favor of harmony with other interests that
might and would be brought before the con-
vention, and he was followed by several
others. all expressing the opinion that in
the appropriations from congress the Mis-
souri, had not received the attention it was
worthy of. When it came to action to be
followed in the convention, Mr.. Beadle
moved an executive session and the report
ers left the room. For two hours the session
continued with closed doors, and when it
adjourned the following resolution was
given out as the sentiment of the caucus:
Resolved, That all members of this caucus
hereby pledge themselves to support all
measures that come before the convention
looking to the improvement of the Missouri
river, and that they will demand that it re-
ceive just recognition at the hands of the
convention, being at the same time in favor
of the Improvement Of the other waterways of
the Northwest, but deem the improvement
OF the Missouri of especial Importance.
1t was announced that the following had
Deen appointed committee on resolutions:
II. B. Bullene, w. H. Beadle, j. Arthur, j. S.
Tooker, E. NJ. Cowell, L. j. Caldwell.
These gentlemen held an informal confer
ence after the meeting and discussed the
nature OF the resolution to be submitted to-
day. One was drawn in which was a
clause urging especial appropriation for the
Missouri, from Sioux City to the mouth of
the Missouri, but was not adopted. The feel
ing was expressed that no action antagonis-
tic to the railroads should be- taken. The
committee will complete the resolution this
morning.

FEARS OF CHOLERA.
Danger of Introducing the Disease
i'm Packed Fruit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Considerable
excitement has been caused among import
ers of groceries to this city by statements
showing the possibility of introducing chol-
era by infected raisins into the United
States. 1t appears that cne of the leading
houses in the trade on the Pacific coast had
advices from its agent in New York stat
ing that one of the largest buyers of i'm
ported raisins has just received a dispatch
from Malaga. telling that the product this
year is very large and of excellent quality,
and that the presence of cholera in Spain
will not act as an impediment in the way of
shipment to the United States. This is al
legged to have been accompanied by letter
from William Smith, health officer of the
port of New York, to the firm of importers,
in which he says that fruits gathered in in
fected districts, but packed and shipped
from non-infected points will not subject a
vessel to delay at quarantine. This refers
directly to the importation of raisins from
Malaga and Denla. Referring to these
statements, prominent men in the fruit
trade and experienced packers declare that
there is great danger of the introduction of
cholera microbes in TaisinS from infected
districts of Spain. as packed fruit easily alb
serbs microbes and retains them for great
length of time.

A Missing Maiden Found.

Speclal 10 UDe GiODS
EVANSVILLE, Ind. Sept. 2.-On the
night Of Aug. 5, Nellie Farrell, about 21
years old, disappeared from the house of
her uncle. where she had taken up her resi-
dence, her father and mother both being
dead. The family thought she had gone to
visit friend in the upper portion of the
city. AS the night passed away and Nellie
failed to return, Mr.. Walton became un-
easy. Search was instituted without effect,
except to learn from several parties
that they thought they saw the young
girl about 9 o'clock on the night of her
disappearance. She then appeared to be
laboring under great excitement and was
vending her way to the river. Investiga-
tion the following day proved that Nellie
and her alleged betrayer, young man
named August Doern, had met few even
ings before, and on the poor. deluded girl
begging her seducer to fulfill his promises
and marry her and save her the terrible dis
grace then pending, he cast the girl aside
with a curse and informed her that he
would leave next day for parts unknown to
any person but himself. This alleged ac-
ton of Doerns worked sadly upon Miss
Farrell's mind, and on the story becoming
known it was the general belief that Nell
lie, in fit of desperation, had drowned
herself. Yesterday morning Mr.. Hansen,
farmer, came into the city and inquired
for Mr.. Walton, saying he thought he had
found the missing girl, and desired
to appraise her uncle of the fact. Mr..
Hansen conducted the anxious uncle to a
neighboring farmer, where the missing girl
was found. The meeting of Nellie and her
uncle was affecting in the extreme. The
poor girl wept and begged forgiveness,
which was freely given, and after little
delay the party were brought back to
Evansville. Nellie was safely placed in
he hands of her aunt.

The Hennepin canal commission, con.

pected that when the resolutions are re-
ported by the committee there will be q

time it was stated that there was no antag-

A proposition was made to organ

of one from each state at large and two
from each city located on the banks of the
Missouri, the commission to have power at
any time to call conventions of delegates
from the states interested to memorialiZe

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Southern Convention i'm the I'M
terest of WOrkingmen.

terest Of WOrkingmen.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 2.-The first
annual convention of the Knights of Labor
of Texas met here yesterday for the purpose
of organizing state assembly. One hund-
red and four delegates, including eight
colored men, were in attendance. The pro-
ceedings were secret. All the delegates are
extremely non-communicative, being bound
by oath not to divulge anything. Much
speculation is being indulged in by
outsiders respecting the probable coal
ition of the Knights of Labor with
the prohibitionists, owing to the fact
that Knights of Labor throughout the state
generally are reforming from the use of
strong drink. 1t is surmised that they are
preparing to make overtures to the Pro-
hibition party, especially as number of
brief interviews show that a large majority
OF the delegates sympathize with the pro-
hibition movement, which is assuming
widespread proportions in the state. An
other report current states that seeds are
being planted for a Farmers union, with
the hope of making common crusade
against what is described as ''the excess of
capital" The agreement entered into be-
tween the executive committee of Assem-
bly, 10, knights of Labor, and the officers
of the Texas & st. Louis railway last Sat-
urday, will, it is thought, be proposed by
the state assembly as means Of
hereafter settling strikes in Texas. 1t
prescribes, first. that those who have quit
work by strike shall be reinstated and shall
not be discharged for any action taken by
the strikers in regard to wages due, but this
is not to cover negligence, intemperance or
neglect Of duty; that thirty days notice
shall be given to men before being dis
charged, except for cause, and in case of a
raise or reduction in wages similar notice
shall be given. Old employees are to have
the preference of work, and all differences
between companies and their employees shall
be settled by arbitration.

a Strange Disease.

CHARLESTON, Va, Sept. "A great
deal Of excitement prevails on Sycamore
creek, Clay county. this state, over ma
lignant form of disease which cannot be
explained by the local physicians. Every
hour brings news of another death. The
malady is thought to be tiux, but is more
fatal disorder, with symptoms similar to
cholera. In the family of Esquire Size
more four sons died within few hours.
Others of the family are sick with the dis
ease. It is mostly confined to children,
who are attacked with sickness and die in a
very short time, being paralyzed with pain.
Sycamore creek region, where the disease
prevails, is sparsely settled with hardy
class of mountaineers. The air and water
are pure. A prominent physician of this
city has volunteered his services to investi-
gate the disense. 1t seems to be of the
same nature as that which prevailed in
Southwest West Virginia and the adjoining
part of Kentucky last year.

Convention Notes.

Col. William Thompson, delegate from
Bismarck-We are here to throw in our
mite in favor of the Northwest, and also to
secure share of the appropriation for the
upper Missouri river. By doing this, great
inducements will be held out for more set
tiers in that valley. The season in which
which we can use the river for transporta-
ton is short one, but that is all the more
reason why we should be given better
facilities. Another argument is that by
improving the river you can get more set
tiers: by the increase. of settlers YOU get
trees planted and the ground cultivated.
The trees shade the snow and make it melt
slower, cultivation makes the ground more
receptive for water, and hence decreases
the danger of inundation on the lower
river.
