Farmers Greatly in Need.

LINCOLN, Neb., November 10. = The
Nebraska relief commission appointed
by the Governor to arrange aid for
drought sufferers in the western counties
organized to-day. The main point to
which the commission desires to direct
attention is the systematic collection of
relief at as early moment as possible.
The Secretary said he had proceeded on
the plan of districting the State and di
viding the territory regardless OF relig-
ious denominations. In his opinion
every locality should be promptly di-
vided among charitable workers that the
work may proceed with expedition.

CHICAGO. July 2s.-The strike at Pull
man will be brought to a focus next
week. Notices were served on mana
gers Of the car works that unless they
make an effort to open their shops, all
the troops in that vicinity will be with

The determination TO call the First

either resumed work. or announced that

lie came to the conclusion that it was
folly to keep such larged armed force
around Pullman as long az the company
was not making any effort to start it's
shops. He was ready TO concede that a

SAFETY OF SKY soRAPERs.
Method of Construction Employed II
Modern Buildings.

From the New York Times.
Crowds of curious persons surround the
excavations in progress down town for
the tall buildings which are in process of
erection, and opportunities are afforded
of comparing the different methods in
vogue. For the twentystory building at
the corner of Pine street and Broadway,
the preparations for the foundations are
similar to those used for the first time in
the construction of the Manhattan Life
Insurance Company structure. Caissons
are sunk to bed rock and filled with con-
crete and masonry, upon which the struc-
ture is to rest. For the American Tract
SOciety's twenty three story building at
Nassau and Spruce streets, piles are to be
driven through the sand to bed rock, and
masses of concrete are To cover the tops
of the piles. A cantilever construction
will also be resorted to in order to dis
tribute the pressure. For a building
which is to stand at the southwest corner
of Nassau and John street the piers are
to rest on remarkably heavy Hanged
beams, set side by side and touching one
another the whole being imbedded in ce-
ment
A question has been raised, not so much
as to the safety as to the enduring char
acter of the skeleton construction now so
much in use for tall office and business
buildings, hotels and apartments, Iron
and steel are particularly susceptible 20
corrosion, which does not stop at the sur
face, as is the case with some metals. The
oxidization process in iron and steel eats
through This being so, will the build
ings of skeleton construction whose sta
bility depends not upon the surrounding
walls but upon the metallic supports and
ribs, sustain the corrosion of time and the
elementsl An answer to this comes from
the experience OF the buildings of forty
and fifty years ago which are being torn
down every once in while TO make way
for the more modern structures. The
dealers in second hand building material
find that the old iron-work is usually
good enough TO be used again. And this
is true whether the material was imbed-
ded in brick and mortar or not. The
beams which formed part of the struc-
ture Of the old New York Times building
were left TO make part OF the new one,
because they were absolutely uninJured
by more than thirty years Of use, and the
same has been found to be true Of iron
work in much older downtown buildings.

The Public Building Not Going Up as
Fast as the Contractors Want to See 1t.
The work on the public building is not
progressing as rapidly as the contractors
would like to see 1t on account of the
heavy rains, which have prevented work
for some hours almost every day.
The work has now been going on nearly
four weeks. The first story is to be fin
ished by the contractors within four
months after it was begun. Excavations
for the foundations have already been
made, and the box work for shaping the
concrete and other foundation work has
been put in place. The men are waiting
on the cement to begin the first section of
the foundation.

Four Fined.

Policeman Ungar was dismissed from

Green the other night asleep while on
duty at the station house. He was re-

attention to duty was a surprise to his
superior officers.
Oficer Spencer was fined $40 by the
mayor because of disordely conduct while
in uniform some time ago. Yesterdays
fine was for violation of the police regula-
tons. Spencer was previously fined $40
by the recorder on the general charge for
the same offense.
Officers York, Coffee and Mcclure were
fined 81 each for failure to report for duty
on the night of July 4. They failed to get
back from Tybee, where they had been
spending the day, in time to go on duty,
and went to their homes without report
ing at the barracks.
