MAY BE A BIG STRIKE
Would Involve Fifty Thousand Men
In Chicago Building Trades
Paralysis of building operations for an
indefinite period this spring in Chicago
and Cook County and an immense strike
in the building trades involving 50000 men
are not improbable contingencies Unless
a disagreement is settled which sprang up
recently between the Masons and Build
ers Association and the Bricklayers union
members of both organizations believe
Chicago will witness a greater labor con
flict than that which was waged in the
building trades for nine weeks of 1887
That strike which affected thousands of
workmen in a dozen of the building trades
was the result of a quarrel between the
Masons and Builders Association and the
Bricklayers union
The question of a general strike has been
discussed at the last two meetings of the
union Some members advocated it If
the 4000 union bricklayers engage in a
strike it will force into idleness all other
building crafts Plasterers hod carriers
lathers carpenters and the rest can do
nothing while the bricklayers and stone
masons Tefuse to work and will not try
under the present system flf the present
differences are unsettled by April 1 arbi
tration will be suspended and strikes which
must become general will follow

NO WARSHIPS TO GO TO CUBA 1 RURAL FREE DELIVERY
State Department Dinfes Gen Lee
Has Called for Them
It can be stated on the best authority that
so far at least there is no reason for ap
prehension that the case of Dr Richard
Ruiz who was found dead in his cell in the
jail at Guanabacoa Cuba will lead to an
international complication The matter
was brought to the attention of the state
department in the latter part of the past
week through complaint of some of the
friends of the doctor in this country The
allegation was that the man had been
imprisioned beyond the period allowed by
the treaty for an American citizen to be
kent in iail without the lodgment of
charges and that he had been murdered by
his jailers
Consul General Lee was immediately di
rected bv cable to investigate the affair
although it appeared from his dispatches
that he had already hail his attention di
rected to the case The official reports of
the Spanish officers are said to show that
Ruiz committed suicide while in jail but
this has not yet been communicated to the
department of state Meanwhile Consul
General Lee is investigating the matter
and the state department is awaiting his
report
In the absence of this the department
officials feel no apprehension of any com
plications and all stories that warships
have been called for by Gen Lee or that
this government is making ready to take
forcible measures in the case are without
foundation
Dr Ruiz was a naturalized American
citizen He studied and practiced dentistry
in Philadelphia for some time and returned
to Cuba about the beginning of the present
Insurrection The charge upon which he
was arrested was conspiracy in having par
ticipated in the derailing of a train carry
ing Spanish troops as a result of which
three Spanish officers were captured by
the Insurgents

Experiments Demonstrate It wortfd
Cost 40000000 a Year i
The postmasters and patrons at every
one of the forty four postoffices wheie
rural free delivery has been in operation
declare in favor tit the plan The senti
ment in favor of the adoption of the com
prehensive scheme is unanimous represent
ing opinions given both by the head of
each postoffice and patrons The obstacle
however is the tremendous cost involved
When the experiment was first contem
plated it was roughly estimated rural free
delivery to cover the whole country would
involve an annual expenditure of over
20000000 but experience already had
shows 40000000 is a conservative figure
The cost was found of course to vary
with the character of the country where it
was formed sparsly settled regions nat
urally heavily increasing the expense The
maximum cost of delivering each piece of
mail matter was between 9 and 7 cents at
Hartsville Ind and less than 7 mills at
Greenfield Franklin County Mass The
average cost per letter is a little over 8 cents
in these rural deliveries
There are many places however where
the delivery of mail is impossible and these
aggregate a large portion of the country
The least difficulty in the general adoption
if the scheme is in the eastern states
though a number of western points like
the country adjacent to Denver Colo
show comparatively small cost The offi
cials believe the service can be advantage
ously established in a number of well set
tled regions Postmaster General Wilson
has not yet drafted his report but it is be
lieved he will demonstrate the value of the
continuance of the experiment for a year

NEW BREED OF CATTLE
Kansas Stock Kaiser Develops the
Dream of Cattlemen
Gen W W Guthrie of Atchison Kansas
owner of a large ranch in Chase County
and a stock farm in Atchison County has
just made public the result of an experi
ment in stock breeding covering a period
of eight years He claims to have de
veloped an entirely new breed of cattle
which has been the dream of stock raisers
for years and which for the present he has
named polled Herefords He has succeeded
in developing an animal with all the main
markings of a Hereford but which is with
out horns He began his experiments
with the belief that a strain of cattle could
be developed from the Hereford that would
meet more satisfactorily the requirements
for beef and milk and he is confident that
his experiments have been successful He
never abandoned the idea that horns
could be bred out of the Hereford strain
and now after years of experimenting he
has a herd of twenty seven heifers and two
bulls that are polled Herefords The new
breed is somewhat larger than the Here
ford and with sparer hips but retains the
natural markings Gen Guthrie believes
that the new breed is superior to the Here
ford as to beef quality and is convinced
that they will meet his expectations as to
milking qualities

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON
DENSED FORM
University of Nebraska Observes the
Anniversary of the Granting of the
Charter Under Which that Great
Institution Is Conducted
Charter Day Exercises
The University of Nebraska celebrates
in a more striking way each year the anni
versary of the granting of the charter un
der which that great institution is con
ducted This year as usual on February
1G the buildings were all thrown open and
the public invited to come and get ac
quainted with what is going on every day
inthe way of work and to see the appa
ratus and appliances in its prosecution In
the forenoon occurred a reception to the
orator of the day Dr Carter at the resi
dence of the chancellor In the afternoon
the gymnasium exhibit by the young
women of the University was gone through
with The drill of the university battalion
on the campus was as great a success as
could be asked the evolutions being gone
through in a creditable manner The gov
ernor and his staff received the cadets
and expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased with their work The
charter day exercises ended with the even
ing gathering at the Lansing theater to
hear the address of Franklin Carter Ph
D LL D president of Williams College
Chancellor MacLean announced that at
the meeting of the board of regents on
February 15 such action had been taken
as would make it the custom in the future
to confer degrees twice a year instead of
once as has always been done in the past
Those students who complete their work
in such time as to make it more convenient
will hereafter be able to graduate and re-
ceive their degrees at the charter day cel
ebration instead of at the regular com
mencement time in June Such action has
been contemplated for some time and is in
tended to do away with the hardship that
has made it necessary for students who do
outside work in order to make their ex
penses while in the university to stay for
several months waiting for the regular
commencement day when they must be
present in order to receive their diplomas
and degrees Nearly all the state societies
sent communications commending the
action of the regents in establishing the
school of agriculture and the dairy school
A letter was read from ex Regent Yictor
Rosewater expressing regret that he was
unable to be present Dr Carter addressed
the assemblage on Thoughts on Univer
sity Work and was well received
MRS ANNA SOPHER ACQUITTED
Charge of Manslaughter Against the
Woman Fails to Hold
The trial of Mrs Anna Sopher at Ne
braska City charged with manslaughter
on account of the killing of John Kicker
last November in a house of ill fame kept
by her has come to an end It took the
jury thirty minutes to bring in a verdict of
acquittal Rieker with two companions
attempted to enter the house forcibly after
being denied admittance when several
shots were fired on them from an upper
window one of which struck Rieker kill
ing him instantly The Sopher woman
and a piano player named Spencer were
immediately arrested and narrowly es
caped lynching at the hands of Rickers
friends the following night Spencer was
tried for murder at the December term of
court and convicted of manslaughter He
is now serving a ten year term in the pen
itentiary
Make it Self Sustaining
An effort is being made by Secretary of
State Porter assisted by others to enable
the office in his charge to become self-supporting
This is to be accomplished
by means of a bill now pend
ing in both house and senate to increase
the fees of the office to some proportion
with the expenses There are many states
in the union in which all the departments
are self supporting and from some of
them a handsome profit is derived
The biennium appropriation for the secre
tary of states office for the ast term 18
000 was all expended while the receipts
were only 167712 leaving a loss of 16
82288 The bill which has been introduced
provides sufficient revenue to be raised
from fees to more than make up this deficit-Prepare
for Spring Farming
The preparatory work of fanning has
already begun in Nuckolls County The
winter has been most favorable There
have been but two weeks of anything like
cold weather one period about Thanks
giving and the other from January 23 to 31
at which time the meicury reached 10 de
grees below zero No snow has fallen but
the ground is in prime condition owing to
the heavy late rains The outlook in this
county for a big crop is better than itflias
been at this season since 1891
Makes Converts of Every One
The union revivals still continue at
Holdredge and the interest is uuabating
Every class of business and profession has
had members of its ranks added to the
great army of Christian workers One
evening last week the meeting was led by

both made earnest eloquent pleas to their
unconverted friends to join the ranks of the
Christians About 325 have been converted
since the meetings started

Important Case Decided
The supreme court has handed down an
opinion in the case of William J Bryan
and others appellees against Elmer B
Stephenson and others appellants This
is the celebrated gold bond case which
was won by Bryan in the district court of
Lancaster County and appealed to the
supreme court by Stephenson The ap
pellees Bryan and others as residents and
taxpayers of the city of Lincoln instituted
this action to restrain or enjoin the ex
ecution and delivery by the city mayor
and city council of certain funding bonds
amounting to 531500 to Stephenson The
trial resulted in a judgment in favor of
Bryan and the sale of the bonds were per
petually enjoined One of the mainpoiuts
contended for by Bryan was that it was
stipulated that these bonds should be made
payable in gold This was the principal
ground upon which he brought his action
in the lower court
Following is the syllabus
The clause when the same shalMiave
been authorized by a vote of the people
contained in section 66 subdivision xxi
article i chapter xiii a Compiled Statutes
under heading Cities of the First Class
means authorized by a majority of the
voters of the city
A proposition to authorize the issuance
of funding bonds was submitted to the
electors of a city pursuant to the provisions
of such section of the statutes at the same
time and place as the general city election
Held Under the facts shown to be but
one election that the presumption is that
all the electors voted at such election and
the proposition to work its adoption must
have received a majority of all the votes
cast at said election
The decision of the lower court is
affirmed The important feature of this
opinion is that it lays down a line of
judicial finding that plainly foreshadows
the opinion of the supreme court on the
vote for the constitutional amendments last
fall The decision distinctly holds in
opposition to Judge Maxwell that a
proposition must receive more than one
half of the votes cast for any candidate at
said election
Planing Mill Burns
The large planing mill of F L Pade
Son at Hastings burned to the ground It
is not khown how the fire originated but it
is thought there must have been some fire
in the engine room and as there were
always plenty of soft wood shavings
around it is quite likely that the fire started
from a spark in the engine room At the
time of the lire there was considerable
lumber in the large building The entire
loss is estimated at 9000 There was not
one dollars worth of insurance on it
Industrial School Boys Give Trouble
The boys at the industrial school at

tempt to escape as there has been a well
developed scheme among the larger boys
for some time to get away
