P/.ATTn Cnxmi , Neb. , April fi. [ Special
Telcgra to Tun Bii.J-Hon. : Charles II. Van
Wyck spoke hero tonight to a good house ol
farmers and business men. Ills subject was ,
as ho stated , the "Political Question of To
day. " There came , ho said , a grout political
party to crush out slavery and force the free
dom of the black slaves , and the question had
jiow come to the white man to crush out the
slavery of himself , wlfo and children. He
drew a picture of the late war and the slave
holder and said another war of ballots were
to bo fought. Ho said the Chicago , Burling
ton & Qulncy railroad was the greatest
monster that was ever entwined around the
human form : that railroad stocks costing
tl.OOO were watered to $11,000 , ; tnat the tariff
-was eating up the people ; that an American
Hi-tide that sold in Sweden for ! 17 cents sold
in the United states for 75 cents. Ho said the
trouble was that we hail too much tariff. Ho
referred to John Quincy Adam's speech
twenty years ago , denouncing the railroad
nnd stating what we would come to , as wo
now havo. The entire tenor of his address
was independent action nt the jwlls : that the
alliance should fling its banner to the breeze
und good men of all parties would unite in its
support.

ished for food and water. The coroner de

o'clock lust night und told the officers that ho
had been swindled 'out ? of a stallion worth
$1,000. lie prcfaceu * ) Ills' story by saying thnt
ho had been working for Peter Sicrt ,
a saloon mall [ fljf.r. Blair , during the
-j y months , awljTifl wus well known in
thftt town. Ho Ijarfpf/wilcd the stallion for
sonic time , nnd"roc'cy ' i ? haVtfconcluded to
dispose of It. Last " 'Thursday ho came to
Omaha iu company \yith ono Bob Martin , a
friend living in Blair. Martin introduced
him to Fred Kobars , a bartender nt the Merchants - ,
chants hotel saloon , who .in turn introduced
him to .F. W. Foster as a probable purchaser
of the horse.
Hooks says that Footer appeared to him to
bo well-to-do business aud told him
a - - man , ho
had been a resident of Qiuahii n long time.
Foster said he wanted the animal and would
tr.ulo him u W,000 first mortgage on lots in
.South Uinnlm , and that the paper would bo
good ut u 5 pe.i cent discount at any bank in
in the city. Hooks thought that
was about what he was looking
for. and verbally closed the trade then and
there , and roturuilig immediately to Blair ,
hud the stulliou In Omaha the next dav , driv
ing horn with a buggy and leading it behind.
Upon arriving here he put up his horses at
the Club stables ou Capitol avenue. Then ho
went around to see Foster. The latter
showed him the $5,000 first inort-
g.igo. Hooks asked that ho bo nl-
lowo.l to show it to the other parties
before accepting it , a friend of Foster's to ao-
cainpany him , Foster agreed to this , and
sent a man whom ho introduce ! ! ns "Mr.
Hush , a real estate num. " Hooks says that
ho and Bush then went out and Into a "big
business ofllee , " but whoso or where ho can
not now say , and showing the mortgage asked
if it was all right. "A leaping nppeuriiig
man In the big business olllce , "
Hooks says , informed him ihat
the mortgage Was no good. Hooks
then returned the mortgage to Foster and
told him ho wouldn't accept it. Foster re
marked something like "Oh , pshaw ! That
man didn't know unvtliiug about it , I'm aw
ful busy Just now. .But see here , I'll get It
all arranged for you on Monday , by going to
the bank myself. " Hooks says that Foster
talked along [ .fur some time , and
appeared to bo fo thoroughly reliable a
person , well known , and all that sort of thing ,
thnt finally , when ho remarked , "Now ,
Hooks , you Just give me a bill of snlo for the
the stnlilon right now and I'll give you a con
tract to pay for it ou Moudav. " Hooks says
he gave him a clear bill of sale for the horse.
Yesterday ho took his own teiini nnd buggy
back to Blair anil returned to Omaha last
night. After getting his supper nnd going
around town a while he thought ho would
drop nround to the Club stables und see that
his stallion was all right. Upon culling there
he says ho was ' -knocked almost silly" by be
ing told that "Fred Kotos' man1' hud called
at the stables curly In the oveing , said that J.
\V. Foster hud a clear bill of sale for the
stallion , and that ho had been directed
by Mr. Kobars and Foster to tnko
the annual , as they hud arranged to ship it
away that ( lust ) night , " AH they ( the livery
men ) hud known "Robui's ' mftn" qvito well
they thought It was 'lijiji'iuht and gave it up
to him. Therefore , 'thd. $1,000 stallion hud
left the stable sovoninipOrs before Hooks ar
rived. ; ; 'j . 'f
After learning tlii/i/.Ktju-tllnf ? fact , Hooks
says ho hunted hiinud low for Foster ,
Roberts and "tho nuinjjljbut couldn't find nny
of them , und wantp/J , assistance from the
police. The police dlilu'ltS/'O how they could
help him to nny very jjatfsfactory | extent.
A HUE reporter who ( had heard the story ,
started out to try and throw some light on the
mutter. Nothing luldlliwml could bo learned
nt thn Club stubles. Nobody could bo found
In or about ctho MurcmnAs hotel who jiad

The city dtrectsry was found to contain but

it the door bell was finally responded to by n
a heavy , man's volee-whtch wcclalmcd :
"Is that you , John ! "
' No Does J. W. Foster live hero ? "
"Yes. "
"Is ho in ! "
"No. Ho liiu > n'l comdyet for some reason
or other. "
This ended the search for the other sldo of
look's story , if there Is another sldo. Ho
seems to bo a clear-headed , fjulto intelligent
mm , probably some thirty or thlrty-llvo
viMi-h old. Ho feols--badly broken up over
what ho terms a sure and straight loss. The
itilmul is described by him as being a stand-
ird bred , bay stallion with black points ,
weight about 1,050 , nnd about llfteen and u
uilf hands high , Ho Hays ho has had chances

FROM THE I1AWKEYE STATE ,
A Threatened Strike of Coal Minsrj iu the
Vicinity of Fort Dodge.
OBJECT TO A SUMMER SCHEDULE.
The House CotiNlders the Prohibition
Question In Committee of the
Whole Ocmoerals Victo
rious nt Davenport.
FoiiTDon'oK , In. , April 5. [ Special Tele
gram to Tiir/Bii : : . ] A general strike among
the coal miners of northwestern Iowa was
foreshadowed foday by the action of the Kale
miners in refusing to submit to a scale of
summer wages proposed by the owners of the
Craig mines. The contract which the miners
refused to sign was one reducing the price
paid for mining coal to $1.05 per ton. A
clause was also inserted to the effect that no
miner should 'quit work for any rea
son except sickness , aud should not
engage in any strike during the season. The
Craig company's miners , one and all , refuse
to sign the contract , and if it is insisted on
they are prepared to strike. A similar con
tract will be required by all the mlno owners
in this vicinity from their men , aud a general
strike seems inevitable. The companies
claim that they cannot pay winter prices
during the summer without losing money.
Their agents say their mines will bo shut
down during the summer unless the men
come to terms.

the republican senators met In conference to
night to discuss the silver question. The
webrorn senatow , those known as silver men ,
had the floor at first and explained their views
when tlio representatives of the other sections
expressed themselves. No marked prefer
ence for the Wlndom bill us against the
Jones bill , reported by the senate committee
on llnunco was shown. It ] was tl o general
opinion that the republican congressmen
should harmonize upon some means of legls-
latiou ou the silver question und press it to a

jctlon of the republican members of the com-
inlttco on privileges und elections , in request
