relatives of the passengers on the
Cunard liner Slayonia, which Is break
ing TO pieces off the southwest shore
of Flores island, one of the Azores.
thronged to the Offices OF the Cunard
line this morning. All were assured
by the officers or the line that every
passenger on the Slavonia had been
safely taken off by the Princess
Irene, of the North German LLOYD
line, and were now well on their way
TO Naples
When the Cunard line Office open
ed this morning. there was rush for
admittance. Relatives OF the 300 ltai-
ian steerage passengers. talking wild
ly and gesticulating earnestly. had
beer waiting for hours for news OF
the vessel. II took some hard work
on the part OF the officials OF the COM
pany to persuade them that all was
well with the Slavonia's passengers.
The 10 first cabin passengers on
the Slavonia were mostly tourists
from the south and west, and tele-
grams in large quantities from all
over the country were received at the
offices OF the line. All were answered
promptly with the assurance of the
safety of the passenger inquired
about.
All hope for the saving of the vessel
was given up by the Cunard line to-
day. 1t is understood that she is In
an exposed position on a rock reef
where the beating waves will soon
break her up. No explanation for the
grounding OF the liner has been recelV-
ed, but II is thought that thick wealth
or which has prevailed in the latitude
of the Azores for the past two weeks
is responsible for the wreck. Three
hundred steerage passengers OF the
Slavonia were taken of the stranded
vessel before Capt. Won Letten-Peter-
son. OF the Princess Irene had remov-
cd the frst-class- cabin travellers by
the crew OF the Hamburg American
liner Batavia The Cunard line is as
sured today that both the Batavia and
the Princess Irene have plenty of room
TO carry the persons taken from the
Slavonia.
The Slavonia. designed partly to &C
commodate the Cunard lines immense

CRIPPLED BOY MAKES GOOD.
Although Greatly Handicapped He Has
Accumulated 5000.

Omaha, July 22.--Fred H. Walker of
Omaha has demonstrated that 1t is not
necessary for young man to have the
use of his legs in order to exist and
keep the wolf away from the door.
This young man is "a years of age and
although he has been a cripple for six
years he has gathered about him prop

done this without the assistance of
any person other than his customers,
and in dealing with them he feels that
he has given them dollar for dollar.
Six years ago Walker was in the
Omaha high school, where he was
bright boy and crack football player.
In one of the games he met with an
accident that deprived him of the use
of his legs, at least when he was able
clutches and his physicians tell him
that he will never be able to walk
without them.
The parents of Walker were poor,
but this did not discourage him. The
SQUAD business had started and in It

land in the outskirts of the city. From
another man, friend, he bought lum.

of a mechanic, did his own building.
Then he went in debt for fifty pairs
of squads. He was ready for business.
The birds increased at a wonderful
rate and at the end of the first year he
had sold fifty dozen young birds at SO

pens. The second year he sold $500

JEALOUSY SPLITS FORCES.
New Organization viii Combat Anti
Saloon League for Playing Politics.


Lincoln, July 22.-Jealousy Is de.
clared to be responsible for a threat
ened split in the temperance forces
OF Nebraska. This difference has
been accentuated by the organization
Of the Nebraska Temperance union,
which proposes to make an active
foray into politics this year In oppo.
sition to the Anti-Saloon league. The
criticism made of the latter organi-
cation Is that It's funds are largely
used to employ men to do the work
and pay them good salaries, while the
union has no salaried officers and says
IL will spend what money 1t collects
to further the cause in more practical
ways.
Just what effect of this split will
be nobody seems disposed to hazard
guess, but both want county option.
The union men blame the other crowd
for diiatory and ineffective action,
while the league men say that the
union is trying to play politics. One
section of 1t is declared to be trying
to corral the democratic party and
another is after the republicans, for
Endorsement Of county option.
