-The republican state committee In Its
Initial meeting of the campaign tonight,

various communities, elected a atate execu
tlre committee and attended to other mat
ter preliminary to the contest. At the
Invitation of Chairman Lindsay the elate
and congressional nominee! end congres
sional district chairmen attended the con
lerence. It was voud to maintain the
tate headquarters In Lincoln, at the Lln
dell hotel. The executive committee, con
flating of one member from each congres
sional district, was appointed by Chairman
Lindsay, on authority .given by the state
committee, It follows: First, J. C. Sea
crest, Lincoln; Second, Victor Rose water,

briefly. Besides the. state nominees tbero
were present E. J. Burkett of the First
district, J. J. McCarthy of the Third, Judge
Norrla of the Fifth, and Moses P. Kinkald
of the Sixth.
Chairman Lindsay spoke of the work be
fore the committee and made several sug
gestions regarding organization and other
features, J
The reports from the Various districts
Were optimistic, every member of the com
mittee being confident .of republican gains
la his own locality.
J. H. Mickey spoke In a few well chosen
words, promising to do all In his power
for a complete republican victory.
Work for Boyd County Settlers.
Sanford Parker of Boyd county, repre
senting contesting homesteaders of that
county. Is striving to induce Commissioner
'Follmer to sign the state's deed to the
disputed land. The State Board of Edu
cational Lands and Funds, at a meeting
held In April, authorized the governor to
deed the land back to' the general govern
ment. This action was, taken In accord
ance with an act passed by the last legis
lature. Mr. Follmer claims the lands are
the property of the state, legally and
rightfully, and therefore withholds his sig
nature from the Instrument.
Mr. Flick called at the land commis
sioner's office this afternoon, but Mr. Foll
mer was absent and no progress was made.
He expects to take the case up later and
push It to a final and speedy settlement.
. Senator Dietrich was In Lincoln today
conferring with political friends and at
tending to matters of private interest.
This afternoon he met J. H. Mickey In
consultation and discussed the guberna
torial situation, giving him the benefit of
knowledge gained In one campaign for the
. executive chair. The senator called at the
various offices at ths statehouae end to
night was prominent among the visiting
republican leaders and workers.
Senator Dietrich said the only probable
' solution of the Cuban question is through
treaty."'" He did not think, ' however, that
the senate would be reassembled In special
session for the purpose of ratifying such a
measure.;
' Fine Crop Prospects.
Reports coming to Lincoln of the condi
tion of crops throughout the state are of
a decidedly optimistic , nature. Some sec
' tlons'-faave suffered from the heavy rains,
but' ths general percentage of damage Is
small.
"All Indications point to the biggest
crops In the history of the state," said
C. F. Robertson of Omaha this afternoon.
Mr. Robertson . has completed a trip
through the Elkhorn valley, the eastern
and central and southeastern sections of
the state, and he speaks from actual ob
servations ''There undoubtedly has been damage on
the so-called bottom lands, but it Is a
well-known tact that we haven't much of
that kind of land In the state. Practically
all of the small grain la harvested and
farmers say It Is in good condition. The
corn seems to be growing rapidly and
with a few mors rains that crop will be
assured."
The dismissal of Charles B. Hayward
upon bis own recognizance this afternoon
is probably ths closing event In the prose
cution for the murder of John J. Olllllan
Hayward had been held in custody since
October. He made several unsuccessful at
tempts to gain freedom by the filing of
a bond, and finally, as a last resort, hi
attorney prepared for the institution of
habeas corpus proceedings. It was par
tlally to head off this suit and partially
because there Is no direct or conclusive
evidence against ths man that the county
attorney moved for the dismissal.
The police authorities thought several
weeks ago that they had evidence that
would convict both Hayward and Balrd,
but the star witness failed in the Identi
fication. . Balrd was released after a pre
liminary trial. Hayward says he may stay
In the city, but It Is more than likely that
he will make haste to get beyond the
jurisdiction of the officers.
Food .Commissioner Baaaett has Issued
permits to several merchants who were
active in the prosecution of the recent ease
to have the food law declared unconstl-
tutlonal. The application of these mer-
ehants Is taken as an Indication that there
will be no further opposition to ths law.
Permits were Issued today to the Allen
Produce 'company and Charles Harding of
Omaha, ths Lincoln Vinegar works and the
;Hewmatt Orove Butter sad Egg company.
The Stat Board of Agriculture met to
night, after Inspecting the fair grounds, and
Mnsldered matters pertaining to the forth
doming exposition. An Invitation was ex-
leaded to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
- and W, J. Bryan to speak at the fair on

NO GENERAL STRIKE
(Continued from First Page.)
this convention to draft an address to the
American people setting forth in proper
form the policy of the miners' organiza
tion and appealing to the people to bring
all possible pressure to bear on the officers
and stockholders of the anthracite coal
carrying railroads to compel them to treat
considerately the appeals of their employes
lor arbitration.
The speech was greeted with great ap
plause from both anthracite and bituminous
miners.
Ryan Makes Motion..
President Ryan of the Illinois miner
at once offered a motion, which was
promptly seconded, that the recommenda
tion, b adopted. The question was Just
being put, when a delegat arose to ask
for Information, and then began the de
bate which continued until adjournment.
Many speeches were made, thoss in favor
of the recommendations of President
Mitchell being in the ratio of three to one,
compared to those against..
Upon motion of John Dempsey, secretary
of District No. 1, of the anthracite dis
trict, an adjournment was then taken until
10 o clock Friday to enable the anthracite
men to hold the caucus. At a caucus of the
Illinois delegation tonight it was deter
mined to oppose any general strike. It
wa alio decided to stand by ths recom
mendation or President Mitchell with the
exception of the one declaring In favor
of an assessment of $1 per week on mem
ber of the union. This assessment should,
the Illinois men declare, be made on a per
centage basis and Illinois will make a
fight tor this.
Ohio tonight took action similar to that
of Illinois. The Iowa miners held a caucus
In the evening and decided to uphold th
action of President Mitchell.
Strike Ont of the toeetloa. .
The action of the caucuses tonight makes
a general strike practically out of the ques
tion, as the anthracite men- cannot carry
their point without the aid of Illinois and
with that state and Iowa and Ohio against
them, there Is no apparent manner In which
a strike can be ordered.
The meeting of the anthracite mlnere
held after the adjournment of the conven
tion resulted In nothing but the conclusion
that there was no way In which a strike
could be forced and that those members
of the anthracite districts .who were
anxious for a strike would be disappointed.
There was a long conference and a vote
waa decided upon, but when It was par
tially taken It was seen that the reault
would be so strong In upholding the recom
mendations of President Mitchell that the
vote waa not considered. While there Is
an element among the anthracite men, that
Is greatly disappointed it "la not likely that
any fight will be made upon the floor of
the convention.
President Mitchell said tonight:
I am greatly pleased with the outcome
of work done by the convention eo far,
and I have no doubt that the policy out
lined In my speech today will be carried
out substantially. Some minor changes
may be made, but the policy as a whole
will be followed by the convention, I am
certain. ,
QUEER PHENOMENON "ON LAKE

of drowning.

dicated a sudden high pressure, followed by
an equally sudden drop. A wave of heavy
atmospberlo preasure passed over the city,
and a It struck ths lake, moving from west
to eaat. the water was pushed back. With
the pressure released the wave came rush

to me the conviction that the grandeur
and power of the great republic is re
pected ani? recognised wherever civilisa

based slone upon a regard for our ma
terial prosperity, commercial greatness or
our liberal Institutions, but In a measure
upon the prowess of our soldiers and
sailors. '
Having served more than forty-one years
with the men who carry rifles, I can as
sure my companions of the civil war that
the American soldier of today Is -the
worthy descendant of the men who fought

not be surprised and will meet every
expectation of his countrymen.

rjrst Installment of This Tsar's Tax
- - Beoombs Due Ootober 1. .
LIQUOR DEALERS FEELING THEIR LOSS
They Are Expected to Enter Some
Kind of Protest Against Enforce
ment of Mayor Kontaky's
Snadny Closing; Order.
T! 4lrt Installment of the 1902 tax. Just
Uviad hv the - cltv council, becomes due
on October 1 and becomes delinquent on
January 1. As for the secona installment,
It tall due on April 1 and becomes de
linquent June 80. This provision of the
new cherter wa inserted ny me cnaner
hniMara with a view to making the pay
ment of taxes easier on those who are
building and paying for their homes.
Last year, in a great many instances, tne
niir. tax waa Dald by the small property
owner during the fall months, while the
corporations took advantage of the two
payment clause. The plan, however, ap
pear to be satisfactory to the city of
ficial and all who desire may take advan
tage ot It.
with mnnev available now It Is expected
that Treasurer Howe, as soon as he can
get around to it, will Issue a call for war
rants In order to put a atop to tne pay
ment of Interest.
While there Is money on hand now, the
running expenses of the . city are con
tantlv on the Increase and the appro
priation will not pay any of the overlap
which has been accumulating for years.
Those who are familiar witn tne nnaociai
condition of the city assert that the best
thing to do la to kvsue bonds this fall for
150,000 to take up the overlap. Banners
aav that such bonds would sell tor from
. to 6 per cent and In case ot 5 per cent
bonds a premium would be paid.
This question Is to be taken up shortly
and discussed in order to lay the matter
properly before the people. More than
likely the proposition to vote bonds to pay
the- overluD would not come up before the
regular election In November.
FlaaalnsT a Remonstrance.
it r.nnrted last night that the liquor
dealers In South Omaha are making prepara
tions to remonstrate against 'ne continu
ance of Mayor Koutsky'a Sunday closing
order. Eighty-eight aloons ars now In
operation In this city and It is estimated
that an average of 830 Is taken In every
Sunday by each. This Is really considered
a low average, as some of the larger placea
rup as high as 860 to 875. One brewery
altne lost the sale of seventy-five barrels
of beer last Sunday. One dealer said that
nnt than 83.000 waa spent in Omaha
and adjoining resort last' Sunday which
would have been put in circulation her
had It not been for the mayor's closing
order. ' Just what the liquor dealers pro
nna tatlo is not known, but a plan is being
arranged .whereby they can retaliate.
' Claim Tamed Dowa.
About the middle of June Louis' Zadlna
filed a claim tor 8600 agalnat the city, al
leging damages to his property at Thirty
sixth and U streets. He alleges that owing
to an overflow of water bls cellar caved In

tion: "I have carefully gone, over the

reason ot which the water has run Into
his cellar or boiler Jlt. Jf Mr. Zadlna had
graded his property prior' to erecting his
buildings there - would have been no
damage."
