Mystery Surrounding a Court Martial

TRANSFERS UNION.
Meeting Will Be Held Tonight to
Talk of Higher Prices.

The teamsters who work hauling dirt
for Topeka contractors will meet to-
night at Weber's hall at 7:3O o'clock to
form a union in an endeavor to have
the wages of all teamsters advanced.
There has been dissatisfaction among
the teamsters, and a strike has been
talked of, but with no organization it
would be impossible to carry out the
idea and for that reason a union will
probabl be formed The teamSterS
who have been employed by Henry Ben
net in hauling the dirt from the excava-
tion south of the Keith block for the
A. A. Hurd building have demanded an
increase in wages.
The teamsters are paid 50 for eight
hours work and are required to make
ten loads. They object and say that
they cannot make the ten loads in the
they can. but the men claim that they
are delayed at the dump at the south
end of the bridge, where a fill is being
made, and are unable to make the re-
Quired number of loads.
Mr.. Bennett made talk to some of
the men this morning and was willing to
give them 20 cents per load and let them
collect the 10 cents paid by the city for
every load delivered at the dump, pro-
vided they would hire the IabOrers to
fill the wagons. This they would not
do. Mr. Bennet advised them to hold
a meeting tonight and organize and ap-
point a committee of three to confer
with a committee of an equal number
from the Master Builders associ alton
Mayor Drew is president of the build
ers' association and agreed to appoint
committee to meet the local teantSters'
committee at the postoffice at 9 O'Clock.
Mr.. Bennett advised the teamsters to
form union. but said: 'Such a union
will do no good unless you have the
greater part of the teamsters in town in
it and can furnish all the teams the
builders require.

weather in the southeastern. Good rains
fell in the central southern counties,
the larger part of the eastern division,
vision and the central northern coun-
ties, with heavy rains in the north
western counties and very heavy rains
in the northeastern.
EASTERN DIVISION.
Wheat has generally improved and
is beginning to head as far north as
Pottawatomie and Wyandotte I'm
favorable conditions have deteriOra ted
wheat in Atchison, Bourbon, Douglas
and Shawnee, chinch bugs being large
ly the cause. In Atchison, Douglas and
Shawnee many fields have been plowed
up and put in corn. Corn cultivation is
becoming general. Many corn fields
were washed out in Marshall and
Nemaha and will need to be replanted.
Alfalfa is blooming in Pottawatomie
and alfalfa cutting has begun in Doug
las. Glover is beginning to bloom in
Wyandotte. Oats, flax and grass are
growing well.
Apples are falling badly in Atchison
and Wilson and did not set well in Cof-
fey Cherokee reports fruit falling bad
ly but does not specify. Cherries are
falling in AtchisOn, while Wyandotte
reports no cherries. Strawberries are
beginning to ripen in the more north
ern counties and are being marketed in
the southern. Chinchbugs are working
on wheat and oats in Coffey and Morris
MIDDLE DIVISION
Wheat has improved in many of the
counties; it has not improved in Bar
ber Barton, Pratt and Stafford and
has been injured by the prevailing con-
ditions in Edwards. Pawnee Russell
and Saline. Corn is up and cultivation
is becoming general. Planting is about
finished; some fields were washed out in
the more northern counties. Oats have
been injured in Edwards and Saline
while in Butler some fields have been
plOwed under on account of chinch bugs
Alfalfa has been cut in Barber Much
of the range has Drowned in Pawnee
Apples, pears and small fruits general
ly promise well, but in Pawnee the fruit
prospect has diminished.
WESTERN DIVISION.
While wheat has been badly injured
in Ford, Kearney and Ness in more
northern counties it is much improved
by the rains of the week Rye is be-
ginning to head in Ness and Thomas.
Alfalfa is nearly ready to cut in Raw
Inns. Corn is coming up in the north
ern counties. Young grasshoppers are
Matching out in Rawlins.

to Be Settled
By the Meeting of Democrats

leadership of John z. Altgeld in Illinois
likewise is to be tested. His present
membership in the managing and ad-

ent parts of the state will be there to
help them.
Only by going at the head of a con-

side, will try to block his little game
They will claim that his appointment
as a member of the ways and means
and advisory committees of the national
committee to manage the party's af-
fairs was never authorized by the main
body.
Mr. Altgeld has not said he will at
tend the st. Louis gathering. but it is
expected he will be there to resist the
assaults upon his position before the
country. His friends are relying upon
the committee to refuse the Harrison

grievance is of local Importance only
