The sexton at the local cemetery
in digging the grave for the remains
of David Havershaw, was obliged to
move the casket of a child of hrs,
buried about 40 years ago, who died
of diphtheria. At the time of its
death, the nature of the disease was
undetermined and so grave bomb
was placed on top of the box. Wires
were stretched across the grave so
in case an attempt at grave robbery
was made these wires, if disturbed,
would pull trigger on the bomb and
let big hammer fall onto percus-
sion cap, exploding the charge Of
powder contained in the cast-iron

The Knocker is Agin improvements,
Agin Taxes, Agin Progress. Agin the
Weather, Agin everything except him
SELF He is the original Grape Hanger
and never says Anything Good about
anyone. Fortunately for all of us, the
Knocker lives over in the Next Town,
We confess our guilt in publishing
stories of swine with cattle progeny
of prodigious proportions, soldiers
with very distinguished relatives,
Sunday school superintendent with
question marks, and other errors both
typographical and otherwise. but we
are forced to surrender all claims to
the Nebraska editor VINO managed to
mix items in such a way as to make
them read like this:
~The Red Gross concert given last
night by Is Of our beautiful young la
dies was highly appreciated They
sang IN a charming manner, winning
the plaudits of tho audience +, who
unanimously pronounced them to be
the finest group of Shorthorns in the
country. A few of them are rich
brown in color, but the majority are
spotted red and white Several of,
the heifers are fne-bctied, tight
limbed animals, and promise to prove
good property"
The whereabouts of the editor is
unknown at present.
Myron Link, who has been down
south, at Americas, Ga, says that
one Sunday he went to church in a
little country town down in that vi
cinity and that he put $500 bill in
the collection plate when it was passed
before him. When the service was
over the preached announced that the
collection amounted 20 $3.50 and that
if the $500 bill presented by the
soldier from Belding was genuine,
repairs on the building could be start
ed at once.
Down at the Empress theater the
other night they were showing a pic
ture ON the screen, one scene of which
was a very realistic picture of vol
cano in action, with us fire, smoke
and burning lava boiling and over
flowing the rim of the crater, when
a. woman who was sitting in the aud
fence and who had become somewhat
excited over the picture, exclaimed,
What a splendid place 20 drop the
kaiser"
While passing down the street the
other day we saw two local girls who
were really wearing skirts just a
trifle shorter than any we had seen
for some time. They were giggling
and carrying ON and attracted the at
tention of rather live looking trav-
cling man, who gave them the once
over and then sang out, eff skirts get
any shorter you can buy them for a
quarter" Several people who took
in the little vaudeville stunt giggled
and Uttered and strange to say, the
girls quit.

q y
Other subjects Win be considered
later, but, for the time being, the at.
tention Of the committee has been con.
centrated upon these, as the most Inn
portant questions The report will be
submitted to the Industrial Confer.
ence, but it is taken for granted that
the 400 representatives OF capital and
labor forming that conference will
adopt the report and advise the gov
eminent to take immediate action on
the lines laid down. And 1t is further
expected that the action to be taken
along those lines will end all talk OF
an industrial revolution In Great
Britain.
Two or three thoughts provoked by
this report and the manner OF IT'S adop-
ton are worthy OF emphasis. The frs.
is the common sense method used to
get at the solution OF this problem.
Britain, like America, learned a great
lesson in cooperation during the war.
The war was won by cooperation.
Prosperity and the well-ebing OF the
whole people can be won in the same
way, and only in that way. Our Brit
ish cousins were wise enough to see
this.
Another thought that should be web
weighed in this country is that this
matter has been settled, or put in pro-
cess Of settlement. by experts-by
business men who know business and
labor men who know labor conditions.
The politicians have had nothing to do
with the practical questions involved.
The governments function is limited
to calling the conference into being
and to carrying its recommendations
into effect.
And the third thought is that the
nature of the recommendation made
pressages a new era in industrial rela-
tons Several Of these recommends.
tons would have been considered pre-
posterous a few years ago., But for
many years, and even before the war,
the conviction has been growing that
the problem of labor. which is in
many respects the same as the prob.
lem of poverty, can be solved peace.
ably only IN some such way, as this.
Either there must be a steady and
orderly growth in the use of such de-
vices as labor unions and the mini
mum wage and social insurance or
there will be radical upturning Of
the social structure; evolution is the
only alternative to revolution. The
adoption of the orderly and constitu-
tional method Of remedying the labor
situation, rather than the violent and
unconstitutional one, proves that Eng.
land still answers to the description
which Tennyso gave of her:
A land of old and just renown;
A land of settled government;
Where freedom slowly broadens
down
From precedent to precedent.

sullivan TELLS OF
PEACE CONFERENCE

Mark Sullivan known the world ov-
er through his contributions to Col.
Tiers and other prominent periodicals
last night addressed a large audience
at the Grand Opera House, the event
being the final one of the Normal Ly-
ceum course numbers, and it was gen.
orally voted to be among the very
best OF the good attractions which the
Lyceum has brought here this year.
Mr.. Sullivan has but recently re.
turned from Europe and he told many
interesting things especially in con-
nection with the Peace conference and
the mystery which surrounded it, chief
ly Of the newspaper reporters futile
efforts to gain and transmit informa-
ton to their respective papers.
