LINCOLN, Aug. 13.—(Special)—At a spe- @lal meeting of the city council today Henry Meyers, chalrman of the water committee, was removed by Mayor.Graham. Meyers has Iately been making himself obnoxious to the | mayor and council generally by insisting that e had the right to go on laying water mains in epite of orders of the mayor to the con- trary. There are rumors afloat 1o the effect that Meyers is preparing to make certain developments regarding administration se- crets that may stir up quite a sensation among members of the municipal ring Post-convention echoes are to the effect that & number of Lincoln citizens’ are to be hauled hefore some court of justice to an- swer for illegal voting at the primaries last Saturday. Among those mentioned is L. L. H. Austin, business manager®of the Evening Call. His vote was challenged on the ground that he does not live in the Fifth ward, where he voted. Austin gwore his vote In, saying that he rented a room in that ward. But it 18 claimed that he merely rents the room for storage purposes and actually resides in another ward, In his behalf it is claimed that he has never esiablished a residence elsewhere and intended to maintain a resi- dence in the ward in which he voted In district court today Margaret E.

One man in Laramie writes that he has some bang tails that he desires to enter in three classe Al of these correspondents appear to beliey that the races will be held in Lincoln with- out fail this fall.

Cock- rell, a prominent horse owner here, that it would be better to postpone the opening until next spring, when the meetings could be had during the summer and ample prepa- rations made to insure suceess. DISTURBED OVER A NEW FLAG. This morning a new flag appeared on the jack-staff of the postoffice.

Anderson struck at him several times with a knife, cutting him in several places, and then took the child and eft. Lundy came to town and swore out a writ of habeas corpus to recover the child. It 13 thought Anderson is crazy, he at one time being in the asylum in Virginia. For some time past, after the county com- missioners have Tepaired the country roads, putting them in good shape with the road scraper, some of the farmers have taken a plow and leveled them all off again, evidently thinking they were better qualified to fix the roads than the commissioners. This has caused a great deal of trouble and expense and the commissioners have determined to make an example of the next person who does it.

TIMME MADE THEM TIMID, Manager of His I sed Journal Held Up the Business Men. BENNINGTON, Neb., Aug. i3.-—(Special.) —The people in this section of the country are wondering what will be the fina ut- come of the Harrison club. About one year ago a firm was organized here and known as tho Benaington Publishing company, s president boing H. C. Timme and is secre- tory Frank Crawford. This fi'm workad the bisiness houses successfully for about thirty days under the pretense that they were goin to run a large newspaper, and to help the en terprise awng the bus:ness wmon contributed cute freely, paving in advarcs for some- thing promised them in the near futq At the end of about thirty davs the general manag; and secretary, Franc Crawiord, turned up missing, taking the recs'pts of the thirty days’ business with him, and President H. C. Timme disowned all connez-ion wih the newspaper plant The Great Wes arn Type Foundry company .came ou. from Omaha and ciaimed all that was visible in the office except an empty whisky botile, and took it home. As the Harrison club is under the same management the people are won- dering i2 this is some more Timme-Crawford bait. The business men are not inclined to help any more new enterprises along unless the advocates are shown to be responsible men, hence it will be useless for these parties to make Bennington their headquarters for an- other “fake” mill undil the citizens have ceased to remember the Bennington Publish- ing company.

EXAMINING FERTILE FARMS Eastern Agents Looking Over Nebraska and Jowa Lands. MAGNIFICENT CROPS ON ALL SIDES Only Complnints Heard from Farmers to the Effect that the Yield is S0 Henvy They Are Un- able to Handle It. INCOLN, Aug. 13.—A special train ar- rived today over the Burlington road, hav- ing on board a party of land agents which the railroad company has brought out to see the country. The object Is to do away with the evil impression created by the re- ports of drouth of last year and induce set- tlement throughout Nebraska Particular attention was paid by the party on its way through Iowa to the condition of the crops there. A wouaderful state of affairs was found to exist all through that state. The farmers are actually deploring he superabundance of their crops for the reason that prices will be so depressed by the tremendous surplus that they will not get as much money out of the land as they would have done had lighter crops been the rule. One farmer, when asked today what result last week’s rain had on his potato crop, replied: “Well, it just means another bushel off the price,” Iowa's crops consist of hay, oats, wheat, rye and corn. ¥rom the Mississippi to the Missouri over the entire stretch through which the Burlington runs an unprecedentedly large crop of hay has already been gath- ered. In many places it averaged three tons to the acre. In ordinary years a ton and a half is considered a pretty fair crop. Oats have been reaped and are now in shock or stacked. The usual practice is to thrash out the grain before stacking the straw, but this year the crop has been so large ‘that this way has boen departed from, and the grain is being stacked before being threshed, lest rains might cause it to sprout in_the shock before it could be threshed. Last year's oat crop in Towa did not aver- age over twenty-five bushels to the acre This year it is running from sixty to 110 bushels to the acre. A fair average would be seventy bushels. Towa is not a wheat state, and yet a large wheat crop has been reaped in the south- western section. Much of it has been threshed and it has weighed out for winter wheat forty bushels to the acre and for spring_wheat thirty bushels, The quality of both winter and spring wheat, as well as of oats, could not be improved upon. Ryo has been rather a light crop. It is not much grown in southern lowa, but what was sown was injured by early frost, so that less than an average crop was reaped. It is the solitary exception to southwestern Towa's crops. In southern Towa corn is king and it ap- peared with more regal prodigality this year than at any time in the last twenty. There is simply no limit to the corn crop. Many farmers through the Nishna Botna valley, and and west, have 700 acres each planted in corn. They will be embarrassed to know what to do with all they gather this yoar. In many cases it is running four ears to the stalk. Ono ear to the stalk makes a good corn crop. Tt will average eighty bushels to the acre. Sixty bushels to the acre is con- sidered a big crop ordinarily. The trip is proving that half has not been told of the greatness of lowa's crop for the present year. EXAMINING NEBRASKA PRODUCTS. ARAPAHOE, Neb., Aug. 13.—(Special Talegram.)—A special carrying parties from several esstern states passed through here this evening. The train stopped about five minutes, Arapahoe had prepared a very creditable display of products of the garden, orchard and field, and it is supposed the same was appreciated, as balf of it was taken away, to which they were heartily welcome. Music was furnished by the Third Regiment Knights of Pythias band, M'COOK, Neb., Aug. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The special train of Pullmans bear- ing the eastern land agents’ excursion of about 100 men arrived here at 7 o‘clock to- night, in charge of Assistant General Passem ger and Ticket Agent Smith of the Burlington. The excursionists were at once taken to supper, after which they were driven over the city and surrounding country in carriages. The depot and hotels were profusely decorated with small grain, vegetables, alfalfa, grasses, corn, ete. The party was met at the depot Dy the Pythien band and escorted to their hotel.

Regular Ser In the suburban residents of Omaha to their dally work were drawn by horses George was kept as busy as a man could well be breaking in the bronchos and refractory equines so they the bobtail cars to the disturbance digestion of the early morning passenger. { But with the introduction of the cable and | the electric motor George has seen his voc | tion shoved to the rear, until now he { hasn't even a mule left on which to keep his horse training abilities in exercise. This morning the motor will begin to make fif- teen minute trips over the old Lake street line and the last horse car in the city will | have disappeared. After twenty years' service for the street railway company Drew will have to come down to running a common | Sprague motor instead of having a calling of his own, in which he had no equal. The Lake street electric line is now com- plete and the first motor that has penetrated into that portion of the Sixth ward carried the officials of the company and party on a tour of inspection yesterday afternoon. The special motor pulled out of the Twentieth street power house at 3 o'clock, having on board Superintendent F. A. Tucker, General Manager W. A. Smith, City Electrician Schurig, W. J. Phelps of Chicago and a couple of newspaper men. It was switched on the new line at Twenly-fourth and Lake streets, and as it proceeded west the inhabi- tants of that suburb lined the sidewalks to seo the first train go through. They wel- comed It with vociferous approbation, as the new line means a great accommodation to the residents in that locality, who have been de- manding better street car facilities for a long time. The I'me runs west on Lake to Thirtieth and then north to Bristol. This makes a Ht- tle over a mile of track and two motors will begin regular trips this morning on a fifteen minute schedule. The cars are cquipped with the old-fashioned box for the payment of fares and no conductors will be put on at present, The track is a trifle rough in spots, as the street for most of the distance has been uewly graded, but the oficials say that it is remarkably smooth under the circumstances, and that as soon as the new grading has time to settle a little the cars will run as easily as on the down town lines. The east- ern end of the line is at Twentieth stree making connections with hoth the Twentieth and Twenty-fourth street lines. SRk e ER OPPOSED TO FRE Now Advocates Money Based on Land Vanlues A ne. EMPORIA, Kan., Aug. 13.—Senator Peffer has written a letter to J.'D. Holden of this ecity, in which he comes out strongly in favor of currency based upon land values alone. He has discarded silver and the subtraasury plan and says he believes the chief trouble with the country is interest and its twin evil, rent. He calls attention to the fact that the average rate of interest is 7 per cent, and states that the net average savings of the people for the past forly vears has not been over 3 per cent. “We are,” he continues, “paying more than twice as much for the use of the money we have been compelled to borrow as we have been able to save from our labor. Rents are governed by provailing rates for the use of money. I have come to the conclusion that giving all proper consideration to every plan ‘of reform which has been suggested, the peo- ple cannot recover from their oppressive bur- dens of debt except through the abolition of interest, or at least by reducing the rate to a level below that of the permanent s ings of the people. To abolish interest roquire that the people themselves, acting through their properly constituted agent, the government, shall take charge of their own monetary affairs, preparing, issuing and cc trolling their own money, through their own instrumentalities, as may be best adapted to the purpose. I can see no way out of our troubles in the direction I have spoken of that will be so safe, 5o just, 50 easy of acco: plishment and so efficient as to coin our land, issue money based upon our wealth, and abolish the business of issuing money by corporations.” In an interview in Bmporia, Mr. Peffer said that he was glad to see the land money idea progressing in the face of what he called “rabid metallism.” He has declared against free colnage and is against the entire silver movement. He will take the stump against it this fall. GOLD DEPOSIT of PEF EAT RICHNESS Alleged w Discoveries in North- rn Islands t t Beat the Recory SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.—The schooner Golden Gate, which has heen on a prospecting cruise among th islands of the Aleutian arch- ipelago, returned last night with reports of wonderful mines where ore is to be cut out with a cheese knife. The Golden Gate sailed from San Francisco on the 16th of July with a party of young men who had agreed to share expenses and profits on the Alaskan mining expedition. Three of the party of twelve or more re- turned with the schooner, but they are full of buoyant hopes, and after what they have brought down in the hold of the vessel has been assayed they will return to the islands with more machinery. The men who came down from the north on the Golden Gate say little about the lo- cation of their big strike, but it is learned on board the schooner that the mine on which they place most reliance is on one of the islands just south of Kodiac island. The ore is rebellious but rich enough to warrant the expenditure necessary to properly mill it. QUINTET OF OUTLAWS CAPTURED. Started to Take a Town Themselves Toke EUFAULA, L. T., Aug. 13.—Five desperate outlaws, charged with' having committed al- most every crime in‘ thie calendar, were captured in the center ‘df Eufaula. Heavily armed and appropriately mounted they rode boldly into town, apparently intent on mak ing a raid and belieying, that they would receive but little opposition. Their lack of alertness proved their- misfortune, for they were quickly surrounded.hiy armed deputies.

M., Aug. 13.—In the Atlantic & Pacific receivership case today the affidavits of Francls S. Bangs and John Dougherty, on behalf of the Atlantic & I cific bondholders' committee, were read, Th charged the present receivers with unjust, unfair and dishonest treatment of Atlantic & Pacific affairs, especially as to charges for equipment and expenses and in main- taining the divisions of their rate: which the recelvers found in force when they came into office.

A large number of fdavits remain to be read Receiver Walker disclaimed any connec tion with the Atchison reorganization com- | mittee, and maintained that the receivers had at all times acted solely as conscientious agents of the courts having jurisdiction. He also claimed particularly thal the ques- tion of proper divisions of rates was now in the hands of a special master for full inquiry, the present plaintiffs being by stipu- lation parties to the reference and able to call it up and push it to a finish at any time. RA DADS NOT MUCH DISTUR Reported Cat On Diseredi CHICAGO, Aug. The stories regar: the demoralization that is likely to ensue among the western freight lines because of the reduction in hard coal rates between Chi- cago and Omaha seem to be largely over- drawn. The chances are that the story comes more from the dealers who are anxious to break the tariff than from any actual slash- ing of rates by the roads. There has been without doubt some cutting by one and pos sibly more of the Chicago-Omaha lines, but as the amount of hard coal shipped from here to Omaha dves not amount to more than 15,000 tons per annum, at an outside figure, .the cut of $1 per ton, divided among the lines between Chicago and Omaha, will not make any very mater reduction in revenue. An- other thing which seems to work against the story is the fact that the dealers are not taking advantage of the cut. There is not a pound more of hard coal moving from here to Omaha now than when the tariff was at its highest. In times of reduced rates the amount of tonnage usually shows an inc if there is anything to the reductions, but in this instance chere is nothing of the kind. All the leading officials of the Atchison road are out of town, most of them being at the hearing of the Atlantic & Pacific cas at Albuquerque. Receiver Walker, Vice President Robinson and General Solicitor Peck and the other leading lights of the legal staff of the road are in New Mexlco, and no statement could be obtained as to the effect of the Chicago Terminal system’s suit on the reorganization plans of the road. It was the general opinion among the lesser officials, however, that the suit would in no way affect the plans of the reorganization committee, The harvest excursion committee of the western lines was in session all of today, but put in all its time in discussing the specific form of ticket to be u It was finally drawn up late this afternoon. The opinion seems to prevail among some members of the committee that the plan they have formed for the return certificates will not meet with the eutire approval of the general meeting tomorrow. Others, however, are very san- guine that the plan will be adopted with a hurrah, If the plan of the committee or some similar action is not adopted tomorrow there will be an excellent chance for the demorali- zation of rates, probably in the eastern terri- tory. The time set by the Hlinois Central for the running of its excursions is coming so near that the roads must take action of some kind and take it in a hurry, J. C. Ise has been appointed commercial agent of the Chicago Great Western road, with headquarters in Chicago. He succceds J. S, Willet, resigned.
