CHEYENNE TO CHICAGO.
= Description ct the Trip OH the New
Through Line.

Special Correspondence to The Leader.
CHICAGO, Feb. ga trip over the
Cheyenne & Burlington from Cheyenne
to Omaha is one which-both from the
fact that part of the road is but newly
constructed, and the character of the
country which the whole road trayerses-
is indeed interesting. Leaving Cheyenne
at 8 p. m. the traveller is landed in Omaha
at $3.50 p. m the following day, the only
stops on the way being made at Sterling,
Holyoke, Holdrege, Hastings and Lin
coin.
For the first 100 or $50 miles from
Cheyenne nothing more interesting than
the condition of the country in regard to
feed for cattle is to be observed; and look
ing at this, one naturally regrets that but
few places are available for the ranging of
cattle. In a great many places a black
streak in the moonlight, for the first 300
miles of the trip is made during the
night, shows that the plow has been at
work.
Sterling, which place is reached about
midnight, is a good example of what a
railroad will do for a town. Situated on
the Cheyenne & Burlington near the
crossing of the line over the Platte river,
in the midst of a rapidly settling country,
its present prosperity is only excellcd by
its future hopes. Within the past few
years it has grown rapidly, and now num-
bers some 5000 inhabitants. The main
town is situated about two miles from the
line of the Cheyenne & Burlington, but
with its present rate Of progress there are
good prospects of these two miles being
needed to contain the town.
Holyoke, reached about 1870 a. m,
does not at present present a very cityied
appearance, being a settlement OF about
1000 inhabitants. From IIolyoke to
Holdrege the run, about $50 miles, is
made in six hours. Like Sterling, Hol-
drege is rapidly moving forward. The
first sound heard when the train stops at
that point is that of carpenters at work.
In every direction new buildings can be
seen. The country here presents a fine
appearance. On all sides the land is I'M
der cultivation, and Holdrege is destined
to become the center of a rich agricul-
tural district.
Cheyenne & Burlington. officials claim
that their line from Holdrege to Cheyenne
will, within two years, be well settled and
populated. Should this prove to be the
case, Cheyenne will reap greater benefits
from the new line than many people i'm.
agine. 1t will be the market point for all
Western Nebraska, and with the extern
sion Of the Cheyenne & Burlington and
Cheyenne & Northern next summer will
be an important commercial point.
This new line of road is remarkably well
laid. Running at the rate of forty miles
an hour, a train on a newly laid road is
apt to use passengers up pretty badly, but
from the running on this line it is difficult
to tell where the new road merges into the
old one.
From Holdrcgc to Omaha the run is
through n pretty stretch Of country.
hastings, b~oasting her 5000 people and
six street cars, and Lincoln with 40, 900
souls, are each the center Of rich and
prosperous agricultural districts.

The Eagle Can't Be Downsd.

From the Rockies comes story
that three vultures attacked an eagle
in his nest on mountain peak the
other day Although attacked from
three points, the king of birds gal
lantly held his own and slew two of
the vultures. The manner in which
the eagle did this was peculiar. Sing
ling out one Of the attacking birds it
grasped it tightly about the neck,
burying its talons deeply in the flesh,
and then, rising almost perpendicu-
larly for about 100 feet, allowed its
prisoner to drop in stunned condi-
ton ON the rocks below. Two falls
served to kill the first victim, but
three was required to knock out the
second. The survivor, seeing the
fate which had befallen its compan-
ions, turned tail and started rapidly
down the mountain side, uttering
shrill cries as it flew.-Boston jour

WASHINGTON, March 90 The
speaker laid before the house letter
from the secretary of the treasury trans
hitting an estimate from the secretary
of the interior of the appropriation for
the support of the Naturalization Sioux
Indians in Minnesota, by asking that
the following item be added to the APP
preparation bill: For the support of
full blood Indians in Minnesota belong
ing to the above named band of Sioux
Indians in Minnesota who have re-
sided in said state since May 20, 1856,
and severed their tribal relations,
$4,000 to be expended by the secretary
of the treasury in the purchase OF agri-
cultural implements, cattle, horses and
lands, and in making improvements
thereon; provided, as the secretary may
deem to the best interest of the Indians,
and may cause to be erected for their
use school house to cost not over 81
600; provided also, he may appoint a
suitable person to make the above men
toned expenditures under his direction,
the expenses of the same to be paid out
of this appropriation. Judge MacDOn-
aid, in writing Commissioner Atkins on
the subject, says: 1.-The Indians must
have more implements and stock with
which to work their land, as they are
becoming completely self-SuppOrting,
and i'm some instances must have more
land than beef allotted them" Bishop

ject.

The State Central Committee
Meeting Yesterday a Har-

Two pitchers of ice water were car
ried into Parlor X at the Ryan, where
the Republican state central committee
was billed to meet yesterday afternoon,
and for the two hours and half that
the committee was in secret cOnclave
the contents furnished the only refresh
ments partaken of by those present.
Chairman John S. Pillsbury, of Mime
apoliS, presided, and when Secretary
Joel Heatwole had called the roll, it was
discovered that there were two alb
sentees, one of whom, D. +. Morgan, of
Albert Lea, was represented by Hon.
Stanford Newell, who held his proxy,
while A. +. Jackson was not represented
at all. There was considerable discus
sion as to the time for holding the
state convention which is to select the
delegation to represent Minnesota in
the national convention at Chicago on
June 10. and some of those present IA
Vored assembling early in May. The I'd
of that month was suggested, but this
was opposed by E. w. Randall, of
Morris. who explained that about
that time the farmers would be busy
with seeding, land therefore a few weeks
later would be more convenient for
them to attend the county conventions.
This argument proved potent one, land
after general interchange of views on
the subject Wednesday, May 16, 1888,
was finally fixed upon as the date of the
state convention, which will be held in
Market hall, in this city. From the out
set it was evident that the meeting was
harmonious and the programme gave
every evidence of having been carefully
ton to the propositions of those en-
trusted with it was feared. Particularly

A Bill to Protect Free Labor From
Competition With Convict La

A Bill to Protect Free Labor From
Competition With Convict La
Dor.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Mr.O'Neill,
of Missouri, introduced bill in the
house to-day to protect free labor from
competition with convict labor by pro-
yiding that all articles manufactured by
prison labor should only be sold in the
state where produced, and imposing
penalties for violation. Mr.. O'Neill
also reported bill to establish de-
partment of labor, and one to
prohibit the government purchas-
ing articles made by convict labor.
Mr.. Tarsney, of Michigan, from the COM
mittee on labor, reported a bill to pro-
hibit the employment of convict or
alien labor on public works. The reso-
luton assigning four days for the trans
action of business from that committee
was reported by the committee on labor,
and led to considerable debate. The
resolution was finally adopted. 1t sets
aside March 20 and 81, April IL and
Nav 16 for the purpose stated
in the resolution. The floor was then
accorded to the committee on labor, and
bills providing for extending the eight
hour law to letter-carriors, and referring
to the court of claims for adjustment
the accounts of government wOrkmen
and mechanics arising under the eight
hour law, were reported and discussed

insure activity which is so vitality
necessary now that every vote possible
must be brought out in the next cam
paign.
AS far as state politics was concerned,
nothing was touched upon, it being the
sentiment of the committee that it
would be
HL-TIIED AND IRREGULAR
to have politics mixed up with a contest
for national ticket, and would not adj
vance the interests of the candidates for
state offices. Besides it was In the prov
ince :of fthe convention just called to Sc
lect an entirely new state central COM
mittee if it saw fit, but this was UNI
likely, Judging from the precedent al
ready established. 1t was a group of
smiling, satisfed-looking gentlemen
that greeted the representatives of the
press when the parlor door was unlocked
shortly before o'clock and the visitors
allowed to enter and learn the result of
the conference. Before adj0urning a
motion prevailed that the committee
should Ge called together again by the
chairman ii any necessity arose for
such action.
Secretary Joel Heatwole stated that
he would issue the call for the state con-
ventiOn within two or three days, and
that the chairmen of the county commit
tees would govern themselves accord
ingly. Each county would hold its con-
vention at a time best suited to the con-
venience of the voters in it, but the
committee thought sixty days would be
sufficient to arrange all the preliminaries
for these primaries, as they might be
called. Attention was called to the fact
that the Republican convention only
antedated by one day the gathering of
THE DEMOCRATIC FORCES,
but the explanation given was that it
would not take more than day to COM
plete the selection of delegates, and
hence no clash of opposing interest was

The reduction has been appOrtioned

SIOUX CITY, To-, March 20.-Much
anxiety is felt by the settlers on the low
lands beyond the bluffs north of the
city because of the prospect of an over
flow like that of 1881. The snow fall in
the upper river country has been very
great during the past winter, and the
Warmweather is melting it rapidly. The
ice in the channel at this point moved
about o'clock this morning, covering the
pier of the new bridge, from the Gals
son of which the workmen who were
filling it had just emerged. Work has
necessarily been abandoned at this pier.
although three or four days would have
completed it. A gorge formed about five
miles up the river this forenoon, and the
water is reported rising there at the
rate of six inches an hour. In front of
the city opposite Prospect Hill another
gorge, extending part way across, has
formed, the ice being piled fully twenty
feet high. Just below the city near the
mouth of the Floyd, another gorge has
formed. and the water has backed up
Oh the low lands, sweeping away Me-
Namara'S grading camp, where work
was being done on the approach to the
new bridge. Unless the ice gives way
in short time there is danger of seri-,
Gus overflow and great many people
