STRIKE IMMINENT.
Trainmen Threaten to Tie Up the
Santa Re Unless Their Demands
are Granted.
A Fifty Thousand Dollar Derby 10 BE
Run for This Year at the Worlds
Fair City.

TOPEKA, Kan, April lS.-A sensation
OF considerable magnitude WAS created
here this afternoon when it was noised
about on the streets that a general strike
OF all the trainmen on the Santa Fe sys-
ten was impending and would occur to-
morrow. The slight information obtain
able indicated that the strike would not
probably occur tomorrow, but that the
difficulty was far from a settlement. 1t
was discovered that the Joint committee
appointed last night by five organiza-
tions of trainmen this afternoon called
upon John Player, superintendent of the
machinery, and requested him to inform
them whether it was true that the com
pany had decided to annul as soon as
possible all contracts with the organiza-
tons they represented and take no new
ones. The committee stated they had
been informed that this was the case
and intimated hat unless Player re-
turned a satisfactory answer that all the
trainmen on the system would strike at
noon tomorrow in order that the recog-
nition heretofor granted their organiza-
tions by railroads be continued. Player
said that the company would surely re-
spect all contracts in force with all train
mems organizations. Whether the mer
consider this answer satisfactory it is
difficult to tell as they were very r%eticent
on the subject. The trainmen's
organization will meet again to-
night to receive the reports
of the committee. Whether a strike will
be ordered will depend upon the report
of this committee, Judging from the
meager information at hand it would APP
pear that the strike will probably not
take place tomorrow, but that the diff
Guilty is by no means settled. The trouble
tr)se over the publication of a statement
that the railroad presidents at their re-
cent meeting in Chicago had entered
into an agreement to annul all existing
contracts with the members of labor or
CARNATIONS and to not renew them. The
men were also informed that the fight
upon them was to he begun by the Santa
te, which would receive encouragement
and aid If necessary from other roads to
bring the fight to n successful termina-
ton. The trainmen decided to take the
initiative and ask the mpan directly
whether the report were true, determin-
ing to enforce the continuance of their
recognition as a labor organization by a
strike if necessary. The outcome will be
determined by the committees report.
The trainmen's organization adjourned
their meeting late tonight, but would not
give out a word as to what they intended
to do. There is no reason, however, to
believe that a strike is imminent. Gov. |
Lewelling could not be seen tonight in
regard to the story that he would refuse
state aid to the railway company and
would furnish it to the strikers.

A Deer story.

Last fall Mr.. Walling, whose farm adj
joins the village Of Halliburton, had two
acres and a half of Swcde turnips. OF
these he gathered two acres, putting
them III heaps and covering them with
about six inches of straw. The half acre
was not harvested. Mr.. Walling's inten-
ton was to draw the turnips which were
in heaps as oOn as the first snow came,
but the intention was not carried ont
and the snow covered the heaps and pre-
served the turnips. Last week Mr.. Wal
ling decided to III feeding the
turnips and took a sleigh to the turnip
field, The heaps were all gone. Every
turnip had been eaten by deer. More
than that, the half acre had been care
fully gone over by the herd Of deer, and
every turnip had been grabbed ont of
the ground and eaten, i,0c0 bushels in
all being eaten. The marks of the deer
were seen in every direction, and there
must have been 8 or 10, The field where
the turnips were consumed is not more
than threc-quarters of IA milo from the
village p~ostofiice, goingas the crow flies.

The Board of Trade will Have Great Falls
known at st. Paul.
At the meeting of the board of trade
yesterday the most important decision
reached was n to provide for a float to
represent this city in the great pageant
at st. Paul early in June. At that time
IA great celebration is to take place in
honor of j. j. Hill and the completion of
the Great Northern to the coast. The
details of the float were left to T.. w.

An advertising committee to devise a
method of advertising this city at the
fair was appointed by President Harris,
comprising the well-known gentlemen
Messrs. c. NJ. Webster, A. M. Scott, and
p. IL. Hughes. While the subject of ad-
was under consideration Hon.
Paris Gibson suggested that a display of
photographs at Chicago would probably
do more to make the city known than
any other advertising medium that could
be adopted. Such photographs, descrip-
tive of Australia, arc now on exhibition
in Chicago windows, Mr.. Gibson said,
aud they attract much attention. The
secretary's plan for a pamphlet will be
at the next meeting.

ALCOHOL is one of those strange sub
stances which has the power of produc-
ing apparently opposite results. In
small quantities it stimulates the ac-

it; in small quantities it increases the

destroys the pepsin and arrests diges-
ton; in small quantities it has an ex-
hilarating effect on the nervous sys-
TEN, in large it is narcotic.

"The average human being of the pres

restaurant to a group of intercste d list
eners sis made up of the effort to get
money. When he gets money he buys
clothes to put on his back, food to put
into his stomach, and travels or reads,
or spends his time in making more
money. Upon the food which he puts
into himself depends his appearance,
his intelligence. his happiness, yet,
strange to say he pays less attention
to it, and certainly makes less of a
study of it, than of anything which
concerns him hold gastronomy to be
one of the most noblest sciences whose
conquering is possible to man. The
thoroughly educatdd and careful cook
is worth more than a houseful of doc
tors, for the reason that if he under
stands his business those who avail
themselves of his benefcent services

man who is a cook by profcssion-for
mastery of the cuisine rises to the Dig
nifty of profession-should be always
proud to acknowledge it. There is no
pursuit which demands more industry,
more capacity for intense application,
or more brain. 1t gives ample scope for
the employment of the reasoning facul-

called into action almost daily.

who leans back with sigh of satisfac-
ton at the completion of some work

pleasure of living and less for the sake

was last summer sketching in the gal
lcries of the Louvre in Paris. Being at
work he had of course something the
appearance of being habitue Of the
place, and as such he was several times
addressed by the visitors.
On one occasion he was approached
by couple of ladies', one of whom

he would help her out, but he had

ingly to her companion, and the other
lady said with much briskness:
"Why, of course, you know; the ia
