THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1894. TALK ABOUT DRY SPELLS The Drouth Not Confized to the West by a Leng Wags, NEW ENGLAND TURNID TO ASHES Fho Country Half Burned, Streams Dried Up and Mills ¥ An Appalling Agrie Disanter, Notwithstanding the tained by farmers in the stales WNebraska, Kansas and Missourl, dition 18 not so bad as will close o the cry of distress that comes from the drouth stricken people of the east. Reports have been industriously spread throughout the east regarding the drouth in the west, but comparatively litlle has been published in t parts concerning c tons Infinitely worse In the The re- port regarding drouth devastation in Ne- braska, which drew out the vigorous denial ot Chancellor Canfield of the State univer- sity, has ben warmed over by an industrious space writer in Chicago, and appears In th New York Sunday Herald. The author of the Munchausen story of ruin is given by the writer as E. A. Upton of Lincoln, “a prominent catile exporter,” who is sald to be “‘better acquainted with the physical cc tion of Nebraska’ than most men. If Mr. Upton is quoted correctly it is charitable to suppose that he is competing for the belt Mulhatton once wore. Here Is a specimen of his talk UPTON'S LONG BOW. “It is admitted that with the exception of a few localitles our corn crop is @ fallure. This probably means more to Ne- braska than at first blush a man not ac- quainted with all of the conditions would appreciate. Corn is our staple, and when we Jose that we lose everything. North of the Platte river in spois we have a pretty fair crop, but in a general way the showers have been nowhere sufficient to mature the grow- ing grain. South of the Platte the condi- tions are those of total failu-e, and it should be remembered the country south of the Platte is where we have alwaye raised the corn about which we have been in the habit of bragging. A particularly unfortunate con dition is that there is no old corn in the state, at lesst not enough to speak of. We consider Fremont abcut the center of the best corn belt, and I kncw that at this point some of the most conservative feeders @re diecounting the future, as far as possi- ble, by buying corn at points outside of the state. A good del of this is f'r future de- livery, and is not done simply for the pur- pose of cleaning up a profit on a board of trade deal. The buyers want the actual corn. A great many men, Knowng that it will be impossible later on to get all the corn required to feed, are selling their stock as rapldly es possible. “While corn is cur staple, there are other crops that are in as bad condition, relatively Hay 18 almost & fallure, Oats are a light crop, but the quality Is fa'r, and this c:n also be said of wheat. 1 am speaking now of general conditions, Draw a line, from narth to south, through the center of the state, and ycu will strike Hastings. Bast ©f that point you will have about all of the country which is in 4 re bly prosperous condition. The western portion Is golng to ruin_abcut as fast as poverty and drouth can kill it. “I do not see that there is any immediate future for this country It is being depopu- lated as fast as people can get out of it. West of Haustings and south of the Platte there is a general exodus. People have put up with crop failures, from drouth and other causes, untll the burdens cf lfe in -that part of the state are heavier than can be borne. They are simply aband:ning their farms and going back where they came from. Doubtless Kingas and Missouri are getting tleir share of the worn out, dis- couraged and pauperized farmers.” Mr. Upton said a great deal more, but the above is sufficient to show his versatility in drawing ‘“the long bow.” There has been no attempt to deny that Nebraska has suf- fered from drouth, but the sweeping asser- tions of Mr. Upton magnifies it grossly, for the evident purpise of bulling the stock mar- ket and enriching himself. DROUTH IN THE EAST. The phenomenal driuth was not confined to_ the Missouri river states. It extended from the foothills of the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic coast, and the attempt of eastern provineial newspapers to make it a local con- dition to the detriment of the west, is pue- rile. Most of them have ceased ridiculing the west and are now devoting thelr energiss to discover ways and means to relicve the distress brought lome to thelr doors. Along the great lakes drouth d:stroyed the growing ercps in large aveas. Western New York felt fts blighting breath severely. In the Geneseo valley the New York World reports that no rain fell for three months up to the 6th of this month. The grapes, which are usually luscious in the Geneszo valley, failed o mature, and pastures dricd up so that it was & hard matter to get food for the st ck. The small streams having all dried up, the farmers were compelled to haul water long distances for ther cate and other stock. Extensiva fires broke out in the neignbor- hood of Dunk'rk, in Chautauqua county, but rain 50 n fell and helped them out. NEW ENGLAND AFFLICTED. A correspondent of the New York Sun, writlng from No:wich, Conn., draws a sad ture of the desolation in New England. y: The drouth of 1894, which fs still un- ‘broken, has been the severest and most pro- longed one in the weather annals of Con- necticut. The fields and highways of south- ern New England are like b:ds of dry ashes, and all day and night the air is filled with a yellow or brownish dust haze, through which the sky and twinkling stars are barely vis- ible, and the atmospheric effects caused thereby In the hot afterncon =re like those of the famous yellow day @ September 2881, The sun all day is of a pale yellow hwe, lMke that of a lemon, while its rays, shorn of their strength, are absorbed into & luminous mist, Investing its flat disk like a misty hood. feeble I8 its light that one may stare directly at it at midday without blinking. All pastures and mowing flelds, even low- Iylng meadows, are sere and brown. All wells and brooks and rills were long ago dried up, and most rivers are so shrunken in thelr channels that a man may wade across them without wetting his knee caps. Corn has been prematurcly ripened, so that farmers everywhere have begun to cut and stack It unseasonably; potalces have been withered up, and the crop 18 a scanty one, and all kinds of garden vegetables are either dead or dying. The apple crop is falling off its orchard boughs, on account of the baked soil, as copicurly as chestnuts are showered down in the woodlands, after a sharp frost, on a windy October morning. In every town so severe loss of their their ears lowa, con- led unfailing springs have been dried up, and farmers fetch water from distant rivers to their househclds or stock yards. In a number of shore towns of this county owners of artesian wells sell water to their nelghbors for 10 cents a tub- ful. Milkmen feed their cows on grain sinco there is no “fall fecd,” and dole cut halt petions of milk to their customers, or cut off their supply sltogether STREAMS DRIED The most diskstrous effect of the hes befallen the southern New England amanufacturers, who had kept their mills going all summer, in spite of the hard times, With the purpose in view, for the most part, that their help should not suffer on account of their being idle. This week, however, about all the b'g and little mills shut down Dbecause there s no water in the rivers to turn thelr wheels. For that reason six fac- torles along the brawling Shetucket river in Greeneville, in the suburbs, Including the great cotton fictory cf the village, and the mammoth Panewah mill at Taftville, em- ploying 1,600 hands, have been closed, and they will not resume work unt.l there is a Beavy salufall. The Shetucket river is Nined with factorles along its course for Afty miles north of (ks city, most of them being cotton and weollen mills, and on account of the drouth only here und there one s at work. There Is similar trouble all along the Yaute and Quinnebaug rivers, in fact, on all the streams between the Connecticut river and Narragansett ba. The damage done by the great drouth to UP. drcuth agrloulturiats and_manufacturers 1s ineal- | culable. Unless rain falls soon, farmers and | milkmen will have to wsell their stock or equip their plantations with artesian wells. Reports from Windham county, north of this (New London) county, say that the fac- torles at Wauregan, Danfeisonville, Willlams- ville, Attawaugan and smaller towns, are running only from twenty to fifty hours a week on_account of the scarcity of water. At the big village of Stafford Springs, in Tolland county, the people are confronted with the prospect of a water famine, They are husbanding their public supply and have temporarily re-enforced it by tapping a small pond in the nelghborhood. The pond water however, Is impure, and local physiclans have wagned the people against drinking it, fear- ng that a liberal public use of it may cause an_epidemie. At Thompsonville, in northern Connecticut, the mills are running feebly and intermit- tently with a scanty water power, although the Enfield Shakers of a neighboring town \re helping them with a supply from their own pond. In the same town a carpet com- pany's pond has been dried up, and to foul emanations from its bed are due, In the opinion of local physicians, many cases of peculiar sickn in the region. Water is #0 scarce in the town of Palmer, just across t necticut line, in Massachusetts, that local lverymen ard others have been for- bidden by the authorities to use it to wash the vehicles, and Mana Gamwell of the Palmer water works has notified the New London Northern rallroad that it can have no more water for its engines, which use 5,000 gallons a day. INTO THE DITOR Two Carloads of Freight Ju Go Tato the Diteh, the crew of a Pacific freight some switching week carloads of merchandise ju and went Into the ditch, and 80 solid c ¢t underwcar, blankets and comfo were more or less solled and d:maged by the cuses breaking open The claim agent of the railtoed company €old this entire lot of stuff to the Boston Store at their own price. After (pening the cases and assorting the gocds It was found that although the boxes and cases were ‘n very bad condition the g0ods had been only slightly oiled, and just @ few of them were at all dimaged by water, which since dried out. The raflroad agent admits it was the nicast lot of railroad wreck freight that he had ever disposed of £nd that ko had never scld a lot at such a ridieul:us low price. This entire lot of men's, l:dies' ard chil- dren's underwear, blankets and comforters is now being arranged by the Boslon Store to be put on sale Saturday morning. This will be a grand opportunity to buy your full supply of underw at just a fraction of its value, Do not forget, Saturday morning this grand lot of goods will g p the Track, train o While wero doing Had a Viclons Another dog story was recited in court yesterday. J. G. Hammersley, who lives away out on Cuming street near Forty-fourth, is something of a dog fancier and among his canines is one of the female persuasion which is a terror, according to the story told. It prowls around the neighborhood and when it sees a good opportunity to take a piece out of the anatomy of any one it immediately starts upon the chase in a bee line. Andrew Peacock lives next door owner.of the dog and on August 28, while he was taking a promenade in his back yard during the balmy softness of the summer eve, the dog espled him. It thought Mr. Peacock was his meat and immediately made for him with blood in its eye. With a lightning leap it fastened its fangs in Mr. Peacock’s thigh, This wasn't much fun for that indi- vidual and he didn’t want any more, 5o he had the owner called into court and the judge, after hearing some more about the playful capers of the dog, thought Mr. Ham- mersley ought to pay about $10 and costs for being its possessor. i R R LR Says M. W. Sclby, Muncie, TL: “Last summer a coal miner came to my drug store one night, half dead with cramps. Ther: was no doctor to be had. He asked me if 1 had aoything that would help him. I opened a bottle of Chamberiain’s Colic, Chol- era and Diarrhoea Remedy and gave him a large dose. In twenty minutes his pain wi all gone. This man had been subject to cramps, but has not been troubled since.” Every family should keep this remedy at hand for use in such cases, It can always be depended upon.

SHOULD LOOK TO CIURTS FOR JUSTICE Resolutions Condemning Recent Lynchings ~Fire Department Horses Shod in Non. unlon Shops- Trouble with Local Merchant Tallors. The Omaha Central Labor union held a regular meeting last night in Patterson hal, with over sixty delegates in attendance, and transacted considerable business of a public nature. G. W. Kinney of Knights of Labor as- sembly No. 6141 appointed reading clerk by President Schupp, and the creden- tials for the following delegates were read and aceept J. E. Perry of Carpenters and Jolners union, No. 427; William B. Austin and Harry E. Briggs of Stationary Engineers Protect- ive assoclation, F. W. Fleming and George Tucker of Colored Barbers' union, 1 The Labor day committee reported that on account of the large amount of business to be yet completed, it was unable to make a complete report at this meeting, and asked for further which was granted. The committee unfon labor reported that all the police patrol horses and all the horses at engine houses Nos. 2 and 3 were being shod at non-union shops where the men were worked longer hours than unfon men work. A communication was ordered 1o be sent to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, and the com- mittee ordered to ask that body to hereafter have the horses shod In shops where union men work. AMBROSE ON ARBITRATION. A member of the union announced that Judge Ambrose was at the door. A mo- ticn was earried to sdmit the judge to make 2 talk upcn the questom of labor. When Judge Ambrose was intreduced by President upp he said he was glad to be greeted by the biys who do the work and he had a few ideas that he would freely give this representative body, The strike was a great lesson and 1t was not a strike between labor and capital, strike between labor and monopoly. Neither lab:r nor capital could get along without the other, but they could both get along with:ut monopoly. The employer must be enabled to make just profits else he could not afford to employ labor and the employes must have living wages snd mcre, t00, to receive justice. He advised that the labor crganizations unite for the legislature and it they could not secure more they should unite upon cne man to get through the laws they demand. One true represen- tative of lab'r would be able to do more for the cause of libir in the legislature than a dozen politicians who wanted to get elected for what there was in it. The laboring people should unite upon a law for an arbi- tration board that would be a means of set- tling all disputes between employer and em- ploye He sald that the sentiment fcr arbitration wes growing and he could see no reascn why d:fferences could not be adjusted, s otlier differences are, In the courts of the country. Two members of the trustees committee, having ceased to be membzrs of the Labor union, Con P. Hogan of Magie City Federation, No. 635, and Fred Schubbell cf Carpenters and Joiners union, No. 427, were elected. E. R. Overall of Knights of Labor assembly, No. 5141, was appointed to fill a vacency In the law committee. The delegates from Tallors union, No. 92, report:d that they were having trouble with ne of the merchant tailors of Omaha, and asked that the delegates notify as many peo- ple as possible of the trouble existing. The unfon claims the cut in wages amounted to 66 per cent, and was unjust. The matter was referred to the commitiee on arbitration. A communication was received from Car- penters and Joiners unfon, No. 685, ann: uac ing tHat it was ready and willing 1o support a daily labor paper If one was started by the Central Labor union. CONDEMN THE LYNCHING. The following resolution was introduced by R. Overall and unanimously endorsed: Whereas, Lawlessness and the taking of human_life become €0 common in this country that in thé opinfon of the Central Labor union of Omaha the time has come when all the people who believe in good government should call a halt and demand that those who engage n such lawlessness and crime be punished to the fullest extent of the law; therefore be it Resolved, That we condemn the acts of people because it fs contrary itrary to the spirit blot upon our system was time, on Resolved, of Judge Cooper nd the actlon criminal court and the nrosecuting atto| M.

Dean asking the enforcement of the gambling laws was discussed for some time and laid upon the table, the members deciding that it was not a labor question. President Schupp announced that a char- ter committee had been appointed by the mayor, and It was suggested that his honor be asked to add a few more names to the committee to represent the labor organiza- tions. The committee on law was in- structed to visit the mayor and ask him to enlarge the committee in order that rep- resentatives of labor might be placed there- on. et That Tired Feeling.

WAiS DRUNK' AND DRESSED UP. Mr. Willis Goes to Jall for Stealing a Su't of Clothes. J. W. Willls was up yesterday be- fore Judge Berka on a charge of larceny preferred by Henry Salimen, Henry is a shoemaker, and lives at Thirteenth and Capi- tol avenue, when he is at home. Before September 6 he was the fortunate possessor of o mearly mew suit of clothes, new shoes, new shirt, new necktie and a new pair of suspenders. He would array himself in this splendor on holidays, and when he went fo his best girl. But last Thursday when he returned to his room and looked to see if his treasure was fe, lo, and behold, it had taken unto itself wings and had flown. But Henry is of a practical nature, and in his mind this mys- terious disappearance could not be construed into voluntary flight on the part of the clothes. So dark suspicions immediately be- gan to circulate in his mind, and at last fixed upon a certain weary wanderer who had shortly before taken up his abode in the same house, one J. W. Willis by name Henry immediately hied himself down to the polics station and poured his tale of woe into the ear of the individual who is pro- vided for the convenience of just such people. A warrant was issued and Mr. Wil- lis found himself in jail. Mr. Willis said that on the day on which he s charged with taking Henry's clothes he had too much of the ripe, rich red juice of the vine on board to do such a thing. To be sure, he has a new suit of clothes, but a friend of his, who was journeying on his way to D:nver, on the selfsame Thursday, September 6, had met him on the street and Joined him in a convivial bowl. This was condueive to such an. amiable condition of the mind on the part of his friend that he gave him the sult.
