CHICAGO STREET CAR EMPLOYES STREET

14,000 Men on Surface and Elevated Traction Systems Ordered Out Last Midnight.

A strike of 14,000 employes of the surface and elevated'traction system were ordered out at midnight. The men were directed to finish their runs and return their care .to the bams. The strike was called after an allday conference of the transportation officials, labor leaders and Mayor Thompson had showed the two inters ,ests at odds on the question of increased wages, which the men insisted must be guaranteed before arbitrations could be considered. The police at once began'operations to give protection to the workmen who were ready to take the cars out .this morning. All police furloughs were recalled and all available men held at the police station were in readiness for an emergency call. A detail of 500 policemen were dispatched to guard the bams. Officials of the steam roads announced that they would begin a surburban service at .once. Leonard M. Busby, president of the surface lines, announced that no attempt would be made to run the cars until Tuesday. The strike extends to Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting, Indiana, and South Chicago and Kankakee, 111. The union men announced at the beginning of negotiations that they would accept no offer that did not provide a substantial increase in wages.

Barkley Ladies Active In Church Auxiliary Work.

On Wednesday, June 9th, the Barkley Ladies’ Aid were entertained by Mrs. Elmer Brown, Mrs. A. Eib and Mars. Joseph Pullin at a regulq* monthly dime social. Seventy-five ladies and children were present, collection $7.29. This is a real, live society, having 51 members, each one having the privilege of inviting any number of guests. They am divided ito sections and in tur these different sections entertain and the proceeds are turned into .the treasury. The report showed SIOB in the fund, besides contribution. A penny from each is given for flowers. These are sent out here and there as a token of sympathy or on missions of cheer."' At present the church is being reshingled, the Aid paying a goodly portion of expenses and a committee has been appointed to buy paper for the church and to engage a paper hanger. This past year $23 has been paid out for conveniences in the parsonage, also $lO for janitor fees. They sometimes have a short propram at the monthly meetings, but not necessarily. Some bring fancy work of their own, but no sewing is done for sale. They just visit. Those who are unable to attend consider they have been deprived of an interesting social event. So they plan for time to go and it’s a wonderful thing for country women who are tired and worn, with the daily routine to spend an afternoon with neighbors and friends in conversation. They gain helpful suggestion and renewed energy. The refreshments are always well worth the money. The appended article was read at Mrs. Pullin’® home last Wednesday, stating some-of the things Ladies’ Aids are doing: JThe old churhc bell has long been cracked; sits call was but a groan; It seemed to sound a funeral knell, With .every broken tone. “We need a bell’ the brethren said, “But taxes must be paid; We have no money we can spare—- “ Just ask the Ladies’ Aid”. The shingles on the roof were' old; The rain came down in rills, The brethren slowly shook their heads t And spoke the “monthly bills.” The chairman of the board arose, And said, “I am afraid That we will have to lay the case Before the Ladies’ Aid.” The carpet had been patched and patched Until quite beyond repair, And through the aisles and on the step®, The board® showed hard and 'bare. “It’s too bad,” the brethren said; “An effort must be made To raise an interest in the part Of members of the Aid.” The preacher’s stipend was behind; The poor man blushed to meet The grocer and the butcher, as . They passed him on the street; But nobly spoke the .brethren then: “Pastor, you shall be paid; We’ll call upon the treasurer Of our worthy Ladies’ Aid.” “Ah!” said the men, “the way to Heaven Is long and hard and steep; With slopes of ease on either side, The path is hard to keep. We can not climb the heights alone; Our hearts are sure dismayed; We ne’er shall get to Heaven at all Without the Ladies’ Aid.” —From an old scrap book.

THROAT PARALYSIS v CAUSED EEL’S DEATH

Funeral of Son of County Treasurer A. A. Fell Was Held in Remington Sunday P. M. I The body of Horace Fell was tenderly laid to rest Sunday afternoon in the Remington cemetery, where many old friends and lodge brothers had gathered to pay their last measure of affection. The service was conducted at the Methodist church by Revs. Warriner and Curaick and at the grave, by the Masonic order. The pallbearers were members of the Logansport Order of Railway Firemen, to which the deceased had belonged during tEe time ’he was employed on the Pan Handle railroad. The work of that order was also given at the grave. Deceased also belonged to the Knights of Pythias. The following account of his death is taken from the Matagorda County Tribune, of Bay City, Tex., near which city he had lived for several years:

“When the news of Horace Fell’s death flashed over the city yesterday afternoon like lightning, the city, in its entirety, was stupified and dumbfounded. It was unbelievable because of the fact that only .a few moments prior to his death he was at work, and in his usual cheerful mood, at the garage, and no one suspected anything serious. He came in with Mrs. Fell from Chalmers early in the morning to help get out some rush work at the Bay City Auto and Sales Company’s garage. He had not even complained to his wife. Once or twice during the morning he stated to those working with him that he felt a peculiar sensation in the throat and treated it once himself. When he complained again about difficult breathing those with him insisted that he go to the hospital. This he did, but Dr. Jones could not discern any dangerous symptoms and administered for his relief. H$ went on back to work, but was soon rushed back to the hospital and died in a few moments, before Dr. Jones could get medical assistance or a consultation. “The case is very rare, so we are informed, and has baffled the physicians of the city. Mr. Fell literally choked to death without any apparent cause. Artificial means of respiration were resorted to and his heart kept active for twenty minutes after he had stopped breathing. “Owing to the prominence of the family and has own enviable popularity, his death was a distinct shock to everyone who knew and loved him, for he was one of those lovable characters one so seldom meets in life Always affable and genial, kindhearted, whole-souled and liberal in all things. He was a friend to everyone and everyone his friendr He was a man amongst men ad of sterling character ad worth. He was a citizen the city and community can ill affortl to lose.”

The following obituary was redd at his funeral: Horace Howard Fell, son of Alsan and Susannah Fell, was born in Gass, 111.,' Oct v 3, 1876, and died June 9, 1915, at Bay City, aged 38 years, 8 months and 6 days. He was married to Mabel Brown, of Upland, Ind., Jan. 21, 1903. He was a member of the M. E. church south, with which he united Feb. 1, 1913. He was of such a social and hospitable nature that few young men had more or firmer friends. He belonged to the Masonic order and the B. of L. F. and E. He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife and a father, his mother having preceded him to that better world fourteen years ago. He also leaves one brother, Charles Fell, ofDenver, Colo., one sister, Mrs. Ida Tyler, of Pierpont, S. Dale., a grandfather, Charles Bonner, of Remington, and a number of other relatives with hosts of friends. While Horace is gone, yet the memory of his life, so full of usefulness and kindness, will linger long to bless and comfort those who are left.

Children’s Day at Christian Church.

Children’s day exercises at the Christian church last evening was pronounced one of the best of its kind ever held in the church. The building was crowded almost to its capacity, and the splendid program was much enjoyed. The entertainment was a Trip to Japan, and consisted of songs, readings, 1 dialogues and stories of the Sunrise Kingdom. One of the features of the evening was a song in Japanese to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me.” The offering was a good one, and goes to the work of spreading the gospel in foreign fields.

Autos that were standing in the street were crushed by falling polls. Several fires resulted. The Star printed pictures showing the damage that resulted in parts of that city.
