Number of Tickets Sold and Interest
in 1t Increasing Every Day.
Interest in the Auditorium Stock
Contest, which was opened in Omaha
July 1, has increased steadily every
day since that time and the project
promises to be a great success in eV-
cry way. The plan adopted for dispos-
ing of a sufficient amount of the COM
mon stock of the Omaha Auditorium
Company to complete and furnish
what will be the largest and handsom-
est building of its kind in the north
west, is very simple. The common
stock has been divided into shares of
twenty-five cents each, and with each
share the purchaser is given two
guesses, one on a special prize and one
on list of 1.OO1 prizes.
The capital prize of $4,000 in gold
contributed by the Defiance Starch
Co. of Omaha, Neb., and 1000 other
prizes, ranging in value from $3.50 up
to $3,500, contributed by the business
men of Omaha, will be awarded i'm
mediately after the election next No
vember, but the contest for them has
already opened, and will close Octo-
ber %, or as much sooner as the
shares of stock are sold. The capital
prize will be awarded to the person
guessing closest to the total vote
which will be cast for governor of
New York, November 4, 1902, and the
othe,' prizes to the 1000 persons max
ing the next closest guesses. The total
vote at the last five elections was:
1891, 1,165,0S5; 1894, 1,275,671; 1896,
1,434 4,O46; 1898, 1853, 100; 1900. 1885,
500.
There will be seven more special
cash prizes, to be awarded the first and
fifteenth of each month until Novem-
Der, and persons buying tickets now
have one guess with each share of
stock on them as we'll as on the other
prizes. Each special prize will be in
cash, and not less than $50 nor more
than $780, The prize, divided into
small bills and "changs' will be di-
vided and put into two sacks without
being counted, and the person CUES
sing nearest the amount in the larger
sack will be given the contents of both
sacks. The contest is not confined to
residents of Omaha or limited to any
number of tickets. Anyone desiring
further information or tickets should
address Omaha Auditorium Co.,
Omaha, Nebraska.

WORK ONCE MORE
STRIKING FREIGHT HANDLERS
TAKE THEIR OLD PLACES.
ACTIVITY AGAIN is THE ORDER
immense Quantities of Freight Rush.
ed Out by the Wholesale Merchants
Estimated Cost of the Strike is
Ten Million Dollars.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Renewed activ-
ity on the part of Chicago business
men followed the settlement of the
freight handlers and teamsters' strike
yesterday and at the close of business
hours thousands of tons of freight
had been sent to and from the various
freight depots. Every one of the a.
900 who could obtain employment had
returned to work by 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. The strike, it is estimated,
cost the business men of Chicago $10,-
100000 and in order to guard against
a contingency in the future they are
preparing to inaugurate an educa-
tiona campaign in opposition to the
sympathetic strike.
The labor unions will be asked to
forego the use of this impotent
weapon. Business interests which
suffered during the strike will join in
pledging themselves, it is said, not to
sign union agreements which do not
guard them against these strikes.
On the other hand the labor unions
are fighting to secure the right to alb
rogate agreements for the purpose of
ordering sympathetic strikes.
The freight handlers blame the ma
tional officers of the teamsters for the
loss of the strike. They declare that
the strike shows the necessity for in
cooperating in al agreements re-
servation which will permit strikes.
Credit for the settlement rests with
the state board of arbitration. 1t was
the adoption of the suggestion of that
board which led to the action of the
freight handlers union in declaring
the struggle with the railroads at an
end.
At the same time it is probable that
even had the state board not made it's
suggestions, the fight would have been
practically over today, as the major
ity of the freight handlers had re-
turned to work beore the mass meet
ing at which the strike was called
off officially had convened. 1t was a
knowledge of this fact that had much
to do with the action taken by the
union. However, the proposition made
by the state board of arbitration en-
abled the freight handlers to retire
gracefully from the field.

What Mlaht Have Been.

Sonoma, Mich, July 21st.-Mr. De-
los Hutchins of this place says: IF
l could have had Dodd's Kidney Pills
25 years ago would not now be Grip
pied as l am"
Mr Hutchins spent from 1861 to
1864 in the swamps Of Louisiana as
a northern soldier and with the re-
suit that he contracted Rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr..
Fred Parker, the local druggist, ad-
vised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first two boxes did not seem
to help him very much, but Mr.. Park
er, knowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills
would eventually cure him, pressed
Mr.. Hutchins to continue and by the
time four boxes were used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip, and legs were
entirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins says:
81 can not tell you how much better
| am feeling. If it were not for the
way my hands, feet, and knees are
drawn out of shape l would be about
as good as ever" ~

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.


Not infrequently a young woman
dnds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorCh, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each Cne with a blunt
knife, and with the edge Of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

DREAM OF CECIL RHODES.
Before Many Years Opening Up of
Dark Continent by Rail.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Before
many years the world may be aston
ished to find that the long fostered
dream of the late Cecil Rhodes for
the oening up of the Dark Continent
has become reality, and that con-
secutive line of steel rails will
stretch from Cairo to Cape Town.
The state department made public to-
day an interesting report on railroad
development in Africa from United
States Consul Ravendal, at Beirut,
bearing date of May 10. The consul
says that by an agreement signed at
Brussels the previous month by Rob-
ert Williams with the king of the
Belgians the German route was aban-
doned and the railway from Cairo to
the cape is to be carried through the
Congo Free State to the upper wat
ers Of the Nile. From Stanley Falls
on the upper Congo a railroad is to
be built to Mahagi on Lake Albert
Nyanza, and this connection will sup
ply the missing link between the cape
and Egyptian railways.

Blackberry Crop.

All things considered, says Country
Life in America, the blackberry has
been our most profitable bush fruit.
1t is a heavy cropper, fairly reliable
yielder, easily picked, continues many
years in profitable fruitfulness, and
generally is in good demand It's dis
advantages are softness for long-dis-
tance shipment, slight tendency to
scald. and a season of fruiting that
brings it into direct competition with
peaches. However, this real disadvan-
tage Of season often becomes a decided
advantage during a short peach crop,
which often occurs. 1t then has the
market to itself without a dangerous
competitor.

eALFoUR IS IN THE CHAIR.
New Premier Presides at the First
Meeting of the New Cabinet.

LONDON, July 18.-The premier,
A. j. Balfour, presided in the foreign
Office at the first cabinet meeting of
the new administration.
The colonial secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, was sufficiently recov-
cred from the effects of the cab acci-
dent to be able to attend. He was
pale, but otherwise showed no signs
of his injuries.
The meeting of the cabinet gave
fresh impetus to the reconstruction
reports. The most interesting of
these for America is the suggestion
that the duke of Marlborough will
succeed Lord Curzon of kendleston
as viceroy of India, but there is not
the least possibility of any such ap-
pointment.
1t apears very doubtful if Lord Cur
Zon will come home before the ex-
piration of his term of Office AS a
matter of fact, there is no appoint
ment which could be offered him, ex-
cept the foreign Office, which would
be promotion from the viceroyalty
of India, and there Is no indication
that Lord Lansdowne has any inten-
tion of retiring.

VENICE, Italy, July 1S.-Offers of

Real Shetland ponies, says Country
Life in America, are scarcer than
most persons imagine. At last ac-
counts there were only a couple of
thousand, roughly speaking, on their
native isles, and they are rapidly be-
ing exported or spoiled by the admix-
ture of other and larger breeds. There
are comparatively few pure Shetlands
in this country and many of the ponies
offered for sale by dealers as such are
really half-breeds or Iceland ponies.
