PLANS TRIP TO CANAL ZONE.
THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
TAFT TO VISIT lsTHMUs.
Senator Willard, of Nebraska, Chair.
man Of Senate Committee, to
Join Roosevelt Party.

Omaha, Neb, Aug. 6.-Senator JOS
eph HI. Willard has just received an in
vitation from President Roosevelt,
through Secretary Taft, to accompany
the presidential party to Panama next
November. The letter follows:
my Dear Senator: The president
directs me to say that he expects to
visit Panama and personally examine
the work being done on the canal in
the month of November l shall ac-
company him. The president thinks
it would be appropriate for you, as
chairman of the senate committee,
which has investigated the affairs of
the Panama canal, to be one of the
party of observation which, however,
he finds is absolutely necessary to
make as limited as possible, so l write
to inquire whether your engagements
will permit you to be one of the
party"
Senator Willard stated in an inter-
view that he had not decided whether
to accept the invitation or not.
This invitation recalls the strenu-
Gus days last winter, when the COM
mittee on interoceanic canals, of which
Senator Willard is chairman, voted 6
to to recommend sea level canal,
the Nebraska senator submitted mi
nority report in favor of lock type
canal and then addressed himself to
the task of converting the members of
the senate to that idea, which was
supported by the administration. His
success, as evidenced by the result of
the final vote in the senate, elected
from the president most hearty COM
mendations verbally expressed as well
as an autograph note of congratula-
ton.

"No TROUBLE"
To Change from Coffee to Postum.

I've had indigestion nearly all my
life but never dreamed coffee was the
cause of my trouble until last Spring

it with my meals, I would lea re the

the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry
as ever.

FAST TRAIN STRIKES ENGINE
Two Firemen Killed in Attempt to
Jump to Place of Safety.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two persons
were killed in wreck on the Pan
handle division of the Pennsylvania
railroad about three miles outside this
city about IL o'clock Monday night
when the Cincinnati and New York
limited east-bound struck switch en-
CINE as it tried to cross in front of the
fast train.
Where the wreck occurred there is
a high bluff on one side and retain
ing wall on the other. AS the pas
senger train struck the switch engine,
the latter toppled toward the retaining
wall and narrowly missed rolling over
into the river, while the express en-
CINE plunged into the high bluff. The
baggage car fell toward the switch en-
CINE, and falling over, caught fire. The
two firemen who jumped in the same
direction, were caught beneath the car
and killed.

Children and Stars.
MIMI.

Nature study, which has been trans.
formed in a majority of cases into ma
ture recreation, has extended to .
great variety of subjects, but has
treated one important branch with
curious neglect. Birds and butterflies,
trees, flowers, mushrooms, ferns and
shells have their enthusiastic admir-
ers everywhere; but question as to
the summer consultations, or the
planets which are the morning and
evening stars of the month, reveals
the fact that 10 persons out Of 20
can barely recognize the Milky Way
and the Great Dipper. Yet what
door here stands open to the thought

roofs, the great procession passes;
one need go but to the street or the
window to watch. WHAT child who
has been taken out into the whisper.

the splendid silver beauty of a win

forgotten it? The names may slip
away, perhaps, but something
sense of beauty, of mystery. OF the
unspeakable wonder Of the universe
remains unforgetably. There havo
been children with other star memo
ries. One of the prettiest pictures In
biography, remarks the Youths Com
panion, is that of Lyman Beechers
children watching for the end OF the
long Puritan Sabbath and the release
from constraint when three stars

early stars must have worn to them
all their lives, with the memory or
their playtime signal! Nathaniel Bow

Happy children, SO to learn the stars

so linked with radiant memories!
Doubtless the stars may be learned
from books or named from pro-

of the beauty and the glory OF the
heavens-who puts the sky into his
childhood-gives him a memory be-

RUSSIAN STRIKE
APPEARS DOOMED.
RAILROAD WORkMEN REFUSE TO
JOIN MOVEMENT, FEARING
PRISON TERMS.
st. Petersburg Printers and Employees
of Street Car Lines and Ferries
Desert Revoiutionists and Return
to Their Tasks.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-The fate Of
the general strike, which, although it
has affected close to 10000 men in st.
Petersburg, has met with only slight
response in other sections of Russia,
probably will be decided with an ad-
verse expression of public opinion.
The lack of union among the leaders
of the proletariat organizations is
playing against the success of the
movement.
The railroad men, upon whom the
success of the entire movement de-
ponds, are still working full time. The
leaders of the railroad organizations
are hesitating about issuing call for
a tie-up. They fear being deserted
and discredited by their materialistfc
followers, who are no more responsive
to the avowed pretext of this strike,
namely, sympathy with the mutineers
of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Reval,
than they were to the similar reasons
given for the abortive strike of last
November. The railroad men have
been intimidated by the recent max
ing of strikes affecting communica-
tions penal offenses The laws provid-
ing severe punishment was enacted
with direct reference to general
strikes.
Workmen's Deputies Threaten.
The council of wofkmen's deputies,
which met secretly at Terioki, Fin
land, continued it's session till late
hour Sunday morning. The deputies
were so incensed at the timidity dis
played by the railroad men that they
decided to resort, if necessary to the
blowing up of bridges and the de-
struction of the roadbeds, etc, ETC., to
bring the transportation service to a
standstill Representatives of all the
revolutionary parties and emissaries
from Moscow, Kieff, Riga, Odessa and
other cities were present at the meet
ing. The telegraphers thus far have
been appealed to in vain.
Break in Strike.
The first break in the ranks of the
st. Petersburg strikers occurred Sun
day, when the printers decided to re-
turn to work. The employees of sew
eral street car lines and river ferries
have resumed work.
A steady downpour of rain all day
long prevented the open-air gather,
ings scheduled for the day in st. Pc
tersburg and the consequent POSSIBLE
tiles of collisions and disorders. The
day was without incident except for
the departure for Cronstadt of the
Eighteenth naval equipage. There
were large number of drunken men
among these sailors.
kilograms from the interior throw
little light on the manner in which
the country may be expected to re-
spond to the call for strike. There
has been no cessation in the number
of robberies and murders in the in
terror.

NORTHWEST NEEDS WoRKMEN
Labor Situation in Minnesota Causes
Worry Among the Farmers.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. A
bumper crop in the northwest and no
men to harvest 1t.
The farm labor situation in Mime
sofa to-day is the worst in the his
tory of the state.
Fifteen thousand men are needed
in Minnesota, Iowa and the two Da-
kotas and about a thousand are
available. The wages offered by the
farmers range from $1.75 to So day
and board, but the jobs go begging
A thousand men are needed in Min
neapolis at as high wages as are
paid in the country, but the available
men refuse to work.

Good-By to the Cowboys.

Land Office officials tell us that the
young farmers of Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri and Illinois are do

days. Many of them have gone
through hard apprenticeship as hired

for wages. They want to get land
Of their own, and, what is more, they
can tell good land when they see It..
They know the value of land that will
raise three crops of alfalfa and that
will turn out enormous crops OF al
most anything under the magic touch
of water. In many cases the man
who has lived for years in the far
west doesn't realize sharply enough
the remarkable capabilities Of the
land. He is looking for a snap
something that can be watered with
little expense. But the eastern farm
er is quick to see that almost any OF
such productive land is snap"

to be troublesome for year or two.

who is settling up the Rocky Noun

the Denver Republican, the care

DEMAND RECORDS
FROM RAILROADS
MINNESOTA OFFICIALS INSIST ON
RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE
AT FIRST HAND.
Testimony of Auditor Showing In
crease of Earnings in Other States
Leads to Drastic Order Against
Great Northern Company.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 4.-The state
railroad and warehouse commission
Thursday entered an order COMPEL
ing the railroads whose officials have
given testimony in the merchandise
rate hearing, which has been in prog
ress during the present year and
which was lately resumed, to produce
at the Office of the commission all
records on which their statistics have
been based.
This order is the most sweeping one
of the kind ever made by the COM
mission, and if the commission is in
clined to enforce it, in detail, it would
mean the bringing of the record of
all railroads doing business in Mime
sofa to the state capitol.
Attorney Severance, representing
the railroads, said to Commissioners
Staples: "Why, if this order is en-
forced it would mean the removal of
the offices of all the railroads to the
state capitol Mr.. Staples replied
by saying it would not do that if the
railroads would permit the examina-
ton of the records in their own Offices.
Order Is Far-Reaching.
This order of the commission is the
result of request made by Attorney
Manahan, representing the shippers
of Hastings, Mimi, made at the hear
ing Wednesday, after the auditor of
the Northern Pacific railroad had
given a lot of statistics showing how
the earnings of the railroad had de-
creased in Minnesota while they had
increased in Iowa and Illinois. Mr..
Manahan claimed that the statistics
did not show actual facts.
The order of the commission is d.
rected at the Great Northern rail-
road, but may be made applicable to
any road on request of the shippers
attorney. ~
Attack on Lawyers.
The hearing was replete with some
what sensational features, the climax
being reached when James Manahan,
attorney for the Minnesota Shippers
association, attacked the character of
/the law firm of the attorney present
for the railroads
AS things now stand, it looks as If
the hearing would get into the courts,
and that at an early date, for 1t is gen.
orally believed that the roads will re-
fuse to permit Manahan or any ship
per to look over it's records.
