FAILED TO AGREE.
The Farmers and the Knights Haven't
Struck n Plan Yet.


ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. AT the session
today of the Farmers and Laborers' union
the joint committee of the union and the
northern alliance, appointed yesterday, re-
ported their failure TO agree upon Il plan of
consolidation ana a new committee of five
was appointed TO confer on the matter.
Ralph Beaumont, chairman of the national
legislative committee of the knights of
Labor, and one of the committee TO confer
with the committee from the Farmers and
Laborers' union, said this afternoon:
w have no intention of endeavoring to
effect n consolidation with the Farmers and
Laborers' union. AS 1 understand il, the
northern and southern farmers alliances,
the Farmers Mutual Benefit association and
the Agricultural Wheel have consolidated
and we are to confer with them with q view
of furtherlng the interests of both organza-
tons in the way of cooperation, not CONSOLE
Gation. We are both working for the same
ends, and this conference is for the purpose
of establishing confidence in each other. We
shall agree, so that when the farmers put q
candidate in the field for either a legislative,
senatorial or presidential position, we will
support that candidate, and they will do the
same for US. II may be possible that AT
some future period we shall consolidate, but
at present we will not try anything of the

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 4-lSpecial
Telegram to FIR BEE. Carl Mueller, a
saloonkeeper, was arrested today for forgery
on a complaint sworn out by the Bank of
Commerce of this city. Mueller has been in
financial straits for some time but was
expecting money from Germany, which was
TO be here by December 1, but thus would
not help him out Of the present p~redicament.
November 30 he presented u note for $1,000
TO the Bank OF Commerce ~purporting to be
signed by g. Kloz, Henry VeiregR and
Adam Windolph, on which he drew the full
amount. Although 1t was a very clever
piece of work, the cashier became susplc'
ious that all was not right and presented the
note to the different parties, who pronounced
it a forgery. As u result Mueller was today
locked up. He evidently expected that the
money from Germany would arrive in time
TO take up the note before IL was discovered.
Later-Mullcr returned the money upon
going TO iail and was released.

HOnors ia La sale,

1t has fallen to the lot OF an American
to erect a monument to the explorer La
Sale. The situation is Lincoln park,
Chicago; the giyer Of the monument,
Judge Lambert Tree, says the Toronto
Mail. Though we in Canada have an
historic interest in La Sale, Montreal
having been his base Of operations, the
people of the western states have reason
TO honor him. He was undoubtedly the
first white man to visit the west, and to
stand on the site now occupied by
Chicago.
He went west with a definite urpos
in view-the discovery OF the route
across America to China-and he prose-
cuted his intention vigorously until he
arrived, not at China, but at the mouth
OF the Mississippi, where he was assas-
sinated. La Salie's house, near Lacbine,
is said to be still standing, though in
ruins. IL should be reserved as Canada's
memorial of the discovery Of the west.

Some Queer Features OF Their Sup

was rather. impressed n few DAYS
ago by the discovery that some OF tho
hotels in New York are run precisely
alter the fashion OF the great dry goods
houses, says Once q Week. One OF the
largest hotels in town has this system,
and II Is carried out thoroughly through
every department, Tue stores are de-
livered To the book keeping department
and then resold to the managers OF the
hotel. The bartender, for instance,
buys all the liquors, and the proprietors
o. the hotel do not care whether he
steals money over the bar or not, for
whatever goes over the bar is his own,
and he will practically be stealing from
himself.
For instance, the bookkeeper OF the
hotel sells the barteudcra certain grade
of whisky at 81. 10 "a bottle. The whisky
costs the hotel so cents. and the bar
tender retails it ut so much Il glass, so
that each bottle turns in about 81. 40.
He keeps the profits. The same arrange
ment Is made with the butcher and the
baker OF the hotel, who receive raw
Supplies and are enabled to get back
their money through the restaurant
prices. All of the assistants in the vari-
Gus departments are directly under the
control OF the chief of the department.
but the superintendent OF the hotel has
the option of discharging any one in the
house ut will.
The advantage of the plan lies in the
thorough attention to detail which the
managers of the different departments
give to their snare OF the work of car
rylng on the big c~aravansary.

How This Great Industry Was Grip
pied by the Fire.
LYNN, Mass, Dec. 4.-For the first time
since the great fire it is possible to make
reasonably accurate estimates of the loss
sustained by the shoe industry here. 1t
appears that fully 60 per cent of the shoe
and leather houses were burned out. The
number of firms burned out numbered
eighty, while fifteen sole leather cutters ana
about sixty dealers in shoe findings also
suffered by the fire. A careful estim ate of
the loss on shoes Finished and in progress OF
manufacturer is about $3.50, 900. The esti-
mated loss on sole leather is put at $500, 600,
while the loss on heel, stiifening, inner sole
on morocco leather is placed at $500, 600, and
that on machinery at S266, 900. The fire will
cause the temporary spreading of the I'M
mense shoe business of Lynn, and it looks as
II it might u some years TO bring this busi-
ness back.
