Orada Jlns Aughhta Anton Kocordor Proclamation Arrangements have been made for the observance of Memorial day Saturday May 10 1903 It is well for us that one day in each year should be set apart to renew our memories of the services per formed by the dead heroes that wo may glorify their deeds celebrate their vic tory and commemorate their death For the proper recognition of this da suit able programs have been provided for morning and aftornoon of the day and it is requested that all places of busi ness bo closed from the hour of 10 oclock a m until 4 oclock p m that as many as may can repair to the places desig nated and assist in the ceremonies Dated this 21st day of May 1903 O E Eldred Mayor It has come to bo regarded as a proper caper to organize these days until organ ization is running to seed The ulti mate effect will bo the same as though no organization existod in some respects at least so far as labor is concerned Another point has been scored for the Postal Telegraph against the Western Union in the fight for right of way along the Pennsylvania lines It is possible wo may have competition in telegraph tolls yet but it is more probable that the two big telegraph companies after sparing for vantage will get together and let the public foot the bills Bee TJighkr education got it literally between the eyes in Lincoln the other day when the university lads indulged in their annual shirttail parade and attempted to invade the Eagles carnival tents without money and without price A squad of policemen and a number of deputies and specials were on hand to welcome the invaders and the scholastics got the hottest time recorded in modern university annuals The faculty may now proceed to remove the bumps and soreness by exonerating the scholarly toughs The dome of the capitol at Washing ton is being painted livery live years its coat is renewed and 15000 gallons of white lead are used in the process The work is being done by eighteen men un der the direction of Billy Lewis and Al Ports The latter has been em loyed for such work about the capitol for thirty nine years Ports is the only man who ever climbed to the top of the statue of liberty surmounting the dome He did this on Labor day 189i and fastened a garland of electric light bulbs around the neck of her majesty Organize a New Club at Lincoln The Lincoln club is the name of a new railway mens organization which re cently held its first meeting at the office of Mr Scott local freight agent for the Burlington There were in attendance at the meeting a number of men inter ested in the traffic and operating depart ments of the Burlington The first meet ing showed that the interests of the traffic men and the operating depart ment people of times clashed more or less and that a club where an understanding of the difficulties confronting both de partments may be had will be of benefit to all The subject discussed at the first meet ing that attracted the greatest interest was tonnage In this the operating department isinterested in handling long trains as cheaply as possible while the traffic departments are most interest ed in prompt service and trains that run on time The discussion of pro blems relating to this subject brought out many statements from the traffc officials that the operating departments were looking for and had prepared to answer while the operating men showed the traffic men the economy due to haul ing long trains and making slower time with their freights On this line it was suggested that business is oftentimes lost to the company by such moves for economy and that weak lines get traffic simply by offering shorter trains that can and do make better time The club men will hold occasional meetings at which subjects relating to railroad management and traffic getting will be taken up Tne idea is to improve the service of the road at the same time making it possible for the operating de partments to carry out their ideas of of economy without hurting the busi ness getting end G W Rhodes assistant superintend ent in charge of the motive power de partment was in the chair during the meeting Mr Rhodes has been the champion of railway mens clubs at which business matters relating to the management of the road are discussed since he came to Lincoln and his ideas have attracted the interest of many men employed by the Burlington Lincoln Journal Indigestion Causes CatarrK of the Stomach For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia but the truth is exactly the opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the Juices of natural digestion This is called Catarrh of the Stomach Kodol Dyspepsia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach protects the 1 nerves and

LIBRARY NOTES Idealism in philosophy is one thing in literature and thought it is another thing and in daily life it is the apex of an ascending series the base of which is agnosticism An agnostic is a man who bolieves nothing that he cannot abso lutely prove a practical man 19 one who believes anything that he can prove be yond a reasonable doubt a hopeful man is one who believes anything he cannot disprove and an idealist is one -who be lieves what ho knows is not true The therapeutic value of idealism long ago became so apparent that in the early part of the last century there sprang up in Germany a school of doctors whose only resources in the treatment of disease were an infinite amount of idealism and an infinitesimal amount of medicine They are called homeopaths So reflects the Lonely Man in a book filled with epigrams If one is himself sometimes given to reflection and who of us is not ho will find between the covers of this book thoughts that he himself has had truths whoso verity cannot be questioned It is a book for a winters evening and a grate fire A more appropriate environment can scarcely be imagined and books like all else have their times and places Do not however await the return of winter to read what the Lonely Man has to say lie can be read with as much enjoyment now as on another occasion The winters evening and the grate fire are suggestions for lovers of the fitness of things First and last nearly every topic of daily life is touched upon and in the manner the reader thinks he himself if he but had the skill would like to have done it It is a delightful book for a quiet hour almost as fresh and breezy one thinks as Holmes Autocrat per haps not so ambitious certainly not so long which in these hurried days were of itself a recommendation It may be the years that have intervened since the earlier book was read should militate against the value of this opinion but let anyone who considers the praise extrav agant read for himself the Reflections of a Lonely Man He will at least have expended his time to good advan tage The book is one that is well worth everyones attention CITY CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Baptist Regular services Evening

McConnell Francis to Go to Chicago John Francis general passenger ngent for the B M is according to reports that come from ordinarily reliable rail road sources to be made general passen ger agent of the Chicago Burlington Quincy system with headquarters at Chicago Mr Francis is in Denver and the matter is not being discussed at the B M headquarters but local railroad men outside of tho Burlington offices be lieve tho report to be true and look for tho change to take effect within a very short time possibly not later than July 1 Not only is this report accredited in Omaha but Chicago railroad men also give credence to it One Chicago official who was in Omaha on business a few days ago said I cannot tell definitely but all signs point to Mr Francis as the general pas senger agent of the Burlington at Chi cago That is the general supposition in the official circles in Chicago Tho Chicago Burlington Quincy is without a general passenger agent at present Since the acquisition of the road by James J Hill P S Eustis formerly general passenger agent has been promoted to the office of general traffic manager while Darius Miller formerly second viee p resident of the Great Northern was transferred from St Paul to Chicago and made general traffic manager of all the Hill lines This vacated the general passenger agency Since the abolition of the general ad vertising department of the B M in Omaha which under Mr Francis did a vast amount of work for the Chicago and St Louis offices railroad men have been anticipating some other important changes The rumor has been current for some time that Hillism would bo come so dominant on the B M as to have tho effect of doing away entirely with the general passenger agency here and creating a division passenger agency instead The report of Mr Francis transfer to Chicago tends to confirm this rumor and bear out the theory that Hill proposes to operate his new lines as far as possible from Chicago The recent transfer from Lincoln to Chicago of a large force of clerks is another evidence of this policy which has so distinctly characterized all of Mr Hills move ments as to have become known as Hillism In connection with the report that Mr Francis is to leave Omaha comes another report that negotiations are now on foot for the sale of his handsome Omaha residence John Francis is one of the best known and recognized as one of tho ablest rail road passenger men of the country His long service with the B M has brought him to the front as an alert ag gressive man and the remarkable strides which have been made since his incum bency have given warrant for the high standard that has been placed upon his work The position for which he is said to be slated is of course in the nature of a promotion Bee Demands Not Yet Granted The Burlington and its trainmen have not yet got together on the wage scale but trainmen are hopeful that all differ ences will be settled soon The train men will have a meeting with the offi cials of the company in Chicago on June 6 at which time some definite action is looked for It was thought that the set tlement with the trainmen on the Great Northern would effect the settlement with the men on the Burlington and that something like what the Great Northern men secured would be tender ed the employes of this read It is said that the provisions agreed upon in rela tion to double headers by the Great Northern and its trainmen would meet the approval of the Burlington men The engine builders may solve this double header question for us some day said a Lincoln trainman yesterday They are building engines now that will pull a train so long that it is difficult for a conductor to signal the engineer or for the engineer to see the flags of the caboose Then the problem will come up under another name and the sugges tion of a tonnage basis made by the Great Northern employes will receive more attention Lincoln Journal A Sure Thing It is said that nothing is sure except death
