Here they labored together for
three years. All thai time Father

domestic prelate.
In li'OO Monsignor Tihen went
to I he Catholic university at
Washington, where he took
special courses.
Monsignor Tihen has long been
noted as an eloquent pulpit orator
and plat form speaker. He is in
demand on all extraordinary oc
casions, such as the dedication or
churches, labor day meetings,
etc., and under the auspices of a
lyeeurii bureau he toured a large
part of the United Stales, speak
ing on social, economic and
patriotic subjects. Part of the
territory thus covered will now be
subject lo his episcopal jurisdic
tion. All the proceeds except
actual expenses received from his
lecture tours were donated by
Monsignor Tihen to aid in the
construction or Wichita s new
cathedral. Today he is a poor
man.
The most noticeable side of
Monsignor Tihen's charactecr is
his unfailing kindness to the
clergy of the diocese. As soon as
his appoint menl was announced
at Wichita he was the recipient of
many tokens of esteem from the
clergy of the Kansas diocese. The
congratulations were mixed with
regrets at his leaving.

A MAGNIFICENT RECORD
FOR BURLINGTON ROAD
On Time Every Day From April 1
to July 18, One Hundred
Consecutive Days.
Fast Mail Train No. 1 5, leaving
Chicago at 9: HO p. in. daily, via
the Hurlington Route, arrived at
the transfer at Council HlulTs
exactly "on lime" every day from
April 1 to .Inly 18, inclusive
1(11) consecutive davs. The dis
tance from Chicago lo the trans
fer is 59 i miles, so that during,
that time this train ran 53,841')
miles, or more than twice the dis
tance around the world, without
even a minute's delay in arrival
at its terminal, notwithstanding
the fact that it was quite fre
quently held for mail at Chicago.
The Durlington's Fast Mail
Train No. 7, leaving Chicago at
2: 15 a. m., also carries mail and
the Chicago newspapers. Dur
nig the above-mentioned period
of 109 consecutive days, its de
part ure was also frequently de
layed, yet this train ran the same
distance (53,816 miles) and heal
its own schedule.
Doth trains have been in serv
ce for many years as the Hur
linglon has carried the trans-con
t menial mail tor twenty-seven
consecutive years, having met
every demand of the Post Olllcc
Department.
J he running or I rains on
schedule lime is one of the 111
obligations a railroad owes lo
its
patrons. Mich punctuality in
transportation is of tremendous
importance to the commercial, in
duslrial and social life of the
country thus served. It not only
rellccts the wonderful physical
condition of the Hurlington's
roadway ami equipment, but the
very high character of the entire
organization, as well.
Prof. Abbott's Mother.
The Fremont Herald, in speak
ing of Ihe death of Mrs. Abbott
of that city, says:
During the almost half century
in which Mrs. Abbot I resided in
Nebraska she was held in the
highest esteem by every one who
came to know her; a woman of
culture and refinement, and in her
more active years, deeply in
teresled in her-church work, she
held a position in the community
and in the affection of her friends
that marked her as an exceptional
character. When the family of
Thereon Nye moved to the present
beautiful property on Nye avenue,
the Abbotts bougnt the old Nye
home, which stood on Ihe present
site of the Y. M. C. A. building,
and it was there that Dr. and Mrs.
Abbott made for themselves a
reputation for genuine hospitality
and social leadership that outlived
lheir lime. For many years Mr9.
Abbott and her daughter have re
sided in the property adjacent to
the parish home of the Episcopal
church, lo which both have been
deeply and religiously devoted.

Havelock, July 20, 1911.
Through the columns of the
Journal I wish to thank the
friends who so kindly sent me a
copy of the Journal containing an
account of Ihe distress of the
Oeinger family in Omaha. We in
Havelock were unaware that they
were in distressed conditions, as
Ihey have an income large enough
to insure them against want, and
we are at a loss to understand
how such a report got started.
We can only say there Is no truth
in it. Mrs. fieinger is in very
poor health, and in no condition
to re interviewed by a reporter,
as was probably the case. We
are subscribers of the Journal,
but thank the sender, whoever It
was, for his or her kindness. Re
spectfully, Mrs. C. A. Rankin.

Lloyd, were passengers this

A CROWDED IlLf :
E
Services at the Christian Church
Proved a Most Worthy and
Interesting Entertainment.
From Sutimliiy's Ially.
Rev. Wilkinson lectured last
evening lo a crowded church.
Prior to the lecture, which was
illustrated with stereoplican
views, miss Daniels sang marcn-
ing Through Georgia," which
was illustrated with war scenes
ami marching troops and the like.
After this Rev. Wilkinson gave a
reading, "A Soldier's Letter,"
while Miss Daniels operated the
picture machine. The reading
was very pathetic and the pictures
helped the audience lo under
stand the production perfectly, as
the camp scenes and I ho scenes
before and after battle were all
vividly portrayed on the screen.
The lecture on "The Man Trap"
was also a vivid portrayal of the
pitfalls which the youth of our
land are constantly exposed. The
pictures connected with this
lecture were a revelation in them
selves, impressing on the minds
of the young auditors Ihe many
devious ways in which the youth
is lured to vice and crime. The
speaker sl art oil out with a small j
hoy, who was being offered a
cigarette, and with illustration
ami vehement word pictures con
demned Ihe altitude of some
thoughtless parents in not only
loleraling Ihe
smoking, but
vice of cigarette
(heniselves en -
couraging it in the youngest
members of Ihe family. A pic-
lure of a youth starling from Ihe
parental roof with his parents
standing at Ihe gale as he leaves,
and on another side of the path
sign boards were shown. On the
youth's right hand was the sign,
"Keep to the Right." On the oilier
side of the path was a piclure of
card table, a drunken gambler
and a lewd woman. Ihe speaker
invited the boys on Ihe front seal
to make a guess which way Ihe
boy would turn, and one boy
answered, "To the left." Hut the
next piclure showed the youth go
ing to the right and depicted his
honorable career, but later the
pictures leading lo the left were
shown, and they taught a lesson
every boy in Ihe town should have
seen and heard.
Intemperance in all ils forms
was lectured upon by Rev. Wilk
inson. ihe glutton, the opium
and other drug fiends, as well as
the rum fiend, were shown tip In
Jheir hideousness. At different
points in the lecture the speaker
received the applause of his audi
ence, and particularly when ho
staled that society had no right
lo make a double moral standard,
one for the young women and one
for the young men, and that the
moral delinquents, either male or
female, should stand on Ihe same
footing and be regarded alike by
respectable society. After the
lecture Ihe baptismal ordinance
was administered lo two persons.

A Gum ConUst.
From Siituiiluy'g tally.
A very pleasant alVair was held
at the home of Mrs. Allen Itee
son yesterday afternoon, when
several of her friends took it up
on themselves lo surprise her.
The principle entertainment was
derived from a "gum contest."
The object of Ihe game was to see
who could manufacture the best
elephant from a slick of gum.
Mrs. Thrasher proved to be the
most elllcient in gum modeling,
and consequently received many
congralulalions from her friends
on her "artistic temperament."
At f o'clock a delicious three
course luncheon was served, after
which the guests departed, having
spent a most delightful afternoon
with Mrs. Ueeson.

From Saturday'! lmlly.
A very pleasant surprise party
was given last evening at Ihe
home of Mrs. J, lladraha in honor
of her t hirty-sevenl li birthday an
niversary. Forty-tlve of her
friends arrived unexpectedly ami
announced lheir intention of re
maining for the evening.
The time was spent In social
conversation, games, music and
Ihe like. During the course of
, the evening delicious refresh-
linenls were served from the well-
j stocked baskets provided by the
"raiders." At a lale hour Ihe
guesls departed, wishing Mrs.
lladraha many happy returns of
the day. 8he received many
pretty gifts, which will aid her in
remembering Ihe pleasant affair.
Girls May Work at Night.
Telephone girls may work all
night and their employers cannot
be fined for violating the female
labor law of Nebraska. This is
Ihe decision of Deputy Attorney
Ciencrnl Ayres, given in answer lo
a question asked by Labor Com
missioner L. V. Ouye. Former
Labor Commissioner Will Maupin
prosecuted the keeper of a res
taurant in Omaha for employing
a girl after 10 o'clock at night,
and Judge Eslelle of Ihe district
court of Douglas county decided
that women or girls cannot be
employed from 10 p. m. to 0 a. m.
This decision appeared to strike
telephone compnnies, who em
ploy girls all night, but the
deputy attorney general has de
cided that Ihe female labor law
does not apply to telephone com
panies, because a telephone office
is not a manufacturing, a me
chanical or a mercantile eslab
lishmenl mentioned in the law.

HARDWARE MAN

They Are Each Fined $10 and
Costs and Committed to Jail
in Default of Payment.
From Saturday' Pally.
The sheriff relumed last night
with the men who got away with.
A. Finder's boat, and the two were
arraigned before Judge Archer
this morning and fined 910 and
costs each, which was about $27,
to be divided between Ihe convict
ed men. They gave their names
as Tom White of Omaha and W'iL
liam Lewis of Montana. They
slated lo the court I hat Ihey had
been in I'latlsmoufh for a few
days looking for work, and that
they had applied lo Mr. Haird for
a job, which Ihey could get
provided Ihey could And a place,
to board, which Ihey failed to
secure.
They ihen heard that there was
a lot of work al apple-picking on
Ihe oilier side of Ihe river, and
Ihey took (he boat lo cross over,
expecting lo tie il up on Ihe other
side. They got the sail up and
went over, but when they tried to
lake the sail in the boat would
lip, and they drifted further and
further down the river. Al Rock
port, Missouri, Ihey got into con
siderable I rouble, and one of the
men limped considerably, prob
ably from Ihe effects of the shot
In the leg.
In default of payment of the
fine assessed for breaking the
lock on the boat, and Ihe costs,
Ihe two men went lo jail, where
Ihey will languish until Ihe de
mands of Ihe law are satisfied.
A Little Worried.
I'eople who buy insurance have
a right lo feel a little worried
over what the future holds In
store for them, says Ihe Lincoln
News. The purchase of two local
fire insurance companies in the
last few weeks by big eastern
concerns is not a mere incident Ol
business, but is apparently part
of a general plan for a centraliza
tion of ownership of insurance
slock. There are now just two
orally owned slock fire insuur-
ance companies doing business la
Nebraska. There is but one left
in Kansas, two in Wisconsin, anfj
a similar shrinkage elsewhere.
Naturally one suspects that the
Intention is lo later put the screws
on as to rates, but Ihis does nol
neecssarily follow. The odd thiny
about rales in the past has been
that it was the local ocmpanies
that stood for higher charges,
while the rate-cullers were the
agents of the big eastern conv
panics. The home companies
were impelled to do this, as they
asserted, because their business
was largely done at home, whiU
the big fellows, who covered the-'
country, could cut rales in one or
more places, and recoup them
selves elsewhere.
For the New Bridge.
Four carloads of lumber ar
rived in the city today to be used
in the construction of the Platte
river bridge. The citizens are
glad to see Ihis enterprise pro
gressing so rapidly.
