The stores, court house and other business places of the city will be closed during the hour of the afternoon review :n order to permit the citizens visiting the camp to witness the parade of the troops and to hear the address of Governor Mc, Kelvie.

Wiles and their neice, Miss Marguerite Wiles, who have been in . attendance at the Ep worth League assembly in Lincoln for the past ten days, have returned not only much rested by the pleas ant outing but inspired by the many very able lectures and addresses de livered during the course of the en tertainments. Prof. Bessitt and wife and daughter, Jeanette, of York, ac companied Mr. and Mrs. Wiles home to this city. Mrs. Bessitt is a cousin of Mrs. Wiles. Even granting that non-advertis ing stores could attract as many buyers as the advertising ones, the latter would make the more money, because buyers would come knowing exactly what they wanted and not take up nearly so much clerk time, thereby reducing materially the over head expense.

From Saturday's L'atly. A. G. Roman of this city, has re ceived a letter from relatives in Washington in which is conveyed the news of the serious condition of his brother, Ole Roman, as the re sult, of an accident there two weeks ago. Mr. Roman, who is employed by one of the large lumber companies at Sheldon. 'Washington, has been'nnd the roads took the proposal un- engaged in running a "Donkey" en gine that hauls loads of logs from the logging camps to the mills and it was while in the discharge of his du ties that he received the very seri- pus injuries. The accident occurred while Mr. Roman was pulling a load of logs to the mills and was caused when a steam cap of the engine blew off and caused a stream of the scalding steam to strike the unfortunate man on the upper portion of the body, as he attempted to check the escape of the steam. His right arm was burned from the shoulder to the tip of his fingers and the left arm from the shoulder to the elbow. He also re ceived burns on are very serious. was hurried to the hospital at Shel don where he is being given treat ment at the present time. Owing to his own poor health, Mr. A. G. Roman has foun dit impossible to go to Washington, much as he might desire to visit the brother. The injured man was formerly a resident of this city where he was employed in the Burlington shops and the old time friends regret very much to learn of his condition at the present time and trust that he may be able to recover from the severe injuries. PEDESTAL AND THE FUTURE It seems to be an inherent Ameri can weakness to make pedestals somewhat easily and then to put men on them before it is at all certain that such men deserve it, or that the pedestal will hold them. There is much to be said for en thusiasm; there is much to be said for the ability which leads men to see in imagination a $10,000 a year business grow into one which leads a million a year. Some of the most splendid achievements of our day started first as an, ardent wish-or dream, which, when it had gathered enough force, becamo a reality. When Balboa first laid the idea of a Pana ma canal before the emporer of Spain and made surveys in 1515, men no doubt looked up this explorer as a visionary with more imagina tion than good sense. Today the ca nal is as real and practical as a city street. Our quest f-r happiness would be futile indeed if we were not so able and willing to forget past disap pointments, and with a liberal use of imaginary material, rebuild state lier mansions on the ruins of the old. It is not merely what we do this hour that lays the foundation for our future; our achievements in years to come derive their importance and dimensions somewhat from our plans and hopes and yearnings. As a sage has said, "A man's reach should ex ceed his grasp, or what's heaven for?" And still this reaching out is not without its dangers. Disappointment and heartache lie in store for him in his fitful reaching out overlooks the things which may be grasped and must be held so that the future may not prove altogether visionary. "Ex tend your reach, but make sure of your grasp," is philosophy counsel ed by the wisdom of years. Whether we will or no, wo must paint roseate the future; which is akin to putting men on pedestals we do. And men grow in stature in proportion to what others think of them. Scoff and jeer at them long enough, and all but a feV will think the scoffing and jeering merited, and everyone will fall somewhat short of his best, because others withheld from him the confidence without which great things are seldom done. The man who weighs to nicety anoth er's efforts and capabilities and leaves -no margin of good will and hope, contributes nothing to prog ress. Since pedestals we must have, it is wise to make sure that the men whom we place on them are not ex alted beyond all reason; to make sure when we select our leaders that they can in some measure fulfill our expectations; but we must not with draw from them at our slightest whim the support which they need to carry a difficult task to comple tion. The average mail circulation in the United States is said to be 112 first class letters per capita each year. A good many, of course, are statements of account, but the com paratively low number of remit tances helps keep the average down. MEN SUBMIT PROPOSAL TO END STRIKE SCHEME -FOR SETTLEMENT RAIL WALKOUT PRESENT ED TO EXECUTIVES. OF New York, Aug. IS. The five great railroad brotherhoods which have stopped into the nation-wid shopmen's strike as mediators, today offered to the roads what they termed a practical proposition for peace. der consideration Neither side would oHIcially dis close the terms of the proposition. In some quarters close to the con ferences, it was said that acceptance of the proposal by the executives would result in the immediate return of all strikers to their old jobs with full and unimpaired seniority and pension rights, in addition to reten sion of men hired since the strike. The proposition, on the other hand, j was outlined in other quarters as providing for restoration of strikers as rapidly as posible. with their sen iority rights to be adjusted ultimate ly to the satisfaction of all. The proposition in these quarters the stomach thatiwas understood 10 ie in me nature-. tiia ininreri man lof a gentlemen's agreement, it was i i i . . i . . . . i . . . . : .1 uuiktsuhhi, uiai uuiu jiiniut: mill ; the question which will arise at the ' end of the busy fall season would be J handled as it had been in other years according to the usual weeding t out process. No Apparent Surrender The whole plan, it was unofficially indicated, would mean that without any apparent surrender by either the railroads or the shopcrafts, the strik ers would not suffer any more in the ! long run than would be usual after an industrial struggle of this kind. I A committee of nine executives,' appointed to meet the brotherhood , men. listened to this proposition and j hastily summoned a general meeting of the representatives of 14 S roads, which probably will be held here next Tuesday, then fixed the next meeting with the mediation commit tee for next Wednesday in this city. The official version of today's con ference was told in the following communique issued late this after noon by T. DeWitt Cuvler. head of the Association of Railway Execu- tives. "The conference between the lead crs of the five train service organiz ations acting as mediators and a committee of railway executives has been adjourned until some dav next week, not yet designated. Prior to further conferences, the committee of rallwav executives will consider further the suggestions made and consult with their associates. "The discussions which have taken j place have been marked by a com- j mendable public spirit and frankness on both sides, and this recess is tak- en without any dimimition of this j attitude." j Proposal Accepted j It was revealed tonight that a pro posal, which to use the language in ! which it was expressed by several of the labor leaders, "would assure the' strikers of all their seniority rights . unimpaired, without necessitating a retreat by the executives from their stand for protection of loyal and new men" was accepted by the rail chiefs when yesterday's conference! ended. The executives, it was declar-j I.1' accepieu sucn a soiu- .... i , i, i iion oi i iir seniority question in De - half of the full membership of the Associatien of Railway Executives wiujiii luey representee!. This agreement, it was said, was the basis upon w hich Mr. Cuyler in ! a long distance telephone conversa-' tion with Senator Watson of Indiana, as reported by the senator at Wash ington, said that prospects for an early settlement were bright. Optimism Vanishes Later, however, Senator Watson reported another telephone talk with Mr. Cuyler after today's conference had begun, in which he was said to Lhave declared prospects were not so bright. Labor leaders asserted Mr. Cuyler's optimism vanished when other members of the executive com mittee announced they had reconsid ered and were unwilling to commit themselves to such a settlement. While the committe was willing to accept in behalf of its members, they hesitated to committ the whole membership of their association, it was' said. This was the reason put forth by labor leaders for issuing a call for a general meeting of the as sociation next week. lOCrUNEWS From Saturday's Dally. A. B. Fornoff of near Cedar Creek was here for a few hours today look ing after some trading with the mer chants. Hery A. Egenberger came down this afternoon to enjoy a visit at the home of his parents and to join ! his wife and babe who have been here for a short time. Misses Eleanor Schulhof and Tres sie Hackenberg were among those going .to Omaha this afternoon to visit for a few hours looking after some matters of business. Misses Alice Louise Wescott andi Ruth Shannon, who were attending Camp Brewster for the past ten days, returned home last evening. Miss Wescott brought with her the trophy as tennis champion of the junior class. The news that the Irish have fought a battle for the possession of Cork confirms a very general belief that that town would bo sure to bob up again.

A de mand that congress immediately re enact legisltaion "to compel the striking railroad workers to return and to compel the railroads to take them back" wa3 presented to a strike emergency meeting of fruit growers, shippers, and state and railroad offi cials here today by a special com mittee. The committee's report suggested that the matter of obligatory media tion to be handled by a federal com mission which shall have full author ity to prevent strikes.
