through omaha yesterday afternoon. The
following injunction plank drawn by for
mcr Mayor Dunno of that city was given

views:
'"The right Of Il court of chancery to

such writ should issue ex partc, and with

made to appear that irreparable injury

case the motion to dissolve such injunc-
ton shall Take precedence and shall be
heard and determined before any other

with or without notice. an ample bond
shall be eNacted Of complainant sufficient
to cover all damages resulting to defend
ant from the issuance of such "A writ, in

VERY LITTLE LEISURE
For Sec. Taft Even While Seeking
Rest and Recreation.

Hot Springs, Va, July 6.--When W.
II. Taft arose today he more than ever
realized what difficult task 1t Is 10
be candidate for the Presidency anu
TO attempt to secure rest even anna
the isolation of the mountains or VIZ
rinia. A mass Of correspondence IS
coming to him, necessitating ms per-
sonal attention and the dictation OF
MANY letters. But insisting upon divld-
ing his time between work and recrea-
ton. he accepted challenge made by
Frank b. Kellogg for another game OF
golf on the Mountain links.
Mr. Tafts horses have arrived ana
hereafter he will alternate golf WIN
riding over the mountain paths.
This afternoon he had another con-
ference with Senator Crane. VINO eA-
pected to leave here tonight accom-
panied by Representative Lawrence oi
Massachusetts who came with hin' MI.
Cranes visit has set at rest susses-
tions that he will be enlisted in inc
active work of the campaign IN any
important way He has talked over
the situation in New England In great
detail and his suggestions have been
carefully noted by Mr.. Taft.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana ana
Representative Mckinley of Illinois
had a discussion today with Mr.. Tatt.
Senator Beveridge's talk concerned the
difficulties stirred up in his state by
the action of the convention as to the
Fairbanks delegates and Mr.. Mckinney
concerning the treasurership of the ma
tional committee Mr.. Taft considers
it highly important that there should
be assurances of harmony in indiana
over the craftsmanship, whoever may
fill that position.
Representative Mckinley is talked OF
for the treasurership but Charles Ii
Dawes of Chicago, formerly comptrol-
Ter of the currency is still in mind for
that office.

LONG WISHED REFORM.
A Departure in Church Government
Which Will Work Good.

Washington, July 6.-That the Pom
titical order re-organizing the jursdic-
ton of the Propaganda announced
from Rome today will mark a wide
departure in Catholic church govern
ment, was the declaration today by
Monsignor Bonaventurc Cheeretti, the
auditor of the Papal legation, who
confirmed the news.
1t is expected that the change, the
movement for which has been in pro-
grss for some time against the Propo-
ganda's opposition, will be enthusiastic
cally welcomed in the countries af-
fected. The Roman Catholic hierarchy
in the United States as well as the 9TH
er countries mentioned will now be
permitted to treat directly with the
Papal secretary of state and will have
the same standing at the Vatican as
France. Spain or Austria.
The new arrangement will simplify
the naming of bishops and other prel-
atcS.

The order to show cause in the
divorce case of Ethel l.. Clarke
against Dudley Clarke, which has
twice been continued upon the mo-
ton of the attorneys in the case,
was dismissed this morning by or
der of Judge Hinkle. Attorney

she stated that her husband had
taken illegal possession of her
property aud the business of the
Spokane Tea & Coffee Co. and
asked for a restraining order to
compel him to turn over to her the
funds in his possession, and to sur
render the management of the bust
ness. Following the first order an.
other was issued citing the defend
ant to appear and show cause why
he had not abided by the ruling OF
the court. BY the settlement Mr.
Clarke was given the undisputeC
control of the store ON Riverside
avenue. The divorce matter is still
pending In court.

LIFT RIVER OVER
MOUNTAINS
YOUNG MEN PERFORM GREAT
EST FEAT OF THE KIND
EVER RECORDED IN HUGE
ALASKA UNDERTAKING.

DAWSON, Oct. 23.-The work OF
lifting a river of water 20 miles
over mountains, and turning ii
against the golden gravels of the
heart of the Klondike, has been
completed by the Yukon Gold Co
The tremendous work involved has
required three years of persistent
activity, and a corps of thousands
of men, heade dby skillful engi-
neers.
The mammoth conduit is ready
for the water, but il will not be
turned on until next spring. Much
of next season, likely. will be re-
quired to get the ditch into first
class condition, but great deal
of service will be afforded next
season, and the gravel will be sent
spinning before many large giants.
BY the spring of 1910 things will
be moving nicely, and in 1911 the
Yukon gold plant will be operating
in full force, with everything hum
ming in the gravel handling line.
A. n. c. Treadgold, the organizer
of the properties and promoter of
the Yukon Gold Co, says:
Il deem the work one of the
greatest accomplishments of the
kind in the history of the world.
In fact, considering the point that
this enterprise has been carried
out in the sub-Arctic, it may be
declared the greatest undertaking
of the kind. ! should say that it
is a triumph or young manhood.
Old men never would have accom-
plished this work. Young men
have been at the head of the work
here, and they have succeeded.
Older men would not have had the
courage. and perhaps would have
looked too much for a precedent.
The work is a splendid demonstra-
ton of what pluck, hustle and en-
ergy can accomplish. In two or
tire years more the entire equip
ment will be operating at its best.
and the splendid results will be
patent.
THE men engaged by the Yukon
Gold Co. this year have numbered
approximately 1900, of whom two
thirds have been on the pipe line
work. o. B. Perry, the general
manager, has been in the field ever
since the opening of navigation
looking to much of the important
direction, while C. A. Thomas, the
local manager, has not left the field
once, summer or winter, since the
undertaking of the vast enterprise
three years ago. Both are men on
the sunny side of 50.
angus Mcdonnell the chief field
man of the pipe line work, is
squaring up his work of general
construction. He is having the
camps closed as fast as the work
at each place is finished. Day and
night he has beeron deck all along
the many miles of the firing line.
In his opinion, this work was far
more difficult than had it been un-
dertaken in the tropics or at the
fsthmus of Panama, and there are
many others who agree with him. y

MYSTERY
Of THE NORTH

| VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. %
The mysterious disappearance and
probable death of two young Eng
lishmen bound from Edmonton to
the placer gold diggings on the
Ingenica river last summer is the
essence of another tale which has
just reached the outside from the
recesses in the lone wilderness of
the north. On March 20, Harry
Phipps and Matthew Tummon
started from Edmonton for the
Ingenica. On June 4 the two men
reached Fort Graham on the Find
lay river.
They left the post on June s,
following the banks of the Findlay
river in the direction of the new
diggings. Sixty miles north of Fort
Graham they made the camp at
which they were last seen on June
Is. From that date they never
returned to their camp. The four
horses were discovered by Indians
shortly after the two men were
last seen./
In the camp were found all the
provisions and equipment carried
by the missing men. A shotgun
was lying in their tent. For sew
eral weeks the camp was not
touched by the Indians, who took
it for granted that the owners
were out prospecting and would
eventually return.
While the fate of the men Is a
mystery, 1t is generally believed
that they were drowned.
