the direction of Mr.. Fletcher Tate.

popular numbers appeared in this

various tempos with skill and
effect. One of the greatest treats
of the concert was Mrs. Wheeler's
singing She has unquestionably
well-trained voice and it is full of
tone and power and brilliancy.
She sings also with spirit and color,
and the music is always appreciated
by Union City audiences. Mrs.

There'II be no Strike.

WILKESBARRE, Aug. 1O.-Pres-
ident w. L. Connell and S. D. Warrin-
err, coal operators who have served up
on the Cancellation board of the an
thracite region since it's inception, say
they do not believe there will be any
strike of the mine workers when the
present agreement expires and init
mate that the operators are unwilling
to renew it. Mr.. Warmer, after a
careful review of the situation, said
today:
"All this talk of the companies pre-
pairing for a strike by the storage of
coal, etc., is nonsense. 1t is good
strategy on the part of the minework-
ers' officials to talk of the possible ne
cessity for a strike in April, and for
mulate demands, for by this means
they can induce their members to
pay up their dues and get back into
the organization, but aside from this,
I think they will have no effect"

MAKES IMPORTANT RULING
THE SUPREME COURT DECLARES
ACTS OF SEATTLE LABOR
UNION UNLAWFUL.
Pickets Should Be Driven Away From
Place That Was Boyeotted by
the Walters.

An order enjoining the Cooks and
Walters union of Seattle from inter-
fering with the business of the Bis
marck cafe mas been affirmed by the
state supreme court in an opinion in
which the court pronounces picketing
and kindred attempts to enforce boy
colts unlawful The court says:
"It is true that man not under
contract obligations to the contrary
has the right to quit the service Of an
other at any time he sees fit, and may
lawfully state, either publicly or pri-
vately, the grievances felt by him
which gave rise to his condition, and
that right which one man may exer-
else singly, many may lawfully agree,
by voluntary association to exercise
jointly; but one man singly, nor any
number of men jointly, having no leg
itimate interests to protect, may not
ruin the business of another by ma
liciously inducing his patrons and
other persons not to deal with him.
Men cannot lawfully jointly con-
gregate about the entrance of anoth-
er's place of business and there, either
by persuasion, coercion or force, pre-
vent his patrons and the public at
large from entering his place of bust
ness or dealing with him. The right
of personal liberty and the right of
private property are fundamental
rights. The object and purpose of all
law is their protection. And, if the
law fails in this particular, men will
endeavor to commit acts which lead
to breaches of the peace, riot and
bloodshed, and, if continued, in the
final suppression of all law"
The boycott of the Bismarck cafe
followed a walkout by the union caused
by the refusal Of the proprietor, Will
liam Jensen, to discharge his non
union floor man.

STEREOPTICAN VIEWS BEING
USED AT THE LEWIS AND
CLARK EXPOSITION.
Pictures of Many Of the Prominent
Buildings and Numerous Resi-
dences Thrown on Vanvas.

Special Correspondence.
PORTLAND, Aug. 1O.-A new en-
tertainment has lately been installed
in the Washington building, namely,
a stereoscopic and moving picture ex-
hibit of interesting scenes and places
in the state. This afternoon, for the
first time, a number of Walla Walla
views were shown. There are about
fourteen slides in all, upon each of
which are four views. A number of
the principal business buildings are
shown, including the Drumheller
building, the Ransom building, the
Dacres hotel, Mcbride livery stable
and Gilbert Hunt shops, also a view
of Main street. Several of the large
farms around Walla Walla are also
shown, including the Blalock fruit
farm, the Balock alfalfa ranch,
Frank Villas onion patch, a view of
the Drumheller ranch showing the
operation of blowing ground to the
width of % feet with forty horses,
scenes on the farm of A. M. Robinson,
M. Mcdonald, Chris Ennis, George
Starrett. w. S. Offner, VIM. Reeves,
Mrs. Chris Ennis and William Ritz.
There are also shown some Of Walla
Wallas beautiful homes, of which she
is especially proud. Some of those
shown are those of Judge Thomas
Brents, w. w. Baker, Max Baumeis-
ter, w. A. Ritz, M. c. Moore and
George Ludwigs. Besides these pic
lures of the public schools, Whitman
college, ST. Paurs school, several of
the churches, the court house, hall of
records and penitentiary There were
also scenes on Mill creek and the
Walla Walla river and other beautiful
spots in and near the city. Altogether
the exhibition is an excellent one,
and one which Wa1la Walla people in
particular greatly enjoy. Others
seem to be somewhat surprised at the
beauties of the place.

USE FINGERS AS SEALS.
New York. Lawyers Will Introduce
Bills in the State Legislature.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Prosecuting
an examination of finger tips which ne
has carried On for twenty years and in
the course of which he mas satisfied
himself that no two tips are alike,
Francis r. Fast of No. 81 Nassau
street, a corporation lawyer, is adj
finger prints an incn long which are
alike and made by members of the
same family. Recently an imprint of
finger tip in place of a seal, to
establish indisputably the identity of
the maker Of a WILL. was taken as evil
dence by Mr.. Fast in an important
will contest. He will present a bill in
the next session of congress and the
state legislature to legalizee finger
imprints and give them the weight
seal now possesses.
Seal Is Passing.
Discussing yesterday his plan to
give legal status to finger tips, Mr..
Fast said the seal, which formerly
was an indutiable attestation of
document, was fast passing into dis
guise.
Il suggest" he said, that as
guarantee of genuineness every per-
son choose one of his ten fingers
which 1 shall call my ego finger
and place an impression of it's tip
after his signature, especially on doc
uments requiring a seal by law. In
that case the impression should be
made after the seal, and in addition
to it.
Not alone are the lines of each of
every persons ten fingers different,
but the ten thousand finger tips of
thousand persons all vary. Thus, the
impression of a mans finger tip would
be incontrovertible evidence that ne
was present when the document was
signed.
Just as every person usually
adopts a uniform signature to sign
checks, so also should he adopt one
certain finger for an imprint after
his signature, and ne should leave a
duplicate of his impression with the
bank for it's guidance.

LOSES TITLE TO
fine HOMESTEAD

The register and receiver OF Une
local land office have recommended
for cancellation Sam Ell. Woods home
stead entry of 100 acres OF land near
West Butte, Chouteau county, hold
ING that Wood has not resided upon
the land as required by law. On the
ranch il barn valued at $4,000, and
either buildings, all of which would
be lost to Wood if the ruling OF the
local officers should be sustained. In
their decision, the officers say:
cit has been repeatedly held that
occasional visits to a homestead are
not compliance with the law, and
the idea, which so largely prevails,
that if an entryman goes upon the
claim once in six months, or more
frequently, and remains a day or two,
but has not been absent at any one
time for q period of six months, ne
has thus complied with the home
stead law, is erroneous.
"The facts of the case show that
Mr.. Wood visited the claim as times,
usually when he was called there or
to an adjoining ranch on business
connected with the Ranch company,
but that his family was residing at
Great Falls eight or nine months OF
the year.
''It is true that if the wife OF an
entryman refuses to follow the hus-
band and absolutely refuses to make
her home on the claim, then, andeI
such conditions, the residence of the
husband is sufficient in law. But in
this case Mrs. Wood had not refused
to reside on the ranch, but had, II
fact, lived there during school yaca
tions.' s-
Since laying claim to the land Mr.
Wood has made Improvements which
makes it one of the finest ranches II
the country.
