UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
Return to Work or Stay Out the
Notice Posted.

Omaha, July 1.-THE Union Pa.
cific railroad company has given
formal notice to its striking shopmen
to return to work at once or forfeit
their positions. The following notice
was posted at the shops
Resumption of work having been de-
cided upon, employees OF the different
shops desirous of continuing in the
service Of this company should report
at the Office at once. All such en-
ployees not reporting for work at this
time will be treated as new men in the
future. w. Il. McKeen, Superintend-
ent Motive Power and Machinery.
This is considered by the strikers as
an attempt to resume work In shops
all along the line, and was not unex-
pected by them. Mr.. Wilson of the
Machinists' union said the notice
would have no influence with his men.
Mr.. McKeen admitted that the com
pany was preparing to begin opera
tions in all its shops and that this
mornings notice was preliminary to
the restoration of normal conditions.
He said the company was now in posi-
tion to begin such an undertaking,
had sufficient men TO operate all its
shops in limited capacity, and
would soon be able to run them at full
force.

A VERMONT LADY'S
DeSpera,s Fight For Life
Mrs. Nathan BeaI Says:
Paine'S
Compound
Saved me from the Insane Hospi=
tai as Well as Cured my
Rheumatism

There never was remedy so high
ly recommended as Paine's Celery
Compound. There never wasla remedy y
in such universal demand. II is pop
ular and priced in tens of thousands
of homes, because it makes sick peo-
pie we'll.
Paine's Celery Compound has
saved thousands from nervous pros
tration and collapse; it has effected
wonderful cures in kidney and liver
complaints: its victories over rheuma-
tism and neuralgia have commanded
the attention and admiration of our
best physicians. 1t has cured diseases
when everything else has failed.
Mrs. Nathan Beals, a well known
lady of Gallup's Mills, VT, writes as
follows;-"For ten months before |
commenced taking Paine's Celery
Compound, could not put my foot
on the first round of my chair, only
five inches from the floor. | had
nearly lost the use OF my left side,
and / could not lift pound weight
with my left hand without danger OF
dropping it. Many times l would
lift something at the table, only to
drop it. l had a pressure in the top
of my head and pain at the base OF
my brain, which would leave me SO
nervous that I used to tell my hus-
band ! would surely go crazy. l could
not keep still at night, and Sundays
were just awful to me. | found my
whole system prostrated and it took a
long time to build up my poor, worn
out nerves. think that Paine's Gel
cry Compound saved me from the In
sane Hospital. as well as cured my
rheumatism.

THE KAW RISES AGAIN
ArgentIne's Water Supply Is Entirely
Shut Off.

Kansas City, July 1.-THE Kansas
river, after having fallen about two
inches Saturday night, commenced to
rise again yesterday forenoon, and at
I O'Clock last night was four inches
above the high water mark attained
last Thursday, when the Missouri was
up, causing back water nearly 10 Ar
gentine. When the Missouri fell the
Kaw attained current of nearly
twelve miles an hour, and stands now
to do much more damage than before
by reason of that fact,
The uperintendent of the Argentine
Waterworks Company yesterday or
dered his men to shut of the entire
city supply of water, leaving the
thirty feet now in the reservoir for
emergencies. The residents of the
Silver City are now without water en-
tirely, except those who are fortunate
enough TO have cisterns, or who live
near enough to one of the three wells
in the city to carry water from them.
Many neighborhoods have "clubbed"
together and hired men and teams to
keep them supplied, pending such u
time as the water company is able to
start the pumps again. The situation
is as bad as the most nervous element
anticipated when the river reached the
pump room OF the power house, but
the people seem to bow gracefully to
the inevita BILE, and seem willing to
carry or haul their water for domes-
tic purposes If the city is protected
against conAagration. The pumps
of the Santa Fe local station could
be turned into the resident mains, but
as they are connected only with the
river the water would not be fit for
use.

HOW'S THIS FOR RUM ING
Twentieth Century Limited" Makes
481 Miles in AGO Minutes.

Chicago, July 12.-Reeling off 4s1
miles in 400 minutes, the Twentieth
Century Limited" on the Lake Shore
Michigan e. Southern :road today
smashed records for fast running on
that system and verified assertions
made by officials that a sixteen hour
schedule could, if necessary, be main
tanned between Chicago and New York
The train, forty-6ve miles west Of
Buffalo, was hours and 2S minutes
behind its schedule and 1t was then that
engineers were given clear track an
ordered to make the best time over
the various divisions.
The train covered the 1874 miles be-
tween Brockton and Cleveland in 13l
minutes. From Cleveland TO Toledo
pushed along over the l13 miles at
some points at speed reaching ninety
miles an hour, covering the distance
in 1903 minutes. The run to Elkhart,
Ind, 1873 miles, was covered in 115
minutes.
The run into Chicago from Elkhart
was slower on account OF the necessity
OF slowing down while passing three
towns where the speed of trains is
limited by ordinance. Slow downs
were also necessary for the fourteen
railroad grade crossing in Chicago.
Despite these delays the l0l miles was
covered in III minutes and the train
which was due in the city at 9:4j a. m.
arrived at the Grand Central pas
senger station only 2S minutes late.

gram from Acting Governor Wright
Of the Philippines in answer to in
quiries of Secretary Root respecting
charges that American school teachers
were engaged in proselyting pupils
under their charge from the Catholic
faith. Governor Wright says the
charges are uniounded in every par

ers number l4O ana are Catholics. He
says:
ut is untrue that the Filipino is
taught that Professionalism is bringing
enlightenment and. Catholicism ignor-
ance. There is no reason to suppose
that Stone, superintendent and Oliver,
principal of the Marila schools, are
bigoted or anti-Catholic. Both deny
it. There are about 3, 400 teachers
employed in the islands, all Of whom
are Catholics, The teachers are Sc
lected without eferonccto religion and
are not allowed to preach or teach

consultation this evening with the
state mine inspectors summoned here
to make thorough inspection of the
Rolling Mill mine Of the Cambria

ing inspection, dictated a notice to
General Manager G. S. Price, of the
Cambria company, granting formal
permission to resume operations in all
sections of the mine except the Klpn-
dixie in the morning. The Klondike
workings will likely be closed for sew
eral days, until perfect security is as
sured by the explosion. Two more
deaths of rescued victims have oc-
Cured since last night These deaths
raise the total fatalities to ia, al
though the company records have il
one less.
Mine Superintendent G. T. Robin
son this evening said: II would not
like to assert that there are no more
bodies in the mine, but l don't think
there are. There may be few"
Most interest centered today on the
funerals of the victims, scattered
throughout the city. Black clouds of
mourning we're heaviest over Cambria
city, where the foreign population
dwells. Scenes of Saturday in this
section were repeated, but only with
sterner force. 1t was a grim fete day,
in which the number Of participants
was augmented by throngs the morn

came from towns within radius OF
fifty miles or more. These visitors
spread themselves out in squads and

separate contracts were made last

are in close ,ouch. The miners be

which can hardly be settled without o
joint convention of the three districts
and this convention has been called
for the purpose. of considering these

POPE TO HAVE HIS WAY
United States Recedes from Demand
For Immediate Withdrawal

ANi w
Washington, July IL. The negoti
ations now in progress at the Vatican
respecting the Philippine friars and
their lands will not fail OF that the
administration officials here feel cer-
tain. 1t was realized at the beginning
when Governor Taft's instructions
were framed, that they represented
the extreme of our claims and that
they did not preclude the ideas of
reasonable compromise by mutual
concessions The negotiations are
progressing in spirit. The United
States government will not secure
everything it desired, because even If
the pope were disposed to concede
these things the negotiations have
developed the fact that, although hi
power is theoretically unlimited, in
actually the internal politics of the
Vatican impose conditions even upon
the chief prelate of the church which
he must observe. Therefore, the i'm
mediate and complete withdrawal of
of the Spanish friars from the Philip
pines is not now expected, but it is
believed that the result desired can
be accomplished by an arrangement
for the substitution of friars of other
nationality and the principal issue at
present is as to the time within which
this change may be brought about.

"H0LDUP" FAILED
Crank Demanded $40, 200 at National
Bank of Commerce.

X. c. July 12.-"Give me $4,000,
and give it to me quick"
This startling demand, which as
sailed the ears of Charles II. Moore.
assistant cashier of the National Bank
of Commerce, about O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, caused that official to
glance up in surprise.
The man who had made the demand
was seemingly either drunk or de-
mented, but the instrument with which
he threatened Mr.. Moore was not
revolver but small knife. The
stranger held the half opened blade of
the knife in his hand and pointed the
handle at Mr.. Moore, giving the
weapon as much as possible the APP
pearance of revolver.
Mr.. Moore took in the situation at a
glance and in reply to the strangers
demand smilingly replied:
81 can't give you $4,000. have
but 30 cents"
"Then give me $40, ,OOO," said the
stranger.
Mr.. Moore again replied lightly,
but the man on the other side of the
railing, although evidently ready to
compromise, was getting angry and
did not want to be trihed with. His
third command was:
"Give me $40, 600 and be o.
quick about it.'
When the would-be highwaymen
made his first demand upon Mr..
Moore, the latter was talking to VIII
Tape, one of the bank IS bookkeepers.
AS soon as Tape saw what was going
on he started for the gate leading to
the part of the bank in which the
stranger stood. The latter divining
that an effort was TO be made to cap
ture him. turned his counterfeit weap-
on upon Tape and exclaimed;
Don't you come near me. / don't
want to have anything to do with
you"
Tape continued to advance upon
the man, whose ferocity cropped out
again, as with vigorous curses, he
ordered Tape to, Get back, or I'll
kin YOU" AS the knife would have
made dangerous weapon had it's
owner thought to use it in natural
manner instead of making believe it
was a weapon of another sort, Tape
remained on the safe side of the rail-
ing.
BY this time the stranger had de-
cided that it was not a good day to
hold up a bank so he gave up the at
tempt and wandered out into the hall
way, one of the Office boys of the bank
being sent out in the meantime to find
policeman. The applicant for riches,
upon reaching the hallway, changed
his tactics and began accosting peo-
pie who passed in and out. Among
these to whom he spoke was woman.
Suddedly he conceived whim to 90
up in the elevator, but in this he was
baked by the man in charge.
