THE FARMERS CONGRESS-.
Several Interesting Papers Read and
 Discussed.

Sioux Falls, Iowa, Oct. 3.-At today's session of the Farmers National Con- gress, pr. J. w. Heston of the South Dakota Agricultural College Tn paper on Farmers Opportunities" discussed the necessity of government aid for the reclamation of the arid lands of the West. He said the general government had received a half billion dollars from the sale of the Western lands since lSI5 and thought it not unreasonable to ask that $15,OOO.OO 900 be expended for ten years in the reclamation of lands capable or supporting a population equal to the present population of the United States. The discussion developed the probability that a resolution would be adopted tomor- row in favor of national aid to the irri- gation of arid lands of the west.
 At the afternoon session Professor Il. w. Campbell of Kansas delivered an ad- dress on Soil Culture in the Semi-Arid West" Hon. John P. Brown of Indiana. discussed, Ancient American Forests. living and Terrified" At tonight's ses- sion, ''The American girl and the home was discussed by Mrs. Bertha Dahl of Minnesota.

LINEMEN WILL STRIKE.
Sympathizers with Telephone Men
 May Cause Trouble.

Chicago. Oct 3.-All the aerial line and
 repair men connected with the various
 telegraph and telephone companies in
 Chicago except about half the Western
 Unions force, have declared, according
 to the strikers of the Chicago Telephona
 Company. that they will go out on sym pathetic strike unless the telephone com pany settles with its striking linemen. The first step in the plan to tie up the city telephone and telegraph was taken today when fifty hnemen of the Ameri- can District Telegraph Company at the stock yards announced that they will not work until the telephone strike is ad- justed.
 Advices from nearly every town of im- portance in Northern Illinois are that the linemen of the Chicago Telephone Com pany are out and that the tie up of their
 department is complete. sympathetic
 strike on the street railroad lines and
 against the electric lighting companies
 is also threatened.

THE JURY DISCHARGED.
No Agreement Reached in the Case
of Robert u. RObinsOn.

In the case of Robert B. Robinson who
was put on trial yesterday in Criminal
Court No. / on an indictment alleging en-
bezzlement, the jury disagreed and was
discharged. Robinson was charged with
appropriating S194 Sc belonging to Curtis
& Co, of Boston, Mass
According to the testimony offered,
Robinson became agent of Curtis & Co.
in this city in October 1899. The com
pany dealt in books and photographs and
had secured the privilege of selling their
stock at the Library of Congress. The
alleged embezzlement was said to have
occurred some time prior to January 8,
1900, when Robinson resigned the position
of agent to accept a situation In the
Census Bureau, where he is now en-
ployed
In his defence Robinson claimed that in
stead of being indebted to Curtis & Co
he was creditor. He also denied the
correctness of the listing of the stock
which was turned over to him when he
accepted the agency for this city. He
was represented by Attorney f.. B. Hay
Assistant District Attorney Thomas c.
