Strike at Chicago Stockyards Now Takes
In Skilled Worlmen.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-The unskilled Ia
borers at the stocllyards have won their
strike and nearly 1000 men who have
been idle for three or four days re-
turned towork at an increase of % cents
day. This brings the wages of un-
skilled labor to the standard of 1898
The dissatisfaction among the labor
ers has been practically settled, but n
more serious problem confronts the
packers. The skilled workmen demand
an increase, which the packing COM
panies say they will not grant. The
cutters i'll Armour s. Co.'S killing de-
partment struck for an increase of so
cents per day. They receive $3.50 day
and demand $5. The strike of the
cutters may cause trouble, as the firm
has decided to dispense entirely with
these workmen, who are among the best
paid men in the district. Armour 6
Co. have decided to employ different
method i'll cleaning hogs. When the
strikers find that their places are being
filled by unskilled workmen, it is eX-
pected they will cause trouble.

Stone Votes to Win.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2S.-William
Goebel, who with an iron grasp has
ruled the Democratic state convention
since it assembled nearly q week ago,
was last night nominated for governor
Oh the Goth ballot, which resulted as
follows: Goebel, $50; Hardin, 53l. The
end of the long, exhausting fight
brought a reasonable degree of har-
mony to the factions which throughout
the fight relentlessly battled every inch
of the ground. Nearly everybody
joined heartily in demonstration when
the candidate appeared to receive the
nomination and return his thanks.
Goebel held the opposition close down
TO business all day yesterday, balloting
them when they showed signs Of weak
ness and compelling vote on propo-
sition to drop the hindmost man on
each ballot after the 25th, and came out
of the final test of strength shortly
after 10 o'clock last night with colors
flying. Stone was dropped on the 25th
ballot and Hardin proved unable to
control enough Of the Stone votes to
win. The scenes during the last ballot
were dramatic, though not so exciting
as many in which the delegates had
participated. After the nomination the
convention enjoyed few minutes Of
relaxation and Cancellation. Speeches
were made by Congressman Wheeler,
Judge Tarvin and other managers fol
the three candidates and the theme OF
all was 'get together and win"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 2S.-Three
negroes are dead and one is not eX-
pected to live as result Of q riot be-
tween the white and negro miners at
the Oregon mines hear Cardiff, in JET
ferson county. The dead are:
ED ELLIS.
JIM Dill. v.lr,
ADAM SAAULs.
Wounded
Rudolph Williams.
George Thomas, mortally.
The two races came to a clash late in
the afternoon in Glasgow Hollow, where
the negroes had congregated, armed
with Winchester rifles. A white man
passing along the road was held up and
besides being abused was roughly
handled. The news soon spread and an
armed body of white miners moved
toward the Hollow. 1t is supposed that
they went around by circuitous route
in the mountains and came upon the
negroes unexpectedly.
Ed Ellis, ringleader, armed with a
Winchester and Colts revolver, fell at
the first fire. A rifle bullet did the
work. There was another volley and
four of the ether negroes fell. jim Dill
and Adam Saauls died in few minutes
after being removed to a negro's house.
George Thomas was shot through the
abdomen with Winchester bullet. He
is not expected to recover. Rudolph
Williams will live.
The trouble started Monday morning,
when it was thought that John Shep-
perd, who on last Wednesday afternoon
assaulted Mrs. Monroe Jones, near
Corona, was in that community. The
negroes armed themselves to prevent
his capture. Both sides were aroused
and only the timely arrival of the sher.
ifs posse prevented an outbreak.
The negroes held mass meeting and
refused to so to work. They all belong
to secret organization known as the
"Knights of Africa" or the "Myster
ious Ten They keep rifles and am
munition on hand at all times.

QUAKER CREW WINS.
Captures the Big Event at
Poughkeepsie.
RACE IS CLOSE AND EXCITING.

Wisconsin Men Lead Until the Last Half,
but Lose the Race by Bad Steering-Cor-
nell Finishes Third, Four Lengths Away,
With Columbia IA Bad Last.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, June 2S.-
Twenty thousand people yesterday saw
one of the most exciting four mile boat
races ever witnessed i'll college racing.
-Four thousand people on the obscrva-
ton train yelled themselves hoarse in
frantic appeals to their various colleges
to do their best, and saw the red and
blue carried over the line winner by
short half length from the Wisconsins,
who lost in the last 200 yards by bad
steering. Cornell, the victor of former
years, pulled after, full four lengths in
the rear, and Columbia, never in the
fight after the end of the first mile
tr,iled good length from the stern of
the Cornell boat. 1t was the kind Of n
race that makes the blood tingle, and
was made so by the crew that came over
thousand miles to meet former VIC
tors, for without the gallant Wisconsins
in the race, it would have been dole
full procession after the second mile was
entered. To say there was surprise on
the observation train and amid the
great crowds upon the banks when the
Wisconsin shell swept mile after mile of
the course until the last half was
reached, with clear lead over all the
crews, is putting it mildly. When the
people on the bank, unable to place the
stranger crew, looked toward the OBJ
servation train inquiringly and were
told that it was Wisconsin, they We're
almost dumb with amazement, and
when those OH the train saw the gallant
struggle mile after mile they dropped
their appeals for their own crews and
yelled in friendly manner for the boys
from the west.

keeled boat, the too long reach, all

Prisoners In the Anamosa Penitentiary
Refuse to Work.
DEs MONIES, June 28.-Five hun
dred convicts in the Anamosa peniten-
tiary have gone on strike and refuse
to work. They claim the rations are
insufficient in quantity and inferior in
quality.
The trouble originated in the quar-
ries, where about 100 men are employed.
They refused to work when sent to the
pits in the morning and the efforts of
the guards were unavailing. When the
men We're brought back to their cells
at night, the news of the strike spread
rapidly through the prison and this
morning none of the convicts would
work when sent to their accustomed
places.
The board of control was notified of
the conditions at the prison by War
den Hunter and will go to Anamosa to
investigate. The cooking is done by

GRADUATE IN OVERALLS.

Peculiar Condition of Affairs Which
Causes School Board to Resign.
LYONS, June 2S.--The school board
of this city resigned in q body yesterday
because the high school graduating
class persisted in appearing on the stage
OH commencement begarbed in overalls.
The students claim to have suffered cer-
tain humiliations at the hands of the
board and by way of retaliating adopted
the word "Work" for the class motto,
and decided to appear in laborers' garb
to claim their diplomas. The board,
learning Of the intention, attempted to
suppress it, and failing in that, informed
the class that the expenses of the opera
house would not be met by the school
fund. The class answered this by
charging an admittance fee, and the
townspeople, entering into the spirit Of
the jest, crowded the house to the
doors. The board looked upon this re-
suit as an Endorsement Of the students
course and resented it by abandoning
the management of the city's educa-
tional atfairS,

CROP CONDITIONS.
Rainfall and Temperature In Excess OF the
Normal-GpleMdidM Week for Crops.

Rainfall and Temperature In Excess OF the
Normal-Gplendid Week for Crops.
LINCOLN, June 2S.-The past week
has been warm and wet. The rainfall
has been above the normal in all except
few of the southeastern counties,
where about half the normal amount
fell In Sherman, Buffalo, Kearney
and Harlan counties the rainfall was
very heavy, varying from three to near
ly six inches.
The past week has been the most IA
vorable one of the season for crop
growth. The high temperature the first
days was unfavorable in few south
western counties, but was followed by
general and heavy rain, which revived
the small grain considerably. Warm
weather, with frequent showers, has
caused all rops to grow rapidly. Oats
have continued to improve, and now
promise a good crop in many eastern
counties. Winter wheat and rye have
filled well, but the crop will be light.
Corn has grown exceedingly well.
There is some complaint of weedy fields,
but on the whole the fields are about as
clean as usual, and corn is now in un-
usually good condition.

Held to BE Unconstitutional on Account

SCRANTON, Pa, June 2S.--Judge Gun
ster has handed down an opinion in
which he declares the act passed by the
legislature in 1897, which gives protec-
ton to employees who form, join or
belong to labor organizations to be un-
constitutional. The opinion is in
the case of Lewis Mack, who
prosecuted George w. Clark, a
foreman for large steamftting
and plumbing house, for discharg-
ing union worllmon. Judge Gunster
says: The act in question affords no
protection whatever to the employe Of
the individual, firm Or limited partner

ploye Of Il corporation, uuder its provis,
ions, may freely form, join or belong to
any lawful organization, his neighbor

trade, when employed by an individual
or firm, may be freely banished fol

compelled the racers to lie out to
