NEWS FROM INDIAN LAND

1t Is estimated that at least
six couples are to be married in
this section before the new
years seen. 1t is sad for me
who am not one Of them. But
I shall give my opinion on the
subject that all may know 1 do
not disapprove Of their actions.
Single blessedness, in my opin-
ion, is tallacy. The lonely
life of a bachelor is a state of
penance, and the sooner the
solitary creature obtains an in.
diligence in the shape of a good
wife the better for him. The
best Of us is but a moietv of a
man-an imperfect being-un
til he is completed and embel
lished by the addition of a better
half. The fact is, we are all
vagrants until the ladies have
taken pity on us and given us
an onject in life and a home of
our own. | realize these facts,
and mention them for the bene
fit of the rest Of the unmarried
friends around us, in the hope
that we may improve upon the
hints | give, and soon afford
our friends an opportunity to
offer US the same congratula
tions that we affectionately ten
der to them and their brides.
Mr.. Vance H. Webb, of Con
cord, N. c., formerly of Pleas
ant Valley, and Miss Mary Kate
Fulgium, Of Wilson, NC, were
married on the 14th inst. They
spent Saturday and Sunday
with relatives III the Valley.
They have two worlds before
them--the general world to
which we all belong, and a little
domestic world Of their own,
with the joys of which no
stranger can intermeddle-even
adversity cannot permanently
blight or darken the Eden that
mutual love creates. 1t is mis-
fortune--proof; and while.
hope that their future lives may
be full of sunshine, | feel that
If a cloud should now and then
shadow the path they pursue,
ELECTION will give it a silver
lining / congratulate him on
his good fortune in having Sc.
cured such a treasure, and wish
him and his fair bride all the
blessings with which a union
Of hearts and hands can posi-
bly, be crowned.

Secrets of Success

A certain fellow who answered advertise
ments In cheap story papers has had some
interesting experiences. He learned that
by sending 81 to a Yankee he could get a
cure Tor drunkenness. And he aid. II
was to take the pledge and keep it,"
Then he sent fifty 2-cent stamps to find
out how to raise turnips successfully. He
found out-"Just take hold of the tops and
pull"
Being young, he wished to marry, and
sent thirty-four 1-cent stamps to a Chicago
firm for information as to how to make
an impression. When the answer came Il
read, "Sit down on a pan Of dough" Il
was a little rough, but he was a patient
man, and thought he would yet succeed.
Next advertisement he answered read.
How to double your money in six months"
He was told to convert his money into bills.
fold them and he would see his money
doubled.
Next he sent for twelve useful household
articles and he got a package of needles.
He was slow to learn, so he sent 81 to
find out How to get rich" Work like
the devil and never spend a cent" and
that stopped him.
But his brother wrote to find out how 10

to use a lead pencil.
He paid 81 to learn how to live without
work and was told on a postal card, Fish

The strike is having considerable effect
upon the retail trade of the city, ~particu-
larly from the fact that few OF the larger
stores can deliver purchases, either having
contracts with transfer companies or being
directly involved in the strike of the team
drivers union. At the same time the small
grocery in the suburbs is reaping a harvest,
as a great part OF the trade which previ-
ously went down town now goes to 1t, be-
cause the team drivers have not as yet
brought the delivery men at the single-line
stores into the union and they are able to
deliver goods.
A conservative estimate OF the men now
out Of employment places the number at
about 1900, divided among the thirteen
unions directly affected as follows: Team
drivers, 1850; carpenters, 400; hod car
riers, 800; walters, ESQ; bricklayers, 10:
freight handlers, 100; horseshoers, rs;
plasterers, electrical workers, drain layers
and cooks, each, 80.
A considerable number Of the persons
involved in the strike have left the city
temporarily and a smaller lumber, perhaps,
permanently. or the permanent removals
a few OF the bricklayers have gone to San
Francisco, Denver and Salt Lake, a num-
Der OF the walters to eastern and western
cities and a number OF the carpenters 10
the west. OF the larger number of those
temporarily absent bricklayers have gone
to Des Moines and other Iowa towns, a large
number OF walters to the summer resorts.
ana a comparatively few Of the team driy-
ers to grading camps and railroad con-
struction. Many Of the hod carriers and
building iaborers have started "Pingree"
patches OF gardens over the city, and one
man has planted such a garden that he
says he expects to make more money This
year than he would have done had he fol-
lowed his usual occupation.

Methodist hospital on Cunning street, which
was to have cost 500, 600 in present con-
struction, but this was withdrawn from
the market when it was found that the
strike would not be settled early in the
season. The Clarkson Memorial hospital
has plans for the erection of a large build
ing adjoining its present quarters on the
east, the work to have been done this year,
but it is now expected that it will go over
for twelve months, as will probably the
new apartment house of H. G.. Plunkett
on Thirteenth street; the new Baptist
church, the new Christian church, the new
building for the Monmouth Park school.
Ever since April / work has been sus-
pended on the new market house and the
Auditorium, while a large number of small

houses which were to have been built have
been postponed until next year. The mem
beTs Of the hod carriers unions do not look
upon the loss of work this spring as a
total loss. The president of one of their
unions says: There is just about 50 much
work to be done in Omaha every season.
II it is not done in the spring it is done
in the fall and work can be carried on here
generally until late in the winter, so while
we may be idle now We will be busy at
those times when We usually are idle or
doing something besides work on buildings.
Neither are the contractors losing money.
They are but postponing the day of their
activity. Neither men nor employers can
lose anything unless the work is done by
other hands, and we are satisfied to wait. 3"
