as THE STATE REPUBLICAN. VOLUME XjCIII. JEFFERSON OITY, COLE COUNTY? MISSOURI, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1894. NUMBER 31. Kb THE PULLMAN STRIKE. LlSw"- 1" fwt Tho Pullman strike it the greatest labor disturbance this conn try has Been. " The conditions as reportod last week becamo worse each day. More railroads were Involved and great alarm-was (elt throughout the entire country. It was thought the strike would bo practically over by Saturday, but 'the situation was worse than ever before. , On Friday Chicago took on a scene of veritable anarchy. Tho federal troops charged on the mob several times. The mob gavo way before them and closed in again in the rear. Several riots occurred. Thoro was a conflict of authority between the federal officers and the city police. Governor Alt gold protested against the president send ing troops into the state of Illinois before they had been called for. The police fired into a body of strikers, wounding several. Two men were shot by a special detec tive during a riot near the Union stock yards. Switch towers were fired, many freight cars were ditched and a meat train burned. Soldiers were ordered to shoot anyone interfering in any manner with trains,- yet acts of violence were committed in various parts of the city. In Missouri the situation was less serious, although in the large cities freight and passenger trains were abandoned and left standing on aide tracks. The mall trains were not interfered with. In other western states acts of violence were committed. Bridges in some places were burned by the strikers. In others, freight cars were overturned. On Friday there was more bood shed in Chicago. Ten men died as a result of the strike. The burning of freight cars which was begun on Thursday was enlarged on, nearly $1,000 being destroyed by the law less. Of tho ten dead four were killed while attacking a Baltimore & Ohio train in south Chicago. Several were killed or wounded in a skirmish with deputies. Governor Altgeld or dered out two brigades of state militia. Engene Debs, president of the railway union, issued a procla mation warning his men not to in terfere with trains. He said : "V e must triumph ai law abiding citizens or not at all." The strike seemed to be spreading eastward. In Iowa a train was ditched. Several ditched trains were reported in other states. In California a Los Angeles minister was arrested for making Incendiary spoecbes. The strikers were content to fol low the leaders In the movement and confessed they bad no idea where the strike would end. They were determined and had confidence in the leaders. On Sunday the situation was not improved and the indica tions were that other organizations would go out, including railway telegraphers. When the strike will be closed and business resume its normal condition is not now known. It will be some time before commerce recovers from the blow. An important feature of the strike U the injunction order issued by Judges Qrosscnp and Woods in the United States court restraining the strikers, based both upon the mall laws and the interstate com merce act. It is a very sweeping prder, and alms to protect the roads M common carriers to transport freight as well as carry the United States mails. The order names 23 roads, and In tho cpmmand to the strikers says that they must not interfere, either by violence, Inti midation or peranatlon. There was a good deal of minor rioting In and about Chicago, and at Blue Island a mob of 3,000 com pletely overawed the large force of deputy sheriffs, and United States ttwrshals sent to raise the blockade, n4 troops from Fort Sheridan were ealled for. The order 0 signed directs speci fically that the men named desist from1 In any manner interfering with business of the following roads:, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Ve Bail road.

The new union is the croation of Eugene V. Debs, Its president. Debs is a young man, who some years ago was a locomotive fireman. Ho lives at Terro Haute, and is the president of a publishing houBo in Chicago, which prints labor literature Ho is also editor of tho Firemen'! Maga xine, tho efficient organ of the Rail way Firemen's Brotherhood, and editor of the Railway Times, tho organ of the -now union. He has been prominent in railway labor matters only about Ave or six years, Ho has advocated closer relations between the men employed in the different branchos of railroad ser vice. He contended that tho broth erhood organizations in which engineers, firemen, trainmen, con ductors and others were separately banded together, did not work together for the common interests of laboring men, but that each worked only for Its own solflsh Interests or that one was played off against another. Debs found last year his opportunity to make' a new and goneral union. It will be re membered that for months before the opening of the Columbian Expo sition there was talk of a general railroad strike which should paralyze the traffic of the whole country during the oxlstence of the fair. This was not the result of any specific complaints on tho part of the employes, but of general dissat isfaction in the west with the, condi tions of their employment. Powderly it will be remembered, let tho whole schemo leak out in tho course of the last strike on tho New York Central, In 1800, and that publicity was the death of the scheme, although labor men have been Inclined to attribute its collapse to the refusal by Chief Arthur of the Locomotive Engineers to give such a project his support. His action, however, aggravated a soreness which was manifest as long as three years ago, when the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers held convention at Denvor. Many of tho delegates left that convention because they had not boon able to get the Brotherhood to adopt more aggressive methods. Deb's lieutenant is Q. W. Howard, chief of tho Brotherhood of Railway Conductors. Howard is vice-president of the new union. Debs and Howard began the organization of the American Railway Union a year ago. They found the western rail road men all Btlrred up and ready' for an aggressive policy. The Amer ican Federation of Labor hold a con vention in tho fall, and a sot of resolutions favoring national owner ship of railroads and telegraphs and other socialistic doctrines, had been submitted to it. These had been referred to the action of its local unions to be reported upon at tho next convention. Debs embodied some of tlieso things in his declara tion of principles. Just before tho beginning of this year he formed tho American Railway Union, and on January 1, he Issued the first number of the Railway Times from 421 Ash land Block, Chicago. rave errors, he said, had been made in the previous organization of railroad employees. There were more than 800,000 employees, and but 150,000 were represented by the brotherhoods. "The Railway Time;" he said "will seek, under the guidance of the American Railway Union, to adjust differences between em ployers and employed by means other than the strike, boycott, and kindred dovices." The new union consists of a gen era union With local branches. Every man who Is in the employ of a railroad, or who has ever been In such employ, Is eligible to membership. The local union may be made up of members of mixed classes of employees or all of some one branch of labor. Tho general purposes of the union, aa declared in its const! tutlon, are the protection of members in all matters relating to wages and rights; the securing of a right to employees to be beard In court in proceedings (or tbe settlement of labor troubles, and the securing by political action of legislation for safety applicants' 'for trains for regulating hours of labor, for regular payment of wages and, for' other purposes. The union has 150,000 .members. The constitution provides a quick way' of bringing about action on labor troubles. It tho- local union cannot settle the trouble it refers tho matter to the general union, and if the committee do not succoed they refer it to. the board of directors, who are empowered to do whatever seems best to them without, more General Union ,1s to hold a year, The first one',waf beld .at Chicago, beginning to t-.Tho four meetings man matter was merely n pretoxt for n trial of strength -lth tho railroads. That the union felt strong thoro Is no doubt. It had another reason than the strength of its own membership for this be lief, and this may explain why so many men who do not belong to the American Railway Union havo quit work to help it. On Juno 11 thoro was a conference at St. Louis, at which there wore represented the American Railway Union, the American Federation of Labor, the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, tho Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, tho Brother hood of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen, the Knights ,ot Labor, the Green Bottle 'Blowers' Association, and tho Farmers' Alliance. At this meeting a practical working alllanco between all of the organizations was pro posed, ah wero to support any strike in which more than 1,000 men wero Involved, each was to recognize members of tho other, and thoy wero to act togother politically against tho old parties. The latter suggestion was adopted. The others went over until" 1805, when nnother meeting Is to bo hold; but a good general understanding was arrived at. IN OUR OWN state: REDROOM FURNITURE. From Good HouseKeeplng. In the first place, speaking for bedrooms as a class, they should bo made as cheerful in design as possible. The wall paper, If used, Bhould be lighter, rather than darker, than that in other portions of the house. Thero should bo some character In tiie design of tho paper, especially if by any chance it is possible that tho room may bo oc cupied as a sick chamber. How often, as wo know, havo tho eyes of a sick and weak person followed the designs upon tho wall paper, hour after hour, and, thus brought to the invalid diversion of a wholly gentle and unobtrusive nature. For this purpose, a simple design, capa ble of awakening Interest and attracting attention, is bettor than a picture, oven of pronounced merit; since tho latter is too likely to exclto strong emotions, to awaken reminiscences, and to lead tho thought in altogether too vigorous a manner. Pictures need not bo banished from tho sleeping room altogether. At tho sauu time, wo must not forget that tho primary idea of the apartment is that of rest and repose; of a surceaso from anxiety, activity nnd excitement of any sort. Unless, thereforo, tho apart ment must also be used as a living room to some degree, any picture, or any style of decoration, which represents the spirit of activity Is foreign In tono to tho primary purpose of tho room. On tho same principle, a surplus of furniture, of books or of bric-a-brac, is to be avoided. Surplus garments hang ing here and there about tho walls aro an abomination. Provide for them a closet, wardrobe, trunks or drawers', so that the general aspect of tho room may be that of tidiness. If circumstances permit, there should be in each sleeping room, apart from the Indispensable furni ture and fixtures, a small tnblo, which can be readily moved to any portion of the room, one or two comfortable chairs In which the occupant may sit restfully, and a lounge or couch, properly fitted with cushions and pillows, upon which one may drop for a few moments of reposo, at any hour. And there should, of course, bo harmony In the ensemble of tho room. Let tho prevailing tones match each othor, and do not drop Into the idea that any odd and ugly article, left over from other apartments or picked up at random, Is good enough for this place. There Is a distinction between true and false ecpnomy, fitness and unfitness, here as elsewhere. NEW REMEDY FOB TArKWOItM. A St. Louis man who was rocently shot in an altercation has just .boon relieved of a tapeworm as a result of the injuries. Ho said: "I'm awful glad that felloW'shbt'rrtelitfdYwoniTa not prosecute him now If thoy caught him." I1IO 1IARN BURNED. Tho storm which occurred on tho night of tho third instant was heavy at Knob Noster.

Filley that ho is a busy man nnd will not go to Denver and cannot visit Missouri this summer. Ho says: "I have a lively recollec tion of tho kindness of tho citizens of your stato on the occasion of my last visit." JUDC1E3 OUT OF. JAIL. The imprisoned St. Olair county judges wero allowed, last week, to leavo the jail at Clinton nnd go to Osceola to hold court and transact such business as could wait no longer. After making a settlement with tho county collector nnd treas urer, Issuing warrants for the sup port of the county poor farm and making tho annual tax levy, they will have two weeks' vacation and at Its close will report at tho Henry county Jail again. It will bo remem bered tho judges aro serving a suntenco in jail for refusing to levy tax to pay oil railroad bonds, as ordered to do by n higher court. CURRANT JELLY. From Harper's Btiar. Select currants -that are not over ripe for this and put them into a stone crock.

Gllmoro, an attorney, while practicing Inw in Kansas City, was indictod for embez zlement. He was tried, convicted nnd sentenced to five years in tho penitentiary. An appeal was taken to Iho supreme court, whoro tho caso was affirmed. Gllmoro, who was out on ball, skipped out when tho news of tho court's decision reached him, and has since been a fugitive from justice. Last week Assistant Attor ney General Morton Jourdon located Gllmore In Chicago, where ho was living in an obscure way under an assumed name. He apprised S. D, Dolan, niaibhal of the supreme court, of his discovery. That officer at once proceeded to Chicago, armed with a requisition on Gov. Altgeld. He arrested Gllmoro Monday, and on tho fourth hist, landed him In tho penitentiary at Jefferson City, where he will serve tho sentence passed upon him four years ago. JUST WHAT A WALTZ IS. From the Duuvllle (Ky.) Advocate. A girl in this town describes waltz ing aB follows: "No one. waltz, even whon danced with the same partner, is exactly the samo. It is always a now sensation. The music is not in the snmo key, nnd the waltz does not touch tho samo chords of one's soul. If I dance twenty dances In tho evening I havo twenty different thrills of pleasure With one partner it Is a soft, insidi ous measure; with tho next, a long and langorous movement; with the third, more of a hop, that gently jars tho brain into a dolicious dreamy forgotfulness, while a fourth cavalier, with a heroic tread, bears you away with strong and vigorous rhythm into still another world. The lights of this go out, you lose consciousness, but you feel no dread as you Ho in those hercnlean arms like a child rocked to sleep in his father's embrace. Your feet aro no longer on tbe earth. It's a celestial rotation out into space, and when you light on earth again you feel like a tired bird stopping from a long flighty AN EN ERTA1NINO TILT. One of the entertaining tilts which enlivened the closing hours of tho tariff debate was between Senator Chandler, of Now Hampshire, and Senator Palmer, of Illinois. 'Did you say tho price of fence wire has fallen under tho inllucnce of tha protective tariff?" inquired Mr. Chandler. "I did not say that." "What did you say?" "Never mind," replied Mr. Palmer, "I nm in the condition Mr. Lincoln told me he was In once on a campaign ing tour. Ho niado no reply. 'Why don't you answer himV said somo one.' 'I am after votes,' replied Mr. Lincoln, 'and that man's vote is as good as any othor man's.' I nm after votes on this proposition," snld Mr. Palmer, making tho appli cation of the story, "and I want the vote of tho senator from New Hamp shire." "You will get It," said Mr. Chand ler, amid laughter. THE TAItlFK HILL PAHSEIl.

Tho latest project for a monument in which the people of Washington aro to bo interested is In memory of John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame. The monument is no to be in Wash ington, but on tho silo of the old John Brown fort at Harper's Ferry. Fred Douglass is ono of the com mittee appointed to solicit subscrip tions. Concerning tho project Mr. Douglas says: 1 don't know what success we shall meet with In soliciting subscriptions, but thellulllmore&Ohlo railroad liasdonuted tho ground to bo used, and has promised us that it will transport all material tor tho monument free of charge. The pro ject has been broached to Mr. Brown, ol l'ut-ln-Bay, the son of John ilrow),und he is heartily In favor of the movement. It Is hoped, If tho scheme is carried through, that the monument will be ready for dedication about next October. The design of the monument has not yet been decided upon, but it will probably bo a monolith, with a Bultablo base and inscription, and will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000. RAKED ICE CREAM. From the New York Journal Baked ice cream is not new by any means. This is how it Is baked, and nny ono can try it: The icn cream is flrst frozen in deep saucers. When it is extremely hard the saucer is set on a brick in an oven, where the top draft holds the temperature at a frightful figure, so that tissue paper will shrivel the moment it feels tho hent. Tho brick is cold. The cream has been brushed over with the White of nn egg. This crusts over the Instant tho door Is closed. It hardly takes ninety seconds to brown the egg, and tho ice cream is served at once. The croam itself Is not softened, and tho effect of a spoonful of cold cream with a hot crust is bewildering. Now that asbestos mats can be had, one of those is set on the brick under tho Bnucer. Tho cream, of course, is served In the saucer in which It was frozen and baked. It is no ubo to attempt to bake soft croam.

HOW LIGHTNING FEELS. From Hie New York World. Something -of a stir was made at tho Ravine house in Randolph, N. H., by tho nrrlval on Tuesday of threo dilapidated men. Wore thoy intoxicated? No. Vagabonds? Evi dently not. Nor were nn limbs broken. But all three had been burned by electricity from a clear sky, or which moro probably wns discharged from tho mountain peak on which they sitting into the clear air above. Thoy wero up on tho tip top of Mt. Adams, watching thunder storms below them, when all wore knocked over. Mr. Gilbert Trnfton nt once sprang to his feet, and ho thinks lie remembers a great noise. But tho Rov. Arthur Patten, of Gor)iam remembers no noise although he did not lose consciousness. Both speak of a hot feeling, Mr. Trafton being somewhat burned on each foot and Mr. Patten rather more on ono foot. The siloes and trousers of each, wero badly torn. Mr. Georgo Ooodwln, of Gorhain, wns more severely hurt. Probably his fall of several feet bruised him, ns ho was struck quite unconscious for a timo, and was badly burned, from his hair down his neck, body and legs down to his feet. Both ho and Mr. Patten were partly paralyzed on tho right side, the cllect lasting about a half hour. After resting nearly nn hour longer, Messrs.
