He reports that he brought from La Porte , Tex. , five families that left Nebraska three years ago to settle on the plains of the Lone Star slate. They all have botight or rented Ncbras- ky farms. Mr. Andrews also says that he knows of many other farmers who went into Texas and Arkansas a. few years ago who are getting ready to re turn to Nebraska or Kansas. The Nebraska India relief commis sion , composed of U. O. Rowlands , president ; M. D. Welsh , secretary and treasurer ; A. H. Wier , J. E. Utt and W. N.

" The ' family of Mr. Hull , a farmer I living southeast of Tekamah , were surprised the other morning on going to their barn to find a boy baby suugly tucked in a box with a nursing bottle ind a label saying it was born August 8 , and a present to Mr. Hull. Mr. Hull , sr. , being away from home , his wife dead and the children of the fam ily being alone , the little one "was taken to Tekamah and turned over to the county authorities , who placed it in charge of the superintendent of the i poor farm. A peculiar instance of the payment of conscience money has occurred in Lincoln , or rather the money comes to that place. Ten years ago Tom Draper was running a restaurant and a board er named G. Christiansen ran away , leaving a § 10 board bill unpaid. Up to 3ast week the man had never .been lieard from. Then Draper received a letter from Christiansen , dated Gerinis- ton , South Africa , and enclosing 12 English money , amounting to about S60. The man wrote that he had wan dered into the land of the barbarians and had made considerable money , and now desired to pay his debt , with some interest added. W. Stokes , a farmer residing six miles south of Elmwood , came to town -with his wife to do trading. The team "became frightened and ran away , throwing Mrs. Stokes out over the dashboard.

JIBED 0B NINETEEN KILLED AND FORTY- ONE WOUNDED. Marching Anthracite Coal Minora Come Into Deadly Collision With a I'onn- Sylvanla Sheriff and Deputies An Attack 3lide hy Strikers Upon O flic era the Cause. Disaster to Marching Strikers. IlAZLirrox , Pa. , SepL 13. Nineteen inarching striking miners were killed and forty-one wounded in a conflict with county deputy sheriffs , led by Sheriff Martin , on the highway at Latimer yesterday afternoon. All of the victims of the officers' Winchesters were foreigners Poles and Hungarians imported some time ago to work in the anthracite coal mines of this region. The shots were fired because the strikers had refused to heed the sher iff's proclamation to disperse and had assaulted tiie sheriff and threatened his deputies. As a result of the riot and further threats of .trouble , the Third brigade of the Pennsylvania national guard , commanded by General Gobin , the new national commander-in-chief of the G. A. R , was at once ordered to this section and the Ninth regiment under Colonel Dougherty of Wilkes- . barre , arrived this morning and other regiments followed during the day , until the whole prigade was here in camp. The strikers left Hazelton about 3:3' ) o ' clock , and it was their inten tion to go to Latiner. As soon as this became known , a band of deputies was loaded on a trolley car and went whirling across the mountain to the scene where the bloody conflict fol lowed. After reaching Latimer , they left the car and formed into thr- companies , under Thomas Hall , E. A. Hcssand'Samuel B. Price. They drew up jn line at the edge of the village , with a fence and a line of houses in their rear. Sheriff Martin was in entire com mand , and " stood in the front of the line until the strikers approached. They were seen coming across the ridge , and Martin went out to meet them. The men drew up suddenly , and listened in silence until he had once more read the riot act This fin ished , a low muttering arose among the foreigners , and there was a slight movement forward. Perceiving this , the sheriff stepped toward them and , in a determined tone , forbade advance. Someone struck the sheriff , and the next moment there was a command to the deputies to fire. The guns of the deputies instantly belched forth a terrible volley. The report-Aeemed to shake the very moun tains , and a cry of dismay went up from the people. The strikers were taken entirety by surprise , and as the men toppled and fell over each other , those who remained unhurt stam peded. The men went down before the storm of bullets like tenpins and the groans of the dying and wounded Jelled the air. The cxct ? rrit flint foiiow'ed Was simply iiuk-acrfbau ' c. The deputies seemed to be terror- stricken at the deadly execution of their gui3 , and , seeing the living strikers "fleeing like wild and others dropping to the earth , they went to the aid _ of the unfortunates whom they had brought down. Along the bank'of the trolley road men lay in every position , some dead , Diners dying. Three bodies , face downward , lay along the incline and three others were but a short distance away. On the other side of the road as many more bodies lay. The school house was transformed into a tempo rary hospital and some of the wounded were taken there. All along the hillside wounded men were found on the roadside and in the fields. Many miners who had been carried to a dis tance could not be found. Martin Roski , an intelligent Hun garian from Mount Pleasant , who was shot in the arm , was seen by a reporter and gave this version of the affair : "We were going along the road to Latimer and the deputies were lined across the road , barring our progress. We tri < ; d to go throiigh tdem , and did not attempt to hit or molest them , when they fired upon us. We ran. but they kept on shooting at us while we ran. It is all their fault" Itryan Nulu a TIiloT. Atchison , Kan. , Sept Ya. A feature of the Bryan meeting here yesterday was the orator 's capture of a pick pocket. As the people crowded up to the stand after the speech , a pick pocket got in his work through the crowd until he had made his way up to Bryan. The light fingered gentle man tried to "touch" the orator while giving him the glad hand , and was seized by his intended victim , who sang out : "Hold him , boys. " People by the dozen discovered they had been robbed. The first policeman to arrive found Bryan hanging to the thief in regulation "cop" style.

Says lie Ortlornri the Deputies to Fire on the Hungarians ISadly Scared. Wii.Kis"A"RE , Pa. , Sept 13. Sheriff Martin arrived hero on the 7 o'clock train from Hazelton. He was cool and collected. He was met at the depot by his legal adviser. The two got in to a cab and drove to the court house , where they were closeted together for some time. The sheriff was at first re luctant to sav whether he had given the command to fire , but attcward ad mitted that he had. The sheriff's de tailed statement is as follows : "I heard early this morning that the strik crs were going to march to the breakers at Latimer and compel the men there to quit work. I re solved to iutercept them , and , if pos sible , prevent them from reaching the breaker. One of my deputies told me that the strikers would probably be heavily armed. I got my deputies , seventy in number , to meet at a cer tain place. They were all armed. I told them to keep cool under all cir cumstances. The trouble began at 3 o'clock. . I met the marching column , halted them and read the proclama tion. They refused to pay any atten tion and started to resume their march. "Then I called on the leader to stop. He ignored my order. I then attempted to arrest him. The strikers closed in on me. They acted very viciously , kicking me , knocking mo down and trampling upon me. I called upon my deputies to aid me , and they did so , but they were unable to accomplish much. I realized that something had to be done at once , or I would be killed. I called to the dep uties to discharge their firearms into the air. over the heads of the strikers , as it might probably frighten them. It was done at once , but it had no ef fect whatever on the infuriated for eigners , who used me so much the rougher and became fiercer and fiercer , more like wild beasts than human beings. "The strikers then made a still bolder move and endeavored to sur round my entire force of deputies. I fully realized that the foreigners were a desperate lot and valued life at a very small figure. I saw that parley ing with such a gang of infuriated men was entirely out of the question , as they were too excited to listen to reason and that myself and deputies would be killed if we were not res cued , or if we did not defend ourselves. I then called upon the deputies to de fend themselves and shoot , if they must , to protect their lives or to pro tect the property that they had been sent to guard. "The next second there were a few scattered shots fired into the foreign ers , and a moment later the entire force of deputies discharged a solid volley into the crowd. I hated to give the command to shoot , and was awful sorry that 1 was compelled to do so ; but 1 was there to do my duty , and I did it as best I knew how. and as my conscience dictated. The strikers were violating the laws of the com monwealth and flatly refused to obey the proclamation that I read to them. Th y ! i ; ' fc'J on doing1 violence and uiaobeyiug the iaWa < "The scLne after the shooting wai simply terrible , and I would have ! , : * not had it but wjrgly occur , , as a public official , I was there to see that the law was obeyed and lived up to , and I merely/lid nvy duty. " In another interview Sheriff Martin said he first met the marching miners at West Hazelton. He as > ked them where they wore going and they re plied : "We are going to Latimer and get the men out there. " ' Then the sheriff and seventy dep uties , armed with Winchesters and re volvers , boarded a trolly car for Lat imer and , marching down the public road , headed the column of Poles and Hungarians. According to Martin's story , when the strikers reached the line of dep uties he ordered them to halt and dis perse. One of the Hungarians said in broken English : "Go to hell , you : , Martin then attempted to arrest the man who made .hc remark , and , as lie claims , was fierce ' assaulted by the man's friends. Then the firing began. Mr. Martin was asked : "When you met the men , were they on company property or on the public road ? " ' He replied : "No , they were on the public road. " ' "Were they marching toward Lati mer ? " ' "Yes. " "Had they , up to that time , com mitted any overt act or acted other wise than peaceably ? * ' "No. " "Why , then , did you order the depu ties to fire ? " ' " 1 did not order the deputies to fire ; some one else did that. First came a single shot and then a voile } * . I gave no order. " "How many were killed ? " ' "Therewere twelve dead when I left and about forty wounded. " "Were any of your men hurt ? " "One of my deputies was shot through the arm. " c CZAR'S CENSUS RETURNS.

Xlpht anil Hay ISven In the Early I-nrt f tin * Harve t A Tremendous Ylolil lintsl < a Samples Heine Shown at the County Fairs in Illinois. ITe Rpeakn From Kxperlence. A Red Willow county correspondent of the Omaha Bee gives the following account of the * situation in that section of Nebraska : "Harvest lasted five weeks in Red Willow county , and some machines ran day and night , only stopping long enough to change teams. The whis tles of the steam threshers are heard long before sunrise , calling the men to work. They have been at it five weeks and it looks as if snow would fly be fore they get through. From what has been threshed it is estimated that 2,000,000 bushels were raised in this county this season and the land is not half under cultivation j'et. Some farmers have 4,000 to 6,000 bushels. There are thousands of acres where the crop this year on one acre will pay for three acres of nice , ricli land. One fine quarter , all under plow , lay idle this year. Had it been sown to wheat the crop would have paid for the land , built a house worth SG00 , a barn wortli § 400 , sunk a well and erected a wind mill , paid for a team , harness and wagon , a stove , three cows and a dozen shoats. A man rented some land last fall. Seed wheat was furnished and he got half the crop. He sowed fifty-four acres , andwhia share brought money enough to pay for a nice eighty-acres and had S100 left. Where seed is not furnished the renter gets two-thirds of the crop. There are a good many fields where the renter's share of 100 acres will more than pay for 160 acres of nice land. I have farmed here fifteen years , but never saw so much wheat raised here in any one year. Some seasons it yielded a little more per acre , but the area sown was not nearly so large. Corn indicates a yield of fort3' to sixty bushels per acre. Alfalfa will be cut three to four times. I have cut mine twice and the third crop will be cut soon. This is on upland , where it is 200 feet to water. I pick apples fresh from my trees for pies and dumplings. NEBRASKA CHOrS LEAD. The Burlington has an exhibit of Ne braska products at nearly all of the county fairs in Iowa and Illinois and reports from these gatherings show that the Nebraska exhibits excel those of the states named. The qualitj' of the products shown is declared better than any grain in the states named this year. Especially are the small grains and the garden products at tracting much attention. In this connection it can be stated that the nine land buyers who were brought here from Illinois by R. N. Johns of Pontiac , a Burlington land agent , this week and taken over Ne braska were well pleased with the out look and several of them made pur chases. September 7 Mr. Johns will bring another party into Nebraska from Iowa and Illinois with a view of buying land. He states that -the farmers of the middle states are very much interested in Nebraska land , and that he expects that this fall there will be manj'of them come here and locate. Not Ilolillncr Up Insurance Companies. Lincoln dispatch : It 1ms bix-ii ru mored lately that insurance' companies were being charged illegal fees by the state auditor , and that some of the money thus taken was pocketed by in dividuals instead of being turned into the state treasury. ' 'I just heard "of the rumor today , ' ' said Auditor Cornell this afternoon , "and I understand it is being widely circulated in Omaha. I wish you would say that any story that I am holding up the insurance companies , charging more than the law allows and putting the surplus in my pocket , is untrue , if anyone is interested enough to go to the trouble to inquire at the auditor ' s office in reference to the charges made to insurance companies , he will have free access to the books and the as sistance of the office force , that he may inform himself as to the matter. It is true that sometimes the clerks in the office make copies of the records at the request of the companies , but it is no part of their official duty , and when done after hours the clerks are entitled to pay for the work. If any of them have made overcharges 1 hare not heard of it. " As To Thurston's Resignation. Touching the recent declaration of Senator Thurston at the republican state convention , a story is afloat that he contemplates resigning his seat in the senate if Governor Holcomb can be induced to appoint a republican as his successor. It is claimed that Senator Thurston has talked the matter over with Senator Allen and that through the latter the matter has been pre sented to the governor. Of course in case the senator were to resign and a successor be appointed , the appoint ment would only run to the next ses sion of the legislature. The reason that political gossip assigns for this alleged contemplated-step by Senator Thurston is that his position is too severe a strain upon his finances. He is anxious to return to his more re munerative law practice. Trains For State Fair Week. The passenger department s of the Union Pacific has just completed ar rangements for three special trains from Nebraska points to the state fair , to be run on each of the following days of state fair week : September 21 , 22 , 23 and 24. These trains are so ar ranged that every point in the state will be Afforded direct transportation to and from the state fair. The executive committee of the pro hibition state committee met in Lincoln last week. D. L. Whitney , secretary of the Beatrice Chautauqua , was chosen to fill the vacancy on the state ticket for regent of the University of Ne braska. The committee adopted a white rose as the emblem to be placad on official state ballots this fall. .Ilsny Cattle Will Be Fed.
