Our credit system is original with us, and we have so many features connected with it that you are unable to find at cash stores. We trust you for anything you want and you pay us a little each week out of your salary or wages and it is never noticed. We are your friends in time of sickness and need and our wonderful chain of stores have been built up to the won derful success that they have attained through the liber ality of the system that is original with us. Our prices are just as low and sometimes lower than most so called cash stores, and a visit' to our store will convince you of the fact. Credit to all, none refused. We give S. & H. Green Trading Stamps, ask for them. RIDGLEY CREDIT CLOTHING CO. 1406 O Street. J. Q. BRILLHART, Mgr. convention to meet In Washington on August 8. D. Hillard, a Burlington employe at Havelock, has resigned his position in the shops. The International Seamans' Union of America has decided to establish a home for aged and indigent members. The Mineworkers' Union is the larg est in America. The Carpenters and Joiners come next and make a close second. New Orleans has ninteen labor1 or ganizations whose membership is made up exclusively of colored men. They number 11,000. Fulton Bros. Stock company at the Oliver every night except Sunday, and Wednesday and Saturday mati nees. Popular prices. Philadelphia paperhangers are ne gotiating for 50 cents an hour as a regular scale. Most of the union men are already receiving it. Washburne-Crosby flour is still on the "we do not patronize" list. Corn meal Is better than "scab" flour any day in the week and every day in the week.. Mrs. Louise V. Macklind, the first woman telegrapher, died at St. Louis last week. She' served as a telegrapher for the government during the civil war and was a member of the National Order of Military Telegraphers. Don't forget the Fourth of July pic nic of the Railway Trainmen at Sew ard on July Fourth. It will be a hum mer. The program is about completed and will provide attractions well worth going miles to see. Fred Northway, sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary at Jefferson City for alleged complicity in obstruct ing the streets during the St. Louis street car strike, has been granted a full pardon. He served four years of his term. An Omaha brewing firm is in trouble because it used a fac simile of the na tion's flag on its bottles. We've known men to drink beer until they saw stars, and some have even tackled it long enough to wear the stripes. - H. Wiggenjost, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Ottie, are visit ing Michigan arid Wisconsin points. Mr. Wiggenjost, who is prominent in B. L. E. affairs, is engineer at the court house. Skilled mechanics who rejoiced at an opportunity to acept government employment on the Panama canal are coming back home, and some of them had to write back for money to make the return trip. They advise their brethern to steer clear of Panama. CAPITAL AUXILIARY. Independent Workmen A movement is on foot to import monkeys to California to pick prunes, ' It being estimated that 500 Simians, well muzzled, can do the job more quickly and at less cost than can hu man labor, saj-B an exchange. This wll undoubtedly be hailed with delight by the Parryltes and boarding house keepers. At last a "free and independ ent" workman can be secured who will turn a deaf ear to the wiles of the walking delegate. Coopers' Journal. GENERAL MENTION Bits of Labor News Picked Up Local and Other Fields in The store of Miller & Paine closes at 6 o'clock every evening except Sat urday, when It closes at 7 o'clock. This ought to mean a whole lot to union people who are working for the shorter work day. Rogers & Perkins carry a large line of union made shoes. Walter Brown, foreman of the Freie Presse press rooms writes that he Is much benefited in health by his so journ in Hoosierdom. He expects to report for duty next week. Congressman Ellis, of the Fifth Mis souri district attended Kansa City Tjh pographical Union's eight-hour demon stration last week and came out with out equivocation in favor of the eight hour day. Kansas City Typographical Union voted almost unanimously against par ticipating in any Labor day parade this year. By referendum vote the Amalgama ted Sheet Metal Workers have called a The June Social a Success From the Start to the Finish. The June social of Capital Auxiliary No. 11 was held at Bohanon's hall Wednesday evening, and while the attendance was not as large as it should have been it was large enough to evidence a continued interest in the Auxiliary. A musical program of unusual excellence was rendered, opening with a piano and cornet duet by Fred W. Mickel and Clarence Mickel. Mf. Mickel officiated on the cornet and Master Clarence presided at the piano. Little Miss Dorothy Righter and Master Perry Barngro- ver greatly pleased the audience. Mas ter Perry singing while Miss Dorothy presided at the piano. Mr. Peters sang a couple of solos and Master Clarence Mickel rendered a piano solo. Fred Karcher and Don Thomas en tertained the audience for thirty min utes, Karcher playing the saxophone, bango and cello, while Thomas ac companied on a harp-guitar. These gentlemen have well earned reputa tions for musical ability and they added to it on this occasion. Many professional teams drawing big mon ey stack up beside Karcher and Thomas like three lead dimes by the side of a week's wages. Had they been influenced wholly by applause the chances are that they would have been playing yet. After the close of the show at the Oliver Mr. Jesse Fulton and Mr. Cas tlebury appeared, Mr. Fulton singing one of his best songs and Mr. Castle bury singing a rollicking song and winding up with a little jig step that greatly pleased all present. Mr. Jack Glines, manager of the Fulton Stock, company, made a great hit with a baton swinging act, showing himself to be an artist in that as well as in other lines. From start to finish the program was entertaining, and it had a lot of musical entertainment beaten both ways from the midle. Mr. Ful ton was '.urged to sing more, but could not ' respond, owing to limited time. Refreshments were served dur ing the eveuing, and dancing was in dulged in bys Jhose who so desired. Taken as a whole the social was one of the best, ever given by an organiza tion in the city. The thanks of the Auxiliary are due to the gentlemen who so kindly lent their services, and they will please consider this as offi cial notification thereof. NOTICE, All existing debts of . the Ross P. Curtice Co., on the First day of June, 1905, amount to the sum of Fourteen thousand, twenty -one dollai s and sixty cents. ($14,021.60.) 1 , ROSS P. CURTICE Co. Lincoln, Neb., GUARDED INDIFFERENCE May C , the six-year-old caughter of a Presbyterian clergyman in a small Georgia village, had a playmate, Jimmy by name, of whom it w is her custom to make a special mention in her evening prayer at her mother's knee. One evening after some child ish quarrel, Mrs. C noticed that the boy's name was omitted from the peti tion, and said, "Mary, aren't you go ing to pray for Jimmy tonight?" "No, mother; he's a mean, hateful boy, and I'm never going to pray for him any more." Her mother made no reply, not wishing to add fuel to the flame and decided to allow the youthful con science to work out the problem in its own way. Tn a few moments she fell upon her knees, and said, m a tone of guarded indifference: "God, you can bless Jimmy if you want to, but you needn't do it on my account."
