Halt a Million wOrkmen to Strike

Stockholm, Aug. 4.-rhe allied
trades unions of Sweden decided today
to include every form Of industry 10
the general strike order which they
hope to see In effective operation within
the next "a hours. They declare that
500, 900 laboring men will answer their
call at the start, and that within few
day the entire industrial life OF the
country will be suspended.
That the boast of the labor leaders
is not idle, is shown by the activity Of
the government which has called out
all the available troops to guard sgiinsi
anticipated rioting. Stockholm literally
swsrms with cavalry and foot soldiers.
Banks are lying 10 stores of weapons
and ammunition, preparatory to defend
ing their places OF business against raids

The ThaW Case.

White Plains Court House, n. Y,
Aug. 4 When Harry K. Thsw walked
from the White Plains jail to the court
house today, he was surrounded by -four
deputy sheras, quadrupla the guard
which has in the past accompanied
him.
Officials will give no reason for the
increased guard. Frequent comment OF
the ease with which an escape could be
effected has been heard frequently du-
ring the last three days.
A mysterious automobile has figured
ia this comment. From the jail to the
the court house is but a step-sround the
corner, and Thaw has usually walked
with his mother and sister, followed at
some distance by warden.
When a crowd Of curious women sur
rounded ThaW just as he entered the
court house yesterday shoatiDg"GOd bless
you" and trying to shake his hand and
kiss him, the warden was far behind and
Thaw forced bis way through the crowd
alone.
The incident emphasized the ease
with which Thsw could be separated
from his captOrs, and last night extra
precautions we're determined upon.
For three mornings, big yellow
automobile, with two men, 10 long
busters, and masked behind huge Cog
giles has stood at the corner as Thaw
passed. The prisoner has evidently not
noticed the machine, but its presence
was marked by the jailers. The ma
chine was on hand this morning, but it
drove away as Thaw aud his augmented
guard hurried by.
The cross-examiustion of alienists was
the feature of the case today.

former Norfolk boy: ~. w. Tame
hill, postmaster at Ancon (the beauti-
full American suburb or the city Of
Panama., exhibits In the management
of his Office, which is the second In
Importance on the isthmus, a degree
of skill and energy that might be emu
lated with profit to the service by
some of our more favored and better
situated officials at home. One ex-
ample alone will tend to show the de-
votion OF this fine young man to duty.
When Mr. Tannehill was postmaster
at Matachin (down the line), rail-
road wreck occurred that delayed the
mails. Without orders from his super
Tors and of his own volition, he jour
neyed several miles by foot under a
hot, tropical sun to the scene of the
disaster, where he secured the pouches
for his office, to which he carried them
on his back and distributed their con-
tents in very little time after the
usual hour"
The drain which takes care of the
overflow water on the north side of
Main street east of Sixth, is said to
be badly clogged, and 1t should have
the attention of proper officials be-
fore the June floods start. This Is
one of the most important drains in
town, as upon it's working capacity
depends largely the condition of base
ments in the business district on the
north side of the street 1t has been
suggested that while the drain in be-
ing cleared, If 1t were to be made
somewhat deeper and larger it would
act much more quickly after a storm,
taking away water that is now allow
ed to accumulate on the surface and
finally percilates through the ground
into the cellars. A lot of benefit could
be secured to property owners by very
little expense and trouble.

of here, where they had broken into n
Northwestern merchandise car Satur-
day evening were sentenced to the
state industrial school at Kearney I'M
til they become 81 years old. They
pleaded guilty at Chadron. The boys
stole high cowboy boots from the mer-
camille car, and. wearing these on the
streets OF Chadron, were easily appre-
hended. They were alleged also to
have broken into a car at Gordon,

shipment of boots and shoes and
were impressed, bandit fashion. with
the cowboy boots. AS a result they
discarded their own shoes and tucked
their trousers into the western boots.
Then they are said to have paraded
the streets of Chadron, which led to
their undoing.

Camps are being established at va

Just east of the river and one will

of this work seems slow to one not
familiar with what has to be done in
the construction of such a mammoth
piece of work, but when the full force
gets to working each week will show
big gains in the way of bringing the
work to a close. 1t is interesting to
visit the camp at the present time, but
will be of greater interest in a few
weeks from now, when the forces will
be working at full capacity.
