TRAMP STABSJENEFACTOR
Sherman Repaid for Kindness by
Attempt at Robbery.

Klad Hearted Laborer Pats Up
Fight When Dagger Is Shown
Htm and Receives Two
Deep Gashes.
After having befriended a homeless
wanderer and given him the price of a
bed, C. W. Sherman, a laborer, aged 48.
living in Albright, was repaid for his
kindness by being robbed and perhaps
fatally stabbed early this morning.
At 1 o'clock the police were called to
Ninth and Davenport streets by the
Union Paciflo night watchman, who re
ported that he had heard a shot and a
man's scream for help. Patrolmen Good
rich and Psznowskl msjde a thorough in
vestigation, but failed to find anything.
Twenty minutes later the police were
called to the U. 8. restaurant at Fifteenth
and Dodge streets, where Sherman, cut
about the face and body in nearly a dozen
places, tad crawled. At the station he
told his story and promptly fainted.
Police Burgeon Ellwood gave him medi
cal attention and he was taken to
St Joseph's hospital where it was said
his condition was serious.
Sherman told Detective Hell that he
had met his assailant a few hours be
fore and had given him the price of a
bed. The man suggested getting a drink
and Sherman acquiesed. He was led to
Ninth and Davenport streets and In the
shadow of a switchman's shanty the
new acquaintance pulled out a long knife,
and pressing it against the heart of his
benefactor, demanded his money.
Sherman put up a fight and received
half a dozen ugly slashes across the face
and two deep gashes In his abdomen
where the knife entered. ' His assailant
failed to get any money and made his
escape In the darkness when Sherman be
gan to shout for help.

A ray Of hope for the increase In the
production of the beef of the country
Is held otjit by Leonard Ellis of Edgemont,
S. D., a,' stockman who arrived at the
Merchants hotel. . .
In a few years there will" be a great
deal more range and more cattle In the
vicinity of Edgemont than there are at
the present time," he said. "There Is
little stock In that section of the country
at present, and that is because the range
has been cut up within the last half
dozen years by the homesteaders who
have tried dry farming. Now it has been
proved that dry farming Is no success in
that part of the country and within the
next few years the homesteaders after
proving up are going to move out and
leave the land to grow back Into range.
The ranchmen will stock up again as
fast as this takes place, and we will
raise more live stock than has been
raised there for years." The same thing
he said was taking place in a great many
parts of the former range country that
had been cut up Into farms for dry
farming where dry farming had proved
a failure. A notable example of this,
he jjald, was In northeastern Colorado
whe.e many farms had grown back into
wild grass and were being grazed over
by cattle.

What Omaha Faces
in Coal Situation
' Omaha people who have in past sum
mers supplied their homes with coal for
the , winter by purchasing these black
nuggets. during the months of July and
August have learned that the supply of
anthracite is very low this year and they
cannot get the low prices that have pre
vailed in summers heretofore. Omaha
dealers have not been supplied with the
carloads, though the orders for coal are
even greater that they were last summer.
The mine operators are not shipping cars
In great numbers to the west just now,
so, it is said, the consumer wilK be
forced to pay a higher price for this east
ern coal than he has done when he has
bought during other summers.
Some of the Omaha dealers are offering
consolation to the man who wants to
fill his bin for the winter who wants
to fill it now by offering him southern
coals and setnl-anthraclte grades. The
semi-anthracite coal should be wet be
fore being placed In bins, according to
the directions given by the dealers who
sell this variety. This coal is said to
have many advantages which make It
an ideal for home consumption. The
dealers who sell it are willing to go Into
the details of Its efficiency with anyone
who Is bothered by the coal problem
right now.

New
Tests Show Omaha
Milk is High Grade
Tests of milk sold by Omaha dairies
shows that never before was the milk
freer from germs 'than during the month
of July. A stringent city ordinance
makes a dairyman liable to prosecution
for selling milk that contains more thanl
150,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter, but
the city bacteriologist has found no mlik
this month containing more than 100,000.
"According to the bacteriologist," said
Dairy Inspector Bossle, "milk this month
Is showing the presence of from 8,000 to
100,000 bactertia per cubic centimeter.
When you consider that In several east
ern cities from 00,000 to 750,000 per cubic
centimeter Is allowed by ordinance you'll
see that nowhere Is there any better milk
than is sold here." - ,
Inspector Bossle has ordered all dairy
men to keep Ice packed about the milk
cans during delivery. He examined sev.
eral wagons and found the order being
satisfactorily - complied with, some cans
of milk testing as low as 36 degrees.
Bossle will prepare an ordinance regulat
ing the degree of temperature at which
milk must be always kept and directing
that it must be cooled immediately at the
dairies.

"Yes, it's so," w'as ths reply. "Ths
discharged employes circulated the peti
tions all right, but they were put up
to it by some of the paving contractors
and public works builders who are afraid
they will not have a free and easy hand
with Councilman McOovern on watch
over them. They admit now that they
cannot pull the recall through, and ex

sleeve, which Is to have McOovern pulled
off his department and reassigned by
his colleagues to some place where he
will be harmless to them. Just put that
in your notebook and watch developments."

Dr. Connell Says Ultimately All

ORDERS WELL WATER BOILED
. . i .
Hear Typhoid Fever Cases Are
Traced Directly to (he t ke of
Well Water Which is
Pull of Germs.
Every well In the city will be ulti
mately condemned and closed, for tests
made by the city health department have
shown the presence of colon bacilli In
all water from them that has been ex
amined. Cases of typhoid fever have been
traced directly to the use of well water
and Health Commissioner Connell Is or
dering the water boiled before it Is
used.
City Bacteriologist Langfeld has re
ported the presence of typhoid germs In
two more wells, on on North Twenty
fourth street and the other In the south
section of the city. Investigation of the
well water followed the report of two
cases of tpphold.
All cases of typhoid fever reported to
the department are being Immediately
investigated. These Investigations bave
without exception disclosed the fact that
use of water from wells was tho causo.
Dr. Connell has condemned several
wells, but as quite a portion of the city
depends exclusively upon the use of well
water, the health commissioner has per
mitted the residents to continue the use
of the water after it has been thoroughly
boiled.
"I have been charged by the residents
whose wells we have condemned, with
working for the water board to secure
extension of service for the city plant,"
said Dr. Connell, "but the question Is
primarily a sanitary one and this water
must not be used after city water Is
available."

largely upon the veracity and competency

GRAY HAIR MADE DARK
If Yon Want to Darken It, This Sim
ple Formula Will Do It '
Nicely.
There are few people irt this worjd
who are satisfied with gray hair when
It appears in their own dark locks.
Most of us want to get rid of it, and
this simple recipe, which can be readily,
made up at home, is about the surest,
n.ost satisfying means that could pos
sibly be employed to change the gray
locks to a soft, nice, glossy brown. To
7 oks. of water add one small box ot
Barbe Compound, one os. of bay ruin
and one-fourth oa of glycerine. A Ay
drug store can supply the ingredient
at. little cost and you can do your own
mixing . Apply it to the gray hair or
beard ree a week - until -the desired
dark nhade is obtained, then once every
two weeks will be sufficient. It -is
equally as meritorious for removing
dandruff and other ills of the scalp and
for promoting the growth of the hair.
Tou will be highly pleased when you
see how admirably this simple mixture
will eradicate the traces of age In your
hair and how free It Is from the objec
tionable features of the ordinary dyes,
