The Order of Protection met here this morning and after a welcome address by Mayor Lot and a speech by Supreme Commander T. M. Bennett of St Paul, went Into execu tive esgon to transact business. At Ihla meeting State Auditor Barton de livered a apeech which haa atlrred up the delegates to the talking point and the al tonight around the hotela ia full of what la going to happen to the contract which the company haa with the American Order company, organised by officiate of the American Order of Protection and con tracted with to do the field work for the Order of Protection. Some of the delegates are n favor of abrogating the contract and compelling the officials to pay back to the American Order of Protection the money that haa been paid to the American Order company. Auditor Barton denounced the organlsa tlon of the American Order company as contrary to law and his attitude la being used by W. H. Thompson of Grand Inland and others as a basis to work for Ita abro gation. C. P. Oaylord Is a supreme officer of the American Order ef Protection and is also president of the American Order com pany with which the contract for, field work has been made.

Dr. Wlleoa Reappointed. rr. W. H. Wilson has been reappointed state health Inspector by the State Board of Health. The salary la $1,800 a year. The late democratic legislature attempted to legislate Dr. Wilson out Of offloe, but In Its efforts to get every offloe in sight It made a mistake and amended the wrong aection of the law, and thus one offloe was saved for an entire board to fill instead of Just the governor. MsrlliMi Oat of Polltlea. Hon. Peter Mortensen. former slate treas urer, was In Lincoln today enroute home to Ord after having accompanied his son aa far aa Omaha on hie road to school in Minnesota. "I feel better than I have for a long time," aatd Mr. Mortensen. "My aon wanted to develop bla muscles In order to stand a chance to get on the foot ball team, so he went to work on a farm. We got an automobile and went out together, and I worked with him. The result la both of ua built up our musolee. "I hear Borne politics, but I have no Idea who will be the strong man in a primary for a' nomination for governor on tha re publican ticket. I believe that Senator E. P. Brown of Lancaster county would be a logical candidate if the fact that he Uvea In Lincoln would not operate against him." Mr. Mortensen said he had no desire to get In the race, as Valley county already haa one candidate, though Mr. Fries has not aaid on what ticket he will run. Sen ator Cady, Mr. Mortensen thought might also get Into the race, though he had noth ing to base hla presumption upon Insofar aa direct knowledge la concerned. Lights for Capitol Oronnds. Former Mayor Brown was at the state house this morning to get a blue print of the grounds showing the position of the electric lights that are shortly to be up. The former mayor la going to aee to it that the city erects lights at the corners of the grounds, something he has been trying to get done for many years, but . which the city of Lincoln has con- a'.stently refused to do. Now that the state la preparing to light the grounds the city Is going to light Its streets at the corners of the grounds. The claim was made at the meeting that the expenses about equalled the Income and little or nothing was being put by for an Increasing mortality. The auditor Informed the delegates that the cost of the Insurance would continue to increase and he, insisted on providing for mortuary income. The auditor Insisted upon the re peal of the present law which permits of the transfer of any of the mortuary fund to the general fund to pay expenses. The speech of the auditor was ordered printed so that tha delegates would be fa miliar with the facts when they take It up to discuss his suggestions at the execu tive meeting tomorrow.

Vcrry Absut hi - During the Hot Weather This la not the time to worry about your fat. The thing to do Is to remove that fat arithout taking ehanoes with the hearth of the rest of ths body. . There haa been a greet aemana xor several years for a con. venlent reat of the body. There haa been a tcnpiion wnicn naa met wrth such suo eess in the past few years In the reduction if flesh. Thin damand haa been met In the shape of a small tablet that holds all the principles' of the famous prescription and at the same time enables a, fat person to always be able to take their fat reducing formula, no matter where they may be. One of these little tablets taken after each meal and at bed time will stop at once the production of all fat and will remove the fat you have at the rate of from It to It ounces per day. - They are perfectly harm less, contain no druga that will tear down your system, but they do their work lust as nature Intends It should be dene.

Just your moral support will Insure work, a living and comforts which are now either partly or wholly denied them. How soT Come on, let's have a look. You've often been Importuned and many have been commanded by advertisement or otherwise to "refuse to buy anything un less it bears the union label." Looks harmless on Its face, doesn't It? It really Is a "demand" that you boy cott the products made by over 80 per cent of our American worklngmen and women who decline to pay fees to, , and obey the dictates of the union leaders. It demands that you ask the merohant for articles with the "union label," thus to Impress him with Its Importance. It seeks to tell you what to buy and what to refuse. The demands are some times most Insolent with a "holler than thou" Impudence. It demands that you take away the liv ing of thla 80 per cent of American work lngmen and women. , Ia that clear T , Why ahould a email body of workmen aak you to help starve the larger body? There must be soma reason for , the "union label" scheme. ... ( Run over In your mind and remember how they carry on their work. During a discussion about working or striking in the coal regions, about 24, 000 men preferred to work, they had wives and babtea to feed. Thjnon men said openly In their convention that if the em ployers didn't discharge" these men they (the union men) would; kl? them. So they dynamited about, a dosen homes, maimed and crippled women and children and brutally assaulted aoorea ot these in dependent workers. The big boys of the union wore taught to pound the school children of the Inde pendent men. How would you like to have your little girl shortly grown from the toddling baby who used to sit on your lap and love 'iDaddy" pounded by some big bullies on bar way home from the school where she had gone to try and please Daddy by learning to read? The little bruised face and body would first need tender care while you ponder the inscription writ deep In your heart by that Maater and Guide to gll human com passion, "Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these my brethern ye have done It unto me." Then per haps you would drop to your knees and pray Almighty God for atrength In your right arm to strike one manly and pow erful blow for baby'a sake, even if you went to death for it Helpless children were brought home, wtth faces black or bleeding from the blowa and klcka of theae fiends, teaching Independent Americana that they must stop work when told and pay fees to the leaders of "labor." Thouaanda of men, women and children have been treated thua. From somewhere. Oh Father. of ua all, we try to believe that You look with pity ing eyea upon theae brutal blowa, cuta and acara on the many human bodlea made In your likeness and Image. They are beautifully and wonderfully made, each the dwelling place of a Divine Soul. Ia It Your wish that they be crushed by Iron ahod heels, cut by knlvea or torn asunder by bullets and dynamite? May we venture to think that a long suffering patience la extended In the hope that the men and women of America may some day wake to a realisation of the awful crueltlea pereptrated by thla spirit of oppression and that they will some day learn the lesson that the "sac red gift of human freedom and liberty" was given by God and must be defended even to death Itself.. Our forefathers wre used by the Infi nite God to establish our freedom in 1T76, and our fathers gave freely of their blood and treasure to establfah the freedom of the black. Now again it seems we are called upon to protect our brothers and ourselves from that old time spirit of tyranny which comes up from time to time to force the people to obey tyran nous rules and bend the knee of the slave. In Wellston, Ohio, thirty Americans sought employment In a factory. They were aeeklng to earn food for their fami lies. They were bombarded by rocks and pounded with clubs In the hands of union men. One of the Injured, John Brannlhan, waa taken to the city hospital with a broken jaw, crushed skulland other cuts and bruises. He waa the father of two children, and was. thought to be dying. Perhaps hs did. I don't know, but I some times wonder what the children said to Mother when "Pappy" didn't come home, and how they and the little woman got any food, and how they could place their wrongs before their own American fellows. Mayhap sometime some kind person will equip a home where the orphans and widows of the victims of the Lbor Truat may be cared tor and fed. It would take a big home. It haa been said there were Si Americans, many of them fathera, killed in one strike, (the teamsters In Chicago) and over 1.000 maimed, many for life.

Ia., Sept 14.-(Speclal.)-Eastern capitalists are Investigating the Iowa Clry franchise, and It Is probable that a company will be organised to build a city railway here next spring. I. R. Mc Cleery of Chicago, agent for the eastern parties, was Jn the city yesterday. He made a thorough canvass of the situation. "lesson" of these bullies. There are lit erally thousands of cases wherein your fellow American has been assaulted, maimed or killed by these men. The same work Is going on day by day. Suppose you mske a practice of picking out each day from the papers, accounts of brutality to American worklngmen who prefer to work free from the. Impudence and tyran ny of self constituted leaders (?) than to be always subject to their beck and call, pay them fees and be told by them when and where to work, and for whom. You will discover the same general con ditions underlying all these dally attacks. In erery case the worklngmen prefera to be free. He haa that right He then trlea to go to work. He and hla family sorely need the money for food or he wouldn't run the rlak of his life. Many such a man has wiped the tears away and quieted the fears of a loving wife, left wtth a kiss on her Hps, set his manly jaw and walked Into a shower of stones and bullets to win food for the loved mother and babies. A good many have been brought home on stretchers with blood ooslng from noae and ears, aome cold, while some gradually recover, and carry for life the grim marks of the "union label." They are your fellows, my friends, and yet you auplnely read the account and say "too bad." " Have you grown ao calloused that you care nothing for the sufferings of these men who need food and these helpless ones who rely on the life and atrength of huaband and father? Let ua hope that aoon you may be moved by a Just God to rise In your might and by voice and pen, by vote and right arm you will do a man's part In pro tecting yourselves and your brothers from thla onslaught of American cltlxens. Thla cruel warfare la carried on not al ways to raise wages, but to establish union control, kick out the Independent men and establish the "label." Unfortunately the "Labor movement" which started many years ago honestly enough, haa fallen under control of a lot of tyrannical, vicious "men of violent tendencies." y There are too many to attempt to name. You can recall them. They Include men who have planned the murders of miners, teamsters, pressmen and carpenters, shoe makers and Independent workmen of all kinds. Many of them have escaped hang ing by an outraged public only because juries became terror stricken and dared not convict them. Some have been punished slightly and some, Including the principal officers of thla nefarioua crew are now under sen tence to imprisonment but have appealed their cases. Right here some apologist rises to pro test against "speaking thus of laboring men." Blesa your dear heart 1 isn't the honest and real workman who does these things. It is the excitable onea and the tougha and thuga who don't work except with their mouths, but have secured con trol of too many unions. I don't even at tempt to specify the criminal acts thsse persons have aaslsted or winked at in their plan for destroying free working men and forcing men to stay in the "union" and hence under their control. The newspapers for the past aeven years contain almost daily accounts of the criminal, lawless and tyrannical acts against American cttlsens and haven't told half the tale. Right here It becomes necessary to aay for the ten thousandth time that there are scores of honest law abiding union men who deplore and are In no way responsible for the long in famous record of the "Labor Trust" under Its present management, but they don't seem to stop it. The men who manage, who pull the strings and guide the policy have made the record and it stands, as made by them. Examine, if you please, the record of a string of members of the American Federation of Labor and you will view a list of crimes against Americans, stupen dous beyond belief. They defy the laws, sneer at the courts, incite mobs and are avowed enemlea of the peaceable cltlxens of all classes. This band wields an Iron bar over their subjects and drives them to idleness whenever they want to call a strike or exact extra pocket money for themselves. Men don't wsnt to be thrown out of work and lose their livelihood, but what can they do when the slugging and mur dering committee stands always ready to "do them" If they try to work. L The poor women and helpless children suffer and no one dares present their case to the public. They must suffer in silence for they have no way to right their wrongs, while the notoriety-seeking leaders csrry out their work. These men cannot thus force oppres sion on the weak and Innocent or use them to bring newspaper notice to them selves and money to their pockets unless they can "hold them In line." Therefore, with the craft of the fox and venom of the serpent they devise the "union label" and tell the public to buy only articles carrying the label. Smooth scheme Isn't It They extract a fee from every union man, and in order to get these monthly fees, they must hold ths workers in the "union" and force manufacturers to kick out all Independent men Can anyone devise a more complete and tyrannical trust? If allowed full sway, no Independent MORGAN ELECTED DIRECTOR (Continued from First Page.) were In line with the general expecta tion. Judge Lovett succeeded Mr. Harrl man as chairman ot the executive com mittee, while Jacob H. Schlff and Will iam Rockefeller were elected directors and made members of the enlarged executive committee. Aa waa the rase at the Union Pacific meeting, no action waa taken In the matter of electing a auccessor to Mr. Harrlman, as president. llarrlmaa Stocks Rise. The Harrlman stocks moved upward on the market today, largely, however. In compliance with the recent optimistic re ports of the future plans of the financier's supposed successors. There were meetings today of the direc tors of the Illinois Central railroad and of the Wells, Fargo ft Co., In which Mr. Harrlman had membership. Neither board took action to fill tfie vacancy, but Presi dent Harahan of the Illinois Central was authorised tot appoint er committee to draft suitable resolutions on Mr. llsril man'a death. The directors of the Union Pacific, which Edward H. Harrlman organised out of comparative chaos and made the nu cleus of hla 60,000 miles of railroad con trol, paid him their formal tribute today. At a special meeting yesterday follow ing that whloh filled Mr. Harrlman's va cant place on the board of directors and at the head ot the executive, the directors Word man could keep working In a free factory, for the goods wouldn't sell no matter how perfectly they be made. Then when the factory haa been forced to close and the employees get hungry enough from lack of wages the workers must suppli cate the union leaders to be "allowed" to pay their fines (for not becoming mem bers before) and pay their monthly fees to the purse-fat managers of the Labor Trust. Thereupon (under orders) before the factory be allowed to start they must force the owners of the business to put on the "union label" or strike, picket the works, and turn themselves Into sluggers and criminals towards the Independent workers who might still refuse to bend the knee and bow the head. In the meantime babies and mothers go hungry and shoeless, but who cares. The scheming leaders are trained to talk of the "uplifting of labor" and shed tears when they speak of the "brotherhood of man," meaning the brotherhood of "Skinny Maddens," "Sheas," "Gompers," et al, al waya excluding the medium or high grade Independent workers. . Perhaps you have noticed lately that the makers of the finest hats, shoes and otler articles have stopped putting on the union label. Naturally the Labor Trust managers have ordered their dupes to strike, lie idle, scrap, fight, slug and destroy' property to force the makers to again put on "the label." But for some reason the buying public has been aroused to the Insults and oppression behind It and in thousands of cases have refused to buy any article carrying what someone named the 'tag of servitude and oppres slon." The bound and gagged union slave is fined from 15.00 to 125.00 If he buys any article not bearing the 'union label." Nevertheless, hi, time and again, risks the penalty and buys "free" goods sim ply In order to help the fellow working man who is brave enough to work where he pleases without, asking permission on bended knees from the bulldoslng lead ers who seek by every known method of oppression and hate to govern him. If these poor wageworkera will thus brave fine and slugging to help out other men who seek to live a free life under onr laws and constltutlon'cannot you, reader, help a little? Will you reach out a hand to help an independent workman earn food for 'his wife and babies? Or will you from apathy and carlessness allow him to be thrown out of work and the helpless suf fer until they prostrate themselves be fore this stupendous and tyrannical ag gregation of leeches upon honest Ameri can labor? t The successor of Henry Ward Beecher In Plymouth church, Brooklyn, saya: "Union ihbor hatred for labor burns like a flame, eats like nltrlo acid, Is malignant beyond all description. But the other day, a woman representing a certain union visited many families in Plymouth church asking them to boycott a certain institution. Alas this union woman's hatred for non-union women burned In her like the fires of hell. ' She was pitilessly, relentlessly and tire lessly pursuing the non-union women and men to destroy the market for goods, to ruin their factory and to starve them out. In the French revolution only 2 per cent of the French people believed In violence. The 98 per cent disclaimed vio lence and yet the 98 per cent allowed the 2 per cent to fill the streets of Parts with festering corpses, to clog the Seine wtth dead bodies, to shut up every factory in Paris until the laboring classes starved by the score. The small per cent element In the Labor Trust which hates and seeks to destroy the large per cent of Independent Ameri cans sends out letters declaring 'free" Industries unfair and tries to boycott their products. Jf they could bind everyone it would bring suffering upon hundreds of thousands. Immeasurable ruin upon the country, and land it absolutely under con trol of the men now attempting to dic tate the daily acts of our people and ex tract from each a monthly fee. There are babies, children, women and honest, hard-working and skillful fathers who rely upon the protection of their fellows, when they seek to sell their labor where they choose, when they choose, and for a sum they believe It to be worth. -Every citizen having the rights, priv ileges and protection of a citizen has also the responsibility of a citizen. The Labor Trust leaders may suavely "request" (or order those they can) to buy only "union label" articles, and you can of course obey if you are under orders. Depend upon It, the creatures of the Labor Trust will, upon reading this, visit stores and threaten dire results unless all the things bear "the label." They go so far as to have their women pretend to buy things, order yards of silk or cloth torn off and various articles wapped up and then discover "no label," and refuse them. That's been done hun dreds of times and is but one of the petty acts of hatred and tyranny. Let no one who reads this article un derstand that he or she is asked to boy cott any product whether It bears a "union label' or not. One haa a consti tutional right to examine tha article and aee whether its makers are Labor Truat A! appointed a committee, consisting of Mar vin Hughltt. Henry C. Frlck and Charles A.

A copy of thee resolutions were first sent to Mrs. Harrlman at Arden, and to day their contents were made public The resolutions follow: Resolved. That the board of directors of the I'nlon i'actflc Railroad rnmpanv, with deep sorrow, records the death of Edward Henry Harrlman at hla country place at Arden. N..

He was more than chairman of the executive, committee and prentilent. which offices at the time of his death he held and had long filled. He was the genius of the new Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific; and the high state of efficiency to which these proper ties have been brought, the part that Is being performed by them In the develop ment of the country they serve and the solid bsls upon which the securities of said companies now rest, are monuments to his genius, marvelous energy and un tiring work In the Interest of these com panion. It is Impossible to here record any ade quate expression of appreciation of Mr. Harrlman's work for the American rail road system, for It must form a large and Important chapter In the history of our times. Rut we, who were Intimately asso ciated with Mr. Harrlman appreciate even more the qualities which were less con spicuous to the public. The kindness of his heart, the strength of his friendship, the quickness of his sympathy and his loyalty to all his associates were traits of his character so marked aa to Inspire the devotion of all who knew him well, and his happiness In his home circle wss an inspiration and delight We deeply mourn his loss as a personal friend and as the head of these companies, and ten der to his family our profound sympathy. Oil contributor and slaves or are free and In dependent Americans. I have tried to tell you something about those who are oppressed, vilified, hated, and when opportunity offers are attacked because they prefer to retain their own Independent American manhood. These men are In the vast majority and include the most skillful artisans in the known world. They have wives and babes dependent en them. These men are frequently oppressed and have no way to make their wrongs known. They are worthy of defense. That's the reason for the expenditure of a few thous ands of dollars to send this message to the American people. Remember, I didn't say my "excuse" for eendlng it The cause needs no excuse." C. W. POST, Battle Creek, Mich. N. B. Some "parlor socialist' who knows nothing of the Russian Csarlsm of the great Labor Truat will ask right here: "Don't you believe In the right of certain workmen to "organize." Oh yes, brother, when real workmen manage wisely and peacefully, but I would challenge the right of even a church organization when Its affairs had been seized by a motley crew of heartless, vicious men who stopped Industries, incited mobs to at tack citizens and destroy "property in order to establish their control of com munities and affairs, and subject every one to their orders and exact the fees. When you see work of this kind being done call on or write the prosecuting offl cera of your district and demand proced ure under the Sherman anti-trust law, and prosecution for conspiracy .and re straint of trade. We have the law but the politicians and and many a our officers even while drawing pay from the people are afraid to enforce It in protection of our cltlxens and now the big Labor Trust Is moving heaven and earth to repeal the law so their nefarious work may be mora aafely carried on. But yon. Why don't you strike out and demand defense for your fellows? Put your prosecuting officers to the test and Insist that they do their sworn duty, and protest to your congressmen and legislators against tha repeal of the Sherman Antl-Trust law. Its repeal ia being pushed by the Labor Trust and some Jjlg capital trusts In order to give each more power to oppress. Do your duty and protest. In this great American Re public everyone must be jealous of the right of Individual liberty and always and ever resent the attempts made to gain power for personal aggrandisement. Only the poor fool allows his liberty to be wrested from him. Someone aska "how about your' own workmen?" I didn't intend to speak about my own affairs, but so long as tha question Is almost sure to be asked I don't mind telling you. The Poaturh workers are about a thou sand strong, men and women, and don't belong to labor unions. The Labor Trust haa, time without numbers, sent "or ganlzera" with money to give "smokers," etc., and had Its "orators" declaim the "brotherhood of man" business, and cry salty tears describing the fearful condi tions of the "slaves of capital" and all that. But the "confidence game" never worked, for the decent and high grade postum workers receive ten per cent over the regular wage scale. They are the highest paid, richest and best grade of working people in the atate of Michigan and I believe in the United States. They mostly own their own homes, and good ones. Tllr wages come hi weeks in a year and are never stopped on the order of some paid agent of the Labor Truat They have savings accounts in tha banks, houses of their own and steady work at high wages. They like their dally occupation In the works (come and ask them) and are not slaves, and yet the Labor Trust lead era have done their best to ruin the sale of their products and force them into Idleness and poverty. It would cost the worklngmen of Battle Creek (our people and about 1,000 others) from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00 a month In fees to send out to the leaders of the Labor Trust, If they would allow them selves to become ''organised" and Join the Trust Not for them, they keep the money, school the children and live "free." That's some comfort for white people. Once In a while one of the little books "The Road to Wellvllle." we put In the pkgs. of Postum, Grape-Nuts and Post Toastles, is sent back to us with a sticker pasted across It saying "Returned be cause It don't bear the union label." Then we join hands and sing a hymn of praise for the discovering by some one that our souls are not seared with the guilt of being conspirators to help bind the chains of slavery upon fellow Americans by placing added power in the hands of the largest, moat oppressive and harmful trust the world has ever seen. When you seek to buy something look for the "union label" and apeak your aenttmenta. That's an opportunity to reach out a helping hand to the cduntlesa men and women In all kinds of Industry who brave bricks, stones and bullets, to maintain their American manhood and freedom by making the finest goods' In America and which do not bear taa aeal of Industrial slavery, the fUaiom XabeL" Detroit, alien.
