For several days the weather has
been warm and shOwery, which |
notice is causing the wheat fields to
look green and fresh. 1t is thought
that much of the early sown wheat
will be too thin, caused by the excess
sive dry weather in the fall. Early
sown wheat seldom everfails to make
better yield than late sown, though
in exceptional cases the late sown
makes the best crop.

In Early DaYs.

Kansas City Star.
Meeting a reporter who worked here
in bygone days, be said:
"YOu men don't know anything about
newspaper reporting. You ought to have
been here in early days. Then was when
you could have got the arnioa flavor of
newspaper life. You may now soak in
beer, but we used to do better. We
soaked in arnica"
"What is the meaning of your wild
jargon," We inquired.
Resuning the sweet placidity of the
remenscent mood he said:
"In early days when we used to re-
port for the daily papers here nature was
in primitive state-the town was moth
ing like it is now. There were noun
tains here then. The hills were steep,
there were no sidewalks and no street
cars The mud was occasionally pretty
deep. Then the news was scarce arti-
tie. We had to hustle for it. We wore
two pairs of shoes every day. After we
had run the town down for half day
the walking was so bad and our feet
so bruised, sprained, and swollentha
we had to get bigger pair of shoes 70
the last half Of the day. At night we
always slept sitting in our chairs-had
to do it to get the full benefit of the
arnica.
"How was that?"
"Why, at night every man put his
sore feet to soak in big bowl of arnioa.
There was a scene for a painter. Oh,
you have missed some Of the best part OF
life. You ought to have been here IN
early days. Why bless that grateful
old bowl of arnica, / smell it now"

CHICAGO BEEF sTICKERs.
six Thousand of Them on a Strike.

Six Thousand of Them on a Strike.
CHICAGO, ILL, November 1.-The threat
ened strike among the beef men at the
stock yards commenced this morning and
nearly six thousand men are now out from
the slaughter houses of G.. Z. Swift i Co.
and Nelson Morris. The trouole is over the
adoption of the ten hour system, the men
refusing to work two hours without addi-
tional pay. In these two houses there are
no hogs killed, and the employees say they
cannot accept the ten hour system. Each
of the firms employ about three thousand
men, and at present many of these are con-
gregated about the streets and on the cor
ners near the big houses, but there is as yet
no indication of trouble.
This morning wPou the beef butchers went
to work they fOunc that Foreman Welder,
of Swift's had discharged James Matthew
son, a committeeman. They also found
that the wages of laborers had not been in
creased, sothey struck. They insistnow on
having MatthewsOn reinstated, and also re-
turn to the eight hour day. Hearing that
SWift's men were out, the beef butchers en-
ployed by Nelson Morris went out. The
crowd went down to Smiths machine shop
and compelled the men there to strike. After
this they went to Armour's TOR the purpose
of calling his men out but this move was an
ticipated by the firm, who got q force of
police to guard the principal entrance and
the crowd kept away.
Between 200 aud 800 men in Libby, Mo
Neil Il Mbby's canning establishment also
went out. The reason alleged was that the
Norris establishment partly supplies the
canning firm with beef. A meeting of
strikers was held late this afternoon. No
one except knights of Labor we're admitted.
Fully 1000 non. union strikers congregated
on the outside, awaiting the action OF the
Knights of Labor. Several speeches were
made and wild applause greeted every ref
erence to the eight hour day. A motion to
make no compromise on anything short OF
eight hours was carried by a unanimous
vote. A Knightof Labor explained tonight
that the men had been offered the reinstate-
ment of the discharged men, but would now
hold out for return to the eight hour sys
tenn by all the beef houses. He said the
proprietors wauld be given until Saturday
to decide what they would do, and if they
persisted in running ten hours g general
strike would probably be ordered, which
would include Swift's, Morris and also Ar
mour's slaughter houses.

A few days ago an interesting expert
ment took place at a charcoal PIT i've
miles from town. 1t appears that the
men at the pit we're greatly blamed by
their contractor for alleged carelessness
In their work. He claimed that the re-
turns Of charcoal were insufficient for the
amount Of wood consumed, because Of
some ste IN the burning. In order to
show the falslty 0f this claim, the men
selected q new pat, placed a dozen silk
handkerchiefs al the bottom OF II and
carefully piled on top Of them sixteen
cords OF wood. 4 fire was started and
the wood burned. Upon the coal being
removed the handkerchiefs were taken
out and found to be wholly free from in
jury. The result Of the experiment 80
surprised the contractor that hs imnedi-
stely apologized to the men and ad
vaDced their contract price one half per
cent q bushel more than the contrac
calls for. In this connection il ia inter
esting to note that over $4,000 bushel
Of charcoal are turned out in the pit
here every year. The Buttes compan,f
alone utilizes 10000 bushels.

PRIESTLY PROTECTION.
The knights of Labor and the Catholic
Church.


BALTIMORE, ND, October 30.--The San
this morning has the following: Grand Mas
ter Workman t. V. Powderly, of the Knights
of Labor, called on Cardinal Gibbons
Thursday, where a conference of prelates
was held to discuss the questions affecting
the welfare of the Catholic church In the
United States, principally in relation to the
duties of Catholics who are Knights of La
Dor. Powderly had two interviews with the
cardinal, and laid before him the constitu-
tion and bylaws of the order. He also spoke
of the purposes of the knights and how in
his opinion they were an organization not
included in the prescription of the church
against secret socie ties which promise blind
obedience. The utterances of POwderly
were carefully noted and presented to the
church of bishops. 1t is said that POwderly
went away from Baltimore assured that his
organization would not be interfered with.
Sevoal Catholic priests said yesterday that
the Knights of Labor was a lawful organi-
zation. Powderly is a strict Catholic,
weekly communicate and would not coun-
tenance any society which in its workings
antsgoniZed the DEGREES of the Catholic
church. McColgar, pastor of the st. Peters
church, sent for the district master work
man, and had him explain in detail the con-
stitution of the Knights of Labor, their atti-
tude in boycotts, and other important fea-
lures of the organization. Then MOnsignor
McColgar wrote the cardinal in favor of the
Knights.

SARAH ALTHEA Welded.
A quiet Marriage TO Ex-Sudge Terry
at stockton.

On 7th inst. III the parsonage of the
Catholic church at Stockton were married
ex-Judge David S. Terry and Sarah Althea
Hill. The ceremony was as simple as II
could well be. There We're no bridesmaids,
there was no reception after the wedding
and no bridal tour Miss Hill arrived on
the steamer 7. c. Walker, at the rather
early hour of o'clock in the morning.
She remained in her stateroom until break
fast time. and about 800 o'clock left the
boat with State Treasurer Oullahan. who
was Respondent in glossy black broadcloth
and white tie, as suited the grOom's best
man. In a hack on the wharf Mr.. Terry
was in waiting, and the party drove to the
parsonage parlors, where the ceremony was
performed by Father O'Connor. The groom
was in his every day suit of black, while
the bride was dressed very plainly in a
dark wooden costume, with shawl thrown
loosely over her shoulders as protection
from the chilly morning air.
The marriage license gave the age of
Judge Terry as 81 and that of a. Sarah
Althea Hill Sharon as 81. The bride
was the only woman present, and the wit
nesses of the ceremony were few. After
the ceremony the party were driven to the
Terry mansion, in the northern part OF
Stockton which has been occupied by Gin
ton Terry, the groom's only living son.
After the wedding breakfast the groom
dropped matrimony for the law, and re-
paired to the Superior Court, where he was
engaged in an important divorce case.
Terry's son was not present at the wed
ding, but it is understood that he has been
literally provided for, his father having
bought for him a large ranch in Fresno
county.
