reported that hla visit was merely a pleas
ure trip.
Divisions, or lodges, were formed at four
places, W j more, , McCook. Alliance and
Sheridan. As the order has never given
up Its local division this makes five upon
the system west of the river. The Lincoln
ban upon the
strike of more than fifteen years ago, wai
rapidly gaining strength on the system.
Some of the officials at that Ume denied
this, while others admitted that they had
had oognliance of efforts made to reor
ganise the men.
The fsct la that now at least 90 per cent
of all the engineers on the railroad are
members of one or the other of these fire
divisions. It is estimated that between
SSO and ITS engineers are employed on the
Burlington west of the river. Of these
about 120 run out of Lincoln, sixty to seventy-five
out of Alliance, the same number
out of McCook, forty or forty-five out of
Wymore and about thirty-five out of Sher
idan. On one of the divisions practically
the entire corps of engineers have joined
the brotherhood.
This movement has been more of a spon
taneous one than Is usual with labor or-

sold by some dealer and to get him to
recommend dealers. This Mr. Thompson
believes Is an effort on the part of the
milk men to get him to lay himself liable
to a suit for damages.
Governor Mickey returned yesterday aft

Sumners and Otis are expected to be present.
In 1KM, but again the brotherhood was
checkmated. This last effort was a com
plete success, however. This arose from
the fact that the initiative was taken by
the men themselves.
There Is no question of wsges Involved,
and no thought or desire for revenge upon
the company for the defeat of 1SS3. Prao-
tlcally all of the railroads of the country
outside ef the Burlington are brotherhood
roads. If a Burlington engineer went off
on a pleasure trip he found no one to
fraternize with. They also found it diffi
cult to secure employment If they left the
' Burlington system. 1
It was this condition of affairs that
caused a movement for organisation, along
with the general wave of unionism that hat
engulfed the whole country..- The men
thought It would better their condition,
elevate their standing and be to the better
Interests of their employers. These are the
prime objects Insisted upon by the brother
hood. It makes contracts and respects
. there. It endorses a man's competency,
which Is. In effect, a guarantee that the
employer will find It more economical
and to hla Interest to employ a man who
has behind him the guarantee . of a great
labor organisation.
The movement did not escape the atten
tion of the mere sagacious and observing
officials. They have been doing their best
to stop It, and have tried In various ways
to prevent the men from Joining. Personal
expostulation has been largely used, and
tn several Instances It Is said that the real
reason behind the discharge of certain en
gineers was that they were too active In
brotherhood work. The officials Insisted
to the men ' that they much preferred to
treat with them personally and promised
that if they had any grievances they
would take them up themselves. The) men
believed, however, that If they had an or
ganisation behind them any grievance
would receive quicker and surer response
than If It ware simply an Individual In
stance.
Oalo Pleases Bryaa.
W, J. Bryan la very much pleased at the
work of the Ohio convention and that Tom
Johnson won out. "I am very glad that
the Kansas City platform was endorsed."
he said, "as well as the approval of Mr.
Johnson's Idea upon taxation. While I
took no part tn the matter as far as can
didates) were concerned, the triumph of
Mr. Johnson, of whom I am an admirer.
of course Is gratifying. I believe the part7
has acted wisely, and I believe that this
fact will become apparent to democrats
elsewhere In the near future. I shall be
glad to take advantage of the Invitation
extended to me to take part In the' cam
paign. The vigor and good Judgment shown
by the democracy of Ohio Is a hopeful
sign, and I believe Its example will be fol
lowed by others.".

LINCOLN. Aug. r,. Speclal.)-Beneath
the machinery that runs the Columbus
democratic convention with such commend
able smoothness Is a smoldering fire, that
needs only another meeting of the faithful
to start a-blasing. Columbus would have
seen the fire hsd there been smong those
who have tired of fusion one of sufficient
courage to oppose the rule of W. J. Bryan
on the convention floor. Plenty there were
present who were opposed to his dictation,
and these were not afraid to say so, but
their nerve felled them upon arrival at
the convention hall, and Mr. Bryan won
4ut by defau'.t. thouirh he failed to get the
gionous vote or endorsement rrom tne con
vention that he In all probability expected.
Mr. Bryan Introduced to the convention
a young man from New Tork, whom he
had met In the W campaign, Mr. Wyvell.
This young man addressed the convention,
and In his remarks dramatically pointed
out that the eyes of the democratic world
were upon Nebraska, and that the party In
this stats would have much Influence in
shaping the next democratic platform.
Then would have been a nice time, at the
conclusion of this speech, for the unterrt
fled to have expressed their great confi
dence In the "peerless leader," but no one
made the motion. It Is believed by one
delegate to that convention i least that a
resolution of endorsement was what Mr.
Bryan expected, and that Mr. Wyve!l gavs
the tip to the convention.
The night previous to the convention the
feeling of those delegates present was to
leave out entirely any mention of national
politics and to nominate a straight demo
cratic ticket. The feeling grew as the night
wore on, but Mr. Bryan's timely arrival
put an end to It. He Insisted on the Grand
Island candidates and he Insisted on a re
affirmation of the Kansas City platform,
and he won out. As an excuse for fighting
sgalnst his dictation one delegate said a
fight at this time could only do Injury to
Judge Sullivan's candidacy and It would
have to be repeated at the next convention.
Consequently the next convention will wit
ness the fireworks.
Tyre the Blacklist.
Already the movement has started here.
Word has gone forth that A. J. Harley
and W. B. Price cannot go to the next na
tional democratic convention. It Is the
friends of Mr. Brysn who gave out the
word Just why no one seems to know,
unless It Is that these men have seen fit to
express an opinion of what a platform
should be without first asking Mr. Bryan's
permission to speak. Both men. It is said,
are willing to vote for Mr. Bryan's plat
form and for Mr. Bryan's candidate, though
both will support the convention platform
and candidate. Whether this means that
Mr. Bryan Intends to run the next national
democratic convention or bolt It Is not
known.
In speaking of affairs In' general Mr.
Price said today:
"I understand there Is to be a fight made
on me as a delegate to the national con
vention, but Just why I do not know. I
am - for Brysn and have been ' and have
spent my money in democratic campaigns.
I believe that Mr. Bryan should be at the
head of the Nebraska delegation and he
will be, I am sure. I was opposed to hav
Ing national politics Injected Into our state
platform this year because I-thought such
a plan would be out of place. ' I did not
object to the reaffirming of the Kansas
City platform because It la customsry to
do that until another platform Is adopted
by the national convention. I am sure
that the next convention will revise the
old platform and the new platform will
not contain a It to 1 section. The money
question, though. Is a fundamental prin
cipal, but the 16 to 1 section Is not.
I am very well satisfied with the plat
form that we adopted, though had I been
on the resolutions committee I should havs
Inserted a plcnk that would have shown
a comparison between the republican ad
ministrations and our administration."
Thinks Bryaa Makes Mistake.
Mr. Price believes that Gorman will be
the next democratic candidate for the
presidency, and he does not believe In "re-
organisers" or antl-reorganlzers. "Mr.
Brysn Is the only man I hear talking about
reorganlsers," he said. "Mr. Bryan and
republican papers. I think Mr. Bryan
has made a great mistake talking of
Cleveland as he does, when Cleveland la
taking up all his time raising babies and
fishing. He la not saying a word; Is not a
candidate for the presidency, and Is doing
nothing to merit It. This talk of reorgan
lsers Is all foolishness. I am for Brysn
and want to see him head the Nebraska
delegation to the national convention, but
I do not want to see him a dictator or try
to dictate to the entire democratic party
of the United States what It should do
and what It ahould not do. No man is
greater than the democratic party ana
never will be."

the county court of Judge J. A. Williams
yesterday Fred Shaffer and Albert 8 1 rube
of Plalnvlew were before him on the
charge of burglarizing the hardware store
of Brown Sorensea of that place. As the
boys were minors the officers of the law
wished them sent to the industrial school.
Their crime waa committed last mopth,
and they were brought before the county
Judge) who, upon the earnest solicitation
of their parents, decided to let them out
on bond for a month. When the boys
were brought before the Judge yesterday
It was found that Strube had behaved
himself as a boy ah-.uld. but that Shaffer
had stolen 14 from another boy and was
mixed up In some other unsavory deals.
Judge Williams decided that the Indus
trial school was the fit place for Shaffer,
and as a gentle reminder gave Strube ten
days In the county Jail.
LeWelady Gets Divorce.
FREMONT, Neb., Aug. J7.-8pec!aJ.
Judge Grlmlson granted General S.
Lovelady a divorce, and his wife, Emma,
about enough alimony to pay her attorney
fees and expenses. The tribulations of the
Love!adys have been extensively aired In
the courts lately, the defendant havlfig
been arrested only a few weeks ago on
the charge of threatening to poison her
husband and his children. She owns to
having two living husbands from whom
she has been divorced, and since the com
mencement of the suit the plaintiff has
found no less than four others with whom
she has lived as a wife, but whether they
were divorced or not he cannot say. The
evidence showed that she had made prepa
rations to poison Lovelady, had drank
more beer than was good for her. and ha
bitually chewed plug tobacco. The plain
tiff told the Judge that he should never
marry again.
Telephone Ceaapaay Wins.
FREMONT. Neb., Aug. V. (Speclal.V
Judge Grlmlson today decided the Injunc
tion case of the Nebraaka Telephone com
pany sgalnst the City of Fremont and oth
ers In favor of the plaintiff, making the In
junction perpetual. The case grows out of
the attempt of the former city council to
prevent the Nebraska Telephone company
from extending or repairing Its lines; on the
theory that It has no franchise to do busi
ness In the city. Acting under Instructions
the street commissioner cut some wires and
poles and the Injunction waa the result. The
Nebraska company claimed It had a right
to do business under an old ordinance
granting to W. J. Bigger and others a fran
chise to install a telephone plant. The case
was hotly contested lft the district court
and will undoubtedly be appealed to the su
preme court.

According to the figures of the United
States census, this matter of departing
from one's Intended sphere and field of
labor. Is not wholly confined to the women,
for under the heads of occupations that.
since the beginning of things, have been
ascribed to women, there has come an In
vasion of men by the thousands. For in
stance, there are In the United States. 12.S91
men nurses, an occupation that any man
who has ever been 111 will admit, to him
self at any rate, belongs to women. But
even a great departure la found In the mil
linery and dressmaking trades, there being
1.71 milliners and 8.116 dressmakers. Right
k.n it would seem la the chance for the
much maligned masculine" women to re
turn the compliment and call somebody a
mav" And. then, there are 1.837 men
luted as seamstresses." while fully half
those listed under the head of domestic
service, are men. not to speak of all the
men rook! and bakers, and laundry work
ers, dish washers and those engaged In
other professions that are looked upon as
eminently fitting occupations xor women
follow.
i. m.ttar of fact, the Intelligent oo-
.erver nnhat but recognise this departure
of both sexea aa merely an evidence Cat
men and women, ss truly as water, will nao.
their level tf but elven an opportunity, and
as women are Invading the accupaUons once
ascribed exclusively to men. so are men
branching out Into those departments and
professions for which tby may be equipped
In ability and Inclination. As everyone
knows, much of the so-called woman's work
came originally to be hers in the barbaric
time when the woman was the drudge of
the family and her work was whstever ner
husband those to put upon her regardless of
her fitness, physically er otherwise, to per
form It, and as many a daughter has In
herited a legal mtnd or some other so
called masculine tendency fom a gifted,
father. Just ss naturally do many msn In
herit domestic tendencies from their moth
ers and It Is no more remarkable that some
men ahmild Incline to dressmaking, and pie
"baking than that some women should aspire
to the practice of law and other learnea
professions. ,

are becoming more and more Interesting

It waa founded In 1SSS In the Interest of
the many club women who annually at
tend Chautauqua. Instead of being elected.
Its presidents are appointed by the manage
ment, as the club Is a regular department
of the assembly, and there have been but
two. the first being Mrs. Emily Hunting
ton Miller, dean of Northwestern university.
who held the office for eight years. The
present Incumbent Is Mrs. T. B. Vincent of
Colorado, a sister-ln-lsw of the bishop and
chancellor. The club holds IU meetings five
days of the week, the subjects of discus
sion closely following the general Chau
tauqua program. This admits of the ad
vantage of bearing the distinguished speak
ers who are brought by the assembly man
agement and who could scarcely be secured
for any other club meeting.
Still another solution of the servant ques
tion has been effered by Boston, in the
opening of a training school by the Boston
Household Aid society, where household
speclslists may be supplied. The plan U to
supply young women specialists tin any
branch of house work, who will go out
by the hour, doing whstever U required of
them and leaving when it U finished. Just
as a plumber or carpenter or any trades
man might do, and receiving for their
work from' I cents to tl an hoar. The
cale as announced Is: For plain house
work, a cleaner or asslstsnt will charge
from t to 9 rents sn hour according to the
work done; a cook from S to 75 cents an
hour; household management from 16 cents
to tl sn hour. Sesmstressea, milliners,
shoppers. nuses and In fact, women for
every need, wfll be furnished. There are al
ready twenty young women In the house,
most of them being high school graduates,
though thU Is not one of the requirements.
The equivalent of a grsmmsr school educa
tion Is necessary, however, sad all candi
dates must be at least 17 years old.

past week has been a record-breaker In the
land -seeker movement te this part of the
state. On Wednesday night It took seven
roaches to bring the crowd west from
Huron, and on Tuesday night It waa nearly
as Urge. The land office has been kept
busy looking after the homesteaders, while
many sales sre being made all along the
line from Huron west. The homestead
filings up to Saturday night for the month
of August had reached nearly 3)0, and that
mark will be passed before the end of the
month. One landowner who has operated
several years nesr Huron, while residing
In Iowa, made the sutemeat that the Indi
