Mr.. Rockefeller acted like a boy out
of school when he turned his back upon
the somewhat gloomy brown stone pile
at 4 West Fifty-fourth street. where he
lives when he is in town, to drive to

There was smile on his face that did

married at noon today in the little
church of San Geronimo, in tho pres

about 1000 persons. including special
ambassadors from the chief coJ ltries
OF the world. The ceremony was per-
formed by Cardinal Sancha, Catholic
primate Of Spain, assisted by a number
OF high preIates, and was fully choral.
More interest was taken in toaay's
ceremony than in any other event that
has happened in Spain in many years.
The city was more crowded than at
the time Of King Alfonsos coronation
four years ago. and the enthusiasm Of
the people was much greater. Several
thousand English people came to Ma
drid for the wedding, and many Arleri-
can tourists deviated from the ordinary
beaten track Of continental travel to be
present at the festivities. Spaniards say
they have never before seen so many.

People were awakened before o'clock

first massed in front OF the royal pal

which they separated and each band
taking a different route they all march
ed through Madrid playing their instru-
mcnts with tremendous vigor.
At the same time that the city was
being awakened in this novel manner

Did Daniel Shannon. a clerk in the

was his death accidental?
To this question the police have been

fishermen about $50 o'clock this morn
ing.
Harbormaster Sutton and police Of the
Harbor precinct lean toward the belief
that the man fell from the bridge over

A SPLENDID BUSINESS.
Lincoln Merchants Well Pleased With
Their Big Holiday Trade.

The publisher of this modest little
labor paper interviewed several of it's
advertisers concerning the volume of
their holiday trade this year, and
without exception they declared it to
be the largest in the history of the
city. The Saturday before Christmas
brought trade that swamped all OF
them, even though they had prepared
for big rush.
At Thursday noon Mr.. A. H. Arm
strong smilingly admitted that the vol
ume of business up to that hour was
equal to the whole of the week before
Christmas a year ago.
Saturday evening about 8 o'clock
Mr. J. e. Miller declared that the
days business would be fully so per
mas year ago.
Mr.. H. Herpolsheimer was more
than satisfied with the business done
during the ante-holiday season. Fred
Schmidt & Bro. was all smiles over
the volume of his firms Christmas
trade. Manager Brilliant of the Ridge
ly Merchandise Co. could hardly stop
smiling long enough to express his
satisfaction, and the Lincoln Clothing
Co. managers were as happy as the
rest of them.
1t has been a good season-and a
good year. And why? Because labor
has been we'll paid. And why has la
Dor been well paid? Because it has
been we'll organized. That is the Sc
cret of the good business done.

The Lincoln Distraction Co. will

nickels that the game will pour into

Isn't it about time for the people of
Lincoln to take President Scudder by
the nape of his neck and shake him
until he sits up and takes notice?
Isn't it about time that they imbibe
a little courage and give the Distrac-

Mr.. CRABTREE DEFIANT.
Thinks He Has a cinch on His Job
and Talks Very Boldly.

iii bet $40 the labor unions can't
get my job" James Crabtree is re-
ported as say;nE.
Crabtree is an engineer at the A
street well. He may be correct in his
assumption, but the unions are going
to make a try, and if they don't get
Crabtree's job they'll get something
and don't you forget it.
Crabtree has been guilty of show
ing the basest ingratitude. A few

six months he fell from a scaffold and
broke his leg. His fellow unionists
Immediately came to his assistance.
He had started to build a little cot
tage, but his accident put temporary
stop to operations. But the union car
penters donated time and money, and
before Crabtree was recovered from
occupancy-the work of good and
loyal union men.
A little later Crabtree got job as
fireman under the city administration,
and in time became an engineer. In
the meantime he had dropped out of
the Carpenters union. Last summer
he built a fiat, and every bit of the
carpenter work was done by '.scabs."
A man guilty of such base ingrati
tude is not a fit man to hold respon-
sible job under the municipality-or
anywhere else-in the estimation of
the union men of Lincoln. And they
have demanded Crabtrees dismissal.
And they are emphatic in the demand,
too. They are in deadly earnest about
it, and they are not going to let up
in their scalp hunt. If Crabtree has
any large number of twenty dollar
williams he wants to bet on the propo-
sition quoted above, The Wageworker
opines it can find him few takers.

a LITTLE HoMILY.
Those Who Benefit Most by Unionsm
Are the Least Grateful.

Many years ago, just after John J.
ingalls, had been defeated for senator
from Kansas, Mary Ellen Lease con-
tinued her rabid attacks on the dis
tingllished-and Observation-Disclosures
man. A newspaper reporter tried to
secure an interview with Mr.. ingalls,
concerning Mrs. Lease. Mr.. ingalls,
looked glum for a minute and then
said: q,
There are only two classes of peo-
pie who mutilate the dead-Indians
and women.
There are thousands of earnest wo-
men engaged in the work of unionism,
and they have been a wonderful force
in the movement. But the fact still
remains that majority of the women
take little or no interest in the work.
And the women are, of all others, the
ones who benefit most from the adj
vancement of the union cause. A lit
tie incident happened the other day
which emphasizes this Indifference on
the part of the women. There is a
Young woman in Lincoln who has a
situation in the business Office of
concern that employs only union me-
ohanics. The mere fact that it is
union shop guarantees her the situa-
zion. A union man saw her buying
copy of the unfair and rat" Woman's
Home Companion, and in very gen
tlemanly way called ner attention to
the fact that it was unfair to the
iradesmen working in the Office where
she is employed.
20, don't care a snap about that"
she exclaimed. Il like it very much,
| and 1 intend to buy it regularly. I
don't care anything about the union.
You can't interest me in that at all
And the union man, being wise in
his day and generation, and realizing
the folly of trying to make plain any
natter to such an one, merely walked
| away without venturing reply.
And yet the unions have done more
| to lift up the wage-earning women to
a higher plane than any other infiu-
| ence known to mankind. Benefitting
personally by what the unions have
| done for her sex. this young woman
| selfishly refuses to make any return
| for the assistance rendered her and
declares emphatically that she doesn't
