in both cities only day or so before
Derby day that OakwoopS only cam

in both cities felt sure that Oakwood

was moving on the eastern end of the
road. and by this time the entire system
is probablysat standstill.
The order to strike went into effect
last night at IL o'clock sharp, although
1t had been decided upon as early as 10
O'Clock.
At midnight the overland passenger
train, known as No. l. was still tied up
at Minneapolis, ha wing left St. Paul at
4:55 p. M. twenty minutes late.
Train No. z, which runs as far West
as Fargo, was tied up at the union
depot. st. Paul. No engineer or fireman
could be found to man the engine.
The strike is direct outcome of the
Pullman troubles, and the company had
received warning that it would take
place.
The strike on the Northern Pacific is
full -fedged A. R. U. strike, and will
be handled by that organization.
Tuesday noon the boycott against the
Pullman cars went into effect in Chi
cago, and the men Of the Northern Pa
ciic system refused to further handle
the cars. They so notified the officials
of the company. AS direct outcome
of that action fifteen switchmen were
discharged from service because they
refused to comply with an order to han
die the cars. Four car men at the Como
shops suffered like fate. The employees
say General Manager Kendrick there
upon issued standing order to dis
charge every man who refused to handle
the Pullman cars.
Acommittee of five, consisting of M.F.
Doyle, G. Gilbert James Chanstrum, o.
G. Wright and Thomas Bowen. especi-
ally selected as grievance committee,
called on General Manager Kendrick
and asked for the reinstatement of all
the discharged men. This was refused.
Several meetings were held at Labor
hall and the matter thoroughly consid-
cred by Northern Pacific Branch 214 A.
R.U. The report of the grievance COM
mittee was received yesterday evening.
and after some discussion 1t was plainly
visible that but little opposition existed
in the ranks of the men when the ques-
ton of general strike came up. 1t
was few minutes before 10 o'clock
when the question was submitted to
vote and carried. and at 10 o'clock sharp
the strike was declared on.
A general strike committee of three
members was appointed. consisting of
NJ. F. Doyle, j. W..Worrell and }. w.
Lahiff. Chairman Doyle, of the COM
mittee, at once sent a telegraphic order
all along the system as far West as Liv-
ingston, Mont. and that point was in
structed to notify all Western divisions
and points at once. The order includes
all classes of railroad employees. and
will not be confined to trainmen alone.

they went to the grounds early and were
all in high spirits. All the railroad
trains that arrived early were packed
full even to the platforms of the cars.
The street car service was excellent,
and the lines leading to the grounds
were full of crowded cars. 1t was
subject for universal commendation
that the street cars were excellently
handled by an unusually large corps of
EMPLOYEES, and not an accident or delay
occurred. The dust was the worst
feature of the open cars, but that was
unavoidable.
The arrival Of trains from ST. Paul
and Minneapolis simultaneously with
about 1900 people, shortly before 2
o'clock. filed the grounds for large
space around the ticket windows and
made Jam. The arrival of thousands
Of others by train and electric car kept
up the rush among the ticket sellers and

such as might be expected for Derby
day. and not for two years have the
students of fashion and the admirers of
handsome women and attractive gowns
had chance to feast their eyes upon
such bright aggregation iu the North
west. Derby day two years ago did not
exeel thaIaf yestarday in costumes, and
probably did not come up, to the pretty.
picture of yesterday. Everybody seemed
happy, and it was impossible to detect
even an expression Of envy on the faces
of any of the women at seeing the cos
tunes of others, for they all seemed to
be attired in costumes that suited their
tastes aud particular marks of beauty
or degree of life. Even the barefooted
boy who footed ito the grounds and
climbed to the top of some building to
view the races from the roof, seemed
happy and uncomplaining.
The strong wind helped make the
crowds in some quarters uncomfortable,
as it carried clouds of dust to the infield
especially. Those In carriage about
the infield found their positions very
uncomfortable because of the hot, burn
ing wind that blew upon them, and car
ried with it such dense clouds Of dust

SLEEPY EYE, Minn., June 27.-The
climatic conditions prevailing here for
several hours this afternoon eliminated

formed In the southwestern part Of
this county and traversed through the
heart of as rich an agricultural dis.
trict as there is in the state; but fort>
unately did not strike any of the
towns. In the township Of Mulligan
several people were injured and
three or four houses and many
barns destroyed. Further north and
east the storm was more violent,
and five miles west of here. Charles
Meilka. aged sixteen, was caught and
killed by the rapidly whirling funnel,
From the Meilka farm the storm veereS
north, and struck Johan Schmid's place,
where the entire family was picked up
and hurled with the ruins of their
house distance Of several rods.
Mr.. Schmidt was less seriously injured
than any of his family. but his children
were mercil essly handled by the storm
fiend and all were terribly torn and
bruised. The eldest daughter, who was
picked up and hurled five or six rodA
is thought to have received serious In.
ternal injuries. All Of the buildings on
the Schmidt farm were demolished and
the roof of the house carried almost q
mile away. From Schmidt's the course

not again strike the earth

that the finishes of the races could not
be seen with comfort. Most of the oc.
cupants of the carriages soon repaired
either to the club house or the grand
stand, and found 1t more comfortable.
The wind blew 80 hard that positions
at the back of the grand stand was like
standing on the hurricane deck of Q
steamer in gale.
Many Of the people got onto the fact
that the second story of the grand stand
was the most desirable, as 1t was better
shaded and gave better opportunity for
seeing the races, and there were many
family groups there.
The sun was 30 hot during the early
part of the afternoon that comparative
ly few men stood up to the fence during
the racing. but crowded the aisles and
sstepsof the grand Stand, and of course
sobstructed the vision Of many having
seats, but there was no complaint other
than that made by the police not to OBJ
siruct the view. The racing was all so

withstanding the heavy sprinkling
that had been given 1t during the fore
noon and shortly before the first race
was called. 1t mattered not how much
water was put upon it; the sun and
breeze dried 1t out quickly. The track
was in consequence slow.
1t was only few minutes past noon
when people began to turn their course
toward the grounds. and fully an hour
before the time scheduled for the first
race there were 10000 people there.

Seated on the back of butchers war,

Cripple Creeks Gold.

The discovery Of gold at Cripple Creek,
Colo. has already become a matter of
legend. As usual in such cases, the
story has some very pretty qualities. A
young druggist from Colorado Springs
went prospecting back Of Pixies peak.
One day at noon, tired out, he sat down
on the top of Bull hill to eat his lunch.
For dessert he had some nuts which he
cracked with a stone lying at his feet.
In this stone he saw tiny particles of
gold. The result was a claim and the
great Pharmacist mine Of today, which
yields geo, 0G0 worth Of gold month and
u the hope Of the gold mining interest in
America. Cripple Creek is less than two
years old and is reached only by stage
routes. 1t was not given much atten-
ton by Colorado prospectors until the
bottom fell out Of silver mining, but now
some OF the best miners in Colorado are
working its goldfields with great energy.

The legend about Partisan dandies be-
ing in the habit Of sending their linen to
be done up by the London clear starchers
has been exploded by a painstaking
searcher after the truth of things. NJ.
Paul Bourget, it appears, is responsible
for having spread such report or at
least for having made one of his heroes
forward his linen to blanchisseuse de
fin on the other side of the channel. In
the play now running at the Gymnase
the son Of the Duchess of Ferto-Carrari
complains of want Of punctuality on the
part Of his British blanchisseur (sic).
The patient investigator of truth has in
terviewed notable Partisan irnitators of
English manners and fashions on the
matter, and not one of them, he says, fol-
lows the example of the person in the
play. The Due de Morny went so far as
TO say that it was the English who sent
their linen here in order to be done up a
la mode de Paris, where blanchissage is
next door to a fine art. The Duo de
Mornys statement was corroborated by
q prominent chemisier, who both sells
linen to London customers and keeps it
in order for them.-Paris Cor. London
Telegraph.
