the situation three hours after view

it is told-union men who have rev.

In that strike Curry coined an ex-
preston that only one man heard.
It was: Negroes have blood.
nerves and desire to work. I'll
fight to put them at par with the
same stocks of the white men," And
it was Curry who saw in his throngs
of big, loose-jointed, silent, powerful
though not altogether cleanly, colored
recruits from st. Louis and the south
force that could break the warfare
that International President C. P.
Shea, of the Teamsters' brotherhood,
had precipitated in Chicago.
How Curry Defied Strikers.
The first thing that Curry did when
put in command in Chicago was to
march 800 colored breakers
through crowded streets to teach
them the lay of the land" 1t was only
a picnic for Curry. The marchers
were tired and footsore. Not so with
Curry. A call went out I'VE have
lost a wagon. Who will find it? 1t
has federal injunction placard on it,
but that means some one will lead
the mob to make kindling-wood of it. "
Its a cinch," came the familiar re-
mark of Curry. Step out here, you
fellows. Follow me-"
Policemen never lodged the show
ers of missiles that were directed at
Curry and his band. Time for a grim
| joke even by Curry. "They are not
trying to curry favor but curry Curry
said the strike-breaker. He found the
wagon.

again the will o. wisp of money will
dance before Strikebreaker Curry's
eyes. He will do the work asked OF
him. Given enough industrial strife
problems to solve and Curry will
swing around a circuit that will emo

oLATHE.s MAYOR FIGHT.
Recount of the Ballots Gives Ogg
Majority of Two.

Olathe, Kan, July 22.-Judge Smart
of Ottawa, who was recently appointed
by the supreme court as commissioners
to recount the ballots and to take evil
dence in the city contest cases wherein
E. r. Ogg brought suit to GUST John j.

r. Pettyjohn and E. c. owen brought
similar action against o. J. Scott and
j. H. Milham for the offices of city
treasurer and police judge has compile
ted the work in this city and will make
his findings of fact and file them in the
supreme court by August Is.
The contestors for their cases had
only the ballots opened and counted.
The defendants had several witnesses
present, but did not show any illegal
votes or attempt to sustain their theory
of fraud in any particular.
While Judge Smart did not pass upon
the legality of any ballots. the 12e bal
lots in the Second ward which were yo-
ted by a cross in the circle and thrown
out by the judges of the election in or
der to elect Glover were counted with
out hesitancy and only a general OBJ
lection was raised by the attorneys for
the defendants.
AS the matter now appears Ogg made
a gain of five votes, which gives him
two majority outside of the unquestion-
ed votes. About 200 ballots go the su-
preme court to be passed on. Pettyjohn
will have about 20 majority and E. c..

Shawnee County Census Returns Still
Incomplete.

Secretary Coburn is still dissatisfied
with the statistical returns from Shaw
nee county and he has written letter No.
2 to County Clerk Newman.
This time Secretary Coburn complains
that the acreages of improved lands
and the acreage of unimproved lands do
not total the same as the total number
of acres reported in the different town
ships. Secretary Coburn's criticism is
well taken. County Clerk Newman fully
agrees with him that these tables should
balance, but as he simply transmits to
Secretary Coburn the figures furnished
by the township assessors he can not
remedy the faults. The whole trouble
lies in the fact that the law provides
that the township trustees shall act as
assessors and collectors of statistics at
SO a day. whether they can read. write
or figure intelligently enough to pass a

some figures and to draw So per day,

FIRST BOMB THROWN.
In an Attempt to Assassinate Sultan
of Turkey.

Constantinople, July 22.-The au-
thorities are jealousy guarding all the
details of the futile attempt on the life
of the sultan. Although the outrage
occurred at p. m, the fact that the
sultan's life had been in danger did
not become generally known until
night, when it created excitement. This
was the first bomb explosion of this
character that ever occurred in Con-
stantinople. The majority of those
killed or injured were soldiers, who
lined the road near the mosque.
Auth critics are greatly disturbed and
unable to explain how the would-be
regicide passed through the Gordon of
troops which always bars the roads
leading to the mosque as soon as the
sultan leaves the palace.
The bomb thrown by the man who
attempted to assassinate the sultan,
smashed the windows of the pavilion
reserved for diplomats, which con-
tanned among others U. Grant Smith.

ton, who was accompanied by Captain

SEA- BUGABO0.
Santa Fle and Missouri Pacific Sus-
picious About FL Dorado Request.

Owing to the fact that they believe
the Orient is back of the move to get
a connection built between the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Santa Fe at Ell Do
RADIO, these two roads have refused
the request of the people of Ell Do
RADIO for this connection. The request
was filed by the mayor of Ell Dorado
directed to the Missouri Pacific. ]. H.
Richards, attorney for the Missouri
Pacific, filed today with the board of
railroad commissioners his answer to
the request, in which he says:
"The respondent is advised that the
movement to have this switch or "
put in was inspired largely by what
is known as the Kansas City, Mexico
& Orient, which said company is in
terested in having said switch connec-
ton and participating therein for the
promotion of its own commerce and
terminal interests
It is also claimed that it would cost
$4,000 to build the switch, which is
too much to spend, in view of the fact
that Ell Dorado is midway between
Wichita and Yates Center, where the
Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific already
have connecting tracks. The Santa Fe
estimates the total expense at &c.
1850.
