The Carnival Program f of the WeekThe Roman Stsdlum
and Other Features.
Tho queen's committee, comprised of
seven of Rosoburg's most prominent
young men, have selected Miss Willetha
Reed to act as queen of tho Roseburg
carnival, commencing Monday, June
22, and lasting six days.
A more beautiful or gracious queen
could not havo been selected from
among all of Rosoburg's popular and
beautiful young ladies, and wo are
proud to bo among tho loyal subjects
that will pay homago to Queen Willetha
1st during tho carnival.
Miss Reed has selected the following
young ladies to act as hor maids of Jion-,

Another Threatened Strike.
San Jose, Calif., is probably on the
eve of the greatest labor agitation it
has ever known. It will be precipitated
by the grocers' teamsters' union, which
will go on a strike tomorrow morning un
less its demands arc complied with
i lie drivers ask the employers to sign
a wage scale of $40 a month for driver
of one-horse wacons and 50 a month
for drivers of two horses. Tho employ
ers woukl willingly pay the slight in
crease, bat they are bound by the action
of the Merchants' Association, to which
most of them belong, not to sign any
agreement with any union, and there
fore they refuse to sign the wage scale.
Tho Federated Trades Council has in
dorsed tho demand of the drivers
union, and there is good reason to fear
that if the merchants do not recede
from the position they have taken, a
great sympathetic strike of all trades af
filiated with the council which are di
rectly interested, will bo ot once or
dered. Tho laundry workers' strike has
also been indorsed by tho Council.
Leper Divorce and Jlarriage.
As a result of recommendations by
the United States Committee, which
visited Honolulu last fall, and local agi
tation, the Board of Health is trying to
arrange for about GO divorces at the
leper settlement on Molokai, and tho
assistance of the Attorney-General lias
been invoked. The Legislature had be
fore it a law to provide for divorces free
of cost for lepers, but it failed to pass,
and tho boarJ will undertake to act and
ask tho courts to remit costs. The rea
son for securing divorces is to permit
the parties in tho settlement to marry
again, in all the cases under considera
tion tho husband or wife is at the set
tlement, while tho other party is away.
The separations have resulted in condi
tions at tho settlement which the Sen
ate Commission strongly condemned.
and it is tho opinion of many that the
moral situation would bo greatly im
proved if the lepers were free to inter
marry at Molokai. Tho plan has
aroused some local opposition, chiefly of
a religious nature.
Swindler Captured.
A niRn by the name of J. C.
OoKfrins, who hus been operating in
Spokane and Seattle for some titno
was arrested m Eugene Saturday
evening in Hampton Brother etoie
by Officers Eastland and CroDcr, for
pntsing a forged postoflico money

His method of operating was

cals erase the writing and raise it to
some larger amount. At tho jail
Coggins admitted he was wantod by
the U.S. authorities. Monoy orders
ana a complete ontht for raising

thirteen days and draws talent
for its platform from all parts of the

the rich array of talent there schedul

A cloud burst at Capital Creek, Colo.,
caused a landslide which carried away
portions of tho Colorado Midland rail
road tracks, and buried other portions
nndcr thousands of tons of earth and
stones. Fortunately no ono was killed.
In the yards of the Oregon Short Lino

A cloud burst of the Xorthern Pacific
railroad between Columbus and Park
City, Mont., caused a complete tie up of
traffic Sunday. The water in Valley
Creek usually completely dry at this

twenty feet high sweeping everything

miles of the road bed was littered with
debris from the Uecl,
The members of the Building Trades
Employers' Association of Xew York
City, announced Monday that not only
would the present lookout continue but
that other work would bo stopped, thus
completely tying op building work un
less all labor unions should adopt the
plan of arbritntion to prevent further
strikes. Tho new condition of affairs
came as a thunderbolt to the majority of
the walking delegates, who had thought
that about 50,000 of the 120,000 men out
since May 4 would resume work Tues
day. On Sunday at PitUGeld, 111., Fred
Mink, age 21, shot Newton W. Harris,
and then shot his own stepmother.
Newton was shot in his bam yard while
feeding cattle. The Sheriff and several
armed posses are pursuing Mink for a
number of hours, and his death alone
will satisfy tho infuriated citizens. The
trouble is said to havo been the out
growth of Harris' refusal of the hand of
bis daughter, BeuUh, in marriage to
Mink, and of an alleged long-standing
enmity between tho slayer and his step
mother. Appeal for aid has been made for the
flood sufferers of Kansas City, Kansas.
Thousands are homeless and destitute.
and widespread sickness and death
must ensue unless the necessaries of life
are soon supplied. An area where
dwelt 23,000 people was swept by a wall
of water, ten to thirty feet high which
has swept away over one-third of the
houses in this district, has almost ruin
ed another third, and that in the entire
distsict tho merchandise, household
goods and clotliing have been cither
washed away or almost totally ruined
by a tendays submersion, and a deposit
in all buildings of from two to four feet

Aims to Obviate Strikes.
A special from Denver, Colo., cays
that it was announced Tuesday that the
now constitution of tho American Labor
Union, which was adopted just before
the adjournment of tho annual conven
tion on Saturday last, will bo submitted
to a referendum voto in December. The
principal change provided by tho new
constitution is tho centralization of
power in tho executive board, and will
have tho effect of reducing strikes to the
minimum.
Under this provision tho power of de
claring strikes is taken from the local
unions. When any tnido or craft has a
grievance tho local must refer tho mat
ter to iU National body, and if that
body fails of a satisfactory adjustment,
then tho executive board of tho Ameri
can Labor Union is required to investi-.
g-ato tho grievance
Should a striko bo decided upon bv
this board, which is all-powerful in de
claring strikes, all affiliated unions
called out must respond immediately.
An asscssmont of 5 cents per month per
member for a permanent striko fund is
ono of tho other important changes.
This will givo a fund of $G0,O0O annually.
