CHELL ISSUES STATEMENT

Chicago, Nov. i, 1907 The Rock
Island railroad system has laid off
$500 men from its construction and
track forces. Although the road CEN
ters in Chicago, the order did not
affect any employees in this city and
the maintenance crews we're not dis

every western state where the road
goes, from Illinois to Texas, were re-
duced by the number mentioned.
President B. l.. Winchell said
"The men laid off we're engaged in
Improvement work in the various
states and the number is no larger
than il other years. We are noi
touching the maintenance crews
Trade conditions are still flourishinl
and there is no sign Of let-up if

DOG MANS
DANDER UP

Jim Myers Of Tuttle was in town
today with blood in his eye. He IS
the owner Of some Of the swiftest
dogs in the county and he had heard
that certain parties in Chickasha
were making big talk about some
dogs they had recently acquired.
II challenge any man in the state
to a one dog race on fox or wolf
and the other fellow can name the
terms If Mart Louthan, Kilgore Or
anybody else, wants 4 dog race, I'm
their hucklebery and they cannot
trot out their dogs too quick said
MI. Myers.
How this challenge will be receive
ed remains 20 be seen, but If it does
not result in the hottest dog race ev-
er pulled of on this side Of the
creek, it win be dog-gone strange.

DOCTORS SAY WOMEN
CROSS LEGS TOO MUCH

Philadelphia, Aug. 3.-Dr. Josef Gar
zourka, Of Budapest, says American
women cross their legs too much. The
practice makes them ervou he de-
clares. and generally undermines their
health.
DIR. G~arzourka is touring the world
in the interest of science and cached
Philadelphia today after a weeks stay
in New York.
Imagine sitting in a car and see
ing a comedy young woman cross her
legs in such a manner that one her
limbs is displayed sometimes to the
knee" he said. I'm no country on the
continent can women be seen sitting
in public with their legs crossed so.
To me it is astounding. l have OBJ
served II In New York and here in
Philadelphia it is also the custom. I
am given to understand ii Is so all over
America.
mo wonder you women are nerv-
Gus. Such positions as they assume
while sitting, to my mind, are suff-
Gent to cause the undermining Of their
nerves and health"

SEIZED BY CYCLONE
LOSES HIS IDENTITY

Vinisca, Ia, Aug. 3.-Picked up and
carried a long distance by a cyclone
when a little more than a baby, Charles
Bennett for many years was ignorant
of his true identity and would have
been yet had he not had a quarrel with
his supposed father.
He was adopted and taken to Louis
lana by the people who picked him up,
and was reared to manhood there. Ben
nett came here two days aSo TO visit
his sister, Mrs. Benjamin Richardson,
of whose existence he did not know a
few days previous.
The Bennett family were victims of
a severe oruado which swept over
Harrison county, Missouri, some eight
cen years ago. Young Bennett was
then a child 6 years OF age. He was
picked up by the storm n carried y
distance Of several miles and dropped
in the yard of a farmer named Hud-
son, uninjured, save that his eyes and
mouth were full OF mud. Hudson cared
for the child for a month. and with his
wife took him and left for Louisiana,
where he has since lived.
The boy was reared TO know no 9TH
or parents than the Hudsons until a
short time ago, when he and Hudson
had some differences and the story of
his life Yves told him. He was given
500 and told where he might get
trace OF his relatives. Then ne began
the search which ended in his finding a
brother in Fairfield, Neb.. and his sis
ter in tins vicinity.
His mother is now living In Californ-
la. His father died foVr years ago..

.ChlLD'S DEATH ADDS
TO S%TRANGLER'S VICTIMS

New York. Aug. 3.-The excitement
caused in the city by the recent atroc-,
ious crimes against women and chill
dren was greatly increased today by
the discovery of the body Of an Swear
pld girl in the cellar of an East Side
tenement
The child had been assaulted n
murdered,
There were marks on the throat in
dicating that perhaps she was
~strangled.
Suspicion that the child was choked
ito death, taken In connection with
the murder OF Sophie Kohrer and of an
unidentified woman, by strangulation,
leads the police to believe there is
a maniac at large in the city who pos
'sesses an impulse to kill women and
tchildren by choking. "tSa1
The child was identified as Katie
Dritschler, daughter Of a German
waiter and who had been missing a
week.
An examination shows that she was
killed In exactly the same as
Sophie Kohrer. Deeply imbedded In
the flesh of her neck was found a hair
ribbon from her own hair, drawn and
tightly knotted.

STRIKERS At WORK,
URGED TO VIOLENCE
Minnesota Leader Reminds
That Western Federation OF
Miners Is Behind Men.

Duluth, Aug. 3.-Work on the ore
docks began promptly this morning.
There is no trouble. In the range u
try everything is quilt and hundreds of
men went to work.
1t is feared trouble may result from
an infammatory speech by Petriella
before a mass meeting of strikers at
Chisholm. .Petriella's speech was re-
paated in four languages, and had a
strong noticeable effect on the men.
He said the ome was at hand when
the miners should take the law into
their own hands. He ordered the men
to arm themselves and be prepared to
strike to kill. He said he did not care
how many of them We're killed for
cause and urged them to fight to the
last.
Petriella said he had wired Governor
Johnson who replied that he would
make a personal investigation.
Il want you to give them twenty
four hours and If at the end of that
time justice is denied us be ready to
strike any man who tries to crush
you said the leader.
He advised the men to keep within
their halls and guard them with rifles.
The Western Federation of Miners, he
said, was behind them.

WITS APE FEAST
FROM THE PULPIT
Pastor Scores Givers Of Chims
panzee Banquets for
Their FrivoIity.

Pawtucket, r.. l., Aug. 3.-ScathinA
rebuke induced by the recent chin
panzee luncheon given by Mr.. n Mrs.
70. II. p. Belmont at Newport was di-
'rected toward members of society in
that summer resort by Rev. Eric l.
Linch, of the Smithfield Avenue Con-
gregational church.
He declared from the pulpit that the
incident was a parallel in many ways
to the famous bible story of the Feast
of Belshazzar. Under the title OF
Might Scenes in the Holy Land he
took the bible story as an example
from which morals n lessons for
modern times might be drawn.
The point of view" said the preach
er, lis radically wrong in those men
who can, amid life's serious work, de-
vote their time and thought to frivoltty
and feasting. In our own state we have
frequent illustrations Of the sinful
waste and frivolity OF the Newport
set. Banquets to chimpanzees and
other desperate attempts TO while
away the time in inanity and useless
ness mark the career Of the so-called
upper classes
And the point is not so much the
excess OF debauchery as the fact that
such a method of spending time and
talent should be tolerated"

FROM HAND SQUEEZE

st. Louis, Aug. 3.-Henry s.. Goodwin, of
Overland Park, st. Louis county. was
tried for squeezing the hand of Mrs. Laura
Kirkpatrick and fracturing two bones in
her wrist. The technical charge was as
sault and battery. The squeezing is said
ito nave happened June %. The case was
before Justice of the Peace A. II Werre-
meyer, In Clayton. After two hours tes-
ltimony II was taken under advisement.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick says her horse strayed
from her premises In Overland Park and
onto the property of Goodwin, adjoining.
She went over TO get the horse, but Good
win refused to give II up, she says, unless
sshe gave him several dollars. which she
refused TO do. She then attempted to gain
possession Of 1t by physical force.
In the scuffle Goodwin, she says, caught
her by the hand and squeezed It very hard.
She was ATTENDED by Doctor O'Bear and
carried her hand in splints for several
weeks.

SOLDIERS KILL
STRIKERS AT LODI

LODI, Aug. 3.-The city is again the
scene of "A strike movement accom-
panied by violence, disorder death.
Troops have encountered strikers in
the center of the town, and thirty
men have been killed or wounded.
Business at a standStill n fears
are entertained of what the day may
bring forth.
The trouble came to a head yester-
day in snite OF the aggressive stand
taken by the authorities II the dis
cord continued today.
The strike is would appear, is the
beginning of a big labor war, n the
workmen's unions are prepared for a
long struggle. The Immediate
was the course pursued by the po-
lice during the past eight days In max
ing MANY arrests in attempts to break
up the unions. The principal socialist
leaders have been thrown into jail.
The police nave been so energetic
they have united the social democrats.
Polish socialist and n~ationalists and
hitherto merciless enemies. A general
strike has been declared by the social
democrats and Polish socialists, who
have called out $4,000 men. The ma
tionalists nave been forced to join the
committee Of the amalgamated unions.
The committee has ordered all busi-
ness in Lode to cease and is enforcing
It's orders with armed men. S
Several shopkeepers refused to close
and have been shot.
Yesterday bands OF laborers wrecked
a number Of street cars and later used
them as barracades from which to
stone the police.
The disorders grew a. the day wore
on and at 3 p. m. the military forces
modified but there was no engagement
with workmen until 9 p. m. At this
hour the opposing forces came to-
gether and the fighting was prolonged.
The workmen fired several hundred
shots from automatic pistols and did
not dispense until they had been
charged by the cavalry and at least
thirty killed or wounded.
The town was patrolled constantly
last night by detachments of Cossacks,

Washington. A ug. 2.-Corroboratln8
the report that the battleship feet Will
be transferred to the Pacific coast Is
the announcement that the admirals
and the chief officers of the army are
on their way or will soon depart from
here for San Francisco, and other Pa
cific coast points.
They go to prepare for the arrival
and maintenance OF the powerful fleet
which Is to rendezvous in Pacific wa
ters.
Three admirals who have been or
dered to make this trip are Admiral
Capps. head OF the bureau of naviga-
ton and repairs; Admiral Cowles, pres
ident Rooseyelt's brother-in-law. OF the
bureau of equipment, and Admiral
Hollyway. of the bureau Of yards and
docks.
Lieutenant Commander Spencer s.
Wood. who is Admiral Dewey's aid will
also arrive Oh the coas n soon after
will go General Arthur Murray, head OF
the bureau of artillery.
Extensive plans have been mapped
out for these officers to put in execu-
ton and they include not only the
equipment and maintenance of the big
fleet with thousands OF men, but for the
Notifications and mining Of every har-
Dor of Importance along the Pacific
coast from Eremerton to Magadalen
bay.
In the meantime preparations for the
sending Of Admiral Evans great fleet
are going steadily ahead, though every
effort is mad to quiet talk about 1t.
Admiral Evans is reporting daily to the
nav department.
Japanese relations, though calm on
the surface are not improving, and Jap
anese immigrants continue to pour into
this country through Mexico. The state
department has been forced to turn to
Mexico for aid in checking the tide.
No progress is being made in the ne
gotiations with Japan.
An interesting phase of the fleet move
Is that President Castro. OF Venezuela,
threatens TO become defiant again over
the debts due to Americans and Ad-
miral Evans may be ordered to show
up off the Venezuelan coast long
enough TO bring Castro to his senses.
