known to many Nebraskans and figures
quite prominently in many philanthropic
and benevolently inclined organizations.

giles vibrate through local, county and state

Equal Suffrage associations; at present as
assistant superintendent Of the Nebraska
Children's Home society, with its multi
piled routine Of duties and jurisdiction
reaching over middle and western parts of
the state, Miss Lloyd scarcely needs an in

realm Of dramatic art many states and
chautauquas claim her and this is the main
spring Of the present enthusiasm created
among the oratorical loving populace of her
own Hastings district and Children's Home
society. Miss Lloyd is without question one
of the coming women Of the state.

Old Age Pension.

Berlin, June l7.-Emperor William is
considering the extension of the old age
pension legislation. Conversing with q
recent American visitor about the condi.
ton of labor in the United States, his
majesty said he was determined to make
employers contribute to the support oi
tlieir work people when the latter were
old and invalided. They should not be
thrown aside like old shoes after having
given all their best years to their en-
ployers' interest. Germany already has d
fairly comprehensive old age scheme in
operation. What the emperor apparently
intends is to secure enough to keep the
aged people beyond want. OF course, they
will have to contribute a portion of their
wages throughout their lives, which the
state will invest, supplemented by a reg
ular quota from their employers.

Scranton. Pa, June lS.-Nearly 100
fire bosses in the mines in the Lackawan-

spection Monday, in compliance with an
order from strike headquarters asking
them to quit and thus assist the strikers

fire bosses who did not quit today are con.
