WILLING TO

FERENCE MAY BE HAD THIS
AFTERNOON LOOKING
TO A SETTLEMENTS

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-The situation
in the stockyards strike this morning
| took more peaceful appearance
than has been shown in two weeks
when representation were made to
the. packers to be met with courte-
Gus response. G. w. Foster, for the
retail butchers and grocers' commit
tee, called on Thos. Connors, of Ar
mour & Co., early to-day to arrange
for joint session Of the packers and
the labor men, together with the
peace committee. Connors met the
advances in a conciliatory spirit and
stated that Armour was always will
ling to meet with their butchers. The
tour of the other packing houses was
then made. and it is very likely that a
general meeting Of the principals to
the strike will be arranged for this
afternoon. President Donnelly, of the
striking butchers, has wired Samuel,
Gompers to come to Chicago.if possi-
Bile
Ethelbert Stewart, of the Depart.
ment of Commerce and Labor, who
has been here sometime, had an inter
view this morning with Donnelly and
other. labor leaders, and later made
trip to the stockyards. Whether he
bore an official message or merely
continued the departments inquiry
into the meat strike is not stated, but
his active participation is looked
upon as another Indication of active
steps toward the calling off of the
great strike.

WAGON CAUSED MUG EXCITE.
!. .MENT IN FIRST WARRIORS &
TuNATELY NO ONE WAS
HURT.

i The other afternoon peculiar &C
Ecident occurred. in which the wager
4 belonging to Thomas and Harr ran
! away with the horse and driver. On
starting down from the stable at the
f1op of the hill in front OF the City
Hospital, the. foot OF the driver slip
ped off the rubber block, pitching him
forward across the shafts between
the horse and wagon front. With
brakes OF, which he had endeavored
to hold down for the benefit of the
horse, the full weight Of the wagon
now rushed upon him, plunging him
down the incline at q terrific rate Of
speed, to the horror of those behold
ing it.
Fortunately the driver was lost out
on the way and left in the trail of
dust behind. Upon reaching the foot
of the hill at Water street, the wagon
struck the curb, throwing the horse
down, but by it's momentum shooting
him clear across the street as If it
We're only toboggan slide. Here he
lodged by the collar on the opposite
curb, but for which alone he and wag-
on would have gone over a stone wall
at that place, which would have
proved fatal to both-and likewise to
the driver. but for his being lost off
in the wild dash before reaching .this
critical danger point. The shafts of
the wagon We're broken, the horse cut
on one leg where he struck the curb
in falling. his sides bruised and skin
ned by sliding over the bricll-laid
street, and the harness straps some
what injured otherwise the outfit was
all found to be still intact except the
driver. When he gathered himself
up his clothes We're found tobe worse
for the sudden wear and tear of the
trip, his body and limbs We're cut,
bruised and skinned UP promiscuous-.|
ly, from which he has not vet fully re-
covered, but no bones were, broken, |
and he feels glad to have gotten off
with his life and that of the horse in
the accident which at the start and
under the conditions betokened GER
tain fatality.

Mrs. Parker heard the rattle and
squeak of wagon, and moved by a
gentle friendliness, looked out the
window to see who was passing. I de-
clare, it's the doctorr' she exclaimed.
Il guess l must be getting def and
stupid not to know old Barnum's jog
and the sound o. the doctors wheels.

don't" she added, warmly. He's
oiled to all eternity; never any but
mellow sounds come from him.
"Oh, l guess DR.. Harley means to
be pleasant" said Ethel, with re-
luctance.
Mrs. Parker looked at her visiting
niece. "Means?" she repeated.
''Why, he is pleasant year In and year
out, in joy and in sorrow"
There's such thing as being too
pleasant" limited Ethel
'Why, Ethelm exclaimed Mrs. Park
er, with as much severity as she could
assume. IF you've got grudge
against DR.. Harley out with it,
Il suppose it is just his way said
Ethel, weakly, yet with touch Of
yindictiveness in her voice.
What's his way? Come, don't
null it over,' advised Mrs. Parker.
"He doesn't take one seriously" said
Ethel, with dignity.

Ethel, shedding her aunt's mild satire,
"and there'd been something I'd want

didn't quite like to go to his oficeF-
abOut-ny freckles," and her face
flushed rosily under it's golden spatter-
work.
I'D read ever so many recipes for
removing freckles," she went on, "but
they were made Of such queer-sound-
ing things and the proportions were so
vague that was afraid if I used them
might come out spotted with green
or purple, and look worse than ever.
But just before came on from Ohio
I read something in a Beauty Col

I happened to meet the doctor, / said:

might have known. Yes, it's cure

are on the cucumbers'"
