ITS IMPROVED CONSTIIUTIOS

INDORSEMENT OF BILLS ANDVISITING RULES
for Union of American IVdeni-
tlon nnd Kiilcht of Inbor MaUlne It-

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.

Senator Teller ot Colorado inllcg at tlm
I'limncliU Situ Ulon.
DENVER , Jan. 1. Senator II. M. Teller ar
rived from Washington yesterday for a brief
visit. In an interview this morning ho said
the outlook for Colorado was a very gloomy
ono , nnd In his opinion would not change so
ongasthoprescntadmiiiistration Is in power ,
lowas satisfied , however , that the condi
tion of the poor nnd the ilnanccs were
nuch bettor in Colorado than In any of
the eastern stales. Ho denounced the extra
session scheme of Governor \Vaito as ono of
the worst things that could have happened
to Colorado. While in Mexico ho talked
with several ofllci.ils regarding Governor
Waito's proposition to circulate Mexican
dollars in Colorado as legal tender ; they all
made iLUch sport of the proposition and de
clared it was not leaslblo. Hu did not , men
tion it to President Diaz , as ho wns
ishnmcd to.
Mr. Teller behoves that the United States
nleht profitably imitate the financial policy
of Mexico , which is now the-most prosperous
country on the western continent , lie looks
'or no favorable silver legislation , but ba-
loves that President Cleveland would clmupo
lis silver policy ut once should Great Britain
see her way clear to advocate ) a double
standard. Mr. Teller returns to Washington
Wednesday.

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.

ows an attack of the grip can be perma

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.

Congressman Wilson of West Virginia , the framcr
of the much abused "Wilson Bill" is no doubt a commer
cial genius. 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
