PAWNEE BILLS WILD
WEST SHOW IS COMING
The Exhibition Here Next
Tuesday Will be Instruc-
tive and Amusing

The timeworn phrase bigger and bet
ter than ever" has done ycoman service
for tented exhibitions since uhe days Of
tho pioneer Snowman. until such a state
ment advanced by the department OF
publicity attached TO a travelling enter
tainment Is more often looked upon BY
the tntelilsent reader as the same old
hoax" Where the expression IS used
with a due regard for the truth, how
ever. truth which can be readily sub
stantiated and the public accept It as an
honest statement Of fact, it Becomes a
telling advertisement, despite its hoary
antiquity ana perverted application in
many instances.
As appded to Pawnee Bilrs wild West
and Far East Exhibition It is at once
truthful and descriptive. From an orig
inal Investment of less thar $1,000. some
twenty years ago Pawnee Bilrs Wild
West has wcathered many adverse storms
and today represents an amusement en-
terprise worth in equipment and trade
mark probably quarter Of million dol
lars. 1ndomitable energy, pluck and a
moJicum Of good fortune have been the
dominant factors IN the uphuildlng Of tho
entertainment which bears his name.
For his exhibition this season money,
and lots OF q, has been expended with
lavish hand. with the result that the
performances given this season make it's
predecessors pa'e by comparison. 1t stands
today a large, splendidly equipped organi-
zation. employing over 500 people and
some 425 head of stock. New features have
been added until in addition TO what
might be called the purely "Wild Vest
attractions, Major Lille presents its an
/ tithesis in his Far East entertainment, in
which Japanese and Chinese cavalry win
ride side by side with Indians cowboys
and Mexicans from the Western Hemis-
phere Nor is this an. for he has import
ed a group of genuine singalese, who will
be seen In sports and pastlmes peculiar
/ to themselves.
/ The free street Offering 10 be given upon
the morning Of the arrival will present
two distinct cavalcades, one representing
! the wild West" while the other viii
comprise the representatives of the Ear
East.
! Three bands and a fife and drum corps
together with a magnificent portable or
chestrion. furnish stirring music for the
long line OF horsemen headed by Major
Lille, Pawnee Bill"
All in all it will prove fitting prelude
to the splendid performance presented this
season.

LEADS OF FAMILIES
MAY NOW CO TO WORK
Will Not Be Guaranteed Be-
cause of Diphtheria in
Their Homes

Heads Of families in which there IS
iphtheria may hereafter go TO their daily
abor providing they keep away from the
erson afflicted. 1t was brought TO the
otice of the members of the Board OF
Health yesterday afternoon that a strict
uarantine on wage Garner works hard
hip in many cases and the opinion OF
|)rs. Tomlinson and Draper was to the ef-
ect that It was unnecessary, provided
he parent kept from coming in contact
With the patient.
The board deemed 1t unwise to allow pa
tents who are convalesclng to occupy
'front.' porches where houses adjoin each
,ther, but instead they may be allowed TO
eek fresh air in yard which is prop
ry fenced.
AS q result of the board receiving sew
|sral anonymous complaints, it decided
hat hereafter unless communications
we're properly signed. no attention would
be paid to them.
Secretary Hamann was instructed to ask
he Street and Sewer Department to have
he streets sprinkled before being cleans
led. Many complaints have been received
|of dust blowing about when sweepers arc
|at work and the board will make an effort
10 have the nuisance abated.
Secretary Hamann was a-so instructed
o notify owners Of teams who carry offal
containing liquid through the streets to
be more careful in the future and not
overload their wagons. The attention Of
he board was called TO the matter by Mr..
|Iamann who said that several morocco
|lrms in the city deposited hair ana offai
from their factories in vacant lots and
|hat the liquid from this material In some
Instances leaked from the wagons in the
|city streets.
Secretary Hamann reported he had or
'lered one firm from depositing the mat
er on a lot at Eleventh and Thatcher
streets and they had promised to comply
with the request of the board.
Tho board ordered "a new disinfectng ma
|ohine from the West Disinfecting Com
|pany which costs S27, two dollars more
than the old machines. The new disinfec-
tor has an advantage over the old one On
that the formaldehyde is not boiled and 1t

POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED
Designing Youths contriVe to Use
Evening Journals Name to
Vistimize Public.

Bad boys still continue to use the
good name OF The Evening Journal to
|victimize residents in the western part
of the city They tell a plausible story
that they arc soliciting subscriptions
that they may get help TO go to the St.
Louis Exposition. They collect what
ever money they can get in advance
and Of course the paper is never served.
This infamous practice has grown to
such proportions that it became neces-
|sary today to report the matter to
the police, who have promised to watch
for the offenders. While The Evening
journal does not wish to be hard on the
boys. it at the same time wishes to
protect the public from designing
youths.
The Evening Journals canvassers al
ways have authority to solicit subscrip-
Itions and payments in advance should
be made only to those who can show
this authority.

Opening Day Of Convention az Columbus

among themselves on presidential pref

These preliminary skirmishes also
demonstrated that neither "the old
guard" known as the conservatives.
nor the Hearst Bryan-Johnson men,
known as the radicals, had n leader.
Mayor Johnson Of Cleveland. who has
been the recognized leader in his par
ty in Ohio for the past two years, was
unable TO control the votes of the two
state committeeman from his own city,
whom he had put on the committee
one year ago. and the same was true
OF other members Of the state central
committee whom he had selected.
While there was no leader on the
grounds. there was much comment.
Many Contests Settled.
The old state central committee was
in session all afternoon passing on
contests by counties. The settlement
Of Mayor Johnson's case from Cleve-
land was second on the call. and the
Johnson delegates were seated unani-
mously.
There was great excitement after
the third vote for the state committee
which seated the radical delegation OF

FREIGHT STRIKE
IS SPREADING
1nIen join freight Handlers,
Teamsters Decline.
RAILWAY REFUSES CONCESSIONS

Men Ask 10 Have Nonunion Hands Dis.
charged and Union Recognized, and,
Being Refused, Threaten TO Tie Up
All Traffic.
New York, May without abate-
ment and with exceeding bitterness the
strike Of the freight handlers along the
river front continues. Only the pres
ence Of large numbers Of policemen and
private detectives at and near the piers
prevents the rough handling OF the
nonunion freight handlers and OF the
truckmen. There have been isolated
incidents Of insult and threatened vio-
lence, but the police were in such COM
plete command of the situation the
strikers were overawed.
At a meeting last night, despite the
urging OF the strikers. the drivers re-
fused to go out This is a decided set
back TO the disconnected men, who are
building their hopes on a spread Of the
strike
The officials OF the New York New
Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany received representatives OF the
strikers and listened patiently to what
they had TO say. The strikers express
ed willingness to forcgo all their de-
mands. including their objection TO the
foreman, Mccarthy. whose retention
had caused the strike In the first place.
They asked. however, that the non
union men who had taken their places
on the piers be discharged; that the
union be recognized and that the strik-
ers be taken back into the employment
OF the marine service OF the railroad
company IN body.
Railway Rejects Proposals.
This proposition was rejected per.
emptorily by the railroad company,
which informed the strikers that under
no circumstances would II discharge
the men who had come to its assistance
in the emergency. II also was said if
the strikers were permitted TO return
to work at all Il would be as indlvid-
uals and simply to fill vacancies which
might occur In the ranks OF the non
union men. With that bitter dose the
labor leaders withdrew from the con
ference, making dire threats that by
the spread Of sympathetic strikes they
would tie up and paralyze the New Hn
ven system all along the line. They
succeeded In getting out few OF the
iiremen in the transfer service and
weaned away nonunion fremen EN-
ployed by the company TO take theil
places at the bunkers. This hampereC
the service 10 some extent, but official.
of the company said ii was slight.
The Priscilla and other passenge
and freight boats succeeded in gettinl
away from New York last evening
loaded with freight, the eailroad of
cials said. But up along the line IN
company was not so fortunate. 1
Fall River the firemen on the Purita
were called out by a walking delegat
from New York, and il is expected tn
remainder of the fremen will 60 ol

the boats which are in New York a

hands on the steamboat Chester "

It was not expected the freight han
