EARLY RISING RAYS.

A north side business man who
wished to have private interview
with p. ID. Armour, went to the La
Sale street office Of the nlulbi-million-
ARE several times, burt never succeeded
in gaining am entrance to the private
office. Mr.. Armour is very busy man
and it is not often that a casual visitor
can get to see him, especially if the vis-
ibor is not well known. The north
side man could not get an appointment
with Mr.. Armour, and as he wished to
talk half-hour or SO when he did get
the ear of the great man he was in de-
spair as to how he should proceed. it
happened that he heard the story Of
the employee who, having been out all
night, went TO the Office at 1880 to be-
gin work, there being no other place
To which he could 60, and Mr.. Armour,
finding him there at the early hour,
commended him and raised his salary.
The north side man had heard how
Mr. Armour came 10 his desk long be-
fore any Of the subordiTates reported
for duty, and SO he resolved to get at
him in the morning.
To do this he made the effort of his
life. He arose at 5:15, bad hurried
breakfast before 9, and by 6:45 he was
seated on the front steps of the build
ing in LaSalIe street. Of course the
big buildings were silent and deserted,
but there were already many people
moving about, and the north side man
realized for the first time how much Of
the working day he had been accus-
toned to spend in bed.
Not long after o'clock Mr. Armour
arrived, the first tenant Of the build
ing to put il an appearance.
"Good morning, Mr.. Armour" said
the north side man. II dropped around
to see you on "a little business matter.
You hadn't arrived, 50 / thought I'd
wait"
Sorry I've kept you waiting" said
the millionaire. Come right into the
office"
So they had their business talk before
the other occupants Of the building ar
rived, and perhaps because Mr.. Armour
was pleased Ito find a man WHO arose
earlier than he did, the north side man
secured what he was after. Mr.. Armour
knew that any man who was out hust-
ling at O'Clock IN the morning could
be relied upon Chicago Record.

only escaped cremation by seeking
refuge in the bottom of a deep canal
where there was some water, and his
head and back are so badly burned
that the physicians pronounce his case
serious.
In both counties, the soil is of a
peaty nature, and vast damage is being
done to the arabic land by the fires
burning holes in it. while on the TIM

nature of the soil. thick underground

being burnt up, even the largest and
tallest trees.
The timber interests of both coun-
ties are very extensive, and the damage
done is great,

a SERIOUS LABOR RIOT
Two Men Wounded il a Fight Between
Union and Non Union Men.

Cleveland, Ohio April % j serious
riot occurred this afternoon at Pack,
tray 81 Co.'S dock between Union and
uon-Union wharfmen Two men were
seriously wounded, one perhaps fatally.
Many have bruised faces and blackened
eyes.
A vessel was to be unloaded at the
dock and 1925 Union men were on
hand to do the work. They claimed
the captain had given them the job.
While they were getting ready for the
work a large crowd of non-Union la
borers put in an appearance and their
leaders, john Powitski~ and August
Swege, claimed the work belonged to
them A wrangle followed and in
few minutes the men were throwing
bricks and in various ways endeavor-
ing to annihiiate each other.
Swege, the non-Union leader, pulled
a revolver, but before he had time to
use it one of the other gang stabbed
him in the neck As he fell he was
grabbed by the police and hustled to-
ward patrol wagon There were but
three officers on the ground at the
time, one Of whom received a serious
wound in the head. Henry Bedliha, a
non-Union man, was kicked into in
sensibility and terribly injured. About
this time Capt. Madigan, with forty
officers, arrived on the scene. The
leaders Of the riot were hustled into
patrol wagons. The police managed
to stop the fight temporarily, but there
is every prospect Of further trouble,
as the men are swearing vengeance
on each other.

TIE OHIO PLATFORM.
Its Bimetallic Plank Adopted by the
Larned Convention.

Through a mistake in the telegram Of
the State Journal late yesterday after
noon the report Of this paper on the
platform adopted at the Larned sena-
tOrial convention was somewhat mis-
leading.
An amendment had been introduced,
offered by Ban of Scott county, substi-
tuting a clause favorable to the res
tOration of silver to the place it Occu
pied prior to the decentralization of
the white metal in 1873. AS a matter
of fact this amendment was referred
to the committee on resolutions and
was lost in the shuttle; at any rate,
nothing was heard of it from the time
it was referred to the resolutions COM
mittee till the close Of the convention.
The financial resolutions of the con-
ventiOn. as embodied in the report of
the resolutions committee, called for
the adoption of the financial plank of
the Ohio platform in toto. Following
the reading of the platform, Ball arose
and offered his amendment. Then
there was a long debate, and finally
the chairman took the bit in his mouth
and ordered the amendment sent to the
resolutions committee. This was act
ing upon one of the rules adopted by
the convention as a part of the re
port Of the committee on rules and
order of business which stated that all
resolutions be referred. unread, to the
resolutions committee.
