A German Town in NJ: ssouri

There is one town in Missouri where
English is considered a foreign language
ana where German is taught in every
grade of public schools. The local lodge
of Odd Fellows conducts all of its rit-
ualistic work in German, and even the
few negroes who live in the town easily
talk in German. The place is Hermann,
the judicial seat of Gasconade county,
east of Jefferson City. 1t is the greatest
wine producing town in the state, if not
in the union. OF the 100000 surplus

As man has adapted different ami
mails to different uses it does not infer
that they are not subject to natural
laws. On the contrary, the subsection
Is more complete than before and, as
man has been the foster agent in
changing the characteristics of most do
nestle animals. so must the hand of
man be ever ready to render that as
s1stance SO essential to their we'll
being. The pasture, shelter and care
must be suitable for the accomplish
ment Of the purpose desired, and no
neglect can be allowed. Not only must
the utmost care be taken in selecting
the animals that suit the farm best
but the farm itself must also conform
to the animals. One should not attempt
to improve unless prepared for it, as
failure will be the result, but the prep
aration Is easily made. Better stock
means better farming, larger crops and
greener pastures With each year the
crops become better, because the system
forces them to be So But those farm
ers who 90 not possess facilities for
certain breeds of animals need not be
discouraged. as all can have a ,,riyil-
eye with some kinds that do not come
up to the requirements needed. I'm
provement should be the object with
every farmer, for even should the farm
err lag behind, the time viii arrive
when he will be compelled TO canD on
the same ground that others long be
fore occupied, but who have left it for
something better. Keep pace with the
time, and keep the flock to the best,
by breeding with thoroughbreds and
always culling from the bottom.

Indians would tear out section OF the
track, which would greatly delay matters,
as the facilities were not at hand to re-
pair they are today. Such were the
hardships OF the early rairoaders on the
Union Pacific and many OF these pioneers
will meet at North Platte at the May party
and talk over old times.
North Platte Western Metropolis.
North Platte has a population OF 5000
people and is the most thriving town IN
western Nebraska 1t is the division point
Of the Union Pacific and the branching on
place for the Union Pacific and Burlington
extensions into Wyoming Eighty per cent
OF the married men of the Union Pacific
who reside there own homes The Union
Pacific will spend 10000 in terminal i'm
provements at North Platte. Between 1900
and $500 cars are iced at North Platte
each year. 1t was stated by the committee
while in Omaha last week that the banks
Of the town were bullying with the deposits
Of the thrifty men who reside there.
The success OF the May party is assured.
The committee has done its work well and
the souvenirs will be beautiful and well
worth preserving.

Good Work Done by order.
Magnificent work has been done by the
order since its founding and assistance has
been lent TO the engineers and to other
branches OF the service. On request of
George w. Vroman in 1877 Division IS took
the initiatory steps to organize the gem
eral committee Of adjustment in accordance
with the laws, and local committees met
in Laramie in April, where the general COM
mittee was organized with G. w. Vro-
man as chairman and H. ]. Clark as sec
rotary.
The story OF the work OF the organiza-
! ton. as told by George W. Vroman, after
whom the order was named. is interesting.

and Factors.

Western Nebraska is prepared for the
silver anniversary OF the first May party
OF division IS OF the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers which will be held at
North Platte wednesday. This will be
the twenty-hfth annual May party given
by this order, and so popular have they
become that they are looked forward TO by
the western section OF the state with as
much interest as the whole state looks
forward to Ak-Sar-Ben or the horse show.
No expense is spared TO make this sf-
fair OF the highest order. and especially
this year. which Is the silver anniversary.
Up and down the line OF the Union Pa
olho the women have been preparing since
the first Of the year for this party, and
dressmakaers have had a busy time. Some
OF the women. In order not to be crowded
out IN the rush OF the last days. had their
gowns made two months ago and laid on
a shelf waiting for the big day. The town
will be crowded worse than Omaha is on
it's gala days but the goOd people OF
North Platte win meet that emergency by
throwing open their homes 20 accommodate
toe visitors. The opera house will be gaily
decorated, as will the entire city for that
matter.
An elaborate souvenir has been printed
as . memento OF the occasion. giving a
history OF the construction OF the Union
Pacific in that section, a history OF the
order and sketches Of some ~ the leading
men and founders OF the order.

stationed at Sidney. Superintendent w. A.
Deuel. the division superintendent OF the
Union Pacific, issued orders for the trans

North Platte and return without cost to Di-
vision s. An engine and three cabooses
were started out at Sidney with the band.
and the train stopped at all stations and
picked up all employees OF the company
who desired 10 attend the May party. The
train returned 10 Sidney the following day.
This courtesy on the part Of superinten-

circuit court OF appeals at ST. Louis before
Judge H. c. Caldwell, who ordered the re-
ceivers to give a hearing early In April at
Omaha, in the United States court, before
Judge Caldwell, with Judge Riner sitting
with him. The case was Of such Importance
to all organized railroad labor, that the
principal grand officers OF all railroads were
present and the court room was crowded
20 its full capacity, and all were intensely
interested in every act Of the court and
evidence of witnesses After the evidence
had all been given the attorneys for both
sides agreed TO submit the case to the court
without argument The next day, at the
morning session Of court, Judge II. c. Cald-
well ordered that the receivers should con-
duct the business OF the property under
the old schedules OF pay, in accordance
with the desires OF all employees This case
was notable as organized labor had
reached the Jurisdiction OF the highest
court Omitted States court of appeals) ever
reached in the history OF organized labor.
This great judicial victory was widely COM
mented on by the press OF the whole coun-
try as a precedent as to the rights Of labor
serving under the Jurisdiction Of a United
States court and receivers.
Following this incident, everything on the
system moved along quite well, and as the
company procured motive power OF greater
capacity the men on the system, by the
influence OF the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers and their general committee OF
adjustment procured increased compensa-
ton for running engines Of greater capacity
and handling greater tonnage per train, re-
sulting in greater profit and prosperity to
the company.

tee Of adjustment was called and
about June Is met in Omaha and con-
ferred with Mr. Klmball, who made an
effort to convince the men that the Kansas
Central was under separate management,
although they had evidence that nearly all
clerical work was done in Omaha at head
quarters and that the men were paid In
Union Pacific checks. After discussing the
question with Mr.. Kimball for a day or
two II was proposed to have tho question
arbitrated. Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Vroman
agreed upon Captain Rustin. who was at
that time general manager of the Omaha
cable street car lines. Mr.. Rustin was one
who stood very high in the estimation Of
all business men OF Omaha Mr.. Baldwin
and Mr. Vroman met Mr.. Rustin at the
Willard hotel on the 26th day Of June and
presented the mems documentary evidence
and made their oral argument before the
arbitrator, the whole being taken down by
a stenographer. On the next day, June O.
after thoroughly reviewing the evidence
the arbitrator rendered his dcision in favor
Of the brotherhood, restoring the wages Of
the Kansas Central. This was a remark
able victory Of organized labor. as this was
the first case Of a difference between rail-
road employees and railroad officials being
adjusted by arbitration.
