viding that each district should vote

tatives on the conciliation board The

senting vote. Following this the DEL

separately, after which the convention,
by rising vote, ratified the action.
Another resolution was adopted pro-
viding that all grievances. instead Of
being thrashed out in debate should
be given to the conciliation board for
consideration. III
The convention adjourned until this
afternoon for the purpose of giving the
operators an opportunity to accept or
reject the action Of the convention in

ators Will accept. President Mitchell
told the convention there was no ad-
vance in wages yet due the miners.
The average price of coal had not been
higher than $4.52, but hy the end of
June the price will reach $4.62, which
will entitle the miners to per cent

BURGLAR AT DICKENS.
VIM. Mccurdy Robbed of $50 and Z
Draft for $640.

Special to Times Republican.
Dickens, Iowa June 16.-A thief en-
tered the home of William McCurdy
and took about $50 out of the pocket OF
his pants, which he had left lying on
the foot of the bed. After taking the
money and draft to the creamery
company, amounting to $640 the thief
went to the kitchen and helped himself
to full supply of short cake and cream
which Mrs. McCurdy had left on the
table.
The weather has cleared and the
roads which have been almost impas-
sable for long time are getting bet
ter. but there is but little more than
half of the acreage of corn that there
would have been If we had had a dry
warm spring, and quite a good many
acres of small grain arc drowned out.
The new steel bridge across the out
let to Lost Island lake is completed and
now those living south of town can get

Most of the bridges carried out by

SQUADRON TO .lslr ENGLAND
American Warships to Attend cele-

American Warships to Attend Cele-
bration r. British, Waters.
Washington, June 16.-By direction
OF the president the secretary of state
has accepted an invitation from the
British government to send the Amer
lean squadron on the European station
on a gala visit to England during the
summer.
Ever since the German emperor
asked President Roosevelt to send a
squadron of American warships to the
regatta at Kiel. the English govern
ment has been seeking to have the
president consent to have the same
squadron attend some celebration IN
English waters, either the review of the
British fleet at Spithead or the yachting
regatta at Cowes. The earnestness OF
Great Britain in this connection mas
caused some amusement here. where
the idea has obtained that the govern
ment at London would feel very much
chagrined if an American squadron
visited Germany and participated in a
national festival and failed to visit
England on similar mission
That Great Britain regarded the mat
ter as one of considerable political inn
portance was the impression created. 1t
became evident to officials in Washing
ton that the English government feared
that an acceptance by the United
States of Emperor Williams invitation
to send warships to kiel would create
the impression among the nations OF
the world that Germany was on terms
of closer friendship with this country
than England was, and thus dispel the
idea that there was sort of informal
friendly understanding between the two
great English speaking powers.

the dead at Heppner, at 300. The prop
arty loss will reach half a million. No
systematic effort has yet been made to
find the dead, who are undoubtedly
strewn along the canyon. Every avail
able man from a radius of siXty-hve

clearing away the piles of debris, rocks

in the streets, and taking out corpses
which are thus concealed. Abou. 100
persons have been buried in Heppner's
grave yard. Owing to the entire abb

the dead, the victims of the flood were
