'fuel department at this place were todiy
transferred by the company to Lincoln
where the chief fuel supply will be locat
ed from henceforth. C. O. Codman will
be fuel agent here from now en. We are
sorry to have these men leave us as they
are all good representative men and good
citizens and we have room for all such
in our city.
Decoration day is set apart as a na
tional holiday in which to decorate the
gavps of union soldiers and pay other
tributes of respect to the memory of the
brave. This service is a just debt which
every living American owes the dead,
and those who use the day for boisterous
ports, games and other amusements show
h very faint idea of the fitness of things.
The rising generation needs a lesson in
reverence. Lincoln Journal.
This morning while rambling around
town for news we happened to drop into
Hcisel mill and were surprised to see
what good flour he is making both whit
and and graham flaur also corumeal, and
we say to our readeta without any hesi
tation that you ought to patronize this
home industry and especially the
fanners because you can bring in
your grain and exchange it for flour
and go home with your grist the same
day.
Our friend C. W. Sherman, of the
Journal, who is noted for the muchness
of his mouth which with its strong un-archi-it
tendencies has several times sue
ceeded in getting the honorable gentle
wan into trouble, was again going this
morning down at the depot when Mr. C.
W., mouth and all, were promptly eject
ed from the depot platform by one of
iletective Pinnco's men. The last WO
aw of C. W., he was yainly looking for
an officer to arrest the "mercenary pup.
Tonight's Journal will probably have
another column of abuse to the B. & M.
And Pinkertons in particular, yet the
Pinkertons had nothing to da with Mr.
Sherman's removal.
The commencement exercises of the
high school Friday night promise to be
the best ever held in the city. An ex
cellent and interesting program has been
prepared and all that attend will be
highly entertained. The people of the
city should feel a deep interest in this
work and encourage the young people as
well as the teachers by their presence.
This is the commencement of real life
for them, and it is our duty when possi
ble to give them an encouraging start.
Besides they are not asking us to give
something for nothing, the exercises have
been well and thoughtfully prepared
and every one especially prepared for the
entertainment of those who may attend,
so that we are confident that all who at
tend will be well paid for their trouble.

OUR NATION DISGRACED
C. Whopper Slightly Disfigured but
Still In the Ring.
C Whopper Sherman, editor of the
Journal, was led off of the depot plat
form this morning by a special detective.
This disgrace to our nation was witnessed
by our special artist, nnd the following
is the way the Pinkerton men appeared:
f
Accidental Shooting.
Another case of accidental shooting.
Last evening Frank Whistler, having ob
tained an sld pistol and some cartridges
went up by the standpipe with his broth
er to practice shooting. While up there
Frank accidentally shot himself in the
leg. The wound seemed to be very
blight and he walked down town and
around quite a while without complaint
and in fact did not complain until after
he had gone to bed, when he began to
complain that his leg was hurting and
after close examination and questioning
it was learned that lie had shot himself.
Dr. Cook was immedia'ely called and
examined aud dressed the wound and re
ports the little fellow getting along very
nicely.
Such accidents, although this perpaps,
is very slight, are of too frequent occur
rence. There should be some means of
prohibiting boj-s from getting a hold of
old pistols and especially of cartridges.
Dealers should be prohibited by law
from selling to boys and by this means
such accidents would become less fre
quent Memorial Day-
Next Wednesday, May i"0, JS8S, will
mark the the twentieth annual reoccur
rence of Memorial Day. Although or
iginally instituted by the Grand Army,
the beautifnl ceremonies born of our
cemradship has been so widely adopted
that memorial day has become a great
national festival in which tender memo
ries and patriotic parposes rule the hour.
Let the graves of the dead be marked by
the pure blossoms of spring, which all
tongues speak the language of gratitude
and love. While rdl things else have
changed since the dawn of the first morn
of creation, they remain the same; they
blossom, bloowi, svitljer and die the same
today as they did in the Garden of pjden.
A fitting tribute to smoulder into dust,
above the still and pulseless breast of
the departed. Cover them over yes,
cover theia or?f.-
Cover them over ye, eev.'.i tSi.rin over,
l'ar-iit and linsbaiul ami btotUci' uui) lover
Crown iu your heart tli"sele;ir comrade t.f or
And cover them over witn beauti.nl flowers.
AH, of whatever faith or creed, are in
vited to aciist in commemorating the
memories of the day.

SONG ABOUT THE SCAB.
To sing of the scab ;t is my intention,
And a jolly good fellow is he;
He will venture his life
For his children anel wife, '
This fact all the strikers shall see.
lie has got good employment,
That brings great enjoyment,
! He knows that the strikers must scatter,
He now blows his whistle,
And ike the down from the thistle,
Away to the jyesf; wjth a clatter;
So giye a loud cliee?
For the scab engineer,
So independent, so manly and clever,
The strikers Rre flat,
While he throws up hia hat,
As he hanelles the throttle anel lever.
So jolly he feels,
As he oils up the wheels;
He glories to run her on time,
With his check in his hand.
He is like a king in the land,
'Tis no wonder he keeps her so prime.
What a meeting there will be,
His boy on his knee,
and his nipe loving wife at the bower.
He saya wife neer fear,
Though I am a scab engineer,
This check will keep the wolf from the
door.
To pull tlown our freedom,
! The strikers determined

They must come t our terms or theyil J

Of mise and of men,
And fools that are never coatented;
They will find their mistake,
When they have no purse to shake,
And then it is too late to mend it.
The Omaha Jiee
wants all people to see.
That if they take the Burlington route,
They will be thrown from the track,
On the flat of their back,
And return with bael fever and gout.
He has it all cut anel dried,
How many hundred get fiied
And scaleleel and killed in a sleeper
The thousands that are slain
On every mail train,
Send your wife if jeu don't want to
keep her.
iSow the strike is at an end.
Let every striker be a friend,
To the scab that is w illing to work.
Let liberty rule,
And not be a fool,
To fall out with your potatoes and pork.
It is just my aelvicti.
To keen still as mice:
Da the best that you can.and then I think
Yeu will find you are wrong,
When your money is all gone,
The railroad can "live if you sink.
