CARRIAGES STOPPED.
shoppers With Bundles Compelled to
Get Out and Walk.

Chicago. May 2-The cordons of
union pickets stationed on the curbing
in State street and Wabash avenue
have been supplemented greatly in
mum bers, with the result that, in spite
of the vigilance of the police, carriages
and hacks are stopped and drivers and
their fares warned against attempting
to carry purchases home from the boy
cotted stores.
store employees burdened with bun
dies are stopped and their parcels
taken from them and torn open and
searched by the pickets and union
sympathizers to see If they are at
tempting to deliver goods to custom erS
or only carrying their own property to
their homes. After assuring the pick
cts that the contents of the bundles
belong to them they are not disturbed
further.
In one instance a hired carriage was
stopped in Wabash avenue and the
occupant, a woman shopper, compelled
to get out and walk. Another woman,
with both arms full of bundles, was
caught by the skirts and stopped as
she was about to step into a cab in
State street The cab driver was
warned not to take her as fare. In
daunted, the woman walked to an
other corner where she hailed a sec
ond cab. Again she was stopped by
the union synpathizers. Finally she
boarded a street car.
Only lew udChS OF CdDS venture
to drive up to the entrances to any of
the State street stores. In most cases
the drivers requested their passengers
to alight on the opposite side of the
street and walk over to their destina-
ton.
With one exception none of the State
street stores attempted to make deliv-
cries in the residential districts yes
terday, although at all the boycotted
establishments assurances were freely
given that the wagons would start
out today.
With few exceptions the liveries
generally refuse to carry passen gers
to a bOycotted store.
The sidewalks and the surface and
elevated cars are thronged with men.
women and children carrying bundles
of all sizes and descriptions.

Jack, who played before the footlights
of the theater four years ago, but since
has seldom gone to the house, sat in
the Office and cried. Manager Euson
wept, too. as he saw the last audience
leave the theater.
This was the most widely known
play house of its kind in the country,
he said. 'The stockmen in Kansas tell
wonderful stories about Jack s. All

fellows, with their trousers tucked in
their boots, will come here and stare
in disappointment when they see that

Dearborn school stood on the site OF

K. us LAST CLASS SCRAP.
The Freshmen Give the sophomores
Decent Burial.

Lawrence, May 2.-On May day in
the University of Kansas was celebrated
the annual May pole scrap between the
freshman and sophomores.
The pole was erected early Monday
morning by the freshman and as no
sophomores, with the exception of a few
stragglers, put in an appearance, after
the whistle blew at ten o'clock the usual
hour to stop hostilities. victory was
conceded to the class of 'OS and the
sophomore class went down in history
as towards and pipers
After the usual time of fighting had
elapsed a parade of freshman, one hun
dred and fifty strong, was found who
proceeded to carry out a funeral for the
defeated and disgraced sophomores. The
band led the procession followed by a
coffin bearing the letters '07 on either
side, and the entire freshman class
bringing up the rear. The funeral
march was continued through the main
streets of town, where several speeches
were made by members of the class of
'0S. The procession now returned to the
campus and buried the dead ..soph''
with all glories of war. An eloquent
funeral Grafton was delivered over the
remains as the last token of respect to
the defeated class and as the coffin was
lowered to its final resting place three
saluteS were fred over the grave.
This was one of the most unique pa
rades ever witnessed in Lawrence and
the freshman class is to be commended
in the way in which everything was
carried out and in making this the last
class scrap in K US history the best
that ever was.

Grateful Mother Says;

"When my 1ittlegir1 was six months
old, she had eczema. We had used
cold creams and all kinds of remedies,
but nothing did her any good; in fact,
she kept getting worse I used to
wrap her hands up, and when I would
dress her, I had to put her on the table,
for l could not hold her. She would
kick and scream, and when She could.
she would tear her face and arms
almost to pieces. I used four boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, two cakes Of Cuti-
cura Soap, and gave her the Cuticura
Resolvent, and she was cured, and I
see no traces of the humour left. I can
truthfully say that they have saved
her life, and I should advise auv one
suffering as she did, to give Cuticura

Some two months ago Rev. H. V.
Rominger of the Congregational church
handed in his resignation as pastor, but
the church felt very 10th to accept of it.
He has put in about four years of
earnest and faithful. labor. He has
carried forward several valuable i'm
provements OF the church property and
has been very liberal as a personal
glver, in support Of these enterprises.
He is recognized as an able minister of
the Gospel being f~orccful and logical
Interpreter of the word Of God. At a
special meeting of the church called by
the committee to whom the matter was
referred, after some deliberation 1t was
voted to accept his resignation. His
pastorate will end about October l.os.
The wish and thought Of the church is
that blessings and great prosperity NAV
follow him in his new field OF labor.
The past week the state geological
surveying party disbanded in Dickinson.
Prof {. H. Clapp OF the state university
had charge of this work and had with
him Marshall Brannon OF ahis city and
Herbert Goodall of Bathgate. The

locating clay deposits. There are
many fine clay deposits in This part of
the state, some OF which are we'll adapted
to the manufacture Of pottery. Prof
Clapp has secured many specimens
which he will have shipped to the
school of mines at the university for
testing. The report covering this work
also a detailed report on the different
brick manufactures of North Dakota,
the field work for which Prof. Clapp
will make next season, will be pub.

How nan people in our community

Isn't it a sad but stern fact that many of

a bulwark against wrong and a fort on
the side of right for the weaker and
smaller to help them in their strenuous
efforts for right against wrong, are a
stumbling block and cause Of offence
which at once makes us culpable both
from a legal and moral standpoint?
Let us be men and women and face facts
fairly and if need be right about face for
the good of all concerned. We need
