A Character Sketch.

have 10 mind a man. large and
portly, with mouth and lungs fully
proportionate to his size, who has used
them so frequently and forcibly during
his long residence in lincoln that some
ilinatured critics have STYLED him Bag
o Wind"
He came here in an early day. He
accumulated property and prospered
during boom times. He built several
large blocks, mostly with money fur
nished by eastern loan companies. He
was one Of our prominent citizens.
While times were good and money easy
to make he was happy, contented to
blow" OF himself and his doings and
with no time to devote TO the mistakes
and shortcomings of his less fortunate
fellow citizens. All this was harmless.
Then came the crop failures, panic
and hard times. Property deprecated
and our friend found himself, in com
pany with many others, not SO rich az he
had fondly supposed himself to be. The
value had melted out OF his brick
blocks and outside lots and he found
himself with deficiency judgments and
bankruptcy staring him in the face.
Right here this mans character land he
Is only type OF number of former
prominent citizens began to develop.
First he began to complain OF taxes and
to went to reform the party in which he
had formerly been lone OF de gang"
Then he found that he was 'agiu the
corporations" and fought them steadily
and persistently with all the vigor and
lung power OF true reformer until sud-
denly he stopped short in his opposition.
Since then ill-defineC rumo.s Of mir-
ing deal in which both he and the "cor-
pOrations" are interested have been
floating around and people smile know
ingly when some uniformed man asks
why Mr.. - is no longer kicker,
and winks the other eye. a bankrupt
himself, he takes especial delight ia the
misfortunes of others OF his fellow
citizens. He is the first man and the
loudest to proclaim that so an l-so has
had to transfer his property or that this
bank or that business house has had
losses or is having hard time. There
have been failures and misfortunes
enough here in Lincoln, Heaven kIows,
and now when the business men who
have gone through the struggle and
strain OF the last three years sue ,essfully
and are still st-aining every nerve 70
maintain not only their own credit and
business, but the credit and good name
OF our city. and when the business men
of Lincoln should stand shoul Ter to
shoulder, ready to take advantage Of the
returning prosperity. this man,
and men Of his ilk, stand
on our street corners bowling
calamity, gossipiDg about those who
still have some business OF their own to
attend TO and WORK as hard to circulate
every idle rumor that comes to them as
if they were paid salary for it.
There are a number OF mea in Lincoln
like the subject of this sketch, and they
form today the greatest obs. acle to a
return of business prosperity. Why
can't they go Ia work or move to some
more favored spot, or at least keep their
mouths shut and give the men who havs
not yet laid down" chance t. redeem
the fair name of our city and brig b cx
at leas. part Of our former prosperity.

MEDALS FOR LIFE SAVERS.
Tho VIII Ne Awarded 70 All who Inper
Their Own Lives to save others from rowai

They Will No Awarded 70 All who InperiI
Their Own LiVea TO save Others from DrowninE.
WAsH1NaToN, juno 2o.-Tho Secretary of the
Treasury has issued q circular announcing that
hereafter q moro liberal method will be pursued
In awarding Government medals for heroic ex-
ertions in saving life on tho waters of the
United States. A number OF acts providing for
granting lifoeaving medals have been passed by
Congress, but the authority given tho Secretary
OF tho Treasury to make the awards was vague,
and Attorney-G General Olney was asked two
years ago for an opinion constituting their pro-
visions. Mr.. Olney held that medals could be
awarded only to members of Government crews
who had rescued others from browning In the
vicinity of q lfe-saving station, life-boat station,
or house of refuge.
Congress at It's last session passed a law con-
STRUNG the several acts in q broader manner,
and tho circular OF Secretary Gage says that the
medals will be given to rescuers, whether men,
bers OF Government crews or not. who endanger
their own lives or make signal endeavors in
rescuing or succorinR the shipwrecked and saw
ing persons from drowning in the waters over
which the United States has jurisdiction. and
not merely in the vicinity OF lifeboat stations,
nfesaving stations, and houses of refuge. Sat-
isfactory evidence from eye witnesses, backed
by af6davits, must DO furnished in each case
where application for the award Of q medal has
been made.
