LINCOLN BUREAU OF THE OMAHA BrA J
1929 y STREET,

LINCOLN May 81.
Lincoln plumbers have reached out their
hand TO their Omaha brethren. The visit of
S. j. Murphy and J. V. Bremen. of Omaha,
representatives Of the union there was re-
garded as ominous last night, and verifica.
tion came this morning when eighteen men,
bers of the craft refused TO go to work. The
union boys here openly say that concessions
must be made before they will turn hand.
1t is understood that the Lincoln boys are
brought into the muddle in this way:
The boss plumbers have determined to
fight this strike to the bitter end, ana have
organized for self protection. Two Lincoln
employers, Messrs. Hooker and O'Neill, have
gone to Omaha and are working with their
own hands on jobs IN order that the bosses
may come out victorious. The delegation
came down to secure the return of these en-
ployers to Lincoln. They say that thsy met
representatives of all the shops last night
and it was agreed that no work would be
done this morning unless the bosses would
agree to return from Omaha Immediately.
IL is difficult TO ascertain how many men will
be affected by this order. The visitors claim
that the eighteen will certainly refuse to
work tomorrow unless the Lincoln bosses
agree to let the Omaha strike alone.
Pending an answer to their demand, the
boys chose TO lay off, to-day, as they put it,
but as the "bossos" snow no disposition to
cater to them, the probability is that the
strike Is on here as well as in Omaha. At 3
O'Clock, to-day, no answer had been received
from Omaha, and the word goes that the
strike is regular.

Mitchell Again Skips.

E. G.. Mitchell called the turn on Sheriff
Melick, last night, as the incoming Burling-
ton passenger train neared Havelock, the
first station north Of Lincoln. Mitchell was
wanted here for running off mortgaged prop
er,y, and had been arrested at Dakota City,
where he was turned over to the sheriff. yes,
terday morning. The prisoner accompanied
Melick so quietly that he was wholly dis
armed and, biding his time, jumped from
the train, and made good his escape Pursuit
was useless, for the darkness of the night
made it possible for him to get into hiding
before the train could be stopped.

THE RUINED CITY.

Love found me where amid my wasted years
I sat and gazed with cold, unheeding sight
On fair shafts fallen and scared with time and
tears
Palace and temple prone in pallid blight,
Whose gilded peaks once caught the sun S flrst
CLEANS,
When youth and dwet in the land of dreams.
l sat within the sheltered porch of Fame,
Whose glittering pnnaCles rose highest there
Upon whose shrines hope fed the rainbow fame
Till hope lay dead beneath the feet of care;
Now, through the Wondering roof frost, Wlnd
and rain
Blur its dark courts with many a blistering stain.
And here fair Friendship had a royal dome
Pride, Pomp and Pleasure each house OF gold,
And, oh. more sweet than ALL built home
Wherein my days might ripen and grow old
Lo through their hollow chambers wheel ana ny
The owls and bat with melancholy cry.
So. on the lifeless ruins of the past,
While, like pale leaves of autumn on my mead
The dust of wan decay fell thick and fast,
sat among my dying hopes and dead,
Alone and silent in the spectral gloom,
Crouched like ghost upon broken tomb;
Till Love for which built no sculptured shrine,
Nor knew in youthful, dreamdeluded years,
Sought me with brow unveiled and eyes divine,
And led me from that place of dust and tears
Far. far away, DER bright seas blowing balm,
To isles Of ease in ultimate pure calm.

Budding on Orange Stumps.

After more than fifteen years expert
ence, observation and reading on the cul-
tivation of the orange and goodly num-
Der of other fruits, | think am able to
give some safe advice on starting grove to
pay in the quickest possible time. Still
do not claim that am first to learn it, for
| believe a goodly number have, who
have said but little about it.
After all that has been said as to the
quickest plan, none, l am convinced, will
compare with budding the improved vari-
cites, or good quality of seedlings into
large stumps of any variety that does well ;
for instance, stumps of the sour, sweet or
bitter-sweet orange, lemon or grape fruit
the latter preferable, | am satisfied. If
stumps do not have to be moved from
their original locality, all the better but
in case they do, to get them in order, L
prefer moving in December. And no mat
ter. if the stumps need not to be moved, If
the tops are fruiting all the better, If you
can have stumps already made.
This way of budding at the ground, or
up to eighteen inches above it, on sprouts
or stumps of any age, and especially one,
two, and three years old, is the slowest
way on earth to get grove. No wonder
newcomers get scared, and leave, or turn
aside to something else, who attempt 1t.
Cannot any man see at a glance that If a
bud is stuck into small stump, low down,
the bud must make the stump or body,
as well as the top, and that, minus good
body, the top will be failure, or measu-
ably so. Who ever saw an orange tree
bearing a good paying crop on body like
broomstick No top will ever attain good
dimensions until the body is able to sup
| port it.
If you want to get paying top on a
tree in tie quickest way, cut off the TOP
of seeding tree that has been barring
three or four years, and put buds on al
once tc start at least five or six, and if il
is healthy, and you give it attention, you
will fully realize all you csn reasonably
expect. Four-year old stumps, if healthy
and we'll developed. will surprise you, il
| budded about four feet above the ground
In transplanting stumps for budding, i:
you will take stumps four years old, ano
even six or seven years old, and at leas
three and one half feet high, cutting OF
all the small limbs and shortening thu
large ones to reasonable length to bue
into, and transplant in December or Janu
airy, and watch them, and when the fresh
sprouts have made growth of not owe
four or SIX inches, at once stick in you
buds, you will very soon have PAYNE
grove. Be sure you bud to bodies alread.

Western Corn Safe From Frost.

The editor of the Farmers ReUaeD OF
Chicago, on being interviewed as to what
damage to the corn crop would probably
follow frost at this date, gave 1t as his
opinion that IS a general thing the crop Is
now out of the wayEOf frost. A frost az
this date would undoubtedly seriously IN
lure all late planted corn on low lying
ground where superabundance OF moisture
tends to make the crop rank and green
when that on high and dry land is COM
mencing to wither. In Northern Wlscon-
sin, where drouth has prevailed TO an IN
usual degree, this seasons corn crop IS
already dry and past in ury from trosts
In the dairying districts Of the State,
where much corn is planted for use In the
silo, it Is probable that good deal OF
damage will be done. The crop is usually
cut for ensilage purposes when the ears
are commencing to ''glaze." Where this
stage has not been arrived at and frost
falls, souring of the ears will ensue and
considerably lessen the value OF the corn
for silage. In Illinois and Indiana corn is
considered practically out of danger of
frost except along rivers on what are
known as bottom lands and on other low
living lands not titled. In Northwestern
kentucky and Northern Missouri frost
will not probably do any material damage.
A frost at this date would have done vast
amount of injury to the corn crop had it
/ not been for the few weeks of hot weather
recently experienced. Looking at the
matter from the standpoint of the entire
corn belt, not much loss it to be feared
from frost at this date. The tomato crop
will, however, in many localities be Sc
verely damaged should frost of any Sc
verify happen at this time.

Capturing a Tune.

It is probable that there is not man,
woman, or child in Georgia who never
heard the song "Good by, My Lover,
Good by" 1t is jolly plantation ballad,
used by serenading parties in the rural
districts until it has become the midnight
reverie of the sleeping citizens in many
places. During recent revival in the
Methodist church at Milledgville it's tune
vas introduced to that sublime hymn,
s.There is Fountain Filled with Blood, J"
with refrain, "By and By Wen See the
King" Night after night this new inter,
probation rang out from the hundreds of
throats that attended the services, causing
a smile to those who saw its comical side,
until it's novelty wore off, and it was estab-
lished as fixture in the song service of
the church. 1t is one of the most popular
songs of the church now, and tune that
would have been regarded as desecration
of the Sabbath few weeks ago is now
whistled on Sundays in good TASTE

THE WIND ACROSS THE WHEAT.

You ask me for the sweetest sound mine ears
have ever heard?
A sweeter than the ripples plash or trilling of a
Than tapping of the raindrops upon the roof at
night,
Than the signing of the pine-trees on yonder
mountain height
And tell you, these are tender yet never quite
so sweet
As the murmur and the cadence Of the wind
across the wheat.
Have you watched the golden pillows in sunlit
sea of grain,
Ere yet the reaper bound the sheaves, to fill the
creaking vain?
Have you thought how snow and tempest and
the bitter wintry cold
Were but the guardian angels, the next years
bread to hold,
A precious thing, unframed by all the turmoil Of
the sky,
just waiting, growing, silently, until the storm
went by?
Oh l. have you lifted up your heart to Him who
loves us all
And listens, through the angel songs, if but a
sparrow fall.
And then, thus thinking of His hand, what sym
phony so sweet
AS the music in the long refrain, the wind across
the wheat?
It hath its dulcet echoes, from many a lullaby,
Where the Graded babe is hushed beneath the
mothers loving eye
It hath its heaven promise, as sure as heavens
throne,
That He who sent the mama will eyer feed His
own;
And though an atom only, mid the countless
hosts who share
The Makers never-ceasing watch, the Fathers
deathless care,
That atom is as dear to Him as my dear child tc
He cannot lose me from my place, through al
eternity.
You wonder when it sings me this there's moth
ing half so sweet
Beneath the circlng planets, as the wind across
the wheat

Street Scenes In India.

A great deal of hair dressing goes on, all
in the street many M an have their heads
shaved bare with the exception of one lit
tie tuft on the crown or strip on either
side above the ears but the style of wear
ing the hair varies almost as much as the
way of tying the turban or the shape of
the Hindoo cap. Here man, extended on

over the shoulder. Everywhere are little

possibly bracelets or anklets. Now pass

shops, like platforms, raised about ia a
couple of feet above the ground, sheltered
by projecting awnings of bamboo, thatch,

How Trout Remember.

..Some time before the death of Seth
Green, the celebrated fish culturlst ana
naturalist" said a Philadelphia who takes
great interest in piscicultural matters, II
paid a visit with him to the fish hatchery
of that State at Caledonia. In one OF the
ponds there at that time were 5OOO large
brook trout, every one of which had been
captured with the fy-tied on barbless
hooks-in unfreouented brooks in the Ad-
irondack regions These trout, Mr. Green
said. had convinced him that fish have
reasoning power and memory. When
thew were hooked and reeled in slowly by
the careful fishermen who were capturing
them for the State pond, they had time
and opportunity to note the form and char
acter of the tackle that made them prison
ers. According to Mr.. Green they never
forgot that experience.
s"rhe trout had been in the pond long
time. the females never being allowed TO
spawn there, and would follow Mr.. Green
as he walked along the edge of the water
tossing bits of liver into it. To show that
his theory about their memory was correct
he would carry cane and hsh rod con-
cealed behind his back. If he took the
cane from it's concealment and held it out
ever the water, the fish paid no attention
to IT, but the moment he produced the rod
with it's reel and line attached, away the
trout scampered like flash to distant
parts of the pond. Mr.. Green told me tina
he would permit any one to cast fly il
that pond to their hearts content, as n
was satisfied that not one of the trou
would come near it, SO wildly did the.
remember their enemy of five years ago.

Sister Dora.

Some time ago 8 statue was raised in
the town OF Walsall, in the Black Coun-
try, the first ever erected in Engla to
woman with the exception of Queen Anne
and Queen Victoria.
A singular story lies behind this event.
Walsall, large manufacturing town, was
filed, twenty years ago, with a rough,
drunken community of laboring people.
The drainage and streets were in deplor
able condition, and every year smallpox
and low fever ragged unchecked.
In 1864 Dorothy Pattison, better known
as SISTER Dora" went to Walsall during
a fearful outbreak Of smallpox, nursed
the sick and dying, and even with her own
hands laid out and buried the dead when
no man would dare to perform the last
friendly office. So violent was the an
tipathy to the gray gown of the sister that
she was stoned and driven through the
streets of Walsall with vile obscenity and
abuse.
Once stone thrown by a boy cut her in
the forehead and felled her to the earth.
She went on with her work quietly, but
with indomtable resolution, treating her
rough enemies, when they became her
patients, with infinite tenderness, mixed
with shrewd joking humor which caught
their fancy. One of the very men who
had stoned her was brought in, crushed
al nost beyond recognition in coal pit,
for her to nurse He became her most de-
vtoed friend.
Slowly she won over the multitudes of
ruffianly men and women. She became
''Our Sister Dora" to the ignorant, faith
f+ll souls.
On one occasion, when the hospital was
filled with cases of virulent smallpox, she
closed the doors to prevent the spread of
infection, and with one mans help nursed,
cooked, washed and scrubbed for them all
Ane patient, when in the last agony
Mised himself with terrible effort, and
sried out, kiss me once, sister, before l
ME p which she did instantly.
When she fell victim to her work at
,Aast, the people mourned for her as if each
man had lost his nearest friend. One of
the eighteen laboring men who carried her
to the grave said:
eve want her cut in marble, with her
cap an COON an blessed face. It's not
that we'll forget her; no danger o that ;
but we want her to be there SO that when
strangers come and see her standing up
there, they'll say, Who's thatY An we'll
say, Who's that? That's our Sister Dora. y
| The statue ust erected was built by
countless small contributions from the
poor, and stands in the very square where
she was stoned, to show one triumph OF
pure womanly goodness in the world

A Scrap Of Paper.

Neither pretty piece of paper M nor
clean, nor at ali elegant in shape; Inc
characters upon it are ugly and rude.
Here and there, the pencil, pushed too
roughly, has made unsightly tears. The
scrap is crudely folded, too; and to your
eye there is nothing attractive or beautlfal
in it.. But Nettie, as she hands it to me to
examine, says, "Jet's dear little hand
wrote that, and she folded it herself. she
said she was writing letter to dear Aunt Aunt
Nettie.'" That explains why the dlfoy
scrap of paper is submitted to my examl-
nation. Jets baby fingers did all this.
She did her best to write letter to her
aunty. And so her Aunt Nettie receives
it with pleasure, and as she looks at the
stains and scratches and tears, her heart
goes out in tenderest love to the Dapy
niece whose chubby fingers tried SO hard
to write message of love, though IN that
effort, white paper was only disfigured.
And may not God look with love upon the
page of life on which we earnestly en-
deavor to write well our message OF love
to Him? May He not linger over it
fondly, though we have made many

PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE.

From Southern groves of song I, listening, heard
One voice alone, in ecstacy, apart,
The rune and rapture of poets heart
Attuned to deathless melody of word.
No epic measure nor Elysian theme
OF world sin-doomed regained by cross and
PAIN
Of heroes stricken on the Trojan plain,
Or mystery of dire Dantean dream
The muse of life and nature-W ordsworth's

Or Burns among the fields and blooms of Ayr
Are Southland meadows, vale and streamless

Yet, nobler than all song or symphony,
He sought lfe's highest truth unfalterngIy.
