TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
Success Sight If Unions Will Now
Come Across.

Will the local unions of Lincoln and
Havelock come across to the extent
of So 900 within the next three or four
months for the purpose Of lifting the
debt on the Labor Temple?
That is the question right now.
If they will the directors see clear
way to putting the Labor Temple in
the clear and forever clinching it's
ownership by the unionists Of the city.
But the unions must do their duty, and
do it Immediately.
The directors met last Monday night
and received a most encouraging re-
port from the hustlng committee. "A
committee was appointed to visit every
local union and ask for subscriptions to
to the stock, not from individuals, al
though individual subscriptions are de-
sired, but from the unions as bodies.
This committee will get busy at once
and local unoins are urgently requested
to give it hearing. The committee

A CLOSE CALL.
President Coffey of the State Fedora
tion Very TIL

Freshest Frank Coffee of the Ne
braska State Federation of Labor is
able to be up and about after an i'll
ness that came very near to sending
him on the long trip. Many years
ago Mr.. Coffey suffered an injury to
one of his legs and couple Of weeks
ago he was compelled to go to a local
hospital and undergo an operation.
The operation itself was a slight one
and wholly successful, but while in the
hospital he caught cold and resulting
complications came near proving fatal.
However his splendid vitality stood
him in good stead and he pulled
through. He is now able to be around
again but he shows very plainly the
effects Of his severe illness.
Mr.. Coffey hopes to be able to at
tend the American Federation of La
Dor convention at st. Louis next
month and discharge his duties as a
delegate representing the Lincoln Cen
trail Labor Union.

THE MACHINISTS.
Missouri Pacific System Embriled in
ell Big Touble Now.

The Machinists on the Missouri Pa
cific system went out on strike the first
of last week. and have been making it
warm for the management ever since.
1t first the managers were quite sure
they would never again do business
with the machinists' union but they
have since changed their minds about
it. Boilermakers and blacksmiths on
the system walked out with the ma
chinists, and as a result in all the Mis-
souri, Pacific shops work was suspended.
Several car loads of strikebreakers
were secured from Chicago, but they
couldn't turn the trick. The first OF

up the Orinoco and
Down the Magdalena"

BY h. j. Mozaus, A. NJ. PHI D. Published
oy u Appleton & Co., New York. Price S3.
1t is truly remarkable how little we
know of South America, so great a
country, so near our own doors and of
such richness and Importance This
fact is brought forcibly to mind by the
appearance of such a book as up the
Orinoco and Down the Magdalena," by
II. j. Mozaus The author is a most
observing traveller and his book con-
tains much interesting history, as well
as beauty of description.
His route was up the Orinoco to its
junction with the Meta, along the Meta
to Bogota and Honda. ~hen down the
Magdalena to Barranquilla and Carta-
gena. His journey was through a lit
tie known part of the country and he
writes of things never mentioned be-
fore by travellers.
The author was saturated with the
history of the country he was to visit
before he started, consequently his
narrative is filled with quotations from
other writer's bearing upon present day
conditions and intelligent and sug-
gestive theories as to the future of this
valuable country. The author is filed
with regret over the neglected state of
this rich country and voices his lamen-
tations loudly.
The condition of government, the fire.
quent revolutions, are given as the
direct cause of this. The ambition of
the people has been killed. No sooner
would they, in former times, collect
flocks or plant crops, than an army
would take the field, seize the flocks,
devastate the crops, and the owner could
never collect a penny for it. OF course.
in time, he lost interest and the cruel
poverty of the individual today is the
result.
The author has much to say of the
great natural resources, rubber, cacao,
coffee and tobacco. Flowers and feath-
ers are of great Importance, too, and
much destruction is left in the wake of
the collectors. The orchid hunters do
much damage, but the hunters of the
egret are the worst of all the vandals.
The book is beyond question the most
valuable of all the books on South
America which has appeared. 1t is as
interesting as a novel, full of enter
tanning anecdote, and of real value to
the student 1t contains some maps
and excellent illustrations from photo
graphs.

The story pictures the ranch life
perfectly. The author in no slightest
detail has embellished his hero. He is
real cowboy and might have been
drawn from life. OF course he is a
little bit better than the everyday
cowboy: he is more courageous. quicker

pert cowman-eIse he could not be the
hero But he is subject to weakness Of
the flesh as much as any other human
being and when Grace Carter, Bob's
sister, who has confessed her love for
him, is reported to have become en-
gagged to an English lord, he blows up
and does things which he bitterly re-
pents afterward.
The love episode with Grace is not
made as much of as could have been.
for 1t is a pretty story and fits into
the picture Still the other affair does
not sound like an episode of cattle
range, rather does it belong in the per-
fumed boudoir of a French adventures.
1t is a decided defect in a story other

exclamation. The story is not of any
vital interest, yet one hopes, page after

which never comes.
The more one reads of Mr. Herrick,
the less one likes him. His books have
had peculiar effect. Almost all read
ers thought Together" a wonderful
book at first, but as time went by one
after another would find that the book
could not stand analysis. As it creeps
farther and farther into the background
it loses its Importance and even inter-
est, and becomes to our saner judg-
ment Just trash. This new book is not
trash-yet. But the author has attempt
ed a big thing-an epic, perhaps of
American life-and he is not big enough
to stand up to his work. The cheap end
ing is the part of the book that remains
longest in the memory, and the fine
early chapters of the book are forgot
ten. Much too prolix is Mr. Herrick for
this day and age, for one must be in
teresting, indeed, to hold the attention
for 43S closely printed pages. The
authors purpose is big. but too big for
his pen.
