Reglnnlng next Wednesday, August 1, the
harsh, natal twang of the newsagent will
ta heard no moro on Burlington trains.
A general order from the passenger de
partment, which goes Into effect on that
day, will exclude henceforth all venders of
news, fruit, candy, cigars, cheap literature
and divers novelties, the clan which has for
so many yearn been the one dark blot In a
pleasant (lay of travel.
This Idea s not new, with this line, though
the adoption has Just been accomplished.
Three, years ago tbo matter was first agi
tated by heads of the passenger department,
whero the plan originated. At that time It
was definitely determined to put the scheme
Into operation as soon as possible.
On Investigation, however, tho railroad
company found Itself enmeshed In a net
work of contracts connected with tho busi
ness of tho traveling nows agencies and an
lmmcdjato Inauguration of tho chango was
not feasible, nut the Burlington kept Its
eye open and' watched for a chance. When
tho binding contracts had almost expired It
wns free to proceed with tho new proposi
tion and that was just recently.
80 now tho newsagent nuisance will be
excluded from tho entlrn system, but In
dolrig this tho road has been careful not to
deprlvo Its patrons of an opportunity' to
Hccuro tho city newspapers at Tbo earliest
possible moment. Amplo provision for this
tins been arranged. At all the principal
division terminals newsstands havo been
established mid newsboys -will enter the
trains at, these points and pass through
them during thn atopovor selling news
papers niut a limited class of other read
ing matter. In Nebraska such stations will
be maintained at Wymorc, McCook, Hast
ings and Itavcnna, besides Omaha and Lin
coln.
I'npiTH Jlnr He Hud.
Another scheme will provldo for supply
ing tho morning papers at tho earliest pos
slblu hour. Arrangements havo been mado
with Omaha papers" that they may bo sent
out on the western division of the Burling
ton, that botween hero and Denver, hot from
tlm presses, and they wilt gt far enough
out to meet tbo eastbound trains at Hast
ings at about 10 o'clock In the morning
Tbo samo thing will be done on the
other branched. Out on tho northern and
Wyoming divisions toward Dllllngs papers
.will moot tho eastbound trains at Craw
ford, awny up in tho sandhills. On tho
west division the Denver end is arrang
ing tl same plan for papers from that
city. They' will bo sent just as far toward
Omaha as posslblo between tho time they
leayo tho press and meet tho trains for
which they aro designated. Again, the same
'will bo done to the south, toward Lincoln
and Wymore nud Atchison.
At the places whero theso papers are
put on board the trains they will be In
tbo, hands of tho newsboys, who will be
permitted to ride fifty miles or so while
distributing them. They will then leave
tho train and take the next one back to
their atatlons to handle the next batch.
Tho Kansas City and' Chicago lino will
havo,. an extra arrangement, qf .Us own.
j-!nowsboy Wlll,,bo ftlloitfcd'.to .leave'lCan-.
Basicity. at 7:30 In the morning and return
on tho Chicago train, arriving in Kansas
City again at 8:40' the same night'. Thus
passengers into Kansas City will' be fur
nished both morning and afternoon papers
from thero. A similar schemo prevails at
the Chicago end.
Along "only a few sections of the road will
now'aboyH bo allowed to offer anything In
tho way of fruit or tobacco. On all
trains which carry cafe or buffet cars noth
ing but pnpe.es will be sold, as passengers
,can eijcuro tho, other, articles In any quan
tity In thoso cars. IJut where no such
l&ervlco Is maintained fruit and cigars will
be. vended
It Is thought that this chatigo will meet
Nvlth high favor on the part of tho travel
ing public. To anyone who has expe
rienced tho dull pain of bclug pestered
'both by' the. Insistence and the vocalizing
of a newsboy the anticipation alone of
vsuch a relief Is a happiness. Tho move
ment Is ovorywhero considered a progres
sive one and In accordanco with public sen
timent. FORMER OMAHA MAN INJURED

CI ren instances.
Dan Harvey, who was tho editor and pub
Usher of a newspapor at Valley for one
short week, has gone to parts unknown and
several merchants of Fremont are holding
the sack. Last Saturday Harvey hired a
team ot horses and a light road wagon from
Mrs. James Reld of Volloy and drove away
to Fremont. His appnaranco among the
business men of that city with such a lino
rig gave tho Impression that ho was a pros
perous farmer and his trade was readily
solicited. It Is alleged that from the gen
eral store of Eddy Ilros. Harvey purchased
17 worth of groceries and his check on the
Valley bank for $25 was promptly cashed
by tho firm. The Nebraska Harness com
pany gavo him a trunk, a grip and J 11.25 In
cash for another $25 check and a clothing
merchant parted with two suits of clothes
and IS In cash for a JB5 check.
Tuesday Mrs. Held received a letter from
Harvey telling her to send to a certain
livery stablo In Council Bluffs for her
team and vchlclo and that Is tho last heard
from tho former editor of the Valley Star.
Mrs. Reld found her rig at tho Council
Bluffs stable, whero It had been left by
Harvey last Sunday.

IOWA SENATOR TALKS POLITICS

"It looks very much as though A. B.
Cummins will have a walkaway In tho Iowa
gubernatorial contest. None of the other
candidates seem to be within hailing dis
tance ot the Des Moines man," said Thomas
H. Healy of Port Dodge, la., who Is In
Omaha on legal business. Mr. Healy Is a
mombor of the Iowa state senate and Is
thoroughly In touch with Iowa politics.
"John Herrlott seems to bo the leading
candidate for the lieutenant governorship
and will probably bo tho second man on
tho republican ticket," Senator Healy con
tinued. "Judge S. M. Weaver of Iowa Falls
Is the favorlto among tho candidates for the
place on the Iowa supreme bench which
Judgo Olvon has held for twelvo years.
"Thoro have been fnany attempts to split
Mr. Cummins' support, but at no tlmo has
there been any Indication of weakening
among his supporters. The Conger boom
was started about twelve months too late.
People had almost forgotten about the
slcgo ot Pekln and failed to got enthusiastic

to discuss tho status of Omaha Interests In
tho vicinity of Beaumont and Port Arthur,

BONDS TO TAKE UP INDEBTEDNESS

Contltine HrlsU Prayer
for Hitln.
Tho city council will, at Its next meet
ing, appoint a committee to investigate
the number and description of the cer
tain special assessment districts which
have been held Illegal by the district
court and no appeal taken to tho supreme
court, with the view of Issuing bonds to
take up the Indebtedness now against such
districts on account ot theso assessments.
During the term of City Attorney Lam
bert all cases to enjoin tho city IVoin the
collection of taxes assessed against prop
erty for special assessment work, where
the decision was adverse to tho city, have
been appealed to the supreme court of the
state, bo that the action of tho council
In voting bonds will not cover these dis
tricts. However, there are a lo of the districts
whero the city treasurer haB canceled the
taxes off of the records of tho city by or
der of the district court decrees and the
finding of the district court not appealed
from. It Is these cases that the council
desires to reach.
How this will affect the question of a re
assessment of tho city Is not known. Mr.
Lambert seems firm In his position that a
reassessment of all the void special assess
monts enn be made and the property which
has been benefited by the grading, paving
and curbing can bo charged with the
amount of money the city has been forced
to expend in order to got tho Improve
ments. Of course, this will rest entirely with
tho council, which will or wilt not ap
prove this policy of reasetssment. There
nre many who seem to feel that, notwith
standing special property has been bene
fited by the Improvements made, still It
has been a benefit to the town In general
nnd that Its expense should be covered" by
general nnd not special taxation.
Nothing will bo dono with tho matter
of the now bond Issue until tho return of
Mayor Kelly and City Attorney Lambert,
but by that time all of the facts In con
nection with tho districts which have been
declared void will have been obtained and
no delay will be occasioned on this score.
Don't Wnnt City Money.
As yet no bids havo been received by
City Clerk Shrlglcy In response to his pub
lished notice for bids for the depository
of tho city funds. None of the South
Omaha banks have seen fit to npply for tho
money. Mr. Shrlglcy said yesterday that
a mistake had been made In the published
notlco for bids and that It will close on
July 2D Instead of July 28. It seems to be
tho general Impression that no bids will
bo received. What tho city will do In
this caso Is not known. Tho charter says
that tho money shall bo deposited In the
bank offering the most for the prlvllcgo
of keeping the money.
nnlldlnsr oe TttRht On.
Tho fears which are entertained as to the
prospects for fall trado over the state and
In this city do not seem to have affected
South Omaha building and the work Is
going on merrily. Hardly any year In
the history of the town will show as good a
record for the erection of fine residence
property as will 1001. While but few per
mits have been Issued during the past two
weeks, yet work Is bolng begun each day
on permits previously granted and tho bulk
of them will tend to beautify the town In
general. Not much has been dono on the
lots which-have been sold In the new addi
tions to the town, although many of the
buyers contemplato erecting fine residences
upon thoro. Tho salo of addition lots has
beon very satisfactory to the local real
estate men.
Night Air Illdeon.
Parties living In tho vicinity of Twenty
sixth and N streots complained to the po
lice yesterday that their rest had beon dis
turbed early yesterday morning by a
drunken brawl In a saloon located on the
alley between Twenty-fifth and Twenty
sixth streets on N. It Is claimed that a
man became crazed by either tho heat 6r
liquor nnd that a lot of drunken hangers-on
chased him up and down the street, curling
nnd kicking him and knocking him down,
while ho gave evidence of fright and pain
by discordant yells and howls. Some of tho
residents of this portion of the street at
last wero compelled to appear upon the
street and stop tho disgraceful affray before
any rest could be secured.
Pear of Fire Fighter.
Owing to the lack of rain the buildings
of the city aro perfectly dry apd the flro
department peoplo say they aro afraid
of fires. Thoro aro several largo frame
blocks In tho center of the city and In the
event I'.ro should start in nny of theso
It would be almost a matter of Impossibil
ity to copo with the flames. Tho several
Hmnll fires recently have taught tho de
partment how serious aro present condi
tions In this regard. The city la taking
every,, precaution to prevent fires of any
description nnd patrolmen are stopping all
burning ot rubbish.
Twenty-Fourth Street Oradlns.
Tho grading which Is being done at the
lower end of Twenty-fourth street Is pro
gressing slowly. Tho ground Is In no con
dition to be worked, tho dust being from
six Inches to a foot In depth. The graders
said last week that unless rain soon fell
they would bo forced to abandon their
work. No rain has come to thalr relief, but
they continue to work at the grade, while
a heavy bank of dust hangs over them at all
times during the day. Several of the
graders havo quit their Job, saying that It
was dangerous.
JVevr Fire Hall Unequipped.
Notwithstanding that tho council two
weeks ago ordered tho fire and wnter com
mittee to go ahead and order what equip
ments were necessary to put tho new Sec
ond ward fire hall In uso, none ot the ap
paratus has as yet arrived and the fire
station Is almost unfit tor use. Considering
tho grave fears of the department over the
conditions of property, extra effort will be
made to secure this stuff at once.

STORAGE OF THE SOIL WATER
Experience of the Last Month Ein
phalr.ea the .ceslty of Cov
ering the Moisture.
The oxperlenco of the avcrago farmer tho
last month In the major part of the semi-
arid belt Is only another gentle reminder
that oll moisture Is an Important factor In
tho growing of crops. I hope that there
are many mote who will try a small piece
of land to satiety themselves ot the cor
rectness ot tho fact that tho farmer him
self by his own Intelligent nnd observing
efforts can control very largely the quan
tity ot available moisture. Now Is the time
to begin the work of storing for tho next
season's crops. Just as soon as the wheat
crop Is removed the surface should be thor
oughly, disked. Whllo It may seem that this
season is very dry and It Is almost use
less to put It tho time, yet It Is an Im
portant part ot the work. Thero Is no way
ot telling what the coming season may be.
Too much trusting to a kind providence
without any effort on your part may land
you on the side of the shorts. The break
ing ot tho crust and mixing of tho stubblt
with tho surface soli not only prevent the
further evaporation or loss ot moisture In
the soil, but puts tho surface In the best
possible condition to take the rain waters
quickly Into tho ground.
If you wish to make a success ot farm
ing In tho scml-arld belt you must watch
every possible opportunity to store and con
serve the rainfall In the toll. In the New
England states, New York, Pennsylvania
and mauy other eastern states they lose
no opportunity to save the manures.
Everything posslblo about the farm Is gath
ered up and In every i.ncelvable way util
ized to convert It Into manures to be mixed
Into the soil. It requires no argument to
convince tho average eastern farmer that
this Is Importnnt and vital to successful
crop growing. Tho farmers In the scral-'
nrld belt should glvo Just as close and per
sistent attention to tho storing and con
serving of the rain waters In the soil. The
prairies of this great belt aro full of humus
and they are even more fertile In their
natural stnto than tho eastern soils are
after the liberal application ot barnyard
manures. The only thing needful Is ample
available moisture which can bo stored by
proper cultivation.
Tho present long and excessively hot,
windy period Is ot Itself one of the broad
est and most completo Illustrations of the
effect of rain waters stored In the soil. Tho
last half of March and the first half ot April
was almost one continuous rain. Tho rain
came Just fast enough so the soli took it all
In. In the major part of central and (west
ern Nebraska nnd Kansas tho soil was
soaked down nearly or quite two feet. This
depth ot soli was not simply moist but wet.
From July 1 to July 4 many were saying:
"Our corn can't stand this kind of weather
more than one or two days longer." But to
day, with even hotter weather, the majority
of tho cornfields are still looking well. Why
la It7 For no other reason than that there
was a large amount of molstura stored In
the soli under the corn from which the
roots have been ablo, not only to draw
sufficient moisture to keep the corn In con
dition, but to keep It growing In most caies.
Think ot these facta and conditions. Some
ot tbo clearest and most convincing lessons
are those provided by nature and only ro
quire thought and observation to convince
tho most skeptical mind.
On tho Pomeroy model farm may bo seen
very convincing evidence, of the effect of
proper cultivation In the storing and con
serving of rainwater. A sjxty-acre field Is
now being plqwed that was double-disked
early In March that Is, tho disk harrow
was lapped half Its width. As soon as tho
long rain of the first half of April was over
the field was gone over with the Acme pul
verizing harrow tho most valuable tool for
the work becauso It thoroughly pulverizes
and loosens the soil two Inches deep. At
two different times later the Acme was
used and tho weeds kept clean from the
field. In return for this work, which has
cost all told up to the plowing 60 cents per
acre, wo havo our soil wet down over throe
feet so moist that the soil may be very
readily pressed Into mud balls with the
bands. A field tb.it was left bare, and no
cultivation given It, but weeds nllowed
grow, shows no perceptible moisture down
the same depth, while the entire portion
1b dry and hard. To plow this field would
bo almost Impossible, while tho part the
moisture has been conserved In is in per
fect condition to plow.
Thero nre two remarkable lessons that
may bo learned from this field:
First That large quantities of moisture
may bo stored In the soli by proper cultiva
tion to grow crops with.
SecondThat summer fallowing practiced
after the plans that we are pursuing, with
results as above described. Is quite different
from that so common over tho west of
doing absolutely nothing until the. plowing
Is dono In July.
If it pays to plow In July for a crop of
spring wheat or corn tho. following year,
candidly, will It not pay to put In the extra
60 cents worth of work and have the
extra surplus of molsturo and the vast dlf
ference In tbo physical condition ot the
soil? Don't let another season go by with
out careful work to conserve the molsturo
on at lcait a small piece ot ground. Seeing
