A Labor Demonstration.

BEATRICE, Neb., June o. Especial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. IA largely attended la
Dor meeting is addressed here tonight by
EX-Brakeman Rogers and Mr.. Kilroy of
Lincoln. The chairman of the meeting was
Mayor Kretsinger The occupants of the
stage were locomotive engineers and Knights
of Labor. State Master Hubbard of the
knights of Labor yesterday issued a circular
from here asking Officially the Knights of
Labor to boycott the "Q.n road and the mer-
chants and the patrons of the road generally.
Ex-Brakeman Rogers is a smooth talker and
won many sympathizers among the
labOring class tonight. Mr.. Kilroy said
the 90" owned nearly the entire press of
the state and the laboring people called on
them to call off their dogs of war, the great
est among which was the Lincoln Journal
He complimented THE BEE by saying she did
dare say little in favor of the laboring man,
but not enough. Kilroy advised the people
to boycott the papers that advertised in an
editorial way in favor of the 'Qn and against
organized labor. The coming political party
may well look to their laurels, because the
labor vote will decide the question of the
proper man, not party.

Thomas has made trips TO the Burmudas and

physicians in the country, and during the
past two years has been almost constantly
out of his seat in the house, fighting for a

consultation of his physicians, and it was
believed that dissolution was at hand. The
doctors gave up all hope of his recovery and
told the family that he would probably die
within few hours.
The captain has great mental as well as

CRETE, Neb., June 23-[Special to The
BEE. OF all the improvements made on the
assembly grounds this year, probably those
made on the pavilion will be most appreci-
ated by the general multitude of assembly
goers. This queer structure, which, In shape,
is not unlike huge tortoise, has been en-
larged by substantial frame additions on
three sides-sixteen feet on the east and
west, and thirty two feet on the north. This
doubles the seating capacity and makes the
entire building 112x12S. The ground thus
covered is nicely graded and smoothed, and
will be filled with comfortable new benches.
Six thousand people can now find ample
room in the pavilion and, by the use OF
chairs, and as much expert crowding as was
often INDUCED in last year, another thousand
might be sheltered under its roof.
Et AS the time for the beginning of the as
sembly draws near the prospects for an i'm
mense attendance daily brighten and multi
ply. Reports of the intended attendance OF
individuals or companies are received III
large numbers by every mail. Rev. Lind
sey, of the Congregational church, OF York,
has, while in Crete attending the commence
ment exercises of Doane college this week,
engaged ten tents for members of his church
who propose attending the assembly. ms
is fair instance of the active interest now
being manifested by churches all over the
state Lodge No. II, of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, of Lincoln, has lately
purchased a lot on the assembly grounds and
planned to erect n $4,000 headquarters, AS
it will be impossible to erect their building
before the beginning of the coming session,
they will pitch large tent on their lot for a
headquarters this year, and have their build
ing ready for another year. The Y. M. &.
"A. headquarters, although begun but few
days since, are already well under way and
will be finished ERE the required time. All
the buildings now under process OF erection
will be ready for occupancy at the begin ming
of the session. The grounds are now being
moved the trees trimmed and everything
got in readiness for the pitching of tents and
the accommodation of numerous guests. The
worth and attractiveness of the musical de-
partment will be increased not little by the
addition of Mrs. p. V. Nj. Raymond, the
efficient and well known organist of Lincoln

A special from VI Paso, Tex, says /;
The movement of Mormons toward Mex
leo is assuming definite shape and large
proportions. Recently a dispatch was
published to the effect that the Mexican
government had granted concessions oi
10000 900 acres of land to them, and that
they had purchased 10000 square miles
of Indian land in Mexico. There is DC
foundation for such statements. Every
foot Of land claimed by the Aormons IL
Mexico 80 far has been by purchase from
private owners. The government would
no doubt, refuse to make them q conces
sion of land. The Zuni Indians live IL
New Mexico and not in Old Mexico, ant
cannot dispose OF a single acre OF thei
reservation.
The facts are that the Mormons haT
quietly bought from the owners iars
bodies Of land in northern Chihuahua
principally ia the valley OF she Gas
