UNION PACIFIC CUT.

Judge Dundy Not Only cuts the Pay, but
ord r. tn. Men to ontlnue ut work.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan 30. Union Pacific
labor circles were stirred to their utter
most depths when the order of Judge
Dundy reducing wages was made pub
lie. All employees in every department
are affected by the cut. which amounts
to nearly 10 per cent. The action Of
the court IVES not altogethor II surprise
although most of the men had
thought the wage question would
not TO be disturbed But Judge Dundy
went his brothers on the federal bench
one better and, not only cnioined the
men from striking, but cut their pay
and ordered them to woSlS on the re-
duced pay,
The proposed schedule does not
change the rate of pay ON the Ne
braska, Kansas and Colorado divisions
except on light eight wheel engines,
sixteen and sevcntcen.inch cylinders
BY the proposed schedule the wages
paid engineers, rcmcn hostl RS and
wipers will be- reduced sixty one-hun-
dredtbs of II cent per mile, and the
wages, 8 90 cents per mile, will be in
excess OF that paid by any of tho
twenty-seven roads mentioned in the
statement except the Missouri Kansas
a. Texas and Great Northern.
In Nebraska on trainmcn the cut Is
from Is TO sl5 per month, conductors

sufficient TO cover the equivalent Of the
cut on stated salaries On all but three
divisions or districts, the sixth Wyom-
ing district, the Shoshone and Nampa
mixed trains and the Nebraska passen-
ger division, the cut ON trainmen runs
as high as in Nebraska, and on some of
the mountain divisions the reduction
In mileage will amount 10 considerable
more than Is to SIS per month.
Telegraph operators are remem-
bered, and, while no schedule Is fixed,
rs the receivers deem such wholly un-
necessary, II is agreed that SIS shall be
the minimum wages per month paid in
Nebraska and Kansas, with proper
tional larger minimum west
The average reduction is Bal per
cent and the average reduction per
man 90 52.
The concluding portion Of the petit
ton calls the courts attention TO the
matter Of strikes which might result
from the adoption Of the sche Iulo and
calls upon the bench TO protect against
any overt acts that might be brought
about 10y agitators and others who are
not sufficiently acquainted with the
terms Of the new schedule which seeks
TO equalize salaries

BISHOP eoNAoUM ARRESTED.

One of Ills Priests, Tired Of Erclesiastlcnl
Delay, tnvokes the Civll Courts.
LINCOLN, Neb., Ian. 29.-All yester-
day this city was in fever OF excite.
ment, especially among the Catholic
population. This was caused by the
arrest Of the ordinary of the Catholic
See, Right Rev. Thomas Bonacum.
The arrest was made on charge
OF criminal libel, preferred against
the episcopal prelate by one OF his
priests Father Corbett, OF Palmyra, by
whom, with other priests, charges
against the bishop were some time ago
preferred TO Mgr. Satoli Father Cor
bett said that he had got tired Of the
slowness of the ecclesiaStical judicial
procedure and had determined 10 put
4 stop 10 the persecution Of himself
and his ordinary.
The particular charge on which the
arrest was made was based on letter
recently sent 10 the parlshioners OF
Father Corbett at Palmyra by Bishop
Bonacum while the priest was IN St
Louis This letter, It Is said, was
notification TO the pensioners
Of Father Corbett that the &c.
elesiastic was under the ban, sus.
pended, and warning them 10 not hold
spiritual communion with him In any
way whatever, nor 10 take part in any

TWO GREAT CONFERENCES.
Abilene viii Entertain Important
Religious Bodies.

During the next four months Abb.
lene will entertain two great religious
bodies-the Kansas Methodist confer
ence and the International conference
of the River Brethren.
The former meets the first week in
March and will be presided over by
Bishop J. IL. Vincent, Of Chautauqua
fame, and one of the ablest speakers
and executive officers OF the Methodist
church OF the nation. Nearly 200
ministers, many accompanied by their
wives, as well as large number Of
lay men will be present and the meet
ings will be full OF interest for all.
The Kansas conference includes all
that part of Kansas north Of the Union
Pac fic track and east Of the Sixth
principal meridian running along the
west line OF this county. Rev. j. I.
Mayor Is already arranging for the
entertain ment Of the many guests and
Abilene will be given over without
reserve to the visitors.
In May the River Brethren will come
to Dickinson county. Their confer.
ence is for the whole United States aud
Canada and from 800 t. 500 visitors
are expected. 1t remains for the joint
council Of the county to decide in what
part of Dickinson the conference shall
be held. Many want it at the church
in the North part Of the county but
owing to the d fiiculty of entertaining
80 many at the farm houses the decision
will doubtless be for Abilene. Elder
Davidson, pastor Of the church here,
says that the Brethren Of the county
have a warm feeling for Abilene and
the new church here will doubtless be
chosen. The visit Of so many Brethren
to the county will be Of Importance In
I other than a religious sense. 1t will
bring here many who have never seen
the west. When they visit the hand
some homes and we'll titled farms OF
their church people in this county and
see the prosperity that has been attain
ed almost without exception by the
River Brethren of this county many OF
them will want to make this Their
home. And they will be heartily wei
coined for no class of people has done
so much to build up this county in q
substantial and successful way as thu
River Brethren. Abilene will be glad
to entertain all who come to the con
| ference.

Feeding Wheat to Hogs.
To the Editor OF THE REFLECTOR.

To the Editor OF THE REFLECTOR.
In these days OF small prices for
wheat it is the duty of farmers Ia
learn how to make most of their pro
ductiou Of this important crop. Few
Dickinson county farmers have &C
complished all that is possible in this
direction. There may be far better
returns in feeding wheat to hogs than
IN feeding corn or marketing the
wheat In any other manner. A lead.
ing farmer in neighboring comfy hat
has been trying an experime n,
along this line and according to hi-
reports he has accomplished great
results. Last Monday he marketed six
hogs, which were just six months old.
They averaged 225 pounds each. Twc
months ago he commenced feeding
them ground wheat. lie reports tina,
wheat excels corn as pork producer
He soaks the ground wheat from six Ia
twelve hours. The trough is always
cleaned before feeding, A little ashes,
salt and coal are used as appetizers, but
not mixed with the slop. One of the
pigs gained q pounds in 10 days. Mr.
Freeman says that when hogs are sell.
ing at cents wheat will bring so cents
and that be has demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that 80 pounds of wheat
will produce 20 pounds Of pork. Under
such conditions, he says, the farmers
will make money by feeding their sur.
plus wheat to hogs. 1t would pay
Dickinson county farmers who are
holding their wheat for better prices 10
try this plan. There is good evidence
that it will be pr fable. BUCKEYE.

STATE ABOVE POLITICS.
Judge Humphreys Fearless opposi-
tion to Populistic Teaching.


Wichita Eagle: Judge James
Humphrey, Of the Eighth judicial dis
trict, than whom there is no more In
telligent and highminded citizen in the
State, has well defined IDEAS Of political
principles and party integrity, and he
has the courage Of his convictions as
well. Here is what he says about the
political situation, present and pros
pectivs, in Kansas:
III voted the Republican ticket in
common with many Democrats in 1892,
and II fusion should again prevail,
l should vote the Republican State
ticket at the coming election. The
welfare Of the State is above all politi.
cal considerations. There was, per.
haps, some excuse for Democrats
fusing with the Populists in 1892, but
the shameful record since made by the
Ppulists, especially in their revolutions
airy attempts TO drive out the legally
organized Douglass house. puts II out OF
power on any loyal Democrat who
reveres law and order and loves his
State, to affiliate in any way with the
Populists in the future. The brand Of
treason is on the party. To attempt
fusion again would utterly destroy the
Democratic party"
