NOW AND THEN.
It isn't often that thu benefits
of national legislation can be
traced directly , yet the enact
ments of the last congress will
l > e of more direct benefit to the
west than has any legislation for
years. The law forbidding the
giying of rebates will build many
Factories in Nebraska that would
iisve never been established if it
were not for this law. Falls
City will have a vinegar factory ,
the establishment of which can
be directly traced to the rebate
legislation. There is a repre
sentative of a silk concern in
Falls City now looking for a lo
cation for a western branch of
business. Heretofore large con
cerns were given rebates that
permitted them to ship their raw
material and manufactured pro-
luct a great distance and still re
ceive a good profit. Now , how
ever , the rebate is to be cut off.
The silk man can ship his raw
material from New York to Falls
City as fifth class matter. If he
continues to manufacture his
product exclusively in New York
ic will pay five times the freight
to supply the Denver , Omaha and
Kansas City market that he will
pay to ship his raw material as
fifth class matter to Falls City ,
manufacture it here and supply
the western trade from the west
ern factory. All through the
west today there are representa
tives of great eastern concerns
booking for locations to build
branch factories from which to
supply their western customers
and thereby save the freight
which the cutting off of rebates
will make necessary.

The removal of the duty on
what is known as denatured al
cohol is another piece of legisla
tion that will benefit the west
and which will make some men
independently rich. Denatured
alcohol so adulterated that it
cannot be used as a beverage but
fit for fuel purposes. The duty
on denatured alcohol has been
maintained at the instance of
Standard oil in order that there
might be no competition for gaso-
ine. The removal of this tariff
will make a cheaper and better
"uel than gasoline. Within
twelve months denatured alcohol
will be more extensively used for
fuel purposes than gasoline. The
raw material that enters most
largely in the manufacture of
alcohol is potatoes. The great
alcohol manufactures of the fut
ure will be located in the potato
belt. Several Kansas towns arc
preparing to erect factories foi
the purpose of supplying the
enormous demand that will be
created by this bill There is nc
better potato country than thai
surrounding Falls City. The
man or set of men who first pre
pare to meet this demand is goin
to make a mint of money as well
as greatly benefit the town. The
man who gets rich is the mar

It is interesting to a country
bred mar. to watch city folk :
celebrate the Fourth. Some o
them , a very few , go to some in
significant little stream in whicl
no fish has been for a centurj
and fish the day through. Man :
thousands of them go to som <
park and sit in the German vill
age listening to cheap vaudevilh
and drink beer. There wen
three hundred and twenty sever
thousand street railway fare ;
paid in Kansas City on tlu
Fourth. Out at Electric park a
night there were so many peopli
shooting the chutes , listening t <
the band drinking beer and cele
brating in different ways tha
the writer waited until after oni
o'clock before he could get a ca
down town. Fairmont park ha
no beer drinking nor free vaude
ville , but is a great sweep o
green grass and towering oln
trees , Here the sedate city folks
and most of the country folk ;
spent the day. I saw hundreds
of family parties eating theii
dinners of fried chicken and cake
on the grass. At many of these
parties some one , usually tlu
preacher , made a little Fourth ol
July speech , telling of the daj
and its meaning , keeping alive
the fires of patriotism and speak
ing for a better and cleaner man
hood and womanhood. I sa\v
hundreds of country girls witli
their white dresses , blue ribbons
and , best of all , their fellows ,
listening to the words of the
preacher , or sitting with his hat
in her lap far apart from the resl
and listening to a far more
beautiful and interesting story ,
Somehow or other when I sa\\
these fresh young girls from the
country pursuing their simple
pleasures in beautiful Fairmont
park , and then at night saw hci
city sisters at Klectric in the
sawdust covered court of the
German village , drinking glas
for glass with her city fellow ,
listening to the coarse jokes fron ;
the stage , with the odor of stale
beer in her nostrils , absorbing all
the impurity of hersurroundings ,
I was very , very glad that I was
a country Jake and that my pco'
[ ) le were of the narrow , simple
kind that furnish so much amuse
ment to the finer sensibilities ol
the smart alecs of the city.
An Appetising Girl.
From Life.
She's awfully sweet.
Her cheeks are like peaches ,
She has cherry lips.
Her breath is nectar.
Her hair is like yellow corn ,
Her eyes are like black
berries.
She is perfectly delicious in
Frence dressing.
Her complexion is a delecate
cream.
I love to toast her.
She's a honey.
I sometimes feel as though 1
would like to press her to ; i
ielly.
Hut if I did , would she be
cordial ?

International Agriculture.
In the rush of the close of tin
session of congress so mncl
was done that general notic (
was not taken of the action of
the senate with regard to the
international agricultural insti
tute. It will be remembered
that a year ago last Febnuirj
King Victor Emnnnel of Italy ,
being persuaded to step b }
David Lnbin , a California farm
er , called a conference of dele *
gates from all civilized nations
to draw up a plan for an inter ,
national institute of agriculture ,
The idea \vas to form whal
should correspond roughly witli
a national department of agri
culture , the department to be
made up of representatives ol
all nations and to be worldwide
in its scope. The protection ol
the world's agriculture by the
acquirement and disseminatior
of worldwide information ol
crop and labor conditions is tc
constitute the main purpose ol
the organisation. Forty-one
nations participated in the con.
Terence , and most of these have
since approved tlm protocol
there drawn up providing foi
the formation of a permanrnl
bureau. Some apprehension
was felt throughout the closinsj
days of congress lest the senate
should overlook the matter , for
that would have left the United
States outside of the movemenl
whereas its every interest de.
mantled that the greatest of all
agricultural nations should be
in the van The senate did not
fall ; the international agricul
tural institute with the United
States a member will be readj
for business by the spring ol
next year ; and , as the note
issued by the Italian govern ,
incut puts it. "by tightening tlu
bonds of interdependence whicl ]
unite the different nations ; i
new economic basis will be giv
en to the ideal aspirations to.

By the way , who are to be th
local candidates for office thi
fall ?
One of the funniest things w
ever saw was a huge colored lad
walking down the streets of
city wearing white shoes and ver.
open work white hose.
There was a wise man in on
town , and he was wondroui
wise ; he marked a paper dollar
and gaye it all to Li see ; sin
went to see the butcher ; ant
she blew the dollar in ; it wasn'
long before the coin came bacl
again to him. He took it to
merchant , and bought a pair o
shoes for Jane -before the wee !
was over , it came back to hin
again ; he spent the coin in ou
town fully fifty times or more
but he always got it back agaii
and spent it o'er and o'er ; bu
when he sent the dollar off to ;
mail order-store , it was gen
for good forever , and he neve
saw it anymore. Exchange.
Drown In Lake.
A number of lives were lost
as the result of the collapse oE
a boat landing platform at
10J10 : on the night of July 4th
near Omaha.
The accident was due to a
rush of people upon the dock in.
an effort to get a boat to the
lake where the car line terminus
is. The boat dock , which ex
tended into the water , from
three to seven feet deep , sud
denly gave way and a hundred
or more men , women and chil
dren went into the lake. Great
excitement prevailed for a time
jut it was thought that all had
jecn rescued , though some were
iinrl , and later Lena Rosenblum
a young woman from Omaha ,
died from her injuries ;
It was not until the work of
repairing the dock was begun
the next morning that it was
cnown that any were drowned.
The bodies found were under
the timbers of the dock. A
number of persons are still re
ported missing and it is feared
that their bodies will be found
in the water.
Manawa lake is a pleasure re
sort on the Iowa side of the
Missouri river about seven
miles from Omaha , with which
it is connected by an electric
car line.
The accident occurred at a
lutei hour that evening , when
the people were crowding the
platform in an effort to secure
a boat from the bathing beach
to the Manawa side of the lake.
Bill Hall , the diver at the
lake , is still pursuiting , with
assistance of others , the work
of searching for the dead. It is
believed , however , all those
drowned have been recovered.
No arrest has been made. The
question of jurisdiction has
en raised. Some claim Sarpy
county , Nebraska , has author
ity in the matter , and others
Pottawiittemic county , Iowa.
The liquor selling license is
taken out from the latter coun
ty , and the coroner of the latter
county has taken charge of the
bodies. What will be done to
ward fixing the responsibility
is not certain as yet. .
The body of Scott Huff was
the last to be recovered. It
was taken out afternoon Thurs
day. He boarded at 1701 Capitol
tel avenue and was a clerk at
Bennett's.
The greatest excitement pre
vailed the moment the platform
went down. Unfortunate ones
in the water sought frantically
to get back to safety or to hang
onto some piece of timber , and
persons on terra firtna who had
friends whom they last saw
standing where the accident-
occurred tried to get to the
water's edge and render aid.
Doxens of men threw them
selves heroically into the hike
to rescue women and take them
safely to shore , and the men
who went down with the rest
were seen to work to save the
helpless and terror stricken wo
men first. Many persons were
injured in the crush whose
names will not be known , as
they lied Irom the spot as soon
as possible. Within another
hour the cars returning from
Manawa brought watersoaked
men and women , shivering in
the cold night air , many of them
minus portions of their cloth
ing" .
