8 HIE OMATIA DAILY BE j TUESDAY , JANUARY 2 , 180-f , ITS IMPROVED CONSTIIUTIOS Good Points In Now Laws of Omaha Centra ! Labor Union. INDORSEMENT OF BILLS ANDVISITING RULES for Union of American IVdeni- tlon nnd Kiilcht of Inbor MaUlne It- elf Fell Son * nt the liluo Label 1'rom Labor's I'lcld. During the past year there was a constanl demand In labor circles for a now constltU' tlon for the Omaha Central Labor union , but the matter never took doflnlto shape until four weolts ago , when Messrs. li. G. Junncss , J. B. Scliupp and August Doorman wcro elected n n committee to prepare rfow by-laws and constitution for the union. These gentlemen spant many hour * In preparing - paring the now document and at the meet ing of the- union last Wednesday evening submitted the result of their labors , which was adopted with but few changes and thojo of minor Importance. COne of the members In speaking yesterday of the now constitution , said : "Tho now by-laws nnd constitution have several good points that wcro cot contained In the old ones. Ono point In particular strikes me ns being about the right thing. The old consti tution did not permit visitors under any cir cumstances whatever , which was In m.v opinion not nercssary. iSow , the new consti tution will admit any member of a union or assembly that U represented In the central body. The only thing necessary for the ad- mlttance of a visiting member of organized labor now Is for ono of the dele gates for the organization to which he belongs to vouch for him by stating that he knows the party asking admission to bo a member in good standing. This clause will give general satisfaction to all the organizations represented and makes it Interested in organizations possible now for any ono ganizations to bo present at the meetings of the central organization. The visitors , of voice in the proceedings course , huvo no vote or ings of the union , but It Is a satisfaction to many to attend and see how the business Is transacted. "A very Important change was also made In regard to the work of legislative commit tees. Heretofore a committee on legislation has been elected and given full power to act , the union depending entirely upon the judg ment of the committee to formu late bills and take any action it might choose. Hereafter all committees on legislation will bo required to present all bills to the union for action before being in troduced. This , In my opinion , Is a good safeguard and Insures that nil measures ad vocated and introduced by organized labor will voice the sentiments ot the working people. Of course we have never had any trouble on this score , because the men we have elected on these committees have al ways been level headed , but wo do not know who might bo elected In the future und it is well to have this clause anyhow. Then , furthermore , I believe that a bill bcarim : a slip attached with the seal and signatures of the union will stand a brttcr cham-o of be coming n low than when simply approved by ono or two men. There are several other good points In the now constitution , and , taken as a whulo , I think It will give gen eral satisfaction to all afllliatcd unions. " llnlo'n of rodrr.uion KnlchtH. There is considerable discussion now going on In local laboV .circles regarding the probability of a union In the near future be tween the American Federation of Labor nnd the Knlgnts of Labor. It was thought by local labor leaders that President Gomp- crs WHS opposed to Joining the two organiza tions as one , but since his re-election ho lias somewhat changed on this and several other subjects and Is now iucllnea to listen to the demands made by the progressive element of the American federation. The organiza tions In almost every locality have worked together by forming central labor unions and trade nnd labor assemblies , and the rank and file have for the past three years been clamoring for a union of the national organizations , which seemed almost impos sible so long as Powdurly and Gompors were the lenders. The agitation for this measure was largely responsible for the election of ' Sovereign' Powdcrly's successor , the Knights knowing that SovcrolKti was well liked by the trades unionists. Likewise the name agitation came within eighty-two , votes of defeating Gompers lor re-election. which was a pretty close call , out of a total vote of over " , ,500. The Gompers faction would certainly have been dislodged had it not been for the mistake that was made by his opponents in making the Issue the re moval of the headquarters to the west , which hold many of the eastern delegates In line for Xiompors. This continual agitation by-tho rank nnd file of both organizations is now having its effect in the high places nnd the labor lead ers of this city arc of the opinion that the union of both forces will take plaro within the nnxt few months , or In n year at the longest. ' 1 nu sentiment In Omaha for the past three or four years has been for concentration of nil labor forces and the local organizations have at no time taken part in the differences that have existed between the uoads of the two organisations.

'i'T 1'HOUVVTtOy. Hot Air Well Dlicororeil Hint Will lie Uicii to AilTAiitncc. TOPEKA , Jan. 1 [ Special to Tun BHB.J Ir Kansas , be it In politics , In religion , or Ir nature , the unusual , the freakish , Is nlwnyi happening. The latest wonder Is reported from Linn county , near the Missouri border , and It Is nothing loss than n hot air well , The story Is verified by A. lit Van Doom , n lumber dealer of Aichlson , who wns last week driving from Butler , Bates county , Mo. , to La C.vgno. Linn county , .lust nftei he had crossed the Missouri line he canto to the farm of John John son. The farm lies partly In the vnlloy of the Marias do Cygnes river and partly in the upland. The farm house Is lo cated on a sort of a second bench of the val ley nnd stands back fifty yards fiom tlm main traversed road. As ho apuroaehcd the house his attention was first attracted by n roaring round and next by n crowd of men , women and eh I Id red gathered about a der rick. The crowd seemed to bo so greatly In terested and oxcltcd that Van Doom and his driver , tholr curiosity aroused , got out of tholr bucgy and joined It. They learned that in boring for water Join. son had at a depth of ninety feet pene trated a cavern to which there seemed to bo no bottom , outof which there constantly poured a steady How of hot air , so .strong in volume that It xvas with dlfliculty that the drill was held down , and so intense was the heat that the men at the mouth of the hole wcro driven away , nnd when they released their hold upon the drill it immediately shot upward , damaging the derrick and other machinery and breaking the gas pipe which connected with the drill point. Until the drill was wholly removed from the mouth of the well the rush of air caused a din of sounds re sembling n myriad of sharp little steam whistles , and when the obstruction was taken away the nolso souudcd like the roar of n blast furnace. The find of this phenomenon was made December 18 , but the How has not for a moment relaxed in volume or force , and the roar can Be heard a quarter of a mile away. The curiosity attracts great crowds of farmers , and is the talk of the country round about. At first n little vapor was expelled by the force of the air , but this has now disappeared and the How comes out dry and so hot that It tans and even burns one's hands. Mr. Johnson tested the heat by securing an egg in a wooden clamp and holdIng - Ing it In the How , ana in five minutes it was roasted as well done as It could be In a bed of hot ashes. Local scientists have visited the scene and tried to trace the flow to the current of natural cas , which is known to exist in the adjoiulntr county of Miami , but this theory Is at once dissipated by the fact that there is no odor of gas or anything else in the How. It comes , out as sweet and pure as the air from n hot nlr furnace. While Farmer Johnson's original purpose was to flnd water when ho bored the well , he has dovlscd a plan by which ho can put his discovery to good use. His house , which is less than Hfty feet away , ho proposes to move more closely to the well and pipe the air forhcating'purposns. ' lie Is a chicken fancier and raises cattle and hogs , and he will also pipe the air to his chicken house nnd barns , tempering it , of course , with cold nlr. In the ehloken house ho proposes to use the air noFoiily for warming urn-poses , but will apply it to.lnuubatois. and \viien he once guts fairly started ho will have a hatching every dayiand spring chickens tho'ycnr round. Ho already has a good trade in live poultry with the Armours of' Kansas City , but he will abandon this andcoutino his sales to spring chickens , notofily in the Kansas City market , but wherever ho can find a demand.

Toi'CKA , Jan. 1 , [ Special to TncBKn ] The construction of n now railroad and high way bridge ) over the Missouri river at Lcavcnworth , which was formally opened for tradio January 2 , destroys the usefulness of the bridge built nearly twenty-Jive years ago throe miles north of tlio city nt Fort Leavenworth. The old bridge is a splendid iron structure. It cost nearly ? 1,000,000 nnd was unloaded on Dutch bondholders at some thing like flf > 00lMO. It was built to accommodate - modato the Chicago ft Southwestern rail road , now a part of the Hock Island sys tem. H Is arranged for wagon as well as ruihoad traflic , but being so far away from the city llttlo revenue has been derived from that source. The revenue from railroad toll has also been compara tively light , ns the road docs only a local business at Leavenworth. In consequence no dividends over have been paid on the stock , and the bondholders have received very little on Interest account , Tney have sought in various ways to get rid of the property , but the Hook Island , \\hich is the only company that could possibly have any use for it , found it more economical to pay rent or toll charges. Now this source of revenue will soon bo gone , as the railroad company has made a contract with the new bridge , and the Dutchmen will have a costli piece of dead property on their hands , which they will sooner or later bo glud to sell for old iron. The bridge was located so far from the city for the solo and only purpose of stealing the splendid military reservation of 1,500 acres which surrounds Fort Leavenworth. This steal was the project of the construc tion company which built the Chicago & Southwestern railroad. Congress gave the railroad a narrow right of way for a short distance over the eastern part of the reser vation , but bill after bill to grant any other Interest In the tract was defeated , and finally the scheme was abandoned and the road was sold to the Hock Island. Before that the bridge wns bonded to tlio Dutch men , and the originators got out of the en terprise with a clean profit of n little less than $1,000,000 , notwithstanding the failure of their scheme to steal the reservation. Had they got this through congress the grab would have been millions , for the entire tract Is underlaid with coal. How to Cure 1. 1 Grippe. About a year ago I took a violent attack of la gnppo. I coughed day nnd n'ght ' for about six weeks : my wtfo then suggested that I try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. At first I could see no difference , but still kept taking it , and soon found that It was uliat I needed. If I got no relief from ono dose 1 took another , and it was only a. few days until I was free from the. cough. 1 think pcoplo In general ought to know the value of this remedy , and I take pleasure in acknow-1- edgintr the benellt I have received from it.

The measure is framed for the reduction of the tariff , also a reduction of the treasury ( ? ) surplus. The idea of herding up mountains of silver , when we can issue paper bonds and buy a clean supply of silver every year is ridiculous. Give the masses the benefit of what you can easily spare and let the treasury take care of itself Precisely as the Nebraska deals with that popular Semi * Annual Odd aiicl Ends Sale. We consider a most suicidal policy for us to herd up broken lots when we can obtain brand new and fresh stock , Thus we give the masses the benellt , regardless of what our treasury suffers We are just in claiming the ace of trump , for completeness of stock at every beginning - . ning ofa season.
