The seventh week of the Union Pacific strike has opened with no indication of a |settlement. The boflermakers went out June 18, which really was the beginning ot the strike, except that the molders had quit some time before that, but they were practically elimipated from the strike ac- tivitles when the company closed down its foundry aud dismantled the building. From thelr attitudes and their claims both the company and strikers are even more de- termined in their respective positions at this stage of the proceedings than at the outset. The officlals avow their intention to introduce plece work, and operate their shops Independent of the strikers, while the latter declare they never will accept plece- work, but will, eventually, return to work in the Union Pacific shops, which can mean but one thing, namely, that the men count on winning the fight on thelr own terms. “The strike will mever be settled with these men,” and ‘““we eannot take back these men in our shops,” are expressions which have been made within the past week by the officlals handling the company's end of the controversy. As yet the company has nmot generally introduced plecework so that the non- union men who hive taken strikers places are still getting their daily wage in most instances.’ At Cheyenne, however, an or- dor was fssued by the company declaring plecework in force and this fs what caused the blacksmiths and others to quit. Seven blacksmiths laid down thelr tools, put out thelr fires and left the shops, while five men In the tinshop struck and three axelmen. Places Quickly Filled. The officials admitted the defection of the blacksmiths, but held that within one hour after the men left the shops five had been supplanted. As a matter of fact thirty nonunion men had been sent into Cheyenne during the day, so that the company found it an easy matter to start up the forges with these five men. 1 Strikers clalm defections, in other places. At Omaha yesterday they say nine men left the shops, and at North Platte they hold that one walked out, while at Kan: City they assert defections are occurring every day. As an offset to these claims officials hold that fn no shop on their en- tire system has the force of nonunion men en materially diminished and that in every case these forces are adequate. Further reports from Cheyenne recelved by District Secretary Grace of the ma- chinists state that thirty-eight engines are in the roundhouse awalting repairs and tracks contfhue to be the attractiveness of low prices to meet | Dlocked with freight cars, the most of - responsss o s évia Friday and Saturday. It shows that the people of Omaha appreciate genuine bar- galns, especially on ‘staple merchandise. We feol sure that most of those who bought from us had no immediate n for the goods, but purchased them in an- ticipation of their wants next month. This sale has these additional advantages: The customer may buy at the advertised jglocs and_open an mocount hers,’ paying d & small amount dows, practically enough to securs the goods, having their future payments fall due beginning with Boptember. There {s no oOther stors In Omaha in any line of business that will #ell goods at these prices and give ample credit to pay for same. We are pe- cullarly situated so as to do this.

In connection with the question of motive power, which is the issue over which the strikers and the company are disputing mostly, the company makes the claim that its facili- ties In the Omaha shops are In such good condition that three engines have just been turned out and that another one, No. 1835, which was the first to leave the Omaha shops after the strike, is doing good ser- vice near Sidney. These claims are at once denied by the strikers, who maintain that none of ‘thege three engines were in the shops for gen- eral repair, but only to recelve some minor work, and that No. 1835 has broken down near Kearney and has not been able to léave the roundhouse at Grand Island wince. iler Makers Get Good News. Local boller makers were enthused yes- terday when news came from Chicago that the striking boller makers there had won their fight after a two days' contest. It was belleved here that the Union Pacific would make an effort to employ some of the striking boiler makers in Chicago, but whether there was any foundation for such & bellef 18 nmot known. At any rate that tactor is eliminated since the Chicago strike has been settled. The men will get 35 cents an hour for inside work and 60 cents for outside work. No plecework is exacted in the agreements. Another ele- ment of this agreement is that the men on outside work get $1 an hour for over- time. President Kennedy of the district lodge here says that t concessions are greater than those asked by the Union Pacific bofler makes ‘He says a flat rate of 32 cents an hour for inside and out- side work and time and a half for over- time in the Omaha and Armstrong shops and increades in western Wyoming, where lving expenses are very high, to 37 cents an b are the demands. Oharles Hemple, the new general boiler maker inspector of the Union Pacific, em- ployed trom the Burlington shops at Ha: lock, left last night with General Manag Dickinson for & trip over the entire sy tem with & view of determining the needs of hi Pres| of the International Brotberhood of Boller Makers and Iron Shipbullders, who left the fore part of the week for the western end of the Unlon Pacific, returned to the city last night and consulted & few hours with District Presi- dept Kennedy prior to Jeaving for Little Rock, Ark., whers he is called to look into some difficulty between the boller makers on the Ifon Mountain and that company. FOR COMMERCIAL CONGRESS Transmississippl, Organisation = Wil Meet at St. Pa Augus L. J. Blowers of David City, a Nebraska member of the executive committee of the Transmississippl Commercial . congress, which i8 to be in St. Paul, August 15-22, fn- clusive, states that the present officers are trylng hard to make the meeting a greater than any held before. In his opin- ion the people of this state should have a particular interest in it, as among the ques- tions to be discussed are the problems of trrigation and reclamation of arid lands local subjects, waterwiys and harbors. He quotes from the circular that the gov- ernor may appolnt ten delegates, the mayors of Omaba and Lincoln ten each, and the mayor of any other city in the state one each and one addit'zzal for each 5,000 in- habitants; commercial clubs and other busi- ness organizations one each and one ad- ditional for each ffty members; county boards one each, and fair associations, by thelr presid and secretaryles, one each, Names of who are to go should be sent to the secretary, Arthur L. Francis of Cripple Creek, Colo., or to Mr. Blowers, preferably the former. A certificate from the mayor and clerk and from the presi- dents and secretaries of organizations will admit anyone to, the congress. All railroads, Mr. Blowers says, will make & rate of one fare for the round trip, and there is promise of reasonable rates for a commodations while in 8t. Paul.

ILER SAID TO HAVE HAD PLANS DRAWN 1 some Structure at Edge of Lake, Which is to Be Enlarged—M City Ge The grading of Twentieth street through Syndicate park was completed over a month ago and it was understood at that time tuat the north gate would be opened at once in order that vehicles might use the roadway. This has not been dors. It is understood that the South Omaha Laxd company will insist upon three electric lights being located along Twentleth street through the park and that the city provide police protection. When these conditions are complied with by the eity the road will doubtless be opemed. Just at the present time the city is in no shape financially to provide either the lights the police protection asked for, but it thought that some arrangements will be made to meet the requirements of the land company in this respect. It was stated here yesterday that some- time today P, E. Iler and Herman Kountse would visit the park for the purpose of looking over the ground and planning ex- tensive improvements. One report has it that Mr. Iler is anxious to turn the park into private club grounds, erect a club- house and a bandstand, as well as other bulldings. To this end he has caused an eastern architect to draw plans for a club- house. The plans, which cost not less than $1,000, call for a splendid bullding to be erected on a site overlooking the I and be commodious enough to accommodate the members of the proposed club. The eastern architect has also planned drives, walks and shady bowers. The lake, if the plans are carried out, 1s to be drained and enlarged. Before the water will be let in a cement flooring is to be lald in order to keep the water free from mud. It is reported that Mr. Iler favors the ex- penditure of about $50,000 in arranging the park for private club grounds. Something definite probably will be known about the project after the inspec- tion today by Mr. Iler and Mr. Kountse. Baturday morning for a two weeks' visit with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. J. 8.

Johnaon, retused to remit and the other. saying he the money would give him a receipt for knocked him down. Frank Daniels went around to the back of the Lange hotel at about § o'clock last night. His judgment of thiags must have been considérably impajred by some cause or other. for he stepped out over the place where the areaway of the hotel is situ- afed and had to be holsted out. He was considerably briised in body. The unex- cted notoriety was also unfortunate for aniels, as the police came around and ar- rested him for drunkennes DIE TOZER—-Willlam, son of Willlam H. and Esther A.

Mayor Koutsky announced yesterday that be had not modified his Sunday ¢losing or- der in the least and as far as he wds con- cerned the saloons would be closed today. ‘There seems to be a feeling of unrest among the liquor dealers and a numiber asserted last evening that they did not propose to stand closing much longer, prder.or no or- der. A member of the council asserted that the chances were that on Monday night a resolution would be offered in the council directing the chief of police to close all stores and keep them closed from midnight Saturday wuntll Monday morning. Drug stor however, to be permitted to be open for one hour on Sunday. In this matter Mayor Koutsky is being greatly worriea by iriends on boih sides, but he declares that he will not rescind the orders given. No additional police will be employed today, but an effort will be made by the officers and detectives on duty to close all places found keeping open. So far pll of the seven complaints filed charge keeping open on Sunday, the sale of liquor not being mentioned. These com- plaints have been made under the city or- dinance and not under the state law gov- erning the sale or giving away of liquor. Cashed Bo Cheek. A day or two ago a prominent businees man cashed a check for $16.25 which now appears to be a forgery. The check was drawn to the order of Murphy & Hinchey, horseshoers at Twenty-second and N streets and was signed M. A. Disbrow & €0. When the check was presented to the merchant by a_small boy he noticed that it had been endorsed by Murphy & Hinchey and showed no hesitation in cashing it. In the course of business the check was banked and sent to Omaha for collection when it was de- clared that both the signature and the en- dorsement were forgeries. The small boy has disappeared and the police have no de- scription of the man who sent the boy on the errand. Culvert Completed. Yesterday the cement culvert at Thirtieth and Y streets was comple the expense belng a Mtth than $200. The engineer- ing department expects that this culvert ‘will last for a long time now as the floor of the culvert has been lowered and covered with a thick iting of concrete. The walls ‘e of concrete also. As it is now the new culvert is sixty-six feet in length. All that remains to be done is to fll in the excava- tion and this work will be completed Mon- day. Telephone Troubles. During the heavy electrical storm last ‘Wednesday night lightning struck the tele phone cable box at Twenty-fourth and N streets and not only melted a large number of wires enclosed in cables, but split the cables, permitting the entrance of water, Since that time electricians have been at work day and night drying out the cables and replacing the damaged wires. This, in & greal measure, accounts for the delay in service during the last few days. In order to take care of customers Manager Holland found It necessary to string a large number of temporary wires. It is expected that the cables will be repaired by Monday. Mrs. Dillon Seriously INI Mrs. M. A Dillon was removed to St. Joseph's hospital Friday and yesterday an operaton for appendicitis was performed.

STREET CAR MEN HAVE OUTING Enjoy Themselves for a Day amnd Evenisg with a Piomie at Krug's Park. The first anual outing of the Omaha street rallway trainmen, postponed from last Saturday because of rain, began in a blaze of glory yesterday afternoon and wound up In a rainstorm last night. The plenic was held at Krug's park and every trainman that could attended. The start was made from Fifteenth and Howard streets, headed by the Huster band in a special car, and it was night befor the end of the crowd had arrived. The time was spent in just plenicking, with several red-hot contests thrown in. Of these all were good and spirited, from the fat man's race to the cakewalk by Robert Buchtel and Cecil Thompson. During the day Huster's band played many selections and Manager Burne saw that the glad hand was kept goiag. A regular basket dinmer was served on the grounds and at night the moving pictures entertained the vis- itors. In the contests these won prizes: Chfl- dren's foot race, Day Critchfield; for the girl's race, Minnie Matthews proved the fleetlest; women's race, Edna Bert; women's egg race, Mrs. S. A.

WATCHMAN GIVES SIGNAL T0O SOON: Two Are Killed and Twenty-Five In- Jured Accldent on Electrie Ratiway Near Hud- - TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 2.—In the| collision of a Vandalia train with a street car here tonight three¢ persons were prob- ;bly fatally, six serfously and two elightly urt. | The injured: Unknown man, skull fractured, both arms nd rightleg broken; cannot recover. John McNarry, motorman, hurt inter- | naliy. John Davis, left side badly cut and in- | jured internally. Mrs. Mary Flory, left leg broken. James R. Pruner, right shoulder broken and head hurt~ 8. M. Ruley, head badly eut. Lee Meade, right leg broken. Mrs.Jda May Pruner, cut about face. H David Collins, two ribs broken. Ruth Solomon, face cut. Mrs. Jennle Rumley, bruised about body. The accident was due to the watchman | st the rallroad crossing giving the car @ | after a string of freight cars was cut at| the crossing to give the street car the| | Batres, right of way. He did not notice the pas« senger train The conductor of the street car, who went ahead of the car, saw the passenger traln approaching, but mot until too late to aveld the collision. McGarry, the in- jured motorman, also saw the train and he gave his car full speed in the hope of crossing in safety. The traln struck the rear end of the car and many of the pas- sengors injured were on the four rear seats. The force of the collision turned the car halfway around. With three ex- ceptions all of the twenty-one passengers remained in their seats until after the train passed. The motorman’s injuries were the re. sult of being thrown heavily to the ground by the quick turn. Davis was standing on the rear platform and was carrled ffty feet on the pllot of the engine. He will probably not recover. HUDSON, N. Y, Aug. 3.—~Marjorle B.
