T. R. Symons, who sells the product of the hop for the Minne- apolis Brewing company, left last evening {or Kelliher, to: interview the local dealers in refreshments at that place.

John looks just as natural as of vore, and claims he is enjoying himself, but we have our doubts that he does not occasionally have a hankerin’ for good old “Big Bemidg.” W. H. Strachan, superintendent of the M. & I, Railway company, came to the city last evening, be- ing the occupant of the private car, ¢‘50,” which was attached to the regular north-bound M. & I. passenger train.

George Moody of Brainerd, who has been filling the position of court reporter to Judge Wright during the absence of G. H. Gardner in Chicago, left last evening for his home at Brainerd, Mr. Gardner having returned to the city. Itis doubtful if there isin the city of Brainerd a more popular and ageressively ‘‘square” citizen than this self-same George. He is good nature personified, and always has a pleasant word and a hearty hand- clasp for everyone. Verily, it is all sunshine and no shadow, when George is around; and it is not much wonder that his friends are legion and are steadfast in their allegiance to him. Such men are of great value in this world of worry and trouble; they make life’s burdens easier to bear.

ALL CAR LINES ~ TIED UP TIGHT Employes Out at Omaha. and Council Bluffs. DEMAND . HIGHER WAGES Also Allege That Unlon Men Are Dis- criminated Against and That Large Numbers of Them Have Been Dis- charged Recently—Company De- clares Strike Is Called at Thie Time to Embarrass It During Presiden- tial Visit. Omaha, Sept. 2).—The employes of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Rallway company have walked out to enforce a demand for increased wages and all the lnes in both cities are tied up. Among the demands the men ask that wages for motormen and condue- tors be 26 cents an hour for the first year, 27 cents for the second year and 28 cents for the third and successive years, time and a half to be allowed for all time employed over the sehed- uled run. Not less than nine nor more than ten hours, to be included within twelve consecutive hours, to eonsti- tute a day’s work. The strikers placed about twenty- five of their number at the principal street corners to distribute printed statements of their grievances. This statement announced that the strike was virtually a lockout, because the street car company officials had de- clared they did not want unfon men as employes. The statement added that the mem- bers of the union had been discrim- inated against and that large numbers of their men had been released in re- cent months. The statement closed with an appeal to the public to see that justice was done to the men. President Wattles of the railroad company declares that the strike was brought at this particular time with a view to embarrassing the company on the eve of the arrival of the presi- dent of the United States and when a number of large conventions were about to meet in Omaha. —_— M'CANN DENIES THE CHARGE Chicago Police Inspector on Stand In His Own Defense.

M e wr..lhfihhlh— Telling the Truth Pays The simple truth, in black and white, is that when you buy lumber or building material from us, you can throw all uncertanity to the four winds.

No matter how little you pay for an article, it is not really cheap unless it will satisfactorily fulfil the purpose for whith it is intended. Our lumber and building material is made good enough for the White House, but is sold to those people who want “the best yon've got."" If you're that kirfd of a buyer, we can please you.
