QUINCY NEWS

Messrs. ]. B. Larson, Oscar Wen
berg, c. ]. Weinberg, Oscar Brottem
and Louis Skague, who live over the
hills north of the city, were in town
last week en- masse. They state that
the squirrels were very lively in
their wheat fields during the spring,
from which they suffered more than
from anything else. They also state
that they have been busy on the road
from their country, called Fairview
Hills, to Quincy, and have a fine,
new road graded up on the north
side. Like those in the south
ern end of the county they are of the
opinion that the county commissioner
for the third district has forgotten
that they are in Douglas county at
all, and in casting around for a good
man picked on Louis Delivuk. They
are unanimous and enthusiastic for
Mr.. Delivuk for commissioner, and
state that they will work late and
early for his election. They are tired
of paying taxes and getting no rep
resentation, and as they have found
man to their liking for commits
sioner in Mr.. Delivuk they are going
to stand by him.

CINCINNATI PROPOSES GREAT
 PEACE CELEBRATION IN 1915

Cincinnati, July 21.-A movement to celebrate the semi centennial of peace between the north and south by holding in 1915 a great southern exposition in Cincinnati and dedicating a southern peace monument in this city, was launched at special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. The proposition was given enthusiastic approval by the members of change. At the close of the meeting one ot the leaders in the movement said:
 "A southern exposition and some sort of memorial or monument indicating Cincinnatis affection for the south is assured"
 A formal report was presented in support of the idea reciting various reasons why such a celebration sh ould be held in Cincinnati and summing up it's probable character, said:
 "As to character, scope and plans, these are matters for future considera- hibit of waterways devices and methods. It is suggested that there be erected a monument, commemorative of peace, the monument to be raised by popular subscriptions This monument to occupy the center of a small park or public square in Cincinnati. The unveiling of this monument would take place at the opening of the celebra- tion during the month of May, 1915, s the 50th anniversary of the restora- J tion of peace.
 'sUnlilSe expositions of the past each state represented in the new south would have it's own building in which its resources, things of human interes. and particular forms of amusement and entertainment would be frequent No state would eb stricted as to the magnitude of its exhibit. The state buildings could be arranged In the or der of their geographical location, making 1t easy for visitors to find any exhibit.

 Joseph Biers, fireman.

 Biers and Prick were instantly killed. The wires fell around the neck of young Deshong and nearly burned his head off, the terrified crowd being afraid to render assistance. The lad was a son of Harry Deshong, president of Altoona select council
 While the firemen were at work in front of the building the intense heat melted the wires and they dropped to the street. Biers and Prick in attempting to escape them became entangled and were roasted to death in an instant. Young Deshong, who was inside the fire line. made an effort to dodge the falling wires but one of them was wound around his neck so suddenly that escape was inn possible.

Central Labor Union of Wash- iRgtOn Ready to IndOfse
 Bryan for President
AMERICAN FEDERATION
 OF LABOR WILL DECIDE
Gompers Is Expected To Make An nouncement of His Position in the Official Organ Very Soon
 and In it To Oppose Taft.

Washington, July 21.-(Special. )-Sam Dcnedrey, who prevented action last night on the strong resolutions offered at the meeting of the Central Labor union in this city condemning the candidacy of MT. Taft and indorsing enthusiastically MT. Bryan, had a purpose in the stand taken by him. Denedrey is himself staunch advocate of the election of MT. Bryan, and was delegate to the recent Denver convention, where he did every thug in his power to bring about the nomination of the Nebraskan. He has since his return to Washington also stat ed to those who have questioned him that he found an overwhelming Bryan senti- ment in the west since the nominations have been made by the two leading parties.
 Denedrey wants the Central Labor union of Washington to wait for action by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. President Gompers of that organization refuses to be inter- viewed until that council is ready to ex- press their views, and it is also under stood that in the coming issue of the newspaper published monthly by the fed eration, that Gompers will have an edi- torial which will define labor's attitude in this contest so far as his organization is concerned.
 It is quite generally believed here that but for the position taken by Denedrey last night that the Central Labor union would have passed the anti-Taft resolu- tions by a very large majority. This or ganization, as previously pointed out Ia these dispatches. has opposed MT. Taft ever since there was a possibility Of his becoming the republican candidate for President. The meetings held last winter and spring were of the liveliest sort.
 The influence of the Central Labor union extends far and wide, and being located at the nations capital this central union manages to send to all parts of the country information that is eagerly re- ceiyed by the unions elsewhere because it is news from the seat of the government and where laws are made affecting the workingmen.
 The general expectation is that when MT Gompsis speaks he will be fo1nd against Taft and for Bryan, and that his views will llove quite popular with this powerful ol 2arlzation that has for so many years placed confidence in him, and has upheld him when bitterly op- posed by certain interests which have steadily tried to down him.
 Republican attacks upon Gompers have been so severe since the conventions met that he is said to have his ire thoroughly aroused, and intends to have reckoning with those who claim that he is but one man, and insist that he has no right to sneak for organized labor.
