The only mark of identity on him was hs collar, which bore the laundry mark, J. D. Laws. Tn some ways he resembles the picture of the fourth man of the holdup, but the police are inclined to belleve that he may be wanted in Des Moines rather than here. As a diversion to the exolting chase of the alleged highway men Detective H. H. Shields picked up two alleged burglars last night who are suspected as the men who robbed Green's saloon Saturday night at Forty-sixth and Q street.

Memorial Sermon to Veter: Forty veterans of the civil jfar and twenty-tive or thirty women of the Wom- en's Relief corps attended the Memorial day exercises at the First Baptist church Sunday morning. The weather was show- ery, but until the time of the service it was good. The shower of the morning was over before the sermon by Rev, George Van Winkle was concluded. Rev. Van Winkle preached on the development of Muman brotherhood. Beginning with the divine question to Cain, the speaker gave & short sketch of the way humanity had viewed the question Yntil the present day. Me showed that all strife of na- tions and peoples had resuited from the wrong answer given to this question. Be- fore the civil war the authority for slav- ery was pranted by the éonstitution, which also recognized the prineiples of the dec- laration of independence In the same con- text. It was not until the emancipation proclamation, which the most far- reaching recognition of the principle of human brotherhood, that God's grace gave victory into the hands of the north. With perfact brotherhood the wotld will find itself endowed with perfect peace. General A. S. Churchill addressed the congregation at the Presbyterian church along lines of the significance of the slav- ery question and its solution. His address was glven under the auspices of the Pres- byterian Brotherhood. Speotal musi¢ was turnished by the cholr. Gun Club Shoot.

Manual Tratn OMAHA, May ®.—To the Editor of The Bee: In looking over the morning papers of & week ago I noticed the articlé relating to the proposed issuance of bonds at this coming fall election for the purpose of en- larging the present high school bullding and the broadening out of the industrial science and manual training departments, and that it is the cherished hope of one of our nobiest and best meaning citizens that this be done, [ am In a position lo know. To the mothers and fathers of our city 1 make this special appeal In the in- terest of our girls and boys, especially, and our amd. their posterity, that we all give to Prof. John Wigman the help he is battling for so manfully and so richly de- serve: The adding of sufficient room in our high school buflding and the proper equipment thereof for an industrial sclence depart- ment and a thorough manual training de- partment will be the means of° putting many, many of our young people In an independent position, inasmuch their training In an institution of this kind will qualify them to make their own way through life, happy In the consciousne of their own ability and contented for the reason that their early training at school was such that they are enabled when they reach the age where they have to choose a vocation for a life's long calling, they will know what they are best fitted for. Better cooks will enhance the health of our nation and better and more good house- wives will rob the divorce courts of their prey. Better mechanics and more of them, in- stead of 8o many college bred fallures in professional and businesv lite, will elim- inate to some degree the necessity of buflding of more prisons and penitentiaries, for the man who is not capable of meet- ing/the vieissitudes and:dli uppointments of life will be desperaté when hungry and will steal before he will'starve. Help make our girls and boys to be self reliant by giv- ing them proper tra{ning when they are just moulding thelr career and 1 think you will find it the best paying Investment you ever made and when you are called to your reward you can go smilingly and know your country and your children are safe.

He is open to the charge of extravagance in this direction, for no other stuck manager ever lavished on productions the care he has shown so far this season In providing for every detall that makes for the ar- tistic completéness of the background against which the play 18 projected. "My Wife," is the first of the offerings of the summer season that ceally permitted the women folks of the compsany to dress up, and they fairly rose to the opportunity In the settings of rich interiors they dressed with elaborate care and displa and showed some really beautiful gowns. All of this gave to the stage pictures a richness that was thoroughly enjoyed by the audiences.

Tt directs that certain union mass meetings, scheduled to take place today, be not held. The injunetive writ proceedings follow the calling off of the recent strike of the street car em- ployes, which led to a factional split in the carmen’s union. The dominant faction headed by President Obrera of Manila Labor council, decided after much discus- sion to renew the strike and boycott against the company. A manifesto was | tssued declaring ths company unfair and a | series of meetings were announced for to- day (Sunday), with the names of those who would speak. Agitation was not accompanied by any | specific demands on the company and a | & majority of the strest car operatives are not members of the union, the strike had little effect. The company, nevértheless, sought the ald of the courts, applying for and obtaining an order directing that the | proposed meetings be abandoned and that | the announced speakers refrain from ear- r¥ing on thelr purpose. The general issue | involved s not the right of the union to resort to a boycott, but rather its right to enforce or call a boycott without having made any demands upon the company and | without having any special interest or | 1ssue Involved. The company claims that \\hc boycott is merely & malicious attempt ‘w injure it because of the fallure of the | | tirst strike. | Several minor strikes and labor difficul- ties are progressing in the city at this time and it is feared that the labor situation will be complicated during the impending assembly election. ¢ GINGER SNAPS A Package NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Well—Here we are again!
