as coming from the school children,
venturing the assertion that he need
not rail attention to his fondnesp
for school children After referring

took the more general turn.
Denounces Hard Roads Bill.
Galesburg, 111., May 10. -Congressman
George V. Prince of this district
announced his antagonism to hard
roads at the good roads convention,
and said that unless otherwise in
Mructed he should vote against such
a bill in congress. He declared the
farmers of this district are with him
its this stanl and was vigorously ap
plauded Other speakers were Col
onel V. H. Moore, president of the
national association; G V Cooley of
Minnesota. Colonel T. P Hlxey of Mis
souri and Martin Dodge of the agricul
tural department.
Omaha, May 10. It was decided to
change the route of the presidential
train and send it across the Missouri
river at Ulalr, Neb., twenty-five miles
north of Omaha. When the train
Reached Fremont it was turned over tc
the Northwestern road, which took
the train across the cutoff to Missouri
Valley, la., where the main line
branches off and runs direct to Chi
cago. Quite a large crowd had gath
ered at the Union station in this city
in the hope of securing u glimpse of
the president. Upon learning of the
change of route they waited for the
medal train, which arrived at 10:30,
highly decorated, and with the presi
dent's car missing.
The Northwestern sent a pilot train
out of Omaha at 9:30 p. m. to Mis
hourl Valley, la., where it met th
president's special and took It east.
The trip across Nebraska was a
most pleasant one for the president.
Several speechB. all brief, were deliv.
ered by the president from the rear
platform of his car.
Talks on Irrigation at North Platte.
The president spoke longest at
North Platte, where he said:
"Thta Is the third time in recent
years 1 have been In North Platte, and
It Is a peculiar pleasure to be with
you once again. This neighborhood is
one of the pioneer Bpots of the west in
irrigation. It was your good fortune
to lead In showing Just what could be
done by means of irrigation for the
prosperity of this country. Nothing
will count more In the next half cen
tury In building up the United States
than what is done In Irrigation. I am
particularly glad to see all of you
here, but especially the children. 1
heartily believe In you people, and 1
am glad that the stock is kept up.
Although 1 congratulate Nebraska on
many crops, the best crop of all is the
crop of citizens. What counts In any
nation more than anything in the end
is the average of the citizenship
Here, as everywhere else In the west
I 'see men who wear the button that
shows that they fought In the great
civil war. In the civil war the win
ning or losing of that fight depended
upon the average quality of the aver
age soldier. We saved the nation be
cause the average man was of the
right stamp. So It Is In civil life.
The one thing that we hnvo got to
have is the average man and the aver
age woman of the right type. And
you cannct have that if you do not
have the children taken care of and
trained up as they should be. So !
congratulate you of Nebraska upon
your Bchool system and your family
life as being the two things that
count most in training up the children
of the present to be the men and
women of the future. Success for any
community, and therefore success for
the nation, means success in having
the average family the kind of family
that it should be. We need material
prosperity. We must have that as
the foundation, but upon It we must
build the structure of a happy family
life In order to make the nation what
it should be. Two years ago I went
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I
have Just been a little while ago down
in Texas, as I had been previously in
Mulno and Oregon, and there Is one
thing that strikes me more than any
thing else in going through this won
derful country of ours, and that is
that fundamentally wherever you ad
dress a crowd of Amei leans, it is a
pretty decent crowd."
Train it on Time.
Despite the rain 5,000 people bad
gathered at the Union Pacific depot at
Grand Island to see and hear Presi
dent Roosevelt. The pilot train ar
vided at 0:10 and prorapty at the min
ute the presidential train pulled Into
the station. The president, smiling
and happy, was out upon the rear plat
form and lost no time in greeting the
Nebraskane gathered there, He had
already begun to address the throng
when Miss Anna Garniire and the
members of the high school graduat

MORE TEAMS MOVE IN CHICAGO.
Employers Teaming Company Success
fully Sends Out Wagons.
Chicago, May 10. The large de
partment stores and the express com
panies have resumed business on al
most a normal basis They sent their
wagons Into the extreme parts of ths
city, In some instances without police
protection, and transacted their busi
ness without Interruption or trouble
of a serious character. Sixteen hun
dred teams are at work and the num
ber will be increased. Notwithstand
Ing this apparent gain, however, there
are strong Indications that the strike
will spread within the next few days,
not only among the teamsters, but will
Involve other unions as well The
drivers of the Wenlg Teaming com
pany, a large concern chiefly engaged
in delivering (lour, went out when one
of their number was discharged foi
refusing to deliver Hour to a boycotted
house.
In some quarters It was feared that
the strike of the Wenlg company driv
ers would produce a shortage in the
supply of ilour, but the oflicers of the
company say that they have a supply
sufficient to last the city for a week
and that at the expiration of that time
they will be able to make deliveries
as before.
There were numerous clashes in
the streets between nonunion men and
the police and union teamsters, who
attempted to block the'passage of the
wagons of the Employers' Teaming
company There were also a number
ot attacks made on nonunion men by
workmen In buildings who pelted
them with all sorts of missiles from a
safe distance These fights were all
in the chaiacter of rear guard attack?
and bore no resemblance to the open
violence committed during last week
The taking of evidence relative tc
the granting of the injunctions issued
temporarily by the United States cir
cult court in favor of the employers
and the seven express companies com
menced before Master-ln-Chancery

The Suit Wiin In Jest, hut the Flnr
Wni In LtarncMt.
An Interesting verdict was rendered
in the district court of Travis county,
Tex., In 18.7T.
The defendant, Krtiuk H. Uiifer, tit
that time a well known citizen of Aus
tin, was accused of gambling, which
was not regit nletl us ti very serious of
fense in Texas lu those early days,
especially if the offender chunced to be
a prominent citizen.
The prosecution was generally treut
itl as a pleasant Jest, but was never
theless carried through in earnest, and
n Jury composed of lawyers brought !n
the following verdict:
Wo, the jury, lawful men,
Fine the defendant dollars ten;
A KUllty man beyond nil doubt.
Let the defendant pay himself out.
Thus we've said this freezing morn.
Your obedient servant, A. O. Home,
Foreman.
The composition of this verdict is at
tributed to A. V. Terrell, who at the
time of his service on the Jury was a
young lawyer. Afterward he uttaiued
great distinction lu practice, served us
a district court Judge and was United
States minister to Turkey under Presi
dent Cleveland.
Other members of the same Jury
who afterward achieved reuown were
Charles S. West, who rose to be n Jus
tice of the Texas supreme court, and
l' W. Chandler, who became one of
the leaders of the Texas bur. Law

Coventry Patmore's talk, as Mr.
Gosse describes It, was apt to be star
tling. Behold an example:
In the presence of a number of men
of letters Patmore mentioned tin ac
complished writer who was an Inti
mate friend of his. The conversation
passed to the lyrical poems of Herrlck,
whereupon Patmore. in his most posi
tive maimer, exclaimed, "By the side
of , Herrlck was nothing hut a
brilliant insect!" There was a univer
sal murmur of Indignant protest. Pnt
more pursed up his lips, blinked his
eyes nnd said nothing. The conversa
tion proceeded, and an oplulou of
Goethe's was presently quoted. Then
Patnioro lifted up his voice and cried,
"By the side of , Goethe was noth
ing but a brilliant insect!"
The Thin Hire" of the Chlneae.
The very lirst thing that a Chinaman
takes when he gets up in the morning
is a bowl of hot "congee," or, as he
cnlls It, "thin rice." Tills Is simply
rice boiled away to u thlnulsh drink
nbie consistency. If allowed to cool It
would thicken into paste. Some care
is required to make It properly. "If
the wuter la visible nud not the rice,"
says Yuan Mel, "that Is not sougee.
If the lice la visible and not the water,
Unit la uot congee either. Tho two
