AT q Meeting Called to Arrange ZOE
the Annual Banquet the Precious
Document Is Called for but Cam
not BE Found = Consideration
Reigns for Avhile-t Was the
Original and Only Draft.
If the miscreant who stole the constitu-
ton Of the Lincoln Republican club will
return 1t to either John W. Finehout,
president, or Charles r. Parker, secre-
tary, suitable reward will be paid and
no questions asked.
Somebody has stolen the constitution of
the Lincoln club, and until 1t Is found
and returned the organization will con-
tinue a sort of go-as-you-please AFFAIR
without any restraint upon Its playful
and quarrelsome membership. Mean
while there are recriminations and charg-
es of foul play among the members,
enough to furnish dime novelist with
a whole stock of excitement.
The dreadful fact developed at meet
ing of the executive COMMITTEES held on
Wednesday evening at the club rooms
In the Endicott block. It was called pri-
marily for the purpose Of arranging for
the annual banquet given by the club on
the Eth of February in commemoration
of the death Of Lincoln. After discus
sing ways and means to eliminate the
element Of rowdyism this year that was
prominent last year, which 1t was de-
cided could best be accomplished by fix
ing tho price OF tickets at 81 and making
it a silk stocking affair. Henry Johns
IL rNrf- a<lfh
'I have here fifteen names Of stalwart
Republicans who want to join" he sald
"They are all from the capitol and will
ing to put up. Let's admit EN- tonight,
right away
President Finehout suggested that the
applications would have to be made and
then acted upon two weeks later by the
club. The executive committee could not
admit any members anyway. That was
according to the new constitution adopt
ed last August.
Lets see that constitutional demanded
Mr.. Johns.
Then the startling discovery was made
that the constitution of the club had
disappeared from the secretary's desk in
the club room. 1t was the original draft
and there were no copies.
Secretary Parker looked under the desk.
in all the drawers and in the waste bas-
ket, but no constitution could be found.
''It's been stolen!" he gasped blankly.
CONSERVATION reigned among the men,
bers of the committee present, and after
consultation 1t was deemed best to keep
the disappearance of the constitution
profound secret. Nevertheless yesterday
every member Of the club and a number
OF outsiders had been informed Of the
mystery. A number of solutions to the
problem were offered. Mayor Kiefer has
always been opposed to the club and re-
ioiced whenever any Internal upheaval
threatened to bring about total disrup-
ton Of the organization. 1t was sug-
gested that the constitution was removed
by emissaries Of his honor. On the other
hand a certain coterie feels certain that
the disappearance of the document has
some mysterious correction with the
fight made by Jake Reichert. the former
secretary. to keep John F. Selb out of
the fold.
AT any rate the constitution mas gone,
no one knows whittier. and the Lincoln
Republican club is like a ship without a
rudder. .--'--f5i.7- - %Er

RATE CONFERENCE.
Ei,st and West Lines Officials Meet
and Compare Notes.

and Compare Notes.
BOSTON, Jan. 4--Twenty or more
railway lines, East and West, were rep
resented al a conference held in this
city today, at the Office of the New Eng
land Passenger association. N. e.
Weeks, president of the latter asso-
citation, presided at the @nference. In
cluded in the gathering were representa-
tives from the Fitchburg, New York,
New Haven & Hartford; Rutland, Bos-
ton & Albany, Boston & Maine, Cana
dian Pacific, Central Vermont, Atchison,
Chicsgo - r. o~th- Western Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul, Great Northern, Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific, Central Pacific and
trunk lines.
The long-standing troubles over rail-
road rates was the question which the
conference had been called to discuss.
For months the so called standard and
differential lines have been cutting rates
to the West and points on the Pacific
slope. The New England Passenger
association has been the one to cut
rates. and the lowest figures have been
reached on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford, the Boston & Maine and the
Fitchburg. The cut rates are via
Montreal, and are $3.50 from Boston to
Colorado common points and $3.50 from
Boston to Pacific coast points.
The contest all day centered on the re-
fusal of the differential lines out Of
Boston to abandon the authorized sched-
ule. They hold that If the standard
lines had allowed the other lines the dif-
ferential to which they were entitled
rates would hav been kepa UP.
The question of tourist car service was
also taken up during the forenoon ses-
sion.
The whole afternoon was spent In for
NAL talk in which many of the delegates
expressed their views and suggested
remedies for the existing differences. An
Eastern and Western committee was ap-
pointed to investigate and report upon
tho subject after 1t had been given
a full discussion. New York was chosen
fo, the next meeting.

LAND SALES.
Figures ns TO Agricultural Proper
ties Sold In 1900.

The Northern Pacific land department
has prepared a report Of sales of agricul-
tural lands closed during the year 1899.
The total acreage disposed Of Is consider
ably larger than the sales of any previous
year. and reaches total of 62S, acres.
An interesting fact in connection with
1883 sales is mentioned in the report, IN
that the number Of individual purchasers
was smaller than in 1898. Those who pur-
chased lands numbered 2,112, while. in 1898,
2,519 people made purchases aggregating
616679 acres.
The heaviest movement was recorded
between July and Dec. 81, when 6S6 pur-
chasers bought 271, ,O76 acres. indicating an
unusually heavy movement. The records
of the department show, in comparison
with the figures for 1899, that In 1890 the
total sales amounted but to 225,216 acres.
In 1895 the acreage disposed Of had
doubled, while for the past year 1t has
very nearly doubled again.
Officials of the land department state
that the bulk Of the property disposed Of
was to actual settlers, and in large par
cells. The number Of those who took up
email homesteads was comparatively
small. showing better conditions and more
general prosperity than in previous years.
