YOUNG MATRON
 ATTEMPlS s SUICIDE
Worried Over Absence of Her Husband Several
 Days Missing

Driven to desperation over the un- accountable absence of her husband, Joseph whom she reports as having d1aa ppeared Saturday and is feared to have been the victim Of foul play cold, Mrs. Stella Sziranski, 26 years old, drank nearly an ounce Of muri- atic acid at her home, 184 Railroad cents hospital in a serious condition. Barring complications, 1t is expected that she will recover
 She is reported as 41avfng been anx- ious and Respondent since Sunday and particularly so last night One night more, she is reported, as given for a time limit to hear something from or of the missing man It is supposed that the deed was decided on this morning upon waking up and finding him still absent, aE she was in her night clothes and in bed when she drank the contents of the bottle.
 Tenants living below heard her screaming and. rushing upstairs found her in terrible agony. Dr J. H. Fin negan, emergency hospital ambulance surgeon, administered emetics at the house and on the way to the hospital The acid taken was the kind used by plumbers for soldering purposes. An investigation is being made today as to whether the unknown man, found frozen on Bishop avenue and as yet unidentified at the morgue, may not be the missing Joseph It is hardly thought so, as the dead man is thought to be much older than the missing one.

ALL UNIONS JOIN
 AFRICAN STRIKE
Transvaal and Orange Free State Workers Out
 Tn Sympathy

Johannesburg, Union of South Afri- ca, Jan. 15-The struggle between em- p1oyers and trade unionists in South Africa continued doggedly today and up to noon there had been no marked change in the situation. Organized workmen of all trades in the Trans vaal and the Orange Free State have almost unanimously thrown down their tools and Joined in the sympa- thetic strike ordered by the Fedora ton of Trades in support of the rail- road men who had struck as pro- test against the. retrenchment policy Of the transportation companies. The workmen of Cape Colony and Natal, on the other hand, have hitherto re- lnained at their occupations.
 Some of the strikers in this city seem to be in an ugly mood but are restrained by the presence Of large forces of armed police and of the citi-s zens' defense force, over 100. 900 of whom answered the call to arms when martial law was proclaimed.
 Provisions are still fairly plentiful although dear. Most of the bakers and grocery stores are still open.
 Tn this city the greatest interest is centered for the moment on the trades hall where Mr. Bain, secretary of the Federation of Trades, with a body sieged by a strong force of police who hold warrants for the arrest of Baint and his comrades.
 Bain this morning requested an in- terview with General Botha, prime minister of the Union of South Africa. The government regarded this as an offer to surrender and replied that the commanding officer of the region under the provisions of martial law had orders to arrest everyone in the hall and to use the most drastic meas ure necessary if, after warning them. the occupants. did not surrender with- out violence.
 Strong guards were placed in posi- tfon to keep close watch on the hall and no pedestrian or vehicles were permitted to approach anywhere near it.
 s The Transvaal Leader, a newspaper which had hitherto employed exclusive ly union labor, issued only four pages this morning. These had been com posed by hand instead of by typeset- ting machines and contained an- nouncement that in future non-union workrnen only would be engaged on the paper
 Along the Rand the situation is said to be satisfactory.

Net Weight Sale Slips.

can no longer deliver sale slips with
the wording sugar $780," but must
give the net weight OF the commodity
sold together with the amount
charged. This information comes to
The Plaindealer through Geo. Dewar,
deputy inspector of weights and
measures for this district. Not alone
must sugar be shown in net weight

Mrs. Beasley Dead.

The community in general was
shocked Saturday night to hear OF
the sudden death of Mrs. Beasley
one of the oldest and highly respected
residents of Malta. She had just re-
turned from visit with her children
at different points and was visiting at
the home Of her daughter, Mrs. John
Brown, when death came. She had
been III her apparent good health all
day. and when the first symptoms OF
sickness came OH was OH her way ul
town, but returning to the house i'm.
mediately she hardly reached the door
when she died.
Mrs. Beasley was born i'm Missis.
sippi, and at the time Of her death
she was in her sixty-lirst year. She
was married to l.. I'll. Beasley in 1871
and to this union sixteen children
were born, fifteen of which, besides
the husband, are left to mourn her
loss. Seven of the children were here
yesterday in attendance ut the funer-
al, which was held from the Metho.
dist church, the services being con.
Quoted by the Rev. Cookingham, and
was one of the largest funerals ever
held in the city, which shows the re-
spect in which she was held by her
acqnaintances. Burial was made in
the Malta cemetery.

lily have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sorrow.

State Fair Announcements.

Realizing that the displays ma de
by the schools and school children in
previous years at the Montana State
Fair have made deep and lasting
ilnpr sslon, not only OH the schools,
but on those who have observed the
very excellent exhibits, the manage
mpnt this year has revised the Euu-
cational Division, adding many at
tractive features in entries and in
prize money.
An advance list is being mailed
3, 500 teachers in the state this week
in hopes that the schools in Montana
will start early in the year to prepare
\ comprehensive display of their
work at the coming state fair
which will he held September 81 to
26, 1914. The prices offered are de-
cidedly liberal, in fact the Montana
State Fair offers in premiums to the
schools of Montana rs much as the
Minnesota State Fair, and Minnesota
has six times the population of Mon
tana.
Particular attention is given this
year to lural schools, and it is ex-
pected that the country sections will
he very keen in the competition. High
schools also come III for lucrative
cash offers. A state spelling bee is
also inangurated--so entirely
novel and new in the west. Each
county will have a series of spelling
contests, the winners competing for

The Tyler brothers recall Martin
Walsh, who was brother of the ia

Martin was tried out by the Chicago
Cubs, in the hope that his immense
strength could be utilized until he
could pitch as well as Ed. The first
night out on the spring training trip
Martin grew confidential.

White Sox and the Cubs will win the

release before the season opened, the
plan worked fairly well.

LABOR KEEPS UP ITS FIGHT TO
ORGANIZE EAT SHOPS

Organized labor is resuming hos
tilities against the restaurants and
hotels controlled by brewers. The
Edelweiss restaurant has been placed
on the unfair list of the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor and conference
was held in the C. F. Of L. offices
yesterday to consider carrying on the
war outside of Chicago. Cooks, bak-
ers, walters and mattresses unions
sent delegates to go over the situa-
ton with representatives of the brew
cry workers unions.
The Peter Schoenhofen brewery
and its stockholders own the Edel-
weiss, it is claimed, and have helped
in a financial way to build up Vogel-
sang's restaurant In order to union
ize these two places and combat the
Restaurant Keepers Assn, the local
unions may secure the assistance of
American Federation of Labor and
have Schoenhofen beer put on the
unfair list of unions all over, the
country. The brewery workers, who
have a contract with Schoenhofen's
brewery, are anxious that this step
be taken only as last resort.

with the Restaurant Keepers Assn to

Manager Pruyn of the Edelweiss
told our committee straight out that
he was powerless to sign any con-
tract with us. The fellow to see, he
told us, is John Vogelsang, president
of the r, K. A, and Vogelsang told
our committee, the restaurants of
the Chicago Restaurant Keepers :
Assn will not be unionized.'
Instead of going to Mexico we are
going to stay here in Chicago and try
to civilize the loop district by making
the restaurant magnates have decent
wages and hours among their en-
ployes."
Manager w. M. Collins of HenriciS
restaurant has laid off eight girls
during the past two weeks and on
some nights the east room annex has
been dark and not open for custom
ers as formerly. The picketing of
Henrici's is being done now by print
ed cards and billboard posters.
No formal decree has yet been en-
tered on court records by the judges
who heard the picketing case of the
mattresses union against Henrici's.
Judge McGoorty yesterday delivered
to Edgar L. Masters, attorney for the
mattresses, 1900 typewriter pages
of the testimony reported in the case.
Masters must sign certificate saying
the reported evidence is true and cor
rect before Judge McGoorty will
make another move.
