HfORRIBLE FATALITY.
The most horrible fatality in Lin
coln's history occurred last Tuesday
evening when the two little sons of
Mr. and Mrs. Sapson, 835 North Four
teenth street, were burned to death.
The little lads, aged twelve and four
teen, were sleeping in a boyish play
house constructed under the back
porch of a neighbor. A lighted can
dle was not extinguished when the
lads went to sleep, and when it
burned down it ignited some material
and the flames were communicated to
the porch. Owing to the cramped
quarters the youngest boy could not
get out. The oldest boy managed to
get out, although badly burned, and
could have save'd himself had he not
made a heroic effort to save his lit
tle brother. The little fellow was
burned to a crisp under the blazing
porch, and Hy man, the older brother,
received fatal burns in endeavoring
to rescue him. The double funeral
was held at the family home Wednes
day evening.
WELL SATISFIED.
A few weeks ago W. P. Hogard
i'iled complaint against the Beatrice
Creamery Co., alleging short weight
in his supply of ice. The policy of
the company has always been to in
vestigate such complaints without de
lay and settle to the satisfaction of
the consumer. In this instance Mr.
Hogard moved a day or two after re
porting the short weight to the com
pany's office, and when the investi
gator went out to settle could not
find the complainant. Not until Mr.
Hogard had filed complaint with the
city attorney could the company lo
cate him. . Immediately thereafter
the company made an explanation en
tirely satisfactory to Mr. Hogard and
he expressed a desire to dismiss. This
the city attorney declined to do and
the case was continued a couple of
times. Thursday the case came on
for trial and Mr. Hogard refused to
prosecute, giving his reasons, which
were to the effect that he was satis
fied the company was doing its ut
most to give good service and leav
ing ' nothing undone to remove any
cause for complaint.
PROTEST FILED.
The Lincoln Commercial Club has
filed an emphatic protest against the
proposal to close the customs office
in this city. Statistics will be sub
mitted showing that the office here is
not only a convenience to a great
many people, but profitable to the
government. There are a number
of customs ofices where the receipts
for a year will not pay the collector's
salary for a month, but the Lincoln
office pays the government upwards
of $15,000 a year.
SILENT CONTEMPT.
Acting Mayor Leonhardt will neith
er veto nor sign the council resolu
tion ordering a lowering of the side
walks in front of the Leonhardt prop
erty on N street between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth. The acting mayor in
timates, that the resolution is merely
a bit of spite work on the part of, cer
tain councilmen who have been un
able to make the acting mayor bend
to their wishes.
LABOR DAY PLANS.
Program About Ready and Will Be
Announced Soon.
The committee having in charge
the arrangements for Labor Day in
Lincoln has almost completed ar
rangements. Announcement of ' the
full program will be made in a day
or two. It has been decided to omit
the usual parade and confine the
day's activities wholly to a picnic and
its attendant features. The picnic
will be held at Capital Beach, a
goodly percentage of the day's gate
receipts going to the Labor Temple
fund. The chief speaker of the day
has not yet been decided upon, but
several speakers have been secured.
Bishop Theine will be one of these.
An afternoon of sporting events that
will please all tastes is being ar
ranged. There will be a ball game,
athletic contests of all kinds for at
tractive prizes, rowing, swimming
and diving contests and other di
versions. All wage earners are cordially in
vited to take well filled lunch baskets
to the park, and spread a big picnic
supper. The married wage : earners
are asked to take along enough edi
bles so that all the unmarried wage
earners may have a good supply of
home made cooking. The intention
and desire is to make this part of the
day's program the best part. .
An investigation discloses: that
practically every city in the country
will dispense with a parade this year,
owing to the expense such a demon-"
stration involves. But big picnics
will be the rule, and an effort made
to cultivate more friendly social re
lations between the workers and
their families.
SLIGHTLY DIMINISHED
Will Maupin's Weekly has beei ap
pearing in "ensmalled" form for the '
last two or three weeks, owi&g to
various causes not necessary to ex
plain. This, however, is the last
week of the "ensmalled" size. Here
after it will consist of not less than
sixteen pages. Some improvements
in . mechanical equipment are con
templated and .when these are se
ured this newspaper will be the hand
somest weekly newspaper issued
from any Nebraska printery. Despite
the fact that for six months the sub
scription list has been pruned of all
deadwood until it is now the livest
kind of a list, it numbers upwards of
1,700 names, exclusive of exchanges;
We make the confident prediction
that before the beginning of 1912 Will
Maupin's Weekly will have upwards
of 3,500 bona fide subscribers. Our
basis for this claim is our belief that
intelligent Nebraskans will realize
what a good thing it is and act accordingly.
LABOR DAY EDITION.
The Labor Day edition of Will
Maupin's Weekly will be the hand
somest edition of any weekly news
paper ever printed in Nebraska. It
will have a handsome cover with an
original Labor Day poem written by
the editor, and not less than thirty
two pages of interesting matter, not
the least interesting of which will be
the advertisements of progressive
Lincoln merchants. ,
A HANDSOME BUILDING.
Work has progressed far enough on;
the new Chapin Bros., building at
Fourteenth and O to show that it is
going to be a credit to Lincoln's chief
business street. It will be three
stories in height. The Lincoln Gas &
Electric Light Co. will occupy the
corner, and the Nebraska School of
Business will occupy the second floor
and a part of the third.
