court house and made a sprint for

The example set by Manley, al
though unsuccessful, seems to have
been contagious. As the gang were
brought back to the Jail the same
evening, and lined up in front Of the
cage, preparatory to being locked up
for the night, one of the prisoners
slipped into the padded cell, evidently
hoping that his absence would not be
discovered. But the count disclosed
the shortage, and he was soon discov-
cred and locked up.

MAMMOTH STRIKE OF RAIL
ROAD MEN THREATENED

An Associated Press dispatch fror1
Winnipeg, Manitoba under date Of
August 5, says that the biggest labor
dispute which the industrial history of
Canada has known eliminated today in
the form of general strike when the
employees of the mechanical department
of the Canadian Pacific railroad from
the Atlantic coast. 5000 in number,
laid down their tools and quit work
because the decision of the Cancellation
board, which was appointed under the
Lemineux act of the Canadian parlia-
ment, was not in accord with what they
wanted. Both in magnitude and the
fact that the interests affected cover
more territory than any strike that
has heretofore been recorded in rail
road circles, makes the strike his
torical.
Nearly half of the men involved are
on western sections of the road, the
exact number being 1920.
The total number of men on the
western lines is $500. The total number
in eastern lines is $500. The total mum
ber on the Canadian Pacific railroad
system is 5000.
Approximate figures show that the
average weekly payroll of the mechan-
ical department of the Canadian Pa
cifc is close to $25O,o00 Thus, if the
strike lasts month, it will take a
cool million dollars out of the pockets
of the 5000 men. The average daily
pay of each man is something under
"a. Rumors are current in some cir
cles that members Of the operating de-
partment would also 60 out in sympa-
thy, but this is thought to be hardly
probable. So far only the mechanical
departments are affected. 1t is under
stood in some quarters, however, that
the trainmen will walk out in sym.
pathy on Saturday.
Questioned upon this fact, the train
men representatives said today that
the matter of striking had never been
given consideration, and unless mae
ters took much greater development
than they did at present, they won Il
not in any active manner be affected

SENATOR ALLISON
DEAD

DUBUQUE, Ia, Aug. 4.-SenatOr
William Boyd Allison died in his Lo-
Gust street home ut 1888 o'clock this
afternoon With him at dissolution
were members of his household and a
physician. In bulletin announcing
his death Doctors Hancock and Lewis
gave heart failure as the cause.
The announcement of the senator :
death came as shock to his neigh
bors, as few were aware of his illness
Though for the last two years Senator
Allison was in declining health, and
though he suffered the loss of much vi
tality during the present summer, no
news had emanated from his home in
dicating the seriousness of his con-
dition.
Senator Allison suffered from the
worst form of prostate enlargement
and kidney affection made relief even
more difficult to afford.
AS is usual in such cases the senator
suffered frequently from periods of
faintness and weakness. These spells
have frequently occurred of late. The
last of them had its beginning on Fri
day and finally resulted in the pa
tents death.
Senator Allison had been a sufferer
for many years. For the last two years
he required relief twice daily and was
regularly visited by physicians. He
consulted the most eminent authorities
regarding his affliction but his advanc-
ed age prevented an operation
Roosevelt's Message.
OYSTER BAY, Aug 5.--President
Roosevelt today sent telegram to
Senator Allison s secretary as follows:
sAm inexpressibly shocked and
concerned at the news. The whole
country loses man grown gray IN
honorable type of public service; "a
man who because of his experience
and trained ability was one of the
nose effective aides in making good
government that we had in our
country.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT. -
Tribute Of Mr.. Bryan.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 5.4.-Wher
told of Senator Allison s death Mr.
Bryan said:
Mr.. Allison has had long ans
conspicuous career While he has been
for many years leader of his party
he had enjoyed the confidence of the
country regardless of party, and hi
death will be sincerely mourned.
/ Biographical Sketch.
The death of Senator Allison re
more than quarter of century ha
been one of it's most prominent mem
bers. He had served continuousl
since 1878, and for the greater par
of his term of service he was recog
nized as one of the most infuentia
members of that body. AS chairman
or the committee on appropriation

been in good health for some time, an,
fact had given rise to some speculation
as to whether he would be candidate

Tells How to Mix II.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the readers of a large New
York daily paper the following valuable,
yet simple and harmless prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one -half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being OF
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheuma tism.
The pain and swelling, il any, dimiuishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc, some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results
and the above will, no doubt, be great
ly appreciated by many sufferers here at
this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of thi:
neighborhood elicits the Information
that these drugs are harmless and car
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for oui
readers if asked to.
