mil , VT/MJNAIV MOIIAAV csu'nt.iArnt.M ) n WAGE EARNERS WERE NEVER MORE PROSPEROUS IN LIVES. WORKING MEN WANT NO CHANGE In Speaking of the Eight-Hour Law , Advocated by Mr. Bryan , and Which Is Therefore Being Talked of , Work men Point Out Its Flaws. fFrom Monday's Dally. ] "Tills IB Labor day , " siiitl n promi nent Norfolk contractor , "and tlio laboring mnn lias just cause for cele bration. Conditions for the laboring man In this country word never better than they are today. If these condi tions will only continue for a few more years , without a change , the laboring mnn who Is thrifty may linyo a bank account of his own.Vo want no change. " In sneaking of the eight-hour law , as advocated by Mr. Uryan , he said : "I have asked a good many laboring men working for mo at one time and another , whether they preferred an eight-hour day or not. They would all bo willing , of course , provided the eight hours of work meant ten hours of pay. But they all realize that they can't get something for nothing in this world , and that eventually eight hours of work must bring less pay either a less number of dollars or a lesa pur chasing power In the same number of dollars than ten hours of work. And there Isn't one man in fifty who would not rather work ten hours a day and get more pay , than to be prohibited from working more' than eight hours a day. " It Is pointed out by some of those who take exception to Mr. Bryan's sweeping declaration , that his pro posed law would put farmers out of business. "To prohibit a farm hand from working more than eight hours a day , ' said one man , "would be to stop work on the farms altogether. And a law to be universal must be universal. " "Labor day this year finds the wage earners enjoying an unprecedented de gree of prosperity , " said another workIng - Ing man , "and we want no change In conditions. All we want Is that pros- sent prosperous times be let alone and allowed to continue. ' How the Day Is Celebrated There has not been much of a pub lic celebration of Labor day In Nor folk. The banks have been enjoying a legal holiday , the postomco observed Sunday hours and the schools have remained closed for one day more , opening tomorrow. MONDAY MENTION. J.

There was considerable local In terest hero in Norfolk over the Guns- Nelson light last night and a crowd surrounded the bulletins that were re ceived in the Buffet. Interest was In creased when the light kept going for so ninny more rounds than hud been anticipated. Nelson was the general fiuorltc here and It was thought that he would win because Cans had lost some strength by training down to weight. The decision on a foul did not bring much satisfaction to the local light fans , because It was lack ing In a clear cut victory. People living on Madison avenue between Third and Fifth streets , or south of Madison avenue on Third and Fourth streets , are today experi encing considerable Inconvenience be cause of a lack of city water , due to repairs which had to be made. The water will bo turned on again tonight. The theatrical season opened for the year In the Norfolk Auditorium last night with the William II. West minstrels , and the first night proved a success in every way. The theatre was crowded with people who had not seen a show for several months , through the hot summer , and they were delighted with the minstrel pro duction. The company Is clever and kept the audience laughing from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Among the more popular of the now songs which were sung were , "A Silver Thread Among the Gold , " by William Renaud , who has a beautiful soprano voice seldom owned by a man ; "Preacher and the Bear , " by Billy Graham ; " "Waiting at the Church , " and "He's an Indian , " by George Van. The company was nicely costumed , the music was all catchy and clever and many of the jokes were now and rich. It was by far the best minstrel show ever seen In Norfolk and , if the Auditorium management will continue to put on shows of equal quality , the theater will undoubtedly receive a generous .patronage all through the coming year. Leigh World : Another party of sur veyors are now engaged In making a branch to bo built by the Union Paci fic from Fremont to Tarnov , and which crosses Colfax county striking the east line of the county near the junction of the two Maple creeks , going In a northwestern direction and entering Platte county at a point about five miles southwest of the town of Leigh. It Is supposed that the re-survey will settle the exact location of the road , and the men making it were , last Fri day and Saturday , working In the neighborhood of the Dodgc-Colfax county line. There seems to be little doubt about the line being built and as soon as the re-survey is made we expect to see steps taken to purchase the right-of-way , and as we said some weeks ago , It would not surprise us to see work on Its construction com- nience this fall. Wo shall try and keep posted on the progress made and report to our readers from time to time. The building of the new road will ho a great thing for the farmers of the central part of the county who are far from town. Not alone will It give them a closer market , but It will add much to the value of tholr lands. It will take some trade from the other towns of the country , but in the end will he for the good of a large number of our people , and those who may be Injured by Its building should look upon It In that light. It will bo a pay- Ing proposition for the Union Pacific as It passes through some of the best farm sections of the state , BURL REED BROKE HIS HIP.

Randall of Newman Grove , Madison County's Candidate , Was Given the Plncc on the Ticket Without - out Opposition. [ From Monday's Dally. ] Charles A. uaim.m . . . Xowman Grove was nominated for state senator - ator of the lOlevonth Honatorlal din- trlct by the republican convention hold In Norfolk today. The convention was held In the city hall at 11.10 : , nnd was culled to order by A. K. Davis , chairman of the cen tral committee. On motion , J. J. Williams of Wayne wns1 made tem porary , chairman and W. A. Wlt/.lg- man , , of Norfolk temporary Hocrotnry. A comltlee on credentials consisting of W. II. Wldiunnn , 11. Halderson and Chns. lU'heo was appointed , who re ported the fololwlng named entitled lo seals lu the convention : Madison county W. H. Widamnn , Chas. Hartford. 11. W. Jonas , A. L. Parlor. Christ Schmltt. C. A. Smith , Chris. Scliavliuid , Morris Gross , Jus. Clark , F. H. L. Willis. Pierce J. K. Smith , W. L. Mote , P. D. Coryoll , L. P. Tonner , Schiiylor Durfeo , Fred Brando , H. M.

Northiop , J. .1. Williams , O. C. Lewi. ; . After the- report of the committee on credentials had b-'on accepted , a i-ol.'on ' was made that the temporal y ( nuiiilxntlon be made permanent , but Mr. Williams stated 1'iu it would bo for him to sisrvo as belied \ ' . ' -lied to leave on an earlv train and it would bo necessar/ for him to start ! nr the depot at once. W II.Mla - inan was then o'ected ' for pornmiiont chairman , and W. A. Wlt/.igman , sec- rotary. II. Halserson offered a series of resolutions which contained a clause' condemning the practice of trading in conventions , which was taken to bo aimed at J. A. Williams of Pierce , republican - publican candidate for railway com missioner on the state ticket. This aroused decided opposition and con- sidornblo heated discussion , during which Mr. Williams , who was In the room , was called upon and ho said j that ho lias nothing to cover up. "Any statement that I traded the Pierce county delegation to anyone or for anybody , Is an absolute falsehood. I did not trade n solid vote. The dele gation did not come down for me. When they came to Lincoln they did not know I was a candidate. The dele gation was nominally Instructed for Rosewater and we voted for him for five ballots. Then It was concluded that Mr. Rosewater could not make It , and each delegate voted his Individual preference , and as chairman I an nounced the ballot four for Brown and thee for Rosewator. There was no trade or sell out of any kind. ' Mr. Northrop moved that the ob jectionable clause be stricken out of the resolution. Halderson , the Intro ducer , objected. Finally the ayes and nays were called and the chair was undecided as to the result. Then a rising vote was demanded and this resulted in a tie , six votes for and six against. A demand was made that the chair cast the deciding vote , and some one suggested that a roll call of counties be made. The chair decided that this wns the correct way out of the diffi culty , and on call of counties there were thirty votes to eliminate the clause and four to retain it , the four being all from Madison county. Then the resolutions were adopted as amended , rending as follows : "We , the republicans of the Eleventh senatorial district of Nebraska , In convention assembled , address our selves to the Intelligence and con science of American citizens in the following declaration of principles : "We endorse and approve the fear less and patriotic administration of our Illustrious president , Theodore Iloosevclt. "Wo favor a law prohibiting the ac ceptance and distribution , of free trans portation. "We demand that the next legisla ture enact n direct primary law. "We favor an amendment to the constitution providing for an elective railroad commission , and a law which will give full and adequate power to wild commission to llx , regulnto and control freight and passenger rates within this state. "In a free country the incumbents to public olllces are the criterion of in telligence and moral standard , and live' demand that high minded and able men bo elected to state and fodreal olllces. " Call of counties for candidates for state senator failed to bring out any names except that of Charles A. Rran- dull of Madison county. Motion prevailed that the rules bolo suspended and Mr. Randall be de clared the nominee by acclamation. This wns enthusiastically carried. Mr. Randall was called for nnd In n short address ho neatly thanked the cohventlon for the manner In which the nomination has come to him. Com ing without effort on his port , the speaker considered It a great honor. Ten years ago Mr. Randall was placed In nomination for this ofllco In face of a great tide of populism which was ( lion sweeping over the country , and ho wont down with the tide , but now a nomination by the republican party i iloos not moan probable defeat IIH before - | fore but almost certain election. If elected , the speaker promised that ho would vote for mifh mcnmircs an ho dooms for the best IntoroHtH of the state at largo , and before voting ho sultl ho would consult and nook nil- vice from his coiiHtltutonls. Mollou fnrrlod thtt the nominee bo allowed to select chairman and Hocro- tnry of the senatorial central com mittee. Mr. Handall named W. 11. mlW Wldamnii ! as chairman and W. A.

Representative of the Government Was In Norfolk a Day. There was no joke about the rumor that a representative of the interstate commerce commission was In Norfolk a day or two ago , looking up records In connection with the freight depart ment of the Northwestern railroad.
