Manager C.J. Sutphen of the
Brandeis theater returned from New
York just in time to Teceive a tele
gram from Klaw & fcrianger, teuing
iim that the Henry Miller Pacific
coast tour had been given up. Rail
road rates are too steep to encour
age such, a trip as Mr. Miller had
planned. Therefore, the Omaha en
gagement, announced for July 30-31is
definitely abandoned.
Mr. Sutphen says the opening at
traction for the coming season at the
Brandeis will be "Polly With a Past,"
the David Belasco success, now on

JACKS AND JIMS
TRY TO DECIDE
ON RELEGATES
Leaders to Meet to Arrange on
Division of Representa
tives From Doug
las County.
. Peace pourparlers have been agreed
upon by representatives of the
"Jacks" and the "Jims" of local, de
mocracy, J. C. Dahlman, Arthur Mul
len, Mayor Smith and F. L. Weaver
being the leaders of this entente cor-
diale. . . '
The agreement, if carried out, would
be fifty-fifty for these factions at the

Held Under Heavy
Bonds For Assault
Made' On Little Girl
F. A. I cary, 207 North Fourteenth
street, was bound over to the district
court by Judge ' Britt in the police
court Thursday morning, on a statu
tory charge. He is held under $5,000
bonds.
Neary was arrested on fcomplaiht
of people living in the vicinity of
Riverview park, who identified him
in connection with' the mistreatment
of Lillian, the 7-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Hans Hansen, 2112

Former Railway Head
' Killed in Fall From Wagon
Word has been received at Union
Pacific headquarters that J. C. Fergu
son, former company general agent
in Denver, who reeentlv retired, was
ings on July 30. This county is enti- vilcd by falling from his wagon while
tied to 165 delegates. The democratic
county central committee win meet
Saturday afternoon in the Paxton
hotel. A county convention will be
called for next week.
"The Jacksonian club will never
die. We must keep alive the princi
ples and faith of Jacksonianism," de
Clares Mr. Weaver, who is regarded
as the dean of the "Jacks."
"Give the Jacks half of the dele
gates to the state convention? Well,
no( so thatanybody could notice it,"
exclaimed one of the Jims. "The
Jacks are entitled to just 13 delegates
to the state convention, and that is all
they will get if I have anything to say
about it."
Chairman Dahlman of the county
committee is inclined to hold out the
olive branch to the Jacks, whom he
fought bitterly on former occasions,
notably at the time of the last state
convention.
T. J. O'Connor, formerly city clerk
under the Dahlman regime, will file
for the democratic nomination for
county clerk. Mr. Dahlman is still
considering filing for sheriff and Pat
Tobin, formerly of the office of reg
ister of deeds, is being considered
for register of deeds.
James Murphy of the South Side,
boilermaker; A. A. Lamoreaux and
L. J. Quinby probably will try for
democratic nominations for the state
senate.
A meeting Friday night in the office
of F. L. Weaver will "select some
good democrats whose names will be
at work on his farm near Fort Mor
gan,, Col.
filed on Saturday for the state legis
lature. '
C. W. Peasinger, an attorney, will
file for one of the municipal judgeship
nominations.
The county board informs prospec
tive candidates that two road over
seers will be elected this fall in Jef
ferson. Elkhorn, Union. Valley, Mc
Ardle and Millard precincts, instead
of one,.each, as formerly.

By that we meant that no one feature was better
than any other and none lew efficient oreffecti?e.
Uniformity is the outstanding quality of Maxwell .
design and construction.
Apropos that, we are frequently asked what par
ticular detail of the motor is responsible for the
tremendous mileage per gallon of gasoline obtained
by Maxwell owners.
If you ask an owner he wiH almost to variably ghrs
the carburetor most of the credit.
Now, obviously the carburetor must be a good one.
If it were not, it would prevent, even If itMid'riot
accomplish the result.
But a good carburetor docs not make a good motor
carnor an efficient mixing vahe alone an efficittnt
motor
The factors that made that famous ''Noo-Stopf
. record possible, and the test in which 3,000 ov.'ner
driven Marwell Motor Cars averaged 29.4 miles per
gallon of gasoline were many.
Every detail of motor design had to hfcifr"
every proportion just right in rtlstta to every
other one. s . ,f
Piston displacement, valve dimenaiona and irake
lift, compression, balance everything in pcecwe
ratio and correct relation to every other detafl.
Twould require a volume to tell how MaxweP
engineers achieved that splendid result Just as k
required long years of practical manufacturing
experience to know how.
Of course the carburetor helps but equatfy so does
the electrical system.
By the way, if this were the kind of motor car in
which any one feature stood out above others, we
would emphasize that electrical system.
But it isn't. Maxwell results are uniform. Those
results are the product of a combination of many
features not of one or two only.
Similarly, if one owner achieved a sensational mile
age or a high degree of reliability, that would
prove nothing. ,
, That happens with a3 makes of cars the poorest
included. : ' '
But for 3,000 owners to average 29.4 miles per
gallon of gasoline; . VJ V
For the same model to run 22,022 miles 44 con
" secutive days and nights without stopping THAT
CAR MUST BE A MAXWELL.
