W. R. Bennett turned over the keys of his new establishment to bis fsrmer constitu ents yesterday.. There were tillers of the soil galore, accompanied by their wives and families. Husbandmen, horticulturists and live atock breeders bobnobed in the corri dors. Mr. Bennett called It his "farmers' convention," and he was bustling about and baking hands with as much gusto as though he were a candidate for sheriff. At 12:30 a great table on the top floor, laid la the form of a V, and set to accom modate 100 people, was announced to be In readiness for the "delegates" and their fam ilies. The scheme was to reproduce a harvest handspread. Everything wsa placed on the table at once; there were no tourses; the menu was strictly rural, and therefore appetizing in the extreme. Great bowls of tomato soup adorned the center of the board. Then there were fish, meat, veg etables, pumpkin pie. apple butter. Ice cream and coffee. When the asslstsnt cook shouted "Dinner Is resdy!" the delegates did their share toward reproducing a din ner hour scene at a farm house during harvest time by taking their places promptly without show of reluctance. All had previously wsshed their faces am: hands In the new lavatory a rite necessary to preserve the spirit of the occasion. When they hsd finished the table was spread for a second relay and another 100 guests were served. During the meal hour they discussed Irri gation, the man In the adjoining township who had harvested five crops of alfalfa in one season, the best way to dig a silo, an Improved make of lister and rotation in crops. Interspersed with these themes were complimentary comments on the big new emporium of their host. All agreed that It was a model of a department store and as sured Mr. Bennett that, now that they knew where to find htm, they would call again. During the afternoon a reception commit tee of twenty-six representative farmers, who previously had had some schooling In he geography of the store, served to pilot the visitors to the various departments. This committee was made up aa follows! Laf Shipley, William Buller, Fred Buller John Umstead, Henry Drlesen, Ed Walker and Hans Anderson of Florence; C. A. Lar son, D. W. Henrv. Carsten Rohwer. H. C. Olissman, William Jensen and William Eicke of station B, route 1, rural delivery; David Reed, Pat Mo Ardle and M. L. Allen of Benson; J. An derson and Chris Tedde of Irvtngton; C. 8. Avery and George H. H. Meadows of Mil lard; John Shipley of South Omaha, John Somes of Elk City, John Kimball of La rlatte, Charles Gaw of Bennington, W. Q, Whitmore of Valley and R. E. Westgate of Omaha. The convention was in session the greater part of the afternoon and ended with ths adoption of a resolution to give Mr. Ben nett a generous share of their patronage.

Two masked 'men entered the grocery store of Frank Sautter, Tenth and Bancroft streets, about 9:30 o'clock last night, beld up the proprietor at the point of revolvers. and robbed the cash drawer of $15. At the time of the robbery Sautter was alone in the rear of the store, covering up some goods. He heard a commotion In the front of the building and straightened up In time to look down the barrels of two revolvers in the bands of a long and a short man, which were leveled at blm. The shorter of the men advanced to the center of the store and commanded Sautter to "hands up," which order was obeyed with alacrity "Where is your money?" demanded the short man. Sautter Indicated with his band the location of the money drawer. Willie ths short man still kept the pro prietor covered, the long man walked around the counter and dumped the money out Into a small sack. The long man then turned his attention to Sautter and satisfied him self that he bad no money on his person. Threatening to shoot him If be moved, the two men backed to the door and then ran east toward the river. Sautter Immediately called up the police station and gave an account of the rob bery. Five minutes sfter the men had left the store Officer Relgelman, who was on the beat, noticed the door open and went across the street into the store. The long man wore a red bandana for a mask and the short man had a white hand kerchief over bis face. Neither has been arrested.

STRIKE IN SHOE FACTORY One Hundred Men and Women Employes tt Kirkecdall's Walk Out. DISCHARGE OF FOREMAN BRINGS TROUBLE aperlateadeat Lets Oat Foreman Because He Woald Not Allow Son Inloa Girl to Work aad Strike Follows. One hundred men and women, members of ho Shoemakers' union, employed at the F. Klrkendall shoe factory. 411-13 South Tenth street, went on a strike yesterday. resulting In the shutting down of three of the departments of the factory. The strike was precipitated by the action of Superln tendent Shannaban In discharging a fore man. Frank Felder. When Felder left the building he was accompanied by every mem ber of the union employed there. The members then went to Labor Temple and after discussing their grievances in se cret President Klrby of the union snd sev eral of tho leaders of the strike called upon Mr. Klrkendall. The conference was held in the salesroom of the company at Elev enth and Harney streets and continued for several hours. Instead of reaching an agreement grievances of past months were brought up and discussed, and after several hours the conference adjourned with notn Ins accomplished. President Klrby refused to discuss tn strike or the cause of it. Foreman Felder was discharged because he refused to allow a young woman not a member of the union, who bad been era ployed by Superintendent 8haunahan, to go to work. The superintendent sent for Mr. Klrkendall. who sustained his action and ordered Felders to allow her to resume ber position. At this Felder objected and said the woman could not work while be was employed at the factory. The superintend ent promptly discharged blm snd the entire membership of the union walked out. Mr. Klrkendall' Statement. Mr. Kirkesdall said: "The strike was precipitated because I upheld Mr. Shanna han. I have made no discrimination as to employes, whether they belonged to the union or not, and this young woman over whom the trouble arose baa been employed at the factory for some time. She has been laid off for a few days because there wss little work In her department and when work was resumed this morning she was sent for by Mr. Sbannahan. I don't know how the strike will end, but I believe it will be settled all right. We did not reach aay agreement this morning, as many other matters were brought up and discussed." The cutting and fitting departments of the factory are still running and will con tinue to run. The factory has an output of 1,500 pairs of shoes daily. The Boot and Shoo Workers' union is affiliated with the Federation of Labor and has a representative In the Central Labor union. The local organization has a mem bership of about 100. From a member of the executive committee It was learned last night that the strike had been brewing for some months, owing to the feeling against Superintendent Shannahan. The union de mands that Mr. Klrkendall reinstate Felder and a young woman who was recently dis charged. "The young woman," said Presi dent Klrby, "with ber sister is the sole support of her mother snd two sisters and for the last three weeks she has been 111 snd the union has been contributing to the support of the family. She is now able to go to work and the superintendent refused to give her a position. We were received very cordially by Mr. Klrkendall and have nothing particular' against him; It Is the superintendent who has caused the trouble. He Is simply making a fight on the organi sation and we do not intend to stand for It. He bad no right to Interfere with the fore man when be said he had no place nor work for the young woman whom Shannahan desired given a position. We have struck and have received a message from National President Tobin to go ahead and use our own Judgement, that be will support us. We bave tied up every department In the establishment and intend to stay out of the factory until the matter la settled sat isfactorily. Mr. Klrkendall said that unless a speedy adjustment of the trouble Is made he will bring other men to Omaha to take the places of the strikers. Several non-union employes went out with the strikers.

WORKING ON GREAT WESTERN Large Force of Meat Are Already Ea- aged In BaHdlngr Kew Line. It was learned yesterday that a large force of men were at work along the extension of the Chicago Great Western from Fort Dodge, la., to Omaha, and a good start has already been made In the construction of the bridges and culverts for this new plecs of railway. The Bates AY Rogers Construction company of Chicago holds the contract for all the bridge and culvert work, of which there la considerable to be done. Five good-sized bridges are necessary, besides a great many culverts. All bridges will be of steel snd will be of such a character that any speed with any size engines and any weight trains can be made over them. All culverts will be of stone. Some time ago the work of clearing up preparatory to beginning the masonry work tor bridges and culverts was begun, and now the sctual erection of several of the structures Is about to commence. Most of ths bridges are required to cross other railroads, and this fact facilitates the assembling of material for them. The steel and other elements ran all be brought In along the railroad which is to be passed over or under, and can thus bn unloaded right at the scene of the work. Instead of much carting being necessary. The viaduct being constructed for the Chicago Great Western at Fort Dodge, the present terminus of the line, la moving well on toward completion, and a consid erable portion of the force of men which has been working on it has this week been transferred to the work farther west on the extension. The keynote of the battle for California travel between the overland railroads this year has now been sounded. It Is not time, nor territory, but equipment. Though this is a radical departure from the precedents of years, the change of policy Is none the less absolute. From now on the slogan of the roads will not be, "We have the finest scenery along our route." nor "We are ten hours quicker to San Fraacelco than any other line," but "Our train cost a million dollars." By putting on ten new trains for the sverland Journey after March $1 the Union Pacific really started the matter, although the Santa Fe and Burlington have been doing something on a similar plan, but In lesser quantities. Every train of these ten will represent an actual coet value of $250,000 and some of the single cars will be worth $40,000. The latest element In this war has Just come to light. It Is the announcement that tbe Chicago, Rock Island Paclfio will take a hand In the contest of extravagance and spend several millions in putting out half a score of new trains. The road is ex tremely proud of Its new El Paso line and has built great hopes on the popularity of Its Journey to the coast by that city. It realizes, however, that It cannot hope to compete with the other roads If It does not duplicate their magnificence of equipment. and this It will do. Tbe new trains will be as elegant and expensive as any running between Chicago and the coast. Assistant General Freight Agent J. O, Pbllllppl of the Missouri Paclfio railway has Just appointed John R. Barrett of Hasting. Neb., traveling freight agent for the Ne braska and Iowa territory, with headquar ters at Omaha. This gives Mr. Philltppl an additional man on bis force here, wnlch h has long desired. Tbe appointment takes effect on April 1. No changes in the pres ent staff will result, nor shifts occur, as a new position is created. Mr. Barrett has been with the Missouri Pacific railway ten years and Is agent for that road at Hastings-. The officials of the road have always thought well of him. Superintendent Rath burn will appoint a man to succeed Mr. Barrett at Hastings. Railway Notes and Personals. General Agent Nash of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul road, has returned from Chicago. General Manager Bldwell of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad has returned from Chicago.

General Manager Holdrere of the Bur. llngtnn has returned from Ht. Paul, where he conferred witn Northern Pacific officials relative to time card matters. No changes were absolutely determined uoon. how ever, although several were considered. HILTON RETURNS FROM EAST He Talks of Prospects for Blar Coa- entloa of Christian Church. W. T. Hilton, pastor of the North Side Christian church, has returned from Cleve land, O., where be attended the annual congress of the Disciple's church. At that meeting were assembled prominent minis ters from all parts of the United States, and one of the principal matters discussed was the coming convention of the church, which is to be beld In Omaha this fall. "Tbe Impression bad gone abroad," said Mr. Hilton, "that Omaha does not want the convention and that tbe business men of ths city bad offered the church $1,000 If tbe convention could be located in some other town. I bad made a speech on the subject of the convention and what Omaha Intended to do before I beard these reports. I then secured permission to talk, again and denied the reports in toto. I said that ths Audi torium company, because of Its failure to redeem Its promise, bsd offered tbe com mittee $1,000 to psy expenses so far In curred if tt were found necessary to change the convention place, but that the local committee bad decided that tbe change was not necessary. ' "The principal desir on the part of the secretaries of the organizations which will be present in Omaha is for a building. They say that they do not want to take the con vention from Omaha, but that a building muat be provided. I told them that there would be no trouble in securing a building of ample dimensions and I think that mat ter has been settled. "In Chicago the ministers srs very much Interested In the convention. They are or ganizing and promise to bave a larg num ber of people present at ths convention. The state evangelist of Ohio has promised to bring the nstlonal convention befor svery district convention In the stats snd believes thst a largs number will bs pres ent from there."

Neb . on a Union Pacific train at 6:30 last ntgbt Carrie Nation had spent Just twenty-four hours In Omsba and broken nothing but tb record for slngle-hsnded conversation. Accepting the adsge that the pen Is mightier than the sword she seems to bave created another to the effect that the tongue is mightier than the hatchet, and retired a a smasher to become an ex borter. With the possible exception of Insurance agents and theatrical advance men she can, undeniably, talk faster and longer than any other human being on earth and the his tory of her visit In Omaha Is the record of a series of monologues, delivered In all sorts of places and to all kinds of audiences. She began talking the minute she ar rived and she stopped only for sleep. She talked reproachfully to a danc ing party at the Her Grand after her lec ture Friday night, and yesterday morning she resumed operstions early at a Sixteenth street saloon nesr Kountzs Memorial church, at which latter place she ate one of the two meals she allows herself tn tbe course of a day. To the saloon proprietor she spoke severely, criticising him for being in a business which was, she said, only pre liminary to a life Job at coaling the fur naces of the Inferno. Starts on Her To sr. At 1:15 In the afternoon she again left the hotel and ..his time on a regular tour. With her were Mrs. Sblnrock, Mtss Ora Shlnrock and Miss Ruth Shlnrock, local Samaritans, and Mrs. M. A. S. Monagon of Lincoln, state superintendent of the Chris tian citizenship department of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, who has traveled with Mrs. Nation all this month and left with her for the North Bend and Fremont meetings. Besides these women were three reporters and a lot of other neonle who were also in the "rubber" busi ness, but not for a living. At the county Jail, which was the first place visited. Mrs. Nation talked piously, but good humoredly, to all "the boys," knelt to pray for them, led In the singing of "Where Is My Wandering Boy" and dis tributed diminutive hatchets to all the prisoners In the line. To her great disappointment the mayor's office, next visited, was locked and she turned her attention to Chief of Police Donahue, who put away bis cigar, at her request, and treated her with courtesy. Her plaint to him was based on tbe Slocum liquor law of Nebraska, but when she ad mitted that she had not read It and grew personal with the chief, the latter grew warm and the relations cold and the hatchetler retired to avoid the chills that are Incident to such abrupt changes In climatic conditions. "Micky" la Hospitable. From the chief's office the precession of righteousness moved majestically and im posingly to the happy-hour emporium of "Micky" Mullen, a Frenchman with a green vest, who smiled largely and serenely when she told htm ba wss feeding bell, and re sponded that he was glad the place bad such a good appetite. His orchestra, tak ing the cue from his genial hospitality, re sponded to ber request for music by play ing her favorite, "Tbe Last Rose of Sum mer," slow measure, followed by "They Had to Carry Carrie to the Ferry," double quick. In the triumphal march eastward on Davenport street the Crelghton Medical col lege contributed a large contingent of en thusiastic students and when Ninth street wss resched a crowd of 200 was at her heels, all shouting ber name, but not with unkindly emphasis. Pausing to be photo graphed at the corner of NiDth and Capi tol avenue, the dark meat of the tender loin, she dived unhesitatingly into .the laboratory of Lou Goldsmith, a maker of merry nights and gloomy mornings. It Is not a religious plsce, nor governed with much decorum, and before the crusader left the building she conceded It to be "as bad a placs as she bad ever visited In ber whole life." Half Honr at Mission. From this she went to the tlrir little mli. sion on Tenth street. There she passed an enjoyable half hour, listening to the young voices of the children of the neighborhood sing words that sounded strange and aur- passingly sweet in aucn surroundings. Mrs. Nation aoDeared to take nn nnte nf time or distance, but ber delegation did, and brought her tour to an end after a short visit at Wlrth's garden. For tbe next half hour she rested and lunched at ber room at the hotel and then went n the station to take her train. In the wait ing room she reproached evarr man with a cigar In his mouth and on the platform made a special target of Mr. Potter man. ager of the lunch room. On tbe car plat form she halted to bold a Joint debate with a young man from the farm who recently graduated rrom cubebs to resl cigarettes and was proud of It. The usual crowd gathered and she passed on Into the car only when the train began to move. Xo Hoase-to-Hons Canvass.
