RAIL TIEUP ENDS English Strikes Settled After Men Meet.Oitlclels. MEN ARE RETURNING TO WORK Meeting Announces Peace Situation Seems to Be Most Critical Joint Committee WMI Investigate 1907 Conciliation Act. Relief swept ovit Englnnt when the .innoiinemcnt was made frfn t lie hoard of trnde offices tlmt the railway strike hr-.d been settled and that the men were returning: to work. Telegrams quirkly were dispatc hed to nil Important railway towns bear ing (he Information and crossed in transit messages to Umdon describ Inn the strike rlota in Uanelly and tmaller towns In the kingdom. The rablnet had been working night and day since the strike was threat cned to nrrnnge a compromise be tween the railway managers and their employees. Moat of the credit for the ultimate success of these efforts appears to rest with David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, who, In his statements to parliament and In an Interview with the man agers and the men, worked for concil iation when all other Interested par ties seemed to have given It up. A Joint committee of five members, composed ol two representatives of the railway companies, two of the inen and a non-partisan chairman, will be appointed tomorrow to Inves tigate the workings of the concilia tion act of 1907, which the men claim is the root of all their grievances. This device overcomes the men's ob jections to a royal commission, which they contend always has been In prac tice a synonym for delay. So far as technical advantage In the compromise goes, It appears to be In th. men's favor, particularly as the managers consent to meet their rep resentatives. The official statement concerning the agreement savs the managers consented to this scheme In view of certain representations made them by the government, Including a promise of legislation to permit of an Increase In railway rates. The men claim victory for unionism on the point of recognition of unions, which was one of the most vital principles at stake. EOMOND ROSTAND.

Oct. 19. (Hy Palmer L. Clark) For several yeats many observing and leading harness horsemen have predicted n great future for the southwestern portion of the United States along racing lines as well as In breeding and developing the bar ness horse. Up to the present, this season has been the banner year In the wny of positive proof from all standpoints on this important ques tlon. It would be- Impossible in the space of one newspaper article to present all the facts going to prove the wonderful strides made In the various phases of the light harness horse Industry in the territory men tioned and consequently but one fact In each line may be mentioned to give an Idea of what is doing there. The phenomlnal entry list received bv the Muskogee Trotting Associa tion furnishes food for thought. All things considered. It is the largest, and shows more quality than hns been received by any other half-mile track this season. The sensational young trotting stal lion, Joe Bovvers, which has been very much In evidence OVsf the two lap rings In Illinois, and was recent ly sold to J. L. Dodge, of New York state, for $10,000, by his owner and breeder, Mr. Frank McKee, of Pom a Cltv. Ok lft.. Is a fair indication of what (he southwest can do In the way of producing high class race horses. This, In turn, brings prom inently forward the extensive Chic askla Stock Farm at Blackwell, Ok la., owned by Kd. L. Peckham, which tody stands nt the head of the list In this line. Symboleer, the premier stallion, sire of Joe Bowers, 1:09)4, and other sensational performers fsr feveral years past, together with the choice band of brood mares, are des tined to make history along th NM lines, and today, Symboleer means as much In that section of the country as an Electioneer did to California in the palmy days of Palo Alto or a George Wilkes when that great sire was having his boom in Kentucky. However, the southwest is not de pendent on the big farms like lbs cue above mentioned, as the smaller breeders are quite numerous and in a position to do their share. Frank McKee, who bred Jce E W era. Is a fnlr example. He has six brothers and sisters of this year's sensation and undoubtedly, oven with the customary run of racing luck and accidents, some of these very prom ising prospects will be beard from In time, while a good portion of the $10, 000 realized fram the sale of Joe Bowers, will go into choice young brood mares which in turn will be bred to good horses ami in that way carry en the good work. In point of attendance, race meet ings in the southwest compare most favorably with any other section, so that it would seem a certainty that the future of racing and breeding in that part of the country Is exceed ingly br!; lit. ever stop to think what that phrase means? It means that In the week Just p-issed no misfortune has befall eu anyone In our community; that no fire bar wiped out a neighbor's worldly Roods; that the grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man. driven by liq uor, or hatred, or fear, has taken the life of a fellow human; that no poor d- vll, hnunt'Hl by the past mis deeds of some other, hns crossed the t:rent divide by Ills own hands. So the next time you pick up a paper that does not announce a tragedy, give thanks Instead of grumbling be cause there Is no news. Or. if you would rather, shall we dish you up a choice morsel of scandal? Would your eyes grow round, and would you smack your lips with relish If we were to write up n sensation? Well, we can do It. Shall we commence on you? Do you think you've kept that little secret all away from ev erybody? Well, if you could look ov er the editor's little book you would be surprised in rill probability to ese your name written there and further a story in detail wiiicli you ronly thought was all your own. Nothing In the pnper? Do you long to see a procession of skeletons marching by your door? Do you court such a procession? We all have our fallings tind none are immune.

W. C. T. U. DEPARTMENT Box Butte County Annual Conven tion, August 31, 1911 WESTOVER-M'KERRON WEDDING ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT More Thorough Cultivation Belter Crops Means INTERESTING CON VENTION PROGRAM NOTHING IN THE PAPER An Exchange's Opinion Is News as to What Frequently you pick up a local pa per and after glancing at It, wearily throw it aside, remarking, "Nothing in the paper this week." Did you Last week The Herald mentioned Joe Westovor's visit to the home folks at Rushville and that he at tended his sister's wedding, but we did not have the necessary data at that time to give a full account of the happy event. We are pleased to reprint the following from the Rushv'lle Recorder of last Friday: On Thursday, August :.. occurred the wording of Miss Alice Viola Westover to Jas. L. McKerron, at the home of the bride's parents, on the Extension. Rev. Hageman went out with them and tied the nuptial knot in the presence of th? Immedi ate relatives of the bride. The ar rangements for the wedding were so quietly curried out that not a soul knew of it until after the event was over. Mr. McKerrcn had closed out his business and was busy all Thurs day morning packing up, with the in tention of leaving that night. Miss Westover, always a favroite with the young people, had promised to play for the select dance Saturday night. They both managed to get out quiet ly to the Extension when the happy ev ent i as consumated. Needless to say, some of us feel these quiet weddings are somewhat disappointing to the crowd, though delightful to the ccntraclng parties, especially when they are so well known to the community. The bride is the eldest daugh'er of Judge and Mrs. W. H. Westover, and is a young lady among a thousand. Highly gltted as a musician, she unites uncommon genius with a sunny, generous dis position and abundant good sense and admiral training in domestic science. The writer has known her for 15 years, and as a neighbor for eight, and we have always consider ed our daughter fortunate in having such -mi accemplished music teach er, and we believe we voice the same sentiments for many more in Rush villa, who will miss her very much In musical and social circles, Needless to suy, she will m: k i an Ideal wife. The gtoom Is alao well known in the community, where his connection with the local baseball team and band has won him many friend He is a jeweler by trade, genial and obliging and generous to a fault We understand his father has offend him a good position at Stanwood, la., where the happy couple will make their future home, It has come to be a generally re cognized fact that more thorough -cultivation Is needed in western Nebras ka to make the success of farming that may be made of it. While this Is properly termed a semi-arid coun try, yet It Is well known that there Is plenty of rain here every year to produce good crops If all of the mois ture could be conserved for the ben efit of the crops. It is also a proven fnet that by a proper system of cul tivation nearly all of this moisture can be conserved. Any person or persons who by any means assist In or encourage this kind of eultlva '.on is a benefac tor to this count vy. L L. Acheson. hardware and Implement det.'-r. Is doing good uloiie, thi-t line. He is agent for this part of the state for the Rumley Oil-Pull Traction engine and plows, end It Is through him the manufacture rs of this engine made arrangements to give at this place one of the fifteen demonstrations which they are making in Nebraska. The later part of last vveek they had one of tlitdr 15 H. P. tractors, pull ing six 11-Inch plows, which is their light; it engine, giving a demonstra tion on the farm of C. L. Powell, north of this city. Two men were In charge, and the work that they did In this (leinor.Kiiitticn not only proved the good qualities of the en gine that they were cpernling but helped to create a greater Interest among farmers in thorough cultiva tion, which is without doubt n good thing for the country as a whole. While the engine used hero was only a 15-H. P., this engine is made as high as 30 H. P. We have seen enough of farming in north western Nebraska to be thoroughly convinced that while careless farming may occasionally produce a good crop, the only satis factory way to engage in farming in this country, one year with another, is to do the work thoroughly and according to methods that have prov en successful, and we are fully con Mined that if farming is done in that way and crops that tire adapted to this country are planted, agricul ture may be made, and already is being made, a success. The Herald wishes to commend every effort made to improve methods of rarming In this country. The Box Butte County W. C. T. U. Annual Convention will be held at the home of Mrs. 1. M.
