Saying Little About St. Louis, But
Thinking Some Warm Thoughts
Local printers are not saying much
about the ST. Louis matter, but they
are thinking some thoughts warm
enough to cause hot sQuirts." st.
Louis was a party to the recent six
city convention and signed an iron
clad agreement not to enter into any
contract before submitting it to the
executive board and securing its ap-
prevail. Two or three weeks later the
st. Louis bunch play Benedict Ar
mold. The mean feature about it is
that it was in st. Louis a year ago
that the eight-hour law was formally
declared in effect, and the st. Louis
fellows were shouting themselves
hoarse in approval. Undoubtedly
there will be an investigation, and it
may develop that several leaders"
who were figuring on investing in real
estate will come to another conclusion
very suddenly.
Billy Wright took out his travel
ed for Denver. Mrs. Wright is now in
the mountain city in search of health,
and BILLY" wants to be in the immed-
late neighborhood. He has been print
ing in Lincoln for SO long that the
old town will seem unfamiliar without
him. However he left a reminder be-
hind him-a fragrant pipe which has
been suitably inscribed and suspend
ed upon the inner walls of the Star
ad room.
Arthur Bowman, an expert operator
and a young traveller of renown, has
been hitting the keys for "Doc"
RICHTER for the past week. More
years ago than the editor cares to
recall, Bowman was hustling galleys
on the World-Herald, while the writer
was chasing the elusive police court
item for the same paper.
Ollie Nickel is taking a vacation
and is somewhere else doing things
calculated to make him forget the key
board.
H W. McQuitty is assisting in the
office of the Fighter Linotype Compo-
sition company.
T. Jefferson Dunn is waiting for
the Journal to get things squared
around in the machine room before
resuming the task of learning how to
manipulate one of Otto Mergenthal-
er's contraptions, and in the mean
while is helping out in the Independ-
ent job shop. The Independent is get
ting out handsome advertising souv-
enir program of the Railroad Brother
hoods picnic at Seward on July 4.
Jimmie Leaders, farm is looking
fine-so he says. His only trouble is
that he can not prevail upon his po-
tato vines to climb the handsome
trellis he erected for their benefit. He
is of the opinion that the scotsman
sold him the wrong kind of potato
seed.
Let the printers bear in mind that
the next social of Capital Auxiliary
will be held at BOhanon's hall We'd
nesday evening, June "a. 1t will be
strictly all right and altogether lovely.
Bert O. Wilson, foreman of the
Western Newspaper Union, who has
been sick for some time, is again up
and around and feeling like the Bert
of old-always happy and always hust-
ling.
Ed Howe and I'VE editor-gee, that's
a familiar expression!-went fishing
one certain day this week. 'Ye edi-
tor" caught very bad cold and Ed
secured numerous bites, mostly on the
face and neck. We stop the press
to officially announce that II ever
there were any fish in Salt Creek
worth catching they are still there.
