August 11, 1804, v SITUATION IN THE WEST. Shops All Closod West of Cheyenne but Business Continues to Improve. J. H. McConuell, superintendent of motive power and machinery of the Union Pacific, has returned from a tour of inspection over the system. He reports everything swim- ming along nicely and no trouble anywhere. Nene of the company’s shops, however, are running west of Cieyenne. All the men discharged, so deserving, have been furnished with transportation to the end of the line. Many of them absolutely refused to work and the shops were shut up. At a number of places along the line they were given the opportunity to go to work again, but in many places they all refused; but neverthe- less the company is getting along most satis- factorily with ‘the movement and having no trouble or hindrance in any form west of Cheyenne to Huntington, in the Wyoming and Idaho divisions. “Quite a number of men have left for other points. The effect of the action of those who, in obedience to their respective organizations, quit work,” observed General Manager Dickinson, *“was to effectually stop the company's source of revenue and made it impossible for the recelvers to earn money with which to pay them. Troops are still stationed at Laramie, Ogden, Pocatello, Rawlins, Evanston, Lima and Butte. At the latter place only has the force been re- duced, four companies coming in from that point this morning.” Booming the Hot Springe. Big reductions of fare to Hot Springs, S. D., have been made by the Northwestern, one fare mow settling for the round trip. Tickets on sale on Friday of each week, with a limit of fifteen days.

Enters un Emphatic Dental. In regard to the telegraphic charges that the Union Pacific is demoralizing the Pacific coast passenger trade, General Passenger Agent Lomax emphatically denies cogni- zance of any such charges. Nothing in this respect has been received at headquarters here and it is regarded as simple buncomb. The Union Pacific never has, nor does in any manner intermeddle with the Pacific coast business, and the allegations are made from whole cloth. Cooklug Up Excursion Rates. A meeting of the representatives of the Nebraska lines was held in General Passenger Agent Francis' office yesterday for the purpose of considering rates for summer and fall excursions. All the passen- ger men of the city were on hand, and from the way they were billing and cooing it is to bo presumed that they cooked things up about right. Trumbull Gets Another.

August 11, 1894, Short Police Stories A eomplaint has been filed with the police, accusing the boys of the western part of the city with bathing in a pool at Forty- sixth and Parker streets, to the great an- noyance of people residing fn that vicinity. The mounted officers will lay for and arrest the bathers. E. F. Sheafe, a rental agent, writes the chief of police that boys and men are travel- ing about the city, stealing doors and win- dows from unoccupied houses, and at the same time tearing out the lead pipe and plumbing. He asks for protection. The chief has issued an order to the day and night men, Instructing them to arrest all parties found lotering about vacant dwel- lings or store buildings. When Lally, the pickpocket, was arrested Chief Scavey was of the opinion that the man was wanted In Chicago, and at once wrote the officials of that city.” Yesterday the chief received a reply to his letter, the in- formation being that the man was not needed in the city by the lake, as he had pald the penalty for the crime which he had com- mitted, having been arrested in 1888 and sent to the penitentiary for a term of four years. Byron Grant, a man 55 years of age, re- siding at 1004 North Twenty-second street, left his home Friday morning, telling his wife that he was coming down town to hunt for work. He had not returned at noon yes- terday, and his wife feels sure that he has met with some accident, or else that he has been foully dealt with. When leaving the house he stated that he would return in a couple of hours. Mr. Grant was not ad- dicted to drink, and his family relations were very pleasant. ———— CLAN GORDON EXCURSION. August 11, 1894, R Bound to Have a Lawsult. The case wherein Frank J. Kromadka charged James Kavanaling, Anton Francel and Frank Dwarack with robbing him of a gold watch while all of the men were in a South Thirteenth street saloon was disposed of yesterday. After hearing the eyidence and the arguments the police judge ordered a dismissal of the defendants, holding that there was nothing to connect them with the robbery, providing one had been committed, a thing which he doubted. Not satisfied with the termination of the sult, Kromadka at once filed an_informa- tion’ charging the defendants with assault and battery. On this they were tried and Kavanaling and_Francel convicted, the for- mer being fined $6 and the latter $3 and costs, Dwarack being discharged. This, how- ever, is not the end of the trouble, as now. the three men who have been the defendants will file an information charging Kromadka with perjury, in that he ‘swore to things which were untrue when he was on the witness stand giving testimony in the alleged robbery case.

July 4 was the original date set for the fifth annual pien) and Caledonian games of Clan Gordon, No. 63, Order of Scottish Clans, but on account of the strike post- ponement had to be made. The date has again been decided upon and on next Saturday, August 11, the Scotchmen of this part of the country will go to the highlands of Blalr and enjoy themselves to thelr hearts' ent in their time-honored games, Be- sides the Omaha clan, Clan Stuart of Council Blufts and Clan McKenzie of Sioux City will take part. The committee on arrangements has prepared a very interesting program and everything promises well for the best picnic that as ever been held under the auspices of the clan. The games will be held under Caledonian society rules, A great crowd will undoubt- edly be in attendance. In the morning mem- bers of the clan, in full regalia and headed by a band of pipers in full highland costume, will leave Grand Army of the Republic hall, Fourteenth and Dodge streets, and march to the Webster stroet depot. Clan Stuart of Council Bluffs will also be in line, like- wise some members of the Sioux City clan, but the majority of these will go directly to_ Blair. The speclal trains will leave the depot at 8:30 and 12:30; returning, will leave Blair at 6 and 8:30 p. m. On arrival at Blair the clans will again form in procession and parade the streets of the city. The affair has been thorouglly advertised by the Blair offi- cials and by the rafiroads and it is expected that the little city will be crowded. The program of sports is as follows: Quoits, diStance, eighteen yards; putting the stone; tossing the caber; hop, step and jump; throwing twelve-pound hammer; 100- yard race (confined to clansmen); vaulting with pole; hitch and kick; running long jump; boys' race (under 16 years); girls’ vace; married ladies’ race; quarter mile race’ (open); running high jump; boys' race (under 10 years); sack race.

C., on August .28, and -a- good program, is being prepared to ‘entertain .the visitors. A big crowd is expected from all over the coun- try. Nebraska's contingent, however, is not very promising at present. Arrangements had been mwade to run two special trains, one from the South Platte country over the Burlington, the other from the North Platte country, over the Northwestern. These two trains were to have met at Chicago, and from there the trip was arranged over the Baltimore & Ohio. The return was to have been made over the Chesapeake & Ohlo. A big contingent was confidently expected. But the persistent hard times, together with the drouth that has been visiting the state, have set back these expectations and every- thing is now in a very unpleasant state of indefiniteness. Pushers of the excursion are praying for rain, for in that case it is thought that a respectable crowd can be still got together. Besides these obstacles, another lies In the way. The railroads have made a rate of one fare for the round trip, with a fifteen days’ limitation and without stop over privi- leges. Not only the rate, but the limitations and restriction are unfavorably viewed by knights, who “will not go unless these are removed. The Omaha Knights have decided in conjunction with those of Missouri, Kan- sas and Towa, not to attend the encamp- ment if the railroads do not come to time. If these obstacles are done away with Au- gust 24 has been fixed as the date of the excursion. 5 The committee that is working up en- thusiasm is composed as follows: Colonel Willlam B. Dale, Columbus, chairman; Colo- nel Frank Barclay, Beatrice; Colonel W. H. Cowglll, Holdrege; Colonel J. M. Killian, Columbus; Major George Wetherby, Oak- dale; Captain Z. P. Hedges, South Omaha. These are working with the assistance of Brigadier General Hotchkiss of Lincoln and Assistant Adjutant Harry Schaefer of Lin- coln. 18 Thelr Memorlal Day.

Pythian Orphan Home. Recently thercorner:stone of the Airst Pythian orphan home in the world was laid in Springfcld, O. A program had been pre pared for the oceasion, but rain prevented”| its rendition. Many dignitaries of the grand lodge and grand temple Pythian Sisters of the state were in attendance, The corner stone Is a very rich plece of Vermont granite, two and one-half feet long, twenty-two inches wide and eighteen inches thick. It has a deposit of 12x20 Inches in which is placed the copper box. This Is cov- ered by a finely polished plate of Tennessee marble. On the south front of the stone Is carved, “'Ohlo Pythian Home, Cottage No. 1 May 22, 1894." On the east side are the names of the members of the board of di- rectors. The were: articles placed in the corner stone Bible, journal, general laws, local pa- pers, reports of the officers of the present session, report of the home directors, certifi- cates, Ohio brigade reports, local lodges’ di- rectory, by-laws and other lodge matters. The cottage Is two stories in height contains fourteen rooms exclusive of bath rootns each. The first dollar subscribed for the erection of the State Pythian Home was by a me- chanic named John M. Brisben of Johan- nesburg, in Transvaal, the South African republic. He met the solicitor on a train about two years ago, and after a conversa- tion on the subject handed him a dollar for the cause. The silver plece has been care- fully preserved, and will be given a fitting place of honor among the treasures of the home. and two Celebrated Emaucipation.

Refresh- ments of all kinds were served in abundance The evening was delightfully spent in danc- ing, listening to the band and orchestra discourse sweet music and rambling about the grove and admiring the natural beauties of the pavk Many people took out baskets and ham- mocks and little groups of private parties could be found scattered all over the grounds enjoying themselves In such manner as they wished to.

There is a prospect of changing the name to Banner division and of making the di- vision a battalion in itself. At least such a scheme met the most enthusiastic approval of the meeting. Last day Black Eagle division No. 17 met and disbanded, with the intention of becoming a part of the new di- vision. Twenty-eight discharges were is- sued. General H. 8. Hotsckiss, commander Nebraska brigade, was present at both meet- The intended change received his arty support, as well as that of Major General Carnahan, commander-in-chief of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias. It is the desire and hope of Omaha knights to put Omaha where she belongs in the order, namely, at the top, and the new move is a step in that direction Knights of Pythias Plenic, The members of Nebraska lodge No. 1, Knights of Pythias, have not allowed their interest in the order to abate in the least during the recent hot weatlier, but are con- stantly devising and carrying out plans to advance its principles. In this line arrange- ments have been perfected for a regular home made, old-fashioned basket picnic at Courtland Beach next Saturday afternoon, under the auspices of the lodge, to which ali knights, their friends and baskets, are cor- dially invited. Tickets of admission to the grounds end to the pavilion, where a_social hop will be held in the evening, may be had tree to members of the lodge. “History of Fraternal Socletles, On Tuesday evening, August 14, J. E. But- ler of Lincoln will deliver a lecture entitled “History of Fraternal Societies” at Young Men's Christian association hall. The lec- ture will be given under the auspices of Ne- braska division No. 1, Knights of Pythias, for the benefit of the Presbyterian hospital. The lecturer has never been heard in this city, but is very well known among society members of Missouri and Kansas, whence very favorable reports of him come. The lecture is considered one of his best and is promised to be a treat for the hearers. Secret Soclety Notes. The signs of the times point to Walter B. Ritchie as the next supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Indianapolis is said to be a rival of Denver and Minneapolis for the session of the su- preme lodge of the Knights of Pythias to be held in 1896.

Jesse Anderson, a young man who resides in Blair, has been stopping for a few days with relatives at 2817 Half Howard street. Yesterday he came down town, driving a horse that was supposed to be perfectiy gentle, Driving to Thirteenth and Farnam he jumped out of the buggy and was in the act of hitching to the curb when the animal kicked him in the head and on the leg, in- fiicting a couple of frightful flesh wounds, He was taken in the patrol wagon and driven to the home of his friend, Mrs. Pat- terson, where he was staying, and a phy- sician called. Bullding Business. Frank J. Murphy is having plans drawn for a fine barn on his property at Twenty- second street and St. Mary's avenue.

The next important labor meeting in Omaha will be the local labor conference to be held in Knights of Labor hall Saturday evening, August 11, to which all labor or- ganizations In Omaha and South Omaha are invited to send five delegates each The object of the meeting, as stated by tho leaders of the movement, Is to unite the labor forces of Dou 8 county at the ballot box at the coming election, and before they can be united it is argued that th must agree upon the demands to be made of the lawmakers, At this meeting hope to scmo agreement about what amendments to the city charter are desired, and also to agree, if possible, upon a series of bills to be introduced in the state legislature, In speaking about this of moters of the movement sald: *There are a great many of the unfons that have clauses In their constitutions which prevent them from taking any part whatever in political affairs, but there is nothing to prevent all of the labor organizations from sending dele- gates to @ conference to advise together and try to agree upon some line of action to se- cure the laws badly needed for the working people. It is not the intention, as I un- derstand it, to put up candidates or any- thing of that kind. All we propose to do fs to see how far we can agree toward voting for reform ws. I feel certain that all will concede that we want to abolish the contract system on all public works and substitute the day’s labor system. This would be a great saving to the taxpayers, gi the public bet- ter material and better work and at the same time give the workingmen better wages. This is one of the things that we can all surely’ agree upon, and without doubt of the delegates will favor the passage of a good arbitration law, if one can be drawn that will stand. There will be no trouble either in agreeing upon some method to stop the competition with convict labor, which is de- manded by all of the labor organizations. It is my opinion that if we can agree upon about four or five measure: nd pledge our- selves to stand together and vote for men who espouse labor's just demands we will have mo trouble in getting candidates to assist us in securing whatever we agree upon. There can be no chance for this con- ference to be controlled by cliques, as each organization will elect five delegates, and if they choose good, representative working- men it will be truly a representative work- ingman’s conference.” Several of the organizations which held mectings last week chose representatives and others will elect delegates before the date of the conference. If all the unions elect delegates, as is now expected, there will be about 240 representatives at the meeting. they come to one the pro- all The following is the Knights of- Labor social row evening at Knights of Labor Fourteenth street Song Piano o Mis y Song Miss Mary C Address—Religion from a Labor Stand Thomas McGuire of the general execu- tive board.

Arms Enough to Equip a Chinese Company. ‘When Detective Tom Hayes arrested Albert Baldon, alias Drothers, yesterdsy he succeeded In capturing a walking arsenal and a man who the police claim should be behind the bars. Albert was walking along Thirteenth street and soon attracted the attention of the officer by reason of bundle which he carrying under his arm. At the central station Ballon yielded up nine revolvers and three watches, which he claims that he bought for the purpose of stocking a cane rack. He intended to £0 to South Omaha and start one of thess Joints. — The police, however, have a difterent opinion, claiming that the stuff was stolen. Baldon fs a man with a history, according o the character given him by the officers. They claim that a couple of years ago he and a woman lived on Harney, just east of F th street, and that while there roped in many of the unsophisticated from the country, now and then catching a city man. The scheme was this: The weman was Kinown as a streot walker, 8o state the police, and evenings she would frequent the crowded thoroughfares, where gho would catch onto men who could be induced to go to her rooms When she had landed them inside her den she would invite them to share a portion of her couch, and about this time Haldon would crawl from under the bed, either stealing the clothes of the visitor or demending hush money. So far as reported he was always successful and none of his victims ever squealed, though after a time the police became aware of what was going on, but, not having the evidence to conviet, no prosecution was instituted. Shortly after this the two parties were run out of town, remaining away until a few days ago. Coolest ARMED Albert 1l T Fine sandy bottom at Courtiand.
