THE HALL WAS PACKED.
Real Business of the Creamery Con-
vention Began Last Night.

The crowd in attendance at the
Creamery ButtermakefS' convention
last night was immense and the local
committee which is financially respon-
sible for the affair was in high spirits.
r. H Brigham was bubbling over with
enthusiasm. Another crowd or two
like this and we will be out of the
woods he exclaimed hurriedly making
change for a purchaser of six tickets.
The machinery hall was a packed
mass of humanity. Throughout the
evening the people crowded in and out
the door watching the crowd and in
Specting the nachinery.It became nee
essary to shut down the various ma
chimes as the noise interfered with the
meetings in progress up stairs.
The auditorium was crowded too.
Around the walls the people stood in
double line and all the seats were oc-
cupied except few at the extreme east
end of the hall.
The entertainment of the evening
consisted of three addresses. The first
was delivered by w. K Boardman of
Nevada, Iowa. He talked of the but
ter business and suggested that it is
of state or national assistance.
Rev. F. s. B1aney of Abilene was not
present but his paper was read by W.

Seems to Be in the Lead for the Next
Creamery Convention.

Sioux Falls, S. D., wants the next
national convention of the buttermak-

state are patrolling the hotels and con-
vention halls, picking up unpIedged del
egates and seeking their support Tor
the convention.
A small yellow badge, inscribed
Sioux Falls, 1899" has appeared and
is growing in great favor among the
delegates. At present the Dakota peo-
pie seem to have a, ''cinch'' and little
opposition is expected. Should Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska and Dakota COM
bine as the circumstances seem to in
dictate they will, mo others need apply
for the convention.
Leon N. Hunter, Judge H. Keith,
Geo. Schlosser of the Dakota Newspa-
per union, John Cogan of the Daily
Argus-Leader, C.P. Sherwood, a cream
cry man, and J. z. Patton comprise

CARNEGIE WANTS ACHANCE
Asks for an Injunction Against the
East River Bridge.

New York, Feb. 22-Application was
made to Justice Chase, in the supreme
court today in behalf of the Carnegie
Steel works, for a temporary injunction
restraining the commissioners of the
proposed East river bridge from open
ing or accepting bids for the steel work
on the towers and the plans on Feb
ruary % as advertised. Decision was
reserved.
The application was made in the
name of David w. McComb, a tax-pay-
er, but it was admitted in open court
by his counsel that the Carnegie Steel
company was the real mover in the
natter This company, in connection
with a number of other big steel manu-
facturers, want the specifications as
sent out calling for the bids changed
so that they may be allowed to COM
pete for the work. The specifications
limit the kind of steel to be used to
acid open hearth steel. The Carnegie
company manufacture no steel of this
description. The plaintiff alleged on in
formation and belief that the defend
ants have wrongfully, falsely and il
legally assumed to limit the competi-
tion. Collision and fraud are also
charged.

ATE CORN HUSK MAT.
in a Cincinnati Jail Goes In
sane-His Fatal Freak.

Cincinnati, Feb pa strange case of
insanity has developed at the county
jail.
Last Thursday night Michael Delaro,
a brick and tile maker, about 40 years
old, who lives at Sixth and Main streets
in Covington, was arrested for drunk
enness and lodged in Jail Last night
he succeeded in locking his cell door
with a wire nail he found in his prison
in such a manner as to prevent anybody
opening it for a considerable length of
time. No soon re had he locked the
door than he seemed to suddenly be-
come insane. In many of the cells are
shuckmats. One of these DelarO mis-
took for an amalgamation of doughnuts
and he began eating it. Before the door
could be pried open he had succeeded
in devouring about half of the mat,
and had drunk enough water to swell
the shucks. When the door was finally
forced open his condition was found
to be serious, and DR.. Guy Ackman was
summoned. After making an examina-
ton of the fellow he found that the
shucks could not be removed by the
stomach pump, and death may follow.
At a late hour last night Delaro was
suffering all the horrors of death itself.

GOVERNMENT LOANS AGAIN
Indiana Populists Getting Back to
First PRINCIPLES.

Indianapolis, Feb. 22.-Three hundred
Populfsts. of both the middle-of-the-road
and fusionist factions, met here today in
state convention. Delegates from every
Indiana district were present The new
state committee already named is claim
ed by the fusionistS- The platform of the
ma jority reaffrmed faith in the princi-
pies in the Omaha and St Louis plat
forms and pledges a renewal of the fight
until every principle set forth is enacted
into law and placed on record upon our
statutes.
1t demands an abolition of all issue of
money to national banks and that the
government shall issue money at 1 per
secured by occupied lands, to the amount
of one-third of the actual cash value of
said lands. All said farm mortgages to be
legal tender for all debts, public and prf-
waite. No farm mortgage notes shall be
issued on land owned by aliens. The in
itiative and referendum are Endorsed.
Legislation is recommended reducing tel
egraph and telephone tolls; reduction of
railroad passenger rate to 2 cents a mile;
reduction of maximum legal rate of in
terest on money in Indiana to per cent.
It opposes taxation without representa-
ton and faVOrS giving the elective fran
chise to women: favors the abolishing of
the liquor traffic: faVOrS liberal pen
sion policy and the payment in pensions

deprecated currency in which they were

1T ACTS BOTH WAYS.
Many Skilled Operatives Have Left
New Bedford Since the Strike

Boston Mass. Feb 22-The sixth week
Of the cotton mill strike in New Bedford,
Saco Me, and other places, has begun.
Except at the King Philip mills in Fall
River, where. most of the strikers ex-
cept the ring Spinners, returned after be-
ing out nearly five weeks. and the Enos
Lapham mills at Centerville r. l. where
the strike is practically over both sides
continue to hold out. The New Bedford
situation still attracts much attention.
Although many rumors of compromise
and a report that many of the strikers
are weakening have been afloat it is gen
orally believed it viii be many weeks vet
before the New Bedford cotton mills are
running in fun force. The fact that hun
dreds of skilled operatives have left New
Bedford is regarded as a serious feature
from the standpoint of the manufacture
ers, should the strike be ended the
mills would be short of skilled help.
