Alliance, Neb.. Jan. 19.-Four hun
dred cattlemen, representing the live
stock owners of the range of Western
Nebraska, parts of Wyoming and
South Dakota, will hold a convention
in this city, beginning today. the oh
ject OF which is to formulate a pro.
test against the proposed land leasing
law. President Delatour. of the local
association, said last night that the
association protested against the pass
ing of the law by congress. because it
would permit the land spectators and
large ranchmen to force many of the
smaller cattlemen out of business. He
says the association believes that the
government land should be left open
for bonafide homestead entries, and
that such homesteaders should be pro.
tected. we are all in favor of a
leasing till, added Mr.. Delatour, "but
the pending measure is not satisfa >
tory to anybody. We want law that
will protect the legitimate stock grow
ers, great and srsIS! alike"

Three More Victim. ct 1thae..

ITHACA, N. r., Feb, IS. = Three more deaths from typhoid fever ,oc- cured yesterday of students of Cor nell university. They were Otto Wohls of Rochester. N. Y.; Henry A. Schoen- born of Hackensack, N. T., and Charles J. Schlenker of Batavia, N. Y. No deaths occurred among the townspeo- pie, although there are number of very critical cases. Eleven physicians reported eight new cases and eight others sent out of town. The reason for sending new cases out of town is that the local physicians are utterly
 unable to care for additional sufferers. President Schurman of Cornell univer- sity when seen in regard to the typhoid fever situation said, ''The number of new eases among students has mark. edly declined during the last few days"

 ALBANY, Feb. 18.- Opponents of the proposition to spend $s2, ,ooo, ,O00 or more in improvements Of the state canals, according to the 1000 ton barge proj- ect, had a hearing yesterday before the joint legislative committee. Represent atives of the State grange and of local fties which would not be in1mediat teiy affected by the project made speeches. Replies were made by persons interest ed in the improvement.
 Master E. R. Norris of the State grange opposed the project on the ground that it woulA cost vastly more than it was worth. He cited several in stances of industrial plants which have practically abandoned the canal for shipping purposes. He foresaw, he said, the creation within a few years of a ship canal from the Mississippi to the seaboard and declared that the en- larged Erie canal would prove to have been an enormous waste of money.
 Cant you trust the people?" asked Senator Davis.
 ''We can trust the people," replied MT. Norris, "but many of the people who are for this proposition are not taxpayers. If you were willing to leave this to the taxpayers only, we should perhaps feel differently"
 He argued that the improvement of methods of quick transit, refrigeration, etc, had led people to abandon the use of the canal.
 John I. Platt of Poughkeepsie, who at the last hearing made sensation by his references to the position of Gov ernor Odell and the Republican party on the canal question, spoke again in opposition. Master George H. Hyde and Secretary Bean, representing Cort- land county grange; w. A. Rogers of Jefferson county grange and MT. Dew ey of Ontario county also opposed the bill.

That we extend to them our sympathy in their struggle for recognition and Justice" It was also resolved that Each of our members contribute q certain sum weekly to help them finan- cially while the strike lasts. And as we have had some experience with Nstlike breakers in the past it is against our principles to help them by riding on the cars while they are in charge of them.'

 At a meeting of the Carpenters union last night it was voted not to hold mass meeting to protest against Senator Tracy's bill in regard to the incorporation of labor unions. Many carpenters thought that inasmuch as. Senator Tracy was q master builder, it would be most appropriate for the carpenters to be the first union to take any action on the matter and 1t was suggested that mass meeting should be held at which prominent labor lead-s CTS would speak of the senator's bill, Last night the secretary announced that this idea had been abandoned and that it wonuld be better for the Gen. tral Labor body to start any action which may be taken.
 The strikers have now returned to- the company everything In their pos session belonging to 1t, and now they feel that 1t is not too soon for them to look after what the company has be-. longing to them. When they went out they left rubber coats, boots, unlformo and various other articles of more or less value~ in their lockers at the car barns.s They claim that the lockers have been broken open and all or near ly all the articles carried away. Of course they will look to the company Af~ first ask that the things be returned. and while they are of the opinion that no trouble will ensue, they are prepared for anything that may turn up. Every man had something there and many of them had considerable, so that unless they can be found 1t will take n nesst penny to replace them, Hut tho colll-' pany wn''ltin't u,ind a little thinS Nk & that.
