumored
here that the operators on the Georgia
Central and its branches Will be ordered
out at noon tomorrow.
DENVER, Dec 9.-It is rumored tonight
that the switchmen on the Denver and
Rio Grande and the Union Pacific, if
necessary, will strike out of sympathy for
the Rock Island operators. The Rock
Island uses the Union Pacific and Rio
Grande tracks to Denver. Limon and
Colorads Springs respectively, having
contract with the two latter
roads, which calls for the use of their
track If either of these two roads should
refuse to handle the Rock Islands traffic

Rock Island should sustain. The Rock

THE BABIES.

It is an awful fact, but it is true,
that half the babies born into the
world die before they are 3 years
old. What an awful and heart
breaking record. Think of the
suffering entailed upon the poor
little things; think of the broken
hearted parents, and the misery.
There is no necessity of any child
dying of the Group. We have
saved thousands and thousands OF
cases by the use of Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. 1t cuts
the false membrane at once and
relieves the poor little things
from the danger of sutfocstion;
and then there is no poison in it,
so it Will not do them any hurt.
Every druggist keeps it. or at
least ought to do so. Those who
have not got it will order it if you
insist upon ii, and this is what
YOU should do by all means.
Small bottles cost % cents; large

THE KELLEY CURE DID IT.

A gentleman who took the Kelley cure
at Wichita some months since, says:
There is no possible doubt but Il thorough
course Of this wonderful treatment will
completely eradicate from the system all
vestige of alcohol and opium, and leave
the patient utterly Indifferent to the old
stimulanU."
Eight hundred cases have been treated
in the past year by the Keeley institutes
of Kansas. All testify TO the efficdcious
character of the cure, and that it is
very beneficial to the general health. Be-
sides the institute located at 2l5 South
Main. Wichita. the Kelley company have,
also, institutes at North Topeka. Leaven-

edies are, however, administered at no

A QUESTION OF SHAPE

NEW YORK, Dec. GILLIAN Russell's
remark that if she had planked down
S.. 600 she could have been the model of the
big silver statue, Justice, to be see up at
the worlds fair, was talked about from
the Casino even as far as NIblo's. TIL
Miss Russell spoke about the matter,
everybody supposed that Ada Rehan bad
been selected to pose To the artist, X. ii.
Park, simply on account Of her superb
proportions. The light opera star says
that the model was not picked out for art s
sake at all; that it was mercenarv ar
rangement all through, and Cora Tanner
and Marie Tempest fortify Miss RusselPs
statement by saying that they were offered
the same honor, provided they would pay
the price for the privilege. IN the insldI-
Gus message given out to the public by the
commission, no details about the six meas
uremenls wherein Miss Rehan is lacking
were gone into. There is an interesting
story, if Mr.. Park would tell it. But he
won't. This is what he said:
II think that there must he mistake
somew here. All that l had to do was to
secure model AS near the ideal as pOSSi-
BILE, and | selected Miss Rehan from a
purely artistic standpoint. don't think
that under any consideration Miss Russell
could fill the Dill" "
The last sentence is not very gallant to
be sure. At Days theater the manage
ment gave out that the same Lillian was
probably piqued because she is growing SO
stout that she has lost her shape, and to
think of that morning III the court, only
short time ago, when Miss Russell
blushingly confessed to the judge that
nature had dealt too generously with her.
But concerning Lillian's charges about
the money side of the matter, she has
two firm allies in Miss Tanner aud Miss
Tempest. Miss Tanaer, like Miss Reh sn,
is divinely tall and most dIviueiy fair, and
she says that she was offered the chance to
pose if she would give up $1,000.

a RATTLE FOR a STRUMPET


SPOKANE, Wash Dec. 9-The town of
Wenatchee, 100 miles west, WAS last night
in control of mob for about three hours.
A grader named Tom Guilland came to
town in the afternoon, and, after get
ting drunk, commenced to gamble. He
began by shooting craps;" played in luck,
and left the place winner by $40. He
next played poker, and about II o'clock
started for Giuseppe Vaco's faro bank.
with nearly $1,000 in his pockets. He con-
tinued to play recklessly. Finally Gull
land threw all his money (S5,0S0) on the
table in heap and bet on the queen and
ace. Waco took the bet and Guilland
won. Waco paid the bet, but it broke the
bank. Vaco's mistress, woman named
Susette, hearing the news, started to the
gambling room, saying that she was go
ing to the man that had luck. Waco met
her and refused to let her pass. Guilland
pushed him aside, walking off with
Susette.
Waco is a sort of king among the Italians
here, and before Guilland and the woman
had gone block, Waco gave peculiar
whistle, and in "a moment the street was
filed with Italians some of them nut half
dressed, and armed with knives, clubs and
stones The graders gathered in n group,
with Guilland and the woman in the
center, and began TO retreat slowly, firing
as they went. Others Joined them, and
finally they made a stand. The Italians
pre- sed them closely at first, and many
fights occurred. Stones, clubs and bricks
few IN "A regular cloud, those who Were
knocked down being carried to the rear of
the mob. Three graders who had been
stabbed were carried into saloon, and the
woman was spirited away.
Soon twenty Italians charged the graders
from the rear, and those on the other side
closed in at the same time. For moment
il seemed as if the railroaders would be
wiped out. but the hot fire forced the Ital
Ians 10 fall back in confusion. and before
lhey could rally the railroad men were
reinforced. Both parties gradually broke
mp though s6irmishes continued until
dawn, when the participants scattered.
