STREET WORK
IS BEING PUSHED
TO A FINISH
Good Weather Would Enable Con-
tractor to Get Work Out of
Way in a Few Days.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The long task of laying the sew
ers and repaying Main street is fast
drawing to a finish and if the con
tractor. Cert Coleman, is given a few
days of good weather he could have
the base of the paving all in and the
job ready for the laying of the brick
which will be the last touches to the
work.
The first part of the summer when
the work was started Mr. Coleman i
was hampered in the preparation for
the laying of the base by the rains !
and the necessity o: the water com- j
pany having to move their mains
over and it was some time after the !
time desired before the actual work ; p
of placing in the sewer and the pav-j
ing was started. I
In the last few months, however, I
the fine summer weather permitted
the work to be hurried and now it is
onlv a matter of a short time until
the street can be used as far as 6th
street and in a very brief time the
last block will have the base ready
and the street open for traffic.
The sewer has several finishing
touches to be made before it will be
ready but has been all completed as
far as Main and 6th streets and here
there will be the necessity of laying
the pipe lines as far as the alleys for
the additional inlets to the sewer '.
while in a number of the places :
where the fire hydrants have been
placed there will be some small work j
to be made and the inlets to the sew- .
er placed.
A greater part of the curb has yet
to be placed in position and the lay-j
ing of the sidewalks that have been
more or less torn p iun the repair

cable for the new electroliers will j The confirmation class was com
also be looked after at this time al- posed of Florence Fornoff, Arthur,
though this is no part of the work of
the contractor. .....
In the block from Sixth to Fev-
emh street the Ions standing argu-
ment as to a parkway or not, seems
to have been won by the advocates
of the parkway as the forms are be
ing placed for the curbing along the
park. This will cut down to a con
siderable degree the parking facili
ties for autos on Main street as the 1
traffic will not permit very extensive
parking on the sides of the street in
stead of the center as at present.

In this particular case, the result
of the free and easy methods of home

GARAGE AT UNION
HAS UNWELCOME
NIGHTTIME VISIT
Burglars Make Off With Dczen Cas
ings From Stock in Building
Early Sunday Morning.
from Alonday'B Oatlv
The visitations of burglars in our
neighboring town of Union have been
very frequent in the past, and un
like the proverbial lightning that
does not strike twice in the same
place, the unwelcome visitors are
not so particular and some time Sun
day morning entered the Dowler ga
rage and for the third time robbed
the garage!
The articles taken consisted of a
dozen casings and as far as could be
ascertained by Sheriff Quinton the
robbery occurred some time after 3
o'clock in the morning as at that
time Mr. Dowler left the building
and retired to his home and the cas
ings were still in the building at that
time. On opening up the garage yes
terday morning it was found that
some one had forced open a window
in the rear of the building and had
made away with the casings. The
tracks of an auto were found near
the window and the indications point
to the fact that the parties who pull
ed off the stunt had escaped either
to Lincoln or points to the south.
When the robbery was discovered
several hours had elapsed and had
given the parties an opportunity of
making their getaway from the
scene.
PRESENTS VALUABLE BOOKS
Mrs. Fannie Dickson, who has
made arrangements to make her
home at Lincoln for the present at

made the high school a present of a
very valuabule set of books, "The
Letters and State Papers of the Presi
dents." covering the documents of
note from the heads of the govern
meut from George Washington down
to and including Woodrow Wilson.
The works are very valuable from an
educational standpoint and certainly
will be appreciated by the students
of the high school.

CORN NOW OUT
OF DANGER FROM
ANJARLY FROST
Hct Spell Damaged About CO Per
Cent of Crop Over State Dry
Pastures in Ncrtheast.
Norfolk. Neb., S.pt. IS. The f.nal
crop summary north Nebraska and
soutrern South Dakota indicates that
practically all of the corn in north
Nebraska and souther:; South Dakota
is reported out of froM danger by
farmers who have mad a Fiirvcy of
the conditions. The corn ha:s ripened
rapidly during the past three weeks
and many samples comir.g to Norfolk
indicate setting is so far along that
a killing frost can do no damage. It
is estimated that the hot spell in th
corn sections damaged about 30 per
cent of the corn crop, altho general
estimates are made from Do to 7 5 per
cent of last year's yield. In some sec
tions of north Nebraska the hot
weather did practically no damape
while in other Bert ions half of the
corn was hit by the dry spell, mak
ing the end kernels chaffy and cut
ting down the quantity and quality
of corn.
Notwithstanding dry pasture
which are general following ihe hot
season livestock in north Nebraska
is in splendid condition due to plenty
of hay and other feed. Marketing of
livestock has been heavy, the pre
cincts from north Nebraska territory
to the Siot'.x City, Omaha and Chica
go markets being unusually he: y.
Including the range stock eleven
trainloads of the livestock passed
thrh Norfolk on one day this week
for the market. County fairs record
the fact that the livestock increase
in these localities has been unusually
heavy this year. A marked interest
is shown in the work of the junior
livestock club in various north Ne
braska counties.
Prospect for rye and wheat are not
as good as Las been hoped for. altho
a large amount of the plowing has
been done under favorable circum
stances, the last few weeks Las held
up his work on account of dry con
ditions. Generall3 it has been a great crop
year in north Nebraska and Includ
ed in this bright situation is the
fruit crop which has never been bet
ter than this season. General busi
ness shows a trend to healthy prog
ress due to market of crops and the
prospects of an end of the railroad
strike.
