The Race Is Running out.

The other evening we went into
store to make a purchase, and had
to wait our turn to be served. A
young man was at the telephone talk
ing to some one. He talked so long
and nicely that he drew our attention.
We were Disguised to hear him kiss
som eone-or rather kiss at someone.
He evidently enjoyed the proceed
ing, for to our horror he repeated
the dose. Now, if this Young man
would go to the girls house and kiss
her, he would do a more sensible
thing. That's the way it used to be
done when we were young. But for a
fellow to kiss a girl over the tele-
phone! To our mind, the race is run
min out.ZCo ttonwood Falls Courant.

BIG SAM LEVER.
Refuses to Stand for Fine Imposed
by Umpire.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 5.-This being
pay day with the Pittsburg club, Sam
Lever, who was under suspension
from last Thursday until yesterday on
account of his row with Umpire John
ston, today sought to draw his salary.
President Dreyfuss refused to pay him
in full, saying he was not allowed by
the league to pay a man under sus-
pension. He offered Sam the salary
minus the days which he was sup
posed to be suspended, but Lever
claims no suspension Lever claims
he was never suspended according to
National league rules, and he demands
full pay.
Dreyfuss is now under the impress
sion that the Pittsburg club has been
cruelty hoaxed by some one using the
name of Pulliam, and that Lever was
never SUSPENDED.

Looking at his gray beard, you think

men,

Chicago.-The great packing house
strike, declared eight days ago, and
which has cost In wages and loss Of
business to packers and railroads al
most the round sum of $4,000, 600, was
settled when the packers, after long
conference with all the union officials,
practically agreed to all the demands
Of the men.
The result is signal victory for the
unions, as the packers agree to take
back all the men who went out within
As days.
This was the main contention of the
strikers from the first. The packers
stood firm on this point up to the set
tement They held it would be mani
testify unfair to throw out the men
who had come to their assistance
when they were in trouble.
1t Is not known what pressure was
brought to bear upon them to break
down this attitude, but 1t is generally
understood that they had the alterna-
tive of taking back all the strikers or
the "tfatilgqG a. general strike of all
peculiar conditions obtaining III Tins

contemplate.
Both sides agreed to submit all diff
ferences to arbitration. This is a
minor concession on the part of the
unions, as they have gained the greater
contention-that of making Packing.
town practically a closed shop.
Heretofore, all the packing plants,
with the possible exception of Cudahy
& Co., have been open shops, union
and nonunion men working peacefully
together.
Under the agreement reached there
will be no place hereafter fer the non
union men.
Many of the strikers have departed
40 or more families returning to thelI
home in Europe, and numbers OF the
men have been sent out west to inde'
pendent plants,
However, it is not likely the strike
leaders will have any trouble in pre-
senting the full quota of men for re-
inStatement.
1t will be seen that practically the
only concession made by the strikers
is that of abiding by the decision OF
the arbitrators.
Heretofore, President Donnelly has
steadfast in his determination not to
consider any arbitration that might
result in a reduction of wages.
He said that he was perfectly salts
fed with the result.

of the agreement dangerous rio
broke out at the stock yards, when II

were finally rescued, in badly uset
