There Is no sign nt present of n confcrcnco
Ictvvenn the Union Pacific oinclala nn l the
committee representing the telegraphers
employed on thorny stem. i ; < hvard Dickinson.
Rcncr.il manager o [ the roud , said that ho
Jiad not , Imd tmo ! to examine all of the
HCbodulo submitted to him by the commit
tee , nnd could not specify a tlmo when It
would bo convenient for him to meet the
members until ho had carefully examined
nil the points In the Qocumont , It la not
ncllevod , however , that n conference will
too held this week.
The members of the committee maintain
their iisunl reticence In talking about tholr
uldo of the case , They refuse to give out
nnythlng hearing upon the now points In
the schedule which they wish the company
to grant They will wnlt pntlently the rest
of this neck for n summons from the rail
road company to n conference and If It Is
not forthcoming will again unit upon the
management the first of next neck to learn
what they may expect In the way of consid
eration. No threats will be made , but the
.railroad men will bo Informed that the
operators are "working men with small sal-
nrlca and that their tlmo It ) valunblo to
thorn. They will ask that some nnswor bo
Klvcn at an early date that they may know
"what " they lm\c to confront.
In answer to the statement by certain
railroad officers that the operators on the
Union Pacific arc better paid than these on
any other western road the telegraphers
Bay the schedule In force on the Denver &
Hio Grande Is far ahead of tliat in force on
the Union Pacific , and that there Is no reason
why that schedule should not bo In force
on tlui latter road , at least along Its lines in
Wyoming , where the other conditions nro
nbout the name as with the Denver & nio
Grande. They Bay further that the present
schedule on the Union Pacific Is not higher
than that on other Nebraska rends where
there is u contract with the telegraphers.
The Burlington has no contract , they say ,
and there tbo schedule U lower.
It is understood that ono of the prime
motives on the part of the telegraphers at
this tlmo la to have the now Union Pacific
company recognize the Order of Railway
Telegraphers by making a contract with the
operators. This Is not considered to bo a
difficult project If the other demands made
toy the operators can bo consistently met by
the railroad company.

The prospects are said to bo bright for
a large movement across the continent to
the Pacific coast during the coming sum
mer. This year It will be the school teach
ers. In 1897 it was n band of 30,000 Chris
tian Endeavorers who visited every nook
and corner on the Pacific coast and on the
homeward journey enjoyed the scenic at
tractions of Colorado or went through the
Yellowstone park.
The pasacnger officials of western rail
roads anticipate almost as great a move
ment this year. The occasion Is the an
nual meeting of the National Education as-
Delation nt LOB Angeles In July. Rates
iavo not yet been fixed , but they will prob
ably be about ono faro for the round trip
This will mean a round trip to Los An-
Keles from points In Nebraska for about
$52.
$52.As
As In 1897 , so this year the low rataa to
the Paolflc coast will probably be taken ad
vantage ot by n great many people In ad
dition to thceo who -will attend the meqt-
Inff. Already a sufficient number of per
sons have . announced their Intention of
irolng to Induce the railroads to figure on
epoclal train service.
I-AST TRAIN' SERVICE ! .

White not officially announced , it Is be-
Iloved among the representatives of the
Interested roads In Omaha that the fast pas
senger trains now prying between Chicago
and Omaha will have their tlmo lengthened
March 1.
The committee appointed at the recent
conference in Chicago has not made Its re
port. but this Is the result forecasted , and
4t I accepted as probable from the action of
the other roads operating In the same terri
tory. This does not affect the fast mall
trains , but only the passenger service which
Indirectly resulted from the fast mall serv
ice. The only two roads affected are the
Northwestern and the Rock Island. The
former will probably return to the fourteen-
Jiour schedule with 'It a Overland rimltecl ,
while the Rock Island , which put on a new
train , will take It off , and possibly operate
an exclusive fast mall train similar to that
of 'tbo Northwestern and Burlington.

It has not boon charged that any of the

Offcers nt nrmy headquarters In this city
express the highest gratification over the
reports from Manila showing the conduct of
the volunteer troops. They say all the dis
patches Indicate that the volunteers were
equal t every emergency , which Is taken
by the army men to Indicate that the tfmo
slnco the enlistment last summer has been
well spent In getting In shape for Just such
a contest. The officers are specially pleased
with the work of the Nebraska regiment.
They think there ought to he Bomo good
stories about the fighting of the boys when
the mall advices from Manila , reach this
country.
Another thing mentioned by the army men
Is that this battle will probably have a good I
influence In bringing the members of the
First Nebraska , and Colonel Stotsenbcrg
closer together. The colonel Is said to bo an
excellent officer and a fighter and It Is argued
that his skill and bravery In battle , backed
up by the Intrepid members " 'of the regi
ment , will create a bond of loyalty between
them which will result In good to the organ
ization.
Major William Monaghan , assistant pay
master , will go to Fort Crook next Saturday

for the payment of the troops at Tort Klley

great dramatic power. The Interest nnd

The local Jobbers are much dlilurhcd ft
present on account of the movement
towards Increasing the minimum weight of
carload shipments , which will bo discussed
by the representatives of the western rail
roads nt St. Louis February 21. The ef
fect of the change , If It gees Into force ,
will be to compel the shipper to charter
a larger car nnd to chip bigger loads or
else puy increased rates.
Material on which the minimum carload
weight Is now 22,000 pounds l Increased to
30,030 by the proposed scheme and similar
Increases arc scheduled on nearly nil sorts
of jobbing freight. Some of the jobbers
regard It as a species of encroachment on
the part of the railroads and they are anx
iously discussing what means to take to prevent -
vent the plan from being adopted. The
question occupied the freight bureau of the
Commercial club at n meeting Thursday
afternoon , but no definite decision was
reached. The bureau vlll meet ngaln Mon
day to tackle the proposition nnd decide
whether It will make an open effort to fight
the Increase.

UNION LABOR WINS A POINT
otinly Mlorncy Hold * rrllh Allied
Print Inu Trndrn on th Conntj-
.loli I'rlntlnn ,
The count } board will In nil probability
at Us Saturday mooting adopt Commis
sioner Connolly's resolution to linvo tholnbol
of the Allied Printing trailos on nil the
county printing , Ills resolution was pre
sented last I'rldny and was referred to Iho
finance * committee nnd ( he count } attorney.
Mr Shields has sent his opinion over to the
office of the board. It favors the label.
According to the county attorney , the re
quiring of uuch a label Is within the legli-
lallvo scope of the board. He sajs ho hns
made Inquiry ns to how the label can ho
obtained nnd what the conditions arc to
got It llo hns learned that It will ho sup
plied to nny printing establishment upou
condition that a certain sc.ile of wages Is
paid nnd all the employes nro union men
Viewed In this light Mr. Shields soei In It
a dlbtlngtilahlng mark of skilled labor , and
ho reasons by analogy that if the board can
specify a certain Ulnd of stone for road
paving purposes , or brick or cement , and
compel the contractor to procure such mn-
tcrlal , It has the same power with respect
to n certain quality of printing. Ho cites
the Kansas City decision In support ot this
view nnd cases wherein Detroit , Mich. , and
Superior , WIs , have been defendants.
In the course of his opinion Mr , Shields
enumerates the cities whoso local govern
ments hnvo adopted the Allied 1'rlntlng
Trades label , and he names also Honneplu
county in Minnesota nnd Hamilton county
In Tennessee. "Tbo court * , " he tajs , "havo
generally sustained the right of n body mich
iiu a city council or county board , to specify
the character of material nnd labor In con
tracting for supplies or work. "

before Judge Scott. It is a suit brought by

that Boyd bought the lots in ISoC , paying
$500 for them. Bojd enlisted In the union
nrmy In the civil war and was killed. His
family did not learn of his purchase of the
property until 1890. Meanwhile Mr. Her

lots is based upon adverse possession and n
statement that no purchase price was over
paid by Boyd.

Some miscreant who was passing
our store on Wednesday night had the
audacity to steal the thermometer from
the front of our store. Wo are sorry to
lose Iho temperature teller , but'-wo
can't blame thu poor fellow who carried
it away. Just rrtsrrfc our show window
Iris oyua fell upon out5 of our $3.75 ul
ster ovtrcoats with high storm cottar > x-
Ira length , good and warm , all buttoned
up closely around a form. The poor fel
low , no doubt , made up his mind that
the difference between a cold man and a
warm dummy was too great , so lie re
marked to himself , "It's aco/rfdny when
I got left , " and coolly proceeded to carry
the thermometer -away. Of course it
f isn't ' risr/ifshould have been left. It shows
how litttk money it takes to keep
warm. We are making a special
I1 effort just now to make it easy to
got an cvcrcoa-t or ulster way be
low the real value. We are mak
ing room for spring clothing. The
prices have never been so inviting
for the man who wants to invest a
