Troops Finally Fire Into Mob ajad One Dead Victim Is a Woman. Belfast, Aug. 13 Serious and fatal disordersoccurredhere again last evening. The troops tired into the crowd and a woman and a man were shot dead and a number of others were seriously wounded. The conflict between the soldiers and the rioters took place in the vicinity of the constabulary barracks in the Cullingtree road. The trouble became acute about C p. m. when a mob of men and -women attacked a police Inspector. Soldiers were at once summoned to the scene, tr.'t they were met by a hail of paving stcnes which resulted in emptying some of the saddles. The riot act was read, but the maddened mob refused to disperse and kept up a terrific fusillade of stones, broken bottles and brickbats against the police and the military. Bayonet and baton charges failed to rout the frenzied rioters and ultimately the order to fire was given. Rioting continued until nearly midnight. The rioters stretched chains across the streets to impede the movement of troops, and official reports state that three rioters were killed, six seriously and hundreds slightly wounded. The police courts sat until midnight hearing charges against the numerous prisoners. SITUATION IN PERSIA Ambassador Irishman Saya Reports from There Are Colored for Political Purposes. Washington, Aug. 13. The following cablegram received at the state department from Ambassador Leishman, dated Saturday at Constantinople, relative to the clash between Turkish and Persian troops on the boundary line between those countries: "Further investigation regarding the frontier trouble confirms the correctness of my former opinion that the Americans in Urumiah are in no particular danger of attack by tha Turkish regular troops." Leishman expresses the opinion that published reports of the border trouble are exaggerated and colored for political purposes. The fact that Russia is the only nation that maintains a consulate at Urumiah makes it difficult to o'otain reliable Information from that point. Mr. Leishman suggests that If the state department is desirous of keeping in close touch with the situation it might order the American consul at Tabriz to proceed to Urumiah and report. Tornado Costs LaCrosse $200,000. IiflCrosse, Wis., Aug. 13.

'ABASLE STANDARD"

That is the Universal Cry Soys an Official of the Oil Trust. HE GIVES AN ILLUSTRATION Conversation Between a Government Inquisitor and a British Business Man John 1). Predicts Troublous Times. New York, Aug. 13. The following statement was given out at the offices of the Standard Oil company here: "The only reply which the Standard Oil company would make to the latest report of Herbert Knox Smith was the following, which it asks the public to consider as illustrative of tho method, and spirit which has dominated the commissioner's utterances: An actual colloquy between a United States representative of the bureau of con 'orations aud au English dealer in Russian oils. Wants Help in Downing Oil. "United States agent You have had contract relations in times past with the Standard Oil company? English dealer Yes. "United States agent Will you permit me to read the contract? English dealer I will not, and am aniuzed that you should make such a request. "United States agent My reason for making the request is that as a competitor of the Standard Oil company I should think that you would be very glad to assist us in downing them." Will Reply to Smith Fully. "The inquiries, the reports and the illogical deductions of all departments of thegovernnient in this matter have been actuated by no other spirit than to 'down the Standard.' What do the American people think of this, not only as a 'square deal' proposition, but for its effect on, American commerce? The business of the Standard Oil company has been conducted always with careful reference to the rights of the public and under thedst possible legal advice, In conformity with our complex laws. At the proper time and place full and complete answers will be made to Mr. Smith's erroneous and illogical statements." John I. Sees Breakers. Cleveland, O., Aug. 13. John D. Rockefeller's answer to President Roosevelt's anti-trust litigation campaign is a prophecy of financial disaster that will sweep the country from end to end. At no time in his interview did he use the name of President Roosevelt. He referred to him as "the administration." "The policy of the present administration," Rockefeller said, earnestly and deliberately, "toward great business combinations of all kinds can have only one Tesult It means disaster to the country, finan cial depression, and financial chaos." Celebrated Violinist Dying. Berlin, Aug. 13. Joseph Joachim, the celebrated violinist, is dying at bis home in this city. His left side Is completely paralyzed. Chinese Stewards on Pacific Liners. We sailed from San Francisco, bound for Honolulu, on a ship whose stewards and sailors are Chinamen. Even if all does not go well with the boat's motion in days of storm, one cannot fail to be entertained by these spry sons of the orieut. The costume worn bv the stewards is quite remarkable. For ordinary, ev eryday wear they don white garments that lesemble American pajamas in their style of cut and fit. For dinner each evening and on Sundays the white suits are exchanged for light blue garments of the same description rather an odd livery to our prosaic minds! Of course, every Chinaman preserves a habitual, solemn silence. If, owing to an interesting conversation, the passenger fails to notice the dish with which the table steward is trying to serve him the patient Chinaman stands im movable, with outstretched hand and sphinxlike countenance, until attention is drawn to him, after which, his duty done, he slips in silence on his way Plodding, silently, the sailors attended to their duties with mournful faces that strongly appealed to me. They ate with cboD sticks, sitting on their heels the while, and were, in fact, eminently satisfactory specimens m every way. Travel Magazine. Takes His Own Medicine. In Baluchistan when the physician gives a dose he is expected to partake of a similar one himself as a guarantee of his good faith. Should the patient die under his hands the relatives, though they rarely exercise it, have the right of putting him to death unless a special agreement has been made freeing him from all responsibility as to consequences, while if they should decide :pon immolating him he is fully expected to yield to his fate like a man. Man's Ruling Wish. There is one wish ruling over mankind, and it is a wish which is never in a single Instance granted each man wishes to be his own master. It is a boy's beatific vision, and it remains the grownup man's ruling passion to the last. But the fact is life is a service. The only question is, Whom shall we serve? W. F. Faber. Still In the Dark. "Does your maid object to being called a servant?" "I don't know. We've only had her two weeks and she hasn't really permitted us to get on speaking terms with her as yet."

THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

WIRE STRIKE IS CONTINUOUS. (Continued from pfige 1.) delphia, Baltimore, Washington and nttsburg and intermediate points a sufficient force remained loyal to permit the main body of news to move. In the smaller cities where the Associated Press operators are the medium by which the news is transmitted to the newspapers there was a similar cessation of work. Many of these points received their news service by telephone and other emergency methods, but in some instances the operator remained loyal and continued to serve the local papers. General Manager Stone remained at the general offices of the Associated Press at New York throughout the night, receiving reports from various sections, and arranging for the uninterrupted continuance of the news service to the newspapers of the country. One of his first messages was one of recognition of the devotion of those who had remained loyal to the service and were carrying forward the work. Another message directed that all men who had struck be paid off and their services terminated as toon as possible. The strike was made against the wishes and advice of Grand Secretary Russell, of the telegraphers' union, who made every effort to keep the men at work for another twenty-four hours, or until arrangements had been made for a conference between General Manager Stone, of the Associated Press, and a committee of the operators. CONCILIATOR AT WORK But He Refuses to Say Anything About What He Is Doing. CuicagO; Aug. 13. Peace negotia tions looking towards an adjustment of the telegraphers' strike by arbitration were begun here last night. Labor Commissioner Neill, of the United States government, and Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the National Civic Federation, came to Chicago with this end in view. At night at 10 o'clock they went into conference with National Secretary Russell, of the tele graphers' organization. The meeting lasted for over an hour, and was held behind closed doors. Neill when asked if any progress had been made toward getting the opposing interests together declined to answer, and stated emphatically that he would have nothing to give out for publication until something of a def inite character had been decided upon. IN TOO BIG A HURRY Associated Press Says the Operators Want a Reply Too Sudden. New York, Aug. s 13. Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, has replied to the requests cf the telegraphers employed by the Associated Press. These requests were: "Day work, six days, eight hours daily, $30 per week, and overtime and extra at the rate of 60 cents per hour. Night work, six nights, eight hours, $33 per week, and overtime and extra at the rate of 70 cents per hour. The vacations to remain as at present. A proportionate increase for chiefs and subchief operators." The telegraphers requested a reply by 7:30 p. m. yesterday, Is dated New York, Aug. 12, 1007, and says: "I received this morning a communication from a large number of the operators in the service of the Associated Press asking for a changed scale o wages and hours, and requesting a reply by 7:30 o'clock this evening. The changes involved are so radical in their nature as to add over $200,000 a year, and probably more, to the expense of this organization. The Associated Press is mutual in its character, makes no prots, and has no surplus fund out of which such a sum could be paid. Any such increase must of necessity be levied back upon the newspapers as a part of their weekly assessments. "As general manager I have no power to make such an increase, either in salaries or assessments, without authority from the board of directors, and it is obviously impossible to call this board together within the time named. The board consists of fifteen members scattered throughout the entire country. "At the same time, acting under authority heretofore granted me by th board of directors, I shall be very glad at any time to meet a committee of our own operators and confer with them respecting hours of service and compensation with a view to making some recommendation to the next meeting of the board of directors which shail meet any fair or ust expectations of those In our operating service. "Even were I free to act I think you must agree with me that a question of this magnitude should not be pressed to a conclusion within the limits of a few hours and without any opportunity for consultation between myself and representatives of our operating force." Strike Reaches Canada. Montreal. Aug. 13. Between 25 and CO operators in the Great Norhwestern Telegraph company's office have struck in sympathy with the operators in the United States. Asks Roosevelt to Intervene. Quincy. 111., Aug. 13. The Quincy Whig has forwarded a telegram to President Roosevelt asking him to intervene in the telegraph strike.

"Lassie," she said to her little granddaughter, "gang round to Donald McCallum and bring me a gill. Tell him I'll pay him i' the morn ing." Back came the child with a refusal. Donald declined to part with his whisky without the cash. Eager and irritated, the old woman cast about for some means of "raising the wind," and her eye fell upon the family Bible. "Here, lassie," she said, "gie him this and tell him to keep It until I bring him the siller." Off went the little girl, but she soon returned, still car rying the Bible. Donald was obdurate. "He savs he maun hae the baubee3 first, granny." In anger the disappointed grand mother threw up her hands and ex claimed: "Losh, did onybody ever hear the like o' that! The man will neither tak my word nor the word o' God for a gill o whuskyl" A Canine Shirker. Rex, a thoroughbred Spitz, must perform the painful duty of escorting a certain neighbor home when she has been calling at our house. However, It is not without a show of reluctance that he does it Recently our friend missed her escort and no amount of whistling proved equal to recalling him. This occurred several times and it was always in about the same place that Rex disappeared. One night our friend determined to discover Rex's j little game. After whistling and call ing she made a pretense of going on. She stopped in a deep shadow. Around the corner of the nearest house appeared a slinking figure. Stealthily quitting the shadows Rex crept out and peered long and anxiously up the street, whither, as he well knew, he should have continued to conduct the lady. After this he turned shamelessly around and lit out for home. Chicago Tribune.
