Grand Trunk Officials Say Time
for Arbitration Is Past.
Council Meeting
A meeting of the council was called (or
Thursday evening but on account of there
tint iinrr 9 nnnrnm nn htlstness wa trans
acted other than discussing one or two!
proposed ordinances. One of the proposed
ordinances is to change the name of the
streets running east and west to numbers
instead of names as at present. This
would be a great improvement. A change
in the method of street numbering was
suggested by the mayor.
It seems that tho broker who made the
recent sale of city bonds now asks a com
mission on the deal. One of the Lincoln
papers recently printed a statement that it
had cost Alliance several thousand dollars
for the sale of these. This however was a
mistake as tho commission he wants is
around five hundred dollars and expenses,
amounting in all to probably six hundred
and twenty-five dollars.
Bids for additional insurance on the
city hall were placed with the council by
several local insurance firms. Upon in
vestigation it was discovered that not all
of the companies represented locally had
paid the yearly license tax.
Friday morning an adjourned meeting
was held, there being present Councilmen
Newberry, Holslen and James, and Mayor
Harris. The ordinance offering the
electric light Company (14,821.31 for the
plant was read. In case this offer is not
accepted, as it in all probability will not
be, the city has the right to appoint one
referee, the electric company one, and
these two to choose another. These three
will then decide on the price to be paid by
the city.

The State Conventions
MOVE FOUR FREIGHT TRAINS.

0( Grand Trunk
And Map of Road.
Four political state conven
tions were held in Nebraska this
week, democratic and populist
at Grand Island, and republican
and prohibition at Lincoln. Nom
inations of candidates for state
offices were not made as former
ly, the same being left to the
primaries to be held in August.
It has been our opinion that
tho principal issue before the
people of Nebraska this year is
the securing of direct legislation
by the adoption of the initiative
and referendum for the entire
state, and
DIRECT LEGISLATION
WAS ENDORSED BY ALL
OF THE CONVENTIONS.
Gee. E. Gorton of Crawford,
whose visit to Alliance last week
is mentioned in our local columns,
is a candidate for the republican
nomination for representative in
tho state legislature from this
district. In our opinion, our re
publican freinds will not be able
to find a better man for the nom
ination than Mr. Gorton.
In Message to Minister of Labor King,

Wants protection for Men to Fight
Out Strike Will Reopen Shops
Break In Ranks.
Montreal, July 2C Tho attempts of
MncKenzle King, minister of labor, to
effect a settlement or the Grand Trunk
strike have fallen through, at least for
tho present, the Grand Trunk manage
ment taking the view that tho time for
arbitration has passed and all that the
the company requires In order to re
sume the full operation of the road Is
the protection for its men to which It
is legally entitled.
Coupled with this announcement of
the company that the time has passed
for arbitration came the statement
that today tho shops of the entire sys
tern will be reopened, that Instructions
will be issued to agents to once moro
take freight, and that way freights will
be put on and the manifest freight ser
vice Increased.
In addition, It is announced by the
officials that some of the former em
ployees who went out on Monday last
are reporting for work.
Tho claims of the Grand Trunk rail
way that matters are assuming better
shnpe was borne out by the nrrlval and
departure of four freight tralnB from

The growth of public senti

any length of time, is illustrated
by Blair, Nebr., where the prop
osition to adopt the initiative
and referendum was defeated a
few years ago. The same ques

of this year aud adopted by a
majority of 144 out of a total
vote of 890, a majority of about

the vote of the city was polled,
the adoption of the proposition
being conceded before election.
Had a full vote been cast, it is
probable that the majority would
have been not far from six to

Operators and Union Officials Seek to
End Coal Strike.
Indianapolis, July 2C. The interna
tional executive board of the United
Mine Workers of America', after a
week's deliberation, decided upon a
compromise of the present coal strike
which is1 acceptable to tbe operators
of Illinois and which will now be sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the
Illinois miners.
Not puly dp the operators grant an
Increase of; the day labor, yardage,
nnd dead work, amounting to 5.55 per
cent, and an Increase of 3 cents a ton
on mine run coal, pu they also agree
to pay 12 cents a ton extra In mines
where shotflrers are employed, this
being considered the greatest conces
sion of all.
The Illinois union officials are also
forced to make some concessions, but
these concessions deal for the most
part with the powers of the district
officials over the allied unions, such ns
the cnglneors, firemen and others, nnd
It Is declared that in the referendum
the miners, who will not be affected
in n practical way by these conces
sions, will vote for the compromise
five to one and the threatening situa
tion will be settled.

ENAMELED WARE TRUST
Government Takes Position That Their
Teachings Are Subversive of Moral
ity and From Time to Time Many
Have Been Expelled Few Germans
Arrested Are Released.
Berlin, July 23. Herr Dalwitz,
Prussian minister of the Interior, on
recommendation of the political police,
has signed orders for the expulsion of
twenty-one Mormon missionaries, most
of whom are Americans, or English
men, and they were conducted to the
frontier.
The missionaries had assembled
from various parts of Germany at the
Mormon headquarters on the east side
to meet Superintendent McKay, an
American resident in Switzerland.
They were holding a service when
an agent of the political police, who
was seated In the audience, rose and
declared the gathering dissolved. At
the moment several members of the
criminal police appeared' and virtually
took the congregation Into custody.
The women were aBked to leave the
place and tbe, men were examined as
to their nationality. Those found to
be German subjects were released,
while the others were requested to ac
company the officers to the police pres
idency. There, after further examination,
they were permitted to go to their
lodgings to await the issuance of writs
for their expulsion.
The status of the Mormons In Ger:
many was taken up in exchanges be
tween the foreign office nnd the Amer
ican embassy In 1903, when the gov
ernment took the position that the
teachings of the missionaries were
subversive of morality.
It was then arranged with tho Mor
mon superintendent, through the
American embassy that all Mormon
missionaries should leave the coun
try within a month, transferring the
middle European headquarters from
Berlin to Switzerland.
The authorities state that in recent
years the Mormons have disregarded
.the understanding of 1903 and from
time to time individual missionaries
have been apprehended and expelled.

all seemed pleased with the work of the.
teachers, with the enthusiasm of the
West and with the fact that being from
the East they bad gained new inspiration.
Chadron got the Normal, therefore Alli
ance pedpje should now show a spirit of
helpfulness towards it. Majority should
rule. Antagonism should not be engend
ered. There is no doubt in the writer's
mind but that the Normal should have
been located at Alliance, yet it wasn't
It is better for Alliance people to have it
at Chadron than Kearney or Peru, Any
body can knock. It shows bigger people
to boost. Why lock the stable when tbe
horse is gone. Why swear when you
miss the train or spill tbe milk. In tbe
terms of the base ball players "getting
sore" doesn't do any good. Helping
Chadron will boost western Nebraska, and
that is what we all want.

Shore Batteries at Fort Monroe De
stroy Imaginary Fleet.
Fort Monroe, Va., July 23. Although
death had silenced one gun and' eleven
men were killed by the terrible explo
sion in the De. Russey shore battery
here during the target firing on tbe
imaginary hostile fleet which was
passing up Hampton Roads to attack
Washington, the battle continued until
the enemy was sunk. The practice,
which was the most extensive ever at
tempted, was completed with flatter
ing success to the coast artillery corps.
Within three minutes after the first
gun had been fired the two cheese
cloth targets, 30x60 feet, representing
the vitals of battleships and towed
6,000 yards away, were a sorry sight.
One was not worth shooting at, while
the other was badly riddled. Firing
was then at an end.
The fatal result of the first attempt
to discharge No. 1 gun of the De Rus
sey battery of 12-lnch guns was not
known to the other batteries, scattered
for nearly a mile along the shore, un
til after the conclusion of the firing,
Tbe men at the other two guns of the
De Russey battery did not know that
nn accident had occurred, but they
kept on firing at the imaginary enemy.
Officers who witnessed the test say
the practice demonstrated that a fleet
attempting to pass the fort could not
have lived five minutes in such a fire
as was poured into the towed targets.
