Car Shortage in
Grain Circles Ends;
Shipments Wanted
The grain car shortage Is a thins: o'
tha past. It ended as suddenly as It
commenced. Two weeks ago araln ship
pers were begging the railroads for cars
In which to ship grain east and south, but
now the situation has changed and the
railroad officials are begging the grain
men for shipments. Just why this change
has come about so quickly, nobody
eema to understand. Omaha grain re
ceipts and shipments have held up pretty
well. Regardless of this, there Is a mul
titude of cars for business.
Railroad men assert that the possible
olutlon of the excess number of grsJa
earrylng cars at this time Is dne to the
fact that during: the last fifteen days
treat numbers of cars held along; the At
lantis coast porta, filled with freight
for export, have been unloaded and re
leased and are now getting back Into
tha territory where they are owned.
Omaha grain reoolpta today were fairly
heavy, there being flty-one cars of
wheat, ninety-nine of eons and ulna of
oats on the market. The market was
' strong and higher, about everything of
fered being taken early In the session,
i Wheat sold at M cents to $1.0814. an ad
vance of from 1 to t cents over the prices
of Wednesday. Corn sold at . to 61
cents, an advance of cent. OaU
brought IT to 43H cents. H cent up.
Children Playing "
With Matches Cause

Thirty-eight.' firemen and twenty-all
cltlsena were Injured, ten of the latter

Careless use of matches caused KS fires.
Of tha days ef tha week. Monday was
- tha busiest day for the firemen. Gaso
line ceased thirty-five fires and fluea and
chimneys caused til alarms.
Chief Salter recommends to the mayor
and city council the purchase of 10,00
to 14,000 feet of new hose, standardised
motor apparatus and uniform five-men
hose companies throughout the: system.
During the year 81 alarms were sent
In over the telephone. The Board of
Trade building was the most serious fire

OLD WOMAN HUGS VILLA
HUNTER 0NJBUSY STREET
A neat soldier boy. equipped with
clanking spurs snd bristling with arms,
was slowly walking down Sixteenth
street, near Famsm Wednesday, killing
time until the trsln which was to carry
his company towards Mexico left.
Suddenly an old. motherly-looking
woman, who had been following bun for
aoma distance, walked up and with a
word, flung her arms about his neck.
"God bless you, son!" she fervently
i xrlaimed.
The soldier was astonished. "What's
the matter, madam?" he asked.
"Oh. I'm so glad you boys are going
to get that scoundrelly Villa. He killed
my grandson three months ago ehot
him down like a rat in a trap."
"Well, well get him or get a piece
of his household goods." laughed the
soldier, es he started a walk on.
"Here, wait." the old lady requested.
After fumbling In a handbag for a few
"minutes she brought out a little Bible.
'Take this with you, son, and may It
he the talisman that shall guard you
and keep you from danger." Her eyea
a ere brimming with teara.
The soldier walked on. and the little
crowd that had been attracted by the
old woman's strange conduct, slowly disagreed.
RENZECATALOGUE
King Ak't Mighty Artisan ETen
Brings Chief Blackbird Back to
Life for Biff Pag-eant.
ROBS MUSEUM TO TURN THICK
Long ypars has Gus Rrnne wished
to v isit the anclpnt stamping ground I
cf Chief Blackbird, the last reigning
chief of the tribe of Omaha Indians.
Recently he saw the. famous Blaclc
llrd Hill In Thurston county, where
the chief was first laid to met. .
ine neari or me mignty artisan or
King Ak-Sar-Ben galloped faster as
he stood at the grave of the old chief
tain. The clash of stone battleaxea
sailed Into his mind on the wings of
reminiscences. The rolling sputter
of the hoofs of many war poniea re
sounded in the imagination o( tha
great Gus. Yea. even the savory
(.cent of dog stew was wafted to his
nostrils from imaginary fleshpota of
yore.
Still Wot Satisfied.
Tet. after all. this thing of looking at
a grassy spot on a hill was not enough
to satisfy the studious mind of Rense.
He learned that the remains of the
chieftain had long since been removed
from this spot, and that the ekull even
now rests In a museum In New Tork.
"Fine." said Gus. "I'll see that."
Bo. recently while the mighty Rense
was In the east boring around In the
libraries and museums for material out
of which to build his great historic pa
rade for this coming fall, he slipped over
to the museum were Blackbird's skull
rests under a glass case.
"How are you. Chief," said Heme.
"Hello Gus," said the ekull.
"Ain't you lonesome back here among
the easterners?" Ous ventured.
"Sure, kid, but my day is pat. I un
derstand you're the big Indian out there
In Nebraska now."
So Dead Ones in Nebraska.
"That's me," said Qua. "And I've come
to get you for the parade. I've gat to
have you. You know, in Nebraska we
recognise no dead ones. We have no
dead ones there. Take a fresh whiff of
pep and Join the parade in the fall, will
you. old top?"
"Beln as it's you, Gus, by the living
talons of my ancestors, I'll do It"
So, then and there. Chief Blackbird,
whose pony stamped over these plains a
century or two ago, was booked to ride
in the big historical parade of Ak-Sar-Ben
in the fall.
