BIG COMBINE
FOR WILMINGTON
The Harlan and Bethlehem Steel
Cos. to Build Steel Cars.

Wilmington, Del, Aug. 12-It was
announced at the Offices Of the Harlan
C Hollingsworth corporation, in this
city, that the local concern and the
Bethlehem Steel company had been
consolidated into one company for the
purpose of establishing in Wilmington
a plant for the manufacture of steel
passenger coaches and all kinds of
steel freight cars. The name of the
new company has not been determin-
ed. neither was the amount at which
it is to be capitalized stated.
The announcement followed visit
of Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel company, and the
directors of that concern. They con
ferred with the directors of the local
company and the merger was then de-
termined.
The Harlan plant here will be re-
built and enlarged and the biggest car
shops in the country erected. 1t is esti
mated that from 1900 to $4,000 men
will be employed. Work on the plant
will begin at once. The Bethlehem
Steel company will make the steel and
the cars will be erected in the local
plant

in one OF the legislative chambers, Mr..

IN one of the legislative chambers, Mr..
Bryan held an informal reception
Lincoln enjoyed a day probably such
as it never had before, for no previous
notification was ever attended by so
comprehensive celebration. The
business men of the city co-operated
with the duly appointed officials in
making the day a gala time in every
detail. American flags and bunting
were everywhere, and as early as 10
o'clock in the morning public band
concerts were held in the capitol
grounds in Government square. At
noon a luncheon was rendered Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Kern and the notification
committee at the Lincoln hotel 1t
was almost two hours later when the
committee. accompanied by Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Kern, were escorted In car
riages to the capitol grounds by a pro
cession, headed by platoon of police
and the Nebraska State band.
Kern Confident of Success.
John W. Kern has every confidence
in the election of the Democratic
ticket if every man does his duty. In
speaking of the situation, Mr.. Kern
said;
Il have told Mr.. Bryan that condi-
lions are more than favorable, and
while 1t is too early to make predic-
tions, it would seem to me that from
reports received from the most CON
seryative sources that if every Demo-
crat would lend his aid in this cam
paign, as believe he will. the national
ticket will be elected This much |
feel, that Indiana is safely in the Dem
ocratic column, and while was only
a few days in Iowa, have learned
sufficient to make me believe that
Iowa is an extremely doubtful state.
No definite plans have been made for
my speaking tour, and it is unlikely
that | will go on the stump until after
my notification"
Norman E. Mack, chairman Of the
national committee. said: "Ohio. In
diana and New York will go Demo,
cratic, and I have told Mr.. Bryan that
hold Wisconsin to be debatable
ground. Let me say to all Democrats
that the Democratic campaign is max
ing more than satisfactory progress"

TRADE UNIONS MUST FIGHT
President of Federation Says Most
Effective Gun Is Spiked.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 10. Secretary
Treasurer E. A. Bates, of the Work
ingmens Federation of the State OF
New York, made public an announce
ment of more than ordinary interest
by President Daniel Harris, in calling
the twelfth annual convention Of the
federation, to be held at Rochester on
Sept Is. President Harris says,
among other things, that "the aggres-
siye campaign waged by the Manufac-
turers' association has placed the fed
Grafton in a position where it is com
PEELED to fight for the very existence
of its organized life.
s'There is no use to try to deny or

cases has greatly weakened u.s. for

Appeals made by officers Of the
American Federation of Labor to con
gress for relief from the conditions
which surround us have been met by
the law workers with a fiat and def
ant refusal. We have requested CON
gress to pass laws exempting trades
unions from the provisions Of the
Sherman antitrust law and to curtaii
the power of the judges to issue In.
junction in labor disputes, and have
been told by the leaders Of the major
ity In the house OF representatives
that they would do nothing for the re-
lief Of labor and were willing to take
the responsibility for their refusal to
act. They have practically thrown
down the gauntlet to us. What are We

NEBRASKA STATE CAPITOL.
gathering of distinguished men, and
men of prominence of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, for Mr..
Bryan and his friends followed the
novel course of making the notification
celebration non-partisan affair in
every respect. State officials, members
Of the legislature from both parties,
partook in the doings Of the day to
honor Nebraskas leading citizen as a
man and citizen and not alone as the
leader of a great political party.
The making of the ceremony non.
partisan was brought about as the re-
suit of a conference between Governor
Sheldon, National Committeeman Hall
and Mayor Brown and committee of
citizens Of Lincoln.
The Three Important Features.
The three features of leading i'm
portance were the speeches of Mr..
Bryan, John W. Kern. candidate for
vice president, and Congressman H. D.
Clayton, of Alabama, permanent chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vention. who headed the notification
committee and delivered an able ad-
dress of notification.
The speeches were delivered from a
platform seating 200 people and adorn-
ed with American flags erected on the
north side of the state capitol build
ing, and thousands of interested hear
ers and onlookers gathered about this
stand, frequently interrupting the
speeches with enthusiastic applause.
Congressman Clayton gained new
fame as a man of oratorical ability
by reason of his effective address. His
high tribute to the qualities of Mr..
Bryan, both as a public man and as a
private individual, was well received.

Suitably Dedicated.

The tablet mentioned in our last
issue, which has recently been placed
on the wall of the main auditorium at
the Bethany church, in memory of its
first Pastor, DIR. q. V. Hanson, was
formerly dedicated at the service last
Sunday morning. The sermon by the
Rev. George Merriam, was from the
text, 81 am among you as he that
serveth."
The discourse referred frequently
to the life and labors of the first Pas
tor of the Bethany society although it
was not exclusively devoted to those
subjects.
There was special music, Mrs. C. NJ.
Lambert, presiding at the organ.
The hymn, BETHANY Home,n the
words and music of which were writ
ten by Mrs. Nellie Brakeman Donovan,
wife of Wilfred N. Donovan, former
principal of the Skowhegan High
School, was sung by the congregation.
1t was composed during the lifetime
of DR.. Hanson and was dedicated to
him. 1t may be of interest in this
connection to add that the husband Of
the author is now professor in the
Theological Seminary at Newton,
Mass. Other hymns known to be
held in deep regard by Dr. Hanson
we're sung.
The musical portion of the service
was under the direction OF Mrs. d. f.
Judkins. The three others singing
with her in the quartet were Mrs. W.
H. Halves, Mr.. Carleton p, Merrill
and Mr.. ID. F. Judkins. Floyde G..
Nye sang as soloist. The entire SER
vice constituted a tribute TO DR.. Han
sons blameless life and Christian
character.

NOTICE.

The Directors of the Skowhegan
Water Company wish to thank their
patrons for their prompt and cheer
full compliance with the request as to
use of water, for which notices were
issued on the 18th. The public may
be interested to know that 1000
gallons per hour can be drawn
through the four hundred odd service
pipes attached 20 our works, if reck-
lessly used, and many of our custo-
mers must have used water unthink-
ingly and greatly In the excess of the
amount this company or any other
water company could reasonably be
expected to furnish. The demand
upon our system had been excessive
all through this time of drouth, but
during Saturday and Sunday 1t was
more than double our entire pump
ing capacity. The situation as re
CARDS fire protection became so criti-
cal that the company was bound in
the interests of public safety, to issue
the notices above referred to. AS a
result of the company's request con-
ditions have very much improved,
and second notice has been issued,
permitting the use of hose, to custo :
mers who have contracted for this
privilege, for one hour per day. The
rules of the company allow, under
normal conditions, the use OF hose,
through a proper sized nozzle, for
two hours each day. We trust the
public will appreciate the fact that
only extraordinary conditions have
led to this temporary curtailment of
the hose privilege.
