. The reports of rains continue to pour In
Irom the various railroad headquarters with
Lnost refreshing and encouraging frequency ,
Ind are In a great measure dissipating the
pig scare among farmers and s'ocknien. All
hlone the Union Pacific , the II. ft. M. , Hlk-
horn and various other lines radiating from
'
this point throughout the state come thu
plail tidings of a restoration of hope for at
least a good halt crop.
As If by the magic wand of necromancy ,
the face of the whole country todiiy presents n
.Vastly different nsppct from that of seventy-
two hours ago. The pastures are rapidly
hssumlng the emerald tint of thrift and thu
corn on all hands has straightened up and
Improved In a way that cheers the agri
culturist's heart , and as usual the calamity
liowl sccniB to have boon raised prematurely.
Word at the Union Pacific headquarters has
it there was a light but glorious rain from
I I Central City to Columbus at G o'clock Tues
day night , heavier from Columbus to North
fiend at 9 o'clock and a fair downpour on
the O. N. & I ) . 11. at C that evening. A
Rood rain fell over all the territory between
Gothenburg anil Elm Creek and a hard rain
' nil ovur the 0. & It. V. territory at 5
o'clock yesterday morning , also a heavy fall
t from Wallace to Lima on the Kansas Pacific.
On the II. & M. yesterday morning
thcro was a quarter of an Inch of
\vatcr fell at Plathsmouth , Ashland and
Lincoln , but little at Waverly. On
the Schuyler branch , from Lincoln
to Kearney , at Aurora , aermun-
town , and otlnr Immediate points , a light
fall , with prospects of more. Krom Prague
to Schuyler there was a splendid rain , also
at Hampton , Dradshaw , Garrison , Dcnton ,
Harvard , Hastings and Button.
On the Nlobrara and Hlack Hills branch
Of the Union Pacific , north to Norfolk , then
were good rains , also a hard shower along
the whole of the Omaha & Republican Val
ley , south ; a light fall along the Albion and
Cedar Rapids branch , but good quantities
nt Stromsburg , Beatrice , IJavId City and
Falrbury ; also down through Kansas. In
all this region the corn has looked up a
hundred per cent or more , despite the
stories of absolute destruction.
Figment of u lllHiinlrri-il llriiin.
A telegram dated August 1 from Portland ,
Ore. , says : "A local paper says : There Is
a well defined Impression In local railway
circles that II. W. Uaxter , former assistant
general superlntedent of the Union Pacific ,
will be made receiver of the Oregon Short
Line and Utah & Northern. It Is well
known that the Union Pacific Interests made
a vigorous effort to secure the appoint
ment of Mr. Daxter as receiver of
the Oregon Hallway & Navigation
railroad previous to Mr. Neil's ap
pointment , but the Sage Interests controll-
Inc the bonds dictated the course pursued
and the appointment of Mr. Neil followed.
Falling In their first attempt , It Is believed
that tlio Union Pacific will make a great
effort to have Mr. Daxter made receiver of
the Short Line. This Is a line the Unlim
Pacific cannot afford to lose , as It Is a most
important feeder of the main line and under
Independent management connections might
bo made Mttn the Denver & Rio Grande ,
which would divide the business between the
trdnsmlssourl lines at Denver to the loss of
the Union Pacific. The fact that the ccmr
mlttce of bondholders of the Oregon Fhort
Line and Utah Northern has announced its
intention to work In harmony with the Union
. . { Pacific receivers Is taken as an evidence that
the larger system has a strong mill < .n the
bondholders and maybe It will enable the
Union Pacific to accomplish with the Oregon
Short Line what It failed to do with tl-e
Oregon Railway & Navigation , the appoint
ment of a Union Pacific man as receiver"
The above Is a sample of the rot Incu
bated In the brain of the over enterprising
and ubiquitous railroad reporter by the In
nocent movements of railroad men , With
the average railroad reporter , If any nfllclal
turns 'round suddenly , walks real fnst or
looks over his shoulder , It means that the
road he is connected with Is either go.'ng '
to the eternal demnltlons , bo injuncted ,
fired Into the court or wrapped up In
brown paper and handed over to the tender
mercies of a receiver. And the Oregon man
is no exception to the rule. This Daxter
business Is all guff , pure and simple. Mr.
Baxter , along with General Manger Dlckln-
EOII , Superintendent McConnell , Purchasing
Agent GrlllHh and Lawyer Kelly , Is Inter
ested In a little gold mine snap down
ner Huntlngton , and was called hither to
look over and Inspect the same with his
copartners. The fact that Uaxter dared
to colno east from Portland has caused
the omnlscent Portland newspaper man to
think for a lack of something moro plausi
ble that ho was certainly on his way to
receive his Christmas present In advance in
the shape of a receivership for the Oregon
Short Line.

- The efforts of the Union Pacific freight
'department seem to bo bent In the direction
of the movement of range cattle from the
Utah and Oregon Short Line country toward
South Omaha and the Kansas City markets ,
with prospects of the best results. The feed
is mugnlllccnt and cattle that have been
claused as "feeders" heretofore are now
making marketable beef on account of the
superior nourishing and succulent qualities
of the grasses , which Is much better In this
country this season than for years. So It Is
largely a beef proposition this year with th *
railways and stock yards.

Wo consider that the business men of
Omatm should understand that In this mat
ter of a big production for the purpose of
bringing people Into our city this fall that
there Is a much better proposition now be
fore them by which they can make clear of
nil expenses as much as they are requested
to contribute to tlio management of Mr. P.ilnc.
Mr. Paine first proposes to take $ lli,000 out
of Omaha and out of Courtlind beach $5,000
more , that means $20,000 that will be given
to them by the citizens of Omaha. Now
Omaha business men should look at the
other side of the picture. We propose that
the citizens of Omaha should share In all
the profits , and nt the expiration nt the
engagement they would own all the scenery ,
grand stand , ticket olflccs , fence and other
properties , which would be a starter for
next year's production , and all the expenses
would not be as much as the $11.000 Omaha
proposes to expend. The production can be
put on as well without Mr. Paine and his
$15.000 guarantee as with It , and all the
profits go to the Investors , who should re-
celvo the benefit.
This Is not an experiment. V.'c have
the men who are each experts and who
have had abundant experience , and are able
to produce the pageant In. . a masterly man

A Cure for Chronic Illurrliocn ,
I had been troubled with chronic diar
rhoea for over a year when I received a
small botle of Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy , which I used and It
gave me great relief. I then procured a
tO-cent bottle and took about two-thirds of
It , and was cured. I have taken some twice
tlnco when I had a locsncss come on and It
stopped It at once. I hope It will help
others as It helped me. I feel very thankful
to Mr. Stearns , thu drugglbt , for telling nu
of thin remedy and shall be glad to have

The committee on men and discipline of
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
mot In Chief Scavey's office yesterday after
noon to Inquire Into the trouble between
Olllcers Ravenkamp and Gustavlson the other
night. From the testimony It appears that
Olllcer Ravenkamp had occasion to warn
some women against the careless handling
of fire , as an awning had been set on fire
by their carclessencss. It so happened that
these women were members of Officer Gus-
tavlson's family. He heard of the action of
the other olllcer and became very angry , fol
lowing Ravenkamp down on his beat and
abusing him roundly , using considerable pro
fanity , The committee and chief hauled
Gustavlson over the coals , and the chief said
that Ravemkamp should have locked Guatar-
Ison up for disorderly conduct. The commit
tee will file Its report at the regular meeting
of the police board next Monday night , and It
Is possible that Gustavlson will have charges
preferred against him by the chief.

BOND ELECTION POSTPONED.
Flatto Caual Proposition Not to Bo Vototi on
for Sjmo Tinio.
COUNTY BOARD RECONSIDERS ITS ACTION
Wits found Impossible to 1'rrpnra for tlio
fipccl.it iii'ctlim : on Account of tlio
New ItrgUtriitloii Required bjr '
Ulmngcd Ward lloiindurlcs.
The county commissioners held a brief ses
sion yesterday afternoon , and after allowing
a few claims rescinded tbelr action with
reference to the canal proposition to the
extent that the clerk was Instructed not to
advertise the proposition and ordering the re
turn of the bond for the expenses of the
special election. The matter now rests just
where It did before the action of last week.
The whole question Is with the committee
of the whole , where It will reit until a
later date. II. T. Clarke , vice president of
the canal company , appeared before the
board and nskcd that the resolution by which
the proposition to vote the $1,000,000 sub
sidy to the company was to be submitted
to the county on September bo recon
sidered and referred to the committee'
the whole for further action at a later date.
Paddock was In favor at first of expunging
from the records all reference to the action
of the commissioners regarding the canal
proposition , but Stenbcru and Llvesey were
anxious that the entire record stand , and
Paddock withdrew his motion to expunge.
The reason of this action Is the fact that
a new registration , required since the re
defining of the ward and precinct boun
daries , could not bo had until just previous
to the regular election In November. Sec
tion 8 of the law governing registration In
cities of the metropolitan class is as follows :
Hereafter there shall. In cities governed
by the provisions of thin nut , be a general
registration of the qualified voters resident
In each election precinct in snld cities , at
the times herein below provided , and then
only : On Tuesday , four weckM , the Wednes
day of the third week , on Thursday of the
second week and the Friday and Saturday
of the first week , preceding the day of the
November election In each year. For each
and every election held In any of the said
cities , other than such as are designated
In this section , there shall bo a revision of
the general registration had , as provided In
this act , which revision shall be made on
the Friday and Saturday of the second
week and on the Saturday of the first week
preceding the day of each and every such
election.
It Is argued that as the remodeling of the
wards and precincts makes an entirely new-
registration necessary this registration could
not possibly be considered us a revision and
consequently will have to be made as speci
fied by the law during the four weeks Imme
diately preceding the general election In
November.
The mutter was discussed at a meeting of
the canal company Tuesday afternoon and
also to some extent at the committee meet
ing of the city council. It was suggested
that the difficulty might be avoided by re-
conslderliiR the action by which the city
was redlstrlcted and holding the election
under the former division , leaving the ordi
nance which revised the boundaries to be
again taken up and passed later in the year.
It was shown , however , that the time for
such action had paused , as the assessors had
made tholr returns based upon the new di
vision and the effect of repealing the ordi
nance would be to Invalidate the 1S05 tax
levy. It was understood after a thorough
discussion of the question that the special
election should be abandoned and that the
matter would be allowed to rest until the
general election in November.

a special gold medal. The award was for
highest leavening power , perfect purity and

INSPECTJQfEKTHE PIPES.

I'urnj'/t Jtcmrily ,
The water work * : company is now relaying1
tlio , mains In the-neighborhood of Twentlotl
and Nicholas streets. About 1,000 feet o
the eight-Inch maln > on Nicholas will have
to be replaced and- fully 2,000 feet of the
sir-Inch pipe on Twentieth street north o
Ginning. The pipe has been In use nbou
eighteen months and Is badly eaten by clcc
trolysls. Yesterday afternoon Superintend
cnt Lane of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany , Chris Hurtmnn , Assistant City Engl
nccr Stanger and several other gentlcmci
examined the mains with Supcrlntenden
Hunt of the water works company ,
I The effects of the electrolysis did not differ
to any extent from those observed In pro
vlous Investigations. Scarcely a section o
i the mains In that vicinity failed to prcsen
' some evidence of the work of the electric
; current , the lengths that lay immediately
under the street car tracks being especially
marked. The pipe was pitted from ono cm
to the other with holes eaten by the clcc
trlclty , and when struck with a hammer
huge scales peeled off , leaving only a tlilt
cylinder of Iron. In many places the pipes
were eaten entirely through , and one hole
was observed fully two Inches in diameter.
One of the most remarkable features o
the process Is the change worked In the In
gredients of the Iron. While cast Iron Is
supposed to contain but little over 5 per
cent of silica and carbon , the specimens o
pipe examined by Father Rlggo which hai
been exposed to the electric current showei
the presence of fully 90 per cent of thcso
materials. This forms a metal that can bo
whittled with a knife ns easily as plum
bago , while the particles of Iron arc scat
tered all through the surrounding clay.
When the Injury to the pipes was flrsi
discovered , and before It was known thai
the damage was caused by electricity , Major
Ftiray advised a friend of his to lay his
water pipes enclosed In vitrified clay sewer
pipe. The major did not know at the time
what he was. propo.slng a remedy for , bul
the other day the pipe In question was dug
up and found perfectly Intact. The cl.iy
acted as a non onductor , and ns the Joints
were perfectly sealed the electric current
had not reached the Iron. This Idea Is now
being acted on to some extent , and n num
ber of water connections which have been
laid recently have been enclosed In the clay
Pipe.

of her having taken the deadly drug was
not discovered until a few moments prior to
her demise and then Dr. Glnn , the family

the woman had expired.
Whether or not the woman took the mix

it Was a suicide , financial troubles were not

Grossman testified that his patient had been
hopelessly Insane for the past three months ,

which would eventually result fatally. Other
evidence supported this statement and Judge
Baxter granted the application. W. A.
Paxton was appointed as guardian and his

Mr. Ramge was estimated by the witnesses
as worth not far from $20,000.

Sounds "odd" but it fits the case precisely After
a destructive cyclone , you "clear the debris , " and to
wipe it out of memory you must sweep it clean
after a hurricane of business as it is customary to
the Nebraska it behooves us to "clear away the
debris , " or , perhaps , more Bostonishly expressed ,
'To dismiss the superfluous conglomeration of un
welcome accumulations. "
Right here in Omaha we call 'em odds and
ends good honest merchandise they arc to be
sure but of no value to us , because \vo never car
ry goods to next season and above all , we never
begin a season on broken stock ,
You'll find , by carefully looking over , some
thing you can use , in every department and if it
* be your style and fit there is a golden strike right
there because the price is likely one half what it
used to be or , perhaps a trifle above.
In our suit department we have a good many
broken lots of suits can't very well sell 'cm down
to the root , because we have always such a tremendous
deus collection same case with the trousers de
partment fcr the same reason we have some rem.
nants in our boys' and children's department and
iu our hat department and in our shoe department
and more so in our men's furnishing stock in
shirts underwear and the like , where the supply
and demand is tremendous.
We firmly believe in cleaning house of broken
lots experience taught us so and we therefore
apply the broom of reduction , and dust off the last
vestige of profit and often below the price they
could be manufactured at.
A sale for mutual benefit we clean house
you save the stuff.
