Goldfield.-It looks as though the
business men and the unions are to
engage in a war with the Industrial
Workers of the World, an organiza-
ton of non-skilled laborers. There is
strong talk of taking the situation in
hand and clearing up the labor diff.
ficulties once and for all This, if 1t
is definitely decided upon, will mean
the indefinite closing down of every
mine in the camp, and a vacation for
the mine owners. Leases will be ex-
tended for the same length of time as
they are closed down, and mine own
ers, business men and many OF the
labor unions will stand shoulder to
shoulder.

BIG JAG IN THE MENACERIE.


strenuous Treatment for a Cold Wade
HATTIE. the Elephant. Tipsy.
The jolliest elephant ever for a few hours
yesterday was Hattie. the performing
pachyderm in the Central Park menagerie
The cause Of her happy condition was three
gallons of good First avenue whiskey,
which was administered to her in an ef-
fort to break up a cold.
The rear door Of her stall was left open
for a time Saturday when the keepers
were cleaning up and il is supposed that
this was the cause Of her trouble. When
Headkeeper Billy Snyder went to the
menagerie az 9 o'clock yesterday morning
he found that Hattie had the shivers. He
decided that the chill was indicative of a
severe cold and il was up to him to act
quickly.
Whiskey would do the trick. he thought.
and he called TO Keepers Hurton and Coch-
ran and sent them out. Hurton came back
after a time and said that the Third avenue
saloon keepers were suspicious Of any
stranger trying to buy whiskey in bulk
on Sunday. Cochran was more successful
further east and returned with three gal
Ions.
When Hattie got her first mouthful Of
the whiskey she liked II. Ii seemed to

she turned the bucket upside down in

Hattie wasn't used to FIRST avenue tipple
and she soon began to show IL. She stopped
shivering and began to weave, as circus
men call it, swaying from side to side
Then il seemed TO her that II was time to
perform her tricks. and she tried to stand
on her head. She couldn't do IL and tuIn-
bled over on her side. With the help OF
the three keepers she got upon her feet
again and put her trunk around the head
keeper as though in need OF support.
In an effort to do the cakewalk she again
fell down and the headkeeper decided to
let her sleep il OF for an hour. At the end
Of that time he got her up and brought out
a lot Of hay for her TO eat. Hay is the
brandy and soda for an elephant drunk. in
his opinion.
Whether il was the hay or not Hattie
was sober by noon and in the afternoon
she was able TO perform for the visiting
public.

alleged to have bsen written by Cen. George
H.. Thomas, and said 20 be In Mr.. JoneS's

tion for = commission In the Confederate

lsbenoe among tho flea Of the Southera
Historical Society. which has its head
quarters In the Confederate museum here.

dent Of the Virginia Military Institute. and
contained a request that should Virginia
