Some of our Socialist friends
are kicking because we didnot
publish the Socialist vote in the
county in our election table.
The Times telphoned to Logan
for the Socialist returns, but
only in about one township in
five was the returns of that
party put ON the outside of the
envelope, consequently the vote
cannot be published until the
returns are officially opened
next Monday by the board of
supervisors.

A Novelty in Railroad E,..easien.

A Novelty In Railroad E,..ca.isn.
The novel project of running
a palatial special train from
Chicago to New Orleans and
return, a distance of nearly
1000 miles, for the sole benefit
of competitors was successfully
carried out by the officials of
the Illinois Central Railroad
last week. Nearly 100 general
passenger agents and members
of their families were the guests
of the Illinois Central during
the trip, everything, including
musical entertainments i'm the
observation car, being provided
by the company. Had anyone
undertaken to purchase the ser
vice and entertainment pro-
vided the cost would not have
been far from $4,000. The
train was, so to speak, an edi-
ton de luxe, the Pullman Com
pany certifying that the new
cars furnished were the finest
ever manufactured by them,
and the engineers and train
crew were the most expert in
the employ of the railroad
company.
The novelty of the affair con-
sists largely in the fact that a
few years ago railroad com
panles strova to keep from
competitors accurate Knowledge
of conditions along their lines
Of railroad. Excluding the
com ELEMENTARY feature, the
main purpose of the Illinois
Central expedition was to edu-
cate competing lines regarding
the uneXcelled transportation
facilities possessed by that CON-
pany, and the possibilities
whieh lie in the development
of the South. Although pro-
gresslve men, the general pas
senger agents who were on the
trip We're amazed to learn that
the Illinois Central now prac-
tically has q double track sys-
tenn ali the way between Chi
eago and New O..;eans and a
rock ballasted roadbed with few
grades and curves, which is
capable of accommodating an
enormous volume of traffic.
They were alsosurprised at tie
phenomenal commercial and
indu strial awakening which tie
South iseXperiencing, and they
will spread the news regarding
|bOth facts for months to come.
In doing this they will lie
advertising the South most ef-
fectively and promoting travel
there from every quarter of the
'country. Naturally the Illinois
central will get the benefit of
this, for, in short, it has re-
cruited a force of 100 live adj
yertlslng agents from among
I the ranks Of its active Compel
|ltors. Under railroad methods
in vogue prior to the era of
Community of interests" such
an undertaking would have
been hailed as suicidal. Chi

Chicago Chronicle:
A sudden alarm to stop
strikes and to avoid demands
to employers has been sounded
by James O'Connell, interna-
tional president Of the machin-
lists union, and is causing con-
siderable comment among MT
chlnists everywhere. Tie state
ments made by President
O'Conncll in a circular letter
sent to every union under his
control strike honc with cspec-
lal emphasis in Chicago because
5 per cent of all the union ma
chinists in the city are idle and
there is a tendency to lay off
more men.
To relieve their men from
probable hardship local officers
are endeavoring to induce CHI
ployers who contemplate laying
off aachinists to resci.t to tie
eight-bour day, thereby &C.
creasing the sggregate wages
while retaining the number CT
men employed. Several firms
have already adopted this plan,
among them Haywood & Wake
field, the Chicago & Northwest
eml Railway Company, the ILL
ncis Central Railroad Company
and the Crane company. In
the Chicago district of .ethe
Pennsylvania limos and the
Lake Shore railroad Is rer
ce 1t Of the nlac;ainists usually
employed are out of work.
SURPLUS IN LABOR MARKET.
Organizer Role2ick Of the
railway machinists said yester-
day: There seems to be con-
certcd action on the part of the
railroad employers to create a
surplus in the labor market,
though l believe it will be only
temporary. The Rock Island
for the first time in its history
has ceased hiring men"
The condition of the labor
market and the continued de
|mands of organized labor dur
ing the last few months are..Ee-
iaved to have prompted the
words OF caution from Presi-
dent O'Connell and the national
executive board Of the machin-
lists union. In the circular let
ter President O'Connell, among
other things, said: "The gen
eral executive board will not
approve of any strikes or a
claim for benefits Of any kind
unless the same has been APP
proved by the board before the
strike or strikes occurred. This
is imperative and you are
strongly advised to govern
yourselves accordingly if you
expect financial assistance
from the grand LODGE
OVER 100 STRIKES ON HAND.
Eve have at the present
time over 100 strikes upon our
list and our financial income is
by no means sufficiently large
to keep pace with the drain
upon the grand lodge for strike
benefits. We are drawing upon
our reserve fund almost daily
and if many of our present
strikes are notspeedily adjusted
it may be necessary that a spe-
cial assessment be levied at an
early date. No more strikes
will be permitted Except where
the same is absolutely forced
upon us to protect the cardinal
principles of our association
until we largely reduce the
number of strikes on our hands
at this time"

Ssheei Nsfes,

DR.. DeVore came UP to the
Second Ward building yester-
day in response to an invitation
of long standing and talked to
the eighth grade pupils about
his trip abroad. The pupils
manifested great interest and
asked many questions which
were very promptly and APP
propriately answered. We wish
to express our appreciation of
DR.. DeVore's courtesy. We
hope to have the pleasure of
having him talk to the high
school pupils. He will certain
ly have an appreciative aud
fence.
The teachers in the different
wards have been trying very
hard to keep the school grounds
pavements and streets near the
scoool yards free from waste
paper. We note quite an inn
provement in this line at Third
Ward. The pupils seem to be
responding very nicely. Let us
exercise more care yet. Pupils
are manifesting an interest in
this step to good citizenship.

AID FoR KANSAS CITY.


Relief Committee Asks For More
Help For Sufferers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 15.-The
relief committee of Kansas City, Kan,
has given out the following:
"In connection with relief for the
flood sufferers in Kansas City, Kan, II
is very important that the people Of
the United States should understand
that there are two Kansas Citys-
Kansas City in Missouri, with about
2S0,00O people, and Kansas City in
Kansas, with over 10000 people, ad-
joining the former city on the west
and separated from it by the state line;
that each city has a separate organiza-
ton for the relief of it's flood sufferers
and that in Kansas City, Kan, an area
including $4,000 people has been swept
by rushing flood of from ten to thirty
feet in depth which has carried away
more than one-third of the houses in
this district, has almost ruined anoth-
er third and that in the entire district
the merchandise, household goods and
clothing have either been washed away
submersion and a deposit in all build
ings of from two to four feet of mud.
with the falling of the water en-
ployment to large number has been
given and the conditions thereby much
improved. There remain, however,
many thousands dependent on charity
for shelter, food, clothing and the most
meager outfit of cooking utensils and
furniture. These cannot be supplied
without outside aid, and unless it is
furnished to a large amount the most
dire suffering and widespread sickness
and even death must result. No more
worthy or urgent cause can be present
ed than that of the flood sufferers of
Kansas City, Kan, and we appeal to
the generous people of the country to
aid in supplying these pressing needs
of our stricken people. Money and sup
plies should be sent to T. B. Gilbert,
Mayor of Kansas City, Kan"
The first Sunday trading at the stock
yards in the history of the local mar
ket prevailed here yesterday, all de-
partments being open. The business
of buying and selling cattle and hogs
progressed the same as on a weekday.
The market was kept open at the re-
quest of shippers and feeders close to
Kansas City, who have experienced
difficulty in obtaining feed because of
the conditions resulting from the re-
cent flood.

WRECK OF THE THOMAS.

Captains Wife Was Killed and Many
Senmen Injured.
PORTLAND, Me-, June 15.-One life
was lost by the wrecking of the new
five masted schooner Washington b.
Thomas of Thomaston, Me-, on STRAIT
tons island, four miles off Old Or
chard, while bound with 1000 tons of
soft coal from Norfolk, Va, for Port
land. The wife of Captain William J..
Lermond, to whom he was married a
year ago, was killed by the immense
waves breaking in the cabin. Her body
was washed away in the darkness and
not recovered.
Captain Lermond and the crew of
thirteen men were rescued by volun-
teer life saving crew. One seaman had
leg broken, and the captain, engineer
and four seamen were badly bruised.
The Thomas was broken up and prac-
tically is total loss. Tons of wreck
age was washed ashore at Old Or
chard.
The Thomas was anchored off STRAIT
on island and during the night drifted
from her anchorage on to the island.
Without a seconds warning there
came a crash as the schooner tore her
way over one rock to strike another a
few moments later, then to drive hard
and fast on the reef on the southerly
end of the outer side of the island.
When the first shock came Mrs. Ler-
mond, her stepson and the first mates
son were in the cabin, but took refuge
on the roof of the deck house. Her hus-
band and crew protected her as well as
they could, but nothing could with
stand the fearful seas, and she was
forced to return to the cabin. The rush
ing waters broke the bulllhead separat-
ing the stateroom from the saloon par
tition, striking Mrs. Lermond on the
head and rendering her unconscious.
Captain Lermond tried to- drag his
wife to the companionway, but the in
rushing flood swept her from his grasp,
and she was lost in the darkness. The
captain and the two boys worked their
way to the forecastle, expecting that
everybody forward had been lost but
found all safely sheltered there, al
though badly bruised and injured in
their struggle for life.

Arrives Here and Tells of Islands
Continued Development. q.
NEW YORK, June Ex-Governor
William H. Hunt of Porto Rico has ar
rived here. He said there was no truth
in the rumor that he would resign.
Speaking of Porto Rico, he said:
"There has been continued develop
ment in the island during the closing
fiscal year. Business conditions have
steadily improved and commercial re-
lations between the Porto Ricans and
the people of the United States have
become greatly extended. Trade sta
tistics show, for example, that from
January to June of this year more
than $500000 worth of coffee was ex-
ported to the United States against
only $21, 900 worth in the same period
last year. Coffee planters find encour-
agement in the belief that the New
York market is at last opening to Porto
Rico coffee, which is of uneXcelled
quality. Americans are investing large
ly in orange cultivation, and the value
of exports in this fruit is twenty fold
greater than last year. Over half a
million dollars worth of sugar has
been sent north since Jan. 1, which is a
heavy increase over last year. Sugar is
the great staple product at present.
The tobacco manufacturers of the Unit
ed States are now importing the leaf
from the island, indicating an increased
demand for Porto Rico cigars. Much
tobacco is being cultivated under cam
vas, with good results.
Interior development is very salts
factory The American Steam Rail-
road company has built more than
twenty miles of additional line, which
will connect the principal cities, and
work is about to begin on the electric
railroad between Ponce and San Juan.
American capital and enterprise are
beginning to work great changes in
