PAY FOR VOLUNTEERS
ALABAMA SOLDIERS IN SPAN
 IsH WAR MAY GET MONEY.
Col. Brandon Writes to Washington Asking If Our Boys are Not En- titled to $1S4 Each Under
 Old Law.

Col. w W. Brandon, Adjutant General of the Alabama National Guard, yester- day addressed a communication to At torney- General Knox at Washington, making inquiry if Alabama soldiers who served in the Spanish-American war are entitled to additional pay under a bounty act passed soon after the close of the war between the States, which act has not been repealed.
 Some time ago a Brooklyn lawyer dls- covered that under this law each soldier who served in the Spanish-Amerlcan war is entitled to $1S4. It has been es- timated that if 1t is found that this law is valid it will cost the Government seV- eral millions of dollars.
 Attorney General Knox has the mat ter under consideration, but it Is said that he has not yet rendered an opinion 9I terest of the 4,5OO soldiers who volunteered from Alabama. If decision is given in favor of the soldiers something over $l0U,O0 will be paid to the Alabamlans by the Government.

STRIKE A FLAT FAILURE
swITcHMEN SEEM SURE TO LOSE
 THEIR FIGHT.
Only One Road, the Lehigh Valley, Was Seriously Affected by the Order from the Union
 Headquarters.

Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-Judging by appar- ent conditions, the switchmen's strike, inaugurated this morning. has proven a fiat failure. The strike was ordered by the Switchmen's Union of North America and the claim was made early in the day by the union officers that every road In the city with the exception of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, would be tied up completely.
 The developments of the day, however, demonstrate that only one road, the I,e- high Valley. was seriously affected The company officials say that within tWen- ty-four hours they will have all the men they need and work will be resumed as usual One hundred and fifty would pc high estimate of the number or men who struck on the other roads, None or these roads suffered much inconvenience, because new men were readily secured to take the place of the strikers. ana some of the men upon discovering that the strike ordes had not been generally obeyed, returned to their places. n;. A A meeting of the union was held this ar ternoon and the claim was made that the strike was a success as far as 1t had gone, and that within forty-eight hours the members of the union, aooIt tbs tgv, switchmen call for the enforcement or the standard scale of wages.
 The strikers have not the sympathy oi the other trainsmens unions. Should the condition of the Allegheny Valley as 1t exists today be continued longer than two days more. the mills and factories along the Allegheny River dependent on 1t for raw material will be compelled to close down. The city mills of the Carne- gie Company can stand the pressure for this length of .,me, but if extended be- yond that the management say opera tions will have to suspend
 The strikers tonight gained eight men in the Ormsby yard of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Road. The strikers appear confident that the Broth- erhood of Trainmen will refuse to handle trains switched by non-unionists.

FIT AS A FIDDLE.
Is Terry McGovern for His Fight with Young Corbett Tomorrow.


 New York, Nov. 26.-After eight days hard training for his battle with Young Corbett' of Denver, Col, Terry McGov- ern took a ten mile run in the vicinity of Jerome Park this afternoon. and despite the fact that it was freezing cold with a strong wind blowing, he covered the distance in ninety minutes. When he reached his training quarters he was examined by a ph ysician who declared lne little champion was in perfect trim for the coming co test. People have in- formed McGoVern that in Young Cor bett' he will meet the toughest and most II gged opponent of his ring career. He replied to several questions as to how he felt.
 Bully, never felt better in my life, | and while l have taken no chances and | have gotten into the best condition, I 1 feel very confident of the result. They | tell me 'Corbett is a two-handed swift. rushing fighter on my own style, and l | hope he is, for then neither he nor l will | have any >xcuse to make when the end comes."
 McGovern tipped the scales at 122 pounds today and he said that with a road run tomorrow he would finish up his training and break up camp prior to his leaving for Hartford tomorrow after noon. He expects to reach the ringside weighing not more than l24 pounds. Among the sporting men here there is very little betting. The prevailing price is to 1 on the champion.

WINGS.

To fly from dull, unsatisfying things,
From stagnant streams that tester in the SUM-
From works that never should have been
begun;
From noisome dens fit but for beasts,--wings!
wings!
To fly from fools, and low-bred underlings
Their sordid ways and vanities to shun:
To breathe pure air when the clear heights
are won
For this my spirit longs, and cries,-wings!
wings!
Strong aspirations for the good and true;
soaring zeal faith can alone impart;
And buoyant hope which it's own rapture
brings.
No tmid fiutter, nor short-sighted view
But, loves broad pinions serving the full
heart.
Thou canst fly far, my SOUL with such-like
wings!

EARLY BOOM TOWNS OF NEBRASKA.
EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:

EDITOR CONSERVATIVES:
This morning my daughter brought
me No 81 of Vol. III of your excellent
paper, The CONSERVATIVE, and pointed
out to me on page 4, an item headed: :
Historical Inquiry" 1t will do no
harm, if I tell you, what I know about
the matter in question. The town site of
Nebraska Centre, which Mr.. Wool
worth's map shows, was merely a
scheme which never amounted to any
thing.
The town site was staled out, it ap-
peared, and 1 have seen stakes there,

which, presumably, were those driven
by the parties who interested themselves
in this enterprise, but that was the first,
as well as the last, of that town. Some
time later on, and nearly at the same
time, when we located our colony at
Grand Island, another party of four
men took possession of nearly the identi
cal spot. can only give the names of
two Of them, William Roberts and Will
liam (or Billy as he was called) Painter.
These men changed the name Of Ne
braska Centre to that of Mendotte.
One of the Mendotte party BILLY
Painter) perished in a snowstorm when
out on a duck hunt on Prairie Greek in
the night from November 9Th to 18th in
1857, as related by me in my history of
Hall county on page z. The town of
Mendotte never amounted to anything,
except on paper, and soon was aban-
doned. Next Enos Beal took up the
land and built nice two-story frame
building, but the speculation in town
lots did not materialize.
The location of the above mentioned
town is not at the mouth of Wood river
where it empties into the north channel
of the Platte river, but is from three
quarters to one mile up stream. Pre-
sumably in 1S49 to 1851 massacre of
white people on their way to California
twenty wagons) by Pawnee Indians
took place about one mile west of the
above-named old town site, on the
right bank of Wood River. The
spot where this must have taken place
was noticeable by quite lot of wagon
wheel hoops and other iron parts of
wagons, which evidently had been des-
troyed there by fire. Something more
reliable in evidence L was not able to
obtain from an old Californian who told
me about the massacre. Our blacksmith
got great lot of iron as mentioned,
lying scattered about.
Thanks to your influence and work,
the old six-pounder cannon is now
properly mounted in front of our court
house in Grand Island, the undisputed
property Of Hall county for all time to
come WIN. SToLLEY.
