 Nebraskan Is In Control.

Fremont, Neb., June 22.-The resolution introduced by Senator Allen at the popu- list state convention last night Is gener- ally admitted to favor fusion with the democratic national ticket should Will liam J. Bryan secure control of the St. Louis convention. It demands a straight populist ticket, however, in case the anti Bryan wing Is victorious.
 Former Senator William V. Allen, who will undoubtedly head the Nebraska pop ulist delegation, stated it as his belief that a straight populist ticket should be nominated at Springfield but declined to express an opinion as to who the nomi- nees would be.

The bolt came down a chimney, passed through the sitting room into a hall and thence into the kitchen, where 1t hit the sink and demolished it, leaving off here in it's fury. During its passage through the kitchen a nergro ser want was In the act of putting on her shoes and had one in her hand at the time. The shoe was thrown some dis tance from her and the sole torn off, while she received no injury. The girl was so much frightened that she seemed afraid to enter the kitchen to perform her Usual duties yesterday.
 An attempt was made about Il o'clock last night to repeat the burglary of sew eral weeks ago on the Annston Knitting Mill on Fifteenth street and Walnut ave- rue The effort, however proved fruitless, as the would-be burglar was frightened away after having broken III a window near where large amount of stock for

 Before the assembling of the last ses- sion of the legislature notice was given that a bill would be introduced to pro- vide for Judge T. w. Coleman to receive his salary monthly instead of quarterly as heretofore. The bill was introduced but, due to clerical errors, the law in ad- dition to carrying out the intended pur- 1 pose, reduced the salary from $250O to $2000. In the light of this Treasurer H. B. Glover did not feel safe in paying over more than 5000 until so ordered by the courts. Represented by Knox, Acker & Blaekman, Judge Coleman took the mat ter up in the circuit court. Yesterday Judge Pelham granted the mandamus prayed for and Judge Coleman will get his full salary monthly and all the ar- rears will be forthcoming. Tn granting the order Judge Pelham held that the part of the law reducing the salary was unconstitutional. This he based on two grounds. First, that a notice to change the dates of payment is not sufficient to authorize law reducing salary. and the second Is that the constitution forbids the reduction of mans salary for the time during which he Is elected to serve

in the state from his standpoint MT.

in the state from his standpoint. MT. Mover said In part:
 The deportation of the union men and others being in my opinion unlawful. the Western Federation of Miners will use all lawful means to re-estabiish their members in their homes. No violence will be resorted to, but such legal steps as may be necessary to bring about the de- sired results will be taken at the proper time. Pending such action. deported members and their families will be sup ported by the federation.
 General Bell claims that his policy has been successful and that other states are expected to follow suit. If this be true. then rebellion is not improbable, as the great majority of the American people are today condemning such a sys- tenn, and regardless of unionism would bitterly resist any attempt to put the same into practice. I disagree with the general as to the labor troubles being set tied in Colorado, but do believe they will be settled by the ballot In the month of November"
