There is a story that several of the
tofficials of th Amalgamated associa

would be a strike, went short on United

thousand dollars. The strike cane,

of that stork did not corrte.
The next congress is likely to be
railed upon to decide between Mr. Ox

question of a tariff on raw sugar. The
Cubans declare they cannot get along
with a tariff on sugar shipped to the

of the tariff will ruin the beet sugar
Industry, which is Oxnard.
It is not unlikely that Colonel Hanna
will be forced to bear a large amount
of the blame for the failure of nego
tiations between the steel trust man
agers and the labor leaders. He set
tled the coal strike so easily during
the presidential campaign that it is not
difficult to believe that he could end the
present troubles if ha thought it worth
fc'.s while.
It looks now as though the country
were in for another Homestead affair.
The failure of the steel colossus and
the strike leaders to reach an agree
ment is disappointing, and is likely to
seriously affect a number of lines of
business unless the manufacturers can
succeed in operating their mills without
their old employes. Even this if suc
cessfully accomplished is likely to be
attended by considerable disturbance.
There is much at stake on both sides,
and neither seeras inclined to yield un
til forced to do so by superior power.'
HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.
fFYom Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Home, with its surroundings, asso
ciations and influences, is a mighty
factor In the make-up of any people.
In this country home is everything. It
is because the great majority of our
homes are now and have ever been
healthful, happy, moral, inspiriting
and Invigorating, the cradles of the
noblest womanhood and tha most virile
manhood the world has yet seen, that
we have upbuilded so many enduring
and broad-basedand altitudinousmonu
ments, marking ineffaceable triumphs
in human progress. Our homes, hum
ble. Indeed, In most cases, have been.
In general, Taire and healthful. From
their hearthstones have sprung men
who, in war, literature, oratory, indus
try, commerce and statesmanship, have
led the world. But In the struggle for
life, ever increasing in intensity, there
Is a constantly growing number of peo-I-le.
especially in cities, finding it diffi
cult, often. Indeed, Impossible, to secure
habitable, healthful and comfortable
dwelling places. There are, at this mo
ment, thousands of honest, industrious
workmen obliged to make of close,
small, dark, offensive, cheerless, bath
less rooms, abodes for themselves and
families. These men would gladly seize
any opportunity, if presented, to pay
reasonable rent for wholesome, health
ful, well-located cottages or model ten
ements, where wives and little ones
might enjoy sunlight, fresh air, the
decencies and conveniences of life, an
abundance of pure water and, conse
quently, the cleanliness which is next
to godliness.
Gifts to colleges, universities and li
braries are very much to be commend
ed, but investments, not gifts, of mil
lions made by the rich to secure the
toiling masses of cities well-appointed
homes were a still greater benefaction,
rendering invaluable service to society
pid to the Nation, besides promising
rich pecuniary returns to the humane
Investors. These homes of the toilers
should be constructed in streets adorn
ed by shade Uees, interrupted bare and
there by parks, beautified by flowers,
cooling streams and fountains. The
genius and enterprise that have found
ed and endowed splendid railway, com
mercial and educational systems are
surely equal to this task of social transformation.

GLOBE SIGHTS
From the Atchison Globe.J
The only use some women have for a
man, is to watch him.
Fruits and vegetables are so scarce
this year that the grocery store tast. r
is having a hard time.
Speaking of luck, the only time
some birds set out early in all their
lives, they get a worm.
There Is a new club In town: the
Blubber club. It is composed of wo
rn n who meet once a week to have a
good cry.
It must occur to every honest man
when he locks at his bare feet at night
that great credit for his personal ap
pearance is due to his shoes.
What has become of the old-fashion
ed dinner bell? Formerly nearly
every house had one. Some were hung
on posts. Have you seen one lately?
To two Atchison girls who are fuss
ing over a man: He gets $45 a month;
did you think it was $150? He has
x bad temper, and is mean to his
maw.
Unfortunately. It seems to be the
opinion of many girls that the best
fishing ground lor a husband is at
street corners, and around soda foun
tains. The people seem to be of two opin
ions: Those who drew claims think
that the drawing was perfectly legal.
and those who didn't, contend that it
was not.
It is said of every bride that she has
host of friends, but in a few years
they dwindle down to the women in
the neighborhood who have babies of
the same age.
Look at the spring chickens in front
of the grocery stores. Seven out of
ten are roosters. Is it justice? Is not
life as precious to a rooster as to a
pullet? We demand that as many
puiiets as roosters be brought to mar
ket, and offered as spring chickens.

When It comes to arbitrating strikes,
what's the matter with the baseball

hitting the high ball doesn't improve
his average.
Blobbs "I've taught lots of girls to

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New Tork Press.
Some people gamble in love on at
mighty small margin.
The only successful way a woman
can chase a man is for him to chase
her.
Romantic, love has been put away in
camphor along with the rest of our
grandmothers' things.
Boys could grow up to be pretty sen
sible, on the average, if their mothers
didn't have such queer notions about
what a boy ought to be.
A man can grind himself to fine
powder doing things for a woman, but
unless he tells her about it she doesn't
take any stock in it, and If he tells her
about it he needn't do any grinding.

$84.43.

last month was as follows:
Pest house $9 00
City building 3.00

THAT GARBAGE CHUTE.
City Engineer Thinks the Nuisance
Will Cost $90.
City Engineer McCabe has prepared his
estimates on the cost and dimensions of
the proposed chute to be constructed on
the river bank for the purpose of dispos
ing of city garbage. The chute will be is
feet long and will cost about $a0. It will
not be built out into the river, according
to Mr. McCabe's plan, but will rest on 14
four-inoh posts driven into the steep
bank.
The location of the chute on J. B. Bil
lard's land north of the present city ere,
matory is by no means certain. Mr. BI1
lard has a beautiful grove on the rive
bank at that place which would of course
be utterly ruined by allowing the place
to be used as a city dump, and he woul(4
be justified in stopping the proposed nul.
sance.
The new bridge across to Oakland win
be delightfully situated. according to pres
ent indications. It will have the North
Topeka sewer opening at one end and the
city crematory and city dump at th
other.

big tent was given in the usual manner.

SENT TO KANSAS CITY.
Workmen For California Compelled
to Pay Extra Fare.
There appears to be war In the camp
about the sending of men to California
to work for the Southern Pacific rail
way. State Director of Free Employ
ment T. B. Gerow has declined to ;end
men from Topeka to Kansas City,
from which point they are to be sent
to Los Angelas.
The parties who were dickering for
men at first proposed that the men col
lected at Topeka should be allowed to
join the gang from Kansas City at thin
point, paying $12.40 for their pnsses t-
Los Angeles. Later word was sent
that the men collected at Topeka must
go to Kansas City to start for Cali
fornia. About a dozen men have applied to
hte- Topeka agency and announced
their Willingness to go to California,
but none of them wanted to pay the
additional $2 to go to Kansas City. No
men have been sent to Kansas City,
and It Is likely that none will be. To
get Topekai woi kmen the railway must
take the men from Topeka direct.
