THE NORTH plREcroRY.
Coming Issue Will Be Best Ever Of
fered to the County.

There are many reasons why the
North City Directory should be pat
ronized by every citizen of Lancaster
county who needs a directory. One
reason is that it is wholly home
product. All the work is done in Lin
coin, and Lincoln wage earners do it.
The men who publish it are Lincoln
business men whose every interest is
in Lancaster county Apart from this
it is the most complete directory ever
issued for the community. In addi-
tion to containing the names of all
males over 81 years of age, it will
contain the names of all Lancaster
county taxpayers, a complete direc-
tory of Havelock. University Place,
College View. and Bethany, and the
names of wives who are propertyhold-
ers in their own right. 1t will also be
thumb indexed." and contain many
other valuable and handy features.
The North Directory has given sat
isfaction in the past and there is every
reason why it should be patronized
to the exclusion of outside directories.
The money spent for or invested in
the North Directory is kept in Lin
coin.

weekly rest-day, for living wage, for
decent living conditions. When the
question at stake is merely a matter
of expediency, of jurisdiction, of q rec
ognition of the union, or a similar mat
ter, then the church must have the
right to remain neutral, just as the
trades union would not be expected to
take sides were the church to take up
the matter of denominational differ-
ences, of creeds or forms of govern
ment. AS Individuals, we may think
as we please about the affairs of the
church or of labor, but we cannot as

but in so far as they agree upon the
things for which they are contending
they should present a united front. II
this liberty is granted the church, it
will be very much easier for the
church to work together with the
union in the accomplishment of spe-
cific reforms The real test of the
church's sincerity in the matter of its
sympathy for the trades unionist in
this struggle for better things is not
in the mere recognition" of his union,
but in it's willingness to help him Sc
cure the practical things which he is
after This it can readily do when the

CHURCH AND LABOR.

How Far Can the Church Go in Sup

LONDON. July 23.-Omar Dhingaria. the young East Indian student who shot and killed Lieut.. Col Sir William Wyllie and Dr. Lallcaca, officers of the British army. at banquet at the lm- perial Institute, several weeks ago, was today sentenced to death.
 He was found guilty of murder m the first degree. and will be executed at once.

 He appears stolid and indifferent as to his fate, and will make no statement to the authorities. who have been try ing to force some statement from his lips regarding the real cause of ms rash act.
 Both of the dead officers were at one time stationed in India near the youth home and it is the belief here that the young man is harboring a fancied grievance against all British officers, who are none too well liked by the East Indians, at any rate
 The companions of the assassin have been kept in solitary confinement. but they refuse to say what the motive was that impelled Dhingaria to murder the officers. They, too. express hate for the British officers and praise the act of their confederate.
