Concurrent with the cold wave from the fey northland comes a gentle zephyr from the sunny south that a policeman murdered in Knoxville, Tenn., is supposed to be Pat Cro: The police department officers of Omaha place little credence In the story. “If the recent letters alleged to have been written by Pat were genuine the man killed in Knoxville may possibly be the illustrious Pat,” eaid one. “If he was in the vicinity of Omaha, as stated in the letters, then it Is more than likely, when he falled to give himself up, that he went south.” Chief Donahue could.not be seen last night, but many of the officers of the police department believe that it would be just like Crowe to get on a police force In some city, as in that way, they say, he would he able to keep posted on what was going on over the country in regard to his capture.

Nether- ton returned tonight from a trip to Holt county, made at the request of Governor Dockery, and says: ‘“The loss in cattle dur- ing the present winter from poison will be heavy. The malady is pecullarly fatal. Death generally results within twelve to fourteen hours from the time ot the poison- fog from the stalks “To what Is the trouble du erton was asked. “Usually from eating nubblns of corn upon which worms had previously feasted. Farmers generally, after pulling the good ears, leaving the nubbins upon the stalk. These nubbins, when the stalks are cut, are apt to decompose, and this decompo- sition and the worms that feed upon it produce a poison that is pecullarly deadly." ——— Sto) Cough 4 Works Off the Cold, Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.

FOWLER TO ADDRESS LINCOLN CLUB Minfster Wu Feels Obliged to Decline Omahn Invitation—OfMcer Michnel F. Dempsey Gets Reward. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Some of the best agricultural land Iying along the line of the B. & M. rail- road in Nebraska between Plattsmouth and Kearney will be thrown open to entry in the land offices at Lincoln and McCook next Monday. Under an old land grant glven the B. & M. rallroad the company ro- celved nany valuable sections, but as the Unlon Pacific encroachied upon the Burling- ton it was found necessary to relinquish much of the grant for land farther re- moved, and accordingly last summer the land granted the B, & M. in Nebraska was finally passed upon by the Interior depart- ment officials and many of the odd num- bered sections were turned back to the public domain. It fs this land that will be open to entry next Monday. Judge Stark of the Fourth district has been receiving many letters and telegrams in relation to these lands and this fn- formation as to the date of entry was re- celved by him from the commissioner of the general land office. Considerable land 18 to be had in Greeley and Perkins county, while some Is to be had in Saline sounty. 1t is expected there will be quite a rush at both land offices to secure early filings upon the desirable quarter sections. With these entries made, they will mark the winding up of the land grant to the B. & M. ratiroad in Nebraska. Accepts Lincoln's Invitation, Representative Charles D.

While the bill 13 general In scope, It Is particularly appli- cable to the situation in South Dakota. Un- der the present conditions the United States courts have Jurisdiction over of- fenses committed by the Indians on reservations, but the whites and half-b.eeds are protected by the inabllity of the United States authoritios to apprehend those who violate the law on the reservations. While the state has jurisdiction over crimes com- mitted on the reservations, their remote- | ness from the courts and the expense the counties would be required to bear, have resulted in many eriminals being unpun- ished for various crimes. .

When a man acts as he belleves the Infinite within him would have him act he draws power to himself from unseen sources; that power may be shown in many ways. Things work smoother, plans carry out, people begin to say, “lucky,” “he's a win- “everything he touches succeeds,” . ete. Ever try 1t? If you ever do you will agree that It s the greatest proposition on earth, There is a marvelous potency behind the man who acts in a simple, straightforward way, as near as he knows, In accordance with the promptings of that invisible Diety within, This should teach him that great and honorable work is ahead; Man at once the tool and a part of the master workman, The tool must not be dulled and ruined by bad foods, tobacco, whiskey, coffee, etc. You question including coffee among “bad habits.” Nome of these habits are bad habits unless they weaken or lessen the clean cut power of the individu It they do, quit them.

SCRANTON, Pa,, Dec. 13.—The conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor held three sessions today and disposed ot more business than on any previous day of the meeting. The session tonight was de- cided upon s0 as to enable the delegates to complete the work of the convention by | tomorrow night. One of the principal fea- | tures of the day's proceedings was the defeat of the proposition to increase the number of vice presidents from six to eight. The increase was recommended by | the committee on law, but many delegates | made warm speeches against the increase. | Charges were made that the exeeutive council, of which the vice presidents are members, were back of the proposition, but this was vehemently denicd A resolution instructing unions to hold aloof from the militia of the scveral states was debated for a long time. Strong lan- guage against the of the militia in times of strikes was used, but the whole subject was tabled. Increases Per Caplta Tax, The convention decided to increase the per capita tax of national and International unions from one-third to one-balf of 1 per cent per member, per month, and also agreed to raise the per capita tax of fed- eral and local trade unions from 5 to 10 cents a month for each member, the in- creases of 5 cents to go toward the ralsing of a defense fund for those unions. Dur- ing the day the committees reported many resolutions on other matters and favorable action was taken on many of them Theso resolutions were adopted structing the executive council to use In- induce the central labor body and Increasing the per capita tax of the national and inter- national unions from one-third to one- half a cent per member per month, to| take effect next February. The proposition to increase the salary of the president and the secretary was deteated. The credentials of President Shafter of the Amalgamated Association of Tron, Steel and Tin workers were {rans- ferred to Frank Dool Mr. Shaffer hav- ing been called to Indiana on business connected with his association. The increase in tax of the federal and | local trade unions was agreed to at the afternoon session by a large majority. Half of the 10 cents will go toward a defense fund for the protection of the federal and local trade unions. Alrendy Agninst Anarchy. A resolution Instructing all afliated | bodies to hold absolutely aloof from all connection with the militia was laid on the table, atter a brief but lively debate, some | of the delegates favoring the abolishment of the militla. One delegate favored com- | mitting criminal acts where the workmen's rights were not granted and others took the view that no action should be taken, because the Impression would go out to the country that organized labor was opposed | to law and order. The convention decided to take no ac tion’ on a resolution condemning anarchy and a resolution protesting against ship subsidy legislation, because the American Federation of Labor is already on record | as decldedly against anarchy and ship sub- sldies. The federation also decided to drop the resolution denouncing the English govern- ment for its war against the Boers, be- cause the American government {3 now en- gaged in a movement of a similar char- acter and because such a resolution has no | place in a labor couvention Ren fons A pted.
