..GILSON'S SORE THROAT CURE,
Good for Tonal litis.
Office of W. M. LINE, M. D.
Germantown, Neb., Feb. 8, 1904
I have had most excellent results
with Gllson'a Sore Throat Cure in dis
eases of the throat and mucous lin
ings. I find its application in tonsi
litis and cases where a false mem
brane exists in Urn throat, as in
diphtheria, to have an immediate ef
fect, loosening and removing the mem
brane, and thereby at once relieving
this distressing sensation of smother
1ng noted in these cases. My clinical
experience with Gilson's Sore Throat
Cure has proved to me its value and
can heartily recommend it to all as
safe and reliable preparation for the
disease it is recommended.

The trade union movement has
proved Itself to be the greatest institu
tion ever founded among men. It has
raised wages, reduced hours of labor,
taken the child from the mill and the
factory and sent it to school. It has
elevated the manhood and the woman
hood of the working people of the
world; it has raised the standard of
citizenship, sobriety and integrity of
the worklngmen of our country.

The Carpenters and Joiners
Two Initiations last meeting and
more applications under consideration.
Local 1055 is in need of a number
of good men. At present the lack of
men to fill the demand is our worst
grief.
Mr. S. J. Stern, of the United Gar
ment Workers, was a welcome visitor
at the early part of the meeting this
week.
Members are asked to take stock in
a strictly union planing mill at Boze
man, Mont. The boys out there are
putting up a stiff fight for a fair share
of the products of their labor under
conditions that make for manhood and
not slavery. This stock can be had
only by men carrying union cards,
will be issued at par value, no water,
and is non-assessable. Secretary
Chase has the particulars.
P. J. McGuire, one of the founders
of the United Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners, has passed away, and
his family are reported as being bone
too well off. The local made a little
donation to a fund for their relief. The
Some News About the Printers
Lincoln Typographical Union met
last Sunday and transacted a lot of
business in unusually short order. The
revised constitution and by-laws camo
lip for adoption and there was little
amendment and practically no discus
sion. The union is now confident that
it has a code that will stand the test.

He said he had a ticket to the show

Bro. C. E. Woodard has resigned his

Bro. Geo. F. Quick asked to be ex

Quick was at our own meeting.
The boys had quite a discussion
over the use of the word "scab" and
the sentiment seemed to be largely in
favor of a more restricted use of the
word, to be applied only to those fel
lows who are on record as being op
posed to belonging to the trades
unions, and stand ready at any time
to take the place of a union man who
has quit a job either because himself
or his fellow workmen were required
to work under conditions tending to

The union took cognizance of the pro
test of the Colorado Springs Woman's
Label league protest and adopted a
resolution demanding a rigid investi
gation of the charges by disinterested
parties. It was decided to observe the
last Sunday in May as "memorial
cay," in accordance with the custom
of the past two yeare, and W. M. Mau
pin, H. W. Smith and Fred Ihringer
appointed a committee to have charge.
President Coffey called attention to
the fact that the law required the ap
pointment of a label committee, there
fore he appointed F. W. Mickel, H. C.
Feate and H. W. Smith.
1 It was reported that Leon Huckins
a two-thirds member.is now confined
to a hospital by rheumatism, and by
unanimous vote it was decided to grant
him the usual relief.
The election of delegates and officers
for the epsuing year will be held at
Carpenters' Hall on Wednesday, May
16. The polls will be open from 12 m.
Soap
until 7 p. m., and as usual the Aus
tralian ballot will be used.
During April the Lincoln union for
warded to the international upwards
of $700 as its contribution to the eight
hour fund under the 10 per cent as
sessment. Had the "Tea-pot" boy3
been eavesdropping in the hope of
hearing a kick on the continuance of
the aforesaid 10 per cent assessment
they would have been bitterly disap
pointed. "We'll pay it as long as the
money is needed," was the universal
declaration.
A communication from the Painters'
Union relative to the employment of
an unfair house by a local union bar
bei shop proprietor was read and
placed pn file.
CAPITAL AUXILIARY.
Wednesday afternoon occurred the
election of international officers and
eclegate to the Colorado Springs con
vention. The election was held from
two till six, with Mrs. Turner. The
election board, composed of Mesdames
Smith, Bustard and Radebach, held an
ii. formal reception during the entire
afternoon.
President Norton was elected dele
gate and Mrs. Turner alternate. The
Auxiliary has chosen an able repre
sentative who will do credit to No. 11 .
Of the candidates for international
offces the following were the choice
of the Auxiliary:
President Mrs. Gilbert R. Jones of
Chicago.
Vice-Presidents Mrs. Carter, Colo
rado Springs; Mrs. McDougal, Toronto;
Mrs. Ogden, Cincinnati; Mrs. Olsen,
Minneapolis.
Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. McKee,
Indianapolis.
Chaplain Mr3. Craighead, Omaha.
Guide Mrs. Crowley, Pueblo.
Mrs. Jay Worley and son are visiting
for a few weeks at Plattsmouth, Mr.
Worley expects to spend a few days
with them there.
Mrs. Peate is the latest addition to
cur ranks. Her composure during the
initiation leads us to conclude that she
has ridden the goat before.
At the election Tuesday the ladies
had an opportunity to decide how they
liked the referendum method of voting.
It was not in favor with the majority,
and the probability is that an effort
will be made at the convention to
change the manner of election.
There is a general tendency towards
an increase in wage to our member
ship throughout the entire jurisdic
tion of the association. Not much re
sistance is being met with from the va
rious companies as against proposi
tions embracing a more favorable
wages cale. This would exhibit a con
fidence in enlivened prosperity. Mo
