Hurnor and
Philosophy
JUST MAY.
~ DUNCAN n. SMITH

Come. little May,
Stick round and play
And help US while
The time away.
We like your STYLE
So free Of guile.
For really you
Are well worth while.
A spell ago,
AS you may know,
We had to be
Content with snow,
But you are quite
A different sight
And what the experG
Call "all right.
With you on hand,
So sweet and bland
AS blossoms on
The trees expand
And flowers thrive
Along the drive
We're glad once morO
We are alive.
So kind Of you
To loiter through
And gardens, groves
And fields renew
And give US cause
To idly pause.
Remarking on
Your lack of f1awA
Why can't YOU stay
And every day
Throughout the year
Be on display?
Why can't you come,
Sweet sugar plum,
And be our little
College chum?

Constipation and It's Causes
A Well Known Remedy.

Constipation is mans worst enemy, and

Nature meant that the bowels should be
kept open. that we should have a free move
ment once a day. When We find our bow
els do not move, we resort to powerful
rerr edi which are so drastic in their
action that they damage the tender lining
OF the bowels and leave a worse condition
than before. why take such injurious and
expensive drugs when we can obtain from
any druggist, much cheaper, a bottle of
Natures own remedy, HUNYADI JANOS
Water, the famous Natural Laxative? This
water is bottled at the springs in Hungary
and in use nearly half a century, one-half
a tumblerful. on arising, will bring within
an hour a refreshing movement, gentle,
natural and thorough, without any gripping
or other bad effects. As a whole bottle
costs but a trifle, keep one always on hand

Wooster Divorce
Case Dismissed
Suit Against Prominent Fusion Poll.
tician Struck Off by Court, Plain
tiff Failing to Appear.

CENTRAL CITY. Neb., March A-(Spe-
cial.)-The celebrated Wooster divorce case
has been finally dismissed without preju-
dice, Judge Hollenbeck, who held a brief
equity session of the district court here
yesterday, having entered an order to that
effect. The defendant in the suit was
Charles Wooster OF Silver Creek, formerly
representative from Merrick county to the
state Legislature, and a fusion leader and
political writer OF statewide reputation.
Mrs. Wooster in her petition set up some
interesting allegations. among them the
claim that because she would not declare
that she loved him better than her God,
the defendant was cruel to her and would
not let her sleep or give her any peace OF
mind for days at a time. The case has
been dragging along in the courts for many
months, the fact that the plaintiff had
moved away and was a nonresident COM
plicating matters. Finally the court de-
cided that the matter had dragged too
long. The plaintiff was unprepared when
the case was called for trial yesterday,
and the court dismissed the action without
prejudice.

ARBITRATION IS
PROPOSED NOW
Plan Makes Its Appearance to Have
Committee Operate Water Plant
Instead of Receiver.

1t was currently reported this after
noon, that a plan to arbitrate the wa
ter situation was being put forward,
having as its object. the naming of a
citizen, to be selected by the Citizens
committee or a mass meeting. a repre-
sentative of the Water supply com
pany and a city official, TO operate the
water plant and negotiate a settlement
of present difficulties. II was not
made apparent how the shortage of
water could be negotiated other than
by the production of a sufficient sup
ply. but II is understood that meet
ing will be held by those who evolved
the idea to see If the plan can not be
put into effect.
City officials who were asked about
the proposal this afternoon, said they
knew nothing OF it and that the suit
which was filed today, will be prose-
cuted as vigorously as possible and
without further delay.
"Our instructions are to take legal
action against the company and
hasten as much as possible. in an eff
fort to relieve the situation" said city
counsel, today. 1--WE will push the
matter in the courts as fast as we
can"

Pittsburg, Pa. July 16.-"Shoot to
kill if a man reaches for gum is
the order given the state constabulary,
which is guarding the plant Of the
Pressed Steel Car Works at McKees
Rocks from the strikers. The situa-
ton is critical. Ten thousand attend
cd a mass meeting this morning. They
were closely watched by the authori-
ties to prevent incendiary speeches.
The strikers are being supplied with
liquor.
Ten thousand men. women and chill
dren gathered at the big gate of the
plant this morning and after throwing
bricks at foreigners, opened fire on
the police inside. Suddenly the big
gate swung open and 25 members of
the constabulary rode into the mob at
full speed. firing their carbines in
the air.
Amid the screams and curses of the
strikers. the mob was driven a half
mile from the plant thirty being in
jured. some seriously. This brings the
number of injured last night and to-
day to fifty. Some have bullet wounds
but most of the injuries are cuts and
bruises.
Street cars. vehicles and pedestrians
were held up In the vicinity of the
plant by strikers and everyone was
made to prove lhat he was not
seeking work there. Police squads
of ten each kept tht mob on the move.
The officers were showered with
bricks and several were slightly in
tured. twenty-five men charged with
rioting were brought to the county
jail by the sheriff.
A grievance committee of strikers
is to be appointed to confer with the
company officials today. President
@Ioffstott of the company arrived to-
day. He says it is untrue that work.
men must pay the foreman to get a
job and claims that objection to the
pooling system of open shop work Is
unjustified. He says that most OF the
men want to work but that they are
intimidated by the strikers.
