THE LABoRER is WORTHY OF
HIS HIRE.

Do not press the crown of thistles
Hard upon the laborer's brow,
For we all are due our living
To the man who holds the pillow.
We should give to him due honor
And protect him with our law,
Him who wields the plane and ham,
mer-
Him who uses the square and saw.
We are all by birth quite equal
Emanating from one God,
Whether we may use the easel,
Or by labor bear the hod.
1t is right to earn our living
BY the sweat upon our face,
We should strive to teach our children
That to work is no disgrace.
Give him wages for his labor
Grant him hours in which to rest;
Let him mingle with his neighbor,
Time to treat him as guest. -
He should strive to do his duty
Never from his task to shirk,
Not alone for love of booty,
But because it's right to work.

Pillow Demonstration

It is not a sight for most of us
to see a pillow working but when
you can see six plows, plough
ing eight inches deep and be-
ing pulled by a gasoline engine
at the rate of q miles per
hour, it is quite a sight. Ma
son & Seabury are giving a
demonstration of this machine
in the Brandriff field just north
of the north entrance to the
fair grounds. The machine is
sold by the Avery & Co, of
Omaha and is causing a good
deal of comment among the
farmers. This engine is run
by gasoline or kerosene and the
simplicity of it is a wonder.
They will be ploughing in this
field for the balance of this
week and it will pay you to go
and watch il work.

Even with all the seriousness

Even with all the seriousness
of the storm last night there
were some numerous incidents.
Harry Baisden and VIM. Welch
were standing in the garage
talking when they saw
the wall bulge out and thinking
the entire building was coming
in they both simultaneously
made a rush for the door.
When about half way out of
the building Harry stumbled
and fell down and just got an
other start when he heard the
timbers cracking which in
creased his speed about one
third. When he reached the
middle of the road a large limb
fell just in front of him and he
turned to 60 to the 90 res
taurant, when somebody yelled,
"thats a brick building and will
fall to-" He then started for
the depot, but was unable to
dodge the various trucks, which
were being blown about the de-
pot platform so he grabbed on
to a telegraph pole just in time
to see a stream of fire coming
down the pole from the light
ening striking the wires. TAX
ing matters in his own hands,
he changed his course and ran
to a hay meadow south of the
depot, grasped two handsful of
hay and laid fiat until the storm
was over. Aside from getting
wet and muddy, and his face
white, he suffered no injuries.
When asked what became of
Welch, he stated that he was
having troubles of his own
about that time and didn't
know weather Bill went up or
down or sideways. He also
claimed that Bill beat him out
of the front door of the garage
Ralph Purviance and another
workman were also near the
wall when it fell and they were
so dumbfounded that neither
spoke a word but dropped their
tools and made a rush for the
back door. In the excitement
each was pulling against the
other, trying to open the
doors and Ralph said he
went through a crack in the
door that wasn't four inches
wide. Once outside the build.
they made a hasty tour of the
building, being sure to stay
clear of the wall and were
around in front in less than
nine seconds.

commercial world as we'll as to
his friends and relatives will
be greatly felt. L. r. Pike
took charge of the lunch coun-
ter until Manager Dunn arriv-
ed this morning.
The building was insured.
Reports of various natures
come to this office as a result
of the terrific storm. Mr.. Sig
Nelson, a farmer living south
!of this city who was driving
here had his buggy turned over
and had his leg bruised very
severely. Large limbs blown
from trees are strewn all over
the city and one large tree at
the corner of Seventh and Erie
was torn up by the roots. Win
dows were blown out Of several
of the business buildings and
the Miller hotel suffered the
loss of several chimneys.. To
make everything worse the city
lights had to be turned off on
account of the number of wires
blown down. 1t is reported that
the electric line to Blair, Nebr.,
is down for several miles. The
LeBrun opera company, who
were scheduled to give an en-
tertainment at the chautauqua
had to cancel their engagement
and suffered the loss of about
one thousand dollars worth of
scenery.

The storm last night seemed
to wreck it's vengeance in this
immediate vicinity as this city
received the brunt of it. Lo-
gan had hardly any rain and
no wind and Co. Bluffs had
scarcely any storm but from
here west to the Missouri River
the corn is blown down quite
badly and in some place hail
did some damage.

chautauqua grounds look like a
young but prosperous city.
An enormous crowd attended
the lecture by Father Graham
yesterday.
A few campers attended
church Sunday morning. The
most of them are not very ear
ly risers and camping out seems
to agree with them.
The lagoon furnishes much
pleasure to a large number of
the campers IS we'll as the
visitors. A finer place could
not be imagined as the water is
very clear and varies in depth
from one to eight feet.
Miss McKinnon is on the
sick list.
The big tent was blown by down
the storm last night but was in
shape for the program this af-
ternoon.
A few of the campers were
quite badly frightened last
night during the storm, one
tent full using all the pillows
and covering available to cover
up their heads.

Wednesday August ii
Fire in Willow Park

The fire department was
called to the James Clark home
in Willow Park about one thir.
ty this afternoon but arrived
too late to save much of the
house. Mr.. Clark stated that
they had just finished dinner
and that his children had gone
to chautauqua and he himself
had walked a short ways from
the house when the fire started.
House and contents were burn
ed. Insured.
The fire department was
called to the Conrad home or
N. Eighth St., about three
O'Clock this morning where it
was found the interior of the
house was all ablaze due to a
gasoline explosion. The fire
was confined to the interior of
the building but it was badly
damaged and the furniture al
most a total loss. The depart
ment was handicapped on &C
count of the lights being off
and they were unable to make
any time in the dark with the
streets torn up the way they
are.

MONDAY

The LeBrun Opera Company
gave the prelude yesterday
afternoon and they were fine.
Their program consisted prin-
.cipally Of cid time sweet songs
which everyone enjoyed. The
orchestra was followed by Mrs
j. Redding Cole who gave a
fine talk. At a p. m. Mrs. Eng
fish gave her talk to women
but our reporter being a man
we are unable to give a synop
sis of it but from a number of
different toilet articles sold by
the druggists last evening we
are able to Judge pretty we'll
as to the purport of her re-
marks. She also gave another
talk to women only, at the
Christian tabernacle at 9:45
this morning and as the same
reporter was one the Job we
cannot even guess as to her
subject. All women say the
talks are fine and very instruc-
tive.
Last evening was to have
been the banner night of the
chautauqua when the LeBrun
Opera company was to have
given II Trovetore but the
storm tearing down the big
tent and running the scenery
for the company made it i'm.
possible to appear at all.

HIGH WIND

lllOll VIM
Nv. L. Goodwin Killed by
Falling Wall and Scores
of Minor Accidents
The citizens of Missouri VAL
ley experienced a small cyclone
last evening about six o'clock
when a terrible wind storm
from the west struck this city.
Trees, chimneys, tents at the
chautauqua grounds and in
fact everything that was in its
path was blown down. The
large tent and several smaller
tents at the chautauqua
grounds were blown into shreds.
People had been watching the
storm coming for an hour but
it was thought that the storm
was travelling northeast and
would not touch this city, but
at about ten minutes to six, the
storm changed its course and
came directly towards the city.
1t came so quickly that several
people were caught in the high
wind before they could get to
shelter. Several stayed in their
tents at the chautauqua
grounds only to have tents
blown from over their heads.
The Mason e. Seabury gar
age suffered the most of any of
the buildings by having the
south wall blown out. Box cars
were blown hither and thither
about the railroad yards and
baggage trucks were piled all
over the depot platform.
w. L Goodwin, who for
many years has been the mana
ger of the C. & N. w., lunch
counter. was caught by the fall
ing wall of the Mason & Sea-
bury garage and was killed in
stantly. He had started home
to close the windows in his
home when the heavy wind
blew the wall over on him. j.
3. Jones and family narrowly
escaped the falling wall as they
had driven around that way
coming from the chautauqua
grounds. They had just enter.
ed the garage and the men
were trying to close the front
doors, which were the only ones
open, when the wall gave way.
Mr.. Mason stated that it was
Impossible to get the doors
closed against the heavy wind
and that when the wall gave
way it seemed like the whole
building was coming down.
Several people were in the
garage at the time and all ran
for safety. Nearly the whole
south wall of the building fell
and several machines, such as
plows etc, came crashing down
on the fallen wall. After the
wind and the rain had subsidized,
Mr. Mason went out and was
bringing in some binding Irvine,
which had fallen from The Sec
ond story when he discovered
Mr.. Goodwin under the debris.
He exclaimed, "whose coat is
this laying here and gave it a
slight kick and to his horror
discovered that it was a man.
No one had seen Mr.. Good
win on account of the dust and
everyone was elated over the
fact that no one had been
caught by the falling wall. As
soon as the body was discover
ed Mr.. Mason notified Coroner
Hennessey, who had the body
removed to his undertaking
parlors and called a doctor to
ascertain if there was any life
left. After an examination it
was found that nearly every
bone in his body was broken
and that death had been instan-
taneous. Mrs. Goodwin did not
learn of her husbands death
until she came down town.
Mr.. Goodwin was identified
as one of the progressive men
of this city and his loss to the

1912 Chautauqua

1912 Chautauqua
The 1912 chautauqua opened
very auspicially Saturday after
noon with an advance sale far
beyond that enjoyed for sever
al years. Everything was in
readiness for opening day and
the day being ideal a
large and happy crowd nearly
filled the tent.
After the introduction of the
platform manager, Fred Eu-
gene Baker, he introduced the
Virginia Jubilee Singers who
captivated the audience at once
with their sweet voices and
wide selections of songs. At
ter the prelude by the singers
Denton Crowe,l was introduced
and gave his "1mpersonations
of Sam Jones'" He was a new
man to the audience and came
unheralded but before he had.
finished the entire audience
was asking if he could not be
be repeated on the program.
That he made a hit goes with
out saying and the manage
ment would do we'll to give him
another date if a cancellation
should occur.
Saturday evening the Jubi-
lee Singers again delighted the
audience with their singing and
Henry p Joy gave his illus
trated lecture "The Dawn of
Plenty" This lecture by pic
ture and talk takes one from
the time of the crewdest farm
machinery up to the present
time, showing all the inventions
to take care of grain and the
number of years it took to per
feet them. The lecture was
very interesting and instrnc-
tive.
Sunday afternoon Father
Edward P. Graham faced one
of the largest audiences in the
the history of the meetings in
this city. His lecture was
scholarly, witty and profound
and no one in the entire audi
ence but felt they had gained
some good by hearing Father
Graham.
The entire evening was given
over to the Jubilee singers and
from the number of times each
individual was encored, they
surely pleased the audience.
The concert was of a semi sac
red nature, many of the old
time negro melodies being used
and these pleased the audience
immensely.
The LeBrun Grand Opera
Company is here for this after
noon and evening, filling the
entire program tonight with
three acts from ii Trovatore.
Chautauqua Notes
The lighting this year is the
most elaborate of anything yet
attempted. There are approx
mately 100 80 K. p. lamps ard
a great many of the campers
are cooking by electricity.
Miss Florence Tamisiea, Of
Omaha, was here yesterday to
hear Father Graham.
Several of the small tents
were blown down last night but
they were all put back in shape
this morning.

quaintance of her first grand
son.
Mrs. Minnie Sheeho and son
are spending a few weeks at
the parental Dennis Fitzgibbon
home.
Fitzgibbon sisters are camp
ed on the chautauqua grounds.
The talk now is to build a
pavilion at the chautauqua
grounds to be used for chautau-
qua and as a Floral hall during
the fair and do away with tents
in the future. The idea is a
good one and one which could
very easily be carried out with
the cooperation of the city
council, fair association and the
commercial club. STORM would
have no terrors then for the
chautauqua visitors.
