accompanied Mrs Heb cr to a hospital in Lincoln last Friday night on No 6 Mrs Heber has not been well for several weeks past and her condition became somewhat ac cute end of last week It is understood that dispatchers on every division of the Burlington lines west of the river with the exception of the Sheridan division have peti tioned the management for an in crease in pay The management has repMed that the matter is taken under consideration and an answer will soon be made Just why the dispatchers on the Sheridan division did not peti tion while others were asking for more pay is not known The movement for more pay inaug uated by dispatchers is country wide On many roads it has been taken up by the dispatchers organization while on other roads the request has been made individually and by petition It is understood that very few dispatch ers in the employ of the Burlington railroad are members of the organiza tion On some roads almost every dis patcher is a member When the train dispatchers organi zation was formed it had the effect of bringing the salaries of men on some roads that paid below the average scale up to the average In some in stances it was not necessary to await a demand The managements acted at once and increased the payDispatch ers get from 125 to 175 a month It is said that one point urged by the dispatchers organization is that dispatchers be recognized as officials and not as employes merely Many of the men do not regard this matter as important enough to insist on Lincoln Journal T THE TT1UE GASAEIANCA ZZ CF TKZ CUKMiNG DECK WAS REALITY Wns Son cf French Admiral and the Wan Who Ordered Vessel Blown Up Wa Corn at Jamaica Plains The Boy on the Burning Deck is not a myth but an actual fact and few know that the man who gave the order for the destruction of the vessel on whose dtci the aioresaid boy stood was born in Jamaica Plain and lived there till his roaibt father who ob jected strenuously to the American revolution transplanted him to Eng land where he served under Nelson in the Battle of the Nile The boy vao French son of the ad miral of the French ship Orient and that was the vessel that blew up with the immortal boy standing by tho mainmast The boys unconscious destroyer Captain Benjamin Kallowell was borp in the old Boylston house still stand ing at the corner of Boylston and Cen ter streets in Jamaica Plains The house was built in 172G by the Boyls tons and afterward passed to tht rabid royalist Benjamin HallowelL after whom the captain was named The old man lived in Jamica Plain long enough to make himself unpopu lar when the American revolution broke out The son had been early sent to England for his education and he became one of the seven American born men to attain distinction in tho British navy In the battle of the Nile Captain Hallowell had command of the ship Swiftsure which ran down the luck less 1Orient When Captain Hallow ell gave the command for the French vessel to be blown up he knew noth ing of the thirteen-year-old son of the French admiral who foolishly but heroically obeyed his stern fathers order Dont leave the vessel until I give you permission and his proud though childlike form graced the doomed vessel when she with frag ments strewed around the sea Captain Hallowell afterward heard the sad tale and was much moved by it The boy called out three times in agony to his father he learned but stood resolutely by the mainmast though his father lay cold in death So much moved was the captain that he had a coffin made in the boys honor out of the floating fragments of the 1Orient and sent it to his friend and patron Lord Nelson with the story of the boys bravery and expressing deep regret for the young heros untimely end Nelson had the coffin placed in the cabin in remembrance of the boy and Captain Hallowell himself told the tale to the then widely known poet Felicia Hemans Her sympathies were immediately excited and she immortalized the boy in her sentimen ta verses and she named him wisely Casabianca Cruel Old Laws Englands present King George is spared the mental torture experienced by the earlier George by reason of tho numerous cases of capital punishment for which they had to sign warrants says the London Chronicle Of George III for example it Is said that he kept a register of all the cases of capital punishment it was then a capital offense to open without au thority a letter addressed to another that he entered in it the names of all felons sentenced to death with dates and particulars of convictions to gether with remarks upon the reasons which induced him to sign the war rants It is also recorded that he fre quently got up at night to peruse the fatal list and that he shut himself up closely in his private rooms during the hours appointed for the execution of criminals No wonder he went mad Story of a Cabinet The Swedish consul at Marseilles has received a modest but Interesting memento in the form of a cabinet for papers for transmission to King Gus tav V says the London Globe The history of the cabinet is interesting It is made of juniper wood and the tree was supposed to be a thousand years old when it was felled It bad grown on an estate near Marseilles which had belonged to the Clary fam ily One of the daughters married Bernadotte the founder of the royal house of Sweden Bonaparte it is said used to enjoy sitting under this tree Some time before the death of Oscar II the present king visited the home of his ancestors and expressed a desire to possess some souvenir of the place and the cabinet is the outcome of that wish Pater Hated Serpents Water Pater figures so seldom in biography that the following glimpse of the solitary scholar quoted by the San Francisco Argonaut is specially interesting During dinner a guest asked to see a necklace I was wear ying It was in toe form of a serpent made of silver wire deftly interwoven to resemble scales and to make it sinuous and supple I unfastened the serpent and as I handed It to Mr Pater who was nearest me it writhed in a lifelike manner and he drew back hfs hands with a slight move- ment of dislike In a flash I bered the passage in Marius tho curean In which the heros dislike to serpents is so vividly described and I realized the description to be auto j biographic W mfk0sMi ii Rf Jimr iMZVX e

office He came late the other day and discover ed that he had forgotten his keys No key at band would unlock the desk The maker could not give aid for an hour or more and some papers had to be reached before noon The desk was forcibly opened and two inner compartments were smashed Warm and tired from the exertion of wrecking his property the man took off his coat and slipped into an office coat in the pocket of which his keys jingled Tableau Before going home ho con tided to the office boy that he wourlnt can if he hadnt told New York Tribune U raves In China There are various kinds of graves in China The graves are dug- generally from twelve feet to thirteen feetbglow Teeth In Their Stomachs Whatever it may be that the lobster and the crab rapacious never dainty are eating they always see something else that they want and cant wait un til they have masticated the first be fore attacking the second But they dont give up the first not by any manner of means Nature humoring this rapacious bent has fitted the lob ster and the crab with teeth in their stomachs and they swallow their half masticated food and finish the chew ing process with their stomachs while they seize and chew the other thing that has attracted them Lobsters and crabs have no teeth ir their mouths They chew with their claws what they have time to and hand the unfinished Job down to their stomachs to do the rest

by Rev Frank Gray I Regular Sunday school services at 10 O ClOCK The federal court in Tennessee has sustained the interstate commerce commissions ruling that it is not un lawful to separate white and colored passengers on the railroads in case equal accommodations are given at the sameprice The railroads fought the Jim Crowlaw not because they were not willing to separate the races but because they did not wish to pro vide equal accommodations The cars set apart for the use of the blackd have been notoriously poor and un sanitary This decision will not give the colored people social equality with the whites on the trains but it will result in giving them equality in com fort Journal McConnells Balsam cures coughs The McCook Tribune 100 a year MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE Dr S C Beach
