OMAHA, Oct. 19.-The third semi
annual session of the TranSMississippi

o'clock in the Grand opera house. About
100 delegates were present. The con-
gress was called TO order by Gov.
Prince, of New Mexico. On the stage

ing, Secretary Mason and other
prominent gentlemen. Gov. Thayer
made brief but appropriate
address, welcoming the delegates to the
state. He said he saw in the congress
signs of awakening to conceptions of
new enterprise and new plans for de-
veloping the country's resources; and,
In dealing with the great activities of

grand possibilities of the future. Mayor

half of the city.
EX-Gov. Alva Adams. of Colorado, re

spoke of the aims of the congress, the
breadth of the subjects it proposed to
discuss and the importance thereof, not

been made" SAID Gov, Adams. but

Great American Desert
under the wise and determined labors
of the sturdy yeomen who nave grayi-
tated hither from all points of ciyiiZa-
ton, has disappeared and become a
fugitive on the face of the earth 1t is
now only known in the Biographies OF
our youth. We want the East to know
that the Star of Empire no longer hangs
over the states Of New England, over
the numberleSS monied arteries of w all
street, but over the great and glorious
country stretching from the Father of
+, Waters to the treasure bound shores of
tile rolling Pacific.
y Weare here to voice the sentiments
of the various sections Of our common
country; to push. to centralize and
crystalline common work. This event
must attract the attention of the East
and they must realize that the wild and
sayageAridden West is passing away;
that we are an intelligent, industrious
and capable people, developing the
richest country on Gods earth.n Gov.
Adams closed with the statement that
the time is at hand when the West,
by unity OF action could demand

long withheld. Senator Warren, of
Wyoming, followed Gov. Adams with
sloI% talk, advocating the interests of
the mining regions before the conven-
ton. Committees Oh credentials, per-

SAVED JAIL TIME.
A Curious Case Under Prohibition
Law at Fargo.

FARGO. N. d.. Oct. l9.-In August
last John Haas, of this city, was con-
victed in the district court of selling
ing liquor, contrary to prohlbitory regu-
lations, and sentenced to ninety days in
the county Jail. An appeal was taken
to the supreme court and supersedeas
issued, but in some manner the bond
required was never filed and was not
noticed until last week, when warrant
was: issued and Haas brought into
court today. After full argument it
was decided that the sentence of three
months imprisonment has been run
ming since September l, the day judy
ment was delivered. In consequence
Haas could only be made to remain in
Jail now eighteen days to complete the
sentence. Haas tried to accept the
situation and is now behind the bars for
eighteen days instead of ninety.

TENANTS R1LHNTING.
Father Humphreys Pensioners
Demand His Removal.


LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Tories are
much elated over the news from Tip
perary to the effect that the Ponsonby
tenants are seeking to come to terms
with the landlords, and that the Tip
perary tenants have turned against
Father Humphreys and called upon
Archbishop Croke to remove him.
Father Humphreys has been the chief
of the plan of campaign and boycotting
movement in Tipperary, and of late he
has been particularly bitter against
those tenants who have paid their rent
and made peace with the landlords. He
is also pronounced anti-Parnellite.
The tenants who have paid their rent
have got tired of the priests bitter
criticisms on their course, and have pre-
sented to Archbishop Croke the square
issue as to whether q priest so conduct
ing himself should be retained in the
parish. Considerable interest is felt as
to what will be the archbishop's decis-
ion. The cause of the change in the
attitude of the evicted tenants is I'M
doubleday the new irish land law, which
the tenants are anxious to take advant-
age of before any others can take their
places. The Tories are also elated by
the news from Ulster, where the Con-
sentative, or Loyalist, faction is more
than holding its own in the registra-
ton, while the Nationalist show a lack
of the earnestneSs which existed before
the Parnell division.

FARMERS AWAKENING.
Free Delivery in the Country to
BE Asked For

New YORK, Oct. 19.-An organized
effort is under way among farmers to
secure from congress free mail delivery
in country towns. The Farmers Alli-
ance, Patrons of Husbandry and other
orders are canvaSSing the matter. Let
ters are being written to congressman
in favor of the project. and petitions to
congress for free delivery are being cir
culated in many parts of the country.
Farmers assert that daily mail dellV-
cry at their door will add perceptibly
to the money value of their farms and
will be worth still more because it will
keep them in touch with the markets
and the outside world, and rid life of its
isolation and monotony. The farmers
are writing to the agricultural press
that this convenience would enable
them quite generally to take daily pa
per. as we'll as to subscribe for the local
papers more literally.
In the American Agriculturist for
November Postmaster General Wanna
maker states definitely for the first time
that the experiment made by the post
Office department for free delivery in
farming districts shows that the in
crease of revenue more than pays all
the increased expense. He believes
that universal free delivery would,
therefore, be self-sustaining. Mr.. Wan
amaker's article also contains this
statement OF the case:
While the postal service keeps pace
with the growth of the towns, the farm
ers, quarrymen, backsmiths, millers
and artisans. all paying the regulation
rates of postage, are left TO get their
mail as best they can from the post
Office in the village or at the railway
station. In hamlet of 100 houses, per-
haps sixty persons from the village and
the vicinage make daily pilgrimage OF
a distance Of from one block to two
miles from the home to the p0stotfice, to
find out whether there is any mail or
not; ard 100 more persons within the
circle Of the Office do not find it con-
venient to go to the poStof1ice oftener
than once week.
One hundred or more persons each
day, in all weathers, are making trips
to the postOffice, often at great personal
inconvenience and discomfort, when a
single carrier could once OR twice each
day make the rounds of the village and
distribute the mail, and save the hun
dred daily unnecessary tramp, collect
ing at the same time from the letter
boxes, located at the street corners, the
mail to be forwarded. A newspaper
brought every day to the door of the
farmer or workman who has no one to
go TO the poStotfice for it would find a
thankful subscriber and light new
lamb in the household"

a valuation ofaover. 81. 100000 much of

The heirs claimed that this transfer
was Illegal. Since then the property,
which sold at that time for $400, has
become very valuable. The decision is
against the heirs and sustains the title
OF the present occupants. The settle
ment of the first case will doubtless
apply to the others.

who have benefited by the upheaval.
This Will be the case not only
in South Carolina, but through

are rapidly awakening to the absurdity
of the demands that the organization
has promulgated and are gradually
dropping off and foreswearing allegi-
