President Curran of the Freight Handlers' union has issued a call for a mass meeting of all the freight hand- lors in the city to be held at that time, to take action on the refusal of four raliroads to reinstate all the ol men. Mr. Curran said tonight that he re- gretted having to take this step, but was compelled to do so. Me declared that when the settlement was made, it was agreed with Frederick W. Job, chairman of the State Board of Arbitration, that all the old men were to be taken back when t! strike was declared off. This, he says, the Santa Fe, Pan Handle, Northwestern and Nlinols Central railroads have not done and ws they shall do 8o before the mass meeting Sunday night another walkout will be ordered. “These four railroads have broken faith,™ he rald, “because the reinstatement of all the old men was one of the things that Chairman Job insisted on particularly, and now they will be compelled to put the men back. 1 am free to say that the freight handlers are more determined than ever to get justice and to stand by the union, and it another walkout is red, not & man will return to work untll each and every demand s acceded to. There will be Bo half-way business about it this time.

It was their lntemtion to walk out this morning. President Albert Young and Vice Presi- it Johnson learned of the intended action of the union and called upon the officlals of the Illinols Lumber Dealers’ assoclation. They were informed there that the lumber dealers were willlag to pay the advance Men's $160 madras shirt waists, 39 *l'l 2 'mtl and colored negligee shirts, the bdl ‘makes and hewest '.° asked, which amounts to a little more than $1 a week. The dealers, however, could not learn positively what the men desired, it was sald. Mr. Young and Mr. Johnson made arrangements for a meeting of a com- miftee from the lumber teamsters’ local with the dealers tonight, where it is be- Ueved the grievances of the men will be djusted satisfactorily. Two hundred girls and 150 men will re- turn' to work today at the plant of the Me- Mahon Cracker and Bakery company after baving been on strike since Monday.

Under the terms of settlement the 225 who quit will return on Monday without discrimination. They will receive straight time for all overtime, with the understand- ing that there shall be no overtime after Jasuary 1. They will not work on Sunday or Labor day and will be paid the following wage scale: Rip sawyers and hand nafters, 25 cents an hour; bottom and top nailers, 20 cents; printers, 33% cents; framers, 28% cents.

FUNERAL OF FATHER CHOKA Solemn High Mass and Brief Address by Bishop Scamnell at Cathedral. The funeral of Rev. Willlam Choka, vicar general of the diocese of Omaha, was held yesterday forenoon in St. Philomena caths dral, where solemn high mass was celebrat- ed by Father Colaneri, assisted by Fathers Glauber and Smith. Bishop Scannell de- livered a brief address and performed the sbsolution. There, were about thirty priests present, most of whom are resi- dents of Omaha, but several had come from @ distance to pay their respects to the memory of the deceased. The cathedral was crowded with former parishioners of Father Choka from both his Omaha and Monterey charges. The Knights of St. George, a Bohemian order, of which the deceased had been & member, participated in the ceremonies. They appeared in uniform, bearing candles, swords and banners. Bishop Scannell eald in part: “I know nothing of him that was not priestly. His manner, his conversation, his character and his works were priestly and he was ani- mated by the highest ideals that can actu- e an officer of the church. He worked not for himselt, but for others. If I could find one eharacteristic In bim that was more marked than another I would say it was kindness. He kind, generous and charitable. 1 don' nk a selfish or bit- ter thought ever found a place in his mind. It 1s & pleasure to me to be able to say these things of him," At 8 yesterday afterncon the body was sent to West Polnt, whence it was taken to Monterey, the scene of his latest labors. Here, at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, there will be a brief service in the church of which he was pastor, conducted by Father dean of the West Polnt distriet. The office of the dead will be read and mass will be celebrated. The body will he interred in the Catholic cemetery at Mon- tercy. Strikes at Th Many dangerous diseases begin in im- pure bleod.

TEMPERANCE WORKERS MEET Annual Oonvention of Douglas County Women's Ohristian Temperance Union. ALL THE OLD OFFICERS ARE RE-ELECTED stions from the Committee on Plan of Werk Year — Dis Wo for Ensuing About forty women were in attendance at the annual convention of the Women's Christian Temperance union of Douglas county, which convened on Thursday at Blk City. The meeting was one of the most successful and enthusiastic ever held by the organization, every unlon in the county being represented by its full quota of delegates and visitors, and representa- tives from Plattsmouth Tekamah, Fre- mont, Arlington and- other towns outside the county were also present. The unions of Omaha, Waterloo, Valley, Douglas and Elk City maké up the county organization, with a voting representation of twénty-three, all of which were present. Everything had been done by the mem- bers of the local unton for the comfort of their guests, those dependent upon the trains for transportation being met at ‘Washington and taken across the country in carriages to Elk City, where they were welcomed by the reception committee, of which Mrs. A. O. Walcott, president of the Elk City unfon, wae chairman. A Qevotional service led by Mrs. Anna B, Scott of Omaha preceded the morning ses- slon of the convention, which opened at 10:30 o'clock, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Covel of Omaha presiding. Aside from the appoint- ment of committees, the reports of the presidents of uhlons furnished the only business of the morning, these all indicat- ing that while the women have met many dlscouragements, Lhey have worked on quietly and effectively, the bolding of mothers’ meetings, the childran's work, the Demorest medal work and general scientific temperance instruction and study ngwging their chief efforts. During the noon in- termission all adjourned to a neighboring Ball, where & dinner further attested their welcome and the hospitality of the women of Blk City. Mrs. Edith Shinrock of Nmaha conducted the devotional exercises of the afternoon, which were followed by the address of wel- come by Mrs. O. A, Wolcott of Elk Oity and responded to by Mrs. W. G. Whitmore of Valley. Report on Plan of Work. The report of the committee on the plan of work suggested that each union hold some time during the year a tea or some elmilar eptertainment and raise at least #5 {0 be applied toward retiring the Wil- lard Temple bonds; that each union select yme special line in which it can do the most good in addition to the regular tes perance work. Earnest work among cbildren was urged; also the establishment of Loyal Temperance leglons wherever possible and the instruction in Sunday and public schools of scientific temperance. The resolution committee urged that members famillarize themselves with the 0 the law pertaln- Intemperance and How to Avol‘ It" was read by Mrs. Lyons of Valley. The election of officers closed the after- noon geesion, resulting in the re-election of Mrs, Elizabeth Covell of Omaha as presi- dent, Mrs. W. G. Whitmere of Valley, vice president; Mre. Buge: Whitney of BElk Oity, recording secrétary; Mrs. Anna Scott, Omata, corresponding, secretary; Bbannon of Waterloo, treasurer. The presence of the wajerity of the men of the community and the busbands of many of the visiting members contributed materially to the interest of the evening session, the feature of which was a discus- on of the question, “Would Enfranchise- ment Be a Benefit to Women?" The early part of the discussion was open only to the delegates, but later it became general, W. G. Whitmore of Valley leading the men and earnestly champicning the cause of women and whatever would lead to their advancement and the extension of their in- fluence. A recitation by Miss Shinrock of Omaha and music by a local quartet completed the program. The appointment of superin- tendents will be made later by the execu- tive committee, also the selection of the next meeting place. ASKS REDUCTION OF ALIMONY Dr. E. W. Lee Petitions for Modifiea. tion of Divorce Decree Entered Here. Dr. E. W. Lee has petitioned the district court of Douglas county for a modifica- tion of the divorce and alimony decree en- tered here In June, 1898, alleging that he i 1o longer able financially to bear the burden It imposed. His wife, lsabel, to whom he was mar- ried at Randolph, N. Y., May 16, 1883, charged infidelity and was granted divorce with an order that the defendant pay her $16,000 alimony in monthly installments of $200. She had asked for a life alimony of $160 per month, afirming that the doctor's income from his large practice here was $10,000 per year, but he alleged that it fluctuated between $4,000 and $8,000. Now, however, he avers that it doesn't amount to $100 per month. In this petition for a modification of the decres he recites that after leaving Omaba he went to St. Louls and practiced there a year with unsatistactory results and that he then went to New York, where he ia still; that the expense of maintalning bis office and supporting himself is $1,000 per month, but that his actusl income does not and has not exceeded $100 per month; that he owns no property, has no capital but his profession and “is wholly without even sufficlent means to provide the neces- sities of life.”” He polnts out, also, that their son Vernon, who was aged 14 when the divorce was granted and to whose sup- port a part of the alimony was to go, 18 now self-supporting. Because of these changed conditions he asks the court to reduce the alimony total to $5,000 instead of $15,000 and that he be permitted to pay the rest of this sum, or $1,500, in monthly installments of $25 In- stead of $200. He has already paid $3,500. HEARS IRRIGATION ENGINEER Commercial Clab Addressed by Head of Government's Hydro. sraphic Bureau.
