Dr. Fritz Lange of Munich seems to
have demonstrated tTie fact that "care

reach, and digestion was seen to stop.
The Chicago Tribune, citing the demon
stration, says: The Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to An'mals may cry
out on behalf of the cat, or the mouse,
or both, but the lesson against worrying
is as complete as any Christian Scien
tist could desire. Worrying stops di
gestion, causes dyspepsia, retards all L
the normal physical processes and de
moralizes both body and mind. It
wastes the forces of life, destroying the
tissues without accomplishing anything.

thing over $5. We think we can make
$15 or $20 per day this summer, and we
can't work out more than one-eighth
part of our ground by ourselves. Tell
Bud and Conrad that if here were
grub enough to last them this summer,
we would give them $10 per day for ev
ery day they worked. We expect to
hire five or six men and that is what we
will have to pay them per day, or $1 an
hour."

Satmraay s Picnic
The Union Pacific Pioneer Association
picnicers came np from Omaha Satur
day to hold their annual picnic arriving
on a special train of twelve coaches
about eleven o'clock. There were 750
people, members of the association and
their families.
A large reception committee headed by
Mayor Fitzpatrick, met the crowd at
the depot and led by the Seventh Ward
band of Omaha, the crowd marched
over to the Park, where Mayor Fitzpat
rick in a few words heartily welcomed
the picnicers to Columbus. J. A. Lillie,
the president of the association (and by
the way, Mr. Lillie has been their presi
dent eight years), returned the welcome
in an excellent talk, part of which we
quote:
"This reception, Mr. Mayor, is ex
tremely gratifying to us; here in Colum
bus we find today the streams of kind
ness running bank full and hospitality
overflowing; on every street, at every
house, in every heart, and I assure you
it is not only the men and women and
children of Columbus we have learned
to love, but every blade of grass, every
tree and plant and shrub and Mower in
this park has become endeared to us,
and if you will allow me to repeat what
1 said on another occasion, I will eay to
you, city fathers, care well for this
beautiful park. May the summer sun
shine soft on its leafy boughs; may the
red leaves or autumn rail lightly on
the ground and the wintry storms beat
gently on its naked limbs. And now, in
conclusion, I want to assure the good
people or Uolumbus we will take with
us to Omaha deep and lasting memor
ies of all that is good and noble in men
and all that is pure and sweet and ten
der in women, memories entwined upon
our affections, that we will guard and
cherish until our return."
After a reminiscent talk on the early
days of the Union Pacific by Judge
Hudson, the crowd scattered to eat
their lunches and have a general good
time. The heavy rain from one o'clock
until, half past three, spoiled a good
deal of the pleasure as athletic sports
and dancing had been arranged for, but
they good-naturedly went into halls and
stores until after the rain, when the
sun came out bright and clear.
At seven o'clock the train was again
crowded by the excursionists with
several hundred Columbus people pres
ent to see them off amid cheering.
The U. P. Pioneer association has
been organized for a long time. Its ob
ject is to keep a history of important
and interesting incidents in connection
with their workmen, and of late years
photographs sre filed away the same as
important papers. This is the third
year the association have voted to come
to Columbus, the last time being in 9C.
The World-Herald in a column write-up
of the occasion said:
"Columbus doesn't do a thing if it
does it by halves; on the contrary, it
entertains its guests with a largeness
and overgrown heartiness. That's what
the Union Pacific Pioneer association
thought Saturday at its customary an
nual picnic. After going to that city
750 strong the association pioneers re
ceived a hearty, whole-souled, old
fashioned welcome that made their
hearts fill with joy. Columbus gave an
ideal boar and a beautiful shady park
for lunch, and then Columbus just
simply outdid "herself by giving the
visitors the hardest rainstorm of the
year, if the opening of the flood gates of
heaven for two solid hours may be
called a rain. And then when it came
time to return to Omaha 500 Columbus
citizens bade Godspeed to the departing
guests with merry good byes and invi
tations to call again."
