Problem Of the Panama Canal.

The troubles which beset the Pana.
ma officials in their efforts to obtain
and retain workingmen and clerks,
has been told in various ways. You
have no idea how hard 1t is to get
canal employees to stick to the 18th.
mus" said an official Of the isthmian
canal commission 1T keeps us busy
finding men to take the places OF
those who go to Panama and leave
after few weeks Of work
! shall say that four months is the
average length Of time put in by
most OF our clerks. or course, some
Of the men stay longer. They get
higher pay and seem content to re-
main. But the great bulk Of our en-
ployes are fellows with rowing dispo-
sitions and a love for adventure. They
think they will see some fun on. the
isthmus. and a few weeks OF the hard
work and dreary life are enough for
them"

Governor Little Some Better.

A message from Greenwood tc the Gazette of Thursday morning says the condition of Gov. John s. Little took an unexpected turn for the better Wednesday. He slept well Tuesday night and took con siderable nourshment. The pa tient was not as nervous as he had been in the past few days and al together the symptoms that morn inh pointed to a distinct improve ment in his condition. He was sleeping quietly when the message was sent.
 The fight that the governor is making for life causes wonder among his friends. All the mem bers of his family are present at the bedside but it is probable that Paul Little will leave for Little Rock in a day or two if the condi- tion of the governor continues to improve.

She rested her elbow on the chair arm for a moment and pressed her hand against her temple. Then, rais- ing her head quickly with a satisfied air, she eXclaimed:
 Why, yes! l could send for Annie Weston, and she would be delighted to come! It would do the poor girl good, too, she added thoughtfully she has been i'll so long and is just beginning to improve That's exactly what I'll dol"
 Who is Annie Weston?" I asked with interest, for the idea seemed to have brought new hope into her eyes and was glad that It had come from my suggestion.
 "Oh!" she was school friend of mine and is the sweetest girl that ever lived" returned Miss Carney Her father and mother are both dead and she is quite alone in the world, so she can come just as well as not, and know she will love to be here as much as I will to have her. I should have asked her to visit me long ago, but she was taken ill soon after we left school and is only beginning to get back her strength"
 The day after the funeral returned to the city and, rather than subject Miss Carney to any inconvenience by accepting her offer of the only car riage at her disposal since the stable hands had deserted the place, 1 rode to the railway station in the trap that i had brought me down.
 So you're old Carney's lawyer, be ye?" inquired my driver, with rustic familiarity, crossing his legs and lean ing one arm carelessly over the back of the seat in front of me.
 1 admitted that I was, with monosyl- labic brevity, and we proceeded in silence for a few rods.
 "Spose he left plenty O. money?" was the next query.
 Enough for the needs of his fam ily,' I replied.
 "Pshaw!" he returned, in evident disgust, that's all ye'd say if he was worth ten thousand dollars!"
 Another short period of silence elapsed and then he began abruptly: Powerful strange to me haow drink in man like Eim could acc 7ilate so
The Huttig news., 1907-06-01

By the way, what made the men leave the place so suddenly" l asked, cautiously, thinking to divert the fel- lows gabble into more profitable channels. You know they have all gone, except the servants that were brought from the city"
 Wal" said the man with delibera- tion, skipping the horses back with the reins and wriggling uncomfortably in his seat, they left fur two reasons, 1 guess. In fac, the folks 'baout here ain't over anxious to work up to the place anyway, though they was allus willin' to be obligin' an accommodate ole Carney when they want nuthin' else fur 'em to do; but naow, it's con- ruther work at hayin'."
 The man had turned his back on me completely and was urging the horse forward at rapid gait.
 Very generous of them to accom- modate him when they had nothing else to do and then leave his daugh- ter as they have, just because haying time is here" commented. But you said there were two reasons What is the other?"
 We rode on in silence for quite a dlstance until, at length, the fellow re- spcnded in gruff voice and without turning his head
 Wal! it may be true an it may be not! All know is what heerd up to Hoskins'. don't take no great notice O ghosts an sich. But them men knows what they seen the night after the Widder Bruce's boy died an I know that ye couldn't git one of 'em on the place again with team O steers! No, sir! knowin' as they do, the character O man that ole Carney was, an the way he as good as mur- dered that poor lad with his cussin' an quarrelin' an fallin' off his hoss stead O goin' to the stable an sad dlin' up himself, like any man would that want too lazy to take off his coat when he ct, it ain't no wonder they believed what the Widder Bruce tole 'em more'n year ago!"
 He paused here and licked a fly from the horses neck with dex- terous cast of his whip
 What did the Widom Bruce tell them?" asked anxiously, fearing that his communicative mood would leave him.
 Wal, she come over here from Eng land with her boy 'baout the time ole Carney was a-buildin' his haouse, an she sez, as soon as she seen it, that it was goin' to be jest like them places over in England where them docks an sech fellers live, that sooner or later someone ud die vilent death there, an then the place 'ud be ha'nt- ed same's the docks places mostly is.
 70 course, we didn't pay no special attention to her.

 You were good to come so soon, y she said gratefully, extending her hand with winning grace. T wanted to send a carriage to meet you, but all the stablemen have left since the little boy died 1 have only the house servants that we brought from town"
 I made the best answer I could un- der the circumstances for, while her recent bereavement was more than enough to excite my deepest sym pathy, the fact that her father had been our best client for many years gave to my presence at the house a mercenary taint not exactly consist ent with noblesse obGge.
 Luncheon was served as soon as returned from my room, and 1 was seated opposite my hostess at small round table. l had never seen Miss Carney before and it cannot be de- nied that the vision of nay sweet faced companion, partly concealed by the palms between us, was in no way unappreciated by my masculine eye. After luncheon we sat in the library and talked over briefly the events of the past few days.
 I had learAed from my garrulous driver in the forenoon the circum- stances that accompanied MT. Car ney's tragic death, and. my interview with his daughter had more to do with the arrangement of her future affairs than with any references to the past.
 "I wish Jack were here," she said suddenly; ''it is so hard to be alone "
 T cabled him as soon as I received your telegram" I replied, "and he can get ship tomorrow or the day after. But must you be alone? Have you no friends here in the villagee"
 Not ore" she returned You know we live very much by ourselves out here and-and-the village people have never taken kindly to father-or -or-to me, for that matter. In fact, D she continued, smiling wanly through her tears, they think us worldly and purse-proud and-and stuck up,' if do so much for them, and laid out work that wasn't at all necessary and all that-just to give them employ ment. Why! last winter, when some of the people were nearly starving, he had ice cut in the river and piled up on the banks for weeks at a time to keep the men busy, bu. as soon as the warm weather came they forgot it all and even said he was fool who threw away his money. Mo-" she added slow fly, q haven't a friend in the village to whom l could turn"
 But there must be someone" in sisted; somebody who could come here and stay with you until your brother returns"

 CHAPTER |.
 A Mystery Is Started,


That old John Carney dropped dead of apoplexy in his saddle while vio- lently cursing the stable-boy for a trivial delay in bringing his horse to the door was not regarded by the com munity as any special cause for re- gret but that the boy, who was kicked in the head by the plunging and terri fled beast, died a few hours later, was looked upon in the village as little short of murder.
 Young John was In Honolulu, pre- sumably keeping a watchful eye on the family's sugar interests, but prob ably devoting himself to sociological studies and charitable work among the natives. Florence, the only daugh- ter, was the mistress of her fathers house, her mother having died in the early nineties. She was the only member of the family at home when the accident occurred
 She telegraphed immediately to me, l being the youngest and practically the only active partner in the firm of lawyers that managed her fathers af- fairs. l responded at once in person and was at CarneyCroft by noon the next day.
 l was astonished, not only by the extent of the place, but at it's beauty and almost ~aronial magnificence. There were acres upon acres of vel yety lawns intersected by miles upon miles of well-bedded roads and bridle paths, while the timber had been weeded out by master hand so craft fly that one was given the impression of an old and long inhabited estate rather than of park hewn out of 8 virgin forest within a single decade.
 The house was even more of a sur prise than the grounds, for although it was, in some respects, scarcely fin ished, it was already moss-grown and ivy=clad and suggested Jacobaan structure of very respectable an- tiquity.
 f Miss Carney was watching for me at the entrance, and came running down the steps of the broad terraces surrounding the mansion, to greet me the more cordially as l clambered out

 T never knew that MT. Carney was a drinking man," I replied, with sud den interest in my companions gos sip. "I mean," I continued, T never knew that he drank to excess"
 Drink" exclaimed the man. Why! they want nuthin' he wouldn't do! Drink, smoke, gamble an cuss, be- sides throwin' away his money on most wasteful things! When Sam Hoskins' boy was workin up to the frum the city, a friend O hisn, a-play in poker one day, an one or t'other of 'em, l fergit which twas, lost seven dollars an 80 cents! An as to drink in, while he done most of it in the haouse, he want above taktl' glass too!
 T rec'lec', one day, a-settin' on the stoop at Hoskins' waitin' fur shaow- CT to blow over, when l was gittin' in my hay, an ole Carney drove up in his buggy. We was all a-talkin' abaout Freemasons, an as he climbs aout sez to him, sez I, Be you Freema- son?' sez I. 'No,' sez he, I hain't,' sez he. but I'm free thinker sez he, an 1 think I'll take drink, sez he. 'Ye won't be a free drinker,' sez Hos kins, under his breath and winkin' at me, as he follers him into the barroom to wait on him., an sure enough, he

But they want no other way out of it, fur they didn't have bite to eat nor a rag to wear, an if the boy hadn't decided to accom- modate Carneys folks l guess they'd ha' starved.

Railroad Equipment Finds Happy
Surprise In Getting Onto Old

comfortable inside, with suitable hunks at
one end and, being thirty feet long, was
divided of into sleeping, eating and loafng
compartments and was about the most con-

he happened to get the car. 1t had been

Mayor Dahlman wednesday afternoon L.
sued his proclamation ordering that all
dogs running at large be muzsled from
April to July 8. Mayor Jim's pronuncia-
mento reads as follows
To the Citizens of Omaha: A large num-
Der Of our citizens are alarmed over the
mad dog scare" now prevailing N our
city. My attention has been called to sew
eral instances where people have been
bitten by dogs recently. While these par
ticular dogs may not be affected with
rabies, yet II leaves certain amount OF
unrest and doubt in the minds of those
directly interested. Under the law / am
empowered as chief executive TO issue an
order that all dogs within the city OF
Omaha shall be muzzled.
l therefore direct that for the next ninety
days, beginning April 8, 1907, and ending
July 5, 1907 all dogs of either sex within
the city limits Of Omaha shall be mus
Eled, and any dog found unmuzzled outside
of the premises OF the owner OF said dog
shall be at once killed by the police OF
by those in charge OF the dog pound.
JAMES c. DAHLMAN, Mayor.
Efforts TO ascertain what, II any special
brand. OF muzzles must be bought have not
been successful
