Mayor Bemis expressed himself forci
bly, AS to the manner in which the army
has been treated by the Council Bluffs
people and the state authorities of Iowa.
The action of the former in refusing food
and shelter he characterized as less than
human, and said that as they had failed

though not in duty bound to
do so, would come to the rescue.
The men, he declared were neither
tramps nor criminals, but simplv
unfortunate fellow-beinRs deserv-
ing of sympathy and assistance. Mayor
Bemis also scored the state authorities
and railroads of Iowa for what he said
was their shameful treatment of the
army. The expense incurred by the
state at the behest of the rail-

tset property from raids by law-abiding

court cf the United States for Mime
sofa and North Dakota, Judge Sanborn
has isoued orders enjoing strikers
and all others from interfering by
threats. force or intimidation, with the
business of the Great Northern or with

large forces of deputy marshals to re-
ceive the orders.
Nothing will be left undone to afford
adequate protection to the company's
employees and its trains will be moved on
its linea.
The company claims that it has the as
suranccs of the men on the different
branches of its service that they are
ready to move trains and discharge their
duties if they. can be protected. 1t is
reported that the interference has been
from outsiders and discharged men.

hundreds of men who want work but has
taken steps to replace the men in its
employ

and honest men would, he said, have fed
the men and carried them to Chicago.
The treatment the men have received in
Iowa, Mayor Bemis concluded, and the
fact that Omaha had already done its
share, should not prevent the people of
this city from doing still more, and pre-
venting any starvation.

Clingh and General Manager Case of the

honkey Versus Bulldog.

The fight was in public place and
in q pit that was surrounded by an
iron grating. There was a big crowd
out to see the fight. Of course, every
body thought the dog would chew up
the monkey. After few minutes,
however, the audience was surprised
at the sagacity displayed by the mon
key. The bulldog would make q rush
ct the monkey, and the latter would
jump aside and allow the build og to
hit his head against the iron graf ings.
This was kept up for twenty minutes
or more, and then the dog began to
get tired. The monkey began to fight.
He would let the dog make rush and
then jump on the dogs back and strike
him several times with the baton. This
was kept up for an hour or more, and
finally the dog fell on the floor COM
pletely exhausted, and the monkey
actually pounded him to death. The
monkey would strike the dog several
blows and then place his ear to the
canine to see if he still breathed.

An Ancient Race.

The Armcnians are one of the most
ancient races in the world. Their
country is mentioned by Xenaphon and
Ezekiel and in the cunciform inscrip-
tions of Babylon and Assyria. All the
nations that surrounded them have
passed away, but they remain, though
their country has been harried with
fire and sword for centuries. The per.
manence of the Armenian race has
been ascribed to the virtue of their
women and the exceptional purity and
stability Of their family life. Even in
their henthen days polygamy was un-
known to them. They have been
Christian nation for more than fifteen
hundred years and have undergone
perpetual persecution for their faith
from the surrounding oriental peoples.

Railroad 1ie UD.

On Wednesday evening, June
9th, the most general railroad
strike in the worlds history was
inaugurated at Chicago. The
strike originated in difference of
opinion between the operatives and
managers of the Pullman Car Co.,
and the cause of tho employees was
taken up by the American Rail-
way Union ordering strike On all
railroad systems usin g the Pullman
cars. The only thro ough road now
running is the Great Northern
which uses Wagner cars. All trains
stand on the track as they were
left, and for lack of railroad engin-
GERS and brakemen the business of
the country is hrough to perfect
stand-still. Deputy z. S. Marshals
in some States are doing what they
can to run the mail trains. All
passenger and freight travel is sus-
pended indefinitely, and the Union
proposes to stay out until the odious
un-American Pullma N Co., is bank
rupted. The strike makes mighty
little difference to Us up here on
Camas Prairie. The only depriva-
tion in this neck of the woods is
our mail and late news.
