Colorado Miners Deny Sensational
story Circulated Yesterdny.


story Circulated Yesterday.
LEADVILLE, Colo, Nov. 21.-The report
of a probable sympathetic strike of miners
in other camps in aid of the Leadville strik-
ers is declared to be unfounded. Union
officers declare no such move is contemp-
lated at present by the Western Federation
of Miners or any of its branches.
About 100 recruits from Denver have just
been added to the national guard of Colo
RADIO, which is still engaged in guarding
the mines in which non union miners are en-
ployed. According to the present muster
roll, the guard consists of 1856 uniformed
soldiers including officers and about 300
emergency men who are not Uniformed This
army Is kept in the field at an expense to
the state OF about so 900 per day.
Plans are said to have been made and
dates set for the Inauguration of another
reign of terror here the declared purpose
being to ruin the mines; but thus far the
leaders have succeeded in restraining the
mob. 1t is generally feared, however, that
as soon as the downtown mines begin work
the violent element will become unrestrain-
able and serious trouble will occur. These
mines, being surrounded by houses, are
easily OF access and harder to defend than
those outside, which are protected by block
houses and stockades. II is claimed that a
general attack upon the military is the plan
favored by the more radical OF the strikers
The troops are said to be prepared for such

Calamity for OsceoIn.

oSCEoLA, Neb., Nov. 21.-(special.)-The
worst calamity that has ever happened in
Polk county for some time was the burning
OF the Osceola creamery yesterday. 1t was
at noon and there were but two of the EN-
poyes in the building. 1t is said that the
fire caught from the smoke stack, cinders
from 1t dropping on the roof. All that was
saved was the engine house, engine and
some butter and eggs. The plant was worth
$40 900, and there was an insurance on the
building and machinery of $4,000. 1t will
be great loss to merchants and employees,
for there was paid out in the town and
county $3.50 a day, and great many OF the
farmers say they don't know what they
would have done to live were 1t not for
their check for cream that came in the
middle of every month. Besides, 1t throws
out OF employment quite a number OF
people living in Osceola. Word has been
received from Congressman Hainer that
the creamery will be rebuilt, and work will
be begun on 1t Monday.

FORM A NEW COMPACT
Railroads Running Into Omaha, Council
Bluffs and Sioux City Interested.
ARE TO ISSUE A JOINT RATE SHEET
The New Sheets to Become Effective
on the First OF the Months of
February, May, August
and November.

The Council Bluffs, Omaha and Sioux City
Rate association is the official title of the
new organization that was created on Thurs
day of this week at a meeting OF the inter
ested lines in Chicago. Secretary Mum of
the local passenger association, who at
tended the Chicago meeting, returned home
Friday, but the draft of the new consti-
tuition and bylaws did not reach here till

The following are the lines that are mem
bers of the new associations: Burlington,
Rock Island, Milwaukee, Wabash, North
western Sioux City G. Pacific, Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis Omaha Sioux City
Northern, Missouri Pacific, Illinois Central
and Kansas City, st. Joseph & Council
Bluffs There will be quarterly meetings, to
be held in the months of January, April,
July and October. These meetings will be
called to order at $3.50 o'clock a. m, and
continue until 8 p. m. III any railroader
happens to be more than fifteen minutes
late he will be fined 81 for his tardness,

meeting it will cost him 81 per absence
The object of the new association is to
compile and publish a joint rate sheet show
ing rates of fare from Council Bluns,
Omaha and Sioux City to all points agreed
upon. The rate that will be published In
the Joint rate sheet will take precedence
over any conflicting rates. There will be no
changes in rates or routes shown in the rate
sheet, or will any new rates be inserted
without the unanimous consent Of all the
lines represented.
The secretary OF the association will act
as chairman Of all meetings, and will COM
pile the joint rate sheet For these duties
he will be remunerated to the extent of
s25 month. Each line in the association
will have one vote on every proposition sub
mitted and any line may insist on a roll
call of the votes. The joint rate sheet will
be issued so as to become effective on the
first of these months: February, May, Au-

Winter Schedule for the Country
West of the River.

The Burlington yesterday morning an
nounced an important change in its passen-

from changes made by the Northern Pacific
between St. Paul and the coast. The change
does not affect the time of arrival or de-
parture Of any Omaha trains. but 1t length
ems out the schedules of trains Nos and
3. The winter schedules usually allow more
time between the Missouri river and the
Pacific coast and the change announced
merely follows precedent established
several years ago. The change will be
effective Sunday. November 29.

which leaves Omaha daily at 4:35 p m,

had also purchased for a song" some other
property which had been stolen and had
told a couple OF men now in jail serving
sentences for petit larceny that he would

irish chief of the Bureau of Irrigation In
quiry, was read by Secretary Nellie NJ. Rich
ardsOn. ii advised the careful preparation
of the ground in which alfalfa was to be
sowed, cautioning against any depressons
being left to hold water. Twenty pounds of
seed to the acre was recommended, ground
to be lightly narrowed and well rolled imme-
diately after sowing, followed by two inches
OF water where irrigation was used care
being taken to have no pools OF water
standing anywhere over twenty-four hours.
He advised that 1t be cut when blossoms
first show, then irrigate and repeat after
each cutting. AS an instance of the depth
to which alfalfa roots will grow in search
OF water he gave an example that came
under his own observation of finding roots
In tunnel in Nevada 129 feet below the
field In which the alfalfa grew.
Prof. Il. l.. Stevens Of the State Horticul-
tural society delivered an address upon 'lr-

Prof. G. ID. Swecsey OF the Meteorological
university showed that in spite of the belief
TO the contrary there had been no increase
Of rainfall in Nebraska between 1874 ana
1896.
s. W. Bastin read a paper showing the
average rainfall in Lexington over long
period Owing to lack of time large num-
Der of papers were referred to the COM
mittec. Short talks on practical irrigation
by practical irrigationists wound up the
speaking.
The following legislative committee was
chosen: j. S. Hoagland, A. E. Dody, Frank
Bacon. ]. II. Edmston and r. b. Howell.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the work
of the club, urging the selection of Nebraska
for the holding of the next national irriga-
tion convention. requesting congress to ap-
propriate 81 900 for the purpose of stor-
ing water and thereby increasing the possi-
bilty of irrigation and obviating the floods
on the lower Mississippi river, and thank
ing President Wofenbarger for his services
and the city of Lexington for its entertain
ment
The work of the convention today was
pleasantly relieved by music from a Cozad
quartet. One hundred signers were obtained
as original incorporators of the Nebraska
Irrigation company. The object of the or
ganization is to push the interests of irriga-
ton solely. While In point OF attendance
tho convention was not large, the prognm
has been splendid and the practical work
and interest maintained argues well for the
future of Nebraska. The entire proceedings
will be published for extensive free dis
tribution. Many delegates are still in the
city, but will leave on the morning trains.

SETTLES A LEGAL CONTROVERSY.
Levy of the Tax nt Trenton Was
Illegal.

Assistant General Solicitor Kelby OF the
b. & NJ. and Judge e. II. Duffie returned
yesterday morning from Trenton, Neb.,
where they won for the railway COM
pany a case involving upward of $4,000,
The case was the b. & NJ. against Hitchcock
county. and was brought to enjoih the col
lection of taxes of the village OF Trenton.
A perpetual injunction was granted by Judge
Norris.
The import of the railroad company's
contention was that the judgment for which
the taxes were levied were void for want of
Jurisdiction, because no authorized appear
ance had been made and because the
levy to pay such judgment was un-
lawful. The railroaders argued that II was
beyond the power OF the board to levy any
amount In excess of 10 mills. While the
amount involved was not large, the victory
for the plaintiff is regarded as important as
a settlement OF a legal controversy OF some
moment.
