GETTING READY FOR
THE CELEBRATION
LABOR DAY COMMITTEES HARD
AT WORK PREPARING FOR
THE AFFAIR.

At meeting last night of the COM
mittee appointed to make arrange
ments for celebrating Labor day, the
general plan for the affair was out
lined. In the first place arrange
ments were made with the manage
ment of the baseball teams SO as to
have the game between the Ogden
and the Ely team that was scheduled
for September 2, changed for an ear
lier date. The COMMITTEES will do
nate $40O toward defrayine the ex-
penses of the ball team and an ex-
cursion and two games will be played,
one on Saturday, the 31st instant,
and the other on Sunday, September
1st
The committee has collected ST.
600 and will spare no pains to make
the affair one of the greatest in the
camps history. An excursion will be
run from Ogden and Salt Lake and
it is expected that there will be a
great many visitors in town from out
side places. The local merchants are
Joining hands with the union men in
the movement and all are working to
make the affair a grand success.
The days festivities will commence
with a parade in which each union
will be represented by float. The
painters are at work on an elaborate
float. The committee plans upon
making the parade big feature of
the celebration. After the parade the
literary exercises will take place.
Lieutenant Governor Dickerson has
been selected to deliver the address
upon the occasion. There will be
musical numbers, the band having
been engaged for the day.
The athletic exercises will follow,
one of tie greatest attractions being
the drilling contest Good prizes are
to be offered for each event. There
will be two horse races, burro race,
fat mans race, squaw race, girls and
boys races and hose cart race. The
last contest will probably be partici-
pated in by the three local hose COM
panies, and as there is considerable
rivalry among the companies the race
ought to be quite drawing card
The days celebration will be
brought to a close with dance,
which will be an elaborate affair. The
committee on programs is preparing
some very novel amusements in the
program line.
The committee will meet again to-
night.

FOUR PEOPLE MEET
DEATH BY DROWNING
BOAT CAPSIZES IN SACRAMENTO
RTyER-TWO OCCUPANTS AND
TWO RESCUERS PERISH.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20.-Four
people, two of whom are believed to
be residents of Oakland, met death
by drowning here this afternoon in
the Sacramento river, 800 yards
above the confluence of that stream
with the American river. Two bod
les have since been recovered. Two
of the victims of the treacherous cur
rent were drowned in an attempt to
rescue the other two.
Charles Palm and girl whose
identity is unknown arrived here yes
terday with the intention of spend
ing their vacation with relatives on a
houseboat. The lad of seventeen
years and the girl who came here
with him, said to be his cousin, had
crossed to the Yolo side of the river
in a duck-boat. AS they were about
to disembark the bow of the boat was
carried under the flooring of the
houseboat. The current is strong at
this point and in moment the boat
had capsized.
Mrs. Charles White, the sister OF
Palm, was alone in the houseboat at
the time and it is believed that hear
ing the cries of Palm and his COM
panion as they struggled in the wa
ter, she ran from the cabin and jump
ed into the river in the hope of effect
ing a rescue. The shrieks of Palm
and the girl were also heard by EN-
anuel Grigs, fisherman who lived in
another houseboat short distance
down the river Grigs ran along the
bank to the White houseboat, where
he saw the three struggling together
in the water. Without stopping to
remove his boots he dove in after
them. He succeeded in getting hold
of the two women and was scarcely a
stroke from the houseboat when he
uttered an agonizing shrek and sank
beneath the water with the two wo-
men, who had been clinging to him
Mrs. White was about twenty years
old and had many friends on the Yolo
side of the river. At the time of the
disaster her husband was absent on
fishing trip. Charles Palm operat.
ed a moving picture machine in the
Novelty theater, Oakland. His COM
panion, who was apparently not more
than sixteen, is said to have been an
actress of the bay region.

WORLDWIDE
STRIKE imminent
TeIesraphers Of America Have
Been NEGOTIATING With Eng.
lish Association.
REFUSE HANDLE CABLEGRAMS
Are Assured of Cooperation of
Every Socialist Operator
of Europe.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-A world
wide tlegraphers' strike is imminent
1t has not been generally known, but
it has developed that the officers of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
of America have been carrying on me-
gotiations for more than year with
the Telegraph Clerks association OF
England with a view of bringing
about a working alliance between the
English and Aemrican telegraphers
They have so far succeeded that SYM
pathetic action in the present strike
is assured. Any attempts to man the
American cable stations in Canso
North Sydney, and Hearts Content,
Nova Scotia, will result in the refusal
of English operators to handle cable
grams from America.
Should the British end of the
transatlantic cables be manned by
non-union men, the action would be
sure to precipitate a general strike
of all telegraphers in England.
That the strike may extend to the
European continent and spread over
the entire world seems probable A
M. Simond, editor of the Chicago
Daily Socialist, the American national
labor union organ, and delegate to
the international socialists conven-
tion at Stuttgart, Germany. is author
lied to present before the convention,
which is practically one of labor Or
ganizations, the question of estab-
fishing defensive and offensive alli-
ance between the telegraphers of
America, Europe, Australia and the
Orient. President S. ]. Small of the
Commercial Telegraphers of America
said:
I'VE are assured of the co-opera-
ton of every socialist operator of
Europe. They consist of 80 per cent
of the telegraphers of the continent
and three-fourths of the operators of
the British colonies. When nom
union men begin to send cablegrams
from America a walk-out from Eng
lish and European Offices is inevita-
BILE.
Already we have bottled up the
Orient by cutting off San Francisco.
II this were not sufficient we have as
surances from the socialist operators
of Japan that during the strike they
will refuse all messages from Ameri-
ca. This strike will demonstrate to
the world that labor interests are
fully awake to the necessity for unit
ed action"

SHERIFF CLARK OF
ELKO COUNTY HERE
STATES THAT THERE Is NOT
MUCH HOPE OF CAPTURING
MISSING ROBBER.

Sheriff Clark of Elko county Is in
town, having come over from Cherry
! Creek last night. He has many
friends here and has not been in town
for five years. The sheriff notes
many changes in Ely and hardly re-
cognized the place.
A News representative questioned
him concerning the recent robbery at
Cobre in which Ben Gillian was
killed. He stated that the country
had been very carefully searched and
that it was doubtful whether the
other robber would be captured.
1.-The men were attired in gunny-
sack gowns" said the sheriff. I'm
addition to the masks they wore they
had mosquito bar over their faces
and it was impossible to see their
countenances. If we catch the other
highwayman it will be by a mere
chance"
1t seems that two men who were
seated outside the saloon when the
robbers stepped up to the place,
heard one of them remark as he
peeked through the doorway:
"Well have to kill that -"
Gillian was seated in the barber S
chair in back of the bar and as the
man in the back entered the place he
reached for his gun, not seeing the
other at the front door. AS he did
so the robber at the front door fired
| blowing the top of Gilliam's head
off. A man was asleep on table
at the rear of the saloon and the rob-
| ber who came in through the back
door made this individual haul Gil
liam's body out from behind the bar.
Seeing he was dead he took the mon-
ey while his partner lined the men up
against the wall.

.FINAY COULD NOT
EXPLAIN DISH AFFAIR

Use hab no hardl feelings against
you, Mr.. Austin," pleaded Allen Fin
ley yesterday as he appeared before
Justice Cartwright to answer to a
charge of stealing some of Ed Aus
tins dishes. Il knows 1 got mixed
up slightly with the dishes, but |
has no feelings againts YOU"
He pleaded not guilty, but it was
proved that he had taken the dishes
from the Mocha cafe and had sold
them to P. Newman of the Newman
Produce store for 81. When he learn
ed that the officers were after him
he returned the dishes to the restau-
rant and likewise returned the dollar
to Newman.
The court found him guilty and
sentenced him to pay fine of $40
and costs. On account of the strin-
gency of the money market he will
probably spend the time in the coun-
ty jail.

Morris in buying and selling securi-
ties without the directors authority.
Last Thursday Morris started for
New York with bonds of the local
telephone company amounting to ST.
800, 900, apparently intending to dis
pose of the same in order to put the
bank in better condition. The CASH
ier's friends say that if he had been
allowed to continue business a little
longer the bank would have wealth

POOR LITTLE BUSTER
MET TRAGIC DEATH

Poor little Buster is dead. having
met tragic death last evening while
following the Ely City bus. The dog
was owned by Lewis, the druggist.

at horses and swapping at their legs.
He made fatal mistake yesterday,
however, as Arthur Dennison, the
driver of the bus, has Maud's sister
in one of the teams and when Buster
attempted to snap at the mules hoof
he was quickly kicked. The blow
stunned him and he got mixed up
among the hoofs and was unable to
get out of the way of the wheels. His
head was crushed, his neck broken
and death was instantaneous.

DIG UP AND EAT DEAD.
Editor China News Tells Famine
Conditions.

Washington, April S.-To correct
an erroneous report that has found
general circulation with harmful re-
suits, the Red Cross today issued
the following statement in regard to
the Chinese famine:
THE famine in China is unprece-
dented in severity and the period of
greatest agony is yet to come. Many
weeks is to come before there will
be relief from new crops and mil
lions today are kept alive only
through the contributions of the
American people who have sent
their donations to the National Red
Cross at Washington and to" the
Christian Herald of New York.
These two great organizations are
working together for the common
cause and have furnished over two
thirds of all recipients at large.
The following foreign cablegram
received by the editor of the Chris
tan Herald from the editor of the
North China News. terrible as it
may seem, speaks only the truth:
Shanghai. April 8. - Klospsch,
New York-approaching period of
severest pinch. Authenticated in
stances of corpses exhumed; canni-
balism. Foreign relief is working
effectively, maintaining whole dis
tricts until harvest.
When a people have been reduced
to such straits that they will dig up
and eat their own dead and severity
and wide extent of the famine can
be realized.

vARNIsH is NOT WANTED.
Distinctly Out of Place on Dining
Room Table.

When buying a dining room table
insist that the varnish be removed
from the top. The comfort of such
a table. when so treated, can only be
appreciated by those who have had
the varnish removed, as any hot dish
can then be placed on it without fear
of defacing the wood, says writer In
Good Housekeeping. A woman can
easily remove the varnish from an old
table with any of the "varnish remov-
ers' to be obtained at a paint shop.
Wash the table and, when thorough
ly dry, oil it with boiled linseed oil.
Rub the oil well into the grain of the
wood until it has all been absorbed.
A sure test would be to pass small
piece of white satin over it and when
it remains unsoiled the table is ready
for use. Once each week, thereafter,
clean carefully with a damp cloth;
then dry and take two by two-inch
piece of tissue paper wet with oil and
go over the top of the table, following
this with careful rubbing In a few
weeks you secure a higher polish than
ever before. If more oil is used for
the weekly oiling it accumulates and
the table is harder to care for.

Hoarhound affy.

This is an old-time candy that our
grandmothers deemed effectual for
hoarseness and cough. Cover half
ounce of dried hoarhound leaves with
a gill of boiling water, and stand aside
for an hour, closely covered. Strain
through cheesecloth, squeezing until
all the juice is extracted. Put this
with pound of brown sugar in a
saucepan, add two tablespoonfuls of
water and a tablespoonful of lemon
Juice or vinegar, stir until the sugar
is dissolved, remove the spoon and
cook without stirring until a little
dropped in cold water is brittle. Pour
into a creased pan and mark, when
partly cold, into squares. If these
candies are too bitter for your taste
lessen the amount of the hoarhound
a little.
