SI RIKE CONTINUES 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.

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, Management Sayo Company Only 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 Toronto. EXPELS MORMONS Twenty-one Missionaries Con ducted to Frontier. t fB9RV!! 'Ra i.nRflRK jj&Rw MOST OF THEM AMERICANS, SWOPE SPECIALIST DIES RIOTING AT SOUTH BEND First and MIO-24 UMHKt BCMYI The growth of public senti ment in favor of direct legisla tion, when the issue is discussed 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 tion was voted ori again in April of this year aud adopted by a majority of 144 out of a total vote of 890, a majority of about three to one. Only about half 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 one. Freight Train Is Halted Cars Are Fired. South Bend, Ind., July 26.

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. FIRING ENDS AT FT. MONROE 4 Junior Normal Notes h I L Prin. and Mrs, Moeller of the HemioR fotd schools were pleasant visitors at the Normal last week. Three girls, Misses Converse, Haona and Pittis, have cootracted to teach nine months schools at $55 00 a month. Mrs. Zehner of Texan, one of the National organizers of the W, C. T. U., gave a talk to the teachers last Monday. Miss Taylor played at chapel Tuesdav, some of the best music it had ever been their pleasure to hear. She was loudly encored. Messrs Gardner, Wilson, Pate, Philpott and Miss Frazier oi the faculty own west ern land. 1 hiv shos how tbey ftel towards western NebrasVa. The Normal quartette, Misses Burris and Nation and Messrs Thomas, rendered some bt-autitul quartette selections last week and later Miss Burris and Ralph Thomas sang for the teachers Prof. Philpott gave a very interesting talk to tbe teachers the first oi tbe week on the subject of state electricity Mr Philpott has a host of admiring friends among the students and faculty. Miss Celia Chase recently gave a lecture on literature, which showed much clear cut thinking and originality Miss Chase is a graduate of tbe University of Chicago and has specialized in this subject. Examinations are on Wednesday and Thursday. This year the instructors must mark onlv tbe papers of those de siring Junior Normal credits only. This makes it much easier for the instructors. Prin. Pate spoke very eocouraging words 19 the teachers and thanked the in structor's for the loyalty they bad shown to him, especially since be bad touched lbows with them previously as an instructor. Men Rev. Ira Nolteof the Methodist church has attended Normal since the beginning and will take a few examinations to raise some gradrs on a teacher's certificate, although he will not teacb except in emergencies There are six Rirl graduates this year The exercises will be given at the Phelan opera house Thursday night.

All were pleased to think they htd been con nected with the Alliance Junior Normal, 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.
