Railroad Rates to Annual Meeting The various railroad lines in braska have granted us a one and one third rate for the delegates attending the meeting at Grand Island on the certificate plan. Take a receipt from local agent showing one full fare paid and such receipt signed by the state secretary will entitle you to one-third on return trip. Where you have to travel over more than one road, take a separate receipt for each line used. The annual meeting will be held in Bartenbachs' cpera house, which wfll accommodate about 1,000 delegates. No one need stay away fearing that the hall will be too small to hold our dele gates. You will all be well taken care of. The hotels are making special arrangements to accommodate a large number. Be sure and come. Presi dent Powers and State Secretary will be found at Palmer House, Room 19. TTon. H. L. Loucks president of the N. F. A. I. . U. has been invited to at tend the annual meeting. We have not heard from him but expect bim,, to, address a public meeting on Tuesday evening, December 20th. luii AVhat Have "You" Gained? The Examiner of Hartford, Conn., asks the wage slaves who voted the old party ticket the following troublesome questions: "At this writing it is assured that Cleveland has won in the recent elec tion. What has he won? The honor of being elected president of the Unit ed States for the second time, and a $200,000 salary with house rent free and other findings. Dear reader you who may be an employe of some corporation working for one, two or three dollars a day please say how much your gain, present or prospective, foots up. Yes, your 'party' has won many of its mem borship have won places of ease and emolument but you, oh poor wage slave! what is the measure of your winnings? You have cat your vote this time where it 'counted,' to be sure, but ah. good friend, what does it count for? That's the rub! Does in not count for you a continuance of your industrial serfdom a life of toil and ever present suspense for the morrow, with not enough at thelayingdown of the weary burden to secure the shroud that covers you?" Dawes County Alliance Is called to meet in Chadron, Decem ber 15th, at 10 o'clock sharp. Full delegations from every alliance in the county is earnestly solicited. State Lecturer Fairchlld is expected to ad dress the meeting in the afternoon. E. M. COOL, President. Personal. Mr. O. Hull formerly lecturer of the State Alliance and president of the Alliance Publishing Company, has sold his farm in Lancaster county. His many Nebraska friends will be pleased to know that he will not remoye from the state, nor will he sever his connec tion with tho Farmers' Alliance. Mr. Hull has bought a farm near Alma, Harlan county, and our best wishes go with him, as he begins anew the work of home building in western Nebraska. His address will hereafter be Alma, Harlan county. Of all the good men who failed to pull through on election day there is r . i . 4Vn none whose aeieax we regret muic mou our nld friend Dech of the Fourth Con gressional District of Nebraska. Sen tinel Chicago. V , , One Alliance Man's Views. ROCKVILLE, Neb., Nov. 25, 1892. Editor Alliance Department: As you like to hear from the alliance I will write a little and send it with mv report. Our alliance is in good run ning order, and we meet every two weeks, nearly always havinjr good at tendance. We keep up tne interest in our alliance by discussing the mo3t im Dortant Questions that are confronting the American people today. We find it is better to keep in the middle of the road while in sesoion. We find that if other business is brought up in the alli ance that don't pertain strictly to tne alliance the peopio get tired. I have heard it remarked. O, yes the alliance is a good thing, the farmers can get toe-ether and Dlan how - to Increase the nroduction of their farms. How stupid. Brother larmers so into you respective alliances with the determination to help overthrow the tables of the money changers, and kick every tariff tinker out of the halls of congress. Major McKinley included. It is hieh time the maf-se should have some protection as well as the classes, and you can help bv keeping up the interest in your alliance, W need the alliance to put men in otlice and to instruct them while in office in regaiu V the work we would have them do for us. and it cannot be cone in any other way. Fraternally- K. W. KlDDLKSON Hear for Baggage. Hastings. Neb.. Dec. 7. Mes senger Abel and Baggageman Kirk- muu came in over the B. & M. yester day morning on No. 2, leoking as 11 they had experienced more than tney could boar. In other words they had been the victims of an innocent flirta tion with a Dago bear of the Cinna mon species. The beat held down one corner of the baggage car at first chained just in his allotted corner. The boys did business lor tne corpora tion all right until the chain broke. Then they commenced to apply them selves to the top of the pile of trunks in the baggago car. Kirkraan thought it was Oliver Curtis Perry and with the aid of a shotgun was about to declare void the heart articles of incorpora tion. He was finally captured and again chained up. The boys are over joyed at their.hairbreadth escape. An Old Settler. Table Rock. Neb.. Dec. 7. An drew Fellers, aged 65, one of our ear liest settlers, died yesterday after a lingering illness of several weeks, due to a complication of diseases. Ho set tled on his fine farm, which now com prises about 1,000 acres, in 1858. He removed to this village in the spring of 1886. He has been twice elected county commissioner and has been a prominent buiness man for years, and was a large cattle feeder. He was one of the pillars of the Presbyterian church, and his funeral occurs here to day, lie leaves a widow and five chil dren. "Do Live After Them." ' Hastings, Neb., Dec. 7. Quite an important case came up before Judge Burton yesterday. It is in an action whereby the Adams County bank seeks to recover 8,000 on a promissory note from the estate of John Motlay, de ceased. The note was originally given by the deceased to his son, who after ward sold it to William Kerr, and it was by him assigned to the plaintiff. Judge Burton held that the claim was good against the estate unless fraud or incompetency could be shown in the making of the note. The oase will be appealed. Hit Her With an Ax. Ponca, Neb., Deo. 7. A serious ac cident befell one of Mr. . Harrison's children last evening. Two of the children, a boy and girl, were playing in the yard and in some way, whether in anger or by accident is unknown, the boy struck the girl with an ax, in flicting a long, deap cut in her leg just Wow the knee. Dr. Devore, who dressed the wound says that although it is a severe wound, he thinks she will get along all right Margaret Blather Very 111. Omaha, Deo. 7. Margaret Mather is a sick woman and is confined to her room at the Dellone unable to fill her short season decided upon before the final disbanding of her company. The company was billed to play in Council Bluffs last evening, but so ill was the star that her physician refused to per mit her appearance and the company was given notice that the season was therefore at an end. New Officers. Holdrege, Neb., Dec. 7. Cyrene chapter No. 42, R. A. M., met to night and elected officers for the ensu ing year as follows: G. W. Updike, king; S. E. McNaul. scribe; Max Uh- lig, treasurer; L. Weber, secretary. The reports show the order in fine shape financially, and plenty of work to do. With the present corps of off! cers the outlook for the coming year is flattering. Surveyor Baldwin Impeached. Grand Island, Dec. 7. The coun ty board of supervisors is In session and is examining witnesses in the im peachment trial of County Surveyor Baldwin. The principal charge is that he willfully and deliberately changed a government corner. A de cision will probably be reached today. Western Government Building, Washington, Dec. 7. The annual estimates prepared by the treasury de partment and sent to congress today provide appropriations for public build ings as follows: Omaha, Neb., to con tinue, 1200,000; Sioux City, la., to complete, (85.000; Sioux Falls, S. D., to complete, $350,000. Oklahoma and Kansas are both after Wyatt, the Dalton gang desperado captured at Terre Haute, Ind., but the chances favor Kansas. Owing to a row between the mayor and the chief of police of Pittsburg the order closing all houses of ill repute has been revoked. SHYLOCK TO THE FRONT (Continued from 1st page.) each government. You may be curious to know who our commissioner is. i will tell you. I know his record in monetary matters. He is a pupil of John J. Knox and John Sherman and was a successor to J. J. Knox when tnat man became president oi inn xirew National bank of New ork City, bub- sequently our commissioner became president of theCnase jNauonai Dan himself and continued In his study of monometallism. He has been in the habit of watching the European market and doing the bidding of the Roth schilds. Let me read the report of this man when he was comptroller of the currency. After endorsing what had been previously said by his predecessor ho goes on to say: 'It seems doubtful whtther this government should not hesitate fo issue silver certificates even on the bullion value.' He favored the di-contlnuance of the coinage of silver, and declarel that silver coinage was in excess of the demand of the country and should be discontinued. He aiso nronounced that he was in favor of re- Dealing the Bland act. He recommend ed this repeal. President Harrison em bodied this rerjort in his message. It is true that the iieaa oi tne iwjtns- . . m . n.i.1 rhild's has made a suggestion concern ing this international conference, cut nil men know that suggestion comes from the head of the spirit, and the fountain source of monometallism. To Irppn the cold as the standard of value, the basis for all the other money, is the suggettion of the Rothschilds." WHAT ROTHSCHILD FEARS. Another dispatch from Brrssels con tains the following significant language "Alfred De Rothschild and the other British delegates are convinced that the monetary question has reached an acute stage, and that unless a general remedy is found there will be a crisis which will be so intense in America and India that these countries, in order to es cape disaster, will be compelled to resort to measures dictated solely bu selfish inierests- nrnduee extremely serious dis turbances in the monetary and economical equilibrium of the world. SOME OPINIONS. The d .snatches of tke 28th give the following European opinions concern ing the conference: Considerable interest has been arous ed bv the statement that bimetallism his found an advocate in Archb!shop Wslsh. of Dublin. In the course of an interview regarding the distre&s pre vailing in Ireland the Archbishop de clared that the adoption of bimetallism was a matter of imperative necessity to save the Irish tenants iroin ineviia' ble ruin. Foreign competition is not at all the sole cause of the ruinous fall in the mices of agricultural products. The main cause he believes is the continu ous rise in the value of gold. "What a prospect it is," he added, "for the Irish tenants whose judicial rents are fixed for fifteen years, or for the tenants with annual purchase payments extending over forty-nine years, that gold has risen 35 per cent in value within the last fifteen years, and must continue to annreciate if the present system is maintained!" The London Post, discussing the cur rency question and the conference in this city, complains that Senator Alii son is a representative merely of the silver party in the United States, and that therefore little can be nopea xor from the conference, as there will be no chance to discuss any practical arrange ment to utilize silver as a subsidiary cur rencv. The Vienna correspondent oi the London Chronicle says: "The Ameri can proposals at the monetary confer ence. being a repetition of the bime tallic programme rejected at the con ferences of 1878 and 1881, have caus ed disappointment here as they fail to suonlv a basis for a further discussion without raising false hopes in the sil ver market. Rothschild's proposal is also regarded with anxiety." THE ROTHSCHILDS VISIT AMERICA, Perry S. Heath the Washington cor respondent of the Omaha Bee sends the following dispatch to the Boe, which will be read with much interest by all who have an intelligent idea of the way the finances of this country are really controlled: Washington, D. C, Nov. 29. Alfred de Rothschild's proposition to the international monetary conference at Brussels has recalled the fact that he and other well Known members of the great banting house of de Rothschild have , . . ,r- 1 a . . ri oeen frequent visitors to nasningion. ai ls thought, moreover, that some of these visits have given the Rothschilds an insight into the course of financial legislation in this country, which has had much to do with the present propo sition. Only two months ago Henry de Rothschild, with his valet Corier and a small retinue of attendants, was at one of tho uptown hotels for several days. He is the Paris member of the Roths childs house. At the time of his visit Secretary Foster was making final arrange ments for the international monetary con ference. Last spring another member of the family and it is thought to have been one who Is now prominent in the Brussells conference was in Washing ton for some days. It happened at a time when the house was in a turmoil over the Bland silver bill and Mr. do Rothschild showed much t Interest In the controversy. In an Intervlow he stated that his interest was not so much due to what Mr. Bland might or might not do but it was from curiosity over the excitement which could be aroused In America on a financial question which Europe knew nothing about, Mr. de Rothschilds treated the con gressional turmoil very lightly from his expressions at the time. It is judg ed that he has changed his mind con siderablv as to the importance of con certed action among the great financial nowers. Several timos prior to last spring various members of the Roths child family have been here although their visits have always been as sight seers rather than financiers. FOURTH bitting. The confertnee met again Friday December 2. The report on Roths child's plan was heard. The committee reported against that plan. It appears that the committee stood five to seven against tho plan. It is reliably report ed thitt the American delegate voted for R6thschild's plan. An! Associated Press dispatch of DeceJmber 3. eavs that the attitude . of the American press U very surprising to the European delegates. ucn press comments as have reached Eu rope are from New York. These have been most damaging to the cacse which the American delegates are champion ing. Foreign delegates to the congress, after reading their own press, are staggered by the comments of the American press. What is the natural result? They can only ask: If the United States is dissatisfied with the action of its own delegates why should other countries be satisfied? The report by the committee, on which Henry W. Cannon represented the United States, was most unsatis factory to the American delegates. The latter, it is said, did not want Mr. Can non on the committee, dui tne loreign- ers did, as they unaerswxxi ne wua New York banker. In an interview Rothschild reiterates his Btatement that if the conference adjourns without doing anything a panic is nicely to ensue in tne near future. Senator Jones expresses himself as disgusted at the treatment the Ameri can delegation has received from the New York Press. He says the ouuook for accomplishing anything is not good The next sitting oi tne conierence will be on Tuesday. December 6. So far nothing has been accompnsnea and there is no definite prospect that anything will be accomplished. It will not be surprising li tne conierence comes to an end in the near future f : Gobbled $35. McCook, Neb., Dec. 6 The till ol A. C. Clyde's saloon was tapped last evening, and cash to the amount of $35 taken. A window lu the rear part of the building was broken. Suspicion attaches to a young man employed about the establishment. This is the second robbery here within a week. ' Gay Trammel Under Arrest. Valentine, Neb.. Dec. 6. The preliminary hearing of Guy Tremmel of Coday, who on November 14th last shot and killed his six-year-old sister, Degan yesterday before Justice Haley and was held for murder in the first degree in $1,000 bonds for his appear ance at the district court. - Omaha, Dec. 6 Chris Mason was arrested this afternoon for passing coun terfeit money at several places about the city. He had In his possession three counterfeit dollars and three bogus half dollars, and refused to say where he' got them or how they came into his possession. He will be turned over to the federal authorities. 0MAnA, Deo. 6. Fritz Grleb, night watchman at the Metz brewery, was killed by an engine in the U. F. yards last night. He was walking along the I. track and stepped aside to let an en gine pass and was struck by another. He was badly mangled. He leaves a wife and several children. , y Color from Metals. v A thin, reguline, and coherent film of a metal transmits light of a color remarkably similar to that emitted by its incandescent vapor. The color of the vapor of a metal varies with the temperature. Just above its boiling point the vapor of sodium is purple; at incandescence, yellow. The vapor of potassium is green; at incandescence, violet. Silver in distilling gives off a blue-white vapor, while that volatil ized by the electric arc passing be tween silver electrodes emits yellow ish" green light The color of the film obtained in many cases agree very well with that of the incandescent vapor. In some instances, however, there is no similarity, a fact which is probably due to failure to obtain the proper conditions for the volatiliza tion and deposition. The perfection and continuity of the deposit is easily detroyed by very slight changes in the conditions. The color of a film will vary some what with the thickness, but as far as I have observed the colors extend over a very limited portion of tbe spectrum. Eaph metal possesses a strong tendency toward, a characteristic color, which is produced when the film is as thick as it can be to transmit any light. V. L. Dudley, in American Chemical Jour nal. Improved Armor Plate. At a recent meeting of the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, Mr. F. Lyn- Garrison gave an account of some re cent trials of Harveyized nickel steel armor plate, made by the Bethleham Iron company of Bethlehem, Pa., and tested on the private proving grounds of the company. The results of these trials demonstrated a decided advance in the resisting powers of 6uch plates to the penetration of projectiles. Photographs of these plates taken after the firing test (five shots from an 8-inch gun, powder charge 81 pounds. Holtzer projectile weigh ing 250 pounds.) Referring to the last experiment, the speaker stated "that the plate (8x6 feet by 10 M inches thick and weighing 18,600 pounds), which was a companion piece to one that had lately been tested at tha Indian Head proving ground, of which trials a full account appeared in his report published in the Journal, had received a total energy of impact of 25,040 . foot tons, fully 50 per cent greater than the plates were subjected to in the previous trials, and exhibited, nevertheless, much less injury than the plates in the former tests. He considered it doubtful whether armor plates equal in quality to this had ever been produced elsewhere. The retail coal exchange of New Vork city has adopted a resolution to advance the retail price of all sizes of coal twenty-five cents per ton. Chicago world's fair managers say that if congress will repeal the Sun day closing provision of the law they will not ask further financial aid.. For Sale or Rent.
