GEORGE Sy.TRO3IAN , the well known
Union Pacific engineer , whose name
became familliar from one end of the
country to the other because of his connection -
nection with the Brotherhood of Locomotive -
motive Engineers as chairman of the
grievance committee , has been elected
president of the San Diego , Pacific &
Eastern railroad. Mr. Vroman left
Omaha for San Diego , and says that
there is no question but the roan will
be a go , and that its success is assured.
Railroad men throughout the United
States have taken hold of the project
and will see that it is pushed forward.
Indorsements have been received from
the commercial bodies of San Diego
and from numerous lodges of railroad
men in the United States.
A Youxo man whose name could not
be ascertained , but who works on the
farm of Thomas Allen , ten miles north
of Eagle , accidentally shot himself last
week with a 32-calibre revolver. While
handling the weapon he squinted down
the barrel and pulled the trigger. The
ball struck his forehead just above the
right eye , making a ragged wound , but
coming out without penetrating the
brain. He was taken to Eagle and
placed under the influence of chloroform -
form and the ball extracted. He is a
gritty young fellow about eighteen
years of age. IIe refused to give his
name. "I have a father and mother in
Lincoln , " he said , "and I don't want
them to know what a d-d fool I was
monkeying with that revolver. " The
doctor says lie vill recover.
Miss III. GALLAGHER of Brooklyn , is
one of the luckiest persons in the
world. She was en route home from
a. winter spent in California , and was
sitting in the drawing room of the Pullman -
man on the Union Pacific eating an
orange. She was using a fruit knife
with a silver blade and pearl handle ,
and when she had finished she wrapped -
ped the knife up with the peelings and
threw the bundle out of the window.
This would be a little thing in itself if
it were not for the fact that the knife
was a personal present to her from
Queen Victoria , and consequently valued -
ued beyond price. The package had
been thrown out near Albright , in the
suburbs of South Omaha , and when
she arrived she told lien story to Officer
Fleming of the Union depot squad , and
] eft her address with Ticket Agent
Fonda in the depot. 't'he officer telegraphed -
graphed to South Omaha and also to
Albright , and several small boys started -
ed down the track in search of the gift
from royalty. Strange as it may seem ,
the knife was found lying loose beside
the track , having become dislodged
when thrown out , and it was sent to
the Union depot. Mr. Fonda forwarded -
ed it to its owner in Brooklin.
HAD it not been for the prompt arrival -
val of a deputy sheriff Douglas county
would have had another lynching
placed to her credit The scene of the
trouble was at Irvington. During the
last two weeks two girls have been
criminally assaulted in that neighbor-
hood. The first one assaulted is Amanda
Loche , who lives near Benson , a suburb
of Omaha. The other is Maggie Carl-
son , the 15-year-old daughter of Carl
Carlson , a well known and highly re-
speeted farmer. The description of the
fiend given by the Carison girl led to the
arrest of Abraham W. Lander , who is
employed as delivery man for a yeast
company in Omaha , and who resides
near Irvington. Carlson was satisfied
that the man arrested was the one who
had assaulted his daughter , and became
so enraged that he drew a revolver and
atttempted to kill him , but was prevented -
vented from doing so by the officers.
Lander was lodged in jail 'and later
was taken before Justice Crosby , to
answer to the charge of criminally assaulting -
saulting the girls. He pleaded not
guilty , and was released on $1,500 bail
furnished by his brother. His preliminary -
nary was held on the 15th. Lander
was once before arrested on the same
charge , but his victim could not positively -
tively identify him and he was dis-
charged. lie is a married man and his
wife , is prostrated with grief at her
husband's arrest.
THE Clay County Teachers association -
tion held an interesting ineeting at

resentation from all parts , of the

BUSINESS SOMEWHAT HURT BY
THE COLD SNAP.
Increase of Wages by Iii ; Employers of
Labor the Most Encouraging Feature
of the Week-Failures Slightly Less
Than Last Year.
New York , May 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade , says : "The severe -
vere cold snap , with extensive frosts ,
and in dome states snow , has fortunately -
nately done little damage to the great
crops , though much to fruit , but has
considerably rearded retail trade. The
best news of the week is the advance
of 10 per cent in wages by the Carnegie
works , followed by the Jones Laugh-
lin establishment , and evidently imply-
tng a similar advance by many other
concerns. No advance has been found
practicable in the woolen mills , where
conditions as to prices and foreign competition -
petition are very different and about
10,000 workers are still idle at Olney-
yule , where the works should consume
600,000 pounds per week. In other departments -
partments of labor troubles are not serious -
rious , and the demand for manufactured -
ed products increases.
. "With material and steady enlargement -
ment in domestic trade there is still
great want of employment in the Interior -
ior for money which comes hither-
$3,500,000 during the last week-and with
the millions distributed by the syndicate -
cate on bond account stimulates spec-
ulation. Accordingly wheat has risen
five cents , although the reports of injury -
jury by frost don't appear , upon sifting -
ing , to concern any considerable proportion -
portion of the growing grain. Western
receipts for two weeks of May have been
2,917,305 bushels , against 2,609,293 last
year , and Atlantic exports 3,059,454 ,
against 4,565,101 last year , being reduced -
duced by the advance in price less than
would be expected because of generally
current. reports of decrease of acreage.
With only six weeks of the crop year left
the stocks in sight constitute a heavy
surplus , if not as large as some western
statisticians estimate. Corn has advanced -
vanced only ' / cent , being apparently
injured more than wheat , but the acreage -
age gives promise of a yield of 2,000,000 ;
000 bushels.
"Cotton is an eighth stronger , in spite
of the fact that 9,618,081 bales had come
into sight last Friday , which is over
400,000 bales more than the largest crop
ever recorded. Goods are in fair demand -
mand for the season and the advance in
prices is maintained.
"Wool was remarkably heavy for the
last week at the three chief markets ,
the sales being 5,536,750 pounds , and for
two weeks of May 11,059,750 pounds ,
against 11,767,750 in the same week of
1892 , the last year of full demand. In
that year the sales of domestic were
5,96,000 and this year 5,681,750 pounds.
Failures during the last week have
been 211 in the United States , against
219 last year , and 37 in Canada , aginst
24 last year. "
UNDER FALLING WALLS.
One Man Killed and Two Injured at
Chicago.
Chicago , May 20.-One man was killed
and two others seriously , perhaps , fatally -
ly , injured by the falling of a ruined
wall at Henry and Brown streets yesterday -
terday afternoon. The three victims of
the accident belonged to a gang of men
engaged in tearing down the walls of
the building formerly occupied by the
Globe Molding company , which was destroyed -
stroyed by fire March 2. Twenty-two
men had been working on the job before
12 o'clock , and had vainly tried to pull
down the section of wall which subsequently -
quently fell. This wall had been undermined -
mined , and though all the men tugged
at it with a rope , they failed to pull it
down.
When the men resumed work at 1
o'clock in the afternoon orders were
given to remove more brick from under
the wall , and scarcely had the men
started to obey when the whole wall ,
40 feet high and 125 feet long , came
down about their ears. Some of the
men perceived their danger in time to
get out of the way , but three of them
were caught among the falling brick.
Mores Segell , the subcontractor in
charge of the work of demolition , was
arrested. He said he had no doubt the
accident was caused by a sudden gust
of wind. He was confident not a single
brick had been removed after the men
resumed work in the afternoon before
the wall fell. .
Coal Mining Situation.
Pittsburg , Pa. , May 20.-The associated -
ated coal operators of this district are
courting trouble. Following up their
proposition that they would pay 69 cents
if the Pittsburg and Chicago and the
New York and Cleveland companies
men could be brought out , F. L. Robbins -
bins announced they would import negroes -
groes from Virginia and pay them 00
cents a ton. Fifteen imported men went
to work yesterday. The miners are
angry at this turn of affairs , declaring
they will have 69 cents. They are making -
ing preparations to prevent the new
men from going to work and to bring
out those now working.
Judgment Against \ew York Sun.
London , May 20.-The libel action
vhicti the Reuter Telegram company
brought against the New York Sun and
the Central News , as the distributor of
the Sun , for an article which appeared.

rious News of the Eastern War , " has
resulted in a judgment against the Sun
in the Queen's bench division of the
high court of justice , the Sun not ap-
pearing. Action is pending against the
Central News.
Mica Deposits In Alabama.
Chattanooga , Tenn. , May 20.-A rich

SILVERITES ADJOURN.
Address Issued' to the People of
America. '
Salt Lake City , Utah , May 20.-The
bimetallic convention has adjourned.
An address was issued to the people of
the country , setting forth the claims of
the states represented , California , Colorado -
orado , Idaho , Montana , Nevada , Oregon -
gen , Washington and Wyoming , and
the territories of New Mexico and Utah.
The claim is made that the people of
these states , irrespective of party affiliations -
filiations , present themselves almost as
a unit demanding the free coinage of
silver and gold at the ratio of sixteen
ounces of silver to one ounce of gold ,
with full legal tender functions accorded
to each and no discrimination against
either. The address continues : "The
monetary system of the country was
founded not upon gold alone , not upon
silver alone , but upon both silver and
gold , at a certain ratio to each other ,
with no limitation upon the coinage of
either and each standing upon an equal
footing before the law. The system was
founded by Hamilton , sanctioned by
Washington and Jefferson , its wisdom ,
sand justice questioned by no one until
the year 1873. In that year , without
notice to the people , the standard silver
dollar- was dropped from the coinage
system of the country , and every debt
therein existing , public and private , aggregating -
gregating thousands of millions of dollars -
lars , was made payable in gold alone.
Against this monstrous injustice the
members of the new party are pledged
to labor. " -
The following executive committee
was chosen : Colorado , E. B. Light ;
Idaho , G. V. Bryant ; California , H. W.
Langenour ; Montana , F. T. Merrill ;
New Mexico , T. Bradford Prince ; Oregon -
gen , Sydney Dell ; Washington , W. C.
James ; Wyoming , F. W. Mandell ; Utah ,

DECISION WILL BE ADVERSE.
Report That the Intone Tax Will Be
Declared Unconstitutional.
Chicago , May 20.-A special dispatch
from Washington to the Chicago Tribune -
bune says : Chief Justice Fuller has
completed writing a decision which upsets -
sets the Income tax law entirely and
wipes it off the statute books. The decision -
cision has been put in type , returned
from the printer , and is now being considered -
sidered by the majority justices solely
on the ground of its general expressions.
The law itself is a thing of the past.
The conference of Saturday developed
the fact that Chief Justice Fuller , Justices -
tices Field , Gray and Brewer were still
opposed to the law as a whole. Practically -
tically the whole court was willing to
exempt state and municipal bonds. A
majority of the court , including Justice
Jackson , was opposed to the tax on
rentals. An apparent majority was in
favor of upholding the law as a whole ,
but just at this juncture Justice Shiras ,
who wavered during the first hearing ,
took his stand with the opponents of
the law and then the chief justice went
to work on his opinion , knowing it
would go down into history as the decision -
cision of the court. It will almost certainly -
tainly be handed down Monday , and
the chances are there will be several
individual opinions delivered at the
same tinge. -
EXCITED MARKETS.
Wheat and Corn Prices Raised at Several -
eral Points.
Chicago , May 18.-Excitement greater
than ever marked the grain markets
to-day. Corn joined wheat in the ascending -
cending scale , and prices went up at a
rate that took away the breath of the
speculators. It was a bad weather and
short crop market , and between this
and the influx of orders from the country -
try to buy both wheat and corn the
market broke away from the professionals -
sionals and went star-hunting again.
Corn sold up.to 55 % from the opening at
511/ , and wheat went to 72 % , a cent and
three-eighths above the starting point
of 70 % .
Prices at other points continued
higher than in Chicago. While brokers
were offering to sell all the visible supply -
ply at 691 , cents on the iloor of the Chicago -
cage bourse , wheat was quoted at 70
cents in Milwaukee , 711 , cents in Toledo
and 72 cents in Detroit.
That considerable damage has been
done to the growing crop in Illinois , Indiana -
diana and Missouri seems certain.
Frost and bugs have conspired to reduce
the prospective yield , and reports from
all portions of those states indicate
short crops and unfavorable conditions.
ACCEDES TO OUR DEMAND.
Final Answer in the Allianca Incident

Madrid , May 20.-The Spanish government -

requests and to be in a most cordial and
friendly spirit.

G OV. EVANS , STIRRED UP.
Address to the Citizens of South
Carolina.
Columbia , S. C. , 2Iay 16.-Gov. Evans
has Issued a long address to citizens of
South Carolina in which he deals harshly -
ly with the recent decisions in the dispensary -
pensary and registration cases. He
says : "The people of South Carolina
have always been law-abiding and respect -
spect the constitution and the courts of
the United States. But when the judges
of those courts wantonly invade and
trample under foot the recognized rights
of our people , guaranteed by the federal -
eral constitution , they have a right to
assert themselves and maintain their
sovereignty and independence. This
they have ever done and will continue
to do and will resist with all the means
within their power usurpation and tyranny -
anny and partisan politicians in high
places who disgrace the judicial er-
mine. " He denounces Judge Gott In
the most bitter tones , and closes as follows -
lows : "I appeal to the sovereign people -
ple of South Carolina to protect their
homes and liberties. The government
of the people must and shall ( be perpetuated -
uated , and we are ready to lead the
fight under the white man's flag. "

( From th@"WoIId- r
A World-Herald reporter w attracted -
ed by thexevidence of renewe activity-
of some of the older ! nhabitan s of the
village of Florence , a suburb of Omaha , .
Neb. , and Inquired thecause. . l ir. Andrew -
drew Flnkenkeler , who was a member
of Company B of the First Iowa Volunteers -
teers during the war , made the following -
ing explanation so far as he himself 1s +
concerned :
"In July , 1866 , while my company was =
on the march through to Austin , Texas , .
I was attacked with rheumatism of the
worst kind In one leg at Alexander , La.
Being weak , I was sunstruck and remained -
mained unconscious for several hours.
Every summer since I have been unable
to stand the heat of the sun , and have
been compelled to give up my work.
There was in my head a bearing down
feeling which increased until it seemed
my head would burst , and it caused a ,
ringing in my ears , and palpitation of
the heart set'.In , so that the slightest ,
noise would set my heart thumping.
Several times it has rendered me unconscious -
scious for from seven to ten hours at a
time. " In addition to. this the rheumatism -
tism extended up my entire side until i
It drew my head down on my shoulder.
I lost my strength and flesh and was
totally unfit for work.
"For twenty-eight years I have consulted -
sulted physicians and taken their pre
serfptinswithout deriving any material -
rial benefit. My ailments ins in
intensity until I was assured that there
was no hope for me. During last year
I went into the butcher business , but
the dampness from the ice used Increased -
creased my rheumatic pains to such an
extent that I was not only compelled to j
quit the business , but was confined to
my house , and bed for nearly six
months.
"I had given up all faith of being a
well man again , when in November last
I read in the World-Herald a case of a
man who had been entirely cured from
the ailments from which I was suffering -
ing , by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. On November 28 ,
I purchased a box. In a week I was
astonished to know that I felt better
than I had for six months past , and before -
fore I had used half a box I was sure
that I had found a cure for my ailments. . ,
The ringing in my ears began to lessen
in volume , and finally left me. That was
the first effect I experienced aside from 9
an Increased appetite. The pain from
the rheumatism gradually left me , so.
that within one week from the time I
took my first pill I was able to sit up in ,
bed. On January 1st , I was able to go
out and walk around a little. The palpitations -
pitations of my heailt entirely ceased.
On February 9 , I was so thoroughly
cured that I accepted a position as night
watchman In the Forest Lawn Cemetery -
tery , remaIning out of doors from 6 p.
m. until 6 a. m. I have gained in weight d
from 144 pounds , which I weighed in
November last , to 172 pounds , which I
weigh now. " {
Mr. R. W. Cowan , keeper of a general - I
eral store at Florence , was also seen by , p
the reporter. Mr. Cowan is also an old 1
soldier , having been t member of the r
144th Infantry , Company C , and later
of Company M of the First Minnesota I
Cavalry. Mr. Cowan stated that he con- I
tracted chronic diarrhoea while he was
in the army and has Clever until within , I JJ
the past few months , received any re '
lief. He stated that he had taken the
wonderful Pink Pills and was now , t
most thoroughly cured , so much so in . . . . , . , , .
fact that he has discontinued their use. r
He was also paralyzed in the left side
of his face , the mouth being drawn u P
at the left corner , and he was entirely
unable to move the muscles of his fore- .
Bead or to close his left eye. He states
that lie believes it Is owing to the use l
of the Pink Pills that
he has recovered i i
the use of his left eyelid , which , prior I
to his taking the pills , had been fastened -
tened down by a physician so that the
sight would not be destroyed from the
eye filling with dust , and ascribes the
recovery to the Pink Pills. He has 1
gained fifteen pounds in weight since t
last October , and feels healthier and
stronger than at any time since the war. 1
He intends to recommence using the
pills with the expectation of a complete
recovery from the paralysis.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a specific {
for troubles peculiar to females , such i
as suppressions , all forms of weakness ,
chronic constipation , bearing down
pains , etc. , and in the case of alien will
