Resumes Work at Full Time.

Beatrice, Neb., Dec. 3.-The Demp-
ster mill manufacturing plant re-
sumed full time of ten hours a day
yesterday morning, after a period of
two weeks, during which the running
time was reduced to eight hours.
The temporary reduction was due to
anticipated relaxation of business, a
condition incident to the season and
generally expected at the end of the
year. The reduction in the volume
of business did not, however, prove
to be as great as was expected and
it was found necessary to resume full
time yesterday. Two hundred and
seventy-five men are employed at the
plant and by the company in this
city now, while during the rush sea-
son this number is materially in
creased. Branch houses are main
tanned at Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux
Falls, S. d., and another manufactur-
ing plant owned by the company is
located at Memphis, Tenn.

Shoot Ducks With a Broomstick.

Charley Chace tells a good story
about hunting ducks that is well worth
printing. Two weeks ago Monday
when the cold wave came there were
lots of ducks on the lakes on the New
berry ranch that Mr., Chace owns and
the sudden cooling of the atmosphere
caused the Ice to form on their feath-
ers so that the ducks could not fly.

MILITARY POWER.
Judge Seeds, Of Colorado, De-
clares 1t Is Not Supreme.
CIviI Law Must Rei@n-After Decision
WAS Given Gov. Peabody Ordered
Gen. Chase TO Surrender All
of His Prisoners 10 the
GiVII Authorities.

Cripple Creek, Col, Sept. 25.-Judge
William Seeds. of the district court.
on Thursday decided against the mil
itary authorities in the habeas corpus
case of Sherman Parker and three
others. who have been held prisoners
by the military for about two weeks
without warrants and with no formal
charges against them.
Judge Seeds ordered the prisoners
turned over to the civil authorities.
Judge Seeds said that he could not
subscribe to the doctrine that the
military was supreme ana not amen
able TO the court, because to do so
would mean to overthrow free gov
ernment and substitute a monarchy
The court said that the question in
volved was: Does the executive order
calling troops constitute a justifica
ton of the arrest? He held that civil
law had not been overtnrown in Tel
Ter county and no evidence had been
presented that law breakers would
not be prosecuted and punished by
the civil authorities. Judge Seeds al
so strongly rebuled the prese ace of
'ii1 - ''l'S III tht Noli lpoIl'H"
Gen. John Chase, in command of
the troops, declined to recognize the
authority of the court until ordered
by the governor to do so. Gov. Pea
body has instructed Adiutant General
Bell, who is in Cripple Creek, to issue
an order to Gen. Chase TO turn over
all prisoners to the civil authorities
hereafter.
\ strike of the union miners was
ordered at Cripple Creek about the
middle of August by the Western
Federation of Miners, in support of
mill men at Colorado City and other
points who had for a long time been
contending for an eight-hour day.
The mine owners, alleging that a
large percentage of the men desired
to work if protection was assured,
called upon Gov. Peabody for troops,
although the civil authorities denied
the necessity for such a course. The
governor, however, decided that
troops were needed and on Septem-
ber ordered almost the entire ma
tional guard of the state, about 1000
men, TO the district, under command
of Brig. Gen. Chase.
Since that time several prominent
members of the Miners union. includ-
ing all the members of the executive
committee which had the strike in
charge, have been arrested without
warrant and held in the guard house.
Habeas corpus proceedings were be-
gun in their behalf last week. Gen.
Chase and his legal advisers held that
though martial law had not been for
mally declared, it was really put in
force by the order issued by the gov
ernor directing the troops to main
tain order, and that therefore the
civil court had no jurisdiction.

THE MILLER TROUBLE.
II Has Been Left I'm the Hands of "a
subcommittee.

Washington. Sept. 26.-The eXecu-
tive council of the Federation of La
Dor adjourned yesterday afternoon
subject to call without taking any
further action on the case of William
Miller, the assistant foreman in the
government printing office. The mat
ter has been left in the hands of a
subcommittee of the executive coun-
ell, whose names are not disclosed,
with directions to make full re-
port.
President Gompers said last night
that the subject did not come up for
discussion in any of the meetings
yesterday. He expects, however, that
he subcommittee will make a report
at an early day, and action then will
be taken by the council. Mr.. Gompers
remarked laughingIy that nothing
revolutionary about the Miller case
might be anticipated
Mr.. Gompers said that owing to the
necessity of some of the members of
the council returning to their busi-
ness the council had adjourned with
out transacting all the business be-
fore it. These unfinished matters
were referred to tie same sub-com-
mittee as the Miller case. The sub
committee was directed to make re-
port at an early day, and while the
council would not convene again be-
fore the assembling of the national
convention in November these mat
ters would be finished up by mail.
Mr.. Gompers refused to say
whether the subcommittee had au-
thority to take up the Miller case
with President Roosevelt, while the
council has the Miller case under
consideration. the statement is made
that no other body will have author
ity to take it up with the president.
