WAGES IN DISPUTE.

A question of wages has arisen be-
tween the Colorado Midland and its
employees.
During the snow blockade last winter
which lasted about three months, many
OF the crews were tied up for days in
the pass. The road allowed the men
half pay for tbs time they we're tied up
and idle, but the men claim that their
agreement with the company il that
they shall be paid in full in such cases
and as farther evidence that the Rio
Grande paid it's men in full on like
occasions.
An effort is now being made to adjust
the matter and it is thought that as Q
result new wage schedule will be-
adopsed as the one now in force is not
entirely satisfactory to either party.

Good Man Gone.

From the Blue Valley Blade, published
at Seward, Nebraska, we clip the follow
ing extracts concerning the death and
burial OF William r. Davis, the father OF
our esteemed townsman, Mr.. Frank
Davis:
William r. Davis, one of the Oldest
and most highly respected citizens Of
Seward passed away little after
o'clock Sunday afternoon, July %, 1899.
Mr.. Davis had been in his usual health
up to 10 O'clock Friday morning He
came up to the store as was his usual
custom and about 10 o'clock he went
home and while hitching the family
horse TO the buggy was stricken with
paralysis, it first etfecting his left hand,
gradually extending to the arm and then
to the body and brain.
DR.. Marsh was at once summoned,
and everything possible was done for
him, that could be, but be gradually
condition he remained to the end.
The children who reside away from
Seward were at once notified by tele-
graph, and Mrs. A. c. Hull of Hastings
arrived Saturday noon, and Frank reach
ed here from Grand Junction, Colorado,
Sunday forenoon, driving overland from
Lincoln, but Mesdames Roberts and
Beatty of Oklahoma City, did not reach
here until Sunday evening, several hours
after the death OF their father.
As pioneer Mr.. Davis and his excel
lent family have had an abundance of
the hard experiences OF the pioneer life,
and have seen Nebraska grow from
silderness, inhabited by buffalo and In
dians, TO rich and powerful common
wealth.
He was man of the strictest integrity
and honorable to the highest degree.
He had been a member OF the Methodist
church from the days of his youth, and
gave freely of his means to it's support.
He had held many positions Of honor
and trust, and was a member of the city

Of the city were closed from 2 to p. m.
and the great audience present at the

munity. The contribution of flowers
was profuse and beautiful. The Grand

that there were big crowds upon the

EASTER SUNDAY.

With today the world puts off its sober
hue-drops the drab of winter for tht
light and color of spring.
In this latitude, it is curious coin
cidence that the anniversary of the Re
surrection should fall at time when
animate nature is being revivified. Life
and religion thus cooperate to make
Easter Sunday a day of gladness.
From the point of view of the Chris
tian church it must always be day OF
deep Significance because it recalls the
founder For what were the meaning
Calvary without the assurance of an
Immortality through the resurrection!
1t must not be supposed however, that
Easter is exclusively Christian insti-
tuition for the ancient Greeks used to
celebrate the day with the cracking OF
ergs. as is the custom of the youth of
today while the Druids, to whom we
owe so many of our customs, decorated
their temples with flowers, long be-
fore the advent Of Christianity into Brit
ain.
Around Easter there has grown up
wealth of folk lore and customs Sec
end, perhaps, only to those of Christmas
day.
Easter customs, sports and supersti-
ions afford a wide field of interest. While
many of them have existed almost from
the first celebration eff this festival and
are found among Christians of all ma
tionalities there are others which are
peculiar to people and places.
But among all nations it may be
doubted that there is any more appro-
pirate observance of the day than that
which prevails with us-an observance
i'll which music and flowers play so
prominent part.
