One of our exchanges discusses the
advisability Of putting mirrors in troll
Icy cars. The experiment was tried
recently and every woman that enter
ed the car and got up to get of had to
stand moment and adjust her hat

range her toilet. II was discovered by
the management that oars with the

glasses were usually on time. They

FARMERS PICNIC
POSTPONED

The disagreeable weather conditions
OF week past ON Saturday cuiminat.
ed In an atmosphere Of such remark
able humidity rs to make physical
comfort ont Of the question even for
those who were wholly at leisure.
The day began with rain and rain fell
at intervals during the day, the sun
which shone occasionally only contri.
buting to the general discomfort by
adding heat to the humidity.
Such was the day OH which was to
OCCUR the widely advertised Farmers
Tri County picnic at DeWi,t's Park.
The rain which continued to fall up
to nearly ten O'Clock seemed to place
Q pionio ont Of the question. By that
time the park was saturated with
water and according to indications
there WAS plenty more to come
down.
A large portion of the farming COM
munity about Oanville was represent
ed In the curbstons market. and to
these farmers it was decided by the
Committee 1t should be left to settle
whether the picnic should be called
Off or not. The farmers were consult.
ed from one end of market to another
and IL was found that with two OK.
oeptions every one was in favor of
calling the affair of aud of selecting
another date.
This measure was accordingly adopt
ed 1t was announced that there
would be no attempt to hold picnic
on that day. but shat the event would
be held on Saturday. September 2nd.
THIS. 1t was thought. settled it. but
about the middle of the afternoon
news reached Danville that several
hundred farmers had assembled at the
Park and were having a good time. As
was natural the news Of the postpone
ment had not been heard over more
than q mere fraction Of the big terri
tory represented. The farmers simply
used their Judgment in the matter and
when 1t frightened mp during the
forenoon some decided to take the risk
and started for the picnic.
Among those who gathered at the
Park were some who had driven many
miles. They ate their dinner in the
woods and had as good a time as pos
sibls under the circumstances. Dur
ing the showers they crowded in
the pavilion. About 8 O'Clock the or
ohestra went over in response to re.
quest and some dancing followed.
To say that the picnic bore any
ssmblanoe to success. however, would
be to overstate the faot and there we're
probably none present but ooinoided
with the Committee that the picnic
ought to be repeated. This, then was
the unanimous agreement and the All
nounoment was made that the picnic
will be repeated on Saturday. Septem.
ber aud at DeWitt's Park.
Judging by the enthusiasm and the
large number that TUNED out in the
face o: the unfavorable weather con-
ditions 1t is believed that had the day
been fair the as-emblsRe of people at
DeWitt's Park would have broken all

ence between Colorado and South Da-'
kota republicanism, after all. The
lawmakers and state officials care,
more for the welfare of one business

And why? Well, they know that, no
matter how the rights of the toilers
are trampled under foot, the fools can
be depended upon to march to the polls
next election day and divide their
votes between the republican and dem
ocratic. candidates. So long as the
wage workers do this, they are not
considered dangerous to the best In

learn that they must send workfngmen
to the legislatures they will get what

THE TRANSFERS.

Transfers Union No. 44O has
changed its meeting night to Monday
and now meets regularly at Carpen-
ters' hall. Business Agent Mcknight
maintains an Office at the hall, and
may be reached by either phone.
At called meeting of the Union
last Tuesday afternoon John Ander-
son was endorsed for appointment as
street commissioner. Mr.. Anderson,
who is member of the union, has
served one term as street commission
Ell under Mayor Adams.
Bert Corner has been endorsed by
the Transfers for appointment as as
sistant street commissioner.
Frank Blade showed up at the c. l..
u. meeting Tuesday night. I've got
new boy down at my house." said
Blado in response to query as to his
whereabouts for the past six weeks,
and it has taken me month to get
acquainted with him. I'll be with you
regularly after this-maybe."
Samuel D. Moran, a member of the
Transfers Union. met with serious
accident last Monday night while re-
turning from union meeting. While
returning home on an East o car he
was seized with sudden attack of
heart failure and fell from the car
striking on the back of his head. He
was taken to the o street engine house
and then to his home, and his injuries
dressed. The chief danger to Mr.. Mo-
ran lies in his weak heart action.
While the union is making slow
progress in securing recognition from
the employers there is no sign of trou-
BILE visible, and the outlook is good.
The union labors under many difficult
ties, the chief one being the inability
to convince men who should be easily
convinced that they would be bene-
fitted by coming into the union. There
are fully 400 men in Lincoln engaged
in team work, and only about 1875 of
them belong to the union. The nom
unionists are being benefited by the
work of the union and should be will
ing to help bear the expense of main
tanning present conditions.

X THE LABEL LEAGUE.
\
kkkkktHtkkkkkk

Six new members were taken into
the Womans Label League last Mon
day night, and several new applica-
lions We're read. The attendance was
better than usual, too. and there were
some warm talks made. A little mis-
understanding relative to the purchase
of supplies for the recent social was
cleared away, and good feeling re
stored all around. M
Mrs. Alice Kent, president of the
League, was elected delegate to repre-
vention to be held in Chicagosin June.
The local body went on record
against holding annual conventions ex-
cept on call by referendum vote, and
the delegate as instructed to use every
means to secure the election of inter
national officers by the referendum
method.
There seems to be trouble on be-
tween the international president and
some of the other officers, and madam
president seeks to set aside a plain
provision of the constitution by a ref
| erendum vote of the membership at
large. She asks the membership to
vote not to hold an annual convention
in Chicago next June, but postpone it
until 1906. She argues that it will cost
too much to hold one this year. The
Lincoln body has not yet learned how
| to annul the constitution, hence will
not vote on the question submitted
by the president.
| The attention of the Leagues mem
| bers is again called to the fact that
| the strike against the Washburn-C eros
| by flour is still on, despite rumors to
the contrary. 1t is impossible to make
good union bread out of Washburn-
| Crosby flour.
There are four union broom fac
tories in Nebraska. The Wageworker
has written each of them, explaining
that Lincoln offers a good field for
business providing they come after it
in the right way.
The social committee reported at
Monday nights meeting, and every
body was pleased with the report and
with the social. The social promises
| to be of great profit to the League.
