Pittsburg Workmen to Keep Up
Wages as Wen as Mortar.

Pittsburg, July 19-The pIasterers of
this city are talking of getting up an
association among themselves, for the
purpose of holding up prices for their
labor at a living basis, which it is
agreed among them is largely not the
case at the present time.
Talking OF the matter a p1asterer said
that if a man can find work but at
varied intervals during the year in this
trade; and if at such times he can Sc
cure only wages a little better than
that paid unskilled labor, he does not
get the wages that he should be able to
command
The remedy is with the plasterers
themselves and can only be solved by
organization Of those who follow this
trade.

when properly prepared it tastes like

injurious properties. Grain-O aids di-

PANIC OVER PLAGUE
ALL EUROPE FEARS A SPREAD OF
THE BUBONIC PEST FROM
VIENNA
CLIMATE WILL NOT PREVENT
perimental Laboratory May Have
Serious Results Two Nurses
Stricken, and One VIII Die
Doctor Ill and Has Well Marked
Symptoms,

VIENNA, Oct 21-The public is
panic stricken by the intelligence that
the two nurses who attended the hos
pital servant who died Of bubonic pla-
que are Ill and isolated in the epidemic
hospital. DIR. Muller, who attended the
first victim, is isolated with them.
Medical opinion here is greatly alarm
ed at the prospect of the plague gain
ing a foOthold, as no climatic or 9th ar
reason exists to prevent it. Once an
outbreak occurs here it's spread over
the rest of Europe is certain.
A popular outcry is being raised
against the archaeological institute,
which is specially guarded in anticipa-
tiOn of an attack by a mob.
DIR. Mueller, the physician who at
tended Herr Barisch, Is himself seri,
ously Ill, exhibiting every symptom Of
the fatal malady. There has been no
Improvement in the condition Of the
two nurses who attended Herr Barisch,
and they have developed plague symp-
toms. The case Of one is pronounced
hopeless.
Franz Barisch, the servant who died,
was employed In a menial capacity in
the Vienna Pathological institute. He
was occupied in attending to the ami
mails used for inOculation in the Iahor "a
tory devoted to archaeological studies
in pest diseases. In some manner he
was inoculated with the germ Of the
bubonic plague, the disease taking the
rare form Of inflammation of the lungs,
without the usual pest bo.ls. The chief
bacteriologist of the institute, finding
the pest bacillus in the sputum of the
patient, ordered his immediate isola-
tion. Notwithstanding the fact, how
ever, that the disease was properly
diagnosed ait an early stage and that
the patient received the most approved
treatment, he died in much pain.
Cases Of similar infection are ex-
ceedingly rare. Only five instances
have been reported in Europe since DR..
Yersin, working in the Chinese army,
and DR.. Kitosato, in the japanese army,
during the Chino-Japanese war, inde-
perdently discovered the germ Of the

gone over again and again in specials
from Walker. He was inclined to the
opinion that Bug-o-nay-ge-shig the
leader of the hostile Bear islanders,
and the remaining half a dozen for
whom warrants were held by him, had
been killed in the fight with the SOL
diers.
The soldiers, before leaving the bat
tlegTound, had found and brought In
half dozen rifles, and this fact indi-
Gated that the owners of the weapons
had been killed. He was not familiar
enough with the Indians to draw any
conclusions from the finding of the
rifles, but those acquainted with them
stated that unless mortally wounded
an Indian never left his rifle.
If 1t should turn out that "Old Bug'
and the other braves wanted had not
been killed, the marshal said, every
effort would be made to capture them.
The friendly Indians had promised to
see that the ones wanted were deliv-
cred to the deputy marshals as soon
as they could be located
Deputy Marshals Morrison and Tall
man are at Walker, and Marshal
OConnor expects to return to that
point Monday or Tuesday.
The bravery and generalshfp of Gen.
Bacon, Maj. Wilkinson, Lieut.. Ross
and the troops at Sugar Point during
the engagement is highly spoken Of by
the marshal, and his opinion is that
had it not been for the courage Of the
officers and men the entire party would
have been wiped out by the Indians.
The marshal reports that Bear island
Indians were engaged in a dance on
Thursday and signal fires were noticed
during the night, but as to what the
pow7wow was about had not been
learned. The war department will in
all probability order 100 Of the troops
now at the agency at Leech lake to re-
main there for month or so.
The presence of the troops will, it is
thought, be needed to prevent trouble
between the Indians. Relatives of the
Indian policeman, who was killed by
the soldiers during the engagement.
are very bitter against "Old Bug and
those who took part in the fight, and
there may be a clash between them.
To prevent this and also reassure the
citizens Of Walker and the officials at
the agency detachment may be quar-
tered at the agency during the winter.
Marshal O'Connor will return to
Walker Monday.

HOLD-UP MEN AT 1T.
SENGERS ON AN EASTBOUND
TRAIN
Ing LitchfieId, but Were Round
ed Up by Police Officers.

WILLMAR, Oct. N.-(Special.) 1.-The
passengers and crew Of the Great
Northern train that left here at 8
o'clock last night, eastbound, had a
thrilling experience on the trip to Litch-
field. A short distance out of Willmar
two masked men appeared in one of
the coaches and directed their weapons
at the first man they came to. He hap
pened to be a harvest hand. They took
what money he had and made him take
off his shoes, hat and watch, and then
feeling that perhaps they had not treat
ed him quite badly enough they pound
ed him and made him get-off the train.
Then they went after the others on
board, taking $50 from one passenger
and $40 from another. They took a
watch from one brakeman, one from
the conductor and one from the en-
gineer, but made no effort to stop the
train.
In the meantime the man they put
off reached AtWater and reported his
experience. A message was sent ahead
to Litchfield, telling the agent that two
masked men were robbiRg the train.
He at once gave the alarm, and when
the train reached Litchf1eld there were
officers there to meet 1t. These found
that the two men had left the train
just as it was pulling into the depot.
They ran back and captured the rob-
bers before they suspected that any
alarm had been given,
