It is not a ‘national’ installation, but simply a local convenience. keep it In operation, but as It can be seen at night by but the peaple of the business and downtown districts only, the govern- ment cannot see its way to bear the ex- pense of its night Numination.” This rule does not apply merely to Omaha, but elsewhere throughout the coun- try where tower clocks are maintained in government bulldings. These clocks have no connection whatever with the public service. There Is no disposition on the part of the government to discontinue the clock, but as an economic proposition tho government ddes not feel justified in bear- ing the expense of it= oveing lighted all night."

Wiggins declared he had been held up by two white men near the Krug theater and compelled to remove his clothing. He explained that after having taken off his outer clothing and shoes, he snatched up the apparel and made a desperate effort to escape when he received the bullet in the back. Members of the negro's family ealled in the police and brought medical attention to the victim despite his protests. An in- vestigation by the police brought to light evidence, according to the officers, which stamped his story as false. The police found thumb prints in the blood on the negro's back, and quickly developed the fact that the latter had been engaged in a hand-to-hand grapple with his unidentified assailant. It was de- clared Wiggins had been attacked in “the homs of another when the latter surprised him there.

For shame on those clergymen, who from the safety of their pulpits, dare to assall the patriot- ism of such men. Coming from a Cathollc family that for three generations have shouldered arms in the defense of American liberty, and five of whom gave up life or limb in its service, it becomes positively nauseating to me to have “hot air" patriots in the pulpit and editorial chair, who never smelled gun- powder, tell me that Catholicism and Amer- ican patriotism are inconsistent and in- compatible, when mine has been written in letters of blood. Read up American his- tory, gentlemen, and find out.

Reports reaching the Dahiman club man- agers have led them to the belief that State Game Warden Dan Geilus has not been able to do much In the way of or- ganizing Shallenberger clubs in Douglas county. “We did hear a rumor of one such club being organized some time ago,” sald Tom Fiynn, “but investigation brought out the tact that a disgruntled former city em- ploye was the moving spirit. So far as I can learn, Mr. Getlus or anybody else will have his work cut out in trying to work up sentiment for Shallenberger against Mayor Dahlman. -~ “They are at perfect lberty to try it, because I belleve every effort of that kind will serve to molidity the sentiment for the mayor. Every report we get from outside is encouraging enough to suit anybody, and the mayor's platform seems to. have gone home in many sections where we looked for little or no support.

He wants a shift, and needs & shift, for he must have another market for his sermons.” He spoke of the great opportunities in connection with Sunday school work, in the matter of teaching children. He ex- horted the ministers to work with the children and pointed out the methods which he found successful in England. DEATH RECORD. Harry A. Langdon. NEW YORK, April ll.—Harry A.
