f > ram to the lli.K.J The Maxwell grant has
ntwnys been regarded as the most Klgnnttd
of nil swindles on tills continent , a typical
fraud on tin ; government , thn top and crown
of land robbery , and no speech has ever been
made In opposition to fraud and corruption
In tlio west without holding Its enormous
proportions up. As an Illustration of what
wicked men can do In the way of land steal
ing "As big a swindle ns the | Ma\well
grant" has hucn a ijrnvorb. lint the supreme
court of tliu United States to-tiny decldod
that It was not a swindle ; that It was an lion-
cst Kraut ; that thn persons to whom It has de
scended arc cntltled.to the landsand that the
squatters now occupying It , to the number of
several thousand , have no right there. The
decision will create a great sensation. It will
fall like a thunderbolt on the citizens
of Trinidad and other towns on the grant ,
and will .surprise moat people who are famil
iar with the case. The tract of 1,700,000 acre-i
covered by the grant comprises a strip of
country lying on both sides of the boundary
line between Colorado and New Mexico , and
Is considered the best crnzinit land In that
imitof the union. It also Includes many
mines In the lioton mountain , as well as
millions of dollars worth ot improvement

Idea that the Kraut would be connrmed. Just

linbor Troubles.
It would appear that by common con
sent or previous concert of plans the
lirst of May is selected as the time for
the Inauguration of labor troubles and
the approach of that date is marked by a
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
abor organizations. The Omaha paper
langors and house painters have made
he lir.st open expression of their dissatls-
' ictlon and have taken a stand for higher
wages that is apt to create serious trou
ble ut the very opening of their busiest
season. The paper hungers , who are re
ceiving from ? 2.50 to $3.50 per day , have
ssued a schedule whereby they ask an
ncrcase to $5 a day or the privilege of
doing piece work , for which they do-
nand the following schedule : "Hrown
intl white blank and buff , one edge
trimmed. 18 cents per roll on side walls
nnd 23 cents on ceilings ; pressed paper ,
$1 , walls or ceilings ; work in closets and
jotwecu shelves at double price ; for
work done nnd goods used not men
tioned in this schedule , the workman
shall receive ? 5 per day. " The schedule
nlso provides that workman shall , if
lot srflowcd to do piece work ,
receive $5 a day , or a yearly
salary of not less than $ lOtU. )
This is a marked advance over
.he prica at present icccivcdbj' the paper
Lingers , ( ind the employers seem little
li.sponcd to meet the demand. The paper
lancers aie supported in their movement
jy the house painters. Those mou have
joon receiving $2.CO pur day _ for ten
liours' work. Tlicy demand an inoreasi )
to 2.75 per day for nine hours' work ,
with a pay nnd u half for overwork and
double pay for Sunday work. On Thurs
day last the master painters formed u
union in order to further strengthen the
claims of their order. The schedules
prepared by the paper hungers and paint
ers is announced to take cllect April 15 ,
although the men are till working at the
old rates. It is announced , however , that
they will make an emphatic demand for
the inauguration of the new schedule on
nnd after the lirst of next month.
The dealers and contractors inyall
paper met at Heard & Bro.'s establish
ment last evening to consider the claims
of the dissatisfied employes. Nearly all
of the dealers in the city wore repre
sented. An organisation was effected and
I tie matter very fully discussed. As there
is no immediate prospect of trouble an
adjournment was tnkun until next Mon
day night , when an answer will bo made
to the employes. The sentiment of the
meeting indicated that the demands of
painters will be acceded to with the ex
ception of the demand for double pay for
Sunday work. This is considered exorb
itant and a compromise will bo asked.
The employers did not como to any un
derstanding with regard to the schedule
of the paper-hangers , whose demands
will bo further considered at a future
meeting. The prospects are that the
troubles will bo settled without a strike.
A Tentnstorn' Strllcp.
At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning
the thirty teamsters 6lrilIoyed' by Con
tractor Ellis in building the power house
for the Omaha cable railwayat Twentieth
and Harnuy streets made a demand for an
increase of fifty cents per day nnd the
demand being refused the entire number
quit work. The men have been receiv
ing $3.00 per day and Mr. Kllis says lie
cannot afford to increase it to $3.50 , as ho
can easily ( ill their places with
good men and teams anxious
to work at the rates ho
now pays. The work has boon aban
"
doned" , but the contractor says ho will
put a full force of now men on this
morning.
Tlio .striking teamsters declare their de
mands to be just and their determination
to hold out for the raise , a determination
in which they say they will receive all the
backing necessary. Later in the day the
contractor visited tlio police station" and
invoked police protection , claiming that
the strikers had made numerous threats.
The city marshal detailed two policemen
to guard the property and all is now
quiet. It is not. likely that any serious
trouble will occur.

Large W. It. Wondover , Cnp-
tared By tlio AVcstorn Do-
tectlvo Agency ,
Detectives Dingmaii and Kmery , of the
western agency , arrested at the Arcade
liotellast evening a young man who had
been stopping there several days under
ihe name of W. II. Wondover , of St.
Louis. The charge against Wondover Is
forgery of a number of cheeks which have
been passed on merchants in the city.
The checks have ranged in amount from
$10 to $ 15. The lirst one was passed on
Penrosu & Hardin , gun merchants , on
Thursday last. Wcndovor entered the
store nnd made a few purchases , for
which lieha'I not siifllcicntmouoyto pay.
Ho then tendered a check purporting to
bo signed by Lyons & llcaly , for whom
lie claimed to be working. The amount
was $15. He endorsed the check in the
store and it was accepted. About if 10 in
money was returned to him. Subse
quently the chock was returned by the
bank in which it had been deposited , ns
Lyons & llcaly had refused to honor it.
Tlio cis : < ) was then put in.tho hands of the
detective agency.
While the detectives were looking for
Wcndovcr , that individual was quite in
dustriously plying his avocation. He
passed , during Friday and Saturdaybogus
chocks on Sa\o , the druggist ; hitney ;
shoo dealer ; the Nebraska Clothing com
pany , thn Bankrupt shoo store , and Coil-
man , cigar dealer. In all instances ho
repeated his tactics which were practiced
ut Ponroso & Ilardin's. Ho purchased
altogether goods valued at ! ? HO and ob
tained about $100 in money.
Wondovcr's satchel , which wa = ob
tained by the detectives , was found to
contain articles which the officers refer
to in a vague way as being clews to other
operations of crooked character.
George Kennedy , who has resided in
Omaha for fo ir or rive years , nnd lias
during that time worked for the United
States Express company , Peycko Bros. ,
\V iledomaii & Co. and Schroeder & Co. , is
wantedon a charge of passing two forged
cheeks. One was tendered to M. Hell-
man on Saturday in payment of a bill of
$20. It way for $123 , and purported to
have been drawn by Sehrocder iV Co. , for
whom Kennedy had been working. Mr.
Hellman accepted the check and paid
Kennedy $105 in cash. The other ,
for $120 , also purporting to have been
signed by Schroeder & Co. , was cashed by
Morrison & White. It was presented on
Saturday night. The chocks were signed
in a business like hand nnd Kennedy en
dorsed them in an entiiely different chi-
rography.
These fosgorlcs were not discovered
until yesterday , and search was at once
made for Kennedy , but ho was not found.
He is believed to have loft the city on
Saturday night or Suday morning. He
had always been regarded as an ordi
narily steady and reliable man , which
made it easy for him to perpetrate the
frauds.
rime CUSSCUKESS.
W. Patterson , alias Whitcoloud , a
negro , attacked Jack Durnoy , a printer ,
with a knife on Dodge street , near Elev
enth , at 0 o'clock last night. Durney
was walking along Dodge street toward
Eleventh street and had not spoken to the
negro , who met him and then turned
back nnd followed him. The negro mudo
two lunges at Durnoy , slitting the hitter's
coat , but not. inflicting more than ilcsh
wounds. Patterson refused to say any
thing , but it was claimed by tlio police
that lie did it for "pure cussednoss.

At Dubuqiic , Iowa , the driiccists sav ,
Allilophoros beats them nil. We thought
it would be like many other rheumatic
medieines that have been put upon the
market , sell for awltllo then gradually
sink out of our memory. Hut such Is not
the case with Athlophoros , instead of
our sales diminishing they inercase , and
what makes us have more faith in its fu
ture mission , is that our customers como
baek and praise its gooil work in the
highest terms. Saul one druggist to the
writer : " My confidence is .so great in

When putting any property
on the market , and advertising
it as desirable , T hare invariably
confined myself to a plain unvar
nished statement of facts , never
indulging in vague promises for
the future , and the result in ev
ery case has been that the expectations -
*
tations of purchasers were more
than realized. I can refer will'
pleasure to
Albright's Annex
And Baker Place
as sample illustrations.
Lota in the "Annex" have
quadrupled in value and are still
advancing , while a street car line
is already building past Ilakcr
Place , adding hundreds of dollars
to the value of every lot.
Albright's Choice was selected by
mo with the greatest care alter a
thorough study and with the full
knowledge of its value , and 1 can-
conscientiously say to those seek
ing a safe nnd profitable invest
ment tin *
Albright's Choice
offers chances not excelled in this
market for a sure tiling.
Early investors have already reap
ed large profits in CASH , and with
the many important improvements
contemplated , some of which arc
now under way , every lot in this
splendid addition will prove n bo
nanza to lirst buyers.
