LOOKS LIKE TIE-UP OF ONE OF CHICAGO'S GREAT STREET GAR LINES. TROXEL BLOCK OPP PASSENGER DAPOT. 9 to Bring Us Your BUTTER, FOR CHSH OR T.RRDE. si8 A dispatch from Chicago on Satur day afternoon says: "With the alleged refusal of the street-railway officials to answer a re quest for a "peace conference" sent by their striking employes, the latter asserted late today that no further overtures looking to an amicable set tlement of the strike would be made by the men. The situation has re solved itself into a test of endurance, with no disposition on the part of either side to yield. Rumor that the union teamsters were refusing to de liver coal to the power-houses, and the linemen in the company's employ contemplate a walkout tonight, con firmed the strikers in their defiant attitude." Jo r . Dancer oM). Chicago. Nov. 14. Sternly warned that every person on the sidewalk or in the street who shouted abuse at police or carmen would be treated t its men. Its coal bunkers are also receiving particular attention, owing to the possibility of a sympathetic striko of teamsters. Both sides ap peared this aftornoon to have settled down to a determined stiugglo for supremacy. Belgians Exploiting China. The now Belgian concession for a railway from Kal Feng Foo to Honan Foo, contracts for which have just been announced, provides for an issue of $5,000,000 of 5 per cent stock at 90, according to a Times dispatch from Shanghai. The amount can be increased hereafter to meet require ments. The Belgians acquire a rail way traversing the region of the Yel low River, in which a British syndi cate obtained in 189S important min ing rights, since persistently blocked by the obstructive tactics of the Chi cese government. Within a year, says the correspondent, Russia and Belgium have obtained two railway concessions in this region, while the Pekin syndicate continues its fruitless efforts to obtain the advantages de manded and secured by Great Britain five years ago as compensation for China's breach of faith in the Luhan concession. This Must be a Mistake. Direct mail advices from Yokaha ma credit the United States with hav ing offered the Mikado's government monetary assistance in case of trou ble with Russia. While such a re port would usually be at once put down as incorrect, it is to be re marked thst the very conservative tcrnoon on the Coast fork a few miles south of this city, Chas. Davis who was in the employ of the Pacific Timber Company was drowned while working with a crew on a boom of logs. The high waters occasioned by the past few days of heavy rain3 were causing trouble, Davis was out on the logs when a break occurred, and seeing that the logs were getting away ho made a jump to avoid being caught and crushed, but in some way mado a miscalculation and fell under the logs. The body has not been recov ered. The dead man leaves a widow and several children, who reside at BtaqfcButte. Heavy snows are reported from Bo hemia, and together with the inces sant rain of the past few days, Row river is on a rampage, with the re sult that bridges are being washed away and other damages reported from up the valley. The Fate of an Hobo. Drain, Nov. 13 The frightfully mangled remains of an unknown man were found about 1 miles north of Leona at 7 o'clock yesterday by two helper engines returning from Divide. The man was evidently about 25 years of age and apparently had been riding on the breakbeams of the south bound overland train this morning, and had been dragged about 400 feet before the body was thrown to the side of the track where it was found. The body was parctically cut in two or three places. It was buried at Drain today, after an inquest was held. No means of identification at best only moderately well to do. Their object is not to pass the time, to watch the shadow, but to get work done. Tlioy are constantly striving not how to do less work, but to do more work and that work more etlectivo by new meth ods and devices. These men got ahead whother they aro on the farm or in tiio factory or in tiio oflice. 1 heir savings become capital. Thoir experience teach es them how to direct others. They be come capitalists, employers of men, lead ers of mon, but tiio beginning of it was in trying to get work done instead of watching the shadow. (Wallace's Farmer. One Killed, One Blinded. A blast that failed to explode at the usual time tells the story of a tragedy in a tunnel of the Lucky Boy mine on Wednesday, near the noon hour. The charge was properly deposited but owing to a defective fuse, held fire until the miners believed the spark had expired. Joe Miller and George War ner re-entered the tunnel to investigate the cause of the charge's failure to ex plode. Miller was bending over the charge pulling out the fuse when it ex ploded. He was badly mangled about the face and body with flying rocks, one la rue piece embedding itself in his head, an arm was torn off and his throat hor ribly mangled. The unfortunate man died shortly after the accident. His companion, though more fortunate, was maimed for life. lie suffered the loss of an eye, torn out by the concussion. Dr Day 'of this city, who was dispatched to the scene, arrived here at a late hour last night with Warner who was taken to the receiving hospital for treatment. Eugene Register.

Simonides and his daughter Esther, are former slaves of the father of Ben-Hur. When Ben-Hur was consigned to the Roman galley for the supposed murder of the new Procurator of Rome Simon ides took possesion of the wealth of the "Hur" family and now discovering that "Ben-Hur" is alive he offers its re turn. "Ben-Bur" is conceded to be the grandest in-door spectacle ever made in the history of tho world. Over 350 people take paU iu its presentation. It is to be staged at the Marquam Grand Theatre, Portland, for five nights and two matinee performances, starting Tuesday evening, Dec. 1st. I HAVE EASTERN CUSTOMERS AND CAN SELL R. R. JOHNSON, OFFICE IN MARK BLOCK, ROSEBURG, OR. an enemy of pnblic order, tho crowds in the strike district today were for the most part orderly and -easily handled. They were kept moving constantly by the police. With the aid of just half of the entire force o! patrolmen in Chicago, cars were even more successfully taken to and fro on a single street than was the case yes terday. Few passengers availed themselves of the privilege of riding. Meanwhile peace proceedings taken in the earlier day failed to material ize. General Manager McCulloch waited at his office until after tho specified time for the giving of the company's answer to the demand for arbitration, but no representatives of the men appeared. Instead, the com pleteness of the strike was accentu ated by the engineers and firemen at the power-houses failing to report for work. Their places were an nounced by the railway officials to have been filled by nonunion help, The immediate shutting down of the State-street and Cottage Grove-ave nue cables was regarded by tho strik ers as significant. In anticipation of a long siege, tho railway company is rushing prepara tions for tho feeding and housing of and relible Japan Mail quotes it in its Tokio correspondence and comments thus: "Many conjectures have been made as to the contents or a uispatcn re ceived from the United States Gov ernment, which is reported to have removed some of the doubts and dr -pressions of the Mikado's Ministers. One rumor is that it contained offers of financial assistance, which may not bo incorrect. Tho United States could well afford to assist Japan in her struggle for the open door, and tho fact that good relations have a'- ways existed between tne unitea States and this country makc3 it not improbable that somo such offer may have been made." Tho official opinion in Japan before tho Empress of China left was that tho prospects for peace were more favorable. Nevertheless the Japan eso government continues steadily with preparations, which cannot bo looked upon as necessary except in times of emergency. could bo found, but the man was probably a Sweede. Only 15 cents were found in tho pockets of his clothing. Sun Watchers. Drowned in River. Cottage Guovk, Or., Nov. 12 A fatal accident occurred yesterday af- Away back in the dim past when Job wrote liia matchless poem, ho observed that thero were servants, or hired hands, who earnestly observed tho shadow ; meaning tho shadow on the sun dial, which was tho only method of keeping time in thoso days. These men wcro trying to put in their time, not trying to got work done. Tho raco of dial watchers has not died out by any moans. On tho farm they watch the noonday sun, listen for tho dinner bell, and watch acain for tho sunset, nover for tho sunrise. In tho city they listen for tho whistles. Their motions indi cate that they nro simply putting in their time, BOtnetimos doing fairly good work in tho meanwhilo and at other times evidently trvinc to do as littlo work as possible. These men never get ahead m tho world. It is no disgraco to start in life poor; it is no disgraco to do any kind of work. It is an honor to do this work, whatever it may bo, well, honcstlr, con gcientiou8ly, but tho sun watchers whistle listeners, and tho men who aro always waiting for the dinnor horn never become capitalists, nnd never got on in thoworld. Tho capitalists aro for tho most part thoso who start poor or Dills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab lets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when tho proper dose is taken their action is so natural that ono can naruiy realize it is ino cucci of a medicine.
