GUNTER'S SWEETHEART
She Left Him Gold and Silver Mines
Estimated to Be Worth
|H9.--s ~..
$4,000, 900. /.
Special to The Journal.

Lincoln, Neb., April 25.-From an in
come of $45 month as an oiler on the
Burlington railroad to the sole ownership
Of two gold and silver mines near Butte,
Mont, estimated to be worth IS, 100000, is
theB pipe dream that has just come true
for George w. Gunter of Lincoln.
The bequest came unexpectedly and
from curious source-a, former sweetheart.
Years ago Gunter and the girl were en-
gagged. Something came between them,
and, altho there was no actual breach,
they drifted apart.
She married a man who afterwards
struck it rich in the Montana fields. A
year ago he died, just four months after
Gunter had married a second love. The
rich widow visited Gunter a few months
ago. She was then on her way to a Kan
sas City hospital, where she afterwards
died under the surgeons knife.
zGunter was stunned to hear few days
ago that Mrs. Pingen, the widow, who was
childless and bereft of kin, had left him
everything as a token of their early love.
He to-day received official confirmation.
He leaves tomorrow for his former home
at Denver, and will proceed from there
to Butte,

Shaffer Of the Amalgamated Iron, Steel

This, the twenty eighth convention of

take the first step leading to complete dis
solution and complete extirpa ton, or place
our feet upon the primal round from

strength and power than that attained in
our history or reached by any labor Or
ganization.
This does not mean that we shall have
greater numerical strength or a larger
treasury than other organizations, but it:
does mean that We must determine
Whe Their this con Henaion shallgs decide
! whether the employer is our enemy or;
our friend and partner. He has invested
his money, his time, his experience and
business sagacity. We have invested our
time, experience, skill and physical eff
forts, and~frOm mutual Investment there
should come to each a fair share of the
proceeds or profits derived from them.
The investor of capital has certain
rights which we must grant, but at the
same time he must recognize and grant
to us conditions which belong to us, be-
cause without our cooperation he can
not succeed. and as a corollary we shall
be without employment if he be not with
u.s.
1.-THE time has come, and I believe it is
propitious, when capital and labor, in Or
gained capacities, must unite to oppose
and defeat the purposes Of their COM
mon enemies. This union has been
started, but has not yet attained the

The arrival at the capitol was at $3.50.
The governors room had been prepared
for the occasion. The casket was depos-
tied in the center of the room. Over it
hung a life-sized painting, like, and yet
strangely unlike the STILL cold face within.
Red and white roses were draped about
the painting, and a wreath of American
Beauties hung over it. Heaped on the
casket were lilies and roses, smilax,
lilies of the valley, palms and ferns.
The windows were banked high with
flowers, and the walls almost hidden with
palms. A silver plate at the head bore
a simple inscription:

has returned from New York after spend

and he confirms the report that as to the
general run of bankers and business men
in the metropolis they are glad of the
decision. They were shocked at first,
but they think the shock has cleared the
atmosphere. Some Of the friends of the
president are exceedingly indignant over
these attacks of the Sun, but others
think they will do the president more
good than harm. These officials hold the
view that assaults on the president by
trust-owned newspapers will rally the
mass of the people to his support.
