Those btiey or lore affluent oncH who have
been held In town during the summer with
Btiff. starched thing nbout their throats
nnd wrists are beginning lo realize what
happlnesB has not been theirs. Tor lake
nnd mountain are beginning to yield up
their ndoptrd children nnd sunburned fares
aro seen on city streets. The Iakr have
proved the main attraction, for wnler offers
mnro ptoslbllltle for gonl times than any
other treated medium. Men nnd women
who glvo themselves over to arduous con
venllonalltles In the winter season have
tented tho sweetness of primeval conditions
and have subsisted in bacon, eggs and milk
with cnthiisloMn nnd notable nppetltes.
"You would be surprised," said a society
girl who has Just returned from Uik Oko
bojl, "at tho number of Omaha pcoplo
scattered along tho banks of OkoboJI nnd
Spirit Lake, some In tents, somo In cottages
nnd some nt the more pretentious hotels; nil
with no limit to their time and no earthly
dcslro beyond three nienls a day. They
dress In most any old clothes that are
handy and comfortable. Coats and collars
aro left In trunk bottoms and style dictates
that sleeves must be rolled to tho elbow. In
su h raiment they aro able to banish that
drrad thing formality.
"Tho sailing races arc tho chief source
of excitement to those who still take an
active hold on life, anil Omaha has gen
erally crrescd the lino first, with Dea
Molnm. Sioux City nnd other towns strag
gling along nlmost anywhero In tho rear.
There are two races a week nnd I was
fortunate enough to witness three I was
asleep when tho others came off.
"In the first race there were n flock of
twenty-one boats, their canvas spreading to
the wind like tho wings of Immense birds.
The "Nit." owned by Lacey I'attcrson of
Omaha, finished the Bevcn-mlle triangular
courso first, In a little over fifty-two
minutes. In tho second race tho 'Helen,'
whoso 400 feet of canvas was handled by
Howard Clark of Omaha, lowered even tho
'Nit's' record. Tho wind was unfavorable
In the third race and no Omaha boat got a
place.
"Of course It Is dllTlciilt to get nt any
reliable figures In the way of fish catches.
Tho largest fish I saw was hooked by Oerald
Wharton. Kvcrybody except Jerry thought
It must weigh at least ten pounds, but he
thinks It weighed twenty-five. It was ex
citing to hear his story of Its capture, after
an hour's struggle In which fish nnd captor
almost went to the bottom together.
"Jerry brought his fish to Pike Point,
where a number of Omaha pcoplo are stay
ing. In the house occupied this year by
Mr. Cooley'B family Is nn nnclcnt writing
desk with n plain board top, This has
been used as n register glnco tho days when
Omaha people llrst began visiting there.
Among the names nrc: I tattle Cndy, Sue
Colpotzor, Iva Kennard, Mao Dartlett, Jo

others. Tho dates rango nil tho way from

WESTBERG REFUSES TO BUDGE
City Comptroller Is Connilont (lint Hie
Council Cannot Comprl lllni
(o Cnncel Tiixi'N.
City Comptroller John N. Wcstberg Is con
fident that ho has taken tho propor stand In
refusing to cancel taxes In accordance with
resolutions passed by tho council and will
not toko any action until tho matter has
been settled In court. Mr. Wcstberg says
ho has found several decisions the courts
of Nebraska havo given In similar cases
which assure htm that hla position Is tho
correct one.
Mr. Weatberg maintains that the council
has a right to cancol taxes only when sit
ting ns a board of equalization and asserts
that taxes aro entirely out of its hands after
tho lists have been turned over to the treas
urer and comptroller. Ho further holds that
the councllmen can be sued on their bond
for all taxes canceled after tho tlmo pro
vided for equalization has elapsed.

Ho knows n thing or two himself
About falso prophets
And he looks a little out
For cooler days.

Still wrap our coats about us
That wo may freely,
Sweetly sweat
And keep darn hot!

An Interesting nnd tmportant meeting of
tho Commercial club was held Friday night.
For somo tlmo there has been talk going
about that n street fair to be given this
fall would bo very acceplnble to the business
houses nnd citizens generally In South
Omaha nnd yt the meeting of tho club the
mutter was officially taken up.
Thero was a full delegation present and
everyone seemed enthusiastic over the prop
osition. Different plans were proposed by
tho members present for the giving of the
nffalr, but none wns decided upon and will
not bo until a later date.
The originators of tho proposition deslro
to havo tho fnlr held during Ak-Sar-non
week. They say that Omaha's attraction Is
mostly an evening display and that If the
affair In South Omaha Is made distinctly n
day nttractlou tho Omaha crowd can be
drawn hero during that portion of the day.
If this plan meets with the approval of the
Ak-Sar-Ben managers both of the at
tractions will he ndvortlscd Jointly through
out tho stnto.
A delegntlou was appointed by the presi
dent of tho club to confer with the Ak-Sar-Ben
people to bco what arrangements
could bo made. That commltttee was com
posed of tho following named persons: John
Flynn, Mayor A. H. Kelly, James IHstlngs,
E. L. Culver, H. M. Christie, T. J. O'Nell,
E. T. Miller, C. A. Mclchor, Charles Scarr
nnd W. P. Adklns. They will Immediately
arrange for n date when they can meet tho
Omaha pcoplo nnd then report to tho club.
The paving of Twenty-fourth street wns
ngnln taken up. A committee of tho club Is
circulating two petitions along this line. One
Is for the paving of Twenty-fourth street
from Q Btreet to Ucllevuo street and the
other Is for tho paving of Bellevuo street
to n point where It Intersects with the
Union Pacific right of way. The members
of tho commtttco reported that they wore
having success with their work and that the
rcquislto signers can undoubtedly be se
cured. Tho paving of these streets has for a
long tlmo attracted tho attention of tho
taxpayers of tho city and repeated efforts
to havo tho present plans consummated havo
been made without success. However, It
now seems that thero Is sufficient co-opera
tion with tho abutting property owners to
sccuro the paving.

Tho flro dopartment practically finished
tho street bath It was administering yes

peared a mas3 of dobris and dirt, Is now
neat nnd elenn. Tho streets that were
operated upon wero principally Twenty
fourth nnd Twenty-fifth, from M to N, and
N street, from Twenty-fourth to Twenty
Eoventh. Tho forco of tho water carried
before It not only tho dirt, hut also stones
that had boon lying upon tho streets for
some time. While nt work yesterday nft
ernoon nt tho corner of Twenty-fifth nnd
N streets ono of the nozzle holders slipped
nnd fell, causing tho water to pour Into
the midst of a crowd that had congre
gated on tho corner, watching the work
progress. Tho crowd was scattered, but
tho rain that began to fall later In tho
afternoon furnished It a reasonable ex
cuse for Its renppenrance.

Following up tho controversy that haB
existed In tho city council for a long tlmo
over tho purchnso of a fire engine In South
Omaha, a committee hns wnltcd upon tho
different managers of tho packing houses
with a vlow of getting thorn to contribute
to tho fund for Its purchase. Tho com
mittee was partially successful In Its ef
forts, for It was yesterday given out that
tho packing houses had signified their In
tention of subscribing to tho fund. Whether
or not tills means tho purchnso of n mod
ern flro engine, or that of a chemical
wngon, such as has been suggested by
Chief Etter. Is not known. It is thought
that ono of tho two will bo purchased In
tho near future.
