    2 THE OMAHA .DAILY UERs TUESDAY , JAOTAHY 17 , 1800.
rablo balloting to determine whether
cither of the two leaders In the race can
tnako It and If It develops that neither
have sufficient strength , t feel confident
that the legislators will look around and
tnako their choice solcljr with a view to
the good of the state and of the party. They
will want to vote for the man who promises
most In the way of experience , ability and
popular confidence and whose election will
contribute most to upbuilding the repub
lican party In Nebraska. When a survey of
the pcrnonncl of the legislature Is made this
expectation is not unreasonable. Most of
the republican members were nominated be
cause they were men of standing and bual-
ness ability n their communities , where
there would have teen scant hope of electing
republican candidates except by the strength
of the candidate's reputation. The result is
a legislature composea of memjjcre chosen
with few If any pledges and tied to no
body's strings. Kuch men may bo relied on
to exercise their own best Judgment and be
govern d solely by their opinion of the
fitness of the various candidates for their
favor. In this I feel great encouragement.
The senate at today's eeaslon decided to
make the first vote on United States senator
a special order ior 11 o'clock tomorrow.
At that hour the contest will begin. The
members nro discussing the advisability of
using tickets for admission to the floor dur
ing the senatorial vote , as they are very
constituents secure
desirous that out-of-town
cure scats when they come to look on dur
ing these exciting times.
The house In the meantime decided by
resolution to take the first vote for United
States senator at noon. There is prospect
that the house will be crowded lone before
noon and that there will be little room for
the crowd that' will come , over from the
senate after that body has cast Its prelim
inary ballot.
Thu matter of printing Is receiving some
attention In both houses , the letting of the
contract by the secretary of state for the
printing of the house and senate rolls at a
higher rate than was paid last year hav
ing raised a suspicion that tbe printing
houses were combining to make the legis
lature pay extravagant prices.
In the. house the chairman of the com
mittee on printing is I. D. Evans of Adorns
county , himself an old printer. He Investi
gated the matter of the printing of 250 title
slips for each. bill. This ho found was done
by "lifting" the type from the title of the
bill Itself 'and using It to print the title.
A further Investigation showed that last ses
sion the price paid for each set of titles was
$2 , making a total of $1.300 for the session.
It was also found that the chief clerk of the
house last session had charge of the print
ing and that the bill titles were printed by
a firm with which ho himself was con
nected.
Chairman Evnn took the matter In hand.
secured competitive bids and made a new
contract , whereby the house bill titles wtyl
this year bo furnished for 2. > cents per
sot. making a saving to the state of $1.138
on this Item alone.
The Juslonlsts endeavored to get another
of their ntimber on the senate pay roll to
day. Governor Poynter wanted a messenger.
The matter went over till tomorrow. They
already'havo three on the pay roll.
Another thrust at the Anglo-American un
derstanding was made by Schaal of Sarpy ,
but -It' , will -take 1U time along with the
other bills , as ItIs of the nature of a joint
resolution. A similar resolution was In
troduced in the house by Cunningham of
*
Harlan. '
llnyivard Force * Cnuoun.
The- Hayward forces went Into caucus
shortly after 8 o'clock tonight and at mid
night were still In their room behind locked
doors. The pooullats held a caucus during
the evening and decided to support Allen
in the scpatorlal flaht ( BO. Ipng ps there Is
a possibility of securing his election.
This altprndon the commltWa.b'ri , prlyl-
leKOtti ami elections secured a Warrant .and
also been sent out after the poll books' of
Chase county , 'that the votes cast up there
may be verified by the committee.

1 Eastman said ho was nbt In favor of such
a general use of passes , but 'he ' thought If
a member of the house wanted to Use one
It was his own business. Halter nald the
matter of mileage was a constitutional pro
vision nnd this action of the house at this
time would have no effect. Any member
might draw his mileage Just the same. Wy

against passes and therefore he was for the

IDENTIFIES TRAIN ROBBERS
Flnkcrton Detective Sarx Three Men
Under Arrest at St. Joseph Are
the Parties.
ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , Jan. 16. Detective J.
9. Billings of the Plnkerton agency arrived
h ro today and recognized James Gllmore ,
John Allen and Harry Howard as the three
men .who robbvd the Great Northern train
In-Mlifnesoa last November. Ho' Svllf makd
a strong effort to take them , back to that
state for trial.
Detective Billings says the three men are
well known criminals In the north and that
a heavy reward was offered for tfaem. They
are held here on the chaigo of robbing
James C. Davis , a lawyer , last November
and are supposed to have come hero direct
from Minnesota after robbing the train.
The Great Northern train robbery oc
curred on the night of November 10 five
miles west of Fergus Falls. The robbers
*
blew open the local express safe and se
cured a few hundred dollars. The through
safe could not bo opened. Five men were
arrested the next day for the robbery and

In prison. The trial of the others was con
tinued.
MURDER CLEWS INDEFINITE
Conple Evident- Killed by Some One
Who Had Enjoyed Their
Hospitality.
ST. LOUIS , Jan. 16. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Linn Creek , Mo. , says ;
Authorities are unable to find a clew suf
ficient to Justify an arrest in the case of
Uoorge W. Anderson and Lizzie Wlsebach ,
who were found murdered with an axe In
their home three miles east of here Fri
day night. Hogs had'mutilated the body
of the woman. The supper table Indicated
that the couple had entertained a third
person at the meal and it Is supposed that
this guest was the murderer.
Anderson , aged 55 , and the Wlsebach
woman , aged 18 , had been living together
for eighteen months , though the former's
wife and several grown children lived in
the neighborhood. Money and other valu
ables found on the 'body of Anderson prove
that the motive for the crime was not rob
bery , Anderson was a member of the no
torious Quantrell band during the war , and
had the reputation of being a "bad man. "
The coroner's Inquest has not yet been held.

MINERS INSIST ON MORE PAY
Eight-Hour ay Will Also Ba Included in
Their Demands ,
OPERATORS DETERMINED NOT TO YIELD
Iiiillcntlnii * Favor n. Itattle lloral
When ( lip Joliit Conference An *
million Men Illiil at a
Strike.
PITTSBURQ. Jan. 16. This week will
witness a bait to royal between the coal
operators and the United Mlno workers over
the Interstate ngrecment. The operators
torn St. Louis and Illinois ore already bcro
and by tomonow It Is expected that rep
resentatives from all the states Interested
will bo In the city. The Joint convention
Is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon , but K
the miners do not got 'through with their
business the meeting will be postponed
until Wednesday. It Is generally under
stood that the operators will energetically
oppose any advance In the prlco of mining
and will fight to the end any agreement
1 looking toward an Increase In tho. present
1 wages. The business , they admit , has been
butter during the lost ninety days than for
| a long time , but they are hampered by a
lack of cars for transportation. Some ot
the miners' delegates say they will Insist
. both upon an advance In wages and the
I eight-hour day. They claim that nearly all
the mlnea of the country are being worked
to their full capacity and that 'there Is a
scarcity of miners In many of the districts.
Michigan Iron ere operators are sending
agents though the coal mining districts of
Illinois , engaging coal diggers to go to the
Iron mines. Altogether the sltisitlon , they
say , warrants asking for more money. Some
of the delegates even went eo far as to hint
that If their demands were not compiled
with n strike of greater magnitude than tbo
country has seen for years will be
Inaugurated next summer.
Contrary to expectation the result of the
balloting for officers was not announced at
the afternoon session. Unfavorable action
was taken on a resolution to Increase the
per capita tax so that each member may bo
furnished with a copy of the United Mlno
Workers' Journal.
After several committee reports of minor
Importance had been read , Acting President
Mitchell said It would be Impossible to get
through with the business in time for the
Joint interstate convention arranged for to
morrow. He moved that a committee bo
appointed to wait on the operators and re
quest a postponement of the joint conven
tion until Wednesday attcrnoou at 1 o'clock.
The motion was carried and John Mitchell ,
Philip Roberts and Denis Sullivan were ap
pointed.
An announcement , was made that the scale
committee would not be ready to report un
til tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
COLUMBUS , O. , Jan. 16. It was officially
announced tonight that the Hocking Valley
operators would not attend the Joint con
vention In Plttsburg. J. S. Morton , one of
the leading operators of the valley , said ho
would not attend and he did not know of
any others who would be there.
The Hocking Valley operators held a con
ference in this city today and , discussed the
situation with the result above stated. They
say when they entered into the Joint agree
ment a year ago It was with the under
standing that the miners would organize the
state ot West Virginia and advance the price
of mining there. This promise of the
miners , It is said , has not been kept , and
an a result the Ohio operators have suf
fered severely , by competition ' with West
Virginia coal , though they'have maintained
the prlco of mining under the agreement.
The refusal of the Hocking Valley or thick
vein operators to participate In the joint
convention renders the renewal of the In
terstate agreement problematic , as they are
an Important factor In the coal trade.
H. L. Chapman , who represents the thin
vein operators of Ohio , has gone to Pitts-
burg , but It Is not known whether he will
participate in the convention.

TENDER RECEPTION TO BRYAN

Program.
DENVER , Colo. , Jan. 16. W. J. Bryan
and wife arrlvea in Denver this morning.
They were met at the depot by a reception
commltteo and were escorted to th'e residence
ot Hon. T. M. Patterson , where they had
breakfast. At 11 o'clock a public reception
to Colonel Bryan was given by the Denver
Bimetallic league. At 1 p. m. former
Senator 'John H. Poole entertained Mr.
| and Mrs. Bryan and a party of friends at
luncheon and at 5 p. m. they were the
guests at dinner of former Governor J. B.
Grant and wife. This evening Mr. and Mrs.
T. M. Patterson held a reception for
the Nebraska visitors , to which members
of the legislature and other prominent people
ple had been invited. The program tomor
row Includes an address to the legislature ,
dinner at the residence of Governor Thomas
and a public address in the evening , the sub
ject of which Is "Naboth's Vineyard. "
Mr , Bryan declared. In a brief speech
which he made at the public reception , that
the stiver issue Is still very much alive. Ho
said :
"Tho cause lives because it embodies the
hopes , the aspirations and the belief of our
people. It Is a strong cause , because the
people need silver. The American people
favor bimetallism , never mind whcro the
silver la produced. We do not need It be
cause It is produced here. People cat be
cause they need It , not because food bos to
bo consumed. And eo with gold and silver.
They are Important In the world's commerce
because they are needed and you can never
destroy silver while it Is needed.
"The farmer , the creator of wealth , knows
that the gold standard lowers prices without
raising money. And If the gold standard
should once be established you may set It
down that the date of bankruptcy is not far
ahead. To restore bimetallism Is to restore
the parity between money and property.
"Those who advocate the gold standard ,
_ as a rule , know that the gold dollar Is not
j stable or honcjt. The strength of the gold
j standard Is to be found In the money centers
ami its strongest advocates are these who ,
when their dollar Is invested , want it to
go u ? .
"If our cause la juat , and I firmly believe
