Proclamation
Arrangements have been made for the
observance of Memorial day Saturday
May 10 1903 It is well for us that one
day in each year should be set apart to
renew our memories of the services per
formed by the dead heroes that wo may
glorify their deeds celebrate their vic
tory and commemorate their death For
the proper recognition of this da suit
able programs have been provided for
morning and aftornoon of the day and
it is requested that all places of busi
ness bo closed from the hour of 10 oclock
a m until 4 oclock p m that as many
as may can repair to the places desig
nated and assist in the ceremonies
Dated this 21st day of May 1903
O E Eldred Mayor
It has come to bo regarded as a proper
caper to organize these days until organ
ization is running to seed The ulti
mate effect will bo the same as though
no organization existod in some respects
at least so far as labor is concerned
Another point has been scored for the
Postal Telegraph against the Western
Union in the fight for right of way along
the Pennsylvania lines It is possible
wo may have competition in telegraph
tolls yet but it is more probable that
the two big telegraph companies after
sparing for vantage will get together and
let the public foot the bills Bee
TJighkr education got it literally
between the eyes in Lincoln the other
day when the university lads indulged
in their annual shirttail parade and
attempted to invade the Eagles carnival
tents without money and without price
A squad of policemen and a number of
deputies and specials were on hand to
welcome the invaders and the scholastics
got the hottest time recorded in modern
university annuals The faculty may
now proceed to remove the bumps and
soreness by exonerating the scholarly
toughs
The dome of the capitol at Washing
ton is being painted livery live years
its coat is renewed and 15000 gallons of
white lead are used in the process The
work is being done by eighteen men un
der the direction of Billy Lewis and
Al Ports The latter has been em
loyed for such work about the capitol
for thirty nine years Ports is the only
man who ever climbed to the top of the
statue of liberty surmounting the dome
He did this on Labor day 189i and
fastened a garland of electric light bulbs
around the neck of her majesty
Organize a New Club at Lincoln
The Lincoln club is the name of a new
railway mens organization which re
cently held its first meeting at the office
of Mr Scott local freight agent for the
Burlington There were in attendance
at the meeting a number of men inter
ested in the traffic and operating depart
ments of the Burlington The first meet
ing showed that the interests of the
traffic men and the operating depart
ment people of times clashed more or less
and that a club where an understanding
of the difficulties confronting both de
partments may be had will be of benefit
to all
The subject discussed at the first meet
ing that attracted the greatest interest
was tonnage In this the operating
department isinterested in handling long
trains as cheaply as possible while the
traffic departments are most interest
ed in prompt service and trains that
run on time The discussion of pro
blems relating to this subject brought
out many statements from the traffc
officials that the operating departments
were looking for and had prepared to
answer while the operating men showed
the traffic men the economy due to haul
ing long trains and making slower time
with their freights On this line it was
suggested that business is oftentimes
lost to the company by such moves for
economy and that weak lines get
traffic simply by offering shorter trains
that can and do make better time
The club men will hold occasional
meetings at which subjects relating to
railroad management and traffic getting
will be taken up Tne idea is to improve
the service of the road at the same time
making it possible for the operating de
partments to carry out their ideas of
of economy without hurting the busi
ness getting end
G W Rhodes assistant superintend
ent in charge of the motive power de
partment was in the chair during the
meeting Mr Rhodes has been the
champion of railway mens clubs at
which business matters relating to the
management of the road are discussed
since he came to Lincoln and his ideas
have attracted the interest of many men
employed by the Burlington Lincoln

opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Idealism in philosophy is one thing
in literature and thought it is another
thing and in daily life it is the apex of
an ascending series the base of which is
agnosticism An agnostic is a man who
bolieves nothing that he cannot abso
lutely prove a practical man 19 one who
believes anything that he can prove be
yond a reasonable doubt a hopeful man
is one who believes anything he cannot
disprove and an idealist is one -who be
lieves what ho knows is not true
The therapeutic value of idealism long
ago became so apparent that in the early
part of the last century there sprang up
in Germany a school of doctors whose
only resources in the treatment of disease
were an infinite amount of idealism and
an infinitesimal amount of medicine
They are called homeopaths
So reflects the Lonely Man in a book
filled with epigrams If one is himself
sometimes given to reflection and who
of us is not ho will find between the
covers of this book thoughts that he
himself has had truths whoso verity
cannot be questioned It is a book for
a winters evening and a grate fire A
more appropriate environment can
scarcely be imagined and books like
all else have their times and places
Do not however await the return of
winter to read what the Lonely Man has
to say lie can be read with as much
enjoyment now as on another occasion
The winters evening and the grate fire
are suggestions for lovers of the fitness
of things
First and last nearly every topic of
daily life is touched upon and in the
manner the reader thinks he himself if
he but had the skill would like to have
done it It is a delightful book for a
quiet hour almost as fresh and breezy
one thinks as Holmes Autocrat per
haps not so ambitious certainly not so
long which in these hurried days were
of itself a recommendation It may be
the years that have intervened since the
earlier book was read should militate
against the value of this opinion but let
anyone who considers the praise extrav
agant read for himself the Reflections
of a Lonely Man He will at least
have expended his time to good advan
tage The book is one that is well worth
everyones attention

Francis to Go to Chicago
John Francis general passenger ngent
for the B M is according to reports
that come from ordinarily reliable rail
road sources to be made general passen
ger agent of the Chicago Burlington
Quincy system with headquarters at
Chicago Mr Francis is in Denver and
the matter is not being discussed at the
B M headquarters but local railroad
men outside of tho Burlington offices be
lieve tho report to be true and look for
tho change to take effect within a very
short time possibly not later than July
1 Not only is this report accredited in
Omaha but Chicago railroad men also
give credence to it One Chicago official
who was in Omaha on business a few
days ago said
I cannot tell definitely but all signs
point to Mr Francis as the general pas
senger agent of the Burlington at Chi
cago That is the general supposition
in the official circles in Chicago
Tho Chicago Burlington Quincy is
without a general passenger agent at
present Since the acquisition of the
road by James J Hill P S Eustis
formerly general passenger agent has
been promoted to the office of general
traffic manager while Darius Miller
formerly second viee p resident of the
Great Northern was transferred from
St Paul to Chicago and made general
traffic manager of all the Hill lines This
vacated the general passenger agency
Since the abolition of the general ad
vertising department of the B M in
Omaha which under Mr Francis did
a vast amount of work for the Chicago
and St Louis offices railroad men have
been anticipating some other important
changes The rumor has been current
for some time that Hillism would bo
come so dominant on the B M as to
have tho effect of doing away entirely
with the general passenger agency here
and creating a division passenger agency
instead The report of Mr Francis
transfer to Chicago tends to confirm this
rumor and bear out the theory that Hill
proposes to operate his new lines as far
as possible from Chicago The recent
transfer from Lincoln to Chicago of a
large force of clerks is another evidence
of this policy which has so distinctly
characterized all of Mr Hills move
ments as to have become known as
Hillism
In connection with the report that
Mr Francis is to leave Omaha comes
another report that negotiations are now
on foot for the sale of his handsome
Omaha residence
John Francis is one of the best known
and recognized as one of tho ablest rail
road passenger men of the country His
long service with the B M has
brought him to the front as an alert ag
gressive man and the remarkable strides
which have been made since his incum
bency have given warrant for the high
standard that has been placed upon his
work The position for which he is said
to be slated is of course in the nature of
a promotion Bee
Demands Not Yet Granted
The Burlington and its trainmen have
not yet got together on the wage scale
but trainmen are hopeful that all differ
ences will be settled soon The train
men will have a meeting with the offi
cials of the company in Chicago on June
6 at which time some definite action is
looked for It was thought that the set
tlement with the trainmen on the Great
Northern would effect the settlement
with the men on the Burlington and
that something like what the Great
Northern men secured would be tender
ed the employes of this read It is said
that the provisions agreed upon in rela
tion to double headers by the Great
Northern and its trainmen would meet
the approval of the Burlington men
The engine builders may solve this
double header question for us some day
said a Lincoln trainman yesterday
They are building engines now that
will pull a train so long that it is difficult
for a conductor to signal the engineer or
for the engineer to see the flags of the
caboose Then the problem will come
up under another name and the sugges
tion of a tonnage basis made by the
Great Northern employes will receive
more attention Lincoln Journal
