THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AtTOI'ST 30. 1903. WES BY THE WAYSIDE1 0 bsemtiona on EreoU of Pa .sing Intarest Sera and Then. ABOUT OUR PASSENGER STATION COMFORT torn Iteflertloas ggeted hy the Faoerol of a Well Kitm Mer cheat of OaiU Lately Deceased. F. Hopklnson Smith, author and lecturer, baa a clever skit In the current number of Bcrlbner's, entitled "X Night Out." It does not deecrlbe a night out for the de lectation of tm chronle rounder, but gives the writer' personal experiences trying to make railway connection on a bid night and to meet a professional appoint ment that left a narrow margin for travel ing. The cleverness of the contribution Ilea In the pen picture It given, contrast ing the railway station at Battle Creek with that at Jackson, both In the gool state of Michigan. The Jackson tourist resort Is a "remnant of the Middle Ages" with signs up admonishing "no loitering here" as If anyone would want to loiter. The Battle Creek station on the other ' hand Is depleted as "a little gem of a station," that "looks like a library without books," and In his enthusiasm he goes cm to call It "a cosy box of a place full of curved alcoves and hair-round recesses with still smaller windows and a silver plated Ice pitcher and two silver-plated goblet unchained (truth vouched for) and big easy chair, Ave or six of them, some wlckerwork with cushions and a straw lounge big enough and long enough to stretch out on at full length." 8uch lux ury coupled with station attendant really polite and accommodating, deserved to be embalmed In lasting history. What strikes particularly home in this to any one living In Omaha Is that the contrast drawn by P. Hopklnson Smith might lust as well have grown out of two visit to Omaha, one before and one after our new railway stations were erected. That a town make Its reputation with the traveling public largely by the Impression It conveys at thai railway station Is almost a truism. We may be allowed to Imagine that If F. Hopklnson Smith had had part of his night out In Omaha w might have come la for soma of the bouquets he baa thrown at Battle Creek. In. fact. If he had come along one afternoon not so long ago he might have found the waiting room In one of our railway stations being used a ..reception hall for the entertainment of dletlnrulshed aruests and servlna the pur pose as well as any parlor. Our stations might be Improved In equipment for the summer months at least, by having more seats for waiting passengers outside under the train sheds, where fresh air is avail able and occasionally the distemper of the uniformed attendants will crop out. The two stations, moreover, could be made much more convenient to passengers transferring from one to the other If they were connected by a Kunnel under the tracks separating them seeing they can. not for the present be consolidated Into one union station and we will expect that to coma In time. If, however, Omaha had to go back to the cowshed that served so many years as Its depot, . there would be an uprising of the people and F. Hop klnson Smith might be called In to put It back Irt the class of Jackson, Mich. sent a tires of the business e-mnvinlty could be counted. On the contrary, the great majority of the people there were men and women of lowly rank who had to thank the Bennetts for a chance to earn their livelihood at acme period of their careers and who rememb-red with appre ciative feeling the kind treatment they had had at the hands of the departed mer chant. Bo noticeable was the absence of business, associate at the funeral that It was commented on then and there. 'I never could let another's misfortune cool trie friendship I professed to him," aid one business man who could not con ceal his Indignation. "But perhaps It I better as it Is. Friends of that kind are hardly worth having. That all these poor people who used to work for him should feel his loss enough to attend the funeral means more than would Jhe presence of twice many here simply to show them selves as a favor to the family.' Two polltlcar convention of state Import ance were held within the past few days at two of the interior towns. Their acoessl bllity to attending delegates Is not to be questioned. Neither Is the praiseworthy effort of the host to make the stsy of the visitors comfortable and agreeable. It would not burt any of us to become better acquainted with the Interior towns of Nebraska and state convention, poHticsl or otherwise, offer about tba only occasion likely to produce that result. Hut there Is one side of it that Is unilly completely overlooked. That Is the facilities offered for press accommodation not accommoda tion of the press representatives, but of the dispatches he has to send to his paper. Complete and prompt reports of the pro ceeding of these conventions are essential to their success. They are not merely for the delegates present, but for the big public scattered through every town and county of the state and the still bigger public in Other states. It Is a fact not to be controverted that Omaha Is the Only city In Nebraska equipped with telegraph facilities equal to the emergency of a big political convention. Lincoln Is a close second, but ha several times been pressed to the limit. Town like Columbus and Grand Island are utterly unequal to the demand, try as they may to afford the best service within their power. At both the conventions iasi ween, the press reports were egregrlously bunched. situation which bad wire conditions con tributed to make still worse. The political convention, or. for that matter, any other big meeting In Nebraska that wants to keep Iff close touch with the public through the press, will consult its own welfare by convening In Omaha or Lincoln.

The rates cover points in Washington, Oregon, Montana and British Columbia and inter mediate points, with stopover privileges west of Pocatello. Idaho.

As more than 'one-half of the export business from Nebraska after November 1 Is corn, the failure of the crop means much to the roads which handle the business. Natur ally they have all watched the condition of the corn along their lines closely through the summsr. The general consensus of opinion seems to be that, with a late faU and the most favorable conditions, not more than half a crop will be husked, and that much of that will bo soft and unfit for anything but feeding.

It is simply heart-breaking to read year after year about the great death rate among children caused by the summers heat. Yet it is easy to protect the infants against all summer complaints, because we know that all these fearful perils have their beginning in stomach and bowel troubles, and we have a perfect family medicine that will keep the delicate machinery in a child's body clean, regular and in healthy working order in the hottest weather -CASCARETS Candy Cathartic. The plump, bouncing, crowing baby shown here is a CASCARET baby, lie feels that way winter and summer. Nursing mammas take a CASCARET at bed time, and it makes their mother's milk mildly purgative and keeps ibfi baby just rirht. Older children like to take the fragrant, sweet little candy tablet, and are safe from colic, gripes, diarrhoea, summer rash, prickly heat and all the mean troubles that summer brings with it.
