TOO MUCH BOOZE.
Negress Loads Up on Fire Water
and Proceeds to Make

Sarah Lindsey, a negress, occu-
pies cell at the county jail as the
result of an overindulgence in local
option booze late Sunday afternoon.
After becoming beastly drunk she
thought she had religion and pro
ceeded to alarm the neighborhood
with her shouts. Sheriff Forbes and
Jailer Clark went to her house on
Jackson street to place her under
arrest and found that she was too
drunk to walk. Jailer Clark was
sent back to the stable for a buggy
in which to convey the woman to

have accomplished the, things which
have produced the greatest good for
all the people, got their inspiration
because they kept close to the masses.
Rarely does the vision come to the
man who spends all of his time in
the seclusion of the study. His touch
on life is so slight, and his under
standing OF the needs of men SO made
quate, that his outlook extends only
to the. limits of his own life and his
own narrow experience. 1t is only as
a man comes into contact with others
fuller, and it is out of this fullness
that he is enabled to speak concern
ing the greater problems of life.
No class of men have broader
experience than the common people"
no class knows quite SO well what
it means to toll and to suffer and to
sacrifice. None have higher aspira-
tions and none exhibit deeper conse-
Grafton. 1t is because of this tha;
God speaks through men.
Sometimes their expression of God s
will is crude. Sometimes it comes as
shock to men who have become ac-
customed to things as they are, who,
quite satisfied with present conditions,
are unwilling to be made uncomfort.
able by change which may mean a
readjustment in their method of living
and in their way of doing business
But to stand in the way of progress is
futile. 1t may be that it is necessary
to oppose certain features-man-mad
and man-inspired-which have crept
into the plans which the people pre-
sent, but back of them all and be-
meath them all will be found the hand
of God.
| This has been proven in history
In every great fight for the right and
for progress, the leisured classes, the
so-called upper classes, have been on
the wrong side of the battlefield. The
common people-the men of uncom
mon sense-to these the world owes a
debt of gratitude
If you would hear the voice of God
keep close to the people.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS LOSE TWO
Two Lincoln Linemen Meet Death on
the Same Day

Two Lincoln Linemen Meet Death on
the Same Day.
Charles Zimbelman and John WHEEL
an, both members of the Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, Lincoln Local
No. 265, were killed last Wednesday.
Zimbelman was electrocuted at the
power house of the Lincoln Gas &
Electric Light Co., and Whelan was
dashed to his death from the top of
a 30-foot pole while working on the
Home Telephone Co.'s line at Be-
atrice.
Zimbelman was killed between and
10 o'clock in the morning. The exact
time is not known as no one witnessed
the awful accident. He Was alone in
the cupola of the power house en-
gagged in cutting in some wire switches
when death came. When discovered
by fellow workman Zimbelman was
lying face down on the floor, a live
wire grasped in each hand and his
head resting on third wire. Both

Bad luck attended the visit of the

Colorado Springs last week. Five hum

De fed in relays standing up. The
;our of Colorado Springs in autos and
carriages had to be abandoned. The
program of addresses was necessarily
eurtailed. But the visit will have the
Intended effect. The visitors saw
enough to convince them that the
Home proposition is a great success,
and doubtless influence other trades
unions to follow the example set by
the Typographical Union. The Boston
convention of the l. T. U. appropriated
$1,000 to defray the expenses of enter
tanning the Federation delegates.

Called Meeting of Labor Temple Di-

The directors of the Labor Temple
Association were called to meet last
Monday night, but only two of the
dozen showed up. AS a result no meet
ing was held. Another effort will be
made to meet next Monday night at
Chaplain & Ryan's barber shop, on
North Twelfth street. 1t is very inl-
portant that the directors meet at
once, either to wind up. the affairs of
the association and acknowledge fail
ure. or arrange for the annual meet
ing and determine to push the work
to a successful conclusion.
The Union men of Lincoln ought to
be ashamed every time they pass
along N street between Fifteenth and
Fourteenth and see the magnificent
building erected by the efforts of a
lot of women. The Young Womans
Christian Association building is
monument to the hustling ability and
zeal of the young women of Lincoln

hands wererburned. the 'bonesand the
right side of his face was burned
through to the skull. Before the body
could be touched the currents had
to be cut off below. The body was
viewed by Coroner Matthews as soon
as he was notified and then removed
to an undertaking establishment. The
inquest was held Thursday morning
and the body taken to Boone, Ia. for
by a brother of the dead man
who came to Lincoln as soon as noti-
fed. Zimbelman's home was in Boone,
la. A card in his pocket showed him
to be member of the Knights of
Pythias, Boonsboro Lodge No. 324, of
Boone. He was also a beneficiary
member of the Electrical Workers.
The local lodge held a special meet
ing Wednesday night and arranged to
do its part in the last services over
the body of the dead conlrade. A
committee of two was appointed to
accompany the remains to Boone.
John Whalen, who was killed at
Beatrice, was working at the top of a
30-foot pole, and by some accident
came in contact with a live wire. The
shock loosened his hold and he fell
to the sidewalk, breaking his neck
and smashing his head horribly. An
inquest was held Wednesday night
and the remains taken to York, Neb.,
Thursday for interment. Whalen had
not been a member of the Brotherhood
long enough to entitle him to benefits,
but the local will see to it that every
honor is paid to the dead comfade.
