Rryau as Editor,

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. l6.-William j. Bry.

81 have for several years had in con-
temptation the establishment of weekly
newspaper, and this seems an opportune
time for undertaking it. Intending to de-
vote my life to the study and discussion
of public questions, l have taken this
method because it will best accomplish the
purpose which l have in view. Through
a paper will be able to keep in touch with
social economy and political problems. The
paper will at the same time, if successful,
provide an income sufficient for pecuniary
needs, and this kind of work will allow me
more time for my family than have been
able to enjoy for several years past.
81 expect to lecture occasionally, espe-
cially in college towns, where can speak
to students, but my principal work viii
be done with the pen, or perhaps l should
say with the pencil.
"The paper will be called the Commoner
and will defend the principles set forth
in the Kansas City platform. l shall be
publisher and editor and Lincoln will be
the place of publication"

lands, who waylaid, murdered and rob-
bed Hollie Simons, white barber,
early Sunday morning, were lynched
at night in the Jail yard by a mob OF
1900. The negroes we're arrested soon
after the murder occurred, and al
though Rowlands' clothing had blood
stains on them, they claimed they were
innocent. In the meantime Sherin
Clemens of Union county, Kentucky
arrived with a trained BLOODHOUND.
When the dog was placed on the trail
he followed it to the house where Row
lands lives, six blocks from the scene
of the murder, and went baying to the
bed the negro had occupied. This was
enough for the excited citizens.

Santa Fe Strike.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. l6.-Opinions con.
cerning the telegraphers' strike have ma.
terially changed. Instead of the indiffer.
ence which has been manifested by some
Of the railroad officials during the past
few days a disposition to be constantly
on the alert has shown itself.
The officials Of the Santa Fe have at
last become convinced that the strike
means something. The cause of this is the
unrest prevalent among the engineers,
conductors and brakemen. 1t is regarded
as almost certainty that some of these
workers will 60 on sympathetic strike
within two days unless the differences be-
tween the company and the operators are
speedily adjusted. The reason Of the train
men taking this step is not thought to
comprehend so much sympathy for the
operators as it does their own interests.
Said prominen: engineer today. "Ii
we suffer this thing to go by unquestioned
the right of the company to do as it
pleases will be permanently established
and in spite of anything we can do the
rights and privileges of organized labor
will be lost. 1t is the principal we are
striving for, and come what may, the
principle must and will be maintained that
organized labor must have rights"
As far as can be learned there have not
yet been any conferences held between
the telegraphers and representatives OF
trainmen's organization. There is an
apparent stableness in all the transactions
which makes it amount to practical Ger.
tainty that there will be something done
shortly.

WADE GRO WIDER SHOWN Up.
The st Louis Post Dispatch Gets On Bis

Wade Crowder, the negro who has
been imposing on northern communi-
ties for a year past, has about reached
the end of his career a, a maligner OF
Mississippi. The ears into which he
has poured his tale Of escape from
slavery will 1901 be as deaf as stones 10
mis- well-buil, fairy tales, and the money
that has dropped from pocket books
loosened by his tears OF sorrow, will
soon fail ito yield a livelihood. The
reason why is that big metropolitan
newspapers have taken up the work Of
finding out who Wade Crowder is and
where he came from. Last week a
representative Of the St. Louis-Post
Dispatch visited Grenada and Cascllla
for the express purpose Of running this

issue of that paper a page was devoted

doubtless do much toward enlightening

Mr.. Bledsoe says that the soil on his
place Is the most suitable for making
the finest quality OF brick and tile that
he has ever seen, and that he expect:
to put on sale a product thai
will bring the highest price in an
market. This will be an important ad
dition to the industries OF Grenada ant
will be the forerunner OF other man
