The Valentine Democrat Valentine , Neb. .1. M. Rice. Publisher TO STRIKE APEIL 1 { HALF A MILLION MEN WILL BE IN MINERS' STRUGGLE. \ jEaint Hope of Peace After Failure o Conference the Great Miners' Con vention Sings "America" and Ad journs to Prepare for Struggle. One ofthe most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in a national conven tion of the United Mine Workers of America was the final adjournment of that body at Indianapolis , Ind. , Fri day afternoon after the dissolution of the joint conference of operators and miners of the central and southwest ern districts and after the national convention had administered a sting ing rebuke to one of the oldest officers of the organization for transgressing one of the fundamental laws of un ionism in voting contrary to his in structions to stand for an increase of wages. When the lusty voices of the miners mingled in the singing of "America" had hushed , an oppressive silence fell upon the assembled delegates. Presi dent Mitchell slowly pronounced the words which adjourned the seven teenth annual convention without day , thus dissolving every hope of averting B. giant industrial war without the in tervention of some unexpected and powerful influence. The apparent determination of both operators and miners indicates that neither will make overtures for fur ther negotiations and unless some in fluence which is not now foreseen steps into the breach 550,000 men con nected with the mine workers will walk out of the mines in every section of the country on April 1. There have been intimations that two agencies the president of the United States and the National Civic Federation may be i appealed to to set in motion negotia 1 tions looking to a rehabilitation of the joint state agreement , or at least a dis cussion of some possible means of bringing the operators and miners to gether for further negotiations. The joint conference adjourned Fri day sine die without an agreement on a wage scale. The adjournment was Immediately followed by a call for a meeting of the national convention of the United Mine Workers og America for 2 o'clock. A motion by F. L. Rob- bins , the spokesman for the opera tors , that the present wage scale be continued was lost , as it required , uii- der the rules , a unanimous' vote to carry any of the principal proposi tions.

Struggle Almost Certain to Follow Conference. An Indianapolis , Infl. , dispatch says : The rejection of the counter proposition offered by the coal opera tors of the central competitive dis trict by an almo.st unanimous vote of- the national convention of United Mine Workers and the adoption of a resolution offered by Secretary W. D. Ryan , of Illinois , placing the miners on record as a unit in refusing to sign an agreement for any district until an agreement was signed for all dis- situation which , in the opinion of the United Mine Workers , has created a situation which , , in the opinion of the officers of the miners organization , will result In a disruption of the joint agreement and possibly one of the greatest strikes of oranized labor the country has ever known. The action was taken during a call ed session of the mine workers' na tional convention , which was called to order immediately following a short session of the joint session of the op erators and miners , during which the Joint scale committee reported that it had been unable to reach an agree ment on any of the principal ques tions involved and after F. L. Robbins , of Pittsburg , floor leader of the opera tors , had replied to President Mitch ell's question that the operators had no further proposition to lay before the miners , concluding that if mere was to be an interruption of the joint i agreement he wished the responsibili ty for such a severance of relations to be placed upon the miners. The counter proposition submitted by the operators , which was said to be their ultimatum , provided for their signing for another year at the present wage scale , with certain modifications to reimburse the Illinois operators for expense incurred under the "shot firers" bill now effective in that scale. Immediately following the rejection of the operators' proposal the conven tion set about to provide means for accumulating a strike fund of $6,500- )00 in addition to a like amount now DOW 'on deposit in the international , district and subdistrict treasuries of the miners' organizations. FATAL FRISCO FERE. Blaze on Transport Meade Costs Sev eral Lives. A San Francisco special says : Flames broke out late Wednesday night in the hold of the transport Meade , lying at the Folsom Street wharf.

At 3 o'clock Thursday morning the are was well under control arid the ship was flooded with water. The Meade was to have sailed Thursday for Manila with 1,000 men of the Second infantry and the Eighth and Thirteenth batteries of light ar tillery. I The damage to the vessel is not vital.

SILK THIEVES MAKE RAID. ' Store at Bloomington Entered and $5,000 Worth of Goods Taken. Cole Bros. ' dry goods store was bur glarized at Bloomington , 111. , and $5- DOO worth of silks carried away. The store is located on the main street and the alley in the rear is well lighted , making it difficult to enter unob- served. This is the third time within a year that the same store has been visited oy the professional silk thieves , and the manner of operation leads the po lice authorities to believe that the robberies are the same men in each . instance. After the first burglary the nolice located professional silk thieves Chicago , and they were brought , ack for trial. They immediately en gaged counsel and proved an alibi and vere acquitted.

A decision was handed down in the supreme court at Jefferson City , Mo. , "Wednesday affirming the decision of the lower co'urt in finding "Lord" Sey mour Harrington guilty of having mur dered John P. McCann in St Louis . two years ago , and fixing the date of his execution for March 15 next. A St. Louis special eays : "Lord" Barrington is one of the most interest ing figures ever brought before the criminal courts of this city. He is a man of undisputed brilliancy of intel lect , but he has devoted his talents to crime since he was a boy. When arrested the bogus lord was identified as the notorious Barton , sometimes known under the equally notorious alias Suydenham , wanted in London by the Scotland Yard"detect ives for many crimes , among them the alleged murder of an English army of ficer. He has done tjrne in several prisons in England. With nothing to backhis word but a charming personality and an appar ently inexhaustibla supply of ready cash , BarringtoH , or Barton , came to St. Louis and announced himself as an English lord and major of the Horse Guards of the houshold troops. He obtained a place in the most exclusive society of St. Louis without question. At a social affair at the home of one of the aristocratic members of so ciety he met Miss Grace Wllhelmina Cochran , of Kansas City , and soon they were married. This was the first downfall of the bogus lord. The brother of his bride doubted the sto ries of the newcomer , investigated and found that Barrington was a criminal with a long prison record , and had . been married twice before , all three of his ; wives being alive and undivorced. The false nobleman served a term in jail and then got a job in a saloon , where he met McCann. The victim of the St. Louis murder , McCann , a St. Louis race follower and hotel ] owner , was not Barrington's en- my : and was never known to have crossed Barrington. On the contrary , McCann ] was his benefactor ; had fur nished means for his release from the workhouse ; had taken him into his home ; had given him money ; had shared his profits on the races with him. him.As As to the motive , the police say it was robbery , inasmuch as Barring- ton stole winning tickets from the dead man's body amounting to $164. The murder took place in a lonely spot near Bonfils. OIL TRUST SCORES. Its Vice President Need Not Answer Questions. A decision that Henry H. Rogers , vice president of the Standard Oil Company , of New Jersey , shall not be compelled to answer the questions which he recently refused to answer in taking testimony at New York in the case of the state of Missouri agrainst the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and other oil companies , was handed down Wednesday by Justice Gilder- sleeve , of the supreme1 court. The application was denied for the reason that in Gildersleeve's opinion the court of original jurisdiction in Missouri should determine the ques tion raised by Attorney General Had- ley , of Missouri. Leave to renew this application was granted Hadley. Pi re at Winnipeg : . The east half of the Canadian Pa cific bonded warehouse at Winnipeg , Man. , was destroyed by fire.

To Reopen Sugar Factory Norfolk BusinessMen Have Started a New Scheme Outside Capital to Be In terested in Sugar Industry. A Norfolk special says : After oper ating a sugar factory in Norfolk for thirteen years , and for a time the larg est sugar factory in the world , , the American Beet Sugar Company a little over a year ago abandoned its plant here , dismantled the interior and re moved the machinery to Lamar , Colo. , to use in a new factory. Lack of beet acreage in this section of the state was the cause of the removal. It was de clared Impossible to operate a sugar factory successfully in this section of the state because the farmers refused to produce the saccharine bulbs. Since the factory has gone away the farmers around Norfolk have tripled their beet acreage and they raised this product on three times as many acres during the past summer , for use in H. G. Leavitt's factory at Ames , Neb. , eighty miles away , as they had for the Amer ican people during 1904. And now a new sugar factory is to take the place of the old in the big empty building that remains. The Norfolk Industrial Company , an organization of Norfolk business men who donated $150,000 to'the Oxnards when their factory was installed here fourteen years ago and who , when the plant moved away were deeded back the building and the 240 acres of land they had given , have , after more than a year's investigation , determined that no other institution than a sugar fac tory will be placed in the now empty buildings. It is now planned to interest $2.)0- 1000 of outside capital and add $150- ' 000 of local capital to make up the funds for the new company. The grounds and buildings of the present company will be put in at their exact valuation and an attempt will be made to sell enough stock among farmers and beet producers to bring up the entire amount to $150,000 , so that , with the interests of the farmers and the community associated with the success of tho new project little diffi culty with short beet acreage is antici pated. IIELD FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Two South Sioux City Young Men Ar rested on Reservation.

Charley Hornett is already under bonds of 5."iOO on a similar charge. Husband Held for Wife's Dcatli. Laura Kelly , aged about 20 years , died at Chadron. The cause is some thing about which doctors disagree , but the coroner's jury is holding the husband , William Kelly , considering that if a criminal operation had been attempted he either assisted , or at least it must have been done with his knowledge and consent. After the funeral a warrant was served on the husband. Relatives assert there is nothing true about any of the charges. Boiler House at State Farm Hunted.
