come to town the day Barnum's circus
was to show. Mr.. Hull, with number
OF other students, was attracted by the
loud discussion the little group INDUCED
in, and drew near to catch the theme.
over little family affair. There was
young fellow in the group. and
young woman, who had come to town
TO get married. They had bought the
license to be married, but had very lit
tie money LETT. The crowd wanted to
go to the circus. and called upon the
prospective bride and bridegroom to
give up the idea of getting married,
and thus chip in the money they had
that the entire party might see the
sights. There was Just enough money
In the cfoWdS reach to pay the justice
of the peace for conducting the mar

The couple were about decided in
their minds to give up the notion of
getting married when the students
came to the rescue. and raised a fund
sufficient not only to get them married,
but to secure carriages and take the
happy pair driving around the college
grounds and then to the circus.
Mr.. Hull declares that it the boys
hadn't done this the couple would not
have married. but would have gone to

THE OMAHA STRIKERS.

The packing house employees of
Omaha who are on strike seem to be
determined to have their way. The
country has had enough strikes for
one season, and if the Omaha men
think they can do as they please and
/ set up their mandates in place of the
law. the sooner they find out that they
cannot the better for all concerned.
When large gangs of strikers patrol
! the streets and prevent men from go
| ing to their homes from work, or vice
versa. it is high time parleying ceased
and that such gangs were dispersed
and honest workingmen allowed to at
tend to their business unmolested.
These strikers have actually assumed
to place picket line around the pack
ing houses. But this is not ALL Strik-
ers are placed at various points to in
tercept and assault employees. When
ilawless gangs of men do these
things they should not be tenn
ported with for one moment,
but the street should be cleared
These lawless gangs are getting so
bold that they will not allow workmen
to pass their lines even when accom-
panied by policemen. They seem to
invite a contest of force with the au-
thorities and it would be well to
crafty their desire and teach them
such a lesson as they will not forget,
even though such a lesson cost some
fast verging on anarchy and must be
put down when they do. so. No one
will interfere with the strikers if they
will quit work and mind their own bus
mess and allow others to attend to
theirs
This Omaha strike seems to have de-
veloped one important thing; it is that
a number of the most prominent, citi-
zens, merchants and other business
men of Omaha have signified their
willingness to act as deputies and up
hold the law This is a proper recog-
milton of civic duty and Omaha should
be proud of such citizens. It may be
necessary to call out the militia to
suppress a riot, but it will never be
necessary to call on the regular army
so long of the first citizens of a city
or state evince their readiness to re-
spond to the call of duty when the
city or state is threatened with riot or
inSurrection.
Here is the solution of these strikes
that have for their objects the dictat-
ing who snail work and who shall
not. and to enforce which the strikers
stand ready to destroy life and pro
perty. 1t may cost the leading citizens
of Omaha some temporary inconven-
fence and present expense, but the ex-
pense will be as nothing compared with
allowing gangstof men to destroy hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of property and then having to pay for
it afterwards by increased taxation.
The strikers have been allowed to
go just as far as they should and any
attempts on their part to commit fur
Their depredations should be repealed
with armed forces.
