Telephone Girls Lose. Strike.

Telephone Girls Lose Strike.
In. all probability the strike of the
telephone girls has been lost. The
Grievance Committee on Monday held
conference with President .Moulton
Of the Twin City Telephone Company,
and the matters in dispute was dis
cussed at length. President Moulton
stood pat, insisting that the demands
made by the company were for the
maintenance of dicipline and could not
befaltered. He asserted that the griev-
ances of the strikers had been greatly
magnified. The company had exper-
fenced no difficulty in supplying the
places of the strikers, and now every
thing is running smoothly. The COM
nittee, therefore, will be compelled to
isfactory to the striking girls.
May Form Labor Party.
The agitation in labor circles caused
by the injunction granted by judge
Cray against the International Elec-
trical Workers Union and the Build
ing Trades Council of this city, con-
tinues to increase instead of subsiding,
resembling rather the effest of a peb-
bic thrown into the placid waters of
a" pool. Two things may probably re-
suit from this agitation. One is the in
stitution. of impeachment proceedings
against Judge Cray, and the other is
the; placing Of an out-and- -out labor
ticket In the:he1d at the next election.
Something may come of the latter
movement, but although the inner cir
re- frHN ~S@4
parchment has been thoroughly can
vassed, 1t Is doubtful If the matter will
reach any 9th her stage than the one in
discussion It is: a question if Judge
could be impeached merely for an ex-
cess Of duty. An appeal to the Su-
preme Court may remedy such error,
If the lower court has erred. That the
appeal will be. taken has been prac-
tically decided upon.
-. a Strong Union.
In proportion to the membership
the Plastersers' Union is the strongest
union In Minneapolis, from a financial
standpoint. Their initiation fee is
high-$50-zand the dues are CORE
spondingly high. With three excep-
tions every plasterer in the city is a
member of the union. They have had
no strikes of lockouts since 1895. Dur
ing this long period Of quiet they have
carefully husbanded their resources
and to-day their exchequer is full tc
repletion. All are working at the scale
$4.5o:%per day. and there is no cloud on

Organizing the Walters.
State Organizer Carver of the Am
erican Federation Of Labor, and Miss
Mae Ghetto, President of the Women's
Union Label League, have been striv-
ing earnestly to organize the men and
women walters of the city, but thus
far they have met with but little sue
cess The meeting last evening (Mon-
day. was a complete failure, only half
dozen walters and mattresses being
present. This is the third meeting held
to organize them, and it begins to look
as If the movement would have to be
abandoned for the present, at least
although Mr.. Carver and Miss Ohattc
are not disn1ayed and will hold another
meeting on next Friday evening.
In direct and marked contrast to the
apathy exhibited by the walters and
mattresses toward organization is the
eagerness with which the saw mill en-
ployes have seized the opportunity te
form a union. Mr.. Carver has beer

Report OF Officers.
One Of the pleasing events Of the
meeting was the report Of several off,
GERS. President Pereaults report was
able, concise and interesting. He paid
a tribute to the delegates for their
faithful and earnest attention to the

by the Trades assembly as follows:
Electrical Workers strike settled by.

A New Species Of Bird.

A new species of bird has been dis
covered in Lincoln county by A. Leroy,
the travelling agent of the Oregon In
formation Bureau, and has been added
temporarily to the exhibit of natural
products at the Union Depot. 1t may
ultimately be added to the museum at
the City Hall maintained by Colonel l..
l.. Hawkins, who may be asked to give
it name. 1t yearns for name.
The bird is remarkable, first OF all,
in having smooth skin, the color of
potato, and utterly devoid of feathers
except solitary one in the tail. Its
body is round and fat and full-chested.
Its head is also round, but rather elon-
gated, and is adorned with natural
growth of whiskers which any one but
naturalist would say were potato
sprouts. There is similar protuber-
ance lust below the solitary tail feather.
the eyes are large, round and black,
strongly resembling shoe-bnttons. The
legs are thin, straight and brittle as
dried twigs.
Altogether the freak would undonbt'
edly be taken for vegetable product il
its characteristics we're not so decidedly
those of a bird. But it lacks one essen
tial equipment of bird wings. But
for this deficiency and the long tail
feather it. might be taken for dodo
Mr.. Leroy cannot find a name Tor 1t
nor can George L. Burrill, the secretary
of the bureau, so they both refer th'
task to Colonel Hawkins. He can siz'

SUICIDE AT HARLAN.
Vera Ridenour Ends Her Life
by Taking Poison.

Vera, the 17-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Ridenour of Harlan,
committed suicide about $50 Monday
evening by taking carbolic acid.
The only known reason for the rash
act was contained in brief note
written, apparently, after she had
taken the poison, bidding her folks
good bye" and "that she was tired of
life" Her mother, who was preparing
the evening meal, noticed that she
looked and acted strange but supposing
it due to some minor disorder, told her
she had better lie down for while.
A younger sister coming into the room
soon after found her speechless. She
lived but short time. An empty two
ounce vial that had contained carbolic
acid was found near her, she had
emptied the acid into teacup and
drank the entire contents.
In response to u telegram from the
father early Monday morning Sheriff
Ross, accompanied by acting Corone
DR.. F. M. Carter, repaired to the scene
Of the suicide. A coroner's jury o
the following we're empaneled:
G. A. Davis, Gus Popke, j. II. Brown
Hord Henderson, John Mischler ant
B. F. Grant, foreman.
The verdict of the jury was that tn
deceased had came to. her death b
swallowing carbolic acid with suicida
intent.
The funeral services were conducte
by Wesley January at the Harlan cemt
terry Wednesday in the presence of
large number of people.
The family have the deepest syn
!. pathy of the community.

The Edison Moving Picture and H.

entertainments at Woodmen Hall as
advertised for last Friday and Saturday
evenings to large audiences. The NOV
inc views consisted of scenes from the
Spanish American war, comic sketches
wherein the genus tramp and a white

The city marshal has posted notices
warning people against going near the
Jail and holding communication with
the prisoner, L. d. Dole, who is confined
therein. Since Dole's raiions were
reduced to bread and water, some bows
with more or less kindly intentions
have administered to the comforts Of
the prisoner by passing luxuries not
supposed to be upon his bill of fare
through the bars. Tuesday morning
Willie Rogers was caught in the act
by Marshal Hall who promptly placed
him in durance vile with Mr.. Dole.
After being left to reflect upon the
lot of captured transgressor of the
law for short time, he was brought
before City Recorder Krogstad, who
reprimanded him for his nanghtiness
and ordered his release, cautioning him
against repeating the offense. But the
caution had no effect as the boy was
hardly out OF custody before he was
again seen in the vicinity OF the jail.
Wednesday evening Deputy Marshal
Joe Hill found him once more passing
something through the bars, and i'm
mediatly locked him up. 1t is hoped
that short confinement may hare q
tendency to break the Svengalia like
influence that Dole appears to have
over the boy.

OIL SHIP FULLERTON

The Fullerton, which arrived in port
Saturday forenoon, got her present load
Of oil at Ventura. At that place she
was living at about 200 feet distant
from the wharf. She had almost fin
ished her loading when the vessel be-
gan to bump on the bottom. Captain
Mcdonald Immediately had his hose
disconnected and stood out to sea and
as II would take only few hundred
barrels more to fiji up the vessels
tanks he did not take the trouble TO
connect again but started for this port.
As the sea bottom at Ventura is sandy
the vessel did not suffer any damage
The Fullerton's trip from Ventura to
this port was a very tedious one,
marked by battling and unfavorable
winds and total absence of the trades.
During the voyage on March &c, when
the vessel was in latitude 24.4G and
longitude 1887, she passed a ships
lower mast with topmast attached. The
mast was scraped bright and did not
look as If II had been in the water long.
In all probability this mast Is a relic of
the unfortunate ship Florence, which
left Tacoma several months ago and
which was never heard of since.
The Fullerton, besides her cargo of
almost $1,000 barrels of oil, brings on
her deck five large tanks for the Oahu
Railroad company, which are to be
used for carrying fuel oil out to the
plantations on the railroad line. These
tanks have a capacity of 1871 barrels
each.
