Chicago, Aug. 25.-The attempt OF
the officials of the walters unions to
tie up the Chicago restaurants yester-
day proved a failure, not a single estab
lishment having been compelled to
close for lack of help. Out of 5000
members ordered on strike, not over
10 per cent. responded to the summons
The calling of the strike by the local
board, without consulting the various
local unions, is said to have been re-
sponsible for the refusal to comply
with the orders.

some Of the bankers of the city have
been handling the funds of the state
in violation of the law and that they
should be indicted. That is very
true, but will they? There is were

would not have gone wrong and per-

Bob Showers. It is true, or at lesat
that lie the report, that some of the
money was taken to Memphis, but it
is very likely that some of it went

"a Chicago man happened to be in

" If it is true that your son has
lost his voice you might send him up

What for?' said he.

voices being restored that way, and
after thinking it over he said he'd

Teller arrived the next week, and his
was bad case. He couldn't speak
to be heard five feet away.

up to all kinds of mean tricks, and
nothing but yelling would make 'em

young Teller use 'em to draw up logs

jumped up and down and threw
stones and clubs, but the oxen just
looked at him and chewed their

His voice came to him all of a
