MAUPIN's WAY OF THINKING AFTER THK BATTLE. Election's past and lost or won, according as you view it, But if you've lost just ginger up; it does no good to rue it. There's much to do to push ahead the town in which you're living, So grab a hold and don't let go, your best assistance giving. Don't knockl The knocker is a man who injures all his neighbors, And strives to nullify tho good they do by public labors. Don't knockl But when a move is made yield to it your compliance And help to whoop it good and strong for booming young Alliance. Election's past and won or lost 'tis use less to regret it; And if you've had it handed you 'tis best that you forget it. There's work that you should haste to do a work that's now awaiting. So grab a hold and set to work, new ways of trade creating. Don't knockl For God a knocker hates with hatred that's eternal, And has for him a punishment ir red-hot climes infernal. Don't knock! But when a move is made bid failure flat defiance, And join the crowd and set to work for hustling young Alliarce. Election's pas,t and we hive won or else we've been snowed under And now tho game of politics can quickly go to thunder. ' There's work on hand that's calling us and won't take no for answer, And there's enough that must be done to call out every man, sir. Don't knockl This life's too short for that; spit on your hands and rustle. Let's set a pace that other towns to keep in sight must hustle. Don't knock! But in a future bright let's put our full reliance, And whoop it up until the world knows where to find Alliance. Every now and then some knowledge ous gent confidentially gives out the information that lie knows the Com moner is a losing proposition and that Mr. Bryan now heartily wishes him self out of it. There are a few Lin coln republicans who are occasionally called east, and on these occasions they never lose an opportunity to "knock." Now it's nobody's business, save the men who advertise therein, what the Commoner is doing in a business way, but for the benefit of a few who seem wonderfully interested therein I will say that between July x and October i of the present year of our Lord, 1902, the Commoner added upwards of 45,000 subscribers to its list all new aud all paid a year ahead. We know a whole lot of live republican newspapers that would like to be that "dead." Next November there will be one jus tice of the supreme court and two regents of the State University to elect. Wait for next November. It is often remarked that "corpora tions have no souls," which may be true, but most men who manage corpo rations have souls. The retirement of Edward Dickinson from the position of general manager of the Union Pacific may not be of especial interest to Alli ance people, but it is of especial interest to the writer. Here and now I want to add my voice to the general tribute to his ability and character, and to again express my obligations to him for a great service he rendered me in one of the darkest periods of my life. Four years ago next Thanksgiving day my baby boy was stricken with the dread disease, diphtheria. Mother and babe were visiting in North Bend, Neb., and I was at my desk in the World Herald office. A telegram summoned me to North Bend, and when I arrived there the physician told me that an operation was the only chance of sav ing the baby's life. There was not a , moment to spare. I called up Gilbert M. Hitchcock by telephone and he called up the leading surgeon of Omaha. He then called up General Manager Dickinson and asked if a special could be run from Omaha to North Bend, explaining the circumstances. "An engine and way car will be at the depot when the surgeon gets there," said Mr. Dickinson. And it was. The surgeon and his assistant boarded the way car, the en gineer opened the throttle arid the special started. One regular passenger train and two regular freight trains were sidetracked to make way for that special, and in just 70 minutes the dis tance of sixty-one miles between Omaha and North Bend was covered the sur geon arriving at the bedside of the baby in an hour and a half after I had spoken to Mr. Hitchcock. It was, however, too late to save the little one, and he passed into life eter nal before tho surgeon's vork vas well begun. . Mr. Hitchcock guaranteed the pay ment of the special, and a week after wards "Sandy" Woodbridge, city edi tor of the World-Herald, went down to Union Pacific headquarters to pay for it. Ho asked how much it was and Mr, Dickinson named the regular rato for a special train, $2 a mile. Woodbridge started to fill out U10 check and while ho was writing Mr. Dickinson asked him about tho result of the trip. As Woodbridge told the story of the baby's death the tears came to Mr. Dickinson's eyes and ho nervously fumbled the papers on his desk. Then ho reached over and took tho check from Woodbridge's hand, toro it up and threw the pieces into the waste basket. "Tell Maupin I sympathize with him. There'll be no charge for the special. Excuse me, please; I'm very busy today." Is it any wonder the employes of the Union Pacific arc sorry to see Edward Dickinson go? My story is but a feeble example of his character. He was the steadfast friend of every em ploye of the road, no matter how hum ble, and each one, from section man to chief clerk could approach him and find a sympathetic listener. If in his future work Mr. Dickinson accomplishes for himself and his em ployes all I wish for him and them, then he and they will have all that mortal men can desire. There is a man in Lincoln who is very frank and honest, as this true little story will attest. He is given to using tobacco to ex cess, knowing that it is injurious. But he loves the weed. Some time ago his wife persuaded him to try a well advertised cure for the tobacco habit, and for two weeks he took it religiously and according to directions. Then he threw the medicine away. "What on earth did you throw it away for?" queried his wife. " 'Cause the dd stuff wac curing me," he replied. Chancellor Andrews knows how to talk to young men. He is not a spread eagle crator, but has a plain, blunt way of saying things, and the Univer sity boys respect him for it. After the Minnesota football game, in which Nebraska won a notable victory, the students took the town in their delirium of joy, and perpetrated somo things that were not exactly right. Chancellor Andrews said nothing until a day or two before tho game with the Haskell Institute team. Then he made a little talk during the convoca tion period in which he counselled moderation. " Don't do anything that injures property, young men. Rejoice over victories, and I'll rejoice with you. But do no wrong. I would rather see you beaten by the Indians than see you beaten by the devil." That was all, but the boys caught the force of the remarks. They de feated the Indians overwhemingly and had a great jubilee, but they conducted it like young gentlemen. During his campaign W. H. Thomp son advanced an argument that oppo nents of government ownership of the coal mines would do well to ponder over. He cited the case ot tne irriga tion law, and then said: " If it is right and proper for the government to take the waters that flow down tho mountain sides, store it and direct it over the arid lands for the benefit of mankind, why would it not be proper for the government to take the coal that lies benath the ground and store it and direct it for the benefit of man kind?" Will some opponent of government ownership please answer? By the way, is there any reason why Alliance should not be the central wholesale distributing point for all points nortli, south and west on the Burlington lines? Thanksgiving day ought to be a great day for all of us. The winners may be thankful they won and the losers may be thankful that they are alive. Let us all give thanks. I know a family in Lincoln that could make good use of a turkey on Thursday, November 27th. It needn't bo such a gosh-awful big one, either, but it would taste better if it came from Alliance. Of course I'm not going to give the name of the family, but if some good Samaritan in Alliance family gets it. Dr. Horn is writing mighty interest ing letters. Perhaps ho does not poso ns n humorist, but in his letter last week ho perpetrated a delicious bit of humor. Speaking of Great Salt Lake he mentioned tho saline properties of tho water and said: "Onco tasted it will never be forgotten." If ovor you have tasted it you'll appreciate the humor of tho remark. Wowl There's only one thing that " nigger gin " won't remove, nnd that's tho tasto of Salt Lako water. Ever drink " nigger gin?" It's made of turpentine, rainwater and Orleans sugar. There's a young lady in Lincoln who knows more about photography now than she did six months ago. When tho Burlington passenger department announced some valuable prizes for tho best photos of Nebraska scenery this young lady determined to enter the contest. She read up on amateur photography and invested a neat little Bum in a camera. She made several excursions and took numerous shots at the scenery she selected. Then she took the plates to a photographer for development. The photographer sought in vain to develop something, but despite his best efforts tho plates failed to show a mark. When the young lady called for her negatives the photographer asked her a few questions. " O, I just selected tho objects I wanted to photograph," she exclaimed, Mand pointed the tube at them. Then I pressed the bulb." " Is that all?" queried the photog rapher. " Why, yes; that's what the direc tions said." Then the photographer retired into his dark room and laughed, and laughed and laughed. The young lady had forgotten to take the metal cap fiom the lens. This consignment of stuff was written late Monday night. If it isn't up to standard please make duo allowances for a few things. It is the night bo fore election and tho writer don't know whether ho is licked or a winner. Trying to write under such circum stances has its drawbacks. At 1 1 129 p m., November 3, it looks as if I am defeated for the senate by a majority ranging anywhere between 1,800 and 77,000. But, thank the Lord, there's a bushel of taters in the cellar and 4,000 pounds of hard coal in the coal shed. If anything more is needed the Lord will provide. Captain W. R. Akers will Rive his lee ture, "Jerusalem," at Lakeside Sundayi evening, November 16. The captain will wlso speak at the morning service.
