The strike was caused by the refusal by packers to submit to continue wage scale of 18 cents an hour for unskilled laborers and maintain closed shop. These terms were met one week after the strike was called , but , because of alleged discrimination in taking back old employees , the second strike was called. Since that time the state board and various boards of arbi tration , the mayor , committees of merchants and other influences have failed to bring about a settle ment. World-Herald. An Able Candidate , Here is what Editor Henry Huckins of the Kebraska Blizzard has to say in part , regarding the characterability and sterling worth of George TT. Berge , fusion nomi nee for governor : "The editor of the Blizzard has had a personal acquaintance with Mr. Berge , the fusion nominee for governor , since 1895. In these years I have had opportunity and occasion to know the 'inwardness' of the man and know him to be what he is on the surface , a man of unblemished integrity and un swerving rectitude ; a scholar and a thinker , polished and refined , a man who scans the signs of the times and notes the trend of the people toward higher and better things ; a man of the people and will fight for them. His person ality is charming , and his manner affable without being fulsome. He is a lawyer of ability , and a speak er of great force and convincing logic. He is a native of Illinois. He was born near Peoria on July 31 , 1S64 , and was reared on a farm. Mr. Berge attended the state nor mal atValpraiso , Ind. , and Dixon , 111. He graduated from the latter in 1887 in the scientific and liter ary department. Mr. Berge was admitted to the bar in 1890 and immediately cacne to Lincoln. Here he hung out his shingle and remained ever since. Mr. Berge espoused the cause of populism when the party first came into existence and has all along been a faithful advocate of those princi ples. ples.He He received the nomination for congress in the First district in 1900 and received the largest vote cast for any fusion candidate , run ning ahead of Mr. Bryan. As an evidence of how popular George W. Berge is in his home county , Lancaster , the hot bed of republicanism , in 1S93 , wlion it W.T unpopular and almost disgraceful to be a populist , in the poor old Journal's hops-in-the-parlor era , Mr. Berge ran for eounty judge of Lancaster county on the popu list ticket in a four-cornered fight and was elected. Mr. Berge can get more votes in Lancaster coun ty than any other man in it , be cause he is clean , broadminded , able and a friend to humanity in general. He does not belong to the church simply to give him a standing in the community that his personal character would nol give him without the church as a pro ] ) . He belongs to the church because he believes-init. He lives a consistent life is not a Christian on Sunday and engaged in robbing his fellow men every other da.y in the week. He is always the same , consistent , upright gentleman , without a blemish on him morally , socially , or in his business or pro fessional life. Regarding the prohibition buga- 300 which some republicans have jeen trying to spri'ig on Mr. Berge ; he Lincoln Journal , the republi can authority for this state , says : , Thc enemies of George Berge ire already out with statement that ic once ran for county attorney m the prohibition ticket. The ecords will show that , once upon L time when he was absent from he city , the prohibitionists did ake advantage of him and nomi- tate him for that office , but when ie found out what they had done ic 'hollered' for help and they let iim go. While a consistent ad- ocate of water a * a beverage $ Berge has never been politically identified with the prohibition party , nor an exhorter for sumpt uary legislation. Though opposec to fusion let us stick to facts anc make the campaign a clear reput able battle for undying principles. ' One thing is certain , if the peo ple conclude that they want Mr. Berge at the head of their state government for the next two years they are placing it in good and safe hands and more : for the first time in the history of our state the executive chair will be occupied by a scholarly gentleman. " All competent political judges conceded that Nebraska is safely republican by from thirty to fifty thousand majority. It is so one sided as to fail to arouse any great amount of interest in a contest. Valentine Republican. Then why is it that "Uncle Joe" Cannon , Opie Heed , Senator Fair banks , Franklin TV.

Yesterday evening the Editor and wife and Lawrence drove down to the Henry Flineaux farm , form erly owned by John Ferstel. It was two years ago we saw John's farm and orchard but the trees have grown and are now loaded with fruit. Mr. Flineaux bought the farm last spring and his father and mother and sister are now liv ing on the farm. John bought the fruit and will have several hundred bushels of a fine quality.

Misses Ada Kimbell and Myrtle Jones went down to Ainsworth to attend the carnival. They were accompanied home by Miss Mat- tie Kimball to attend the Eagle ball Friday. The carnival company which stopped in our city last Thursday to Saturday night was composed of grafters and fakes principally. Our town board allowed thm to come into our town , onto the Main stree.t and blockade the street as no other show or company has ever been allowed to do before , and faked the people out of dimes and quarters for a pretended show of merit. Under the guise of a car nival this troupe of fakirs were al lowed in our city three days with gambling devices , such as paddle wheels or knife spindles and mon ey for your knife , throwing rings to lodge over money , knife rack to throw rings for , a cane rack and three balls for a nicide to throw at Happy Hooligan for a cigar if you hit him. Gambling in the open streets to entice the boys , the worst kind and by strang ers mostly who take what they win with them , and all this per mitted'by the town board for the paltry sum of $25.00. Our people expecting a carnival , were faked out of their money by nasty per formances , a broken , patched up moving picture show , a merry-go- round , a ferris wheel , and "but one tent on the street worth while going into. A few fellows wore selling confetti , cheap jewelry and ornaments. It was not beneficial to the town in any way , unless , it be as a lesson to her citizens that the town board would visit any kind of an affliction upon them , from a band of robbers to a block ade of business streets , for the pal try sum of § 25.00 as a make believe license and passes for the town board. They'd sell your birth right for a mess of pottage and then call Webb Hilsinger to stop the play if their passes were not good for all their friends. This , all this , done by members of the town board who have some stand ing. No fakirs should be allowed on our streets for any price , nor should a carnival company be al lowed these privileges for a pit tance without a sufficient guaran tee of extensive advertising that would bring people to the town who would otherwise seldom or never come. Our town people and a few others from the country close in are several hundred dol lars the worse for the carnival with no benefit derived , excepting , as Barnutn said , "the American peo ple like to be humbugged.
