Cooks Form a Union.

For a long time the subject of
organization has been under dis
cussion by the cooks, and several
meetings have been held. Thurs
day evening, May 21, however,
about 80 Of the craft gathered
in the Union club rooms and
were formally organized into a
union by Secretary James Muir
ray, of the Federated Trades
Assembly. All the members
were obligated and a full set of
officers was elected. Speeches
were made by James Murray, J.
F. Mcdonald and w. r. VOL

the necessity of maintaining an

equalizing wages, and the gen.

dent; William H. Bills, vice-presi-
dent; Jerry Lawson, recording

Are Victorious.

The dispatches say that the
striking fremen of the Armour
packing plant who went out
May 6 for increased wages and
fewer hours, compromised their
differences today, lifting the boy
colt against the company's meat
and will return to work to-m0r-
row morning. The 1000 or
more employees in different de-
partments of the plant who
were laid off because of lack of
work will also be reinstated.
The fremen gain an increase of
IN cents an hour for eight hours,
which is practically all they de-
manded.

1.-The Fever Spreads

Another new case discovered
at Superior. It was the Coal
Handlers who received the at
tack this time.
A large number of that class
of workmen gathered at the
Silver King hall, 1914 Third St.,
Tuesday night, May 10. They
were all enthusiastic, sturdy
workers, and the new organic
alton, beginning as it has, with
such a large number of detern1in-

Got What They Voted For.

The Minnesota iron compan-
les are discharging those en-
ployes who dare join union or
vote a reform ticket. Great and
glorious is the freedom of the
United States! Freedom to be
menials and hirelings for some
monopoly. But the working
people vote for this condition.
They just love the old political
parties. It would ruin them to
have the whole people own and
operate the iron, coal and other
mines. They prefer to be the
hirelings of the few than to be
equal owners and self-employ-
ers. So long as men refuse to
vote for men who are fanatical
in favor of public ownership of
all monopolies, so long will they
be deceived and sold out and
be left to live in shanties,
clothed in rags and fed on re-
fuse food and horse meat. A
fanatic will die for his belief.
Money never bribed one. They
can always be relied on to be
true to their trust. Organize
socialist sections and get edu-
Gated. No other way out of the
dilemma.-Conning Nation.

This Is the Reported Good
Times.

Just read this: r. G. Dun
& Co., in their regular quarterly
statement of failures for the
first quarter of 1896, say: "The
total number of business fail
ures for the past quarter is so
much larger than usual, in fact
so much larger than ever be-
fore in corresponding period,
as to challenge attention, par
ticularly when it is recalled
that these reports exclude fail
ure of those engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits, in any of the
professions, in transportation
enterprises or as employees OF
mercantile or industrial con-
Germs, or those engaged in per-
sonal service" why not leave
out the rest.) The total num-
Der of failures for the past three
months is 1912, just 700 more
than for the like quarter last
year. No failure is reported
where the assets equal the LA
bilities, or the amount involved
is less than $1,000. Vote for a
gold-bug president. You will
get used to this sort of thing
after you are dead.

Labor World Endorsed.

The Labor World was en-
dorsed unanimously, with a
whoop, by the Saw Mill Mems

good work is going on. The

Our British cousins are again in
trouble, occasioned by their thlevish
propensities, One DR.. Jameson OF
the chartered South African COM
panv with $40 men invaded the
Transvaal republic, the land of the
Beers, expecting to overthrow the re-
public and in that case, OF course,
receive British aid in anneXing it to
Cape Colony. Fortunately he was
badly defeated and obliged to sur
render. This invasion of the land
of the Beers raised the ire of the
German Emperor who promptly sent
congratulatory message to Presl-
dent Kruger upon the defeat OF
jameson, and now the British press
is scalping the kaiser. What the
government will do remains to be

1t Is hardly pleasant omen for Eng
lands future King, tho baby Prince Ed
ward of York, that the first appointment
officially made to the household of his
royal higlmess should be dentist. Yet
such is the case. The little fellow is
having good deal of trouble with his
teething, and accordingly one of the la
test issues Of The Government Gazette
announces the appointment Of clever
young dentist as dental surgeon in
ordinary to his royal highness, Prince
Edward of York. In course of time he
will be provided, through the columns
of the official gazette, with governor,
controller, equeTies, lords and gentle
men i'll waiting, grooms Of the stole, and
chaplains, besides physicians and private
secretaries. But the dignitary whose ap-
pointment will outstrip all others in
priority, if not in Importance and rank,
is that of the young dentist. Teeth are
becoming more and more an important
consideration in the reigning families Of
Europe. Thus the royal house of Sweden
keeps a dentist busy all the time, owing
to the fact of all their teeth being
bad, while the molars of the reigning
house of Spain are excruciatingly bad,
Don Carlos in particular having been a
perfect martyr with his teeth until he
had them replaced hy artificial grinders
In fact, there is not single royal house
in Europe that can boast of good teeth,
and for this reason dentists play SO i'm

Lions Bo.der Than Tigers.

The lion does not appear to possess
the wariness of a tiger. Gle will dash
into tied up bait in the most head
strong manner, needless of the hunter
seated behind a screen of bushes, whose
presence, with his keen powers of smell,
he cannot fail to detect. From what
have heard and seen of his habits ]
should say he was a holder animal than
the tiger, but by that l do not mean a
moro dangerous one. In one respect per-
haps he is less dangerous than either
tiger or panther, for l am inclined to
think that it is not so much his habit to
feed on putrid fles, as either Of the two
latter and consequently he does not kill
by blood poisoning after ipauling his foe
so often as the others dc. OF late years

He Kept tits Promise, Though 1t Cost Him
His Life.
The Confederate Veteran is engaged
In noble work in its effort to have
monument erected to the young hero
Sam Davis, who died the death Of a spy
rather than betray secret that would
have saved his life, but doomed another
to the same death. Sam Davis was spe-
cial agent for General Bragg, and he
had obtained valuable Information CIV
en- him in confidence and ON the prom
Use that he would never betray the
source of his information. He was not
spy, for we believe he wore his Confed-
crate gray when captured4 gut the pa
pers on his person showed that he had
from some one obtained secret informa-
ton. His life and safe escort into the
Confederate lines were promised him if
he would give the name of the informer,
but he chose to die instead. He was but
boy, and the temptation must have
been powerful. But he was hero. No
marble shaft or statue in bronze towers
above the dust of nobler life than that
of the fair haired STRIPPING who kept his
faith and his honor and died rather
than break a promise.
If monuments are to be built, it is
better to build them in commemoration
of noble character and simple life
true to the last breath to knightly
standard Of honor than to genius or to
brilliant achievements. There is les
son for the humblest as well as the
highest in the martyrdom of Sam Davis.
Every man cannot be genius. Only the
highly favored few can win renown by
great deeds. Sam Davis was not of
these His title to the admiration Of his
countrymen rests in a simple, steadfast,
unwavering devotion to duty and to a
principle of honor. 1t is character to
which the common soldier in life's bat
tie may attain. The youth Of the land
cannot copy the mighty genius of Lee,
but they may be taught to love truth
and honor, to be faithful even unto death
like Sam Davis
Raise him monuments monument
to the young hero of the common people

In The BEGINNING

OF new year, when the winter season of
close confinementis only half gone, many
find that their health begins to break
down that the least exposure threatens
sickness. 1t is then as well as at all other
times. and with people even in good
health, that the following facts should be
remembered namely that Hoods Sars-
aparilla leads everything in the way Of
medicines that it accompanies the great
est cures in the world; has the largest
sale in the world, and requires the largest
building in the world devoted exclusively
to the preparation of the proprietary
medicine. Does not this conclusiyely
prove, if you are sick, that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is the medicine for You to take?
