MiIIer's Surprise.
August Miller, the street foreman, will
meet with a surprise today when he calls
at the clerks ONCE to procure his warrant
for last months services. He has exactly
$52 coming. This is pay at the rate of 81
for every day he worked. When Frank
Clark was street commissioner he was paid
a salary of SIS a month and allowed $40 a
month for a horse. When Miller filed his
claim he put in a bill for $50, and while
he has no horse, he asserted that he used
up quite a sum in car fare. The finance
committee, however, decided to cut the
claim down to $50, and this is all thai Mil
Ter will be allowed. for his labors during
June.

Fine CROP

Reports coming to Lincoln of the condi-

a decidedly optimistic nature. Some Sec
tions have suffered from the heavy rains.
but the general percentage of damage Is
small.
IAN indications point to the biggest
crops In the history of the state" said
G. +. Robertson OF Omaha this afternoon.
Mr.. Robertson has completed a trip
through the Elkhorn valley, the eastern
and central and southeastern sections OF
the state, and he speaks from actual OBJ
servations
There undoubtedly has been damage on
the so-called bottom lands, but II is a
well-known fact that we haven't much Of
that kind Of land in the state. Practically
all of the small grain is harvested and
farmers say 1t is in good condition. The
corn seems to be growing rapidly and
with a few more rains that crop will be
assured"
The dismissal of Charles e. Hayward
upon his own recognizance this afternoon
is probably the closing event in the prose-

Hayward had been held In custody since
October. He made several unsuccessful at
tempts to gain freedom by the filing of
q bond, and finally. as a last resort, HIS
attorney prepared for the institution of
habeas corpus proceedings. II was par
TALLY to head of this suit and partially
because there is no direct or conclusive
evidence against the man that the county
attorney moved for the dismissal.
The police authorities thought several
weeks ago hat they had evidence that
would convict both Hayward and Baird.
but the star witness failed In the idehti-
hcation. Baird was released after a pre-
liminary trial. Hayward says he may stay
in the city. but 1t lie more than likely that
he will make haste to get beyond the
jurisdiction OF the ~oficers.

NO GENERAL STRIKE


American people setting forth In proper
form the policy Of the miners organiza-
all possible pressure to bear on the oficers
and stockholders of the anthracite coal
conrsIdeTsteeItY he sppeals Of their employees
for arbitration.
The speech was greeted with great ap-
plause from both anthracite and bituminous
miners.
Ryan Makes Motion.
President Ryan Of the Illinois miners
at once offered a motion, which was
promptly seconded, that the recommends
tiols be adopted. The question was Just
being put, when a delegate arose to ask
for information, and then began the de-
bate which continued until adjournment.
Man. speeches were made, those in favor
of the recommendations of President
Mitchell being in the ratio of three to one.
compared to those against.
Upon motion Of John Dempsey, secretary
Of District No. 1, of the anthracite dis
trict, an adjournment was then taken until
10 o'clock Friday to enable the anthracite
men to hold the caucus. A a caucus of the
Illinois delegation tonight It was deter
mined to oppose any general strike. 1t
was also decided to stand by the recon-
mendations Of President Mitchell with the
exception of the one declaring in favor
of an assessment Of 81 per week on mem
bers of the union. This assessment should,
the Illinois men declare. be made on a per-
centage basis and Illinois will make a
fight for this.
Ohio tonight took action similar to that
of Illinois. The Iowa miners held a caucus
in the evening and decided to uphold the
action of President Mitchell.
strike Out of the Question.
The action Of the caucuses tonight a
a general strike practically out OF the ques-
ton, as the anthracite men cannot carry
their point without the aid OF Illinois and
with that, state and lows and Ohio against
them, there is no apparent manner In which
a strike can be ordered.
The meeting OF the anthracite miners
held after the adjournment of the conven-
ton resulted in nothing but the conclusion
that there was no way in which a strike
could be forced and that those members
Of the anthracite districts who were
anxious for a strike would be disappointed.
There was a long conference and a vote
was decided upon, but when 1t was par
TALLY taken 1t was seen that the result
would be so strong in upholding the recon-
mendations OF President Mitchell that the
vote was not considered. While there is
an element among the anthracite men that
is greatly disappointed 1t is not likely that
any fight will be made upon the floor Of
the convention.
President Mitchell said tonight:
1 am greatly pleased with the outcome
of work done by the convention so far,
and have no doubt that the policy out
lined in my speech today will be carried
out substantially. Some minor changes
may be made, but the policy as a whole
will be followed by the convention, l am
certain.
