To Assist
Young Men
Movement Launched at Spokane
Which Will be Wide
in Charter.
Spokane, Wash., May 10. -Leaders
of the movement, which is world wid
in scope and purpose, say that Spokane
has the distinction of being the firs
city to unify the Baraca classes into a
federation to assist young men in need
of friends, employment and advice. The
j)lan, aa outlined by Samuel A. Mann,
judge of the municipal court, is to aid
those committed to jail for the first
offense by providing them with work
and hoarding places of good influence
and looking after their welfare. The
relief committee works with the judges
of the local courts, and is thus brought
directly into contact with those who
would be released from custody if the
proper safe guards were placed about
them. The committee's employment
secretary visits the men regularly with
the view of improving their condition.

can get them on tho right terms.
The suggestion the state s ujerintend
tnt makes is that if these boys all war.t
to go to work for him, they can plant
at least one good ear of corn each and
cultivate their crop this summer. When ,
the crop is harvested arrangements will
be made to take the very best tars to
the National Corn Exposition at Omaha
in December and the state corn show
at Lincoln in January.
Not every boy who works for the
state superintendent will get big pay
for the work this year, but those who
produce the best corn will win prizes
which will give them good wages for
the summer's work and the pay of the
rest will come in the satisfaction of
having grown better corn than is pro
duced on the average in Nebraska or
any other state. As the prizes are
many, it will be a large number who
will win something, and all w ho con
test will get their r.ame3 on the roll of

The fact has been brought to the at-;

608 Lo-

"I contracted kidney trouble while
serving in the army. There was a dull,

Miss Faith Woodford of Sioux City,

Rev. M. R. Huston, pastor of First

asking for appointment of town mar

stop several other evasions of the law
He promises to obtau convictions of
the violators if clothed with police au
thority. The application will be con
sidered at the June meeting of the
councilmen and it is expected that there
will be a battle, since it is reported
that a few of the town fathers do not
look with favor upon the pastor's peti
tion. The saloonists declare in terms
more emphatic than polite that the
minister is eligible for membership in
the Buttinski and the Ananias clubs
and they are willing to prove it by pre
senting their case to live or seven dis
Perhaps the most radical changes in
the way of improvement ever made in
the train service at any one time are
those which will take place on the Burl
ington Route May 23. when that com
par.y will put on four new trains and
will improve the service and q'licken
the time of several existing trains.
Perhaps the most important of the
new trains are the two which will run
through solid from Chicago to Seattle,
via St. Paul. They will both be com
pletely electric lighted, and the Orien
tal Limited will run over the Great
Northern west to St. Paul, leaving Chi
cago in the evening, ai d making the
trip in 72 hour; it will carry observa
tion library -club car, standard and tour
ist sleepers, coaches, dining cars, etc
The other train via St. Paul will run
over the Northern Pacific Express, and
will carrv similar equipment.
It is worthy of note that this is the
first time that trains have been run reg
ularly over .any railroad ail the way
through solid from Chicago to the Puget
Sound region.
In addition, a third train to Seattle
will he installed, which will staitat St.
Louis, Kansas City. Omaha ard Denver
and run through solid to Seattle over
the Burlington Route to Billings.Mo. t.,
thence over the newly completed line
of the Great Northern through Great
Falls and Spokane one of the most in
teresting and picturesque routes
through the Northwest.
In addition to these three r.ew trains
to Seattle, the present through train
running from St. Louis, Kansas City
Omaha and Denver via Billings and the
Northern Pacific, will be made a solid
electric-lighted train.
With these changes, the teiple of all
the important cities of the middle west
will have through trainsjto Puget Sound
twice a day, a very important public
convenience in view of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition to be held this
year in the city of Seattle.
Another new train is the Colorado
Limited, which will be installed between
Chicago and Denver, leaving Chicago
at 9:45 in the morning and 'arriving at
Denver at 4:15 the following afternoon.
This is also a completely electric-lighted
limited train with the usual modern
equipment-observation car, standard
sleeper, dinr.r, etc.
The time of ,the Burlington's crack
train, the Famous Denver Limited No.
1, will bo changed so that after May
23 it will leave Chicago at 4:30 p. m.
arrive at Denver 9 p. m. the following
night. This train has the unusual
record of having arrived on time in
Denver during the calendar year 1908
355 times-only late ten times during
the year.
Another important feature is the
fact that the St. Louis-Colorado Limi
ted leaving St. Louis at 2:15 p. m. will
beja solid electric-lighted train with
observation car, etc., and will arrive at
Denver at 4:15 p. m. instead of C:20, as
heretofore.
The western roads are this year look
ing for a heavy travel to the Pacific
Coast on account of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition to be held at Seattle;
a greatly increased regular travel is
also looked for to the Yellowstone Park
and Colorado, and with all these im
provements in trail service on the
Burlington that road should come in
for a large share of the new business.
dent Roosevelt just before he relin
quished office on March 4, it is given
authority to forbid common carriers
from acting as agents of the venders of
liquors in states where prohibition has
been adopted. An examination of the
statutes has convinced temperance ad
vocates that a long step has been taken
by the federal government in facilitat
ing the efforts of states to rid them
selves of the liquor evil.
The first section punished by a fir.e of
not more than $.",000 or imprisonment
or not more than two years, or both,
any officer. Hgent, or employee of any
railroad company, express company, or
other common carrier, who shall deiiver
any intoxicating liquor to ar.y person
except upon written order from such
person, as a result of shipment from
one state to another.
The second section impose" a fine cf
S.j.OfiO upon any common carrier who,
in connection with the transportation of
intoxicating liquors, shall collect the
purchase price of such liq'ion or in any
manner act as agent of the buyer or
seller of such l'quors.
A similiar fine is imposed upon any
person shipping from one state to an
other a package of intoxicating liquor
which fails to show the name of the
consignee, the nature of its contents,
and the quantity contained therein.
The real purpose, of course, is to aid
the state movement to prevent the use
of strong drink as a beverage. Liquor
wou'd not be used and there would be
no commerce in them if they were not
consumed.
The r.ew legislation places within the
power of each state to determine for it
self whether there shall or shall not be
within its border any traffic in intoxi
cating liquors. Each' state ar.d each
community by adopting local option
now can prohibit the .traffic or permit
it under partial restriction and regula
