The contest between the people on
one hand and the money power on the
other WAS clearly forseen by President
Lincoln when he warned us that the
purpose of the struggle Is to procure a
contraction of the money volume
Our people we're not fully alive to the
situation when he inscribed the follow
ing: "lf = government contracts debts
with certain ammoARt of money in
circulation and contract the S9!ume of
money before the debt is paid. it is the
most heinous crime that q government
can commit against the people,
1t is clear that to contract the vol
ume of money will necessarily effect
the people through debts, The money
oligarchy apprehended by Lincoln was
not unaware of this condition, and ii
was secretely laboring and connivine
to bring about this very thing of which
our ex-president has warned us,

This cast suspicion that the boy might
know something of the missing diamonds
and when he was located and arrested in
Kansas City last Tuesday night Nat Brown
made immediate preparations tn accompany
an officer there and return with the boy.
On the following Wednesday morning man
walked into the Office of the Murray hotel
and handed Mr.. Brown package done up
in newspapers with the remark that he be-
lieved it contained something belonging to
Mrs. Brown. The man started toward the
door, but Brown detained him while he
opened the package. Inside was the lost
wallet containing all the jewels and money
with the exception Of S. On questioning
him Mr.. Brown learned that he was John
Hamilton, employed by the Harvey street
stables and that he had found the wallet
lying in the bottom of Mrs. Browns phaeton
on it's return to the stables November 3.
Mr.. Brown was so rejoiced at the recovery
of the package of valuables that, with an
idea of rewarding the man he told him
to call around on Friday, when he would
return from Kansas City, as he would
like to have talk with him. Hamilton
evidently took different view Of the mat
ter and concluded that II he stayed here he
would be liable to arrest at any time. He
Immediately departed and it is not known
where he Is.

the afternoon CT November Mrs. Nat
Brown went shopping. using her phaeton TO
drive from one store to another, and on her
return to the hotel she missed the wallet
which she usually carried in the handbag
hanging from her belt. She had not noticed

police were notified they had very slender
clue to work on. A belboy at the hotel
named VIII Probaseo left for parts unknown

is claimed took suit of clothes and some
money with him which belonged 10 guest.

TO IMPROVE DEPOT GROUNDS
Burlington Purchases Property Ad-
joining Depot from Kingman
Implement Company.

The Burlington Railroad company has
purchased from the Kingman Implement
company the two lots adjoining the Buring-
ton depot on the south and will convert the
property into handsome grounds. At the
time the new Burlington station was erected
the necessary plat for depot grounds was
somewhat curtailed because of the presence
of the big Kingman warehouse. Since that
time fire has destroyed the warehouse and
a short time ago a deal was consummated
whereby the Burlington came into possess
sion of the property, which has an area Of
132x142 feet.
Workmen are now engaged in tearing
down and disposing of the ruins remaining
from the fire. When this is completed the
ground will be laid out into beautiful park.
Its addition to the small depot grounds now
owned by the Burlington will be a marked
improvement and add greatly to the beauty
OF the station.

Communications were read from the man
ager of Eugene w. Debs stating that the
well-known labor leader could be had in
Omaha for one lecture January H. The
organization endorsed the movement to get
him here and the following were appointed
a committee of arrangements Messrs. Tay
lor Harvey, Sparks, Maus, Watson, Brit
ton and McGovern
Several resolutions were introduced and
passed instructing the delegate from the
union to the meeting of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor The mcst important OF
these was one asking that he introduce a
resolution in that body for the purpose of
discouraging all union men from enlisting
in the regular army while the practice
is in vogue of allowing the federal troops to
be made a tool in the hands OF corporate
wealth for the purpose of disrupting labor
organizations"
Other resolutions asked the delegate to
assist in the settlement OF all differences
between the typographical unions and the
linotype machinists, and protesting aga INST
any change in the present eight-hour cal
endar day law governing letter carriers.
Considerable discussion was provoked bv
the report of the fraternal delegate who had
reported that charges had been preferred
against the Painters union there ami hey
had been referred back to its own body for
settlement. This was objected to and 1t was
stated that of the eleven members in the
organization all were contractors, and hence
were not entitled to a charter and were not
legal members OF any union or entitled to
seats in the central organization. The
matter will be taken up in the South Omaha
Central union for investigation.
w. II. Bell, chairman of the arbitration
committee rendered his resignation and 1t
was accepted. President Youngs announced
that he would fill the vacancy at the next
meeting.
John Medwoll, Il. Dobson and E. Black
were obligated as delegates from Electro

1t was reported that the plasterers' and

Announcement was made from the Wait
ers' union that boycott had been ordered

aid to see that 1t was lived up to in the
