Germans Celebrate Fourth of July On

Southampton July 6.-OOne Of the
most agreeable trips eastward of the
North German Lloyd steamer Trave,
Capt. c. ThalenhOrst, which has just
arrived here here was rendered event
full by a. Fourth of July concert whose
programme concluded with the singing

STRIKE NY SPREAD.
Omaha Packing House Employees
Want Aid From Chicago and
Kansas City.

Omaha, Neb, July 18.-The packing
house strike of South Omaha promises
to involve all packing institutions
throughout the west, particularly Chi
cago, Kansas City and ST Joseph The
Central Labor union has announced
that if the managers of local packers do
not come to terms BY noon TO-DAY al
the employees of the Chicago and Kan
sas City houses will quit work in SYM
pathy. The local packers were inclined
to doubt this statement but learned
that a committee of dozen of the
most intelligent striking employees, rep
resenting all the departments, quietly
left Omaha for Kansas City and Chi
cago. They go to influence a general
strike of a sympathetic nature. The To-
cal managers hastily wired their cor
respondents in Chicago and Kansas
City to head off the move If possible
Practically all the houses are closed
today. A few men are at work in some
departInents, and at the Omaha plant
q considera BILE number are around, but
with this exception nothing is doing
The strikers assert that they must have
81 cents an hour increase, and the pack
ers say this is out of the question. Sew
eraI compromise propositions have been
made, but both sides refuse to recede.
1t is intimated that the strikers had
no intention originally of going out, but
merely thought because Armour & CO.
big plant here was to be opened they
could secure an increase in pay by
threats to go to work there. Armour
will employ :, 600 men here, and viii kill
daily 900 hogs, 2,OSO cattle and 5000
sheep. Where he could get this force
except by drawing on the packers in
other towns the forces here did not
understand But after their demand
had been made and refused they thought
they had to insist on the increase. SO
the strike was the result. Armour will
not attempt to open his house until the
strike is settled.
The stock yards, however, are receiv-
ing cattle and hogs as usual, Manager
large number of Spectators here buy
ing stock, the shippers sending their
stock here as usual and if they fail to
get what they want they rush in right
on to Kansas City or Chicago.

DRY TOPEKA.
Neither Water Nor Anything
Else to Drink.

The drouth is about to strike Topeka
in earnest and we are not prepared for
it,
With the coming of a Town Marshal
and our new police system the bon ton
jointists closed up their gin shops and
waited developments. That is most of
the larger ones did and those that did
not close are having their places closed
for them. Two large joints between
Fourth and Fifth, two more between
Fifth and Sixth, one between Sixth and
Seventh and two between Seventh and
Eighth streets on Kansas avenue have
closed or been closed. These were the
principal joints of the town and did a
thriving business. Many of the smaller
places followed their lead and now
what might be called a first-cIass joint
does not exist. The boot leggers and
hop tea people are still running but
they will all receive attention.
A stranger in Topeka would probably
go dry To be sure there are two
drinking fountains. One in North To
peka and one at the corner of Sixth and
Kansas avenue Murky looking water
in a quarter inch stream struggles from
two spOuts in each of the public water
ing places but some one has stolen the
tin cups and the chains that held them
and it is impossible for a man with a
heavy beard to get his head under, boy
fashion, in order to get a drink.
When the eXcursiOniStS from St. Joe
were over here they were in a heavy
rain all the morning One man rode
the length of Kansas avenue and miss
ed seeing the one drinking fountain. lie
was soaking wet from the rain and dry
inside. He muttered something about
water, water all around and not a
drop to drink" and decided he would
rather be in Missouri
Some time ago an agitation was
started for public drinking fountains
but it died a peaceful death. When the
joints were closed the remark that 1T
was for the good of the drug stores was
started, but the dearth of drinking
fountains is also for the good of the
soda water fountains.
The restaurant keepers complain. SO
many people are driven into their pla-
ces of business to ask for a drink of
water. The horses are cared for better
than the people for at least four water
ing trOughs do duty within the city
limits.
The Fail Festival. crowds will be in a
bad fix without any drinking fountains.
