FIREMEN CHANGE NAME
DECIDE TO ALL THEMSELVES GEN.
GINEMEN. HEREAFTER.
Reserve Fund of the Locomotive
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Labor News.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Sept. 17.-About
fwo-thirds OF the constitution of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen has
been finally acted upon by the convention
In session here. The first important change
recommended was the substitution OF the
word 'engineman" for the word fireman
as IL appears in the preamble. This in
cludes both fireman and engineer and adj
mits the two on the same footing. A reso-
luton was introduced to change the name
of the organization In a similar manner,
but 1t was rejected. The office Of fourth
vice grand master was created and will be
filled at the elections Friday or Saturday.
1t was decided TO increase the reserve
fund for the brotherhood from 500. 600 to
$250.0Oo. This increase is made necessary by
the great growth of the order and was
recommended by acting Grand Master
Mammalian in his biennial report. The
necessary amount will be raised by quar-
terly assessments. 1t was also decided 10
pay every member OF the brotherhood who
Is over seventy years Of age the full
amount OF their insurance claim. This will
mean the giving to benefciaries several
thousand dollars at once and from now on
a large amount yearly.
Col. w. c. p. Breckenridge, who was on
the programme to speak this afternoon,
wired that he could not be present, but
that he would explain by letter.

Treasury Department I'm Reply
to Secretary Shaw.

WASHINGTON, Sept H. When asked
as to whether he had considered the ques-
ton of accepting other than government
bonds as security for public deposits, Sec
rotary Shaw to-day said that he had re-
ceived a number Of applications for author
ity to deposit other than government bonds
for this purpose, and his uniform answer
had been that such propositions could not
be considered at all.
The Treasury Department has received
the following from a bank in western I'LL
nois, which had free bonds on hand at the
time of the secretary's request to banks
to deposit such bonds with the treasurer
and accept government deposits thereon:

The Timing Nuisance.

LONDON. Sept. 1s.-Sandwiched with
grave editorials dealing with the recanta-
ton of NJ. Pelletan, French minister of
marine, and the annual report of the
British Foreign Society, the Standard this
morning publishes a strenuous appeal to
it's readers to stop tipping club walters.
From the tone of this article Ii might be
judged that England's last bulwark Of In
tegrity has been invaded by the upstart
with the ''nimble sixpence." In its most
serious vein the Standard denounces the
custom. "The practice of tipping will
never be oanished from raiiroad and tray,
says the paper, but In an institution I'M
der continuous management and frequented
by the same society year after year, it Is
an intolerable affliction."

MURDERER SHOT.
Declined to Surrender and Was Used

WINSIDE, Neb., Sept. 17.-Dave Leary,
a liveryman, started out alone to-day to
find Niegenfind, the murderer. who, it was
said. had been seen near here. Leary came
upon two men driving some cattle and
thought one of them was Niegenfnd.
Leary went to a nearby farmhouse and
procured a shotgun and the assistance Of
Perry Borum, who had a target rifle. The
two men went across a field to intercept
the herd and soon came upon Niegenfnd.
They called upon him to throw up his
hands. The murderer drew a revolver and
fired five times at Leary without effect.
at the same time using his companion as
a shield. Then Leary and Boruul poured
a fusillade of shots into him until he fell.
He was brought to Winside and doctors
are attending him. They believe he will
live, although he is unconscious.
Niegenfind, a week ago, with little provo
cation, murdered his divorced wife and her
father and wounded his former wife's
mother and sister. He escaped and sent
back word he would finish the rest of the
family before he was done. Night and day
posses with bloodhounds had been search
ing for him. Rewards a~ggregating 81. 600
had been offered for his capture.

affair. The show will como directly
from Richmond TO Lynchburg, and it
is thought new features will be added.
Mr.. R. d. Apperson, well and favor
ably known here for his push and
energy. is taking an active hand in
this. The large arena which is fast
approaching completion, and which
will seat many thousands, is just oppo-
site the residence Of Mr.. Apperson on
Rivermont Avenue, in the most beau
tiful part of Lynchburg, and directly
on the Car line. At the close of the
show there will be an auction sale of
horses. This will be on Saturday and
a splendid opportunity will be given
to purchase the very horse one wants.
Our people do not seem to be educat-
ed on the horse show. They will learn
something if they attend this one.

1t is said that his action caused con-
It caused none in some
quarters. It is the direct result of a
policy which if continued will not only
drive Speaker Henderson out OF
Office, but the Republican party
out of power. 1t is so plain that
the people, the masses who
suffer by the odious tariffs we labor
under, are determined not to suffer
much longer, that we wonder more 90

it is our plain duty to place Porto Rico
on the free list, the protected people
arose in mass and shouted NO. The
result was be was compelled to eat his
words.
When President Roosevelt asked for
concessions in tariffs to Cuba, a howl
went up and Congress, under the trust
lash, turned down his petition.
When Representative Babcock show.
ed that under protection here our
farmers were compelled to pay more
for many articles than persons in
Europe paid for the same goods, he
was booted at and possibly his seat in
Congress will be taken away from him
on this account.
In Speaker HendersOn's district
the people are rising up against the
outrageous war taxes we are paying
to protect manufacturers, and are
with reason, asking a reduction Of
duty on such.

won't work. When people find them
selves paying more at home for arti

for less money, they must see som'
greater return and more direct thar

changed our Industries will be ruined
and prosperity will cease" That ii
talk, the other is fact. There must b.
some direct return for such iniquity tt
our people, especially our great multi
tude of western farmers, who are tn.
direct victims of this outrage.
