A joint statement issued said:
''The following joint statement was
issued by the conference Of managers

Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
representing the Brotherhood of Rail

"First the men to be returned to
their positions at once, without preju
dice or loss of seniority.
Second, the questions at issue were
disposed of as follows:
(a)-Meals to be settled by the
commission of eight at New York.

The conference between the managers

The question of 'meals" is by-pro-

After Murdoek S departure, the
brotherhood representatives again met
with the general managers committee
and announced that thev were authoriz-
ed 10 make a settlement.
The settlement, it was stated on be-
half fof the railroads, was on the basis
Of an adjudication of all questions in
dispute save that of the closed shop,
by a committee composed of Ine rail
way brotherhoods outside of the rail
way trainmen and the general mana
gers. The railroads announced that un-
der the settlement the Switchmen of
North America, now employed, would
retain their positions.
: The railroad brotherhood went into
conference and said they might make a
statement later
James Murdoch, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who
ordered the strike and lead the strik-
ing switchmen, simply announced that
the strike had been settled but deelin-
ed to give any terms. He said that he
had sent out committees at once TO mo-
tify the strikers and hat they would all
be at work before nine O'Clock.
A. j. Lovelt, vice president of the
engineers brotherhood would add moth
ing to MurdOck's s statement.
Managers Statement
The railroad managers issued a sup
Elemental statement saying that the
strike had been settled through the in
terventiOn of the brotherhoods of rail
way conductors, engineers and firemen
and enginemen. The managers said that
the affiliated brotherhoods had ruled
thai the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men was in the wrong in ordering. the
strike, (which had as its main object
0usting the Switchmen of North Amer
ca in Chicago yards.''
The strike was settled approximately
fifty hours after it had been called
and in that time had tied up about fif-
ty per cent of the transcontinental
freight traffic of he United States 1t
was said that the intervention of three
brotherhoods was largely caused by the
attitude of the federabgovernment that
stopping of railway supplies would be
promptly followed by federal interven-
ion in some form.
During the conferences, George w.
W. Hanger of federal board of medi-
ltion and conciliation was called in
ind the situation explained to him. He
leclined to say what he had told the
conference, but settlement followed

cultivation can modify these factorts

SEWERS HELD ANOTHER
GREAT POLAND SALE

home north OF Audubon, that was
probably the best sale of Poland
China hogs ever held west of the
Mississippi river. His forty head OF
bred soWs and gifts Melted 1890
80 or $30S25 on the average.
A man should indeed be proud
OF his efforts when bringing such
remarkable individuals to such a
degree OF perfection as the bunch
Mr.. Sievers has just disposed of.
The strange part OF this sale
was that only four OF the forty
offerings was bought by farmers OF
Audubon County.
Was it because that farmers
were all supplied with this high
grade stuff, or, that they felt too
poor to buy?
AT least half of the number
ought to have been scattered over
Audubon County until every farm
had a start in these fine animals.

COST Of LIVING
STILL ADVANCING

The prices OF commodities are
rising even more rapidly now than
they were a year ago. According
to Bradstreets average prices adj
vanced IL IL per cent i'll January
| They are now 25 per cent higher
than they were one year ago, Al
per cent higher than two years ago,
and 81 per cent higher than they
were three years ago. They are
now 142 per cent above the low
price of July |, 1896. According to
Dunn's figures prices are now 33
per cent higher than they were ON
january 1, 1897
The English board of trade

We have frequently stated our
reasons for thinking that such ra-
dical advances as these in the cost
of living, are so disturbing. econ
omically and politically, that they
spell all kinds of revolution
as the world is now having.
In view of the prolonged and
world wide rise in prices, accen-
tuated of course by the war how
ridiculous it is for our cities and
states to have picaynne commits
sions to enquire into the high cost
of living The most of such com
mission cannot see beyond their

1t Was Well Worked and Completely
Fooled General Bingham.

General john A. Bingham was !;
member of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs. Surratt and the Lincoln AS
sassination conspirators
Aftel the tllal in the subsequent de
bates i'll the house General &. +. But
Ter frequently charged that the com
mission had arrived at an unjust ver-
dict and had convicted an innocent
woman. In memorable debate he
boldly proclaimed that if the contents
of diary which had been found or
the dead body of j. Wilkes Booth Were
/ ever made public ii would disclose the
| fact that it contained the proof OF Mrs
| Sulratts innocence. which proof has
been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
, commission.
When General Bingham made move
ment as though he would repel such
an accusation Butler dramatically drew
u memorandum book from his breast
pocket and held it aloft, but did not
utter word. Bingham naturally sup
posed that Butler had copy of a
diary such us he had spoken of. AS
a matter of fact the book contained
| nothing but blank leaves General
Butler was just blufing.
| The diary was in possession of Sec
| rotary Stanton, but President johnson
finally demanded it. 1t was an inter
esting book, but it threw no light. upon
the great conspiracy.
