HOLD! ERA KEEP
BACK MILL PICKETS
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 11.—
Federal troops this noon took charge
of the 1. W. W. mill strike picket
situation here and kept pickets away
from the Wilson plant, where the on
ly attempt at picketing was made.
Local I. W. W. headquarters immedi
ately sent out a call to Seattle to rush
men here, and they are expected to
night. No disorder so far has result-j
ed. Soldiers held pickets two blocks;
away from the mill and finally order
ed the crowd to move on. The orders
were prompt iy obeyed and there was
no loud talking or attempt at resis
tance.
Two other mills and three ship
yards are working but have not been
molested by pickets. The picketing at
the Wilson plant reached sifeh a
height last night, where a mob of sev
eral hundred hooted and jeered the
workers, that Mayor R. C. Sargent
today asked soldiers, stationed here
since the strike began, to take charge
of the situation.
JAPANESE FORCES ARE
CONCENTRATED MANCHURIA
ZURICH, Switzerland, Sept. 11.—
Reports that strong Japanese forces
have been concentrated in Manchuria
are given currency in Bavaria by the
Neusete Nachristen, of Munich, which
also speculates on the possibility of
transporting such troops to the Rus
sian front. If the railway facllites
were the same as before the war, it
says, such an operation would re
quire a long time, but the situation
has been changed greatly, Japan hav
ing laid new tracks and made great
improvements in the rolling stock.
Privates Carnes, Neininger, and
Charles left this morning to repair
the trouble on the telegraph line.
BANDITS SHOOT TWO
AND GET $8,100
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Two men
carrying $8,100, the payroll of the
Winslow Brothers’ ironworks, were
shot to death in front of the plant
today by five baDdits, who escaped
turning from the bank in an auto,
Louis Ozenberg and Barton Allen,
the slain payroll messengers, were re
turning from a bank n an automobile.
As they stepped in front of the en
trance to theironworks a car contain
ing the robbers drew up.
Three of the bandits leaped from
the machine and opened fire with re
volvers. Ozenberg and Allen fell with
bullets in their heads. The bandits
fired more than twenty shots. A score
of pedestrians witnessed the klling.
Two of the bandits remained in the
machine, the motor of which was kept
running. As Ozenberg and his com
panion fell, a satchel containing the
money was seized and the bandits
jumped into the car and sped away.
Ralph McCrary, Richard Maidment!
and Wm. Erickson came in to town
today with three of the big Road
Commission trucks. They reported
much damage done to the trail by
the recent high water. Mr. McCrary
reported that the water had dropped
about five feet since the cessation of
the heavy rains.

SHOTS FROM THE SKY.'
Meteors That Bombard ’ Oe end the
Puzzle of T^oir Origin.
Most persons bare bo comprehension
of the actual bombardment to which
the earth is continually subjected from
the heavens. Millions of small meteors,
enter the atmosphere every twenty
four hours, and in addition to these It
bHs been calculated that on the average
not less thun a hundred large meteor
ites strike the earth somewhere every
year. The small meteors are totally
consumed by the heat and friction, and
only their slowly settling dust ever
touches the earth’s surface, although
any one of them If not resisted by the
air would hit with from twenty to a
hundred times the velocity of the swift
est bullet.
The big meteorites, on the contrary,
which frequently consist of solid Iron,
often get through the airy shield with
enough of their original velocity left to
bury themselves many feet in the hard
est soil. They constitute a real peril.
Although the chance of nnyl>ody being
hit by a meteorite Is almost infinitely
small, yet the annals of mankind show
that a few persons have actually been
killed by these strange shots from the
sky.
Whence do they come? The small
meteors are apparently the debris of
those hardly less mysterious bodies,
comets, but nobody has yet suggested
a satisfactory origin for the great mf
teorites.—Garrett P. Servlss in New
York Journal.

HEROES OF THE SEA.
They Calmly Awaited Death With a
Bong Upon Their Lipe.
The British transport Tyndareus
struck a mine off southernmost Africa.
She began to settle by the bead. Im
mediately "assembly” was sounded the
men put on their lifebelts and stood at
attention till the roll was called. Then
the order "Stand easy” was given, and
they began to sing as fervently as
though marching homeward on leave
through a lane of France or Flanders.
They were perfectly sure that moot
of them would tlnd a grave in the sea
that engulfed so many of their fellows.
They bad no hope of rescue. They
stood exactly as the men of the Birk
enhead stood when they went to their
doom and their imirerlsbable renown
off the same coast slxty-flve years be
fore.
But the sequel by a modern miracle
was happily otherwise. Two steamers
summoned by wireless came and towed
to port the foundering vessel, with a
display of seamanship on the part of
the crews of all three ships that hns
maintained the British navy’s proud
traditions.
The bravery of those who had al
ready given up their lives as lost was
just as sublime as If that ultimate for
feit had been required. Wherever the
deed Is known It will stir the pulses of
men, this story of heroism quite as ex
alted as any that Homer or Plutarch
immortalized.—Philadelphia Ledger.
A Comet 8caro.
Joseph Jerome Lafrancals de La
tande, the popular French astronomer
sit the eighteenth century, differed
from Newton's view that Providence
had so arranged matters as to make
collision of the earth with a comet im
possible and wrote a paper to prove
that it was only very improbable. This
paper, which was to have been read
with others before the French academy
on a certain day in 1773, got crowded
out, but the Parisian public, hearing of
It, made up its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction of
the earth, and such panic ensued that
the police bad to order the publication
of the paper to reassure the public
mind. But even then it was popularly
believed that the paper had been delib
erately toned down, and comet panics
ensued for a quarter of a century
Cold Foot.
Persons afflicted with cold feet, in
stead of taking a hot flatiron or brick
to bed with them, as was once the cus
tom, may new wear either "bed shoes”
or “fleet envelopes” of eiderdown flan
nel The latter are easily made. Take
a yard and a half of eiderdown flannel,
a yard wide. Fold this together en
velope style, the fussy aide within,
leaving -eight or ten inches for the flap.
