egram. ) Eugene Lutz , a well-known at
torney1 , nnd A. D. Brauner , a traveling sales
man , were arrested today nnd locked In
separate cells at the policestation. . They
arc held under two charges ot conspiracy
and extortion. This Is llie.outcomo ot the
trouble between Brauncr and the Sioux
City Brewing company. He necured seven
injunctions against saloons where Sioux City
beer was sold , and It Is charged by the
brewing company , which secured the ar
rests , that It Is a blackmailing process , because -
cause Brauncr had been discharged from Its
employ.
The men have been working together for
some tlmo against the saloons , nnd two
saloon men eay they have been obliged
to pay them money to keep out of
court. The liquor dealers ot Sioux City
have organized to prosecute these cases ,
Lutz has practiced law hero for a number
of years. The present trouble may result
In hid disbarment from practice In the
courts of Iowa , If ho Is convicted , Ho Is
out on bond , but Brauncr Is still in jail.
District Judge Dickinson bos refused to
transfer the liquor Injunction cases under
the ntnte mulct law , to the federal court.
lie admits that the constitutional point
made by the defense Is a close one. These
cases arc likely to bo tested In some other
way.

LE.MARS , la. , Nov. 25. ( Special. ) A
A fancy bazar wna given by the Episcopal
women of the city this week. The principal
feature was a remembrance table.- All for
mer parishioners whose addrcssca could beget
got v/CTo levied upon for contributions. As
St. George's church was founded by the once
famous Iowa English colony , tho. result of
the canvass was Interesting. Glfte came
pouring In 'from all directions. A highly
prized momenta wns a postage stamp and
cancellation mark cut from a letter mailed
In Ladysmlth and eont out -with the very
last pent which left the besieged city In
South Africa. Among those who sent gifts
were : Robert Maclagan , 28 Stafford street ,
Edinburgh , Scotland , a nephew of the arch
bishop of Canterbury ; Frank Carver , Man
chester , England ; J. G. Watson , formerly of
Calcutta and London , nnd now ot Chicago ;
A. Hutchlnson Sturgls , London , England ,

Emily C. Magulre , Dublin , Ireland ; Mrs.
W. II. Dent , Chicago ; Mrs. Arthur Gee ,
England ; Miss Lllla D. Bonney , Newark ,
N. J. ; Miss Evelyn Rocke , England.
Altogether several hundred remembrance
cards were sent out by the bazar man
agers. A number of names on the early
parishioners' roll were conspicuous by their
absence on the table. For Instance , tbo name
ot the earl of Buckinghamshire , who was
Lord 'Hobart , when ho owned a farm near
Lemars ; Pagct , who married the brilliant
Mlsa Whitney , leader of the young society
set in Now York and Newport ; W. Farqu-
har , who married a Chicago heiress , but
spends most of his * tlmo mow In England.
The women were disappointed at noi having
these and other prominent names In pioneer
Iowa history on their table.

Minor * Slur Strike.
OTTUMWA , la. , Nov. 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) There Is a probability of a general
strike among the coal miners In District
No. 13 , embracing all of Iowa and part ot
Missouri. The executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America was In
session hero today , but no action wna taken.
The meetings were held behind closed doora
nnd the proceedings as far as possible have
been made eecrct. The conservative minors
favor complying with an agreement which
they have with the operators In regard to
the wage scale and which docs not expire
until April 1 , 1900 , but there arc many
miners who want to demand an Increase
In tbo scale at once In view ot the great
Inctcaeo in the price ot coal.

censed the people of the country that they
have been considering tbo matter of divid
ing the township.

' " ' "
BU8incfl3''raen"all over Uio city noem tc
have been awakened by the meeting ot the
Commercial club Friday night. The enthu
siasm displayed proved Infectlvo and yes
terday nearly everyone on the streets was
talking Improvements. In connection with n
proper place for club meetings. D. S. Clark
makes the suggestion that a building be
created on a side street near the center ol
the city to bo used as a meeting place ( ot
the club , and also ns on auditorium. Mr.
Clark figures that a structure such as bo has
In mind can bo built for $3.000 , with $1,000
additional for the land. His plan Is to eo-
curpjono hundred men who will agree to sub-
scrl'bo $10 each In the enterprise. This will
make $4,000. which , It Is estimated , will be
sufficient to purchase ground and erect a
building.
Mr. Clark ecems to think that the big cor
porations hero will bo willing to take one or
more shares In the proposed concern , and II
this Is done there Is no doubt that the um
mentioned can bo raised. It Is suggested that
a special comrnlttco bo appointed to solicit
subscriptions , and this will most likely be
considered by the directors ot the club at an
early date.
In connection with the rooms for the Com
mercial club It Is suggested that a portion of
the building bo set asldo for social purposes
and perhaps be rented to the South Omaha
club. A one-story structure Is considered
sufficient by the projectors of this move
ment. Permanent club rooms will mean the
appointment of an assistant secretary who
will devote all bis tlmo to the business of
the club and make a specialty of enter-
talnTug visitors who arc hero looking for n
location.
The main room or auditorium can bo
rented to conventions , etc. , and thus a
revenue bo derived which will assist ma
terially In paying the running expensed. Be
sides the packers and stock yards , It la
figured" that the railroads running In here
will be willing1 to contribute to the erection
and maintenance of such a building. Then
como the banks and business houses. Fol
lowing thcso will bo subscriptions from
public-spirited citizens. Taking all these
sources of revenue Into consideration It Is
thought that there will be little or no dif
ficulty In securing the $4,000 which It la esti
mated will bo needed for the building.
Another point to be taken up at once Is
the Issuing of a prospectus. Very few people
ple who Hvo hero are able to tell off-hand
what the value of the live stock marketed
here Is. When Bruce .MeCulloch made the
statement that last year $37,000,000 worth oi
live stock was sold hero the eyes of many
members of the club Opened with surprise.
Aside from Issuing a fine prospectus with
Illustrations and statistics , It has been sug
gested that a small folder bo gotten out with
a view to having each business man enclose
the same with hie letters. In this way
South Omaha -would be advertised all ovei
the country and at very little expense. AJ
the business transacted hero this year ex
ceeds that of last year , It Is probable that
the Issuing of a folder will be put off until
after January 1 , when figures for 1899 can
be obtained.
Demnnil for Exhibition Pavilion.
For some time South Omaha business men ,
and especially commission merchants , have
endeavored to attract breeders of fancy cat
tle to this point , but owing to the poor fa
cilities for public sales here breeders objecl
to coming. At the last large sale of finely
bred cattle a portion of the horse- and mule
'bara ' at the stock yards was used for the
sale , but Its capacity proved entirely Inade
quate , besides being dark and gloomy. Plane
for a fine pavilion for the sale of fancy stock
were prepared by the stock yards company
a year or more ago and exhibited to com
mission men and owners of fancy stock , but
that was the end of It. No pavilion has been
built and those who are Interested In this
matter are greatly disappointed. The ques
tion Is being asked why the stock yards com
pany docs not go ahead and erect the pa
vilion as contemplated and announced ?
A meeting of the directors of the stock
yards company will bo held on December 11
and it Is the Intention of a number of these
Interested In seeing a good fancy stock mar
ket here to address the directors on the sub
ject ot erecting a suitable pavilion far sales.
The management worked hard this year tryIng -
Ing to get breeders of good stock to como
here , but most of the efforts proved futile ,
as owners of fine herds preferred to go to
markets where suitable accommodations
were offered. It Is hoped that the directors
of the stock yards company may at the
meeting next month authorize the manage
ment to erect a pavilion for the sale and ex
hibition of fancy stock.

IIUGIHTT ANNOUNCES 1'IIO.MOTIOXS.
John M. Whitman nml AVI I Hum A.
Riinlner Given Ilctter John.
CHICAGO , Nov. 2ii. Two Important pro
motions were announced today by President
Marvin Hiighltt of the Chicago & North
western railroad. John M. Whitman , pres
ent general manager , Is appointed to the
position of fourth vlco president , a newly
created office , William A. Gardner , assistant
general superintendent. Is appointed to the
position left vacant 'by ' ( Mr. Whitman. The
latter will have charge of construction ot
proprietary roads nnd branch lines and gen
eral Improvements of the property of the
Northwestern system. He will also have
charge of the management and development
of Ita coal properties. The appointments
are effective November 30.
Mr. Whitman has boon connected with tha
Northwestern company for upward of twenty
years , holding the position of general man.
agcr since 1897.
Mr. Gardner entered the railway service
as telegraph operator In 1873 , when he was
but 14 years of ago. His first service with
the Chicago & Northwestern was In 1878 ,
since which tlmo he has continuously been
connected with that company In the capacity
of train dispatcher , trainmaster , assistant
superintendent , division superintendent und
assistant general superintendent , with the
exception of a period of two years , when ho
was connected with the Atchison , Topeka &
Santa Fe railway , as trainmaster.
This change places the operating ot the
road In charge of Mr , Gardner : the trafllo
department remaining In charge of H , It.
McCuilough , third vice prcoldent and general
trafllo manager , and It is something of a
coincidence that in 1874 Mr. McCuilough was
employed In the local freight office of the
Illinois Central railroad an waybill clerk ,
while Mr. Gardner was in the employ of the
company as telegraph operator. It Is bo- >
llevcd that Mr , McCuilough and Mr , Gardner
nro two of the youngest In the country boldIng -
Ing positions of fluch responsibility as thooo
they now occupy. The prediction Is made
that the entire management of tbo entire t
Northwestern system will ultimately fall
upon tbulr shoulders.
