About Seventy Five Men with Families
Lose Work on Account Of a FIRE.

BLAIR, Neb., May 14-(SpeclaI Te.egram)
The burning of the Blair horse collar fac
tory at this place proves to be very serious
affair. 1t cuts quite an important part in the
trad of the city. as it had on its pay rolls
about seventy-fve men and they nearly all
had families. The company had the larges.
horse collar factory in the United States, with
capacity of 10000 dozen collars per year,
which necessitattd a pay roll of about $40 600
dollars year. The president and secretary
say they will rebuild as soon as the insur-
ance money is paid and collections of out
standing accounts can be made
The insurance was divided up among diff r
ent companies as follows.

CARNEGIE RAISES THE MEMS WAGES
Notice Posted in the Mills Came us a Sur
prise to the Men.


PITTSBURG May 1.-THE board of man.
ayers Of the Carnegie Stezl company decided
tonight to advance the wages Of its 25 900
employees 10 per cent, the raise to take effect
on June 1. The notices. which will be posted
in all the mills tomorrow read as follows:
notwithstanding the existing contracts be-
tween the Carnegie Steel company and its
this association has decided that the present
business outlook will justify higher rates, and
accordingly takes pleasure in notifying its
employees at the Edgar Thompson furnaces
Edgar Thompson steel works, DuQuesne steel
works, Homestead stees works, Lucy fur
naces, Keystone bridge works, Upper Union
mills, Lower Union mills and Bolivar mills
that on June l, 1895, and until further no.
ttce, the scale of prices paid to all tonnage,
day and turn men will be increased 10 per
cent, this without prejudice to the 1895 wages
contracts still in force.
by order of the board Of managers,
III. c. FRICK, Chairman"
This action is entirely opposite to what
members of the board gave out after Satur-
days meeting on the demand for an increase
made by the furnace men at the Edgar
Thompson furnace. 1t is claimed, however
that Mr.. Frick cabled to Carnegie in Eng
land, and that the increase was first sug-
gested by Mr.. Carnegie. 1t is not known
what effect this action will have on the fight
Of the Amalgamated association in other
mills. Outside manufacturers claim that in
many instances the Carnegie scale is so per
cent lower than the Amalgamated scale, but
this cannot be proved accurately, because the
improved machinery Of the Carnegie mills
increases the mems earning power. This is
the first advance since the reduction of 1892

NoBLEMeN FOR OFFICERS.
Birth. Not Merit. Seems to Count In the
German Army.

According to the latest "almanach' OF
the German army there seems to be little
chance for any one not of noble birth to
attain any but a low ranking in that vast
fighting machine.
There are 68 generals in the infantry
cavalry and artillery, and there are but
two who do not belong to the nobility.
These two, however, are what in England
would be classed as gentry" and are not
OF common origin by any means.
Among tho rs lieutenant generals there
are but 13 Of bourgeois extraction. OF
major generals there are 140, and all but
3S Of these are of noble birth Two hun
dred and six of the 294 colonies have n
right to wear titles.
1t will be seen from this that the higher
commands of the German army remain in
the hands of the arstocracy, which is
strictly in keeping with the theory that
only those who have been accustomed for
generations to rule over their fellow men
by right of birth are fit for military com
mand.
There are 40 regiments In the German
army where all tho officers without excep-
tion are members of the nobility, and there
are 81 other regiments whose rigid rule it
Is never to admit an officer below the grade
Of sous lieutenant who Is not Of noble birth.

Caterpillars and Eve Diseases.

related in which lad was struck in the

and other Indications Of local irritation.
A day or two later the eye became the seat
Of what proved to be very troublesome

of rounded elevations due to an accumula-

which were subsequently discovered and

A Horrible Story Of the Sea.

One Of tho most grewsome tales dug up
out of the misty past is that told by the
York (Me.) Courant Of the wreck of the
Nottingham Galley on Boon island, This
vessel, which was bound to Boston from
London, was driven on the island in ter
rible gale on the night of Dec. II, 1919
Tho weather was so dreadful that some of
the sufferers soon died. There was nothing
to eat but shreds of rawhidc, rockwced
and few mussels After few days two
uf the men attempted to get to York on a
rift but worc drowned. At last the hun
ger of tho survivors became so raging that
they ate some of tho flesh of their dead
comrades and, having no fire, must per
force swallow this raw. Immediately their
dispositions, which had been kind and
helpful, seemed to undergo a total change
Instead Of praying they began to swear and
quarrels commenced. At last, after 23
days Of this horrible life, they were res
cuod, being then mere skeletons and una
bio to walk A lighthouse was erected on
tho island in 1911.
