RepOrted Probable Settlement of
the Strike Puzzles Operators
and Miners,
While All Hope 1t May Be Ac-
complished There Is Moth
ing Definite.
st. Louis Conference Adjourns to
Meet in Chicago Late This
Month.

PlTTsBURG, Sept. 2.-The striking
coal miners and operators in Pittsburg
are all at sea over the reported probable
settlement of the strike. While both
sides unite in the hope that the great
struggle will soon be over, they all pro-
fess ignorance of the negotiations now
said to be in progress with that end in
view. Cameron Miller, ex-vice presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, has received telegram from
President Ratchford denying the state
ment that he had madea proposition to
the operators, and saying that he had
received an offer which he would sub.
NIT to the executive board.
This roposition comes fr ON Thomas
A. Young, who represents the NJ. A.
Hanna interests. The leading lake
shippers who are in Pittsburg emphat.
ically deny that Mr.. Young is on the
executive committee of their organiza.
ton or that he has any authority to rep
resent them. The offer of Ga cents
they say, is higher than they are will.
ing to make, but if it will bring about a
settlement, it would likely be accepted.
Some of them said the proposition re-
ported to have been made by President
Ratchford to start the mines at SO
cents, five cents of which was to be re-
tanned until decision had been given
by the board of arbitration, would be
satisfactory. They were inclined to be-
lieve that settlement of some kind
would be made within few days.
They still contend, however, that if an
agreement is reached at the miners
terms, the benefit will be only temper
ary and the rate will go down again as
soon as lake navigation closes.

American port in one ship.

DROP OLD ISSUES
Nebraska P0pulists, Democrats
and Silver Republicans Will
Work Together.
Two Goodwill Mass Meetings at
Lincoln Dispel All Doubt
About 1t.
Not Known As Yet Which Party
the Judge Will Be Named
From.

LINCOLN, Neb, Sept. at is safe
to say that harmonious fusion of the
three silver parties is now an assured
fact. Whatever doubt there may have
been about cooperation Of forces was
dispelled by two goodwill mass meet
ings. The sentiment on every tongue is
to fuse, regardless of which party fur
nishes the nominee for supreme judge.
Judge William Neville is strongly
urged by the Populits for the nomina-
ton, but his supporters are not arbi.
trary and express themselves willing to
stand by nominee from one of the
other parties if it is necessary for fusion.
The Democrats, who favor w. H.
Thompson, express great confidence in
victory, but frankly admit that their
hopes are not ironclad. What they
want, they say, is fusion above all
things. The Republicans are ready to
support the Popular Candidate.
The interest in the contest for the nom.
ination for judge has reached point of
great enthusiasm, and in the crowded
hotel lobbies names are being men.
toned almost by the score. The Silver
Democratic state central committee met
at the Lindell and agreed to recommend
E. A. Shellenberger of Alma, to their
convention as temporary chairman.
Attorney General q. J. Smyth of
Omaha will be recommended for per-
manent chairman. The Silver Repub.
lican state central committee met in the
Lincoln, and agreed to recommend F.
+. Loomis of Edholm for temporary
chairman, a"d to leave the nomination
of permanent chairman to the choice Of
the convention. The committee also
agreed to recommend that the conven-
tion adopt as the emblem of the Silver
Republican party, the Goddess of Lib
erty seated with a shield in her right
hand, shaft in the left and cap on top
of the staff, as depicted ON the dollars of
1878.
The Populists have agreed to wait un.
til their convention opens, before ap.
pointing a temporary chairman. In
this connection, G. w. Berge of Lin
coin and George User of Omaha, have
been prominently mentioned. For per.
manent chairman, Congressman Greene
and w. A. Poynter of Albion have been
freely spoken of.
Since early morning the corridors of
the hotels have been thronged and the
trains have augmented the crowds un-
til the number of delegates is now esti-
mated at 2,SGO.
Populists, Democrats and Republicans
freely intermingle and there is no dis
position toward partisanship lines, the
oil Of brotherly love having. struck a
steady flow.

the treasury will be helped wonderfully.
Intendant Lowry has stated in public
that there are more than 40 blind tigers
doing business in the town. He did not
say that .he had been informed" that
there were 40; but said they were here.
It is the town councils sworn duty to do
all in it's power to exterminate blind IT,
gers. 1t has all the law that could possi-
bly, be required. 1t is backed by the
Christian people of the town. Now what
is to prevent the council from raising from
from 800 to $500 in the next two months
from this source alone, or getting lots OF
work done on the streets without cost to
the taxpayers?
The third source of revenue to which
I would call the attention of the council,
is to levy a tax of from $40 to $25 year
on the loafers within our borders. They
are a menace and nuisance, and should
be either made to 60 to work or driven
out of the town. They lounge about the
streets and other public places from years
end to years end, have no visible means
of support, and always refuse to perform
labor of any kind when they are offered
job. Their support costs those who
work not less than three times as much as
is expended on the dogs.
These three points are su omitted for
the consideration of the council, and l
defy it to show wherein there is defect in
my plan, or to show that the whole town
will not be benefited by its adoption.

STRAUSS'S
BIG DISCOUNT
SALE.

Wednesdays ENQUIRER, I CON-
menced cutting prices OH every
article in my store. The sale
is to last until next Monday,
when the discount feature will
be discontinued and every article
restored to its marked value. If
you want to save money, be on
the alert and act before my most
liberal offer is withdrawn. AL
ready hundreds of experienced
bargain hunters have supplied
themselves at my store and while
all competitors were vieing with
me, which is conclusive evidence
that Strauss has the right kind
of goods at prices to be depended
on. Strauss protects his CUSTOM
ers and his prices are in figures !!
Strauss's Stock of Overcoats
and Clothing is the best he ever
handled ; it is the biggest and
most complete, and when Gus
toners say that his prices are
low, it would seem that they are
satisfied, and that the prices
must be right, and that is just
what people are saying of my
Clothing, and Strauss has great
stocks Of Mems Underwear of
wool and cotton, and at prices
that no one will dare to shade.
In my line of Mems Hats you
will find crowds of bargains.
The ladies all know that my
stock of Dress Goods is in the
front row.
The ladies all know that my
stock of Gloves are on the front
row to the right.
The ladies all know that my
stock OF Hosiery occupies the
"stage" and the stocks of others
are mere spectators.
Let everybody remember that
I have a full stock of goods of
everykind that they would ex-
pect to find in a great dry goods
store like mine, but my line of
Corsets certainly occupy an i'm
portant position in the public eye
and my prices are on the bottom.
All persons who desire to visit
the Great Wallace Shows on next
Tuesday, November 9th, are cor
daily invited to make my store
their headquarters. Besides be-
ing the very best point to witness
the street parade, on that day l
will donate to my lady friends

up toilet room, the greatest con-
venience ever offered to ladies
visiting Yorkville on big public
day. H. c. STRAUSS.
