LABOR. TROUBLE, \
30 Far AZ Chicago is Concerned, rs
Cying by Inches.
dltss.nal Arnold Calls In Five Kindred Of
His Dcputies-Ordcr Prevails Every
wherc In His Jurtsliction. and the
Troops Can Now Be withdrawn.

CHICAGO, July 13.--It was the opinion
If careful and conservative observers
Thursday night that the labor troubles,
80 far as Chicago and it's vicinity is
concerned, are dying by inches. There
may be few more manifestations OF
its continued existence in the form of
minor wall<outs and similar demonstra-
tions, but these will be but the spasms
that prccede the final dissolution. In
this opinion the authorities at army
headquarters, ut the government build.
ing and ut the police department are
practically unanimous.
United States Marshal Arnold, who
has kept his finger upon the key of the
situation from the moment that the
authority of his opportunity was in
voked, said Thursday afternoon to the
United Press, as he issued orders for
the calling in of 500 of his deputies:
''Tie strike, or revolt, or whatever it
may be called, is practically thing of
the past. Order prevails everywhere
within this jurisdiction, and it is my
opinion that the troops might be with.
drawn tomorrow without apprehen-
sion of the possibility of further dis
order. The crisis has been passed, and
that with safety"
The same impression prevailed
throughout the city. Business of all
kinds, and which has been in a state of
paralysis for over week, commences
to show symptoms of returning very
early. The retail stores were thronged
with customers, and country buyers
begin to show their faces at the whole
sale establishments. The ticket SELL
ers at the various depots were kept
busy, and AT the box offices of the
theaters, which have done a beggarly
business for week or more, advance
sales were actually reported. Every
where there were indications of the
general belief that, even if the trouble
was not otabsolutely over, the worst had
been seen.
The railroad managers were espe-
cially elated. Reports from every
quarter showed that men by the thous-
and, strikers as we'll as those unem-
ployed by no fault or action of their
own, were applying for work, and that
business of all kinds was being re-
sumed as rapidly as could be expected
under the circumstances. Some of the
roads that have been most directly af-
fected posted notices in their down
town ticket offices to the effect that
they were prepared to receive freight
and to forward it with reasonable
promptness.

Railway Bride. Biows Up with Dynamite
and Treight Train Demolished.


WrcnrrA, Kan. July IA. The adverse
decision of the Oklahoma supreme
court in the attempt by the towns Of
South Enid and Pond Creek t0 compel
the Rock Island railroad to build de.
pots and stop trains has been quickly
followed by an outrage which, but for
accident, would have probably resulted
in fearful sacrifice of human life.
At 4:20 Friday morning mile south
of Enid, the Rock Island bridge was
blown up with dynamite and freight
train was demolished. The engine
and couple of cars had passed safely
over, when the dynamite exploded,
hurling the train from the track. The
thirty cars were piled in the ditch, and
Brakeman Cordry and Harry Lyon, a
tramp, were badly injured.
The dynamite was evidently intended
for the regular north-bound passenger
train from Texas, reaching the scene
thirty minutes later, and which, but
for the accident of the freight blocade
caused by the strike necessitating the
running of the extra freight, would
have been the first to enter this hor.
rible trap.
The blowing up of the Rock Island
bridge and train at Enid was followed
about noon by the total demolition OF
the railroad bridge just north of Pond
creek, the other government town site
that is fighting for railroad facilities.
Much of the track between Pond
Creek and Enid has been torn up, and
the people of both places express de.
termination to have depots or no rail-
roads.
The Rock Island officials have called
on the governor for troops, and the lat.
ter has requested the commandant at
Ft. Reno to send a company of United
States soldiers without delay.

A Collision at Chicago in Which
Lives Are Lost,

A Collision at Chicago in Which Two
Lives Are Lost.
CHICAGO, July 13.--Through the care
lessness of an engineer u head-end col.
lision occurred on the Wisconsin Cen.
trail road Thursday afternoon near
Brown and Fifteenth streets. Two
men lost their lives and several were
severely injured.
A Baltimore & Ohio engine, running
twenty miles an hour, crashed into a
Wisconsin Central engine standing at
the head Of train. j. b. Bristol, who
resided at 2733 South Park avenue,
and was newly appointed special
agent of the Wisconsin Central,
was instantly killed. William Brossa,
deputy marshal, sustained injuries
which proved fatal three hours after
wards. Andrew Blats, deputy mar
shal who was guarding the train, had
his left leg crushed, and w. Broughton
was severely injured.
The force of the collision tore fifty
feet off the wall of grain elevator be-
longing to Burdette, Smith & Co.. and
buried some of the injured men under
a heap OF brick and grain. The engi-
neers, firemen and switchmen wero
held as witnesses.

ACQUIRED FACIAL EXPRESSION.


The compressed lip so loved (and SO
often misintcrpreteD by novelists is
sign of weakness rather than strength.
II tells of perpetual conflicts in which
the reserves are called into the fray.
The strong is not agitatcd into strcnu-
GUS action by the small worries of the
hour, and the great occasions which
call for its whole forces are too few to
produce permanent impress of this
kind upon the features The COM
manding officer, assured of his mems
obedience, does not habitually keep his
lip muscles in n state of tension. Look
at the sea captain, the most absolute
monarch on earth. He carries author
ity and power in his face; but it resides
in his eye and the confident assurance
Of his easily set mouth. Every spar
and shaft and muscle in his floating
realm must obey him, and he knows it.
This is probably reason why the sea
captains and the engine drivers show
q certain similarity of type. The en-.
gine driver can make his captive giant
strong as ten thousand men, obey the
pressure of his finger. His lips are
unusually calm, like those of the statues
Olympus. Who ever saw man com.
manding man-of-war or driving
locomotive with the contentious lip OF
q school usher.
The typical expressions of the mem
bers of those three liberal professions
which Sir Thomas Browne says are all
founded upon the fall of Adam are
well enough recognized to have been
long the prey of the caricaturist.
The several distinctive traits of each,
and the possible causes which give rise
to them, are too complex to be dealt
with in a single article. Speaking very
generally, the cleric's face is indicative
of authority (of the thin-lipped kind(
and of dignified sense of the sanctity
of his office. The DOCTORS jaws and
mouth are less rigid, yet tell of de-
cision. His eye is vigilant and SYM
pathetic, and his own facial aspect
conveys the idea of fund of untapped
wisdom. The lawyers countenance is,
confident and confidential, with q
pouncing alertness of the eye and q,
prevailing expression of weighty per-.
spicacity. Louis Robinson, in Pop.
ular Science Monthly.

Pullman Marked by Anarchists.

CHICAGO, July 13.-1t is not strange
that George M. Pullman left this city
suddenly to retreat successfully to his
summer home on the Atlantic coast
and his castle upon an inaccessible
island in the st. Lawrence river.
The rich fugitive was marked
for assassination by a band
of anarchists, and he, while know.
ing something of the plot, probably
does not fully know how near he was
to a violent end. Yet he stood within
the shadow of the tomb, and the press
ure of a finger would have forever re.
moved him from the scenes of life. It
was simply difference in the judg.
ment of some of the band that saved
him. He had been doomed, and the
agent of death was willing to execute
his work. All this has leaked out from
certain detective circles.
