I! TELEGRAMs TO COST MORE.
New Ruling by Western Union Re-
garding Code System.

Beginning with today business in
situations who use the Western Union
telegraph with the code system will
have to pay for every five letters as
if it constituted word. This is in
accord with instruction, received here
by the local agent.
The intent of the new order is to
assist in the speed of transmission
and the accurateness of the service.
Under the secret code system the OPP
orators have to be very careful as
mistakes are liable to occur at any
time. For instance the omission
of the letter &c" in such a word as
"ghfriknopdeis." as the placing of an
extra letter in a word may mean
a whole lot to a business house. The
operators are aware of this and are
forced to use every precaution. Such
codes are now very common in the
business world and are used to save
expenses. There will be no saving
in the system however after today
Such a word as the above would
now be counted as three words. The
same rule will apply to such words
az "smorning," which many persons
send for this morning" A word
must be a dictionary word or it will
be charged by the letter, being divid-
ed into sylIables of five letters each.

must surely falter. These vital truths

SIDE TAXPAYERS.
Whole City viii Pay For the Pump
ing Station and the Outlet

and the city at large will pay this.

The mayor called the council to-
gether in special session to hear the
objections to the appraisers report

ed from $500 to $1400 and the ap-
bpraisement Of J. e. Johntz from

Troops at MCKees Rocks Re-

Pittsburg, Aug. 30.-Redoubling
their vigilance throughout the strike
district of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany at McKees Rocks the Pennsyl
vania state troopers are taking every
precaution to prevent a recurrence of
rioting and bloodshed. Admittedly
the situation is extremely tense.
Wholesale desertions of imported
workmen and subsequent stories told
by the men OF alleged brutality ac-
corded them inside the plant have
served to create decided resentment
among strikers and their sympathiz-
ers
Troopers deputy sheriffs and spe-
cial police are content to remain close
to the mill Large gatherings of men
along the Ohio river bank, near the
plant, are not disturbed by the troop
ers, who claim the workmen are out
side their jurisdiction.
During the forenoon thirty men who
arrived from Chicago were taken into
the mill and no further desertions
were reported.
Cards threatening death are being
received through the mail by minor
officers of the company.

RECEIVERS RUSSIAN ESTATES
Street Swseper of Omaha Member of
Cars Nobility.

Omaha, Aug. 30.-John Panuska, a
humble street cleaner of Omaha, re.
ceiving $1.75 a day for sweeping up
refuse, shoveling it into barrels and
carting 1t away to the dump, has
found himself duke of Russia, men,
Der of the czar's nobility and owner of
an estate valued at several million
dollars. The mails brought Panuska
the news of his good fortune.
For hundreds of years the Panuska
family ruled over one of the small
provinces not far from Warsaw, but
about 100 years ago the great great
grandfather of John Panuska was
driven from his estates and the duke
dom usurped. Recently brother of
Panuska's took the matter into the
courts and won and the Omaha street
sweeper, as eldest son, inherits the
title and estates.
