A GOOD HICKORY SWITCH
Brings Boys Strike at Chicago to a
Sudden Pause.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 31.-A good hickory
switch was successfully used to quell 4
strike in Chicago. Driven to despera
ton by incipient uprisings of youthful
employees all over the city, due to the
success of the messenger boys rebel
lion. John Fitzpatrick. organizer of the
Chicago Federation OF Labor, had re
course to the primitive weapon when
mis- office was invaded by an infantile
delegation requesting the assistance of
his organization.
About 100 boys in the employ of the
American District Telegraph co. went
on Strike for a raise in wages to IS a
week With a rush they sent a COM
mittee to Organizer Fitzpatrick and
asked his assistance in securing the
advance in wages, and. perhaps, in
forming union. These boys had hardly
been disposed of when a committee of
20 boys in knee pants, who said they
We're the ..buy-outs' of six wholesale
drug stores in the city and that they
mad gone a strike for an increase IN
wages, demanded his assistance.
Reaching for switch on the top OF
his desk, he told them they were the
limit" for strikers, heard their story
and, with the switch in his hand, sent
them back to work, promising to see
the managers of the drug houses an

About 60 ''buy-outS" or errand boys
in the wholesale drug houses walked
out They said they were receiving

LEvEEs ARE UNSAFE.
New Orleans in Constant Dancer fron,
High Water

Washington, July 31.-Constant dan
ger of destruction during the time CT
high water threatens 100000 residents
of New Orleans on account of the poor
construction of the levees protecting
part of the Crescent city, according
to the report of Maj. George Nee. Der
by, Corps of Engineers, u. S. A., Just
received at the war department. He
urged that the risk, which is lightly
regarded because the levees have never
yet broken in time of high water,
should be promptly obviated before a
great disaster will have paid a fearful
price for negligence. He points out
that the levees are for miles construct
ed at the very edge of the river banks
which are constantly washed out and
caved in, and that if a crevasse in the
levee occurs in time of high water
nothing could prevent a terrible loss
of life and property.
Behind the report, which is n part
of the report of the Mississippi river
commission. lies a story of differences
between the army engineers who su-
perintend the work of dredging and
levee construction done by the govern
ilcit, anu tlC municipal dulHOTlllsS
who render like service in the work
carried on by the city of New Orleans
The engineers have held for a long
time that the work done by the city
was incomplete and unsafe Frequent
protests have been made and the feel
ing over the matter has come to be
quite pronounced. Engineers here who
are familiar with the situation declare
that the city government of New Or
leans is feeling bindly secure because
an accident of the kind feared has
never occurred in the past.
Maj. Derby speaks in his report of
river at New Orleans in repairing the
banks and protecting them so as to
give permanency to the shore line to
permit the construction of elevators,
wharves and other shipping facilities
He speaks of the danger of being I'M
derwashed which threatens the banks
Of the river and says:
Consequently no levee located with
in 200 feet of such a bank can be con-
sidered entirely safe, however good a
levee it may be otherwise, for there is
always a chance of its caving into the
river at high water. OF course such
a risk would not generally be a great
one. since high water caves are of rare
occurrence, and the results of a Gre
vase are not usually overwhelming.
But / wish to call attention to the
fact that in the city of New Orleans
there are many thousand feet of levee
located on the edge of such banks as
| have described, and we have a pop
ulation of probably 100000 people who
are living behind these levees on low
land in one-stOry frame buildings, so
that sudden crevasse occurring in the
levee line of the city at or near high
water would probably be most disas-
trous and accompanied by great loss
of life.
1T is, in my Judgment a great mis-
take to take this risk a year longer
than is absolutely necessary, and |
would recommend that funds be pro-
vided to complete the project for the
protection of the banks as promptly
as practicable, instead of at only one
sixth the rate which has been recon-
mended for the past 10 years.

The Cuban Republic,

Conditions in Cuba have been much i'm
proved since the Americans took control
of affairs. and since they are now free to
manage their own affairs the question
arises as to their ability to maintain self
government The experiment will be
watched with much interest. In this case
it is worthy experiment, but if you are
sickly it is not advisable to experiment
with any of the many so-called health re-
storers that have no merit. The only way
to recover your health is to perfect the di-
gestion, keep the bowels open and the
blood pure For this purpose you cannot
find better or more reliable medicine
than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Try it
for heartburn. beleEing. Indigestion. dys-
pepsia. constipation, bilieusness or maia-
