LABOR TEMPLE DIRECTORS. NO-HIT, NO-RUN GAMES ON RECORD CY YOUNG LEADS HONOR LIST WITH THREE WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES. WILTSE BREAKS INTO CLASS Correct a Misunderstanding As to Their Business. Representative. The directors of the Labor Temple Buildnig association met at the Com mercial club rooms in the Fraternity tuilding last Monday evening, and managed to straighten out a li'ttla snarl that at one time threatened to become, a serious tangle. It was in connection with the employment of a business . representative. The unions had been asked to pledge a certain amount weekly to pr.ovide the fund lor paying the business representa tive, and some thought that this money was to be represented by stock issued, while others thought it was to be a donation. After arguing the Uiestion for a while it was finally flecided to fssue stock in return for cl! money subscribed. It was decided to ask the Labo Day committee to provide some sort of a celebration that would result in an addition to the temple fund; and a committee was appointed for the purpose of bringing the matter before the attention of the committee. Chairman Dickson has not yet as sumed the full duties of business rep resentative, but is giving a portion of hi3 time to the work. He expects tc devote hi3 whole time to it be ginning August 1. New York Giant Southpaw Twirler Pitches Ten Innings Without Al- lowing a Safe Bingle Record of No-Hit, No-Run Games In . Major League History. George Wiltse, the tall New York Giant southpaw pitcher, broke into the no-hit class of pitchers the other day when the pitched a ten-inning, no-hit, no-run game against the Philadelphia Nationals. This is the second hitless game of the season, and the fact that t went ten innings is a record in it self for major league performances. During his career as a professional baseball player, Denton M. (Cy) Young has pitched three no-hit games, and the title of "Grand Old Man of Baseball" is rightfully his. Consider ing the fact that Young's career in MR. JULIAN TRANSFERRED. Western Newspaper Union Manager Will Go to Oklahoma City. E. W.

The ap ptintment of Mr. Julian to the man agement of this important branch is a high tribute to his ability, but dt served one.

George Foxworthy, who has been a traveling representative of the West ern Newspaper Union, has been named as Mr. Julian's successor, and this fact pleases not only the patrons of the Lincoln branch, but is a source of - rejoicing to a big bunch of old time union printers who remember "Foxy" as one of the best in the o'd days. Mr. Foxworthy has been with this concern a long time, and he brings to his new duties a ripe ex I rlence that will insure success. ARMSTRONG'S BIG DEAL. Becomes Owner of the Sterling Cloth ing Company Stock. One of the biggest commercial transactions in Lincoln's history was pulled off the other day when th Armstrong Clothing company bought iht stock, good will, fixtures and lease of the Sterling Clothing com t.any. The transaction involved a matter of 'something like $75,000, and it insures the Armstrong Clothing company of a fine business site in the event that Miller & Paine ask for possession of the present Arm strong site at the expiration of the icase. As soon as possible the Sterl ing stock will be transferred to the A SUIT or OVERCOAT Undo to Order For r1 No More No Less From Sheops Back to Your Back ISSUED DY AUTHORITY OF war MP SClSTCaED World's Groatost Tailors 145 South 13th Street LINCOLN NEBRASKA Armstrong store and then look out. The quarters now occupied by the Sterling company will be fitted up for rent. The growth of the Armstrong Clothing company has been rapid but warranted. A. H. Armstrong, presi dent and manager of the company, came to Lincoln about thirteen years ego and entered the employ of Brown ing, King & Co. His capital conf sisted of $48 in money, a head full of business ideas and an unlimited amount of industry and determination. When Browning, King & Co. decided to quit Lincoln Mr. Armstrong man aged to swing a deal whereby he be came proprietor. . He organized a a company and buckled down to the work of building ud a clothing trade v:hat would be worth while. How well he has succeeded is known by all men in Nebraska. He has built up a business second to none other be tween Chicago and Denver. "BRYAN THE MAN." A Book by Lincoln Writers That is Well Worth Read'rj;. There have been biographies of Bryan almost without number, but the best "Bryan book" that has 'come to the notice of this newspaper is ;he one . written by A. L. Gale and George Kline of the Star staff and published under the title, "Biyan tfc Man." The introductory sets .forth the tact that the book is written by men who belong to the opposition party, but who entertain only the highest regard for the distinguished citizen of whom they write. There is no ful faome flattery, no attempt to picture Mr. Bryan as immaculate, infallible or wholly without faults. It is a charming story that runs along in narrative form, - and deals with the many-sided nature of Mr. Bryan in a wav that holds the interest of thf reader from the very start. It is bet ter than the biographies written by 1 artisan friends because it doss not "slop over." Every admirer of Lincoln's dis- tingufshed citizen ought by all means to aJd "Bryan the Man" to his li brary. It will repay a careful reading and it will be a source of delight during many hours. Mr. Gale and Mr. Kline have honored themselves by their splendid little book, and here's hoping that they will have to print many an edition. The price of the book is one dollar, and it may be purchased at any book store, or of the authors. THE CI GAR MAKERS. Big Strike Pulled Off in Fremont the First of the Week. Fremont, Neb., July. 22. About twenty union cigarmakers at H. G. Breitenfeld's shop are out on a strike, The strikers contend that they have riot been receiving unon prices for making a certain kind of cigar. Mr. Frietenfeld claims that he has always laid strictly union prices for all work. He offered . to cease ' making CARPENTERS IN POLITICS. Ask Support for Dickson for Senate and Urges Co-operation. After carefully reviewing (he polit ical situation the Carpenters' Union has decided that it would be wisest to center organized labor's support upon one candidate for the legisla ture. Having thus decided, they have selected J. W. Dickson as the proper man, and will ask organized labor to back him for the senate. But if a majority of unionists think that some ether plan should be tried the car penters will fall in line. The delegates of the local were in structed to outline the plan of the local to the Central Labor Union and seek to have it adopted. The matter will be brought up at the meeting of the central body next Tuesday evening. THE PLUMBERS. Breezy Bits of News About the Bunch of Busy Boys. H. J. Pickard went to Grand Island Tuesday, where he will work for the next three or four weeks. Ed. English was in Milford Wed nesday, looking over and estimating a job on the Soldiers' Home. The Plumbers' Union of Toronto fcas reached an agreement with the now Association of Master Plumbers and Fitters, and decided to end the long strike, which has lasted fifty-one weeks. The men are 'receiving 37 cents an hour. They went put for 40 cents an hour for the first year and 45 cents an hour for the second year. The struggle cost the union $75,000 About 700 were out. TO TEST BOYCOTT LAW. The labor associations ' of Denver, Colo., have decided to test the anti boycott law of that state. The par ticular feature of the law that is to be tested is that section which de clares that it is unlawful to prin ana circulate a statement that any individual or corporation is unfair to labor. The test will be invited by the publication and distribution of circular giving the names of all laundries in Denver that have been proclaimed by labor bodies as unfair to organized labor.

Lewis, Prop. major league baseball covers a period of 19 years it is all the more wonder ful and speaks well for the staying qualities for the Boston Red Sox twirler. His recent no-hit, no-run game against the Highlanders shows ' that Young is still in the height of his career and all the talk about his going back is purely Invention. But 27 New York batsmen faced Young. He allowed one base on balls, but the man who drew it was thrown out attempting to steal. Young had but three strikeouts' to his credit, but his control was perfect, and the High landers, although able to hit the ball, were unable to land safely. It was by only the narrowest sort of a margin that Young missed equaling his wonderful' record made August 5, 1904, when, against the Phil adelphia Athletics, be did not allow i man to reach first base. This record, shared by John M Ward, who in 1880, when he was pitching for Providence, performed the same feat on the Buf falo team, is one 'of the most remark able records of major league base ball. When he was pitching against the Athletics Young was by no means a youngster in big league company, as every one knows. He was then in his fifteenth year of major league ball. This season he is completing his nine teenth. In 1897, when he was with Cleve land, he shut out the Cincinnati team without a hit or a run and in 1904 his record performance made the second in the string. No-hit, no-run. games bave, been fairly numerous in major league baseball. The list of pitchers who have performed in such contests since 1879 reads like an honor list of the great firing line artists of history. Needless to say, Cy's record is one of the brightest. His game against the Athletics was pitched in Boston. The no-hit, no-run games In major league baseball up to this year have been as follows: -v 1879 Richmond (Worcester) vs. Cleve land. issn rviirnran (Chicasro) vs. Boston Galvln (Buffalo) vs. Worcester; Ward (Providence) vs. Buffalo. 1882 Corcoran (Chicago) vs. Worcester. 1883 Radbourne (Providence) vs. Cleve land; Daly (Cleveland) vs. Philadel phia.

IN THE LITERARY WORLD. One of the really important events of the literary world this season was the appearance of Winston Churchill's! new novel "Mr. Crewe's Career."! In this work Mr. Churchill has more than sustained his previous . well-' earned reputation. It is dedicated "To the men who In every state of the union are engaged in the struggle for purer politics." From this it Is seen that the story deals with an In tensely interesting topic, and it is a vigorous, dramatic, entertaining re cital of a subject in which every per son Is concerned. The locale of the story makes It a natural sequel to "Conlston," although the time is the present That Thomas McKean, the young Philadelphia author, has made much progress in the world of letters in his second novel, "The -Master Influence," published this spring by the Lippin cotts, is evidenced by the many seri ous and appreciative reviews ac corded the hook. Its steady and In creasing sales show that the writer has already won a large following. Mr McKean is spending the summer abroad, engaged upon another novel. He says he has not gone to Europe entirely for material, however, as his own country is a rich enough field to furnish any number of interesting plots. A thrilling escape from New Or leans, of a party of three, followed by a series of - singular experiences among a tribe of Indians, make up the core of Randall Parrish's new ro mance, "Prisoners of Chance," Just published by A. C. McClurg Co. Around this are woven the mystery of the queen of the aborigines, a woman with sunlit hair who bends the savages to her slightest whim, the plotting and counterplottings in the French-Spanish city at the mouth of the Mississippi, the dangers and fight ing of the long journey up the river with an eager enemy close behind, the self-sacrifice and martyrdom of a missionary, and the common sense and presence of mind of an American pioneer of the most robust type. The result is a story filled with thrills and excitements, in Mr. Parish's most inventive vein. Impoliteness. A 'normous dog came in one day. And he and I commenced to play; And we had fun, and nice fun, too, Long as he 'haved as a dog should do. But when he got so awful rough I hollered that I'd had enough. But 'stead of stopping as he should, As anybody'd think he would, He knocked me down and tried to see If he could sit on all of me. (From Our Baby Book, by Fanny T. Cory.)
