WITH LABOR UNIONS.
There Is Considerable Activity APP
parent i'm This City.

The two new unions of brewery workers
the drivers and stablemen and the firemen
and engineers-met yesterday at Central
Labor Union Hall and added a large num-
Der of names to the list of members. The
contract entered into between the unions
and the breweries goes into effect Jan. 1,
and the next meeting of both unions will
be held Dec. 80, at which time, 1t is
bought, there will not be an employe who
is not a member of the union.
xxx
The new BARRIERS organization has sent
for it's charter, which there is no doubt
about receiving, and during this week, 1t Is
said. there will be at least two of the shops
in the city employing only union men. The
work of securing members is progressing
satisfactorily.
The work of the organization committee
has been increased by the probability OF
an effort being made this week to organize
the carriage workers at the Parry cart
works. The matter has been under con-
sideration for some time, and the near fu-
ture is thought to be favorable to the sue
cess of the effort. The matter of a union
among the telephone operators is one which
will be looked after before the end of the
month. The recognition by the Federation
OF Labor of similar unions has given the
impetus to the movement.
There will be no more regular meetings
Of the Central Labor Union until the Sec
ond Monday in January, though special
meetings may be called if necessary. The
executive board will meet some time this
week TO consider matters relative to or
ganization of new unions.

Central Labor Union occurs on the nex1

THE BRAMBLE AS KING.


Rev. William A. Quayle, pastor of Me-
ridian-street Church, preached TO a large
congregation last night from the text,
Then said all the trees unto the bramble,
Come thou, and reign over us" Judges
tx, IA. In part Mr.. Quayle said: There IS
nothing more consequential in life than
getting a king worthy of the name. There
fore, l say to you when you worship don't
worship joss, worship God. When you fall
in love, love somebody worthy of your love.
All monarchies are elective and when it
comes TO your soul and mine there can
be no hereditary kings. we must choose
our OWN. We cannot inherit our virtues
from our forefathers: they must be at
tanned by individual effort.
1.-The American people never appear so
great to me as on that Tuesday morning
every four years, when they go forth
TO the polls to make a king. Have We not
reason to be proud of our kings? Such
names as Washington, Adams, jefferson,
Jackson. Harrison, Cleveland and McKfn-
ley do not cause our heads TO nang IN
shame. Rather do we look up with pride,
for We lave lone exceedingly well. Some
people elect a bramble for their king-a
thing that stands for all that is inconse-
q~uential and bad. They are the tricksters
in life. They are constantly wanting to

ability they become notorious.
There are charlatans who are constant
1y trying to impose on the world. trying
10 make il believe they have brains when
in fact they are but fakes pure and simple.
Such a man was Oscar Wilde. who died
a short time ago, and should have been
dead long before. He was the worst speci-
men of a charlatan that ever knew. The
man who makes charlatanism his king
some time or other becomes shipwrecked
and his career is ended without having
BILE of smartness for king, and by smart
ness / do not mean the mar with the
healthy and active brain. The kind of
smartness / speak of is an awful poor
stock in trade and sooner or later brings
the subject to grief.
Then some people choose the brambie
of pleasure for king. Those who pursue
his life and live for pleasure alone have
my sympathy. 1t is a narrow life, an in
famous life and it beggars life. Il would
rather carry coal for a living than make
on its face. 1t will crackle in the flame,
but it will not warm the hand of pdnury
and need. Men are daily going to hell for
pleasure. Take my advice and don't run
pleasure down, but let 1t run after you
and if you play we'll the serious part OF
life you will have all the pleasure you
want. There are others who choose NOR
atty for king. 1t is a good banner, but
not a good king; it is a good sword, but
not a good king. Morality is not bridge
enough to carry you across the bad places
and will blow away with the first storm
God is the only King; the only rock to
which we cling. Choose Him and all great
things will come to YOU"

meant contagion, a man forthwith be-
came a doer like after the manner OF His
Master"
In closing Mr.. Milburn paid a touching
and beautiful tribute to the late William
n. Jackson. He said:
William Jackson died the other day, and
there is not a human being who knew him
who did not feel that this community had
suffered a great loss in his going. He was
a beautiful, holy, noble spirit How
sweetly he prayed, How gently he talked
to the Father, How naturally be COM
muned with the Father What a wonderful
vivid reality the Christian religion was 10
William Jackson, Not a make-believe. not
a garment, not an adaptation. not an adj
justment, but a great. a wonderful. a vital
reality in his daily living. And we all
honored him and we all revered him and We
all loved him and we all locke up to him.
Now. let us ask one thing. If William
Jackson had been a man of prayers and
not of deeds. would this community have
mourned him? He wrought his way into
our thought, he wrought his way into our
heart of hearts because, besides being a
great and beautiful dreamer, he was a
great and beautiful servant of the Lord of
Lords and King of Kings"

Sam Wheeler came over from Reno
last Tuesday. and Wednesday morning
went out to his sheep camp in Nye
county. II is his intention to drive bis
locks TO the northern part Of Elko coun-
ty, near the Idaho line. This step is
made necessary by the scarcity Of snow
in the southern country, while the ran

are said to be we'll supplied with feed
and moisture.

Der j.. W. Edwards, who for several

pleased to know that hs now has . re-
sponsible and lucrative position as chief
OF the sssaying department. Of the Moi

Edwards headquarters are at Gold6eld.
Colorado, where the main offices Of the
company are located. In an interesting
letter to Bert L. Smith, MI. Edwards
gives some idea Of the enormity Of the
business Of his company. He says at
the Anaconda office he, with four assist
ants, put through lao samples in . day
Of five hours, while ct the Victor rs
samples are treated in the same length
Of time.
Notwithstanding, the arduous duties
Of his position, Mr.. Edwards still
finds time to give considerable attention
to the Financial question, which is now
SO prominently before the country. and Of
which be has for years been . close stu
dent. He has heretofore contributed
several valuable works on this important
question. His work on "The Crime Of
'73." which was completed only 9 short
time ago, is now being used by "Coin"
Harvey for political purposes. while as q
basis for educational instruction in the
higher institutions of learning, this book
has been secured by Alexander Del Mar,
for Great Britain and the Colonies. and
Prof. Will Of the Boston University Of
Social Science. From these facts some
idea Of the value of Mr.. Edwards lite

that the plot was instigated by the Bank

here they visited the Bulwhscker and

they took away with them. Mr.. Requa
is g practical mining man, and Of course
takes 3 deep interest in the mines of this
camp. % il would be 10 the advantage Of
his company If their output were incress.

Speaking Of the proposed new line of
the Southern Pacific Mr.. Requa said if
the road was built in the manner pro.
posed the Eureka & Palisade road would
no doubt be made the connecting link
in preference to the Nevada Central line.
There are now four different companies
