Expected This Week.

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 14-The

tenion of attempting to operate.
The Textile Council will meet on
Tuesday to devise ways and means for
opening Of relief stations for the non

Friday. The problem Of non-union help
is most difficult one for the unions,
and the relief stations We're closed I'M
til further orders from the TeXtil"

received has been expended to date.
The contributions from out of town
collectors are expected this week and

The capsized launch was the Recrea-
ton, owned by Drs. Stewart and Wag-
ner and carried the IA persons men,
toned During the first race the launch
got in the way Of the cight-oared shells,
and the officials reprimanded its crew
and ordered them out of the way. The
launch headed for the shore, but mis-
calculated is course, and striking the
strong undertow caused by millracc.
rocked for moment. and. as the pas

against the continuance of racing III

charge declined to stop the sport, say
ing that it was inexpedient because
people had come on from numerous
other cities to take part, and that the
regatta was the result of long-laid
plans in which many outside interests
were concerned.

this decision. The cheering for the COM

There is not much use trying 10
have restaurant petty cheats arrest
ed,' said the manager of a lunch room
in the busy downtown district of New
York. ut is too much bother to go to
court to appear against them, and we
never get the money anyway. AS q
rule, cheats eat only Il small amount,
less than 80 cents worth. The head
waiter and the waiter have signals by
which they can generally size Il man
up. They know in a minute whether
customer has really come away from
the Office without his money or is on
ly blutting,
But there is one kind of beat We
are all down on, and We'll put him in
the cooler overnight every time we
catch him. | mean the man who sits
ut 4 table. eats 40 or 80 cents worth
OF roast or cntree and then stops at
the bar counter on his way out for
piece Of pie and a cup of coffee. When
he comes to the cashiers desk he pre-
sents nothing but the fifteen cent check
for the pie and coffee. The only thing
we can do is to make an example of
chap Of that kind when we catch him."

GREAT STOCK YARDS STRIKE ON
Nearly $4,000 Men in Nine Big Cities Quit
Work-TroubIe Is Over the
Wage Scale.

Chicago, July 13.-One of the most
gigantic labor struggles of the age was
launched at noon when 10000 en-
plOyeS in nine packing centers in the
country went Oh strike. Within for
ty-eiGht hours, it is expected, the num-
Der of men out Of work will be in
creased to $4,000 on account of the eff
feet of the strike upon departments
indirectly involved. The strike is the
result of failure to secure renewal
of Il wage agreement between the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butch
er WOrkmen of North America and the
packers.
Since May 2S last repeated efforts
have been made to settle the contro-
verSy, without result. The men are
seeking minimum scale of 1872 cents
an hour for unskilled workmen, an
,eQualiZa ton of the wages paid skilled
employees and changes in working con-
ditiens. The packers persistently de-
clined to accede to the demand. and
notice was served on them that
strike would be called at noon.
The cities affected. together with the
number of men who will go out. are as
follows: Chicago, 10000; Kansas City,
10000; South Omaha, 5000; East st.
Louis, 5000; st. Joseph, Mo-, 5000;
Fort Worth, Tex, 1900; New York. l.
500; st. Paul, 800; Sioux City, 800. This
makes a total of $4,000.

NEilliOnaire'S Poor stomach.

The worn out stomach Of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
Tic prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on the secession of
great wealth. But m1llionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and midi
gestion are rampant among these people
and they suffer far worse fortunes than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves Of a standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
a favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty five
years August Flower rouses the torpid
liver, thus creating appetite and inspir-

STEP FORWARD IN RUSSIA
Political Prisoners Hereafter to Have
Trials Under the Regular Court
Procedure.

st. Petersburg, July 12.-The sys-
tenn of condemning political prisoners
by administrative order has been abol-
ished by imperial decree, and persons
accused Of political crimes henceforth
will be tried by the courts Under the
regular procedure. This reform is most
far-reaching, ending forever the arbi
trary condemnation to exile, or even
death, of political suspects without the
Intervention of the courts
It is considered to be one Of the most
sweeping reforms Of this generation
and it is understood that 1t was rec
omended by the council of the empire
with the acquiescence and approval Of
the minister Of the interior, NJ. Plehve.

Dogs are undeniably the most useful
animals for man in his polar expedi-
tons where sledges must be dragged
over the ice Of the polar sea. They
have the advantage also that, unlike
horses and reindeer, they readily eat
their fellows. Their weight is small,
and they can be easily carried on light
boats or on ice foes. AS the Danish
government has forbidden the eXporta-
ton Of dogs from Greenland explorers
