lRAXi BARE, Editok and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION BATES. One Year, cash In advance, 11.25, Six Months, cash in advance 75 Cents Entered 8ttheNorthPlatte(Kebraska)postofficeas second-claEsmatter. FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1897. The farmers ot Nebraska will re ceive nearly three million dollars more for their wheat this year than they did last. This is an item worth mentioning in connection with the fact that we have a repub lican president. Dow in Kansas, says an ex change, when a brakeman finds he has half a dozen tramps in a box car, he quietlv locks the door unti he jrets to a wheat field, and has no trouble to sell the lot for ?1 per head They are paying- big wages in Kan sas harvest fields. Investigation has proven that the hydro-headed devil of a Mark Hanna" has been paying- five per cent more wasres to his miners than any other mine owner in the Pan handle district. But thepopulists will insist that Hanna should pay ten per cent more. The United States pays three hundred million dollars annually to foreign ship owners for the carriage of freight and passengers. In other words every man, woman and child in this country contributes 4.50 per year indirectly to the foreign ship owners. Great Britain has a grip on the ocean freight business, and it is stated that during 1896 the ad dition to her merchant marine was greater than in any previous year. Omaha, we are glad to say, is en joying more than the ordinary de cree of revived prosperity, but Omaha is not the only pebble on the beach. Pick up any of the .popocratic press and it always makes an exception ot the particular place in which it is published. The Denver papers say Denver is the one great exception to the reign of despond, the St. Louis popocratic press insists that St. Louis mater ial progress is unique, the Chicago silver lournals hold Llncago up as leading the procession, and so on all along the line. The trouble with the calamity editor is that he cannot see beyond his nose and im agines that everything he cannot see must be calamity Bee. Our demo-popocratic friends point with considerable glee to the great miner's strike in the east, and ask, with a show of much sar casm, if it is evidence of "McKiiilev prosperity." No, dear friends, it is not. It is, however, one of the many evidences of the ruin wrought by four years of democratic adminis tration. Under former republican administration the miners ot Pennsylvania, of Ohio, of West Virginia and other coal producing states were not working at the present starvation prices. In all the great coal fields of the east the miners prior to 1893 were receiving from twenty to thirty cents per ton more than at present. Now, for fear some of our good demo-popocratic friends may dis pute this assertion, we submit the following paragraph from a letter written by President Patch ford, of the United Mine Workers' Associa tion to the New York Herald under date of July 3d. The statement made by Mr. Ratchford is as fol lows: "A miner's wages in the Western Pennsylvania field ranges from 54 to 47 cents per ton in thin veined districts, and from 30 to 28 cents a ton in the thick-veined. In 1893 the mining rate in- thin vein was 79 cents, and thick vein 65 0 cents per ton. During the same year the rates in Ohio and Indiana were 70 and 75 cents respectively; now it is al cents with a reduction I . M. " - a i proposed in vino io cent per ton. This ratio holds good in a general way all along the line. Illinois, a portion of Iowa, Eastern and Cen tral Pennsylvania, and the Vir ginias, are all equally effected." o -O- We hear a pretty good story il lustrative of of a phrase of "busi ness" that has been altogether too common in some parts ot the coun try. A dealer had Been shipping eggs to a commission merchant east, but he thought he had not been treated fairly, and so he set his wits working to evolve a scheme where by he could sit down on the "hogs." He shipped some eggs and followed the shipment in to the house, fol lowing it close enough to get there at the same time. They didn't know him. He wanted to buy a lot of eggs, and he did buy, getting his "own shipment along with others. He went home and in a few days received their statement of the sale of his eggs at 9 cents a dozen. He had paid 12. He con fronted them with a of this steal of 25 per cent of the sale, and they were anxious at once to correct the "mistake!" Columbus Journal. STEIKERS'-STETJ GG-LE PRESIDENT DE ARMITT MAKES PROPOSITION TO THE MINERS. Agrees to Sign Contract Providing: For a Condition of True Uniformity In Pitts burg District If Ninety-Five Per Cent ot Operators Will Sign. Pittsburg, July 15. The prospect for a settlement of the great miners' strike is brighter than at any time since the struggle began and both sides are al most ready to count on a resumption of work in the near future; Thecheering announcement was made last night that W. P. DeArmitt, presi dent of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company, whose 1,200 men have been constantly at work and with out whose assistance the success of the movement would have been jeopardized, has agreed to join with the other oper ators in a plan for the settlement of the strike on a true uniformity basis. This result has been brought about through efforts of the members of the joint committee, who have been working as siduously to this end since meeting President DeArmitr, and submitted their plan, to which he agreed. Then the commission met the miners officials and the proposition also received their approval. Under the terms of the agreement Mr. DeArmitt consents to sign a con tract which will bring about a condi tion of true uniformity in the Pittsburg district according to the plan formulated 1$ months ago, but which failed. Tho contract provides that there shall bo no company stores, honest weight, fair screens and the removal of other evils long complained of by the miners. He will sign such a contract provided that i)o per cent of tho operators in the Pitts burg district become parties to it. In agreeing to the terms the miuers offic ials promised to use their influence to obtain the signatures of the operators to the contract. They stipulated, how ever, that the proposed contract should have no immediate effect in calling off the present general suspension. General Little of the Ohio board of arbitration said that if the plan is car ried out it will not only affect Ohio, In diana and Illinois, but will be a barrie: against recurring troubles in the Pitts burg district. The miners' officials admitted that even though they had won tho present strike without arbitration, the victory would have been only temporary, as the absence of a contract such as lias been agreed upon would have left the door open for new grievances that were bound to manifest themselves under the present mining laws and the new ones awaiting the signature of the governor, The prospect of a settlement of the mining trouble was received with a sense of great relief on all sides, and tho result of the efforts of the joint com mission to secure the names of the necessary 95 per cent of the operators to the agreement will bo awaited with general interest. The miners' officials claim the Canonsburg mines in tho Panhaudle district, which has bceu in operation siuco tho strike began, wcro shut down yesterday on account of the men joining the ranks of the strikers. This makes the suspension in the Pan handle district absolute. Coal sold yesterday at $l.f0 per ton for mixed and $1.30 for run of mine. No disturbances of any kind occurred during the day and quiet reigns in all parts of the district. DEATH LIST REACHES TWENTY. Hot Wave Is Broken by Thunderstorms In Western States. Chicago, July 11.

Creede, the millionaire mine owner, after whom the town of Creede, Colo., is named, committed suicide with mor phine last evening at his homo in this city because his wife, from whom he had separated, insisted upon renewing their marital relations. On Jan. 4 last Creede and his wife separated. Mrs. Creede accepted $20,000 cash and sur rendered all further claims npon her husband, at the same time voluntarily withdrawing from his premises. It was understood after the necessary time had elapsed, Creede would institute legal proceedings and begin suit for ab- X. c. creede. solute divorce. At that time it ap peared that both husband and wife were well satisfied that they were not re quired to maintain intimate relations, and while Mrs. Creede considered that the amount of cash settled npon her was insignificant, as compared with her husband's wealth, she left him aud took up her home in Alabama. About three weeks ago she returned to Los Angeles and proposed to her husband a reconciliation. This was much to Creede's distaste, and being unsuccess ful in avoiding his wife, he took bis life with morphine. Mrs. Creede, on being notified of her husband's death, declined to discuss the tragedy. CONSIDER WESTERN AFFAIRS. Transmississippi Congress Begins Session at Salt Lake City.

WIDE plFFERENCE;.BET.WEEN .FEREES ON THE BILL. CON- Flnal Agreement Was Not Reached on . Either Price to Be Paid for Armor Plate for New Battleships Was the Themo for a Uvely Debate luthc Senate, "Washington, Jhlyl5. The conferees on the tariff hill found themselves today apparently farther apart than they vr ere at the beginning of the conference. There was no immediate prospect of an agreement, and more than one member stated that the entanglement was such that the settlement might be indefinite' ly prolonged. Washington, July 14. The repre sentatives of the two houses of congress in the conference on the tariff bill spent a busy day Tuesday devoted for the most pare to work in the conference room. It is known that almost the en tire day was devoted to the sugar and wool schedules and the best information obtainable was that a final agreement was not reached on either. Senator Piatt of New York, who has been ab sent most of the time since the bill went into conference returned and was in close conference much of the day with Senator Quay. At one time during the afternoon the senate and house con- - ferrees separated, the house men re pairing to the ways and means commit tee room. It was generally believed that this notion on the part of the house men was for the purpose of deciding on a line of policy on sugar, but they de clined to give out any information. jld is oeiievea tne wool schedule can now be settled whenever other matters have reached a stage for final adjust ment. The senate conferrees are ready to compromise the differences on the first and second class wools by making them both dutiable at 11 cents, and a compromise on third class wools has been suggested by the house members of the conference, concerning which they express the hope that it will be satis factory to both the wool growers and the carpet manufacturers. This is not assured. The compromise proposition looks to fixing a rate of 3 cents a pound on all wool of a value less than 10 cents a pound, of 5 cents at more than 10 and less than 13 cents a pound, and of 8 cents on that abovo 13 cents a pound in value. This proposition was submitted to the representative in the senate of both the wool growers and the carpet manufacturers, and both sides took the matter under advisement. LIVELY DEBATE IN THE SENATE. Price to Uo Pnid for Armor ate Was tho Theme Under Discussion. Washington, July 14. The price to be paid for armor plate for the three new battleships now in course of con struction, was the theme of extended and at times lively debate in the senate Tuesday. Late in the day amendment to the deficiency appropria tion bill was agreed to restricting the price of armor plate to $300 per ton, or $125 less than the amendment reported by the committee and recommended by the navy department as the minimum rate acceptablo to the armor contractors. Allen (Neb.) criticised tho general police of expanding tho navy, compar ing the cumbersome battleship with the effective monitors. Tho building of these huge ships was a scheme, he as serted, to spend the public money and to place advantageous contracts. With it was tho scheme for enlarging the army and building more forts. Com menting on the uso of the army at the Chicago strike, Mr. Allen asserted: "When Grover Cleveland sent the army into Chicago ho committed the crime of treason against the United States." After inserting the armor amend ments in the deficiency bill, the last of the great supply measures was passed. M'KINLEY WAITING ON CONGRESS. President's Currency Cpminnnicatlon Is Sure to Coine. Washington, July 14. Becauss somo of the details of the order were not com plete, Secretary Bliss was unable to lay before the cabinot at today's meeting his proposition to revoke the order made by President Cleveland closing some of the pension agencies. There was a good deal of talk over appointments, and as a result tho sending of a big list of con sular nominations to the senate was de layed in order that a few names might be added. The currency commission message did not cause any discussion, because it is now understood that the president is settled in his determina tion to send it to congress, and only awaits notice from the party leaders aB to the time when this can be done with out interfering with the program ar ranged for the disposition of the tariff bill. SENATE PAYS TRIBUTE TO HARRIS. Chaplain Johnson Delivers the Invoca tion Uody Is Home to Funeral Train. Washington, July 11. Impressive funeral services over the late Isham G. Harris occurred in tho senate chamber at noon today in the presence of Presi dent McKinley and the members of his cabinet, senators and members of the house of representatives, members of the diplomatic corps and officials from all branches of public life. The cham ber had been elaborately draped for the occasion. Discuss Union 1'aciflc Affitips, Washington, July 15. The senate was in a deadlock for several hours Wednesday with business at a stand still, while calls of the senate, roll calls and other parliamentary expedients were resorted to. It . was due to tho effort to secure action on the resolution of Harris (Kan.) destined to prevent tho disposal of tho government lien on the Union Pacific railway under tho terms of an alleged agreement. There were many roll calls oh Mr. Harris' motion to consider the resolution, quorums appearing and disappearing and from 12 to o o'clock no final vote on the motion was secured. It finally went over.

MINING CONVENTION ADJOURNS. talt Lake City Chosen aa Meeting Place For the Geld Miners In 1808. Dentzr, July 11. The first business f the last day's session of the interna Jonal Gold Mining convention was the selection of a place for holding the next tonvontinn in lbOS. J. O. liuckley of "Wisconsin with drew Milwaukee from the contest. Af ter tho call of states had been finished and before the vote was announced, Mr. Montgomery of Nebraska withdrew Omaha and moved that Salt Lake be declared the unanimous choice of the convention. Tho motion was carried. The chairman appointed the follow- ing committee to take the necessary steps toward securing the passage of a constitutional amendment establishing a cabinet department to bo known as the department of mines and mining: Lafe Pence, Colorado; M. D. Herring, Texas; J. R. Hedges, Pennsylvania; "W. H. Bechel, Nebraska; E. V. Smalley, Montana. The committee on resolutions sub mitted their report. It was considered section by section, each speaker being limited to five minutes. The section memorializing congress to throw open all mineral lands on Spanish land grants in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado to location as mining claims was adopted. The resolution asmng congress to throw open tho asphalt and gilsonite lands on the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in Utah to mineral location was adversely acted upon N. E. Guyot, a member of the resolu tions committee from New Mexico of fered a minority report, declaring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. The adoption of the report was seconded by another Now Mexico delegate. Instantly half a dozen delegates were on the floor, declaring the report out of order. The point made against it was that the rules eliminated all political questions from discussion. President Prince held that the point of order was not well taken. Then on motion of ex- Congressman Dorsey of Nebraska, the minority report was laid on the table, Chairman Prince of New Mexico, at the opening of the afternoon session, intro duced a resolution inviting all mineral producing states and territories to make exhibits of their mineral resources at tho Transmississimn exposition to be held in Omaha next year. The rules were suspended and the motion was- adopted. TWO LARGE RESERVOIRS BURST. "Water Sweeps Through Duchess Valley Causing Kuin and Death. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 15.

The am bassadors of tho powers having been re instructed by their respective govern ments about the dispatch of another note to the Turkish government, reiter ating their demands for an explicit re ply on tho Gneco-Turkish frontier ques tion, it is thought probable that they may recommend, tneir governments to recall thorn and organize a naval dem onstratiou, pointing out the futility of sending notes, which fail to impress the porte. urging that a demonstration is necessary to compel Turkey to yield, and holding that otherwise progress to wards the conclusion of peace is not to be expected. Tho Turkish Dardanelles squadron has been ordered to make ready to proceed to the island of Crete and to take on board provisions for three mouths. Tho irade also orders all the officers of that squadron to rejoin their ships within three days. 3Jrs. Nack and Martin Thorn Arraigned. New York, July 13- Mrs. Augusta Nack and Martin Thorn, tho alleged murderers of Guldensuppo, were ar raigned in general sessions. The pris oners seemed to pe tuny alive to tne gravity of their situation, and for the first time sinco their arrest lines of care were visible on thlir features. Their attorneys entered demurrers to tho in dictment, contesting the jurisdiction on the ground that the crime was done be yond the limits of New York county. During the statement of counsel the two prisoners exchanged no looks of recog nition nor did they speak to each other. The demurrer will be argued Wednes day, July 21. The Morrill Fund.

Business Men Estimate There TVas That Amount Left In San Francisco by the Visitors Rivalries Hetvrcen Two Chi cago SocIetleB Culminate In Agitation. San FitANCisco, July 15. "The Inter national Christian Endeavor convention of 1897 will pass, into history as in some, respects the greatest and most memora ble of all its 15 predecessors. An at tendance of more than 40,000. a regis tration of over 20,000 actual Christian Endeavorers is equal to an attendance of 80,000 in any large eastern city 'when we remember that half of the attend ants cross tho Rocky mountains to reach the convention. Eut better far than the numbers and more worthy of note was the spirit of the convention; its earnestness, its genuine ring, its high spiritual qualities. It brought a blessing to California, it will leave a blessing behind it and all the delegates will take a blessing home with them as they scatter to the remotest parts of the world." Tho abovo message was written for the Associated Press by the founder and leader of tho Christian Eudeavor move ment, Rev. Francis E. Clarke, concisely summarizing tho work of tho conven tion. San Francisco, July 13. The last open session of the International Chris tian Endeavor was held Monday. The attendance at the morning and after noon meeting was large, and at night those who managed to obtain entrance to either of the main meeting places were fortunate, for only 25,000 could be accommodated and 0,000 more sought admission. Estimates made by leading business men agree that the people brought here by this great gathering will leave not less than $1,000,000 in our city. All tho leaders of the move ment are pleased with the success of their efforts aud with the outlook for the future of the society. The rivalries which has existed be tween two societies of Chicago En deavorers since the incipiencyof the California excursion has culminated in open agitation. One faction was headed by the Rev. O. S. Bullock, editor of the Christian Endeavorer, the other by E. A. Ransom, who represented the Golden Rule followers. En route to San Fran cisco the Chicagans split at Denver on the Sunday traveling question, the Bul lock party arriving at Salt Lako City on Saturday evening and the Ransom party on Sunday evening. At this point the banners, "Illinois Endeavorers" hung from the Bullock coaches were taken by the Ransom people with the plea that the former did not officially represent the Hlinois delegation.
