THE PICKLER PLAN.
Macuns Continues His Afguments-CritaP
cfsms and Doubts.

M.euns Confines His Afgunents-Critap
cisms and Doubts.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr. Macune.
representing the Farmers Alliance, con-
tinued his argument before the Ways
and Means Committee in favor OF the
Picker bill to establish sub-treasuries
for the receipt of agricultural products
and was questioned by members OF the
committee respecting the details ana
probable effect of the bill
Mr.. Bayne wished to know if one Of
feet would not be to encourage over
production. Mr.. Macune replied that
it would not, for just as soon as the
farmers calling became more profitable
than others there would be an influx OF
men into that business which would re-
suit in reaction and inally'the restora-
ton of an equilibrium. To his mind no
fixed volume of currency, no matter how
great, would meet the needs of agri-
culture. 1t wanted an elastic medium.
The farmer sold his crops in the fall
when prices were lowest and bought his
supplies before harvest when prices
were highest. Crops were marketed in
two or three months of the year and
this marketing annually caused great
stringency in money.
Mr.. Flower feared that the plan
would lead to banking on livestock,
iron, lead and silver ore. They were
getting along now in the latter direc-
ton at the other end of the Capitol. In
time the people would have every thing
Tin hook" In the course of ten years
the Government would be nursing the
children and the women working in the
field. The true remedy for the farmers
ills was the manufacturers plan. They
should regulate production, raise only
enough produce to meet the peoples
wants and thereby get fair prices.
Mr.. Macune proceeded to explain the
process proposed to regulate the issue Of
produce certificates He said that the
necessity for excluding imports of agri.
cultural products was obvious if the
quality of the certificates was to be
preserved. The certificates would con-
stitute the soundest and best currency
in the world. Probably not one-half
of the S5O,OOO,0 900 appropriation asked
for to put the new machinery in action
would be required, but the sum should
not be absolutely fixed at minimum
as in time it would be necessary to ex-
tend the system to include all of the
the products of labor not covered by
patents.
In conclusion Mr.. Macune said that
the National Alliance had not sent out
single printed petition and that those
petitions and demands now pouring in
upon Congress were the spontaneous Of
ferings of the farmers of the United
States, who were convinced that they
knew what they wanted and were going
to have it.

A NEBRASKA DECISION.
Elevators May BE Erected on Railroad
Property BY Private Parties.


LINCOLN, Neb., May 15.--About a
year ago the Farmers Alliance at Elm
wood, Cass County, applied to the Mis-
souri, Pacific for permission to erect an
elevator on the company's right of way
at that station. This the company de-
MED. The Alliance applied to the
State Board of Transportation for re-
lief. The board heard the case
and after deciding among other
things that an elevator was an
appliance necessary for the shipment of
grain and that the granting of the right
to erect elevators to other parties and a
refusal to grant the request Of these
compliments was an unjust and I'M
reasonable discrimination, ordered the
company to grant the compliments a
site for an elevator.
This order the company refused to
obey and Attorney-General Leese ap-
piled to the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus to compel the company to
obey the orders of the board.
The Supreme Court granted the writ
yesterday. The decision is Justly re-
garded as an important one, as it settles
the question of the power and jurisdic-
ton Of the Board of Transportation over
this class Of cases. It also settles the
rights Of the people to erect elevators
at the company's stations and to be &C
corded equal shipping facilities with all
others. This was test case on which
the fate of fully dozen other cases in
various parts of the State depended.

Further Particular OF tho Calamity ut
Ashley, Pa.-The Assistant Boss Respon-
sible.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1.-THE work
of attempting to rescue the imprisoned
miners at Ashley was interrupted by
heavy rush of gas at three o'clock yes
terday morning, but at seven o'clock it
was deemed safe to resume the efforts,
and large party of rescuers entered
the slope and commenced work upon
the cave beyond where three men were
found Thursday night They soon broke
through and rushed into the chamber
beyond where, in the semi-darkness,
the men stumbled over yielding bodies.
A close search revealed six blackened
corpses near the opening, none OF them
recognizable. Further along at various
places were found thirteen other bodies,
all more or less burned, but most of them
could not be recognized. The sight was
so horrible that two or three Of the
rescuers tainted away.
When the news OF the finding of the
bodies became noised about scene en-
sued around the mouth of the slope
which will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it A strong guard OF
men held back the women who pressed
forward madly to enter the mine.
Half an hour later four men appeared
bearing body on a stretcher. The
women tore away the blanket, but only
saw blackened and charred remains.
Other bodies were brought out as fast
as possible and at noon all but six of
those who were in the mine when the
cave in occurred had been found These
bodies were conveyed in ambulances to
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial. The excitement pervaded every
part of the town. and the streets in the
vicinity of the morgue were completely
blocked with people, many of whom
came from other towns.
At one o'clock two more bodies had
been brought out and search for others
was going on. The body of Michael
Henry, known to be under an immense
pile of debris. may not be found for
several days. John Allen, the assistant
fire boss, who fired the gas, is in
great agony. His face and hands
were but slightly burned. but he had in
hailed fatal after-damp. Anthony
Froine and Robert w. Roberts, the men
rescued. are in critical condition 1t
is believed they will also die.
General Superintendent Phillips in an
interview said: ''The men lost their
lives through the negligence of AS
sistant Mine Boss Allen who insisted on
relighting his lamp in the presence Of
large volumes of gas. Had he not done
SO the men now dead could all have been
rescued alive as there was a good cur
rent of air going through the chamber
where the men had taken refuge after
the cave in had taken place"
Many of the bodies have no heads,
Others are entirely nude and most Of
them are mangled and disfgured.
At eight o'clock last evening all
operations at the mines were aban-
doned. There are yet six men in the
fatal chamber.

DUN'S REPORT.
Signs Of Reaction IN the took Market-En-
couraging Reports From Most Cities
Business Failures.

Signs OF Reaction IN the stock Market-En-
cOuraging Reports From Most Cities
Business Failures.
New YORK, May 11.-R- G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says: The
stock market has rushed ahead until it
has absorbed all the money within reach
and now some signs of reaction appear,
with little selling by foreign holders.
Substantially the same phenomena have
been observed in wheat and corn and in
the market for pork products. Each has
at command limited amount ofmoney.
When that supply is absorbed, whether
by accumulation of stocks carried or by
advancing prices, a reaction is natural.
The tendency of prices during the
past week has been downward. Wheat
declined 2 cents on sales here of only
q. 600, 600 bushels, corn ia cents on
sales of -, 500, 600 bushels. while oats
are steady. The trade begins to COM
prehend that inside of thirty days new
crop of wheat will begin to come into
the market and while winter wheat is
certain to be short, the reports from
spring wheat States indicate great in
crease in acreage and good condition.
The reports from most cities are al
most uniformly encouraging. At Phila-
1elphia in the leather and boot and shoe
trades there is activity. while the wool
manufacture is hindered by apprehen-
sion of higher prices, and spinuers take
for immediate wants only. This is true
of Boston also The prices realized at
the recent flannels auctions here have a
depressing influence. At Chicago dry
goods sales exceed last years and
payments are fair. but the clothing
trade is dull and the fact that
bank ciearings are larger than ever
before finds explanation in speculative
activity in the grain and pork markets.
St Louis reports good trade and sup
plies of money equal to the demand.
while at Pittsburgh trade is rather dull:
at Cleveland fairly active, causing some
monetary str.ngency; At Milwaukee,
only fair: at St Paul. improved by re-
cent rains in the Northwest where
drought began to be feared: At Kansas
City. rather quiet and at Omaha good,
with easy money.
The monetary situation at New York
has not been altogether satisfactory.
The foreign trade of the port is more
satisfactory than was expected. showing

Mexico's Duty on Paper.

CITY OF MEXICO. May 15.-An author
lied person near President Diaz says
that those favoring the abolition Of the
duty on paper used in printing are
bringing strong pressure to bear on
the Government, but that the Govern
ment will not accede to q total exemp-
ton from duty. although i: will reduce
the tariff. The American. General
Sturm. has obtained q concession for .
paper mandatory. granting free entry
to the first material used in manufact-
ure. 1t is believed that he will b
obliged to sell paper at . reduced price.

leKes accorded him.

Chronic Iu.Health.

How many pass through life never know
ing what it means to feel well. How many
continue to exist who would gladly lay down
and rest forever. With some it requires
more courage to live than to die. They live
for those they love. They live to be pro-
lection and provide for helpless little ones
All! sad it is when kind parent is afflicted
with aches and pains, nervousness, weak
ness. dyspepsia, etc. And yet, is not pa
rent to blame who will thus suffer, when
means of relief are right at hand. Many
who long suffered in state of chronic i'll
health, whose lives were made miserable by
their feelings OF distress. and who found no
relief from doctors, have quietly begun q
use of DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla, and
found health and strength therein. A word
to the wise is sufficient. Demand this rem

FROM the Herald of Faith, ST. Louis, Mis-
souri,. August 10, 1857.
Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for
Malaria, the business manager of the Her
aid Of Faith would say. that he gave this
medicine personal trial, and was speedily
cured Of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended it to F. j. Tiefen-
braun. 1915 Papin street, and to police officer
Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of
whom were cured by it Of chills and fever
of several years standing. Recently his
wife, after fever of several days duration,
took single dose and was perfectly cured.
In view of these remarkable cures, and re-
membering how much money is spent for
quinine, SO little to be depended upon, and
often SO injurious, we can only wish that
Shallenberger's Antidote would come into
general use.

We gladly welcome Mrs. Gould

The last rail in what is known as
the Rock Island ''cut off," which con-
meets the G. K. & N. r. r. with the
Rock Island route at Omaha, has
been laid, and trains will be put on
in about ten days. This is almost as
valuable as another railroad to our
county. It opens up to us the stock
markets of Lincoln and Omaha, which
are seconed only to Chicago. It puts
more travelling men and buyers into
this territory and gives greater COM
petition. It lessons the distance to
Chicago over seventy miles and light
ems the freight rates to that city. In
addition to this it will give our peo-
pie one more passenger. train each
way every day in addition to what we
