SHIP STRIKE BREAKERS
Two Big Trains Carrying More Than
700 Non Union Laborers Pass Thru
the City Going to San Francisco
Supplies Secured Here.

Two, trains Of twelve cars carrying
strike breakers from Philadelphia and
New York to San Francisco, passed
thru the city late Wednesday evening.
The first train carried 3s7 and the sec
ond, which followed the first by a
few minutes, and arrived at $50 o.
clock, had on board 400. The men are
being shipped to San Francisco to take
the place Of strikers on that city's
street car system. None of the men
of the first train were allowed to get
off, being prevented from doing SO by
guards on each car who were armed
with clubs. Some Of those on the
second tram alighted, Each of the
trains carried a baggage car, which
was equipped as kitchen and in
which all the meals for the men were
prepared. Both trains were supplied
here with edibles by a local whole
sale house.
A very large per cent of the men on
board both trains were young, and a
more thoroughly tough" looking
crowd has never passed thru this city
in such numbers before. Most of them
were unshaved, dirty and were repre-
sentative Of the scum Of the cities.
It was said when the first train
reached Cedar Rapids the men swarm
ed from it, and stole everything about
the depot that was movable, including
express of the American Express
Company. AS result the Cedar Rap
ids office notified the local express Of
flee to guard carefully any express it
might have at the station at the time
the trains went thru here.

process is a curious one. &.
It consists of opening the roots Of

Many a boy is made happy these
days by present Of half a dozen pen

eternity, says the New York Press.
The original pencil was really made o.
lead, and on the rough paper of the
time a clearly discernible mark Ge7#
many led in its manufacture. Our
earliest importations were much
sought after, and none could be bought
with other money than gold coin. A
common ''lead" pencil was almost
worth it's weight j., gold, and man
who got a supply had to be well rec
commended. When a New York mer-
chant advertised the arrival Of a con
signment of lead. pencils" the rusa
to buy. was pell-mell.
American ingenuity, aided by Ger
man detail, brought this country quick
" to the front in pencil manufacture.
Our enormous forests Of cedar and the
discovery of graphite with the intro
duction of marvellous machinery anu
all kinds of labor-saving devices have
brought the daily output up to 1000,
900 pencils day. There are sales men
whose annually bookings amount to
half a million dollars. They give
away. hundreds of thousands Of pen
ellis. to advertise their business. Some
use pencils as personal cards, and it
