At the regular fortnightly meeting of nhi
Central Labor union last night in Labo :
temple the following resolution protcstlni
agalnkt the hludran-c-e interposed bytbi
commisiloners of Lancaster county to Com
mlssloner Sidney 3. Kent in collecting sta
tlEtlcs was unanimously passed :
Whereas , There is a conrerled effort beinj
made by the county commissioners of Lancaster -
caster county , and other counties In Ne
iraska , to prevent the collection of agri
cultural and industrial stutlbtius , to thi
Kreat detriment of the state , and ,
Whereas , Such action Is evidently a con-
uplracy to dlbcredit the Department of Labor -
bor and Statistics of Nebraska , by matins
Its well planned work a failure : and ,
Whereas , Such failure to benefit the stati
must ultimately result in abolishing the do-
partrnent , to the great detriment of organ'
ized labor ; therefore.
Resolved , That we call upon all labor or
ganizations and all friends of union labo :
to protest against the action of the sale
commissioners of Lancaster county in di'
reeling their aw-ebsars to refuse to collec
the statistics desired by the commissione :
of latior and statistics and if need be t <
use their votes to drive out of office am
rower any and all such officials as refusi
to co-operate In the very necessary worl
of the Department of Labor and Stalls
tics.
tics.Four delegates were obligated. The
were : L. B. Guye , J. II. Sullivan and J
Ryan from the Barbers' union and A. 1
Llnquest from the Wood Workers' assoeia

port on the trouble "between " the brewer
workers and their employers , announced thn
certain propositions with a view to immc
dlate sctllement had been submitted to th
brewery workers and favorably received b
them , BO that a satisfactory agreement woul
be reached next week.
A communication from the national as
eo-clatlon was read relating to nho convic
labor law. It conveyed the informatlo
that the Industrial commission recently nj
pointed by President MzKinley Intended t
exert Its influence to have this state adoj
the New York law and requested the unio
to protest against the adoption , recon
mending instead a law providing that tb
employment of convicts be limited to coi
BtructlOn work , such as roads , etc. Tk
New York lawpermils the use of convii
labor in the manufacture of coramodltic
V used In the state institutions , but it is bt
lleved to be for the 'best interests of o :
gauiied labor not to penult the employmei
of convicts even in state factories.

horse , running at a hard gallop , envung the
\ehicle in which tbe women were driving
against a telegraph pole , dashing tbe occu

Mrs. Peaclnger and her daughter wore on
their way to attend an entertainment in
Crelghton hall when tbp accident occurred.
Shortly before crossing Twenty-fourth street
at Farnam , the weight of the surrey. It be

straps to break , throwing the shafts above
the horse's head.
Tbe animal became frightened and started
to run. Increasing his spend as the surrey

TELEPHONES FOR SCHOOLS

Telephones will tie put back into the
thirty-nine school buildings If the Board of
Education adopts a resolution introduced by
Hess at iu > meeting last Monday night.
This resolution instructed a committee to
see the management of the telephone com
pany for the purpose of learning what rates
can be secured for a ono or five-year lease
of the instruments.
Member Hess desired to have the tele
phones put into the public schools as a
means of fire protection. When he Intro
duced his resolution he declared thai there
is no means better than the telephone In
giving an alarm of fire. He declared that
the school buildings aie at present very
Inadequately protecied in this respect , tie-
cause the fire alarm boxes are in many
cases situated far away.
About a year ago the board considered
the advisability of placing telephones In
tbe * choolfi , but it did nothing because the
telephone company refused to cut the regu
lar rate for them. This is 14 a month , the
figure at which the lioard rooms are sup
plied with the instruments. Hess says , how
ever , that the company is prepared to do
better now.

HAVANA , April J ] The appreciative
message of General Lee to the Seventh Army
corps on the ocrasion of its muster-out was
In full as follows :
The order has been received which mtives
the last regiment of the Seventh corps across
the sea to be mustered out of the service of
the United States The ranks of Its organi
sation aie forevur broken The record made
by the OHlc-ers aud men will be forever pre
served. The paces of military history of
their country will inscribe the deeds of no
troops who won a greater reputation foi
discipline , drill and wanly discharge of duty ,
soldleilj conduct and cheerful obedience to
all orders.
The president's assurance , had the war
with Spain continued , that the Seventh corps
would have been selected to lead the assault
upon the Havana lines , proves that the corps
possessed tbo confidence of the cointuander-
in-chief of the army and navy , a confidence
shared by hi * , fellow countrymen.
It is Gratifying to review the career and
remember the harmony which existed among
the -10,000 soldiers who answered the roll call
at Tainpa. Jacksonville , Savannah and Cuba
Whether It weie the volunteers , who after
ward nt varioub times broke ranks and : c-
suined the duties of American citizeufchlp. or
the regulars , whose standards are still Hying
and who are now the advance sentinelt of
American progress and civiliratlon. soldiers
of the north and south took the mushlne and
storm of camp together and marc-hed Bide by
side under one flag , in one cause , for one
country.
Their cordial support and unviirving 1 > ud-
nesb to the corps commander will be gr-aip-
fully cherished , and though his mil turv r > n-
