About Seventy-Five Shopmen at
Omaha Leave Their Work.

OMAHA. Neb., July 5.-The blacksmiths
and their helpers in the Union Pacific
shops, numbering about seventy-fve men.
went on strike to-day and joined the boiler
makers and machinists in their demands for
ar abolition of the piece-work system.
While the walkout is against the piece sys-
tenn, the immediate cause is the importation
of new men in the machine shops. The
nlasons and helpers on the new shops re-
fused TO go TO work to-day and work on
the buildings is at a Standstill. This work
is being done under contract and the
strikers are not employees of the Union
Pacific Railroad.
Other new complications came up to-day
when the electrical workers became dissat-
ished with the conditions and prepared to
walk out in case the strike is not settled.
A number of switchmen lave also declared
that they will not move any more coaches
which carry ~nOnuniOn men to the shops.
Seven of the new men who arrived to take
the place of strikers joined the latter's
ranks to-day.

True Story OF Capt. Kid.

True Story OF Capt Kid.
Out on that billowy, dark green tide
Which rolls away to the trees,
His pirate trade he busily piled,
Freebooter of bluegrass seas.
The flag he carried so bold and black.
His grandma's apron, / fear,
And of dread weapons he had no lack
They are all ON the mantel here.
That was his shining Damascus blade
Of hoop-iron-on that shelf.
This marvellous two-edged sword he
made,
And whitfield from lath himself
The sling he made from willow wand.
The spear from water reed
What weapons more could a pirate
fond
Or jolly young rover need?
That mask he wore on many a cruise;
His mother made it-of dough.
This was the trumpet he used to use
Resistless attacks to blow.
That rooster feather, a royal plume,
In his hat waved wild and free
AS the mullen stalks he sent to
doom
This Kidd Of the bluegrass sea.
And oft when the sun was shining hot
The chickens had much to fear
From the swift descent and the flying
shot
Of this dashing buccaneer,
While Puss would climb to the tree
top tall
Or else in the barn she hid.
When TO the foray old Sport he'd call
This doughty young Capt. Kidd
Now / long for the days of Capt Kidd
Though he grieved me oft and sore;
in vain sigh for the deeds he did
He has sailed to come no more.
But it's all untrue. that story told
OF treasure he buried near;
l know l hold all the captains gold
These arms on the mantel here!

The President on Effort.

Here is an extract from the MESA ge
of President Roosevelt, that may be
commended alike to those who think
organization of labor bad thing and
those who think that organization, law
or anything else can supplant individ-
ual effort: The most vital problem
with which this country, and for that
matter the whole civilized world, has
to deal is the problem which has for
one side the betterment of social con-
ditions, moral and physical, in large
cities, and for another side the effort
to deal with that tangle of far-reaching
questions which we group together
when We speak of labor The chief
factor in the success of each man
wage-worker, farmer, and capitalist
alike-must be the sum total of his
own individual qualities and abilities.
Second only to this comes the power
of acting in combination or associa-
ton with others. Very great good has
been anG will be accomplished by as
sociations or unions of wageworkers
when managed with forethought and
when they combine insistence upon
their own rights with law-abiding re-
spect for the rights of others. The
display of these qualities in such bodies
is duty to the nation no less than to
the associations themselves. Finally
there must a,so in many cases be &C
ton by the government in order to
safeguard the rights and interests of
all. Under our constitution there is
much more scope for such action by
the state and the municipality than by
the nation. But on points such as
those touched on above the national
government can act. When all is said
and done, the rule of brotherhood re-
mains as the indispensable prerequisite
to success in the kind of national life
for which we strive. Each man must
work for himself, and unless he so
works no outside help can avail him.
But each man must remember also
that he is indeed his brothers keeper
and that while no man who refuses to
walk can be carried with advantage to
himself or any one else, yet that each
at times needs to have the helping
hand outstretched to him. To be per-
manently effective aid must always
take the form of helping a man to help
himself. and we can all best help our
selves by joining together in the work
that is of common interest to ALL
