IN THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Union Pacific Hotel Case Not Yet
Ended.

The transcript in the case OF the
Union Pacific hotel was filed in the
U. S. court Of appeals at St. Louis
yesterday. In 1889 the Travellers In
surance company Of Hartford, Conn.,
bought T. c. Henry's lease Of the
hotel and eating house here. This
lease stipulated that the railway com.
pany would stop all Its passenger
trains so that the travelling public
could take meals at the hotel, but In
1890 the company put on dining cars
and ceased stopping trains at the
hotel, and ceased advertising that
passengers could obtain meals there.
The Travellers Insurance company
sued the Union Pacific for breach Of
contract and recovered 100000 dam
ages. This represented the amount
Of money which the Travellers COM
pany invested in the building BY
purchase from Henry and on its own
account. There was no clear proof as
to the loss sustained by the breaking
up Of the eating house business, but
since the failure to stop the trains had
ruined the building for hotel and eat
ing house purposes, the court Judge
Riner) held that plaintiffs could re-
cover the cost Of the improvements
and the railway company should be
entitled to the building when 1t it
paid the judgment. The case has
been appealed.

SALT IN DICKINSON.
Large Beds Are Found in Liberty
Township.

| AVW eAses@f
Herington Times. 1t has been
known for long time that salt in
large quantities is underlying q con-
siderable portion Of Dickinson county
but it was not thought to be as neal
the surface nor in such immense beds
as those found in Liberty township
last week. Some twelve or fifteen
years ago Mr.. Bonnick was drilling a
we'll three miles west Of Hope and in
doing SO struck a vein OF salt ten or
twelve feet thick, but at that time no
salt beds had been developed to any
extent in the state Of Kansas, and all
be did was to fill 1t up and 60 to an
other part Of his farm and drill for
water which was found before going
down to the depth that he had
before. 1t never occurred to him that
he had a "mine Of gold" right there
upon that 80 acre homestead Of his,
for he soon got sick Of the farm and
went back to railroading, taking the
same job in the Hannibal 4 St. Joe
shops he had left at Hannibal. Mo-,
three or four years before.
Salt has been mined near Solomon
City for several years, but inasmuch
as they have to pump up the water and
boil it down or get rid Of the surplus
by evaporation the industry has not
been pursued to any considerable ex-
tent. But the mines that were found
about four miles north OF Woodbine
near the old Charles Staatz place bid
fair to discount anything Of kind that
has ever been found in this section Of
the state. At distance OF 100 feet
down in the ground a vein Of solid
salt was struck, as clear and pure as
any that was ever brought up out Of
the ground. At last accounts the
the drilling had only progressed
something like thirty feet down into
the vein, and it is yet as pure and
solid as when it was first struck, the
quality being first class and the depth
much more shallow than any hereto
fore found in the state At that
depth it can be mined with but little
expense and the industry now bids
fair to be ahead Of any we have yet
found.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR FOR SILVER.
General Assembly Declares for
nrNnn's Pet Doctrine.

General Assembly Declares Tor
Brynn's Pet Doctrine.
ROCHESTER, n. Y, Nov. 20.-The gen.
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor de-
clared today for free silver. The action
taken was in the adoption of an additional
clause to the seventeenth plank Of the dec
larations submitted by the committee on
law. AS originally framed this plank held
that interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit
or notes should never be issued by the gov
ernment, but that when need arises the
emergency should be met by the issue of
legal tender Misunderstanding money.
To this was added the following: And
that gold and silver when so issued shall
be of free and unlimited coinage at the
ratio of 16 to /, regardless of the action of
any other nation"
The general assembly voted down the
proposition to reduce the ratio of represen-
tation of district state and national assem-
blies. A new proposition granting repre-
sentation to isolated local assemblies at
tached directly to the general assembly on
a basis of a delegate for the first 1000
members and one for each additional 1000
or major fraction thereof was adopted,
which gives representation to between 50,-
600 and 10000 members who are Lot now
entitled to representation.
A resolution was adopted that the general
assembly announce the attempt soon to be
made to take from the government of the
people the sovereign right to issue money
and leaving IL entirely under the control of
the national banks, and calls upon the peo-
pie everywhere to watch their representa-
tives in congress and demand from them such
legislation as will continue the issuance OF
government money in preference to money

sion Of the Illinois Federation Of Labor at
East st. Louis a resolution presented by H.

hands of the resolutions committee since
Wednesday, was adopted by vote OF 81 to
10, as follows:
Whereas, The free coinage OF silver was
indorsed by our supreme body, the American
Federation of Labor, at its district conyen-
tions, therefore, be it
Resolved, That this body hereby indorses
the resolution in regard to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16
to l, as passed by the American Federation
of Labor in Chicago in December. 1898, in
Denver in December, 1894, and in New York
in December 1895"
Several delegates who voted in the mega
tive said they did so, not because they were
opposed to the text of the resolution but
because they considered II injudcious to
place the organization on record.
The annual election of officers resulted in
the selection of the following: President
Charles ]. Riefer of Springfield; vice presi-
dent, Jacob TaZelear of Chicago; secretary
and treasurer, Walter S. Bush of Peoria; ex-
ecutive committee, Carl Hanson OF Chicago
A. Fl. Austin of East ST. Louis, John Tay-
