OMAHA, March 22.-Now it's strike.
The Union Pacific employees are restive
and noisy and there is an ugly look in
the sky. They are not saying many
words, but the few they use count for q
good deal. Concessions they came for,
and so far they have had none. All the
concedlng has been done by the men.
Not point has been given in by the
company, and wherever there was .
difference of opinion it still exists, un-
less the men have receded from their
position. This has had = very depress-
ing effect upon them. The men have
almost reached the conclusion that the
conference is q useless waste Of time.
This evening it was quietly announced
that unless some very substantial con-
cessions were made from the Dundy
schedule the receivers of the Union Pa.
ciic would have a strike on their hands.
The men have determined to drop the
conference and will now allow the re-
ceivere to settle for themselves the
point. If they decide to 90 before

in and out of court.
There was secret meeting Of the men
last night, at which Eugene V. Deba
and others spoke in favor of discon-
tinuing what they all called farce. Mr..
Debs went over the present situation
and liksned it to the Northern Pacific
affair, which ended at last by forcing the
men to yield to just what the company's
receivers wanted.
Mr.. Debs suggested that the delegates
empower their various chairmen to get
together into q committee of action and
draft an agreement which would give
them what they thought would be their
dues, this to be submitted to Mr.. CLARK
in the event that Judge Caldwell was
unable TO give what was Asked He was
loudly applauded.
In the next breath he suggested that
the only other course open to the men,
that OF striking, in the event that this
demand was not acceded TO, be taken.
The applause continued, and Mr. Deba'

New Process OF Gas Making.

AS the result probably of sharp com.
petition in one form and another, gas
making and consumption have under
gone many improvements in recent
years, indeed, at least one gas expert
has claimed that the gas art has made
greater advantages than the electric
lighting art in the same period. OF
course, the great objection remains
that there is a naked flame using up a
certain proportion of the necessary con-
stituents Of healthy atmosphere; but
the vast majority of people are still
very Indifferent to this, provided their
illuminant is cheap A new process
Is said to be creating a sensation in
lighting circles, and its origin is very
curious. In prosecuting work for the
electrolytic reduction of refractory OK
ides to yield aluminium, Mr.. T. L. Will
son found that large quantities Of cal
cium carbide were producible, from
which acetylene is readily obtained.
Now, acetylene has remarkable illuni.
mating power, but no method has hith-
er to been known for it's cheap produc-
ticn. 1t is stated that a burner taking
l IA cubic feet Of acetylene per hour
affords beautiful clear, white light
fully equal to fifty candle power, while
the cost puts it on more than parity
with that of existing methods 1t will
be seen that there is here the promise
of much cheaper lighting of a better
kind. The only objection to the new
gas of any Importance noted thus far
has been a tendency to smoke a little
when turned down low, but this is
easily cured, and in oil lamps has been
endured for centuries.

Incandescent Lamp Improvement.

One Of the greatest fields Of oppor-
tunity to-day in electrical invention is
the Improvement Of the incandescent
lamp. In many respects it has become
standard product, but even now the
best factories may lose a batch of 5000
Of a sudden through some unsuspected
flaw or trouble. 1t is true that twelve
or fifteen to the horse power is now
common, instead of eight or ten, as a
few years ago, put there has been little
other change except steady reduction
in price. A natural and inevitable
tendency keeps raising the pressure Of
electrical currents for all classes Of
work, but the incandescent lamp is
still wanted that will successfully stand
up under the greater strain, and hence
the high efficiency of dynamos and en-
gines is steadily nullifed. The lamp
that burns brightly at ITO volts is FAM
iliar enough, but the desideratum is a
lamp that will burn and live at 22O
or 500 volts, and the man who pro-
duces the filament for that can win
fame equal to Edison. In the mean.
time, despairing of such unlikely
achievement, some advanced workers,
like Tesla, using high potential eur.
rents, are experimenting with lamps
that have incandescent buttons, or
bars, and with lamps that glow with
pure phosphorescent CLEAN. These lat.
ter are said to be wonderfully econom-
lcal of current when very small, but
to fall off heavily in efficiency as they
increase in size. An abundant reward
awaits genius here, and electricians
watching the continued improvements
in gas await anxiously the production
of the lamp which shall make their
light not only the best, as it is now,
but the cheapest.

where counterfeitine Enil..

There are several interesting declara-
hons in the annual report of William
p. Hazen. Chief of the United States
Secret Service. He says that it has be-
come an easy matter, owing to the de-
velopment of photo-litography, to make
a faithful imitation of the designs Of
our paper money. The counterfeiter,
however, has never been able to dis
cover how the money used in the manu-
facture of our money Is made. 1t has
been q well-guarded secret The al.
teration Of notes is acrime which Is in.
creasing, and more arrests were made
for this offense last year than In any
previous year. Counterfeiting coin is
also on the increase, but none of the
counterfeits Of silver are very decep-
tive or dangerous. Strange to say.
there Is no law furnishing the passing
Of mutilated, lightened or debased
coins. and the chief therefore recon-
mends such an enactment. -Philadel-

Hidden Money Brought Out.

Twenty years ago Arch Price died
near this city, aged eighty-fve years,
and it was believed he left his son, Ed
mund, thousands, but no one was the
wiser until to-day, when the son, now
sixty-nine years old, brought to bank
in this city large quantity of gold,
also lot of silver, principally Mexican
dollars and fve-franc pieces, all Of
which has been buried since long be-
fore the war. The son has always nv-
ed the life Of a bachelor and but a
short time ago took it into his head to
marry. His girl went back on him,
and he fell in love with another, and
Is now getting ready for the occasion,
which has caused him to bring out
some of his hidden money. He has
much more hid, but will not say where,
nor will he bring it out until after the
marriage. He has a valuable farm in

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH,
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand I'm Hand.

Concentrated thought continued In, robs
the stomach Of necessary blood, and this 10
also true of hard physical labor.
When ive horsepower engine Ii made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
Office will bolt" his food In a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be In a
fre under boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do It's work without the proper
stimulus which 1t gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break because they do not get the
nourishnient they require from the blood,
finally the ill-uaed brain Is mofbidly wide
awake when the oSerworked man at
tempts to find rest In bed.
The application Of comfion sense In the
treatment OF the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve q bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly They need only be taken
for short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfuIness or torpor, OF
the liver; then the Medical Discovery" "
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in-
crease the blood and enrich It. It has
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deade1led, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cnrs

Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

scarcity Of Pencil wood.

'vrhe day is not far distant" remark.
ed a Florida gentleman not long since,
when talking with reporter, "when
the term cedar pencil will become
quite misnomer At the present
time the average annual consumption
of lead pencils is at the rate of about
four for every man, woman and child
in the country. During the last ten
years the quantity of cedar which has
been cut in our state to supply the de-
tliarid Of the American and German
buncil makers has been enormous, the
product of more than 1000 acres Of
ground being consumed every year.
The cedar of the state will not hold out
many years longer against demands
of this kind, and already experiments
are being tried with other wood. Very
cheap pencils are generally made of
poplar which answers fairly well, but
which will never be SO valuable for the
purpose as the old-fashioned and long
tried cedar OF course, Florida mas not
n monopoly on the supply OF cedar
wood, but In adjoining states, where
some Is to be found, the work of des-
truction has been going on quite as
fast as in our little commonwealth, and
I doubt; very much whether any of our
children will use pencils made out or
the most durable and most easily pol
ished and trimmed wood we know Of
at tho present time, ,"-Exchange

Cleaning Pots and Pans.

A woman naturally hates to clean up
a bread or cake bowl after the dough
has got hard. They should be cleaned
as soon as used, but if necessary to
leave them for time, run the tray or
bowl full of cold water and let it
stand so. When you get ready to clean
it the dough will be in the bottom of
the utensil as a general thing, and you
will only have to rinse and dry it. The
same is true of kettles and skillets.
do not approve of setting any utensils
aside when the dishes are washed,
for If you keep an oyster shell with a
thick smooth edge at hand you can
clean the roughness out of anything
in half moment, but If you don't
want to do 1t just then you will find
that an iron pot in which potatoes
have been burned to the bottom, or a
skillet in which meat or gravy has sim
mered to crust, will be easy enough
to clean, after standing an hour or two
filled with cold water.-Washington

story of international Interesi

"A StOEy OI AnteFmar1Omal interest
In the Seychelles islands, northwest
OF Madagascar, there was lately a GU
rious monument consisting of square
of granite with turtle, some f1eurs-de-
lys, and the word Seychelles carved
upon it, which the French creoles call
ed the pierre de possession" Its ORR
gin is unknown, but it is supposed to
have been a mark of occupation set up
by the French before they were driven
out by the English, who now own the
islands. A short time ago the monu-
ment disappeared, and on investiga-
ton it was found that it had been car
ried off to France by the inspector
general of the French troops in NADIA
gascar, who had visited the Seychelles
Archipelago and who intended to give
the stone to the Cluny Museum. The
British officials telegraphed to have
it returned and it is now on it's way
back. The British residents in the is
lands look on the incident as hint
that France has notf orgotten that she
once owned the archipelago, and that
she may try to get it back in the course
Of her Madagascar enterprise. Maize,
the capital, is the nearest telegraph sta
ton to the French posts of Diego Sua-
rez the Nossi-Be in Madagascar and is
to be. now the headquarters of the
squadron Of the British fleet in the In

CHAPTER ".
A Shnrn LisfRner.

1t was in July, 1926, and nearly twen-
H years after Arnold Lindsay had so
unjustly perished on the scatfold, that
smart and dashing young man, a
traveller for a London firm, arrived at
Bath. on his usual business visit to his
customers there.
And this gentleman went, not to the
Commercial House." but to private
hotel, of which P6latiye OF his own
was the proprietor.
On the first morning after his arrival,
when rising from bed, he saw lying in
corner of his room letter, which,
after awhile he took up, believing it
must be one of his own, and that 1t
had dropped from his pocket on the
previous night.
The letter had been lying open on the
carpet, and as Noel harrington stopped
to pick it up, he saw in a moment that
it was not his property, for his eye had
fallen on name written therein which
had caused him to start and to clutch
eagerly at the paper.
Having read through it hastily, and
with some agitation, he sought his rela-
tive, the master Of the hotel, and learn
ed that he had succeeded in the occupa-
ton of that room lady who had re.
manned at the house something more
than q week, and had departed two
days before, on her way towards Lon
don.
Could his relative at all describe that
lady? Darlington asked.
So-he had seen but very little of her
as was indeed the case with most OF
the people who stayed at his house.
Inquiries were made of the servants
at the hotel, and they could tell but
little concerning the lady, who had
| brought with her her own people to
attend upon her.
They could soy nothing about hei
/ age or looks, for no one there had seen
| her, except on her arrival and depar
ture, and on both those occasions her
face had been concealed behind hel
/ veil

The population of Germany is 81, ,5O0,-
600 and it has increased by 11,50O,OO
since 1870. The figures are certainly
very striking. 1t must be remembered
of course, that the odd 100000 ought
to be deducted as representing the
population Of Elsass-L Lothringen. But
even, taking this in account, the fact
remains that whereas Germany, with
population to-day of 81, 500, 900 against
Frances 3S,343, 1872 has put 100000
on her population In twenty-four years,
her neighbor In the same period is more
than 100000 souls to the good. The
figures are even more suggestive than
they look at first sight, when 1t is borne
In mind that while only $500 French
men emigrated In 1892 (the latest year
for which statistics are available), as
many as 116,339 Germans left the
fatherland to settle in foreign lands.
Moreover against mere 100000 Of for
eigners in the German empire there are
1,130,000 scattered through France. All
Of which bears out completely what the
Westminster" has said again and again
namely, that IL by any chance our
heighbors did take to colonizing In Tu-
mis-, Madagascar and Tonquin, the
places which they left vacant In France
would have to be filled UP by Relgians,

This Beats Walking.

The ruse of Rabelais, who, finding
himself penniless at Amiens and wish
ing to go to Paris, had himself arrested
and travelled there as a suspect at the
kings expense, has been outdone. A
stranded theatrical company, wishing
to go from Dayton to Cleveland, caus-
ed the arrest of one of its members on
a charge Of opening aletter belonging
to another member. The accused was
taken before the United States Com
missioner at Cleveland, where the 9TH

poened as witnesses. They, Of course,
secured his acquittal, and also their
fees, amounting to $6.25 a piece. 1t

commissioner is willing to bet that they
can't play it on him again.-Cincinnatt

THE LAUNDRY BUSINESS.

Outside the Household.
That there IL money and profit in the
laundry business is apparent from the
large number OF people engaged In
washing other peoples linen. There
must be many thousands of dollars In
vested In wash-tubs, mangles, smooth
Ing irons, and the like appliances. And
every few days some strange individual
undertakes or establishes a new laundry
and, as a rule, very few of these laun-
dries discontinue business. Hard times
may come and hard times may 60, but
people have to wash II they expect to
be respectable. Cleanliness and crime
are not synonymous terms. Where the
one fiourishes the other dies, as q gem
eral thing, and this may be the reason
why there are fresh demands daily for
laundries. Javelle water, bleaching
powders, and the various devices for
whitening the clothes may threaten to
destroy the income of the citizen who
undertakes to send his clothing for
the wash outside his own home. but,
nevertheless, the iaundryman does not
appear to grow unhappy, nor does he
try to relieve matters by hanging him
self from rafter near his own wash

were at last Mondays wash The latest
rivals to the Acknowledged Celestials on
the heights are an elderly man and

customers and return their wash with
