ALL CAN GO 70 THE FAIR.
THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME. DON'T
MISS THE GREAT FAIR.


many thousand Pacific Coast resi-
dents from visiting the Worlds
Fair will not interfere in the case
Of the great Midwlnter Fair in San
Francisco. Not only is the dis
&ance very much less, but the rail-
road rates have been reduced so
low that tho cost of making the
trip will have comparatively little
weight against the inclination to
90. There is also the assurance of
hotel, clearinghouse and restaurant
proprietors that no advantage will
be taken of the unusual demand for
accommodations by charging more
than standard rates during the
Fair season.
Who, then, can afford to lose
such an invaluable opportunity.
Excepting always the Worlds
Fair nothing of equal magnitude
and Importance has ever been s. en-
in America. Indeed, we may go
much further without transgressing
the truth. There are plenty OF
competent witnesses ready to testify
that in many respects - chiefly
those of original feature which ap-
peal most warmly to the sentiments
of the western worid-the Califor-
MIA Midwinter International Expo
.sition exceeds in splendid achieve
mrnt and striking effe't similar de
partments in the great Columbian
enterprise.
It is essentially the fruits Of
Pacific Coast pride and enthusiasm.
It comprises, as no other scheme
ever has, the united efforts of Pa
citic Coast industries to show the
world what can be done on this
great western slope. 1t will he
the grandest awakening the Coast
has ever known. and the world, so
far. from being alone interested
spectators, will participate largely
in it. There is probably no nook
in civilization which has not been
lighted to some extent Ivy the glory
and fame Of the Golden West. Yet
now for the first time will the
world be permitted to witness its
greatness in it's entirety-in all its
nnimpaired strength and grandeur.
If this seems like narrow and
provincial view, let the horizon of
our observation be broadened. That
it IS vastly more than state or
district fair. it need only be known
that upward of thirty foreign coun'
tries are represented, and that a
few hours spent viewing their
elaborate exhibits will be almost
equal to a journey around the
world. 1t will give exhibitors
glimpse of the peculiarities and in
dustrial dimensions of forei gn
countries that could not otherwise
be obtained short of extended
travel and hard study.
Iu the brief space permitted for
this subject it will be impossible to
name all the attractions, and give
all the reasons why they should be
seen; but few hard facts in the
form of summary may serve as
tonic to stimulate the desire to see.
The ground occupied is upward of
two hundred acres in Golden Gate
Park. the most beautiful park in
America. Cost of the buildings
over 100000. Area of five main
palaces, 10000 square feet. The
splendid spectacle of these impos-
ing structures is worth crossing the

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 1O.-A mine un-
derlying part of the western portion Of
this city caved in yesterday for distance
of three blocks, effecting property to the
extent of $780, 900. The cave in was caused
by robbing the pillars which support the
roofs of the mines. For some time past
men have been taking out these supports
in the Diamond breaker of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company. Sud
denly, with scarcely moments warning,
a large section of the roof fell, carrying
the upper surface with it. The property
extending from the corner Of Fellows and
Eighth streets sank from one inch to four
feet. Twenty eight houses were wrecked.

THE STRIKE AT OMAHA
A Workman Brutally Beaten and Kicked
by Striking Butchers.


by Striking Butchers
OMAHA, Aug. 1O.-Two hundred more
deputy sheriffs were added to the number
of guards at the packing houses last even
ing. They were armed with buggy spokes
no firearms being allowed The strikers
refused to withdraw their picket line at
the approach of the officers, and, while
avoiding a collision, paid little attention
to the deputies. While the situation is
quite strained, it appears on the surface
to be more quiet than on Wednesday. a
number of men did not show up for work
yesterday, and the force at many houses
was lighter than on any day since the
strike began.
The packers complain that they cannot
get warrant served on any man after
complaints have been made. Last night
as a workman was passing from the pack.
ing house several Of the strikers took af.
ter him shouting "scab" and other vile
names. First one striker would hit the
man and then another. He was knocked
down and kicked. He managed to defend
himself so as to get away. After he was
beaten and chased for two blocks the pO
Rce finally got between the mob and the
man and stopped the assault. Captain
Connell held a revolver in each hand and
continued the fight. The police escorted
the man home. Later he said that he
would continue at work, and that it meant
death to the man who assaulted him while
he was minding his own business

works for lump bid OF 1913 600, but put
in bids for so many cubic yards OF excava-
ton, masonry, etc, and Council doubled
and trebled the amount Of work origin
ally figured upon. IaHl
In this connection Il was also stated
that the original estimate of the cost for
making the reservoir at Davis Run was
between two and three thousand dollars,
but 1t really cost over SIS, 600.
In answer to a question as TO whether he
would put in a pipe at the original con-
tract price and guarantee IL will stand
800 pounds to the square inch, Mr.. Quinn
answered positively, "No, sir"
Finally Mr.. SChalck, one of the counsel
for the borough, took y seat at the seCre-
tary's desk and wrote the following reso-
luton which was subsequently adopted
by Council:
"Mr. Quinn, the contractor, being pres
ent and having offered to relinquish the
furnishing and laying of the 5000 feet Of
pipe between the storage reservoir and the
top of Locust mountain, and to have the
contract altered accordingly" IL was after
considerable discussion, on motion of
Gafligan, seconded by Fiuney,
"Resolved. That the contract between
the Borough of Shenandoah and Messrs.
Quinn and Kerns be altered so as TO omit
therefrom the furnishing and laying Of
said 5000 feet of pipe and the cOmpensa-
ton provided therefore in the contract,
spects as il the said 5000 feet of pipe had
never been contracted, provided that the
rest OF the contract and the remaining
provisions thereof shall remain intact in
all other respects the same as il this
resolution had not been passed and that
this resolution and the agreement of the
contractors thereto shall not in anywise
affect or prejudice the legal rights and
liabilities of the contractors and the
borough in any other respect
After the adoption Of the resolution
Mr., Quinn again spoke, saying, I'm con
sideration of the Council living up to its
contract with me and paying me the
amount due | am willing that Council
shall keep 81 600 to pay one-half for re-
pairing the dam. There is 81, 500 due
Council can retain the 90 per cent. on the
cost of pipe until tests are satisfactory.
That amounts in round numbers, to
$4,000 and will leave $500 due me now.
s. 600 of that want paid to h. ID. Wood
& Co., the pipe manufacturers, and the
| 81, 600 Council can retain as my share
| towards repairing the damaged reservoir.
| If the repairs cost less than $1,000 l viii
expect to be allowed my proporionate
| share of the saving, and il the cost is more
| l will pay my propOrtionate share but
| the $4,000 retained must be deposited in
| one of the banks, subject to the order Of
| Council, but not to be drawn upon for
any other purpose until the pipe is proved
satisfactory. The idea is that Council is
not to use the $1,000 in the meantime as
it may see fit"
On motion of Mr. Gable, Council decided
| that Mr. Quinn shall be notified within
one week to start to repair the Davis Run
dam at his own expense and if he fails to
do it the borough will proceed to make
repairs at his expense.
Mr. Quinn said that after being officially
notified of this action he will consult his
counsel, and will then notify the Council
