(From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 17.—(Spectal Telegram.) ~The republican state committee in its initial meeting of the campalgn tonight, vassed tBe political situation In the arious communities, elected a state execu- tive committee and attended to other mat- ters preliminary to the contest. At the Invitation of Chairman Lindsay the state and congressional nominees and congres- slonal district chairmen attended the con- terence. It was voted to maintain the ftate headquarters in Lincoln, at the Lin- fell hotel. The executive committee, con- sisting of one member from each congres- sional district, was appointed by Chairman Lindsay, on authority glven by the state committee, 48 follows: First, J. C. Se erest, Lincoln; Second, Victor Rosewater, Omaha; Third, Willlam P. Warner, Dakota City; Fourth, Clark Robinson, Fairmont; Fifth, L. W, Hague, Minden; Sixth, Aaron Wall, Loup City.

Kinkaid of the Sixth, Chairman Lindsay spoke of the work be- fore the committee and made several sug- gestions regarding organization and other features, The reports from the various districts ‘were optimistic, every member of the com- mittee befng confident .of republican gains 1n his own locality. J. H. Mickey spoke in a few well chosen words, promising to do sl in his power for a complete republican victory. Work for Boyd County Settlers. Sanford Parker of Boyd couaty, repre- senting contesting homesteaders of that county, 18 striving to induce Commissioner Follmer to aign 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 elg- nature from the Instrument. Mr. Flick called at the land commis- sloner's office this afternoon, but Mr. Foll- mer was absent and no progress was made. Ho expects to take the case up later and push 1t to a final and epeedy settlement. Senator Dietrich was in Lincoln to conferring with political friends and a tending to matters of private interest. This afternoon he met J. H. Mickey In consultation and discussed the guberna- torfal situation, glving him the benefit of knowledge galned In one campalgn for the executlve chair, The senator called at the various offices at the statehouse and to- night was prominent among the visiting republican leaders and workers. Senator Dietrich sald the only probable solution of the Cuban question -is through treaty: ‘He did not think, however, that the senate would be reassembled in special scssion 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- tions ‘have suffered from the heavy rains, but the general percentage of damage !s small. “All indications point to the biggest crops in the history of the state,” sald C. F. Robertson of Omaha this afternoon. Mr. Robertson has completed a trip through the Elkborn valley, the eastern and central and southeastern sections of the state, and he speaks from actual ob- servation. “‘There undoubtedly has been damage on the so-called bottom lands, but it ls a well-known fact that we haven't much of that kind of land in the state. Practically all of the small grain s harvested and farmers say It is in good condition. The corn seems to be growing rapldly and with a few more rains that crop will be assured.” < . The dismissal of Charles E. Hayward upon his own recognizance this afternoon is probably the closing event in the prose- cution for the murder of John J. Gillilan. Hayward had been held in custody since October. He made several unsuccessful tempts to galn freedom by the filing of a bond, and finally, as a last resort, his attorney prepared for ‘the institution of habeas corpus proceedings. It was par- tially to head off this it and partially because there is no direct or comclusive evidence against the 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 Baird, but the star witness failed in the identi- fication. Baird was released after a pre- Mminary trial. Hayward says be may stay 10 the eity, but It is more than likely that he will make haste to get beyond the jurisdiction of the officers. Food Commissioner Bassett has lssued permits to several merchants who re active in the prosecution of the recent case to have the food law declared unconsti- tutional. The ‘application of these me: chants is taken as an iadication that there will be no further opposition to the law. Permits were lssued today to the Allen Produce company and Charles Harding of Omaha, the Lincoln Vinegar works and the Newmah Grove Butter and Egg company. The State Board of Agriculture met to- might, after inspecting the fair grounds, and aonsidered matters pertaining to the forth- goming exposition. An Invitation was ex. ‘ended to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and W, J. Bryan to speak at the falr on M I(Stomach “It feels. so uncomfort- able. Food distresses me. I get blue and despondent.

NO GENERAL STRIKE (Continued from First Page.) this convention to draft an address to American people setting forth In proper form the policy of the miners: organiz tion and appealing to the people to bring all possible pressure to bear on the officers d_stockholders of the anthracite coal- carrylng railronds to compet them to treat considerately the appeals of their employes for arbitration. The speech was greeted with great ap- plause from both antbracite and bituminous miners. Ryan Makes Motion. President Ryan of the Illinols miners at once offered a motion, which Wi promptly seconded, that the recommenda- tions be adopted. The question was just being put, when a delegate arose to ask for information, and then began the de- bate which continued until adjournment. Many speeches were made, those 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 Illinols delegation tonight it was deter- mined to oppose any general strike. It was also decided to stand by the recom- mendations of President Mitchell with the exception of the onme declaring in favor of an assessment of §1 per week on mem- bers of the union. This assessment should, the Illinois men declare, be made on a per- centage basis and Illinols will make a fight for this. Ohlo tonight took action similar to that of Illinols. The lowa miners held a caucus in the evening and decided to uphold the action of President Mitchell. Strike Out of the Questiom. The action of the caucuses tonight makes a general strike practically out of the qu tion, as the anthracite men. cannpt carry their point without the aid of Illinols and with that state and Iowa and Ohlo against them, there is no apparent manner in which a strike can be ordered. The meeting of the anthracite miners 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 anxlous for a strike would be disappointed. There was a long conference and a vote was decided upon, but when it was par- tlally taken it was seen that the result would be so strong in upholding the recom- mendations of President Mitchell that the vote was not considered. While there is an element among the anthracite men that is greatly disappointed itis not likely that any fight will be made upon the floor of the convention. President Mitchell sald tonight: I am greatly pleased with the outcome of work done by the convention so far, and I have no doubt that the policy out: lined in my speech today will be carried out substantially. Some min may be made, but the policy Wil be followed by the convention, 1 am certain. QUEER PHENOMENON ON LAKE Water of Lake Michigan Rushes to Juy phenomonen, and other Swiss lakes as made its appéarance on In a queer convulsion the lake sent a blg wave landwards and residents along t! ore suddenly found the water tapping at their doorsteps. All along the lake front the waves swept up against breakwaters or over the beach. Steamers were tossed about at their docks, smaller craft ware thrown on the shore, boats were broken and in several instances loss of life was parrowly averted. Two boys bathing north of Lincoln park were saved after they had been carried out by the receding wave. A fisherman was rescued by the Evanston life saving ‘crew and another bather, an Eva boy,” was pulled out of the water as he was in danger of drowning. At the weather bureau the barometer in- dicated udden high pressure, followed by an equally sudden drop. A wave of heavy atmospheric pressure passed over the city, and as it struck the lake, moving from west to east, the water was pushed back. With the pressure released the wave came rush- ing back and dashed up over the land, then receded to the normal water line SHOOTS SISTERS OF CHARITY Man Belleved to Be Demented At- tempts Murder at New York Foundling Asylum.

LIQUOR DEALERS FEELING THEIR LOSS They Afe Expected to Enter Some Kind of Protest Agninst Enforce- ment of Mayor Koutsky's The first installment of the 1902 tax, just Jevied by the clty council, becomes due on October 1 and becomes delinquent on January 1. As for the second installment, it falls due on April 1 and becomes de- linquent June 80. This provision of the new cherter was inserted by the charter bulders with a view to makiug the pay- ment of taxes easler on those Who are bullding and paying for their homes. Last year, in a great many instances, tie entire tax was paid by the small property owner during the fall months, while the corporations took advantage of the two- payment clause. The plan, however, ap- pears to be satlsfactory to the city of- ficlals and all who desire may take advan- tage of it. With money avallable now it is expected that Treasurer Howe, as soon as he can get around to it, will tssue a call for war- rants in order to put a stop to the pay- ment of interest. While there is money on hand now, the running expenses of the city are con- stantly on the increase and the appro- priation will nqt pay any of the overlap which has been accumulating for years. Those who are familiar with the financial condition of the city assert that the best thing to do is to issue bonds this fall for 50,000 to take up the overlap. Bankers say that such bonds would eell for from 4% to b per cent and in case of 5 per cént bonds a premium would be paid. This question 18 to be taken up shortly and discussed in order to lay the matter properly before the people. More than lMkely the proposition to vote bonds to pay the overlup would not come up before the regular election in November.

Eighty-eight saloons are now in operation in this city and it is estimated that an average of $30 is taken in every Sunday by each. This is really considered a low average, as some of the larger places rup $60 to $75. Onme brewery aléne lost the sale of seventy-five barrels of beer last Sunday. One dealer said that not less than $3,000 was spent in Omaha and adjoining resorts last' Sunday which would have been put in eirculation here had it not been for the mayor's closing order. - Just what the liquor dealers pro- pose to'io 4s not known, but a plan Is belng arranged Whereby they can retallate. /- Claim Turned Down.

Mr. Zadina has placed his bufldings on low ground by reason of which the water has run into his cellar or boller pit. If Mr. Zadina had graded his property prior to erecting his bulldings there would have been no damage.” Miller's Surprise. August Miller, the street foreman, will meet with a surprise today when he calls at the clerk’s office to procure his warrant for last month's services. He has exactly $52 coming. This i{s pay at the rate of $2 for every day he worked. When Frank Clark was street commissioner he was pald a salary of $75 a month and allowed $10 a month for a horse. When Miller filed his claim he put in a bill for $85, and while he has no horse, he asserted that he used up qiite a sum in car fare. The finance committee, however, decided to cut the claim down to $52, and this is all that Mil- ler will be allowed for his labors during June. League Rally Tonight.

QUICK WORK OF A MAD MOB Kentuoky Man Taken from Jail udflmpdl 1o Soale Beam," GUILTY OF WANTON MURDER OF WIFE Mob Accomplisheés Its Purpose So Quickly and Quietly that Jailer in Charge of Prisoner Can- mnot Give the Alarm. OWENSBORO, Ky., July 17.—Joha An- derson, a farmer, who was in jall hero charged with the murder of his wife on the night of July 8, was taken from prison by a masked mob of about forty men and hanged to a beam over the city scales on one of the principal streets of Owensboro at about 2:30 o'clock this morning. The lynchers, who are supposed to ha come from the scene of Anderson’s alleged crime about three miles west of Owens- boro,” made their entrance into the city quletly and, going to the jail, demanded admittance, which was refused. They then battered down the prison door and while some went to the prisoner’s cell to lead him out, others of the mob sur- rounded the jaller and his fam#y to pre- vent them from glving the alarm. Anderson was woon secured and In a few moments was led across the street trom the prison, where a rope was placed about his neck and he was hanged to a beam over & pair of sca en dlspersed quietly.
