NEBRASKANS ARE IN LUCK.
The Crops in That State Are Good
for This Yeap.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 16.-The State
Journal tomorrow will devote several
columns to the crop outlook in Nebraska.
Reports are from nearly every county
in the state, and as rule indicate q
more favorable condition of affairs than
estimates made some weeks ago.
While early conditions were most
favorable, lack of rain in
the month of July had the effect of cut
ting short what would probably have
been the largest yield in the history OF
the state The section most unfavora-
bly, affected is the tier of counties on the
extreme southern boundary west from
Webster 10 the Colorado line. Here the
drouth was most severe, extending
from the middle of June almost up to
tine present date, and it is doubtful if
the WELD is sufficient for home con-
SUMPTION. An OFFSET occurs, however,
in the northeast ana north central
section, where the average is fully
up to and in many cases eX-
ceeding tie ysald of 1889: added to this
is largely increased acreage, mainly

FULL OF CONFIDENCE.
Strikers Say the Central Is in a
DemOralized Shape.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-One of the
largest mass meetings held by the strlk-
ing railroad men since they went out
took place to-day in Wendels' hall on
Forty-fourth street. Fully 1900 men
were present, and they were full of con-
fidence and enthusiasm. There was
great excitement when dispatch was
read describing the strike at Buffalo.
Many other encouraging kilograms from
Various points were read and applauded.
District Master Workman Lee, who
came from the conference with Mr..
PoWderiy and other leaders, delivered
an address, which expressed full conf
dence in the success of the movement
and was warmly received. The road
was described as In a demOraliZed con-
dition, and unable to hold out much
longer. Nothing could be learned to-
day as to the details of the proceedings
ct the various conferences of the strike
leaders. 1t was said that Mr.. Hayes
would return to Philadelphia tonight.
Vice President Webb. of the Central,
left for his country residence at 6 p. m.,
but left word to be notified by telegraph
if Mr. PoWderlv should call this even
ing. Mr. Webb said the strike at Buff
falo was not so serious as had been re-
ported. Supt. Burrows had wired him
that only seventy men were on strike.
Mr.. Webb will be at his Office to-mor-
row for short time, but does not eX-
pect Mr. Powderly to call then. Mr.
PoWderly would not see reporters to-day,
but at / o'clock this evening he ap-
peared at the st. Cloud hotel, sent for the
reporters, and made a statement to
them. He said that MesSrs Hayes and
Holland and himself had been trying
to learn why the Central discharged
members of the Knights of Labor. They
had obtained the version of the MEM
bers. Vice President Webb would not
be communicated with until Monday.
1t would not be proper to
state in advance what would be
said to Mr.. Webb. 1t would be unfair to
Mr.. Webb and might cause misunder-
standing. No action could be taken in
any event until Monday because Mr..
Eolland IS the only member of the gen.
eral executive board now in this city,
and it takes three to make quorum.
Messrs. Wright and Devlin are expected
by Monday, and then such action as may
be taken will be legal. Everything that
can be done to bring the contest to
speedy and satisfactory end, said Mr..
Powderly in conclusion, is being done.

Capt. Hanft, Thomas D. O'Brlen, Geo.
Mitsch, Tom F. Martin and all the 9TH
ers are well known, popular and hon
est citizens of the county; and, if they
are all elected, as seems almost certain.
the taxpayers of the county will have
no fear but that their every interest
will be cared for and looked after.
The large hall of the Newmarket
theater was filled with interested spec
tators, among whom were many of the
most prominent Republicans and Demo
Gratis in the city. Those of the opposi-
tion who were present conceded that
the ticket would prove winnera as
against any ticket that can be named by
the notorious "kid' combination. The
convention took things easy and every
man was given an opportunity to be
heard on all questions, regardless of the
wishes of several veteran manipulators.
AS result of this there are to-day 10
soreheads to be found in the Democratic
ranks, and this fall. as last spring, the
Democracy of Ramsey county will pre-
sent an unbroken front to disorg an
lied and cliQue-ridden opposition.

NEW COMPLICATIONS.
Central and West Shore Switch
men at Buffalo Revolt.

BUFFALO, Aug. 16.-The strike on
the New York Central road was further
complicated this morning. At 8 o'clock
the switchmen in the Central yards
struck work, and those on the West
Shore system in this city followed suit
There are upwards of 200 men in the
movement. and freight blockade at
East Buffalo is imminent. The clos
ing of the West Shore for freight is the
most serious aspect thus far, as 1t COM
pletely cripples the CentraPs facilities
for forwarding freight. To say that the
local striking Knights of Labor are
jubilant would be to put it mildly.
They are overjoyed at the turn affairs
have taken, and seem more confident of
success than ever. They held an i'm
portant meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of discussing the situation.
Maj. MCGOWAN, of the executive COM
mittee from Albany, says:
buffalo is considered the key to the situa-
ton and we will do our best to hold it.
MADE one prediction and that materialized
so will make another: Inside of FIVE days
you will see steps taken by the railroad COM
pany looking toward arbitration; you mark
The live stock shipments from this
point, despite the assistance given by
the West Shore, LackaWanna and Erie,
are at least a week behind. There is
no.knowing now how long it will take
to get caught up. 1t was learned to-
night that the switchmen On the Central
and West Shore petitioned for Chicago
wages before the strike In the East.
They asked that an answer be returned
to the petition on or before Monday,
Aug. Is. No concession has been re-
ceived.
Therefore" says one of the labor agita-
tors now in town looking on and encourag-
ing the strike, 1.-The switchmen were ready to
strike next Monday anyway, if this had not
been precipitated. AS it is now, the switch
men declare their men must be taken back,
and the wages of all raised, too"
The police are all sleeping at the sta
tion houses tonight. ready for call to
quell a disturbance at any moment.
Up to the present hour everything is
quiet. The strikers are orderly. Su-
perintendent Halsted, of the d., L. q
W., sent orders here to refuse New York
Central freight. Division Superintend-
ent Brunn, of the Erie, said that the

Throughout the cotton region, from
South Carolina westward to Texas,
the weather during the past

some sections of Alabama cotton has
been injured by rust, and in North Car

for Eastern points," he said. "We
take only freight that is consigned to
us, and have all we can do to handle
our own business" The big yards at
Cheektowaga are filed with loaded
freight cars, and have been for a week.
Freight was just beginning to be moved
from there when the switchmen struck
today, and this handicapped the road
considerably. The big yard at East
Buffalo, the biggest of the Central's
system, is filled with freight. The main
tracks are clear, but the passenger
trains are said to be late, having to move
slowly on account of dangerous switches.
Tonight the freight blockade is conf
hood of its being lifted for several days,
if indeed then. The railroad officials
expect 100 men here on Monday to take
strikers places but decline to say where
they are to come from. The striking
switchmen have decided to boycott
Central freight and should any road at
tempt to handle freight transferred
from the Central it will be promptly
tied up. The roads have accepted
the situation and will avoid
trouble by remaining neutral.
The switchmen had a long session
this afternoon, but beyond the fact that
boycott was determined upon, nothing
can be learned of what transpired. 1t
is, however, learned from an authentic
source that in all probability the SUI
preme council of United Order of Rail-
way Employees of the United States will
convene here next week. The order
comprises the Locomotive Firemen's
Brotherhood, Switchmen's Mutual Aid
association, Brotherhood of Railroad
Nroi nd 10
way Conductors. F. P. Sargent is
the grand president and grand master
Sweeney, of the switchmen's organiza-
ton, has been trying all day to commu-
nicate with him. 1t begins to look as
if there was going to be a row before
the Central trouble is over. The lead
CTS of the railroad labor organizations
are about agreed that the action of the
New York Central is the first step in a
well-defned plan agreed upon by rail-
road managers to wipe out organized
labor on all roads in the United States.
Superintendent Burrows made what
seems to have been grieyiOuS mistake.
He refused to receive a committee
of Switchmen who called to present
grievances. This action is widely at
variance with Vice President Webb's
circular, which stated that the doors OF
the cOmpany's office were always open
to committees from the cOmpaDy'S en-
ployes, and precipitated fresh trouble
for the Central. At midnight tonight
the strikers are still in session. The
men we're quiet and orderly and kept
away from the railroad yards. No at
tempt was made to prevent violence in
the employment of new men and at
no time were the services of the police
detail needed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.- The dis
patch from St. Paul about the mystic
rious operations OF II. d. Minot, presi-
dent of the Great Northern. excited
much comment here. Minot is GER

no one here knows exactly what he rep
resents. lie claims that these offices
are Tor the San Joaquin Valley railroad
company, which proposes to run from
Fresno to this city, but this is absurd, as
the rent IF the offices is more tHan any
small company could stand. The ac-
copied theory haze is that Mlnot is in
charge of tho Great Northern interests.
Thas company has surveyed Ioute
from Butte City, Mont, to Boise CITY,
Idaho, thence through the Lasscn pass

Rock Island Switchmen at Chi
cago Quit Work.

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.--The strike among
the Rock Island switchmen at Forty
seventh street was renewed at IL o'clock
tonight, and all traffic was stopped.
The cause of the trouble dates back
forty-eight hours. A man named
James Murphy was discharged by
Yardmaster Carey for intoxication, it is
alleged. Forty switchmen Immediately
struck, and went back to work on the
promise of Carey that Murphy would be
reinstated, last night Carey left orders
that Murphy should not be set to work.
AS consequence, the men went out
again. Freight trains could not move
anywhere between the depot yards and

tiality of the convention in its action on
the nominees of the citizens committee
can be judged of when it is stated that
of the four citizens candidates for the
house Endorsed by the convention all
are Republicans, one of them hailing
from a ward that gives upwards of 700
majority for the Democratic ticket in
season and out of season. Another in
stance of the wise impartiality Of the
convention is to be found in its nomi-
nees for the three district judgeships to
be filled at the coming election. Judge
Kerr. Republican, was nominated
simply because he has made an
excellent judge, and the delegates
to Yesterdays convention desired to
emphasize the fact that the Democratic
party of this county is heartily and
earnestly in favor of making the ju-
dietary truly and really non-partisan.
OF the nominees on the county ticket
too much cannot be said. All of them,
