AIR MAIL TEST IS ATTRACTING MANY Beacon Lights at Fort Crook Field Plainly Visible Here First Flight Tuesday Night. DOG P0IS0NEES ACTIVE Prom Saturday's Dally. The residents- of this city and the east section of Cass county are very much interested in the air mail tests nlacp to enlov a re?t today, as there that are to occur on next Tuesday was almost nothing or consequence transpiring there in marked differ ence to the usual busy bustle and stir and only the routine work was trans piring to keep the officials and clerks busy. The county clerk's office is busy with the preparation of the tax list for the year and the county treas urer's office is always kept very busy with the daily volume of business, but in the legal departments there appears to be a lull of all litigation. Whether this is c.ue to the fact that the people are getting better or the lawyers are on a vacation, it is hard to tell. In the county attorney's of fice, the county judge's office and the district court clerk's office there was nothing doing in the way of legal matters.

"The air mail service at present is in its Infancy, but great accomplishments are due very soon." Mr. Henderson, accompanied by C. F. Egge, superintendent of air mail service, Washington, will come to Omaha, where the first experiment Pnib Saturday Lally. The activities of the dog poisoners are not confined to the south part of the city, as evidenced by the fact that on Thursday some one adminis tered poison to the very valuable Air dale dog belonging to Mrs. John Gelser, who resides on North Fourth street. The -dog was not only valued In money, but was a great family pet and a very gentle animal and bad never offered the least indication of harming anyone and what motive I could have prompted Its killing 13 a mysiery io tne owners unless it was an underhanded effort to get even with the owners of the .animal. A few weeks ago Mrs. Geiser was offered $50 for the dog which was refused on account of the warm attachment felt by the family for the animal and the death of the pet has caused a great grief among the family. The habit or poisoning helpless animals is certainly a very underhanded one and should the party committing the offense be found they will find it de cindedly warm for them.

Plasterers' wages of 5100 and more a week are causing student ministers and mem bers of other professions to take up the trowel in Evanston, where work on a new hotel is in progress.

' - From Saturday's Dally. Eevery now' and then we like to talk to our merchants about adver tising and we like to do it in this way because the subject Is of equal interest to the public, says the Shel don (Iowa) Sun, continuing: "Franklj', the interest of the pub lic,' the interest of the merchant and that of the local newspaper publish er are inseparably linked. "The public always is best served by buying advertised goods. Goods that are advertised are goods that are more extensively manutactureu and consequently cheaper because of increased production. Moreover ad vertising today is a guarantee of merit. No one need be afraid either of the honesty of the price or the quality of advertised goods. Competi tion compels honesty even if there be a wish to avaia it. "There is another benefit, too. in local newspaper advertising. When advertising is thoughtfully employed it means the building of trade for our local merchants and this reacts in an increase in real estate values generally. A prosperous business sec tion means added population and in creased conveniences. The whole scheme of advertising, merchandis ing and buying i3 one of co-operation to mutual advantage. "The merchant always wins favor able reaction when he talks frankly in his advertising to the people and shows them he is dealing honestly with them and making a normal profit. "The man who week by week con sistently in his advertising shows he holds the public interest at heart is the man who wins. Many merchants lose the substance of public confi dence in grasping for the shadow of immediate sales." TELLS OF SLAVERY DAYS Miss Mable II. Kenea, of Clarinda, relates an interesting incident con cerning a former slave, Henry Webb, who came north at the close of the war with the late Capt. G. W. Burns. The-negro was selected by Gen John T. Morgan of the Confederate army to serve as cook for himself and staff. Six months later the Union forces captured Gen. Morgan's division and the general was killed. Webb made his way to the union lines and served Gen. McCook and staff as cook for nearly four years, but he was never mustered into the service and there fore has no claims for either remun eration or pension, although Gen. Mc Cook promised , the colored boy that he would see that he was paid. At the close of the war Captain Burns asked the colored cook if he would not like to accompany him north and the proffer was accepted. Through the passing years Webb has been cooking in hotels and restaur ants, never lacking a Job. When the Spanish-American war broke out he enlisted and was as signed as cook for Company K, of Corning, commanded by Capt. Emer son C. Pearis, and he was 18 months in the service, a large part of the time in the Philippine Islands. The old man is spending his last davs among friends in Clarinda. He talks intelligently of slavery days in Tennessee and the life of this old negro spans the years that have wrought wonders in the civic and commercial life of the nation and of the world.
