day; that the fatalities among sea-
going men are estimated at six

so dreadful a record as that which
follows might readily become more

enough, but the earthquake which
visited British India in April was
infinitely worse.

WHY 1T WAS HELD BACK
Union Pacific Issues Statement About
Dividend story.

New York. Aug 1s.-A statement
was issued from the executive offices
Of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany today giving the details of the
manner in which the Union and
Southern Pacific dividends were de-
clared and made public. The state
ment follows:
1.-The board Of directors of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific met We'd
nesday and authorized action upon
dividends by the executive committees
The committees, however, did not
meet until p. m. on Thursday and
final notice of the declaration of the
dividends were delivered to the sec
rotary of the stock exchange before
10 a. m. Friday"
Mr.. HELEN, the assistant secretary
of the Union Pacific, said in addition
that there had been criticism of the
action of the committee in not an
nouncing the dividend action after
their meetings on Thursday. He said
that this would have given an advan-
tage to the London stock market by
giving it the first benefit of the news
and that 1t was considered fair to save
this advantage for the New York stock
market by Withholding this announce
ment until Friday morning.

CUTSTRIKEASSESSMENT
Printers win Pay Eight Instead of
Ten Per Cent

Colorado Springs. Aug. 1s.-With
the declaration that the fight for the
eight hour day is practically won. the
ffty-second annual convention of the
International Typographical union has
voted to reduce the strike assessment
from 10 per cent to 8 per cent of the
wages of employed printers.
At this time $500 are working
eight hours. 1855 are under nine hour
contract and 4.709 are on strike. The
expense of the strike to date has been
approximately $1,600,000s all of which
with the exception of $47,715.94, has
been contributed by members working
under undisturbed conditions.
1t was decided today that sum al
lowed members on the strike be not in
excess of seven dollars for single men
and ten dollars for married men, and
that where men refuse to work because
the amount earned does not equal the
strike benefits that they be cut off from
the benefit list entirely, it being evil
dent that the disposition thus shown is
not in accordance with the true spirit
of unionism and a desire to advance
the out Of work settlement
Characterizing the injunction feature
of the strike as q wrong method of
regulation of justice, the eight hour
committees report says:
1.-The Injunction has become a club
used by idolatrous capital to beat the
trades unionism into submission, to de-
prive it of all of its liberties and
privileges guaranteed under the consti-
tuition
Relative to charges that the man
agement of the union printers home
has been purchasing from merchants
who were members Of the citizens al
lance formed in Colorado during the
reign of the Western Federation of
Miners, the home investigating COM
mittee made it's report today exonerat-
ing Superintendent Deacon, praising
him for the excel1ency Of his work and
condemning the persons who made the
charges. saying that the motives
prompting the attack were not motives
emanating from true unionists.

It was in 1868 that Mrs. Blair came to
this region from Iowa with her husband,
Newton Blair, who homesfeaded q claim

Of the settlers died with it. Mrs. Blair

and nursed cholera patients until she
herself was taken with the dreaded dis
ease. She was one of the very few who
recovered.
Tremendous changes have taken place
in this region since Mrs. Blair first came
here forty years ago. At that time there
were comparatively few settlers west of
Junction City. One of her daughters,
now Mrs. A. P. Collins, taught the first
school in Solomon Newton Blair, her

ants at the time of her death, a large
number of whom were here to attend
the funeral Friday afternoon. She is
survived by six sons and three daugh-
tiers. They are Rev. Henry Blair Of

Re-enacted Today.


New York, Aug. BY esterday's wild
scenes on the stock exchange were re-
peated today The galleries were
crowded with spectators attracted by
the reports Of yesterdays excitement
due to the electrifying announcement of
the unexpected amount Of the dividend
declared on Union and Southern Pacific
These two stocks continued TO make
sensational fluctuations. The whole
market was affected in sympathy.
Prices advanced buoyantIy from l to 3
points on a buying demand such as has
not been witnessed in the stock market
since the bull period of April, 1901
Brokers apparently had orders to buy
unlimited amounts Of Union Pacific ana
Southern Pacific and blocks Of thou
sands of shares and even of tens CT
thousands Of shares were taken at the
market at any price demanded by the
sellers.
An efferveseent boiling up Of prices in
those two stocks resulted. r inning
sales Of 10000 shares of Union Pacific
were made at once at 1S15h to 1876 and
81. 900 shares of Southern Pacific at 90
to 81 High prices for these stocks yes
terday were 1888 for F7nioi Pacific and
SO for Southern Pacific The furious
buying continued after the opening
prices ran off from time to time. while
room traders vera taking their quick
profits but the uplift was resumed
Pennsylvania was second only TO the
Facifics in activity and buoyancy.
During the second hour Reading came
into prominence and was rushed up over
four points on an almost unlimited buy
ing movement.

ROOT GIVEN OVATION.
Draws Tighter the Bonds Of Friend
ship With Argentine.

Buenos Ayres. Friday, Aug IL
Delayed--The banquet given at the
opera there this evening in honor of
Secretary Root by leading represen-
tatives OF the banking, commercial
and railway interests of this city was
the most important function since his
arrival here.
Senior Drago, former minister of
foreign affairs in proposing the health
of President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and the people of the United States
said the moment was propitious for
drawing closer the bonds of amity
uniting the two nations and adding to
the material and moral solidarity Of
American integrity.
Mr.. Root, when he rose to reply
was accorded a great ovation Trac-
ing the policy of the United States for
over a century he said the United
States had never employed and never
would employ her army or navy for
the collection of debts contracted by
governments or private individuals.
Such measures, he said lent them
sordid objects. He was an advocate of
arbitration and mediation and all 9TH
er elements that made for peace
These matters were in the hands OF
the people who should be inculcated
with a spirit of humanity and just con-
sideration for others so that neither
governments, presidents. nor con-
crosses could enter upon war policy
which was destructive to all of the
higher qualities of mankind.
The secretary spoke of the pheno-
menal progress of the Argentine re-
public, adding that what he had seen
during his brief stay here had rem
dered all his previous knowledge OF
the country. obtained from books. ma
gaines and newspapers, of little value
as indications of the present greatness
of Argentina.
Mr.. Root concluded with an elo-
quent tribute to Buenos Ayres, its peo-
pie, institutions. hospitality and spIen-
dor and resumed his seat amidst the
greatest enthusiasm, flowers being
showeFed on him from all parts of the
house. The banquet viii be long re-
membered by the Argentine people
and maybe considered to be the in
auguration of a new era in the rela-
/ lions between the United States and
Argentina.
The earthquake in Chile may alter
/ the itinerary Of Secretary Root.
