ERRING CLERKS.
Miss Leary and CaIIundan
Differ.
The Lady Talks About Horsewhips,
but the Detective Laughs and
Talks Some More.

1t was hard to get into VIII & Finck's
store yesterday without being mistaken
for a man looking for job. Two thou
sand was the figure Secretary Litzus put
II, referring to the number of applicants
who called upon him to try their honesty
in the places of the clerks discharged. Up
to date eleven clerks have been released
from duty. and it is probable half dozen
more will 90 before the management get
through their work
A meeting was to have been held yester-
day of the management to decide upon the
question of prosecuting the offenders.
w. Finck is in favor of such a course.
but the others do not like to push the case
against the saleswomen.
Miss Leary Indignantly denies that she
has been guilty of stealing or anything ap-
preaching to it, and says she never con-
fessed TO Captain Callundan. Moreover,
Miss Leary has been practicing of late.
and lnsinuates that she may visit Captain
Callundan'S sanctuE with a blaeksnake
whip.
On the other hand. the handsome de-
tective says Miss Leary was worse than
any of The others. 81 am sorry for Miss
White" be said yesterday, because | am
convinced she was led into it by the 9TH
very honest. Ii was not until she was put
down among the clerks that she lapsed
into bad ways.
But Miss Leary we caught no less than
elght times, and We are not at all put out
with her denials or threats. She says she
came down to this office TO face her ac-
cusers In the afternoon. She did come
down here, but it was to beg and pray US
not TO let her father know"
Comment was very general in the big
stores and everywhere yesterday, and
there was universal Overhauing of
BOOKS In many places. The places Of the
discharged clerks were soon filled, and
signs were hung uD reading, 'All vacan-
cieS nlled"; but this hardly stopped the
stream OF seekers after job.
Secretary Litzius said that the stealing
was made possible by the cODniVance of
the f1oOrwalkeT.
''If We had had an honest foorwalker II
never could have happened" said be,
but you must trust some one, and who
should II be but the head men? | don't
think our loss has been as much as stated.
but it is impossible to tell what the aggre
gate is. 1t came like thunderclap TO us.
for We trusted all these people. We shall
meet on Monday and take some action as
regards those clerks against whom we
have proof There is not the slightest
doubt about their guilt"
Cressy, the clerk, was down at the de-
tectlve headquarters yesterday seeing If
he could get permission to leave town. lie
wants to go away, but received little en-
cOuragement in that project. 1t is under
stood that all the discharged clerks are
Swallowed pending the result of the con-
ference OF the managers. If any one al
tempts to leave town be will be at once
arrested Captain Callundan would NOT
admit that they were being watched. bnt
when asked about ii remarked smilingly.

leave town"

UP FROM PANAMA.
The Clyde lowed Here by
the COIima.
Oracle Plaisted Back From the Orient
on the China-A New Captain
for the California.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
steamer Colima arrived yesterday morn
ing. thirty days from Panama. with the
old steamer Clyde in tow. The Clyde was
used by the company as storeship at
Panama and was brought to port for re-
pairs aud general refittins.
The Colima made a special trip with her
tow, but stopped at several way ports
notwithstanding. She brought provisions
from Panama for The United States
steamer Bennington, which was then at
La Libertad, the date of the Colima's az
rival off that town being July 90
The Clyde lowed we'll until Cape st.
Lucas was passed, and then the weather
made it difficult for the Colima TO make
any Roadway. 1t got very rough north OF
the cape, but the Colima's tow line held
well and no accident occurred.
The Clyde is. or rather was. barken-
tine-rigged screw steamer, built at Chester,
Pa, in 1870.
Oracle Plaisted has returned to San
Francisco, theater-goers will be glad to
learn. She came in on the China yester-
day after a three months absence in the
Orient.
The trip has done her world of good,
aud she is looking much improved in
health. Her cheeks are rosy and she ap-
pears TO have gained a goodly pound or
two of flesh.
Miss Plaisted didn't get seasick, so she
says, but then there are those who think
she is only joking when she says this. She
took no part in the China-J apan war and
didn't see any naval engagements.

HEALTH AGAINST EDUCATION.
Lively Row in Sedaiia Over a Vac
cinatiOn Ordinance

SEDALIA, Mo-, Aug. 1S.-A fight is Oh
between the Sedalia Board Of Health and
the Sedalia Board of Education. Recently
the Board of Health revived an old ordi-
nance requiring all children of school age
in the city to be vaccinated before the
opening of the fall term of school. The
city physician offered free vaccn alton to
the poor If they would make oath that they
were unable TO pay for security against
smallpox. Other citizens were threatened
with arrest and fine if they did not comply
with the ordinance. As a result of these
meth DDS. the Board of Education sent a
letter TO Mayor Haskell and the Board of
Health asking them to have the obnoX-
ious ordinance rescnded.

SHORT LINE MEN.
VIII Probably Bring Suit to Keep
Tn Their WAGES

OMAHA, Aug. 18.-The Federated Board
of the Union Pacific has decided to bring
a new suit 10 prevent Receiver O'NeiIl OF
the Oregon Short Line from reducing the
wages of the employees. 1t was 6rst ar
ranged to have him cited for contempt.
but prominent Omaha railway men hold
that when the Oregon withdrew from the
Union Pacific it ceased to come under any
schedule, rules or regulations in effect
upon the Oregon Short Line. while it was
a part Of the Union Pacific, and besides
the Oregon Short Line is now In a separate
judicial district and Judge CaldwelPs or
der against reducing wages has no effect
upon the road.
The Oregon employees still maintain their
connection with Union Pacific labor organ
iZations.

ALL ABOUT A BOX
Fright of a CIay-Street
Saloon Man.
HIS FEAR OF DYNAMITE.
Wild Run to Escape From an
Expected Blow-Up.
A REFUGE ON THE WATER FRONT
What IL Cost film Because the Label
on a Packing Case Was Not
Changed With the Contents.

1t was only a small box, no larger than
the ordinary sized cracker box. but 1t
caused some excitement yesterday In a
saloon on Clay street, not many blocks re-
moved from the water front.
Just before noon a teamster, who is a
frequent patron of the cocktail caravan
sary, entered the place with the box under
his arm. Depositing it upon the floor OPP
posite the bar, he said to the urbane
stimulant-slinger:
Il want to leave this box here until 4
o'clock, John. 1t has to go on the after
noon train. and l don't want to be pack
ing it around with me until then"
That's all right" was the cordial re-
Spouse of the man behind the bar. Just

Until about l O'Clock that innocent
looking box reposed on the floor. and
seemed to shrink in a meek and lowly
manner from the vulgar gaze of those who
came in TO drink cock tails and steam beer.
Then the event in which it played promi-
nent part occurred.
Two men dropped in and entered INTO
conversation with the man OF spirits, who
was now outside OF the bar.
What have you got in here, John ?"
finally remarked one Of the two. as he gave

which caused ii to half turn around.
"Oh, it was left here" responded the
proprietor, IN an Off-hand way. Hasn't
it got a bel on it?" and he gave the box

around until the under side was upper

Heaves, the common name for broken

great alienation by attention TO the
character and quantity OF food to be
eaten by the animal. as every one
knows, says the Farmers Voice II
a horse suffering from this disease is
allowed to distend his stomach at his
pleasure, with dry food entirely. and
then to drink cold water ad liblum,
he is nearly worthless. But II his food
be molstened and he be allowed to
drink a moderate quantity only at Il
time. the disease is much less trouble
some. A stlll further alienation may
be obtained from the use OF balsam OF
fir and balsam OF copalba, four ounces
each. and mix with calcined magnesia,
sufficiently thick to make II into balls,
and give a mlddilng-s sized ball at night
and morning for a week or ten days.
