Suggestions have been made that a

Miss Howell's READING,

Those who heard Miss Howell last
evening in Library hall enjoyed a
treat. Her reading of Monsieur Beau
caire, by Booth Harrington, was fine.
The program was opened by Miss
Pratt and Professor Blondin, who rem
dered "Marsailles." Miss Howell was
handsomely gowned in white satin,
decorated with red roses and her hair
was dressed in a style in keeping with
the time in which the story was laid.

Dubuque, Iowa is Excited

Freight Handlers Strike at Kansas City is

Des Moines, Iowa, June 20.-Gover-
nor Cummin, upon receipt of advices
that a crisis was approaching in the
street railway strike at Dubuque is
sued orders today mobilizing three ad-
ditional companies of militia at that
point
Governor Cummin's action was bas-
ed upon numerous messages from the
mayor, sheriff and leading citizens of
Dubuque, expressing grave fears that
tonight would witness an outbreak on
the part of the street railway strikers
and their sympathizers that might cul-
inmate in setting fire to some of the
leading places of business. The situa-
tion is reported as exceedingly criti-
cal. The strike was instituted May Z,
since which time all efforts to operate
street cars in Dubuque have precipi-
tated rioting. Repeating urgent ap-
peals have been made to the governor
to send additional troops, the sheriff
and mayor declaring that the local
police and sheriff's force, even when
supplemented by the local company of
militia, was helpless in the face of the
mob of strike sympathizers. The gov
ernor refused to do more than hold
the first battalion in readiness to rush
to Dubuque upon demands of fresh
outbreak.
Today, however, alarming advices
concerning a secretly planned out
break tonight, compelled him to act
He telegraphed to Dubuque authorities
that the troops are not there for the
purpose of assisting in the fight
against the strikers in any way other
than to preserve the peace at all haz-

THE SPECIALS RUN.

X. H. Brown, an employe of Ian
tidy & Son on the Santa Fe cutoff. is
at the st. Joseph's hospital.
Brown was on work train yester-
day just out of Belen. and near the
first blacksmith shop beyond the
bridge, when he fell off and his right
arm was caught and crushed at the
elbow. After the cars had passed
over him he showed wonderful nerve
by getting up and walking to the
blacksmith shop, where he remarked
on being asked what was the mat.
ter: 81 guess | got one of my fins
crushed" The blood was flowing by
this time in a way that would prove
fatal in a very short time if medical
aid could not ne had. He was at once
hustled back to Belen.
A special was at once made up for
this city. The injured man and DR..
Balte of Belen got aboard and others.
and double quick trip was made to
this city. 1t was sort of hair raiser,
too. The distance is thirty-one and
two-tenths miles and this journey was
made in just twenty-seven minutes.
Here o. w. Strong's Sons ambulance
met the special, and quick time was
made to the hospital, too. 1t was just
forty-five minutes from the time that
the injured man left Belen to the time
he was laid on the operatIu. able at
st. Joaeph's hospitai.
Here the arm was amputated by
Drs. Wroth, Spargo and Balte just
above the elbow.
Mr. Brown is resting as well as
could be expected at the hospital to-
day, and if rothing new sets in will
recover.

DISTRICT COURT.
Judge Baker Still Grinding Out Work
in the Mill Of Justice.
C0CHlTl MINING CASE.

The court has been for the past
few days engaged in the trial of the
case of the General Electric company
of Chicago against the Cochiti Gold
Mining company and its receiver. The
electric company alleges that it sold
to the mining company the electrical
machinery of many thousand dollars
value, as described in the contract be-
tween the parties, and that title to the
property sold was not to rest in the
mining company until it was fully
paid for They allege that 1t never
was fully paid for, and claim some
$50 900 still due. The electric COM
pany seeks judgment for this claim
as well as for electrical machinery of
$4,000 value furnished thereafter, The
defense of the Cochiti company is that
the machinery furnished was defect
i've, and that by reason of the defecus
the company was unable to operate
its plant at certain times when large
revenue was being derived from its
operation, and that they were com.
PEELED to keep its pay roll going at
such times at great loss. Expert wit
nesses on electrical subjects are tes-
tifying in the case, and the court room
has assumed somewhat the appear
ance of a machine shop. The docu-
nentary evidence is also voluminous.
Mr.. Clancy appears for the electrical
company and Mr.. Childers for the de-
PENDANTS.

ATTITUDE OF UNITED
STATES TOWARD SERVIA

Washington, June 20.-The United
States government has adopted an at
titude similar to that of England to-.
ward the new Servian dynasty. 1t
will be in no haste to recognize the
new government in the absence of
some exhibition of a disposition to
punish the guilty parties connected
with the recent assassination of the
king and queen. Therefore, Mr.. Jack
son, who, besides being the minister
to Greece, is also minister to Servia,
will not present his credentials to the
government of King Peter at present.
In fact, these credentials have not
been prepared.

MINE EXPLOSION.
Coal Mine at BIOssbuTg Has Gas
Explosion.
FIVE MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT.

Special to Citizen.
Ration, June ia fatal explosion
occurred in the Ration Coal and Coke
company's Dutchman mine at Bloss-
burg about three miles from this place,
at IL o'clock last night. The men were
letting off blast when the explosion
occurred. The accident is supposed
to have been caused by striking a poe
ket of gas. Thomas Poiser, Toni Nov
len, Joe Fresnegg, Jackstoler and AL
fonZo Dune, miners, who were working
near the scene at the time, were killed
outright. Frank (last name unknown) =,
also a miner, who was working in the
same vicinity, badly burned and will
probably die. Harry Mussell. white
miner, was burned about the face and
hands and also has several ribs brok-
en- by being thrown against the wall;
he will recover. Jack Bell, miner,
burned seriously but not fatally.
Considerable damage was done to
the mine and it is at present closed,
but will open again as soon as the
United States mine inspector has ex.
amined it.
This mine is one of the largest and
best operated by the Ration Coal and
Coke company, and has always been
considered one of their best and safest
but lately small pockets of gas have
been struck and it is supposed that
this explosion was caused by the blast
striking a large pocket. The dead and
injured were taken TO their homes and
to the hospital maintained for the
miners by the company and every at
tention possible is being shown them.
The dead will be buried Sunday by
the Miners union and the Red Men
society, to which they nearly all be-
longed.

Virtues of the Papaw.

The well-known papaw tree OF the
tropics seems to possess added virtues
to those with which we are familiar
Percy Groom, writing to Nature, says
that during his residence in China he
made some interesting observations re-
garding the papaw tree. A line of
these trees stretched between the
house and the river, and he was sim
gularly free from mosquitoes, while
other houses on the same. island were
more or less infested by them. While
frequently watching these trees he
never saw a single insect alive on
them, though flies and other insects
settled In numbers upon the bamboos
and banana plants not far away. The
papaw trees seemed to act as q ram
part to keep insects at distance and
mosquitoes from entering the house
His opinion was oonsiSeraDIy
strengthened by the increase in the
number invading the premises after a
typhoon had felled several OF the trees,
making gap among them.
Mr. Groom adds that the practice Of
hanging meat in the shade of the pa
paw tree to render the meat tender
seems to be a senseless custom. but
its wide distribution causes one to
ask: Is it not possible that the papaw
tree should exhale a gaseous product
which either repels meat destroying in
sects or exerts an antiseptic action on
putrafactive bacteria, or, finally, is a
V01ati1a fprmant2 Tho panulior rola
tion in regard to temperature displayed
by the proteolytic ferment of the pa
paw juice renders the last possibility
less improbable than at first impress
sion.

jolly Dutch Children.

In the whole world there are no
more jolly children than the small
boys and girls of Holland. The little
boys all wear the loosest, widest and
most preposterous breeches ever seen.
Each pair seems big enough to hold
two boys and reaches high above his
waist, where it buttons to his small
shirt. The head gear is almost al
ways small round cap. Coats and
jackets they rarely wear even in the
winter when at play.
The little Dutch girls wear long
skirts so full that one almost suspects
that there are hoop skirts under them
such as grandmother wore when She
was young lady. On their heads are
the tightest of white caps, such as
babies wear in America. Sometimes,
under these caps, they have hood
or head piece made of brass, which is
kept brightly polished and glitters
splendidly through the lace overcap.
Boys and girls wear wooden shoes
and make a tremendous clatter as they
play their games on the sidewalks or
the pavement. One of their counting
out rhymes spelled as it is pronounced,
Is:
Eeen, twee, cen Kopje the,
Een, Klontje, er BIZ,
AT ben jill.
