Immigra-i t tion Association, North Platte, Nebraska. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, is centrally situated in the triangular figure bounded by lines drawn from Omaha to Cheyenne, thenco to Denver, from thence to starting poiut It is 291 miles fiom the first named city, 225 miles from the second, and 280 miles from the third Having a population of 4,000 people It is the head quarters of both freight and passenger divisions of the U. P. K'y Co., and is the home of about 500 railway employes whose monthly pay roll amounts to some $35,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation canals are rapidly noariug completion, which will bring into the highest stato of cultivation 150,000 acres of the most productive lnnd upon which the sun's rays thine. The citizenship of North Platte is that of the best afforded by the older states, and her people are activo, progressive and prosperous. To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from the crowded east North Plat to and Lincoln county presents unusual advantages. Thousand of acres of vacant government land, in close proximity to those already being brought under irrigation, may be obtained by consulting the United States land office in North Platte. A letter ot inquiry to "U. 8. UegUter, North Platte, Neb.," relative to the above will be courteously answered. Irrigated farming is no longer nn experiment, but hns reached the point where it is acknowledged as pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method of conducting agricultural and horticultural oper ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and where pulmonary troubles are unthought of, is another iuceutive to the location therein of those who aro anxious to enjoy the good things of this life as long us possible. North Platte churches and schools are above those of eastern comuiuui ties, the latter being one of the few in Nebraska permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State University without an intermediate preparatory training. Tho people of the community glad welcome the honest, industrious eastern citizen who Is eagerto better his condition and assisting in the upbuilding and development of a comparatively new country. Handwriting Upon the Wall. Pursuant to the published notice in our Tuesday's issue a large and enthusiastic number of our citizens assembled at the Courthouse in this city on that eveninr. and if the ears of the two Dromios in Lincoln who are at present misrepresent ing this district did not tingle, it is not because tliey were not 'suf ficiently talked about. The meeting opened with Mayor VonGoetz in the chair presiding. who briefly stated its object, after which T. C. Patterson was called upon to explain, at greater length, the success or rather lack of it, which the people of western Ne braska were having in their efforts to obtain a judicious irrigation lawj rhtr speaker read tlie resolutions which were afterwards adopted, in order to have something tangible upon which the meeting could work. He then narrated in detail the vacillating course pursued by Senator Akers, who desired to have charge of the irrigation measures before the legislature. According to the speaker, after the honorable gentleman had agreed to incorpor ate in his main bill a clause modi fying section 2034 of the Consoli- 1 i 1 r- 1 1 j r 1 tiatea statutes or ixeorasKa, an in nocent looking little joker which makes the grandest monopoly on earth of Nature's water supply, to the individual or corporation who own the laud along the water courses. From Mr. Patterson's presentment the whole course of Mr. Akers, in this matter, has been one ot doubledealing and deceit, and by his action and influence he lias caused Representative Harris to weaken in his well doing for the good of the people of this part of the state. C. F. Iddiugs was then called for and after briefly seconding the spirit of the resolutions, apolo gized to the audience for voting for and supporting Senator Akers for the position to which he now oc cupies, and meekly promised to never repeat the offence. Geo. E. French was next called upon, and he made the most vigor ous speech of the evening denunci atory of the iniquitousness of our representatives in changing their attitude upon this subject which is of paramount importance to west ern Nebraska. Mr. French spoke not from the standpoint of an at torney who is interested in any litigation growing out of the pres ent law, but from the attitude of a humanitarian who loves to see his fellowman prosperous, and whose own individual interests are enhanced therebv. He took the position that if the legislature would afford 110 relief to the people from this oppressive statute, the courts would boldly grapple the subject, and upon the grounds of public policy based upon the com mon law. overthrow such a law as quickly as they would a legislative enactment which would attempt to prevent one railroad company from ossing the right of wa of an other. The resolutions were then adopted with the instruction that a copy be furnished the metropolitan press, and one to each member of the on motion, authorized.to be by the name of every m present, and the same . graphed to the legislature: On motion of "Win. Woodhurst it was ordered that if our senator and representative could not see fit to follow the wishes of these people, that they be immediately requested to resign. The following are the main reso lutions adopted by the meeting, copy 01 which Has been placed in the hands of every .member of the legislature: Resolutions adopted by a mass meeting of kiii.

"Whekeas, House RoU 443, the irrigation bill now penciine ia tfce legislature ot the state ot Neuraska, does not provide for the repeal Ot Section LHJU. fVihhfr fVHiHoliflated statutes, known as the St. Rarner law, which reads as follows: "No tract Of land gfeallht-erOKKed hv more than one aitch, canal or lateral, without the written consent ana agreement ot the owner thereol. it the nrst mtch, canal or lateral can ue made to ansver the purpose for which the second ditch, canal or lateral is desireil or intended." Whekkas. This law tends to the buildinp up ot a monopoly of water, the most oppres sive or all monopolies, bv putting it in the power ot tne great corporations, who now own strips ot land on the water fronts of our streams in western Nebraska from ten to twenty miles tn length, or are the owners of canals paralelling the streams, to prevent the small land owner or farmer who is back trom the stream from access to the source of supply; Kesoived. That the course of Senator Akers aad Kepresentative Harris in refusing to ni'iai "u me icpciu or mouincaiion 01 tnis bad law, meets with our condemnation, and that in pursuing such a course they are striking tne most fatal blow possible to the 11 n.iiiuii iiiieresis 01 western iMeorasna.

Said resolutions were, The bill for the submission of a constitutional amendment requir ing an eductional qualification for voters did not prove popular in the egislature and has been knocked out. This does not necessarily smother the sentiment in many parts of the state that such a law would be a good one, and there are those who believe the time is not far distant when a voter will be re quired to be able to read his ballot ere he can cast it. In this day of enlightment there is no excuse, generally speaking, for a man be ing unable to read his ballot. BANDITS GOT Al VATCB SATE FIXED TOR AnjOUKXr.tEXT THEY TERRIFIED EVERY0N1 Two Masked Men Took Complete Posses sion of the Train, bnt Hcd In Fear Be fore Tuey Got Any of the E.i press Matter. Poplak Bluff, Mo., March 2S. Train No. 54, which left here at 10 So p. in., was held up at Williamsville, a 6tation20 miles north, at 11:30. The train was in charge of Conductor James V. Webb and was pulled by Engineer Mattia As the train neared a lonely spot a short distance north of Williams ville some one pulled tho bell rope, and the train came to a halt. Two men, one of whom had a red handkerchief over his face and the other a mask of some black material, forced the porter at the point of a revolver to uncouple tho en gine, mail and express cars from the train and compelled the engineer to run a short distance up the track with them. The robbers theu proceeded to tho ex press car and ordered tho messenger to open the safe. "We aro desperate, you d ," said the leader, a tall man about 0 feet in height. The messenger informed tho desperadoes that he could not open tho through safe, as ho did not have the combination. He opened the lock safe, but there was no mouoy in it. In the meantime the alarm had been given and the citizens were arming themselves. Tho robbers, becoming frightened, jumped from the train and ran through the woods. Before leaving, however, they secured Conductor Webb's gold watch. It is thought that the work was done by local toughs. The sheriff is scouring the country for the robbers, and they will probably be captured. The train is known as the California express, and is due in St. Louis at 6 a. m. It consists of a baggage, mail and express cars, one coach and three sleep ers. The point at which tho attempt was made is known as Houck road crossing, and the mail and express cars were run to the woods of the Black river bottoms. Robbers Took Complete Possesion. St. Louis, March 28. The California express on the Iron Mountain, which was held up by two masked robbers ono mile this side of Williamsville, reached here several hours late. According to the trainmen the hold-up was one of the most daring that has occurred since the time of tho Jesse James gang. The two men took conipleto possession of the train and held its crew and the pas sengers at their mercy. Taylor Hrother.t on Trial. CXbkollton, Mo.. .March 2S. The trial of the Taylor brothers was resumed this morning, the testimony beiug sim ilar to that of yesterday, excepting tils' t of Mrs Carter, who-related the circum stances when little Nellie Meek canto to her house the morning the murder was discovered. Little Nellie was covered with blood and informed them that her sister was dead in the strawstack, and when George Taylor was informed of this, tlpngh he was harrowing in the held, ho never went to see abouc it, but. immediately left tho country Sullivan Will do Into Training. Boston", March 28. John L. Sullivan is now able to be out and announces to his friouds he has resolved to go into training at once to meet either O'Don- nell or Kilrain. Sullivan prefers meet ing O'Donuell, for the reason that Cor- bett has stated that O Donnell can beat any man in the world, barring himself (Corbett). As for Kilrain, Sullivan says it would be easier to defeat him than before. The ex-champion has almost, fullv recovered from the effects of his illness and looks better than for months. Gaiin of Forcers Uncarthod. San Francisco, March 28. The fed eral officials here have unearthed a gang of forgers organized to flood tho country with bogus Chinese registration papers. The gang secured forged certific ttes. which defy almost the inspection of tho 1 1 ft i 1 rt? 11 1 T a. united Dtaies onicers uiembuives. its members have included Chinese as well as white men in the scheme and have already secured a contract to supply 15, 000 of these bogus certificates of resi deuce. Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, told the Boston report ers the other day that he was not certain that there would be a demo cratic party in this country for a leader next year. "If the supreme court decides that the income tax is constitutional," said Mr. Eana. "there will be no democratic party. It will totally collapse. It will have no mission to perform." Mr. Dana seems to have forgotten the late Emory A. Storrs' definition of the democratic party as "an organized appetite." What other mission has it had in the last thirty years? Delaware Senatorial Fight. Dovek, March 28 The Higgins peo ple sprang a new candidate today in Charles F.

Nebraska Legislature Has One aiore Week to Run. Lincoln, March L'v The senate took one more step toward the day of final adjournment by taking up in committee of tho whole Wednesday tho first of the three big appropriation bills already passed by tho hous?. Tho bill was one providing for the payment of tho salar ies of the state officers, deputies and as sistants, of superintendents of state in stitutions, their officers and employes. The house had mado a numbar of reduc tions in the salaries paid to many clerks and employes during tho past fonr years. In nearly every case the senate restored these salaries to their present proportions. The largo items added were to pay salaries of officers created by the present legislature. These items included a salary of $1,200 per annum for a clerk for the board of public lands and build ings, $2,000 for tho secretary of the state board of irrigation, $1,200 for au as sistant secretary, and $830 each for twe under secretaries. The senate's increase over tho amouut appropriated by the house will amount to from $10,CC0 tc $15,000. The house completed its work on the constitutional amendments and passed the remainder of them by votes of GC majority and upwards. They were in the shape of senate files which had passed that body, and they are now in tho hands of the governor. Tho joint committee on final adjourn ment met and decided to recommend that the legislature adjourn sine die at 12 o'clock noon on Friday, April 3. iflV W1LLPR0TECT WALLER Sfate Department Likely to Take Up the Ex-Consul's Case.

Two western senators, Dnbois of Idaho and Pettigrew of Sonth Dakota, were at the Fifth Avenue hotel. They talked about presi dential candidates. "In the west," said Senator Dubois "tho people will noc support any man for the presidency who does not favor silver. Wo will not form a third party, but we can manage tc throw the election in tho house by re fusing to vote for tho candidate iti the electoral college. Western people will support the candidate who favors the free coinage of silver, whether he is a Democrat or Republican. The west is almost unanimously . in favor of the nomination of Senator Don Cameron ol Pennsylvania." Senator Pettigrcw said that the Re publican sentiment of his stato was not for Don Cameron for tho presidency. "If, however, ho should be nominated5 ho added, "we would support him heartily. He is for the free coinage oi silver, and we desire a candidate of that kind." Chri Von Uer Alio Under KouiN. St. Loris, March 2S.

Ex-Presi dent Harrison returned to Richmond tc re-enter the Morrison will cas; He wa. forced to step out of the case threo weeks ago on an attack of acute bron chitis. He has fullv recovered. Washington, March 28. It was said at the White House Wednesday after noon that the telegram Iroin Governor Morrill of Kansas urging the president to take active measures at ouco for the protection and roleaso of ox-United States Consul Waller, reported to have been unjustly imprisoned by the French government in Madagascar, under tho sentence of a conrtinartial had not yet been received by the president. Tho state department has uo confirmation of the report from United States Consul Wetter at Tamatave, nor from Mr. Campbell, our consul at Mauritius, which is the nearest cable point to Madagascar. It is probable tho gov ernor's message may cause the stato de partment to cable to ono of theso con suls for an account of the affair instead of waiting until a report comes to hand through tho mails from this remote point. It Is thought what might Ui sufficient in an ordinary case, would hardly meet the requirements of a case involving the imprisonment of an Amer ican citizen. Governor Morrill's course in address ing himself directly to the president in such a matter is said to be unusual, but may perhaps be based upon the preced ents set by the state departmout in call ing upon the governor of Louisiana and tho governor of Colorado recently to protect citizens of foreign countries within their respective state. There seems to be au impression based upon letters alleged to have been written by Mr. Waller to friends in this country as well as to the state department denounc ing his American citizenship, that he lias lost, his American citizenship. No such letters havo been received at the state department aud if there was any such communication in a private letter it is said that it would carry little weight. Mr. Waller has the reputation hero of being a keen, alert business man. He was an excellent consular officer and it is inconceivable to the department offi cials that he would surrender voluntari ly his American citizenship. Will Submit Kins Kcar's Proposal.
