TIIT3 OMXTTA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1003. MICKEY IS IN A QUANDARY Haiti Batwean Two Opinion on the Land Leaing Proposition. STATE BOARD Of AGRICULTURE MEETS Secretary Fcrnas Makes Estimate, of Nebraska Crop (onrftdernbly Below Thmp Previously (;lirn. (From a Staff Corresprrdent.) LINCOLN. Jan. 20 (Special ) With Ne braska's delegation In congress on the one side and the stockmen of the state on tha other, Oovernnr Mickey Is between two fires on the land loaning bill question. The governor bna been urged In a peti tion from Washington, signed bjr the seni tors and representatives, to recommend to the legislature that It draw up a memorial petitioning congress to pass the Dietrich bill for leasing public grazing lands In Ne braska. And the atockmen, through the Thomas County Stockmen's association nnd one from western Nebraska, which held Its meeting at Alliance yesterday, are urging him Just as strongly to take action calcu lated to place the legislature on record In opposition to till measure. "My mind Is not made up on the matter and so I ran say nothing definite now." aid the governor today. "I have Just re ceived the petition of the Thomas county stockmen against the Dietrich bill. It was presented by the president and secretary of that asaoclation, J. D. Edmistcn and K. D. Roberts. I shall defer action until the other protest from Alliance Is In my hands, which probably will be this evening or to morrow. But of course It will require time to deal properly with this matter, which Is of great Importance to the people of this state." Both the petitions referred to were pub lished In The Bee this morning. The committee that will present the Alli ance resolution to the governor will con sist of Senators J. R. Van Bosklrk, W. C. Brown; Representatives Frank Currier and George C. McAllister, John E. Evans and A. 8. Reed. May Take o Action. From the action of these two representa tive bodies of stockmen of Nebraska and the sentiment of the members of thcHcgis lature as nearly as It can be obtained, the general Impression Is that Governor Mickey will decide favorably to the stockmen's views and the homestead law, which all op ponents of the Dietrich bill hold will be deprived- of Its value and benefit to home seekers if thlB measure Is passed by the national congress. The governor, as has raid, will not commit . himself. He added to what already has been quoted, this brief statement, which may, bo considered of some significance: "I would not take any action now. for I have not fully looked Into the matter, and recommendations at nil to the legislature." There are fifty-five farmers In the present Nebraska house of representatives and Cvi overwhelming sentiment among thla num ber, who constitute over half of the total house membership, seems Inimical to the Dietrich bill. A Douglas county member said today he did not think the present legislature was amillar enough with this land leasing roposltlon to act wisely on It. tat Poultry Show. The State Poultry association is now In esslon In the Auditorium and is conduct ing one of. the best poultry shows ever give In tho west. "The show this year," said Rev. Luther P. Hidden today: "Is a Ilttio the biggest And Wif It- tons eveii been. We havo exhibits here from five states and the Interest shown la the greatest I ever saw. The outside public, however. Is not taking the interest it should considering the fact that we have cut the price down to a nom inal admission fee. I believe If the people knew this it would materially Increase the attendance. We want the people to come, and we firmly bellevo that if they will only taka a look at the, exhibit this year they will become as enthusiastic as the rest of us." There are more chickens, turkeys, geeae, ducks, pigeons and Belgian hares congre gated at the Auditorium than most of ua ever saw together before and some of them have pedigrees that if stretched out would reach almost back to the flood. The ex hibit of Plymouth Rocks Is the most ex tensive, although the turkeys are a closa second. A bew department under the care of Mr. E. E. Smith has been Introduced thla year that of eggs and dressed poultry. The dressed poultry shown Is ,11 put up and owned by Armour & Co., and embrace all varieties of poultry and makes a very nice appearance. The eggs shown are from all over the state.

Editor Lou Frazer of the Fairmont Chronlrle was this afternoon rhnren sec retary 'of the State Printing beard. U A. Williams has held the office for the la.rt two years and It was reported . this aftornon that he was not a candidate for reappointment. Oovernor Mickey this afternoon appointed Mrs. Sonus ss superintendent and Mrs. Wllllnm Faulkner as matron at the Home of the Friendless. These two have held there positions for the last two years and though a campaign was conducted against Airs. Sohus the governor said he believed she had done her duty and deserved reap pointment. Slmpklna Iteltevcil a Winner. ' A Rnono county delegation waited on Governor Mickey today, Importuning him to appoint Deputy Game Warden McConnell as state game warden. TH3 governor has the matter undrr advisement, but while ha Is non-committal, It Is upderstocd there Is no doubt of the reappointment of the pres ent state game warden, George B. Slmp klna cf Llnctln. The last' legislature created this office. It provided that the game warden shall have two paid deputies. In pursuance thereto Came Warden Rlmpklns appointed Mr. McConnell cf Boone county nnd Mr. Carter of North Tlafle. The Boone connty people protest that McConnell was never called on fcr anything but local work, f;r which he recclvrd no pay, while Carter drew a regular salary. . This Is said to be the basis of the move ment to supplant aSlmpklns with McDonnell. State Board uf Aajrlrulture. The State Boa pa of Agriculture formally convened today in tho university ibapol. Committees of the board have been at work for two days preparing their reports to be submitted at this convention. The annuel report of Secretary Furnas was submitted this afternoon. It shows total receipts for the year of something over $38,000. of which there remains a bal ance unexpended of almost $1,800. There was expended in improvements upon the grounds during tbo past year, over and above the state appropriation, a little over $3,000, that the salaries of officers of the society ran almost to $4,300, and that the sgclety has pajd scientists some $1,600 for services rendered by them during the past thirteen years. Secretary Furnas take the ground that the fairs of the state association are In tended to be Instructive, and that nothing that la not of that character should be per mitted on the grounds. At present the management is compelled to give place to an aggregation of sideshows and fakes that ore of no value aa educators, In order to make both ends meet and that It will prob ably be compelled to admit them until the legislature relieves It of that necessity. The report deala with the Inadequate means provided for the collection of accu rate statistics concerning Nebraska crops, nd suggests that precinct assessors be compelled by severe penalties for failure to obtain and place on filo statistics such as 111 afford a truthful conception of the yield of the state and the acreage under cultivation. It directs attention to the wide variance in various estimates of crops and acreage during the past year, and will sub mit figures reared by Secretary Furnas bearing on those points. According to Sec retary Furnas, the corn crop of the past year in Nebraska was just a little below 200,000,000 bushels, that of winter wheat about 45,000,000 bushels, of spring wheat about 9,000.000 bushels, of oats about 47. COO, -000, of rye almost 11,000.000, of barley some thing over 2.000,000 bushels, of potatoes nearly 6,000.000 bushels, of hay over 3,000. 000 tons and of alfalfa almost 1,000,000 tors Nearly 12,000 acres were devoted to sugar beet culture, yielding over 100,000 tons of beets and over 25.000,000 pounds of sugar. The premium revision committee has de cided to recommend that, the list be made to provide a class for Nebraska bred ani mals, with proper precautions to prevent a duplication of premiums, and that the mature corn ahow at the state .fair be aban doned for the winter corn show, the pre miums for the latter to be provided by the State Board of Agriculture, while the ex hibit is made under the ausplcra of the Corn Improvers' association.

MITCHELL'S TALK TO MINERS Imprei .ii Upon Them Importance of Inter esti in Their Care. NINE HUNDRED DELEGATES IN SEATS He Reviews DltHralty Leading; to fftrMe anal Expresses toalltart la Verdict to lie tilven ' by Commission. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 20. The first thing on today's program at the Miners' National Wage convention was the reading of John Mitchell's annual address. The convention met promptly at 9 o'clock with 900 delegates In their seats. Mr. Mitchell received the closest attention. President Mitchell began hi address by Impressing upon the delegates the Interests committed to thir care. Of the many important events affecting the Interests and welfare of the tollers of the country he said the anthracite strike stood pre-eminent. Vital principles were at stake which. If defeated, would have given to the American labor movement a shock from which it would have required years to rally and, recover. After giving a brief history of the great strike, Including the effort of the Civic federation to settle the controversy be tween the miners and operators, the ap pointment of the Strike commission by President Roosevelt after the White Houae conferences, Mr. Mitchell continued: It would, of course, be Improper at this time for me to comment upon the Investi gation now being conducted by the an thracite strike commission more than to say that Its members are men in whose Im partially and Judgment I have full confi dence. No Fear of the Verdict. Firm In my opinion of our nbllity to dem onstrate the justice of our claims, I have no fear of the outcome. Touching the conditions in Virginia and West Virginia, President Mitchell said: The effort to, secure for the miners the same Conditions that obtained In the dis tricts covered by the interstate agreement has not met with the degree of success that has been hoped for. although a larger num ber of local unions had been eeU.olished during the last year than during any other period during the mining history of those states. The effect of the injunction was demoralising to the miners In the Fairmont region. The strike In West Virginia, though not a complete succeas, has resulted In an im provement In the conditions of employment and an Increase of 10 per cent in wages In tlie Fairmont district and on the Norfolk & Western railroad. The fact that strikes were becoming less numerous, Mr. Mitchell said, waa due to the operation of the Joint agreements. Local nnd general strikes, he said, oc curred mora often in districts where the operators refused to recognize the organi sation or treat with it. Relations Are More Cordial. Mr. Mitchell continued: With each succeeding year the relations become more cordial between th operators and miners in those districts wnere trade agreementa exist and the bond of mutual confidence and respect perceptibly In creases. That the business relationship now existing will continue to grow as time goes on Is my earnest hope and con fident expectation. Concerning the incorporation of trade unions, Mr. Mitchell submitted an opinion by Clarence 8. Darrow of Chicago, attorney for the miners before the atrlke commis sion, In which the following sentences occur: ' The demand for the . incorporation of trade unions In the last trench of those who oppose organised labor. It Is Im pudent and preaumptu6us. No friend of trade unionism even beueved In It or ad vocated It, or called for it. It Is demanded today by those Interests and those enemies who have used every mt-Sns at their com mand to oppose trade unjoainm, to counter act its effect ttnd to oppose It. How the labor organisations shall man age their own affairs Is not the business of the corporations or the employers. This new demand for the Incorporation of labor unions is not only unjust and unreasonable, but It is Impudent and insulting to the last degree. Evil Effect of Iajaaetlona. Referring to injunctions, Mr. Mitchell said: Government by injunction Is one of the must Insidious, harassing and dangerous methods resorted to by the enemies of the worklngmen to destroy labor organizations nnd to circumvent the constitutional right of trial by Jury. The whole system of government by injunctlan grows from the plstruct of the ultra-capitalists for demo cratic institutions. The reasons given for the Issuing of In junctions are always misleading and gen erally faloe. So far as these Injunctions are Issued In labor cases, they are never Issued excepting In such cases' as call for the exercise of the criminal law. Uovernment by Injunction Is not only hostile to organized labor, but It Is hostile to constitutional liberty, if the American people do not check this arbitrary power it will result In the annihilation of labor unions und then of all other forms of organizations disliked by capitalists. In closing Mr. Mitchell said: I desire to thank each official colleague, each officer and member of our union, for his assistance and support during the past year and to ask the Indulgence of our delegates in the conduct of the convention. Report of Secretary Wilson. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's re port Secretary Wilson submitted his report. Mr. Wilson dwelt al length on the many phases of the great anthracite atrlke, and, coming down to the matter of relief funds, he said that when the call for funds was issued by the special convention sum moned by the miners It waa Immediately taken up by the American Federation of Labor, the various trades unions, the other central bodies, the cities and the public at large, and the response was both liberal and prompt. The special convention had acarcely more than adjourned when we received a check from district No. 8 for $10,000. This was followed g few days later by 15,000 from district No. 13, $.10,000 from district No. 12. $S,000 from district No. 11, $1,000 from district No. 25. $1,000 from district No. 20 and $3.2:i.50 from district No. 2. The dona tion from district No. 12 was more surpris ing In its magnitude when we considered that Just a month brfore It had sent us $50,000 for the West Virginia miners, tilve All Tbey Have. The various subdlstrirts and local unions were equal also to the occasion and many of them ccntrlbuted every penny they had In their treasuries as soon as their dele gates returned from the convention and re ported. . The total amount donated by the different tranches of-our organization was $2j8. 243.94. The total amount received from the special anthracite assessment was $1,967. 126.34. making a total of $2.25.370.28 from the members of the I'nlted Mine Workers to aesist their brethren in the anthracite coal fields. To this amount must be added $419,954.14 donated by the trades unions and the public, making a grand total of $2,645,324.52. Im mediately upon the adjournment of the convention arrangements were made to take care of the needy who were on strike, without reference to whether thy were union or nonunion men. Relief committees were selected by each of the local unions, which were Instructed to furnish orders for merchandise on tbelr local grocers to any and all strikers that might need assistance. Speaking of the conditions prevailing Im mediately after the stopping of the strike, Mr. Wilson said: I'nder the circumstances It became neces sary to prepare fur any emergencies that might arise. We. therefore, directed to lunllnue the SM-ciat usseamnent of the full amount levied by the convention until No vember 1. and at one-half of the original itvy fur two weeks thereafter, and cuiiUuua to accent such donations as the public felt disposed to give u. This policy, with the reduced amount nrceassry to care for the Idle men, has placed our treasury In a heslthv condition and we have now on hand It. 02f. 120.211. v believe this amount, with the balance still due from local unions that have not as vet paid the aasessment In full, will enable us. for the present, to meet any emergency that may be thrWt upon us. Flaaaelal Condition. After touching on all the different points regarding the financial workings of the order. Mr. Wilson closes his report with a general statement of Income and expendi ture during the last year, aa follows: INCOME.

Vice President Lewis next read his an nual report. He reviewed his year's work In settling disputes and troubles and dis cussed Injunctions at length. In closing his discussion he said: When we remember that we have nearly 600,000 voters directly engaged In mining in the I'nlted States, and that they are dis tributed through the country In such pro portions that wc may determine the com position of congress, we ask In all sin cerity, whose fault it is If we do not secure remedial legislation? It Is our own. Let us burn that Into the minds and con sciences of every mine worker In thla country then we will get our rights. If we expect to secure relief, every labor ing man must act. Not by denouncing the courts, or those who Issue Injunctions, but to demand of our representatives In con gress to know where they stand with refer ence to the growing evil of "government by injunction." Let the congress of the I'nlted Slates, by law, classify cases that are subjects for th? Jurisdiction of the federal courts when issuing Injunctions affecting the rights of members of labor organizations when en gaged In a atrlke. To Rearnlate Federal Courts. Have a law enacted that federal judges can Issue Injunctions in labor disputes only on the application or approval of two or more elective judges. Fix the time within a reasonable limit when tho defendant shnll answer to an Injunction Issued against him. Compel the applicant for an Injunction affecting the rights of labor unions to sub mit reasonable proof that his allegations In rupport of the application for an injunction are truthful. Embody In that law a provision that those arrested for contempt of the restraining order in labor disputes shall have the same right to a trial as that accorded a person charged with a c riroe. A bill covering our demands should be drawn, and then Insist that It must be enacted with every vital feature embodied and that politics will positively, be thrown aKide in securing the record of every can didate for congress on this question.

Y., Jan. 20.-The appellate division of the supreme court, third de partment, today handed down a decision declaring the special franchise tax law unconstitutional.

The case will be carried by the state to the court of appeals. TOO GREAT EXPENSE. Not tho Reason. It Is not because Pyramid Pile Cure Is so expensive that many people decline to give it a trial, but because they find It too great- a tax on their credulity to be lieve that the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide; especially to these who have realized the suffering incident to piles is it Incredible that anyone who has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty years with the worst forms of protruding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of a simple remedy when their physician has assured them that the only relief is in a surgical operation. This Is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted, as it means at least a great shock to the nervous system, with more than a possibility of utter collapse and death; In the majority of cases, too, there is a return of lbs complaint, owing to the fact that the cause Is not removed. The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars, to anyone who will show a single published testimonial to be not genuine and un- j solicited; this latter feature la most gratifying, Inasmuch as these lettera are written solely out of gratitude and 'with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that re lief Is at hand at a comparatively trifling expense. Pyramid Pile Cure Is for sale by druggists at fifty cents a package or will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Mr. William Lichtenwalter. head of the largest printing house 1:; Cantcn, O., says: "It is with the utmost pleasure and satis faction that I cau say I believe I am cured of protruding and bleeding piles after buffering more than twenty-five years. I have been In bed for two weeks at a time. Lhave not suffered In the least for over a year and I used only three fifty cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. "I advise every person safferlng with this distressing and painful complaint to give this remedy a trial. I have every confidence in It." Write the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall. Mich., for their book on the causes and cur of piles. t-snaiPwtaT Usurer 1 $-,r ol . triCTON 6tt Ouu THERE are people who object to the use of any proprietary medicine on the suspicion that spirits may have been used In its manufacture. Even Peruna has not altogether escaped such criticism. ' Bnt. people who have taken Peruna. who have known of the benefits of Peruna by actual experience know how utterly unfounded such notions are concerning Poruna. When the treas urer of the National Prohibition Voters' league comes out In a public statement to the effect that words fall to express his praise for Peruna and for the manu facturers of Peruna, it must appear to every candid mind how utterly 'rratlonal It ia to suppose that any objection could be raised against Peruna from the stand point of temperance. Every great auccess Is sure to make enemies. Peruna is a great success and through Jealousy and envy much has been said calculated to prejudice the public against it. But those who have taken Peruna tnow better. The Vast multitude of people who have been cured of catarrh In come form by Peruna will never ceaso fo praise Pe runa for the benefits received. Hon. George W. McBride, ex-United States senator from Oregou, from the Dewey hotel, Washlngtony D.
