Painters and Paper Hangers Haven't
Adjusted Differences

The strike of the painters and paper
hangers still hangs on Neither side

The union men claim that the

MINERS DESERT PUMPS
Hostilities in Illinois Mining Districts
Begin Again.

Chicago. April 5.-Hostilities be-
tween the mine owners and strikers
promise to begin in earnest within the
next few days. following the employ
ment yesterday of nonunion men IN
some of the Illinois shafts
The first nonunion crews were put
at work in fourteen mines in the sa-
line county district. Most of these
mines are controlled by the O'Gera
Coal company, whose employees de-
serted their posts Monday. The COM
pany promptly hired nonunion engi-
neers. hremen and pump men to take
the places of the strikers.
Further assertions of union crews
now caring for the shafts are looked
for today.
The desertion of the pumps and
fires at the O'Gara shafts left these
properties exposed to ruin by food
ing. AS an emergency measure to
save the properties from injury
Thomas J. O'Gara., president of the
O'Gara Coal company. ordered clerks
ana Office boys from the mine offices
to take charge of the pumps and fires
temporarily. Later regular engineers
and fremen were found and placed at
work.

But. as he passed thence Mrs Tread
well CHANGED to observe him and lost no
time in calling the attention of several
large gentlemen to his presence. 1t may
be readily inferred that Mr.. Kelly did not
get away with the goods. but that when
the officers arrived in the patrol wagon
they found some persons sitting on the
neck of the defendant
Upon hearing the story of the theft and
capture the police decided that it would
be right and proper to kill the nerve Of
this person before pulling him. but he
seemed to have taken ha-ha gas, and no
difficulty was encountered. The colossal
gall of the prisoner led Judge Urmy to
decide that he could not do justice to the
occasion. and he instructed the officers to
secure state warrant for Kelly, charg-
ing him with larceny from a dwelling
house.

the people of Topeka ought to know
this. Painters know this as they enter
the homes OF the best citizens and
handle their valuables while at work

The burglar is evidently an amateur,
as he left a lot of portable property
which would have been easier to dis
pose of than the sealslSin coat.
In police court this morning a person
giving the name of Frank Kelly calmly
stated that he had tried to rob a boarding
house, but was detected in the act. He
made absolutely no apologies, except that
ne did not mean to steal when he went in
the place, and was just looking around
At about o'clock this morning Kelly,
who seems to be transient with no Wis
ible means of support except his nerve,
was wandering along East Sixth avenue.
At 1903 East Sixth he observed a board
ing house. Some of the ladies of the
house, among them Mrs. Treadweu. the
hostess, were making a noise like break
fast. IT was almost getting-up time for
the guests. but the nervy person walked
in, upstairs and through the snoozing de-
partment. without being detected While
thus touring the place he observed some
2-for-a-quarter freckled hosiery and other
wearing apparel trying to hide under a
bed. Jerking the garments from their
place of refuge. he walked calmly and de-
liberately out of the house.

From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
Judge James J. Banks, the we'll
known Denver lawyer, is a native of
the south. 1t was in Birmingham, Ala,
that he hung out his first shingle. For
a long while Judge Banks sat in his
office and wondered what a law client
looked like. He would read and study
to pass the long hours away. Every
time he heard footsteps in the hall he
would straighten up, assume an air of
knowledge and wait, only to be dis
appointed. One day an old negro
woman entered his office.
us yo' de lawyah MANI" she asked.
Judge Banks Immediately was all at
tention. This surely was a client. He
answered in the affirmative.

"Ah wants ter ak yo device. Now, yo'

Judge Banks gave himself over TO
deep study for moment. Then he
told the old woman that, with due pro-
cess Of law, the landlord could be com
PEELED to give her months notice. The
first client was delighted.
"Well, now, young man. she said
"Ah's mighty much erbliged ter yo'

lawyer. Haven't you forgotten some
thing?"
"How's dat?" asked the old negress
Did All done drapped sometime"
NO" said Judge Banks, 'but my fee
is So. You must pay me for that ad
vice."
The old negress hesitated. Then she
took hold of the doorknob.
'Mistah," she said, "Ah doan want
yo' ole device. Keep hit. Dat rent

went
