Chicago is really in nice fix. And
what is it all about? 1t appears that
some tailors in the store of Marshall
Field & Co., went on strike because
they thought they were not getting
wages enough. That was all there was
to it. The firm employed other tail
ors. Then the transfers, who have
union, would not deliver the goods
made by the non-union tailors. They
went out. The transfers union de-
clared boycott on the firm. Other
transfers went into the employ of
Marshall Field & Co., and other firms
bought of and sold to Marshall Field
& Co., and then all the union men in
the employ of such firms buying of
and selling to, went out. The drivers
declined to haul packages from the
store of this firm, and they went out.
And ever since hell has been popping
in Chicago. Men have been brutally
beaten; some killed; women have
been shot; one killed; slung shots,
knuckles, knives, and guns have been
used and Chicago is in a terrible state.
Shoppers who want to trade at Mar
shall Fields cannot get hacks to take
them there; shoppers who have bought

CASE OF RAY CLIFFORD.

Really, this woman Ray Clifford,
ought not to be permitted to run
around the streets as she is running
around, asking every person she meets
for money with which to procure the
drug essential to her condition in life.
Hers is a pitiable case and the chart
table and kind hearted ought to do
something for her. 1t does no good
to confine her in Jail, because con-
finement does nothing to allay the ter
rible craving for the morphine she
must have, until she is placed in some
institution and cured, or dies. The
desire for the stuff is physical condi-
ton with the poor soul and she cannot
help doing as she does.
Here is a case of a woman, talented
and educated, who has fallen a victim
to the horrible disease produced by
excessive use of drugs and is no longer
bit like her former self. She was
formerly the honored wife of an of

When struggling armies fail to fur
nish old Death with the number of vic
tins he believes himself entitled to, he
usually takes advantage of other OPP
portunities. Letting his eye sweep
over the blood stained battlefields,
where Oyama and Linevitch are oper-
ating, he recently discerned the fact
that for some days to come all would
be maneuvering, so he took a short
vacation from his Manchurian labors
and came to the United States. His
first act was to snatch eighteen hui
man beings at Marquette, Kansas,
where a tornado swept through the
town. 1t was a sort of notification, as
it were, that he was with us and to
look out But, used to small calami-
ties of that nature, we paid little at
tention. But on Wednesday he made
his presence felt in a manner that we
will not soon forget. Down in Okla
homa he found rich harvest. AS he
followed in the wake of the storm, five
hundred unfortunate victims to his in
satiate appetite were gathered in
Young and old, adult and infant, high
and low, rich and poor alike were talk
en- to his arms and he laughed as he
piled the sheaves of the dead on his
close moved field. For short time
only he stayed and then hied himself
to Pennsylvania, where through the
carelessness of men in placing dyna
mite where collision could explode 1t
he took to himself fifty more, leaving
five score wounded in the taking.
Oh, he is great individual, i:
Death. He comes when we are no
looking, and when confidence reign'
supreme in our hearts is the day of hi
triumph.

schools have repeatedly made ad-

Thompson was a pioneer woman ply.
sician Of the northwest, and in this
character and also in that of philan.
ahropist, she well deserves the tribute
now bestowed upon her memory, In
1865 she founded the Mary Thompson
Hospital for Women and Children
(situated at Adams and Paulina
Streets, and all her life was active
and generous in giving helping hand.
The noted surgeon, DR.. Nicholas Sem.
wrote for the ceremony of the unveils
ing these words: This ceremony
marks an important epoch in the med
ical history of Chicago. Hundreds OF
women owe their success in life to
DR.. Thompson's noble precept and un-
firing energy in the interests Of the
betterment of the educational advan.
tages Of her sex. The memory Of this
physician lives and will continue ia
tive in the hearts of the people of Chi-
cago."
The following tribute suggests the
many-sided character of this woman
physician; During 80 years of unin.
terrupted professional work, DR.,
Thompson proved that a woman can
be bold yet conservative surgeon, q
rational SCIENTIST, an Industrious stu.
dent, conscientious teacher, warm-
hearted philanthropist, and sympa-
thetic friend. This is memorial to
q woman who established the position
of women in the medical profession OF
our city and throughout the great
