.HYPNoTlsT IN GRAVE sLUMRER.
Angry at Being Awakened. Altho He
Almost Drowned.

| Reading, Pa, June 30.-Professor w.
w. kretz hypnotist, feels that he has
played the hero Ill in vain. He hypno-
tized himself yesterday afternoon, and
surrounded by admirins friends was
buried six feet deep in the fair grounds.
His friends were to have resurrected
him this evening, twenty-four hours
after the burial, but the professor for
got to consult the weather man. and he
barely escaped g. watery grave.
AT midnight q rainstorm began and
the bloodhounds that had been placed
on guard at the grave promptly de-
serted Kretz's friends slept sweetly OF.
in a nearby house, and when they
awoke at 6 o'clock this morning they
were terrified to find the grave under
water. The rubber tube leading to the
coffin was still exposed and this gave
them hope that their leader was still
alive. They yelled down the tube. but
there were no responses. Then there
was an exhunlation, so speedily con-
Quoted that it would make profession
al grave robber green with envy.
Finally the coffin was reached and the
lid torn off. kretz was found asleep in
several inches of water. Had his
friends delayed a few minutes more he
would have drowned.
With good deal of difficulty Kretz
was awakened and Immediately created
a row, declaring there was no need to
dig him up, as ne would not have been
drowned. He had intended to sleep on
until the twenty-four hours had ex
pired, and he is very angry because his
cIur,bar was jnterrllnted

U. P. MACHINsTs QUIT
Order for Strike of All Machinists on
the Union Pacific System Takes Ef-
feet Today-GeneraIly obeyed.

Omaha, June 30.-The order author
izing a strike of all machinists on the
Union Pacific system went into effect
at 10 o'clock this morning. There We're
few men left to walk out in Omaha and
Council Bluffs, however, the machine
shops having been closed down Friday.
Nobody except the machinists knew
at what hour the walk-out would oc-
in suspense until the men should stop
work. Few reports have been received
from the outside shops, but it is un-
derstood the order issued from the ex-
ecutive committee of the International
Machinists Union merely authorized
a strike. and that vote will be taken
by the local unions before the actual
walllout occurs. In Omaha this prelim-
mary step has been taken. There will
be about 1,700 men affected by the
strike. This includes moulders and
boilermakers who have alread struck,
those who are locked out and those
who are expected to obey the strike
order. A dispatch received from Chey-
enne states a dozen machinists and
helpers, who remained on duty after
the closing of the shops at that place
last week, went on a strike today. This
makes nearly 700 men who are on a
strike or thrown out of employment by
the CLOSING of the shops at that point.
Reports received at railroad headquar-
ters state that the machinists at Grand
Island, Neb., and Evanston, Wyo., did
not strike.
Vice President Wilson, of the ma
chnists' union, is in the city. and
Grand President James O'Connell is
expected in day or two.
The chairmen of the boards of ad-
iustment of the different branches of
trainmen were in the city today, but
declared their presence here has moth
ing to do with the strike.
A large meeting of machinists was In
progress during the day at Labor Tenn
pie. behind closed doors.
All the men in the North Platte, Neb,
shops, with three exceptions, walked
out. There remains but one boiler
maker and two machinists who have
volunteered to work. Sixteen union
men an one nom union man at Arm
strong, Kansas, struck.
Sixteen non union men and one union
man and nineteen apprentices refused
to go out.

gus money, dies, crucibles, electric bat
teries, and all the paraphernalia used
by counterfeiters We're found. The dis
covery caused sensation in the neigh
borhood and a detail of police was
called from the Desplaines street sta
ton to prevent a mob of hundreds of
people from looting the chamber of its
spurious wealth.
Judging from the amount of counter
felt money and the completeness of the
outfit the police believe they have
found the haunt of a gang of counter
feiters, whose operations may have eX-
tended thruout the entire country. By
the aid of confederates,, who are be-
lieved to have circulated the bogus
money, the aggregate amount of the
money disposed of is believed to have
footed up hundreds of thousands of
dollars. According to Captain Porter
of the United States secret service. the
money was cleverly coined and printed
and would defy detection by most eX-
merits
