WILL Run OPEN SHOP.

New York, Aug. 20. The local
packing houses, through Frederick
Joseph, vice. president of the Schwarz-
schild & Sulzberger Company, yester-
day declared their independence of
union labor in this statement:
AT our Chicago and Kansas City
houses we have refused to have any
more conferences with the represen-
tatives OF unions who have broken
their agreements and we do not see
any use in making any new agree
ments with the unions Mr.. Joseph
said: we are going ahead on an
open shop basis and will pay no more
attention to the unions which have
struck.
We are now doing, and we find we
are getting along, very well. The
New York Dressed Beef Company has
come to the same conclusion. y
IL the strike leaders would tell the
true situation, the men would know
that their cause is hopelessly lost. "

DRUGGED AND ROBBED.

e. e. Joslyn, of Waitstield, was
drugged and robbed in a room he had
engaged at The Lenox, on Monday
night. Complaints of disturbance
from occupants of adjoining rooms led
the landlord, S. V. Doty. to investi-
gate and he found other men were in
Mr., Joslyn's room. Upon being
warned to be quiet, the men departed
but left Mr. Joslyn, who was found on
his bed under the influence of some
drug. Part of his wearing apparel
was missing and when restored to con-
seriousness Mr. Joslyn said he thought
he had lost between $50 and $40 Two
men were traced and later arrested.

Ger and hatchet was found in his
possession when he reached the Jail.

caion. The charges of larceny were

Herewith of O. M. Ladd who resides
at Worcester corner was washed away
by the high water of Saturday even
ing, causing a loss of several hundred
dollars.
Mr.. Ladd had been at work putting

with an opening made in the dam no
danger was anticipated. Between
and O'Clock Mr.. Ladd, who vas work
ing not far from the mill, heard lond
crash and going to the spot found
that the water had been thrown back
so far and risen SO fast that it had
washed away the underpinning of the
mill and caused it to fall in the river.
Parts of the mill and machinery were
scattered all along the banks of the
river as far as Putnam s mill. Mr..
Laid is busv collecting what he can
of the machinery today and will be
unable to tell Just what his loss will
be until he finds out how much of the
rescued apparatus is good for any

would cost him 80, 600 to replace the
mill as it was before. The water was
very high and rose four or five feet in

CAUSE OF WRECKS.
Engineer Says Public Demand. Ton
High q Rate of Speed to Dis
tinguish Signals.

YES" said the engineer of famous
fast train, in talking over recent big
railroad wreck the other day, there have
been good many bad wrecks lately but
there's nothing surprising about them.
When smash-up happens people get all
sorts of reasons for it, but they rarely
hear the right one. The real cause lies
with the public, that wants to travel at
a rate Of speed that can't be kept I'D With
safety
Il have been in the business a good
many years, and am firmly convinced
that 40 miles an hour is about as fast
as a train ought to 60. When you have
to run at so, 60. or 10 miles an hour, the
engineer is simply taking chances. The
other night was running into small
city up the state. It seemed to me that
more than thousand green, red and
white lights were dancing before my
eyes. and couldn't tell one from the
other. How much worse 1t is coming
into Chicago you can imagine. We will
never have anything like safety In rail-
road travel as long as the public de-
mands such high speed. -

King Edward VII. has given his con-

It seems odd to Americans that an
uncle, not guardian. should have the
power to forbid the marriage of his
niece. But the king Of England has
such power by act Of parliament.
This act provides that all descend
ants of George H., except the issue of

So King Edward may forbid the mar

WHY TIE PIANO WAS THERE.
Presence of the Instrument I'm Des-

Audience.

A stage heroine who happened at the
same time to be an able executant on
the piano had to play night after night
the same part at popular theater.
She anxiously longed to give the audi
ence specimen Of her musical abil-
tiles, but her part in the performance
afforded no opportunity for such a dis
play Of her powers. But her Inventive
genius came nobly to the rescue, says
London Tit-Bits. and she discovered a
place in the action where pianist and
heroine might go hand in hand.
When the curtain rose revealing the
desert Of the Black mountains the
spectators beheld, to their amazement,
splendid plano placed at the foot
of the rocks. The heroine, with the
haste OF one pursued, climbed down
the rocky path. stopped enraptured at
the sight OF the piano and exclaimed:
"The savages have burned down our

but, heaven be praised- they have left

PROFITS FROM CEMETERY.
sum of $500, 900 Received BY the Mas-
sachusetts Horticultural So-
ctetY Since 1891.

So much curiosity was awakened by
the statement made at the annual meet:
Ing Of the Massachus Horticultural
society that the society had received
more than $500 .00O from the Mount Au-
burn cemetery corporation that It was
decided to give out an explanation of
why the money was paid.
1T appears that in 1929 there was not
an ornamental cemetery in the world,
and several Boston men. including Dam
lei Webster and Edward Everett. felt the
need of beautifully laid out burial
place. By 1881 the idea had taken shape,
after having been presented to the Horti-
CULTURAL society, to WHICH all the men
belonged.
Seventy-two acres of land. which now
forms about the central part Of Mount
Auburn, was bought, and was conse-.
Grated on Septembe "a Of the same year.
Friction arose, however, between the
cemetery committee and the Horticul-
tural society proper, so that in 1884 the
two had to separate. u
The terms Of the separation provided
that the proceeds of the sale Of any lots
In the u acres should be divided be-
tween the society and the cemetery COM
mittee. one-quarter to the society and
three-quarters to the Mount Auburn cor
poration.
1t was thus that the 100000 has been
turned over to the Horticultural society
by the Mount Auburn committee.

RANK POISON In THE BODY.
Reason for Troubles That Generally
Result from Over-Eating-Body
Is Poison Factory.

The body Is factory Of poisons. If
these poisons, which are constantly be-
ing produced in large quantities in the
body, are imperfectly removed or are
produced in too great quantity as the
result of overlooking, the fluids which
surround the brain cells and all the
living tissues are contaminated with
poisonous substances which asphyxiate
and paralyze the cells and so interfere
with their activity. This fact explains,
in part at least, says the London Fam
lily Doctor, the stupidity which is a
common after-dinner experience with
many persons.
When food is retained In the stom-
ach beyond the normal time, either
because of its indigestibility, the TAX
ing of too large quantity of it or a
crippled state of the stomach, these
changes are certain to take place This
TACT explains very large share of the
myriad symptoms which aflict the
chronic dyspeptic. The giddiness, the
tingling sensations, the confusion Of
thought and even partial insensibility
which are not infrequently observed {
rev hours after meals in chronic dys.
peptics, are due to this cause. Here /.
