The Hastinrs lNeb.A reunion.

The soldiers Reunion which began at Hast
ings, Neb on Tuesday, September ., was
great success in every respect. The Reunion
grounds which have been named Camp Sherl-
dan" comprise 2SS acres of land, and forty
acres of this ground is set apart for the tents,
some $50 of which were erected. One of the
best features of the camp is the parade ground,
which is more than 100 acres in extent and
almost as level rs a floor. Upon, this ground
took place the parades, drills and sham battles

termaster-General; G. 7. Hutchinson, Provost
Marshal; s c. Warren, Sergeant-AIajOr; F. S.
Browning Wagon master. All day long Tues
day trains Of ex-soldiers were arriving at the
grounds and at o'clock in the afternoon the
finest band parade that ever took place in the
State was witnessed by thousands. Some
twenty-five bands were in line, under the di-
reciion of Drum-Major Bembertson, of Str0ms-
burgh. During the day a meeting of the ex-
Union Prisoners Association was held on the
ground, at which some 250 veterans were
present.

and the second highest in the United States.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE PUEBLos.
1t helps one out amazingly in trying to learn
something of this queer cOnglomeration of old
Mexican civilization and young American pro-
gress to know that the word Pueblo" which
is derived from the Spanish, means people"
or in Mexican parlance town or camp of van
quished Indians living in q state of semi
civilization. Pueblo, or the Pueblos, since
there are three of them, nestles in beautiful
coyeor BASIN partially surrounded by the spurs
of the Greenhorn range of the Rocky Noun
tains, in a latitude of 3o' 2S' north, and enjoy
ing q peculiarly eguable and healthful climate.
The Pueblos are governed by three distinct
municipalities, all duly organized and Ofhcered.
First, there is the old original town, section
from old Mexico, with its quaint adobe houses
and picturesque indwellers, well fveSeOed and
succeed with picturesque dirt. Then comes
Central Pueblo, a flOurishing, lively town, con-
tiguous to the river, and to the south OF this
South Pueblo, full of American enterprise and
activity. The Bessemer Steel Works, farther
out on the plains are surrounded by q prosper
GUS and progressive people.
South Pueblo sprang into existence with the
eez l'letion of the Baby road" US the famous
L erow gauge-the Denver and Rio Grande-
has been named. A beautiful town is building
up, including elegant public and private strue-
lures 1t has q grand hotel, built within the
year at a cost of $175,e00. The State Insane
Asylum, located at this point is q beautiful
and commodious building and the court house
is one of the finest in the State The country
surrounding Pueblo is adapted to gardening,
grazing and the growth of small fruits. Fine
Artesian wells, carrying TO the city the waters
of the mountain lakes, after they have filtrated
to subterranean pockets thousand feet below,

Mountain, or Denver, Salt Lake City, etc,
and 8 a. N. in all points west OF the
Rocky mountains, or the Pacific division.
The meridian time for the United States
is based from east to west upon the
time at the seventy fifth, ninetleth, one
hundred and fifth and one hundred ana
twentieth meridians, respectively. The
territory included in the plan is 6ubdi-
vided so that the Provincial standard
governs roads in the Dominion of CANADA
east of Quebec and the other British Prov
inces. The Eastern standard governs
roads in the New England and Middle
states, West Virginia, Virginia and North
Carolina and South Carolina. The Cen
trail standard governs roads in the re-
mainder of the Southern Atlantic and
Gulf states, and the Western states to
line drawn from north TO south, west OF
the Missouri river, and crossing 1t only to
touch terminal points Of roads or
divisions at Fort Pierre, Dako-
ia, Fort Niobrara, North Platte and
Culbertson. Neb., and Fort Wallace and
Sargent, Kan, Mustang spring, Texas, and
q point at the junction Of the Rio PecoS
and Rio Grande rivers. The Mountain
standard finds its extreme western points
at Missoula, Montana, Salt Lake and FITS
CO, Utah. and Fort Yuma, Arizona. The
Pacific standard governs all roads west OF
the imaginary line on which these points
are located, and all other territory west Of
the Rocky mountains. In each case tbs
standard governs the sections mentioned
! from the extreme northern to the extreme
southern points of the railroad systems O
! the United States and Canada. Th'
plan makes the division in accordance
with no geographical or scientific
divisions, and is arbitrary only II
SO far as is necessary to make the stand
ards change only at terminal points, or
the ends of divisions, as it would be i'm
practicable to change the standard at
point midway on division of road. Tn
plan, though devised simply in the interes
of practical railroad work, conforms yer
nearly to those presented by scientists L
regard to the establishment of standards u
time.
At the meeting of the General Tim
convention in st. Louis on April II, wher
railroad managers representing 5000
miles of road in operation in the Norther
and Western states were present, tn
standards were unanimously adopted. Tn
Southern Railway Time convention at Il
meeting in New York Friday also unan
mously adopted these standards.

THE CIGAR nAKERS.

They Hold q Meeting and Resolve to Ask
an Increase of Wages or Strike Till the
Last Armed Foe Expires
A Meeting of the Cigarmakers' union
was held last evening at Druids' hall, No.
81 Jackson street, for the purpose of TAX
ing definite action with reference to an in
creased compensation Of 81 per thousand
forthe manufacture of cigars. John No
Ian presided, J. Il. Reinhardt Ofhciated as
secretary, and there was present e large
attendance. Along in 1873, when the gov
eminent tax on cigars and manufactured
tobacco was increased, factors and deal
ers being unable to increase
the price of the commodities,
reduced the compensation of hands, with
the assurance that when sales reached
such limits as to permit their so doing, the
pay of employees should be in
creased. This has been done from
time to time since the reduction
mentioned, and affairs between manufac-
turer and employees have progressed to a
large extent satisfactorily. At the last
session of congress, as is known, the tax
on manufactured tobacco was reduced,
| and employees realizing the saving that
| would accrue to manufacturers after May
l, made the demand for an increase of
81 per thousand over that at present
paid. The general impression seems to
| be that manufacturers will accede to the
demand. A meeting is reported to have
been held last week, at which the subject
is said to have been fully canvassed, re-
sulting in a ddcision to comply with
the terms proposed as soon as the
| same are announced. A number
of manufacturers were seen personally,
all of whom denied there had been any
meeting, but stated they had already an-
ticipated the request for an increase, OF
would consider the same when it was sub
mitted. The meeting last night was helt
with closed doors, but line of action was
agreed upon substantially to refer thC
matter to employees of shops for action
| These will, to-day or tomorrow, present {
| petition for the increase sought to theil
employers, who will be requested to fur
nish an answer at an early day, to the enc
that reports may be made to an adjourned
meeting to be held next Monday night L
satisfactory no further agitation of tn
subject will be had; otherwise matter
will be so shaped as to eliminate withou
further delay. Members of the union be
lieve that their requests will be concede
and no occasion for a strike occur

A landlords Complaint.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Of late we have seen in every daily
paper in this town repeated urgings to
build dwelling houses" for the many who
come here and seek such, and not finding
what they seek, turn their faces to other
cities, ETC., etc.
The papers stated Just as often that no
better investment vas to be found the
world over than building 'houses for rent
in st. Paul. Being patriotic citizen,
owning some nice lots aud harboring
earnest wishes to invest my means to best
advantage, 1 at once began to look forward
TO building some dwellings for rent As
q preliminary measure l interviewed
several gentlemen of my acquaintance,
Of whom I knew they were owners and
Ieasers of dwellings, to get some reliable
hints and their own experience. Mr.. Editor!
don't want to build dwellings to rent
now. They utterly discouraged me. They
advised me to lock my money IN my iron
trunk, sit on it and bark all night; they
advised me to spend my wealth in royal
riotirg; to buy government bonds at So
per cent. and put them il vault; to make
a trip around the world in Z. S. man-of-
war: to give it to the poor; to build pri-
vate railroad; to hunt for the North Polar
| Open sea, etc. One said: 20, yes, renting
dwellings, is a good thing, much gooder
| than getting the rent. I sold my dwell
! ings at halt cost. SOLD
my homestead, too. I am .
renter now. enjoy it hugely; my land
! lord does not, know It. If ever again
build house to rent, VIII have dyna
mite cartridge in the cellar and wire
| leading TO an electric battery outside. Sc
| that I can blow the roof of and the door;
! and windows out, when get no rent anC
can't get the renter out either. The land
lords here are outlaws and the renters have
them every time. A man who pays hi
rent forces you to spend it from mont
to month in improvements, or will leave
and the man who pays no rent is satisfied
to stay forever, and the law efectually pro
tects him."
Mr.. Editor. I will say no more now
but allow me to request you t.

The Rire1,.

The river rose four inches during the

also that below the bridge, ARE overfowed to

further advance they will soon be totally

river has attained its extreme height for

Standard Time.

Fifty-six standards of time are now en-
ployed by the various railroads of the
country in preparing their schedules of
running time. These are arbitrarily fixed
upon the tims of some railroad center or
terminal point. In making up tables for
through trains, where from two to half
dozen different standards are employed,
this causes much confusion and annoy
arce. To rid themselves of this annoyance
is problem that has long been considered
by railroad men, and though innumerabIe
plans have been suggested IN the past,
none offered the needed relief. Recently
