THE TWO SIDES OF THE SHIELD
Then Look On This One.

New York, Sept 12.-Mlle. Atom,
smallest of Chiffon dogs, which weighs
twenty-five ounces, has been sold for
a price generally understood among
dog fanciers to have been $40 an
ounce.
She is the smallest 1000 worth OF
dog ever seen in this country, and so
far as is known nothing SO tiny of that
breed has ever been seen in the world.
The record for littleness had been
held until her advent by a Griffon
weighing three pounds.
Mile. Atom was purchased by Mrs
John T. Windrim, whose husband is a
prominent architect in Philadelphia
The little creature was found in a vii
lage near Brussels. Her parents were
both prize winners in dog shows in
Jaris and Brussels.
Mile Atom is five inches long and
four inches high. She has long hair
The color of her coat is red with {
darker tinge on the back.

NOT A GOOD IDEA.
INSTRUCTED Energy That Reacts on

INSTRUCTED Energy That Reacts on
the Good Name of Unionism.
The Wageworker regrets that GER
tain Jealous unionists of the city have
let their enthusiasm lead them into do
ing something that certainly will re-
act upon the whole labor movement in
Lincoln. Reference is had to the de-
Placement of certain billboards bearing
the advertisement of an unfair and
unfriendly manufacturing company.
This act should not have been commit
ted.
Organized labor has plenty of wea-
pons in it's armory to fight it's battles
openly and fairly without resorting to
injury to property. The billboards
are open to us, and we have right to
advertise our cause thereon-until
some court enjoins us. We also have
the right, as individuals, to refuse to
patronize the unfair and unfriendly
firm in question. The Wageworker
trusts that there will be no further
repetitions of the act in question.

Two fell under the wheels and were
horribly mangled dying almost instant

self home among the palms. He spent
several years in building and in reclaim
ing land They were the happiest years
of his life. He practically gave up per-
sonal communication with the outside
world, except through his pen and his
publisher, until his death.
While he was visiting in California,
in 1879, he met Mrs Fannie Van de
Grift Osbourne of Indiana, a young
grass widow who was living with her
sister at Monterey. He fell in love
with her and married her in the fol
lowing spring. She was devoted wife
and an ideal companion for man Of
his genius and peeuliarities. And he
wrote of her a short time before his
death:
Teacher. tender comrade, wife,
A fellow farer, true through life,
Heart whole and soul free.
The august Father gave to me.
He Hit Hard Sometimes.
Some Of Stevenson s pictures Of
Edinburgh gave offense to the people
of that city. They were very severe
in their condemnation. A year or so
after he replied to his critics, and said
among other things: ct have never
written book about Glasgow as If
that atoned for the hard words he had
said about his own native town. Here
are some of the descriptions which at
tracted criticism:
E'Few places, if any, offer a more
barbarie display of contrasts to the
eve. In the very midst stands one OF
the most satisfactory crags in nature

carrying a crown of battlements and
turrets. and distributing its warlike
shadow over the Iiveliest and brightest

their smoky beehives, ten stories high,
the unwasbed look down upon the gar
dens of the wealthy, and gay people
summing themselves along Princess
street. with its commercial palaces all
befagged upon some great occasion, see
across a garden valley set with statues,
where the washings of the Old Town
futter in the breeze at its high win
dows. And then, upon all sides. what
a clashing Of architecture! In this one
valley. where the life Of the town goes
most busilv forward, there may be seen,
shown one above and behind another,
by the accident of the ground, buildings
in almost every style upon the globe.

EDINBURGH, September 20, 1905
There are several fine memorials to
eminent Scots in st, Giles Cathedral,
but none that viii compare with that
recently erected to Robert Louis Stew
enson by the joint contributions of his
admirers in Scotland, America and all
over the world It is one of the great
est works of the late Augustus st.
Gaudens, and honors the artist as much
as the subject whom he has portrayed
1t represents Stevenson as reclining
upon couch as if hesitating for a
word, with a blanket over his knees,
a blotting pad in his left hand and a
pen in his right. 1t bears two long in
scriptions, one biographical and the
other the well known prayer" which
Stevenson wrote a few months before
his death, which has been printed so
widely, but never too often:
"Give US grace and strength to for
bear and to persevere; give us courage
and gaiety and the quiet mind; spare us
to our friends; soften to us our enc
mics; bless us if it may be in all our
innocent endeavors. If it may not, give
US strength to encounter that which is
to come, that we may be brave in peril,
constant in tribulation, temperate in
wrath, and in all changes of fortune,
and down to the gates of death, loving
and loyal to one another"
And from one of his poems the fol
lowing lines:
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me he
Glad did 1 live, and gladly die,
And / laid down me with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies, where he longs to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

Stevenson on Edinburgh weather.

AS the inscription says, Stevenson
was a native of Edinburgh, who was
driven from this city, first to Califor-
MIA and then to Samoa, where he died,
by this cruel climate. He wrote little
essay about Edinburgh, and while it
contains some witty observations and
singing criticisms upon the character
and habits of his fellow citizens, and
some graphic pictures and amusing de-
seriptions, it is worthless as a guide,
because, as is too often the case, he
takes too much for granted. He writes
for readers who know Edinburgh well
and strangers can not always under
stand him. But whatever Stevenson
says is worth printing, and his Edin-
burgh sketches are drawn by a true
artist. He says:
'The ancient and famous metropolis
of the north sits overlooking a windy
estuary from the slope and summit of
three hills. No situation could be more
commanding for the head city of a
kingdom; none better chosen for noble
prospects. From her tall precipices
and terraced gardens she looks far and
wide on the sea and broad champaigns.
But Edinburgh pays cruelty for her high
seat in one of the vilest climates under
heaven. She is liable to be beaten upon
by all the winds that blow, to be
drenched with rain, to be buried In
cold sea fogs out of the east and pow
dered with the snow as it comes flying
southwark from the Highland hills. The
weather is raw and boisterous in win
ter, shifty and uncongenial in summer,
and downright meteorological purga-
tory in the spring. The delicate die
early, and /, as survivor among bleak
winds and Pumping rains, have some
times been tempted to envy their fate.
For all who love shelter and the
blessings of the sun, who hate dark
weather and perpetual fitting against
squalls, there could scarcely be found
a more unhomely and harassing place
of residence. Happy the passengers
who shake off the dust of Edinburgh
and have heard for the last time the
cry of the east wind among her chin
ney pots. And yet the place establishes
an interest in people S hearts, go where
they viii; they find no city of the same
distinction; go where they will they
viii take a pride in their old home"

ISSUES AN ED|CT
Superintendent Bailey Tells
People When to CeIe-
brate the Fourth.
ORDER MUST BE oBEYED.

Supt. Bailey OF the police depart
ment this morning issued his annual
proclamation against the tooprevious
celebrations of the Fourth of July.
Fireworks of all sorts may be explod-
ed at any time after o'clock Friday
evening and until midnight of the
Fourth without fear of Intervention on
the part Of the police. Before and aft
er these hours a risk will be taken,
however. and the police have been in
structed to make arrests for violation.
The superintendent also requests all
dealers in fireworks to caution pur-
chasers against exploding them before
the time allowed.
The orders of the superintendent
are issued in accordance with the city
ordinance passed in 1879. This ordj
nance prohibits the use of explosives
and fireworks on any dates but July
and December 25. The custom at the
time the ordinance was passed was to
observe Christmas In much the same
manner as the Fourth and firecrackers
and pyrotechnics were made features.

ECLIPSE PLAINLY
VISIBLE HERE
Phenomena Was Visible Short
Iy After Eight O'clock
Sunday Morning.
COULD BE PLAINLY SEEN
WAS VIEWED BY MANY PEOPLE
OF THE CITY-ECLlPSE ONLY
PARTIAL IN INDIANA, BUT FULL
IN FLORIDA.

Smoked glass, blue glass, brown
glass, and every other kind of glass
that would permit the sightseers to
gaze at the face of the sun without dis
comfort to the eyes were called into
use yesterday morning. AS viewed in
this locality the eclipse of the sun was
only partial. Great interest was ia
ken in the eclipse. The first indica-
tion that an unusual natural phenom-
ena was in progress, came about $50
O'Clock, when it seemed as IL slight
fog was obscuring the radiance of the
sun. The haze in the atmosphere
continued until almost II 80 O'Clock,
but becoming less dense after 10
o'clock.
In some parts of the city the eclipse
car>ed a yellowish light. All vegeta-
tion appeared yellow and the roofs Of
houses had the same appearance. In
gazing at the sun the observer noticed
long yellow beams of light radiating
In all directions.
Many persons. who had not expected
the eclipse, thought the hazy prospect
indicated rain. When the eclipse was
nearest full in this vicinity. it seemed
as If the suns light was being obscur-
ed by dense cloud. The atmospher-
lcal conditions were similar to those
that exist about O'Clock in the after
noon of bright summer day.
After the eclipse first became no.
ticeable, the moon was to be seen
moving slowly across the face of the
sun. The moon moved as if from the
southwest to northeast and the sun
was entirely obscured on the right
hand side. At 9:45 O'Clock three
fourths of the sun was hidden, but it
was not dark enough 10 see any stars,
although four of the largest planets
were near the sun at the time. In
the middle of the eclipse the sun was
100000 times as brilliant as the full
moon.
The eclipse was only partial in Indi-
ana, but total in Florida Many of
the leading educational institutions
sent astronomical parties to Florida
TO make observations. A partial
eclipse does not mean anything to as
tronomers, as the suns condition has
been observed in all phases at such
times. Many persons remember the
total eclipse of about forty years ago.
The suns light was entirely obscured,
chickens went to roost, and cattle left
the fields for the barns.

EVERETT LEMON
FORCES TO FRONT
Is Made Assistant Treasurer
Of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail Railroad.
ONE OF FAMOUS SCHOOL,
MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE
LEFT THIS CITY AND MADE
GOOD IN RAILROAD WORLD.

Everett Lemon, former we'll known
Richmond young man, has been ap-
pointed to the position of assistant
treasurer of the Wisconsin Central
railroad, of which line Henry C.. Starr.
the well known former local attorney
is president. Mr. Lemon will assume
his new duties the first of next month.
His many friends here are pleased to
learn of his success.
Mr.. Lemon was for several years pri-
vate secretary to Mr.. Starr, when the
latter made this eity his home. He
studied law under Mr.. Starr and a
year or two ago vas admitted to mem
bership in the Wayne county bar.
When Mr.. Starr was called to Chi
cago to assume the vice presidency of
the Wisconsin Central, Mr.. Lemon
went with him and was given re-
sponsible position in the general offic-
es of the c., G. & L. When Mr.. Starr
and his associates organized the Amer
lean Creosoting company, Mr.. Lemon
was made treasurer of the concern.
Mr.. Lemon has had wonderful sue,
cess III JHe TdllTOdu business the SHORT
time he has been engaged in this line
of work, and it is predicted that with
in few years he will be one of the
best known railroad men in the coun-
try. A great deal Of his success is
due to the interest Mr.. Starr has al
ways taken in him, but Mr. Starr gave
his assistance to his former private
secretary because he knew that he had
the ability to make good"
The appointment of Mr.. Lemon as
assistant treasurer OF the Wisconsin
Central, brings before the public once
again the remarkable Richmond
school, of railroad men, who by their
ability have risen to the highest posi-
lions in the railroad world. This
school was founded by Col. John F.
Miller, of this city and his pupils in.

William B. Leeds and others too nu-
merous to mention.

SHERIFF TO HIVES |GATE
ALLEGED SEINE CASES
Claimed Illegal Fishing Is Done
In This County.

An investigation of the alleged sein-

part of the county will be made by the
sheriff. Reports of SEEMING have
been frequent and the sheriff believes
there must be some cause. While at
Williamsburg Saturday night, the
sheriff was aroused from his slumbers
about one o'clock by a telephone call
from Greensboro. The informant
claimed twelve men were SEEMING by
lantern light. The sheriff promised
an investigation, but was not disposed
to leave his bed to institute search
ing party at that hour.
