LINCOLN, Sept. 16. (Special.) "Joo"
Sovereign, formerly grand master workman
of thu Knights of Labor, and now acting as
a professional agitator for tho populist na
tional committee In this city, has been In
communication for several days with Pres
ident Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America and It Is learned on reliable
authority that he used tho Influence of tho
committee In a frantic endeavor to provoke
the strike in the anthracite coal regions.
Vice Chairman Kdmlsten aided Sovereign
In the attempt iind for several hours
Thursday uvrnlng ono wire between Indian
apolis and Lincoln wns kept allvn with the
messages that passed between Mitchell and
tho national committee officers In this city.
What real effect tho efforts of Sovereign
and Kdmlsten had on tho situation In the
east cannot, of course, bo determined, but
It Is known that Immediately after they
opened communication with President
Mitchell the Indications for a general strlku
became mora npparent and pronounced,
while previous to that time thcro were
good reasons for believing that tho mine
owners and workers would soon adjust their
differences.
.Mute House SilKRrntn It.
In attempting to provoke the strike Sov
ereign acted on tho friendly suggestion of
one of the beneficiaries of tho popocratlc
administration, made during the course of
a conversation lit tho Llndell hotel In this
ity early Thursday evening. Several by
standers overheard the conversation and
assert that no effort was made to conceal
the real subject of their discussion. Sov
ereign was sitting alone when tho state
house man and another political friend
approached and sat down beside him. After
they had been together a few minutes the
state house man said:
"It seems to me. Joe, thut our committee
ought to do something to urge on that
strike In tho coal fields. It would be
great political capital for our fellows If
we could bring on some labor trouble. You
stand doner to those miners than anyone
else connected with the committee; why
can't you push 11?"
Sovereign seemed surprised at the rc-
marks of his friend, but after meditating
a few sccouds he replied:
"It never occurred to me before. It's a
good scheme and I think you're right In
saying that I am in a better position
to do the work than anyone clso connected
with the committee. Mitchell Is tho man
to go to and I'll telegraph him tonight
"Well, now don't delay that. Joo, for I
sec by the morning papers mat thero Is a
good prospect for tho differences between
the mine owners nnd the laboring men
being adjusted," retorted the state house
man. "As a matter of fuct, you would
bo doing those worklngmen a Kindness by
bringing on tho strike. They are poorly
paid and dcrfecvo recognition by our party.
It would help us all over the country and
give us something to talk about."
"Whcro Is Kdmlsten?" then naked Sov
erelgn as he became morn enthusiastic
over tho plan, "perhaps ho can help us.
Tho three populists then arose and
started for Vice Chairman Edmlsten's office
on tho third floor of the building. The
next person that entered Kdmlsten's office
vns a telegraph messenger boy and when
he left the hotel he carried a message dl
rccted to a man In Indianapolis.

Attorney General Smyth took another
step today toward delaying the hearing
of the Standard Oil trust case until after
the expiration of his term of oillce, which
he hopes to accomplish through an exten
sion of the time allowed for llllng tho
findings of the referees. The case Is set
for hearing at the next sitting of court,
but, is the referees have not completed
their work, It must iiocwHsarlly be delayed.
In connection with his motion for an ex
tension of time the attorney general asks
tho court to Issue an order empowering
him to investigate and examine the af
fairs Hnd books of tho Standard Oil com
pany In this state. A motion was also
filed for an extension of tho timo ul lowed
for riling the findings of the referees In
tho case of the State of Nebraska against
tho I'nlon Pacific Kallroad company.
Should the Standard Oil trust ense go
over to the January term of court It would
be nocessary to retnlnsAttorncy General
Smyth because of his knowledge of tho
action. Deputy Attorney General Old
ham, tho fi'slon candlduto for tho ofllce,
lias taken no part In tho trust and rail
road litigation nnd probably would not bo
prepared to carry It on without some as
sistance. Governor Poynter today honored a roqul
sltln from Governor Stanley of Kansas for
the return of James Davis, wanted in At
bison county. Kansas, to answer to the
barge of robbery In tho first degree.
DavlB gave himself up to Sergeant Whalen
In Omaha Wednesday nfteriioou und was
placed under arrest. The crime for which
Davis Is hehl to answer Is that of train
lobbery committed In Atchison.
Miles' Will rime.
The well known Miles will contest case
has been appealed to tho supremo court.
Tho suit was originally brought In the
name of the heirs of the estato of Stephen
II. Miles, tho object being to brenk the
will executed by tho man u few years be
fore be died. According to Its terms he
bequeathed practically all of his prop
erty, valued at several millions of dollars,
to his son. Joseph II. Miles. Samuel A.
Miles, another son, contends that thero was
a later will which divided the estate
equally between them. The trial court
found In favor of Joseph H. Miles and from
tills judgment the other son has appealed.
A larger estate Is Involved In this ease
than In nuy suit ever brought before the
nupremo court.

here today nnd nominated liana Wlesc of
Wood HUcT. democrat, and William Thomp.
son of Alda township, Independent (post
office Grand Islcnd), as candidates for rep
resentatives anil J. W. Edgcrton, populist,
of Grand Island for county attorney.
The populist convention was a stormy
one, some of the democratic stecrers being
too much In a hurry to carry out demo
cratlc'orders. In doing this they stirred
up some of tho delegates who still felt a
little Individuality and criminations of
dictator, cliques nnd ring were openly
made. .Tho democrats named supervisor
and assessor tickets, naming a German In
evory case.
WKST POINT. Neb., Sept. 15. (Special
Telegram.) Tho Cuming county demo
cratic convention met hero this afternoon
nnd renominated Fred 1). Hunker of West
Point for county attorney for n third term.
Mr. Hunker Is nn able attorney and has
filled the ofllco for two terms satisfactorily.
He Is as strong n man as the democrats
could put up, but the third term feature
will prove his political downfall. For
representative from this county Henry
Schlnstock was nominated. He Is a stock
and grain buyer af this place and here
tofore has held aloof from politics. The
convention was addressed at some length
by Hon. T. M. Franz, but the old tltno en
thusiasm which has always characterized
the conventions of this party was no
ticeably absent.
YOUK, Neb., Sept. 15. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho York county fusion convention
met today In the court house here, electing
W. J. Russell chairman of tho populist I
convention Dave Zimmerman did not have
the courage to make the run again for the
hoiiHo nnd declined the nomination for rep
resentative. Herman Dlers, populist; of
Gresham and Charles M. Smith, free Bllver
republican, of McCool Junction were nom
inated for members of the house. Charles
Keckly of York wan Indorsed for the semito,
which means that he will be the nominee.
One farmer delegate was rash enough to
offer a motion to have some nominee of
tho convention stand up aud pledge himself
that he would not ncccpt a railroad pass.
Thero was no second.
The Kansas City platform was endorsed
nnd the usual resolutions adopted, but no
mention was made of Dr. Lang, one of the
leaders of tho fusion party In York county.
ALBION. Neb.. Sept. 15. (Special Tele
gram.) The populists held their county,
convention here today for the purpose of
nominating a representative and county at
torney. Kvery precinct was represented and
the best feeling prevailed. F. M. Sllllck.
chairman, opened tho meeting by stating
tbnt the republicans expected u fight In the
convention, but that they would be disap
pointed. An Informal ballot was then taken for rep
resentative, which showed flvo candidates In
the Held. The first formal ballot showed
only three, viz: Kd Hull of St. Kdward.
Charles Preusser of Petersburg and Ivor
Ilygland of Shell Croek. On the third bal
lot Charles Preusser was nominated.
Judge Campbell then mado an appeal for
money to run tho campaign, resulting In a
hat collection of $54. This was followed by
nine ballots for county attorney with flvo

NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Sept. 15. (Special
Telegram.) Thn following message was re
ceived by Sheriff Kelliher about 11 a. in.
today
LINCOLN. Neli.. Sept. 15. The Schlatter-iran-Ertz
theory of train robbery seems to
be cntlrelv exploded. Please extend Ibis In
formation a inilcli as you ennveiuenuy can.
T. I AltV I'ild i
General Superintendent.
Tho messago related to two men living
In tho western part of this county, each of
whom was suspected of being tho person
who robbed tho Uurllngton train near
Halgler last Wednesday morning. It
relieves tho two men, L. P. Schlatterman
nnd Frank Ertz, from all suspicion of par
ticipation or complicity In tho robbory.
Tho only thing which seems to have
aroused tho belief that Schlatterman and
Ertz wero tho guilty men Is the fact that
they wero seen near Wallace, In the south
west part ot tho county, about sunrise on
Wednesday morning, gnlng north toward
Sutherland. This Information was tolo
graphed to railroad headquarters at Lin
coln and the officials have since been work
ing on the supposition that ono of the men
was the lone robber and the other his as
slstant, or that both were the accomplices
of tho mnn who went through thu train nnd
relieved tho passengers of their valuables.
Sherllf Kelliher was of tho opinion that
neither of tho men could hnvo been con
cerned In thu affair from tho fact that the
robbery occurred about 2 o'clock In tho
morning, while Schlatterman and Ertz were
seen only four hours Inter more than ninety
miles from Hnlgler. In order to have
covered this distance they would have had
to ride nt a rate of more than twenty rolles
per hour over tho rougest kind of coun
try. The two meu claim that they were return
ing from n trip to Elsie, where Schlatter
man's mother owns a ranch, when thoy
wero seen on tho road near Wallace. While
this fact has not been positively estab
lished there Is no reason to doubt the
story, as the horses which thoy rode were
the ensuing week.
