After the oppressive humidity of Thurs
day a storm blew up and black clouds
aross In tho west. They proceeded toward
the north for a while and It seemed Omaha
would be left with. Its dust and heat. About
7 o'clock the clouds spread over the sky,
the wind rose to a gale and then the rain
leu. The northern part of the city got a
heavy drenching. The gutters . ran with
water and the thick dust was turned to
thin mud. South of Leavenworth street
there wasn't enough precipitation to men
tion. .
However, the storm cooled the air. The
temperature at noon Friday was 64, com
pared with 84 at noon Thursday. A similar
lowness of temperature was evident all
through the day and the indications are
that It will continue.

Hi) iluo
Li ml
I.. J. F. laeger. "Billy the Bear." has ar
rived In Omaha on nls return from the na
tional convention of the Egles at James
town. "That exposition Is the biggest fraud of
the century." said Billy.' "I can see no
possibility of Its becoming a success. Many
of. the buildings are still unfinished and no
effort Is being made to finish them.
"Yes, I got knocked out ns national sec
retary of the Kngles. Some of the Nebraska
del-gatlon knocked on me, claiming that
1 was physically unable to do the work.
That hurt me more than the defeat for the
office. It comes mighty hard to bar a crip
pled .man from work that he could do and
I guess almost every person In Nebraska
knows that I have done pretty well with
my flngerless hands and being shy a pair
of feet toward making a pretty good living.
"I am going back to Chadron and get
back Into mv old work and will try for
the place again next year. It Is pretty
hard for a westerner to get an office In
these big national conventions that are
dominated by the eastern fellows. I am
not sore on account of my defeat, but I do
feel a little hurt that my condition should
be used against me by men who I thought
were my friends."
"I am getting a fine piano, rent free,"
said one citizen.
"Te'l me about It," said the other.
"Well, you know the assessor Is abroad
In the land and the stores have to pay
pretty heavy taxes on pianos when they
are caught with the goods. One of these
stores has been after me for months to buy
a piano and I have refused; I didn't even
want to try one, for I knew I wouldn't buy
It. Yesterday they telephoned my wife
they were going to bring It; and they
brought it. Didn't say anything about sell
ing It to us and didn't even mention a price.
Now, I figure they thought the assessor
was about due and It would be a good time
to move a few pianos. The cost of moving
a plar.o would be as much as the taxes, but
you seo the store would be out the money
anyway, if the assessor found the piano,
and ' they thought they had Just as well
spend It by giving somebody a trial and
perhaps catch a customer."
"Raised bank notes do not get Into cir
culation very much these days, as the peo
ple are getting too sharp for the note rais
ers," said a secret service official. "I had
a funny experience over In Des Moines the
other day. Having heard that some raised
notes were In circulation there I went over
to see about them. I found that the notes
had been sold to a pawnbroker to place on
exhibition In his window. I found the fel
low and had no other recourse than to take
the raised notes. And then he did raise a
howl. He wanted to know how he was
going to get his money back that he paid
for them. I told him he would have to look
to the parties from whom he bought them.
But when I told hm I was a secret service
officer he gave the notes up readily, but he
looked as If It was going to break his
heart"
A wild-oyed man with upstanding hair
rushed Into the office of Chief of Police
Donahue Friday morning and shouted for
immediate aid.
"What's wrong?" asked the chief.
"Look here," said the man. "I'm George
Morris of Waterloo, and I want you to ar
rest the man who runs the elevator out
here right away. Tou won't need no war
rant. Why, Its outrageous! I stepped into
his elevator In perfect good faith Just a
minute ago and what do you think he did?"
He stopped, out of breath and speechless
with Indignation.
"Well." said the chief.
"Why, he took me up five stories so fast
that I couldn't get my breath and we
nearly bumped Into the roof before he
could stop his dod gasted machine."
"Were you hurtT" asked the chief.
"No, I wasn't but holy smoke, I might
have been."
Mr. Morris confessed that he had never
been In an elevator before in his life and
the sudden shock was too much for his
nerves. He declared his Intention of going
to Police Magistrate Crawford and filing a
complaint against George Whltmore, one of
the elevator conductors In the city hall, for
fast and reckless driving.
"And I won't go down In the elevator;
either," he said as he departed. "I'll go
down the outside ladder before I take that
risk again."
"These Omaha boys who used to be easy
for me can now beat me with one hand
tied behind them," said John Francis of
Chicago, -general passenger agent of the
Burlington, who has been In Omaha for
the last few days, spending his vacation
playing golf with some of his old friends.
The reason Is apparent. They get a
chance to practice where I do not. This
thing of living In Chicago is not what It ts
cracked up to be. Give me Omaha for
mine. The distances are such In Chicago
that It Is out of the question for a man to
get off to play golf any day but Saturday
afternoon. Here in Omaha a man could
work at his desk until 6 o'clock and then
have plenty of time to play nine or fifteen
holes before the sun disappeared. Omaha
Is the place to live after all."
"I have mado up my mind that the resi
dents of Ersklne street have earned the
right to have this street perpetuate the
memory of President Roosevelt from their
practical endorsement of his anti-race sul
culde Ideas," said City Clerk Butler. "I
have watched the mstter for months and
no other si see t In town reports as many
births In a month as Ersklne street. You
may pick up the paper each afternoon
and you can count on finding that some
family on this street has added to the
population of Omaha. You may miss It
some day, but on the next one there will
be two births recorded. Ersklne must be
msde Roosevelt street and I'm going to
see that it is done If there are enough
members of the council who realise the
importance of the subject dear to the heart
of the chief executive.

"Steamboats were plenty on the Missouri
once and they will be again." said Senator
E. J. Burkett, who Is In Omaha for a two
days' Inspection of the military posts, Forts
Crook and Omaha.
"We haven't paid much ottentlon in the
United States to river Improvement, for we
are a new country and have first to de
velop our harbors. But now we have come
to the point where transportation In the
Interior Is a big problem and we must
grasp the opportunities afforded by our
waterways. Water transportation la cheaper
than rail transportation and the competi
tion resulting between rail and water is
wholesome for the shipping Interests of
tho country.
"Once Omaha saw steamboats plying up
and down the Missouri continuously. The
river has not less water In It than it had
then, but other lniluences drove me Doaia
out of business. The river may not be so
good as It was then, for channels fill up
with snags and sandbars When not In use,
while a constant movement of boats actu
ally keeps a river open. The Missouri now
needs considerable work on It to clean It
out.
"I believe navigation will be resumed or
the river. As to when and how I am n.i
prepared to say. It hus been suggested to
me that It would be cheaper to build a
canal along the river than It would to kee-p
the channel dredged out. It would re
quire engineers to pass on that.
Time Not Far Away.
"At any rate, It will bo opened somehow
and the time probably Is not far away.
The north and south traffic of the country
Is growing smailngly and we need the
river."
Senator Burkett arrived In Omaha at
o'clock Friday morning and wa.i met at
the station by Victor Rosewater and Chair
man C. E. Black of the entertainment com
mittee of the Commercial club. In com
pany with Mr. Black he visited the Indian
supply depot and the headquarters of the
Department of the Missouri and then went
with Major Cruse and Captain Hacker to
the quartermaster's depot. This afternoon
he is visiting Fort Omaha with Senator
Millard and Major Noyes and tomorrow he
will inspect Fort Crook.
Senator Burkett was the guest of honor
at a luncheon at the Commercial club, at
which about thirty representative Omaha
citizens were present.
Those at the banquet were:
