William Dutcber, president of tbe American Audubon society, estimates that birds save American farmers an nually $20(1,000,000 in the destruction of harmful insects and noxious weeds. He further computes that the savings would amount to $38,000,000 more it that old harridan of a tyrant. Fashion, did not decree tlint milliners shall or nament women's hats with the plum age of many of the most valuable of the feathered tribe. Scientists have estimated that human life on our plan- J et long since would have been extinct as a consequence of the destruction of vegetable life if birds had not come to the rescue and made perpetual and re lentless war on insect life, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. In this good year 1309 the joint worm is playing havoc with tho wheat crop of central Ohio, and that could not have been if the men and boys of Ohio had not levied constant war on the farmers' best friends, the birds of the field, tbe or chard and the forest. Every bluebird is annually worth to the farmer triple its weight in silver, and every wren is annually worth to the gardener its weight in gold. The sapsucker is in valuable to the fruit grower, and the woodpecker does yeoman service in tbe cause of a rich harvest. St. Petersburg reports that the pres ence of cholera, is militating seriously ( against summer tourist travel. This ought to I>e reassuring to all Europe. When people wisely stay away from centers of disease there will be less likelihood that the germs will be scat tered all over the continent. If St. Pe tersburg cares for the traffic she has lost temporarily she should hasten her sanitation and also increase effort to stamp out the cholera. Ti e drinking water there is contaminated, and every tourist who goes to the Russian capi tal takes a risk every time ho drinks water that has not been boiled. Now they are saying that ex-Prcsi deat Reyes of Colombia, who cabled his resignation from Europe, "salted down" $25,000,000, and his countrymen are asking where he got it and how they can oblige him to give it up. Rut these may be merely malicious mis representations. Castro, who left Venezuela for Venezuela’s good, in the opinion of u great many persons, was credited with fabulous riches. Rut ac cording to later developments his pos sessions shrank to- comparatively little measure. ——.- •• - As was expected, the cotton crop of 190k was larger than the speculators for a rise pretended, says the St. Louis Olobe-Demoerat. It amounted to 12, 587,000 bales, so the bureau of the cen sus says, or 2.212,000 more than that of 1907. Only twice—in 1904 and in 1900—was tiie yield greater than that of 1908. The crop of 1904. which broke all the records, was a little below the 14,000,000-bale mark. As, at present prices, cotton is a highly profitable crop, the presumption is that the acre age of 190!) is up at high figures. The English prime minister, in speaking on the possible invasion of England, the national bugaboo just now, gave the house of commons the gloomy information that if once Bri tannia ceased to rule the waves, some body else would boss tier. If this does not produce adequate appropriations for national defenses, other appeals are useless. Baby carriages, along with other ve hicles, must carry red lights at the rear, in accordance with the speed laws of Los Angeles. This is the first intimation given anywhere of the dan ger to the public from baby carriages, aside from their painful, though not perilous, practice of rolling over feel ings and toes on the sidewalk. A man in Brooklyn, bitten by a dog, worried himself to death, although physicians assured him he had no signs of the dreaded disease. This in stance shows how dangerous are the senseless panics and "mad-dog" scares which come about regularly every summer. The Simplified Spelling society bas held its third annual meeting.

The attendance at the Nebraska City Chautauqua this year was ahead of any former year. in Seward county apples are so plentiful that elder is being made in large quantities. The Fairbury Chautauqua this year was the most successful ever held iu the county. Mrs. Catherine Holmes, who re cently died in Omaha, was the sev enth bride in Nebraska, having been married in territorial days.

Judge John B. Barnes spent $15.88 to secure his nomination on the re publican ticokt as a candidate for su premo judge. Of this amount $25.40 was spent for blank petitions, $14 for getting them circulated und $6.48 l'or postage. Summer apples were never more plentiful around Herman than they are this year. The trees are loaded and there is no sale for them. Some orchards bearing the finest kind ot fruit have the ground covered with apples going to waste. Charged with having plcekd the pockets of C. E. Peterson of Valley at the union station on August IS, William Huffman and Ed Martin were arraigned before Judge Dame in jus tice court at Fremont. After a two hours' hearing they were bound over to the district court under bonds ot $800 each. N. A. Darton, government geologist, was in Fairbury contracting for ce ment. stone, sand, etc., for the new $70,000 government building to be erected then?.

The fairrly recently came from Iowa. E. p .Valker. living half a mile from C-.uar Bluffs, sold his farm for $150 per acre. Attorney W. D. McHugh paid to tne secretary of state $48,001, the fil ing fee for incorporating the Chi cago. Great Western railway in Ne braska. The company has a capital stock of $96,000,000. This is the sec ond largest fee paid to the secretary of suite this year, the other having been $70,000 for filing the articles ot the Missouri Pacific. The county commissioners of Douglas county have offered a reward of $100 for the capture of James Philips, accused of killing Marshall C. Hamilton near Florence on the morning of August 1. Governor Shallenberger, on behalf of the state, some time ago offered a reward of $200. making a total of $300 for the capture of the alleged murderer. Thousands of dollars have been spent during the past few months in putting the state fair grounds in shape for a great fair this year, be ginning Septemebr 6 and ending Sep tember 10. Many repairs have been made on the grounds, roads have been graded, new buildings have been built and the general tone of the place has been greatly improved. Captain Jones of the Sixth United States infantry, inspector of the state militia, concludes hi3 report on the Nebraska National guard as fol lows: “The command was found to be generally in a fair state of efficiency for field service, which will no doubt increase rapidly under the able administration of the present ad jutant general of the state, who has developed the guard greatly since taking the office on the first of the year." O. E. Mickey, superintendent of cattle at the state fair this year, says he has booked 700 exhibition cattle. This is considered phenomenal, since 500 has heretofore been considered a full exhibition of cattle. Every stall in all the cattle pens has been let and more are asking for room. The Episcopalians of Holdrego are rejoicing over the assignment to their church of Rev. Gaylord Bennett of Kearney as the resident rector. A handsome new church was erected and dedicated the first cf the year, which has been supplied by the rector at Arapahoe .

Attorney General Thompson feels much encouraged as does the state railway commission regarding the showing thev expect, to make in the cases invoicing the 2-eeut fare law, the Aldrich freight rate reduction and the Sibley express rate laws, and the longer the hearing Is put off the l>et ter shape the state will tie in to make good in its case. Kor over a year the commission has been getting weekly station reports, made out by the sta tion agents showing the freight ship ped in and out, the express sent in and out and the* ticket sales. These statistics are being compiled in the office of the state railway commission and the compilation shows a remark able Increase in the amount of revenue j paid to the corporations. Whether expenses huve also Increased in the same proportion of course the com mission has no way of knowing except by the annual reports of the corpora tions. But the income of the rail roads and express companies the cam mission has first hand and the tact, that the railroads are offering reduced rates to Omaha. Lincoln and the state fair the commission believes is another indication that the 2-cent faro rate has not injured the railroads financi ally. Testimony in the cases is to begin shortly before a referee ap pointed by the lederal court. Getting Revdy for Fair. Secretary Mellor aud a forte of clerks are busy getting the final work done preparatory to the opening of the state fair. September (>'. O. E. Mickey, superintendent of cattle, notified Sec retary Mellor that enough entries had been made to till the new barn, which has stalls for 6b> head, but that the entries justified the construction of au addition to the barn. The barn south of the new structure will hold sixty head and this will Ik- filled, as will the nursing cows’ barn, which has room for sixty. The addition sugested by Mr. Mickey will be erected as a tem porary arrangement and all cattle en tries will bo taken cars of. Secretary Mellor has closed the con tract for five state bands in addition to the Gibe rati band, which will give four concerts daily as follows: 10:30, 1:30 and 4:30 In the auditorium and 7:15 before the grandstand proceed ing Fain's fireworks. The state bands which have contracted to furnish music are the following: Geneva, Monday and Tuesday; Nelson, Tues day and Wednesday; Aurora and North Fiatte. Wednesday aud Thurs day; Stromsburg, Thursday and Fri day. Corn Acreage Higher. Nebraska corn acreage is only 2 per cent greater this year than last, ao eording to the figures compiled by the bureau of labor and industrial statis tics. The government report showed an increase in acreage of over 15 per cent but the state report disputes this. The figures compiled by Deputy Commissioner Maupin's office are gathered from assessors each spring and are presumed to be as accurate as can be procured. The government reports are not- held In high estima tion by many grain men and for this year the fact that discrepancies in the figures appear does not worry the deputy. Judge Good's Expense ilO. Judge 15. F. Good, of Wahoo, candi dadte for supreme judge on the dc-ir.o craflc ticket, tiled his campaign ex pense statement with the secretary of state. His expenses comprised the $10 filing fee and that uws all. Judge Good was the first to file his state ment. Picnic on Labor Day. Tho labor unions of Lincoln will unite unite in u picnic at Capital beach. September (>. The usual parade will not be given, but at the beach there will bo speaking and 'touting and a general good time. Cash Grain Market.

Mar tin is charged with arson, the charge following an investigation conducted by the new department. Oiled Driveway to Fair. Lincoln hits a block of oiled road, the first of her thoroughfares to be coated with asphaltic oil, and the ex periment will be extended to make a driveway to the state fair grounds. Agitation for Commission Plans. Mayor Love, who has just returned from a vacation trip spent in Iowa, har announced himself for an early agi tation in favor of a commission form of government. In Des Moines, he said, he found the plan working well and satisfactorily. He was told, he said, by the editors of the three news papers, that it was the only thing they could all agree upon—That the com mission form of government was good. These'editors spoke in favor of the system regardless of the men who com posed the administration. Chances Good for Fawcett. Returns from eighty-three of the ninety-one counties of the state, all j but three of those in being complete, j indicate beyond much doubt that Fav.- j cett is nominated for the third place J for supreme judge on the republican | ticket. Tiie figures at this writing i give Fawcett a majority of 515 ever : Hamer, and as the counties to he heard from, with one exception, are { small ones in the western part of the j state, it is not believed Hamer can ! make up the distant. ;• between him ar..l j Fav, eatt. i [.~~ ”7'.I Putting One Past the Post By JOHN IRVING DAY Garnering the Gold by a Special Process Originated Within the Confines of the High Rollers' Club ■ OCK FLOYD. Jack Cleland and Col. Powley of the High Rollers' club set out from Reno, Nev.. tor San Francisco. They became ac quainted with a George Hop kins, interested in Raw Hide mining properties. fc $ £ Don Floyd sat in the marble-finished rotunda of San Francisco's best hotel the morning after his arrival. He had finished with his newspaper and was gazing out upon the little park across the street filled with palms and beds of I)right hued flowers. Neither Col Powley nor Jack Cleland had ap peared, and he was rather glad when the young mining man he had met on the train came upon bint, and ho was roused from his self absorption by a cheery greeting. Looking up, he saw that young llopkins no longer wore corduroys and heavy hunting boots, but was blue-serged, green-hatted and patent-leathered, and altogether sporty looking enough to belong to his own set. “All alone. I see,” remarked Hopkins as he touched Floyd upon the shoulder. “It you've not been to breakfast, I’d like to have you join me.” "I'd be pleased to.” assented Floyd, who had grown hungry waiting lor his friends. "Those fellows who came with me must be taking an extra por tion of sleep this morning, i'll not wait any longer for them.” Down in the grillroom a breakfast war. served, the equal of which is not to be had in any other city in the United States, excepting, perhaps, New Orleans. By the time Floyd and Hopkins had iit their cigarettes they were conversing as old friends. "Oh, look who's arrived!" burst out Tcny the Tout, upon catching sight of Floyd and his party. "If it isn't the Big Doctor, and I haven't seen him since Hamburg was a two-year-old.” "And say,” whispered Tony, in con fidential tones, "find out tonight what business that young man who was with you this afternoon ha3 with old Toni Camp. They were off in a cor ner for a long time and if your friend ain't some wise fish he's apt to be bit.” That night after dinner Floyd, in conversation with young Hopkins, eau tiously led the talk up to Tom Camp, and then asked ihe flat-footed question as to whether Hopkins had entered or was about to enter into any de3l. “Well, I'm rather ashamed of it, be cause it does look like a crooked deal,” returned Hopkins; "but I'm a lot loser en the game, first and last, and it looks like a chance to get even, so I was go ing to take it. If you know anything about Camp, you know he has some of the best horses on the track. He says he's been in hard luck this winter and lost several thousand dollars bucking the faro bank. His proposition is for rr.e to put in $5,000 to help back a book. He will put in $5,000 of bis own money, making a good strong bank roll. The books are all making money now, and besides the even break we would get in on the regular play; Camp says he can fix a race or two so we can win some sure money. He is certain that we cau pull out $25,000 each in a week.” "That all listens well,” broke in Floyd. What s the matter with it? ques tioned Hopkins. "I don't know why I’m telling you all this, anyway. You might queer my game for all I know.” “No, I'll do nothing of the kind,” an swered Floyd. "Ilut I'll bet you five hundred now that it' 1 don't save you, Camp will trim you for whatever you put in. If it's such a sure thing, what docs he want with a partner to share the profits? Any time a man offers you something for nothing, lock up your bank roll and keep your hand on your jewelry. Do you follow me?” "Yps, it does look that way,” as sented Hopkins; "but you see he needs $10,000 to make the book safe, and he only has about *5,000 in ready money that he can lay his hands on. That's why he wants some one to come in with the other $5,000.” “That’s just what they all say, and cow I'm convinced that you are sched uled to be the goat,” announced Floyd. "Did he explain to you just how ho was going to pull off one of those al-1 loged ‘sure things?’” "Yes, there’s a race on the card to morrow in which he has a horse en tered that can win. He also controls j the only other contender in the race. He can throw the race to whichever horse he wants to. You know that's possible, don't you?” "Yes, I've seen such things done, and then again I've seen them fall most awfully hard. I can see now how easy it will be for him to break the book and get your $5,000 on one .race. Come on up to my rooms and I'll in itiate you into the art of beating the double cross, if there's any chance to do it; and if there isn't then you'd bet ter keep your $5,000 in the bank, or have a trustee appointed to look after it for you. You may be all right on a mining proposition, but there are a lot cf other things you've got to learn.” Within 15 minutes Floyd, with the : id of the telephone, had located Tony the Tout, and in another half hour that wise bug of the turf had arrived ;:t Floyd’s rooms, wondering for what 1 e was wanted, and pleased all over to he summoned into the presence of so : ugust a personage. I To Tony * loyd told the proposition j of Camp as Hopkins had told it to ; hitn. and upon hearing the proposition Tony let out a long laugh. "Why. it's just a plain game ot double cross," asserted Tony. "He'i! break the book and get your $5,000 in one race and then tell you it was alt a mistake and make you believe it, and then he'i! ask you to dig up anoth er $5,000 to get even with. Why, my kid brother wouldn't bite on that old hook." "Yes^do you suppose I didn't know all that?” broke in Floyd with a mo tion for the talkative Tony to shut up. "What I want you for is to see if we rati turn the tables and get Camp's end of the bank roll." "I'm afraid not,” answered Tony. "He's worked that game four or live time>s this season and always gets away with it. He's got a regular crew to go on and make the book and they I apart during the afternoon, having i agreed to meet in a secluded spot on ; the grounds iust before the race in which Camp had announced that a trick was to be turned. "Are you sure of that lout'?'’ was the j anxious inquiry of Hopkins when he : and Floyd finally met in consultation. "Yes. he’d lose both legs sooner than : throw me down." was the reply. "Now, j what does Camp say?" ; He says he has instructed the !>ook I to take in all the bets they can get on : Applejack. He has arranged v.ith the ; owner of that one to lose and he will j win with his own horse. Lemon I Squeezer. He explains that it might I be suspicious to th- judges if he didn't j win this race." "That means." explained Floyd. ( “that he intends that Applejack Is to ' win and his horse will be beaten out. How much money have you got in | your pocket?" j "Oh. about $500." "Well, go iu the ring and make five $100 beta on Lemon Squeezer, but [ don't bet it iu our book. Camp has given instructions to his bool makers to give a shade the best price on the other fellow's horse. He will have commissioners there to get his own money down quick and bet enough to win out the bank roil on that one race. That's the way he's got it fixed to win our *0,000." The two separated and entered the betting ring from different ends of that ludosure. Floyd noticed that, true to , sS ■ & iron . while next In order and close behind come Lemon Squeezer, both horses running easily. Before the.' had gone u quarter of the distance it could be seen that the race w;w l>.* tween the first two horses, and ti * others were strung out in single fi1 In the stretch came Applejack, no nius without effort, with Lemon Squeezer within safe call. A smile o' contentment rested upon the law <>« Tom Camp, down at the end of Hi* grandstand, while Floyd's counters ance wore a worried look and youai Hopkins was shivering iu tho exett* meat of lost hope. “There, and 1 listened to you tun* your tout," he said lo Floyd as he k;*w Applejack winning easily. “Why, It's nothing more than a pro cession,'' muttered Floyd. “And i would have staked my right eye on Tony.

"Oh, I've got the old badger!” was the sud den, gleeful outburst. “He was right about there being just two horses in the race with a chance to win. Go on and put in the $5,000 with him and I’ll attend to the rest when I see you at the track to-morrow. Just put a v.iso one in the box to see that no one runs away with the bank roll, and after that race we’ll have old Camp ready to taka the high dive from the top of the ferry boat.” "What is it you’re going to do?” was the suspicious inquiry of Hopkins. “Never mind what I'm going to do; the Ilig Doctor will stand for what I say, won't you. Doc?” “Yes. I don’t know what it is, but if you are sure you can put it through : I'll take all, or half, of Hopkins’ end of the $5,000. I’ll give Hopkins $2,500 in the morning for a half of his inter est and he needn't let Camp know there is any one else in on the deal. Jack Cleiand can be the man in the box as lookout.” When Floyd arrived at the race track on the day following his talk with Hopkins and Tony he saw a new bookmaker's stand in the line- under the shed of the betting ring. In this stand was seated Jack Cleiand, who wa.<5 supposed to be there as an as sistant to the cashier, but no glance of recognition passed between the two. Fioyd and Hopkins also keut book had put up 2 lo 1 on Applejack while ihe other books were laying a shade less than that price. A moment afterwards ho noticed that the part nership bookmaker rubbed out the price against Applejack, announcing that he had ail he wanted of it. Floyd knew by this sign that Camp had bet enough of hi3 own money to win out the money that was in the bock. Walk ing quietly through the ring, he stopped long enough before a number of books to make several good-sized wagers on Ix'inon Squeezer. He al ready had given Tony $1,000 to wager on the same horse. Thomas Camp, besides getting all the money to be had in his own book, also had wagered hundreds on Apple jack in other books about the ring, and was surprised to note when he re turned from the paddock, where he had just saddled his horse and given final instructions to the jockey, that the price against Lemon Squeezer, his own horse, had not gone up in the betting. He was unaware that a large amount of money bet by Floyd had forced the price down. He had no time to inves tigate, however, as the horses already were at the post, and he hurried to a point of vantage from which he could view the race. Across the track in the infield Tony the Tout and Hank Harlin, owner of Applejack, stood talking together. Doc Floyd, watching the pair through his fieidglasses from the grandstand, saw Tony pass a small package of book makers' tickets to Harlin. ‘•They’re off!” came the buzzing cry of the crowd in chorus as the barrier over at the three-quarter pole whizzed up and a field of eight horses leaped iorward. The blue ar.I white striped jacket and cap cf Applejack showed in -—w •* feV.t »* UUIU*.: UL Will* No use crying over spilt milk now " Tlu‘ two mon, drinking large glasses of wine at the bar, paid alight attcu tion to a sudden cheering and commo tion on the outside. “* guess we put over a good one that time, didjjJl we?" Floyd looked around npon the smiling face of Tony. “Why, you young hound, 1 ought to break your bead with this bottle,” he said in low but dangerously threaten ing tones. “What’s the matter, pal? Ain't you wise to wlist’s happened?" No, what is it?" broke in young Hopkins, anxiously. “Why, Applejack was disrjualified for not having up enough weigh*. Somehow or other Hank Harlln was careless in putting his lead pads to make the extra weight along with the saddle, and tho jockey lost ten pound-i of lead while he wan at the post. Care less of Hank, wasn't it? He's been locking for a chance to double croi Camp and fell for my little schem< when I told him how much 'money we * would bet for him on the other bor3i." "And then we’ve won in the book be sides the outside bets?" exclaimed young Hopkins, suddenly realising that Tony the Tout had made good. ^ ou should have told us how you were going to pull it ofT,” drawled Floyd. “We nearly had heart, failure, and you can't blame us for doubting you, can you?” “Well, I've showed you that I eouTd put one over, anyway," returned Tony "And now, so far as I’m concerned, they can turn all the race tracks in tlv country into golf links. I’m goi 'g into a cecent respectable saloon busines buck home." (Conyiight. 1909. by \V. G. Chapman.! Act as Sour to Man’s Pride ML _ Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents for Reformation. Love and belief in a man can never hurt him. It will always act as a spur to his pride, which is invariably close to a man's love, whilst it lias little or no: hir.g to do with a woman's.
