Boat Ride in wheat Field.

Ex-State Senator Grimm OF Wilber was
here this morning with a story of boat
rides over wheat fields. Out in his neigh
borhood the water had become so high as
TO cover the large wheat fields on the
Zwonechek farm. Several of the residents
of that vicinity had secured a steamboat
with a capacity of twenty persons and had
gone down the Blue. crossed the road and
were steaming across the wheat field when
he last heard OF them.
The water was so high near the mills
east of town that II ran over the wheel and
the shafts that entered the mill. II was
here several days ago that a little work
by a man and a spade could have changed
the channel OF Blue river. Way back in
the old days Blue river made a loop near
the city OF WILDER. around what is now
known as Blue island. In later years, Just
when no Cne remembers, the course changed
and the river made almost a direct shot
across east OF the town. The only barrier
that kept the river from changing back was
q dixie thrown up which leads into the mill
Senator Grimm said I'm ffteen minutes any
one could have thrown aside enough dirt
TO have caused the road to give way. And
there are others here who wonder why the
fifteen minutes work was not done, be-
cause in the old channel nearly every sum.
mer the water becomes stagnant. which
from a sanitary standpoint is very unde-
sirable. A change back to its old course
by the river would have remedied this.
f. @. Maggi an Albion attorney. came IT
with another story of the high water. II,
arrived here this morning and thus con
eluded a trip that he has been trying e
end ever since last Saturday night Mr.
Maggi went TO Burchard last Saturda,
morning, at which place he delivered tn,
address on Memorial day. II was on tn,
road to Lincoln that he had his expert
ences. He went from Burchard to Tabl
Rock on a hand car and from Table RocI
to Lincoln on a wrecking train. The dam

the regular order. Plaintiff in error had no
briefs on file and avoided the usual order
Of afirmance by showing that the sum
mons, which was returnable at the begin
ming Of the September term, had not yet
been returned and by insisting that the
case was not yet at issue. Defendant in
error had sometime since filed his volun-
tary appearance and sought to avoid this
point, but upon the objection OF the plain
tin that 1t could not be brought in sooner
than the return day the case passed until
the September term. This is interesting,
it shows how well the court has sue
ceeded in bringing up the docket and as It
also shows the practice which will prob
ably be followed in many instances In the
future. The trial list for June 16 takes
off all the cases on the bar docket issued
January l and many besides. In other
words. the court will on June l6 call cases
for hearing which were filed February II,
1903.
Reverses Caucus Action.
In the republican primaries held hero to.
day the only contest was in the seventh
ward, where Councilman Pentzer won out
over Judge Greenlee by thirteen votes.
The former is candidate for county su-
perintendent and the latter for district
Greenlee defeated Pentzer. The result to-
day means that Speaker Mockett will be
in the convention. In the other wards of
the city there was no contest. light
vote was cast Just what the outcome OF
the convention will be no one can tell at
this time. The so-called machine is badly
divided and the antis are correspondingly
strong The main fight is for district
Judge. Tonight the machine is trying to
form a combination to control the con-
vention. The slate has been made up, and
that which stands some show of going
through is this: Judges, ]. NJ. Stewart,
c. s. Allen and Judge Frost. w. c. Phil
lips looks good for district clerk, DIR.
Barnes for assessor and Fred Kenyon for
commissioner. There is strong talk of a
combination Of the present district judges,
however which, If effected, might smash
the slate. Unless agreements are reached
tonight a redhot convention is looked for.

TEXTILE STRIKE SPREADS
Hosiery Mills at Philadelphia Are Now
Affected.
EIGHT THOUSAND MORE PEOPLE IDLE
Nearly All of Them Are women and
Children who Have Ne Union
Organization, but seek n
shorter Week.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-The strike of
the textile workers of Philadelphia for a
fifty -five-hour week spread today to
hosiery mills, tying up the textile industry
tighter than 1t has been since the great
suspension was inaugurated. Fully 5000
persons Joined the already large army of
idle workers. Most of these were women
and children employed in the hosiery mills
in the Kensington district. This class of
workers are unorganized, but they decided
to join the ranks of the unionists when
they saw the magnitude of the movement
for a shorter week. 1t is probable that
most OF the women and children will be
organized into unions.
1t was given out by the executive board
of the textile workers tonight that ten
additional firms had agreed to give theii
employees the fifty-hve-hour week. This
makes fifty-eight firms that have conceded
the demands. 1t is estimated that upward
of 10000 persons are now working under
the Conditions demanded by the unions of
the forty-nine branches of the textile in.
dustries affected by the strike.
The manufacturers who have not &C.
ceded to the unions demands, and among
them are some of the largest owners In
the industry declare that they will close
down their establishments indefinitely be-
fore submitting to the union.
