The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1902-01-18

The next surveyor of the port of
Lincoln will be Llewellyn l.. Lindsey.
The port of Lincoln is a government
fiction. There is no actual port here,
but there are quite a number of Lin
coin merchants who purchase goods
from abroad and for their convenience
a customs service has been established
at Lincoln, with a bonded warehouse,
Il surveyor and collector.
The office of surveyor and collector
pays 5000 a year in salary. In addi-
ton a three per cent commission is
allowed, which adds an average of
about 5000 more. The surveyor is also
custodian of the government building.
duty formerly devOlving upon the
postmaster. but for this he receives
no added compensation. The duties of
the office are not eXacting, and as the
government allows a clerk, its occu-
pant can find time to look after his
private business. if it is not too ex-
acting in character.
Mr.. Lindsey is a native of Frank
fort, Kentucky. but he has been resi-
dent of Lincoln since September, 1877.
He came to Lincoln from Chicago to
take the place of head waiter at the
Commercial hotel, then operated by
Joseph ]. Imhof. In Chicago Mr..
Lindsey was third head waiter at the
fremont house. He remained with Mr..
Imhoff for a number of years, after
wards engaging in business for himself.
He is at present the proprietor of one
of the largest retail cigar and news
stores in the city.
Bud Lindsey, as he is Familiarity
known, is a natural born politician.
He began taking an interest in the
game when a boy of seventeen, and as
a reward for participation in a lively
municipal contest in Frankfort was
appointed street lighter, a contract
which he promptly sublet at profit to
himself. The only other public office
he has ever held was street commits
sioner under Mayor Frank Graham.

that office its affairs We're run in

penses of the department and added
greatly to its efficiency.
Mr. Lindsey has long been recOg
nized as one of the ablest political
tacticians in the county. He served
two years as a member of the state
committee, and during half of his resi-
dence here has been on either or both
the county and city committees. FL

the two distinguishing characteristics
of his career as politician. here are

ests. They seldom last long, ignominy
and execration being their deserved fate.
Bud Lindsey is not one of them. and
the best test of his character is found
in the fact that the better he is known
the more highly is he esteemed. Es-
pecially is this the case with those who
have known him only as the bOgie man
created by the reformers but who find
him out afterwards for what he is.
Mr. Lindsey has brains, honesty. truth
and stability.
He has helped many man in this
county and city to high places, but his
rewards have been meagre. He has
richly earned the place that is soon To
be his. and none who know him be
grudge him either the honor or the
salary.

An index to his character and stand

vote he received in the last republic

tition with such jurists as Judges
Keysor. Sedgwick and Davidson. he re-
ceived a vote rivalling theirs i'm num-
Der. The strong endorsement he re
ceived afterwards at the hands of the
state bar is only an added testimonial
to his ability and character.
Mr. Barnes has been identified with
northeastern Nebraska from her earIi-
est days. At Ponca where he formerly
resided, and at Norfolk. where he has
lived for sixteen years. no man stands
higher than Judge Barnes. At Ponca.
he served two years as county at

Mississippi has host of friends in
New Orleans who learn with deep
regret that the mslady which affects
him has not been remedied by his
visit TO the north and that he returns

recovery from the disease under

great prelate has passed the OrdIna-

that be will be spared his earthly
labors for years to come. II this
hope should prove fallacious we may
rest certain that a useful life has

Bishop Thompson has led nota-

NO LOVE FOR THE NEGRO
Chicago School Children Object to
a Negro Teacher.

Chicago, H., nov. 6.-Cries of
derision, intermingled with cat calls
and jeers, greeted William Hodges,
principal of the Andrew Jackson
school, today. Two policemen at
tempted to prevent the outburst,
but the presence of the bIuecoats had
no terrors for the 200 or more boys
and girls, and they continued to eX-
press themselves as they pleased.
A full-fiedged strike" is on in
room No. 3, and the pupils paraded
the streets in the neighborhoOd of the
school and make known tD everyone
that they would not return until
their grievance Is righted.
The trouble originated several
days ago when Julie Brown, a negro
teacher, appeared in lhe school to
take the place of Miss Jane McKeon.
who bad been suspended. The
children held an Indignation meet
ing during the recess hour today,
and decided that they would make
matters unpl 9asant for the new
teacher.
Upon their return to the room a
soft voice, coming from seemingly
nowhere, sung derisive song. The
rebellious boys were joined by the
girls, aud soon q scene of general
disorder was manifest. Principal
Hodges failed to succeed in restor-
ing order, and when the room
was dismissed every boy and girl
made 2 vow that no negro woman
could teach them.
Then the situation became alarm
ing. Windows were broken and the
sides of the school building were
splashed with mud. Stones were
thrown at the windows and nearly
score were shattered by the appar-
antly angry youths.
Several policemen were sent to the
scene. The strikers sought refuge in
every known hiding place in the
neighborhood, and no arrests were
made.
