Plaindealer:
The funeral services of Campbell D..
Taylor who died September oath, took

ers and quite number of friends were
present. Hugh Taylor and Mrs. Alex

Campbell was SO years of age and left
many friends to mourn his loss. His
mother is very i'll and was unable to at
tend or even to view the body. "Cam"

knew him for many years now find a
sore spot in our hearts.

Mrs. Minnie Taylor, well known in this
city. Mrs. Taylor attended the funeral.

A grandson of William H. Van
derbilt, who will inherit many
millions, has been employed at
hard labor in the railroad shops
at Milwaukee. But who would
refuse to engage in thirst-devel-
oping labor in a famous" city
like Milwaukee?

The colonists rates. from Chi
cago, St. Louis and other eastern
points are the same to Delta as
to San Francisco, which is about
twice as far. This is only a
specimen of the unjust discrimi-
nation of the railroads against
Western Colorado points.

old daughter of Jack Fairbanks, who is
the well known travelling representative
of the Morey Mercantile Co., who mar

GOING, GOING. GONE!
On the one hundredth anniversary
Of the birth Of Lincoln, the emancipa-
tor, 200 white slaves were sold at
auction.
Wharf
Strange as it may seem, these men
were actually sold in a Brooklyn
church to any one who would offer
food, shelter and employment for
them.
These 200 men, of various ages and
ability, were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
men.
Discouraged in the long, vain search
for employment, they offered them
selves TO the bidders.
In a previous sale some fifty men
were sold by the same auctioneer. The
plan originated with a machinist who
advertised himself for sale in the
newspapers. He sold himself by this
method to woman who sent him to
run a chicken farm in New Jersey.
Among those sold on Lincoln day
were several college graduates who in
default of any other work had been
shoveling snow for the city.
Unlike the auction sales of slaves be-
fore the war, each man wore a black
mask to conceal his identity.
You thought slavery and involuntary
serYitude had been done away by Lin
coins proclamation?
Mistakei
Men always will. until the day OF the
millennium, be in bondage, some volun-
tarily and some because Of nisfor-
tune, some of their own yolition or
fault some because they got between
the upper and neither millstones.
The spectacle OF men selling them
selves on the block makes one grow
sick at heart.
Nevertheless
The world is growing better and saner
and more merciful-slowly, but sure
~. Slowly, but surely, we are getting
further away from slavery and tyran-
ny and injustice.
In this connection the inspiring poem
written by George Alfred Townsend
some years ago is apropos, and we
quote from 1t the following lines:
Deep the wells OF nnruble childhood, cool
the spring beside the hut.
Millions more as poor as Lincoln see the
door he has not shut.
Not till wealth has put It's canker every
poor whites cottage through
Shall the great republic wither or the In
hdel subdue
| Stand around your great commander
Lay aside your silly fears.
| Every Lincoln carries freedoms car along
a hundred years.
