In .1 timely article In the North American
Review , "What the Country Is Doing for the
Partner , " Mr. W. S. Ilarvvood points out
what has been accomplished by tbo great
number of experiment stations and agricul
tural colleges receiving nitlonal and state
appropriations. "Vast as hns been the
progtess , " says the writer , "of the United
States In manufactures , In Invention and the
like , thereIs , perhaps , no branch of our na
tional llfo which has shown more Immense
advancement In the past thirty years than
that of agriculture. " He goes on to say that
slnco the passage of the Morrlll bill , estab
lishing land grant colleges , Institutions hav
ing agricultural courses have been located
In every state and territory except Alaska
Incidentally thereto a very largo number
of experimental stations have also been es
tablished under government auspices , by
which the farmer has been taught how "to
conserve the pioduets of his soil and cn-
hancu the value of his labor. "
Mr. Ilarvvood states that there nro at
this tlmo about 5,000 students In these agri
cultural statc-foitorenl Institution * . Nearly
11,000,000 ajres of land have been granted to
them by the general government , and more
than $ U , (100,000 ( has been realised from the
iao ! of the land thus far put on the market
The value of the buildings and grounds of
the agricultural colleges reaches $16.000,000 ,
and the value of their libraries and scientific
apparatus Is J3.500 " 00 A table containing
the number of graduate * ) returning to the
farms from twenty six state agricultural col
leges Is presented , shov Ing that In many
cases a largo percentage engage directly in
the work for which they are prepared by
the Institutions That this Is not the result
In all casis Is not through any neglect on
the part of the government to Induce grad
uates to become practical farmers. The
writer animadverts to the disposition of the
authorities of some of tbo agrleultural col
leges to provide a "too generous" curricu
lum by which young farmers are tempted to
cngago In pursuits other than farming , and
Insists that the model Institution so ar
ranges Its course that the student "will ,
perforce , become an agriculturist. "
This criticism of the management of our
agricultural colleges , says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Is berne out by the facts Certain
Institutions of this character too closely
resemble the oidlnaiy college or university.
with au agricultural annex as a pretext for
the demand for federal or state aid This
Is a matter for the attention of the farmers
who complain that modern education tends
to draw young men away from the farms to
city and town occupation. So far as pro
vision for agricultural education Is con
cerned , the government has generously fos
tered agrlcultuto , ard has aided It In eve > ry
other way that It can bo aided within con
stitutional limitations.

There are some people who believe that a
policeman hns no sense of humor. This
Impression exists largely among ; the , c upon
whom he has to use his club. The fact
remains , however , that the bit ; fellows In
blue have a keen appreciation ot the
ludicrous. Atoone who wishes to "put
him next" to a Joke doca not have to send
a diagram nloiiR with It. Though haughty
and diidaluful while on duty , the Omaln
copper is an Industrious seeker for fun at
other times.
In this connection the mind of many
an old newspaper reporter who has worked
on the local sheets during the past ten
jears will naturally revert to the faces of
a number of Omaha's "finest. " Among
all the familiar faces ) which memory re
calls Is one which stands out prominently
U Is the handsome profile of "Patsy. " There
were times when some of those same le-
portcra bad "off nights , " when their mind
were not exactly In condition to tackle i
"feature article" or "do hot stuff on a fir
story. " At these times "Patty" playci
the htar role , and has saved several genera
lions of scribes from bring "scooped , " b ;
lolling them off the jail benches Tha
"Pats.v" enjoyed this sort of exercise vvouli
perhaps be superfluous to alilrm. The be
fogged reporter generally awoke with tin
Impression that a tin peddler's cart hai
uptjct In his vicinity and the smiling a aur
ranee by "Patsy" that "there was a sulcld <
down the line" was but mcagct salvo to
his battered joints.
SOME OLD-TIMR FACRS.
In the olden times when the city's wlckoi
were locked up In the rambling old build
Ing which once reared Its ugly shape a
Fourteenth and Davenport strceta the Jal
quarters were manned by a Jolly crew. Scr
gcant llebout was jailer on one shift , vvhili
"Patsy" Havey perforate 1 the duties 01
the other. Joe Ilengcn , operator of tin
flro nml police alarm , also located In tin
building , was one of the prime spirits am
Chief Slgwart Pat CuslcU Pat Horrlgat
and others pla > cd % arious parts.
One of the favorite methods for vvhlllnj
away the time between "calls" waa In
vented by Ilengcn He dubbed It the
"gazor'fi delight " The women's quarter !
chanced to bo located almost beneath tin
operator's rooms and frequently a numbci
of spectators would congregate outside tin
barred windows and look down upon tin
"gay gazelles" who were Incarcerated there
When such was the case "Patsy" wotili
step to the speaking tube leading to tin
operator's room and whisper "water , " /
brown papct envelope , such as used to en
case the prisoner's possessions whei
brought In , would hurtle through the air
and the liquid which It contained dampcnci
the curiosity of the sightseer In proportloi
to the accuracy exercised by the thrower.
A hustle by the sufferer to discover win
nls assailant was generally found the Jallc ;
wearing an Innocent countenance which be
lied all guilt and despite the bedraggle !
condition of his tile , the victim nearly al
wa > s left under the Impression that tin
whole affair must have been a bad dream
OXi : INNOCENT JOKR.
1'at Cuslck had the reputation of attend
Ing strictly to his own buslncoa. Pcrhai *
It was duo to this fact that frequentl :
suffered good humorcdly at the- hands o
the others. Ho had among other things i
cot sta.vcd away In an odd nook of tin
station which ho was In the habit of uslnt
nt night lictwecn "hurry calls" Cuslcl
did not case himself gently down on thli
couch , as Is customary , but landed on I
moio like a diver going Into the water fron
a spring board. It may have been a love
of experimenting whUh led one of th (
"gang" to remove all the bolts from tin
cot one night , substituting toothpicks , bui
% ou cannot demonstrate this to Cuslck
Returning fiom a long run ho sought re
pose In his usual way , and It Is a mattei
of record that a stranger who was getting
off a street car at Tenth and Karnam d's- '
tlnctly heard him fall
Cuslck puichased a very handsome uni
form once which was even handsomer than
the one which preceded It. This is saying
much , for he was most particular In thl
regard. It may have been Slgwart or pos
sibly It was a patrolman , who had no guilt
In his heart toward the patiol conductor
but the fact remains that a "drunk" wan
fished out of a kettle of tar one night and
a summons for the wagon sent to the sta
tion. It was dark when Cuslck assisted
the "drunk" into the wagon. Ho proved
obstreperou-i after he had been placed there
and when the conductor gazed at hlmsell
once more In tbo light of a gas jet , lu
threw up both hands and gaid something
which cannot be run through a Morgen-
thaler. II ordeicd a new suit the next
day and swore to be revenged , but he nevet
was.
GUN CAMR IN HANDY.
Cuslck was not slow , however , In availing
hlnibelf of any loose Jollity floating around
the station An old \agrant known as John
Peel , "the biscuit blower , " wandered intc
police headquarters one night and brought
with him a villainous old wreck of a carbine
Its lock had departed , the trigger was miss
ing ami the varnished glot > b of Its stock
was a thing of the past. Intoxicated prison-
cia In those davs were separated under tvvc
heads , "plain jags" and "howling drunks"
The "plain" Individual was given a cell b >
himself , wheio ho was allowed to sleep oil
the effect of his potations , while he of the
"howling" piocllvltlc.i was thrown Into a
caje , together with the other flotsam and
jelbam which had accumulated from tin
pollto diagnet. The old imifcltct was placed
In n corner and from thenceforth became
,1 prlmo factor In the mirth making. A pro
longed howl from a prisoner chasing a
phantom snake w.io the cue for Cuslck tc
reach for the weapon. Hushing down to the
cells below ho would rest It on one of the
crossbars and something like the fallowing
ensued :
Cuslck Now , thin , > o screeching night

ChoitiH from the Jail Office Hero ! here' '
Don't kill that man !
Yells usually came from the cowering
wletch , who had taken refuge beneath hie
bunk , and the scene generally ended with
the saving of the prisoner's llfo from the
bloodthirsty n Ulcer , but only upon promise
from him to keep quiet In the future
The city pound with Sam Corey In charge
wan located just across the street from the
jail. It consisted of a high board stockade
with a llttlo old shack tucked away In one
coiner. The keeper , Jim Sparks , slept In the
hut , and .it night when an "animal" call wan
turned In to the police station It devolved
upon the jailer to awaken him. The popular
method In vogue was to shy paving stones
against the heavy plank door of the enclos
ure until the desired result was .accom
plished. The crash of stone and timber
usually lud the effect of arousing the neigh
bors , but seldom phased bpatks At length
letters began to llml their way to the board ,
In which It was hinted that either they would
have to move or a new plan bo devised to
awaken the keeper.
SCllHMR WOUKI3D WKLL.
Sparks hero came to the rescue with a
suggestion. It was proposed that he should
tlo a long rope to his big toe and upon re
tiring hang the end of the HI mo through
a knot hole In the gate. This plan met with
the Instant approval of the police. About
1 o'clock the first night the Idea went Into
operation. A call wan turned In from Ihc
cast end of the city. Jim could bo heard
snoring , even at the distance of half a
block. The jailer walked over to the gate
and found the rope < is described and In a
twinkling had placed It over his shoulder
and started across tbo street. The bundles
In a Chinese laundry next door shifted their
positions at the yell which floated up from
the shack The rope tightened , but that
mode no difference with the muscular llttlo
jailer. Ho was paid by the city for awaken
ing that pauudkct'pcr , BO he paid strict at
tention to business With a hop , skip and
a jump Sparks waltzed across the yard and
brought up ogalnit iho door with a thud.
It was imfllclont. iThoroURhly ontlsfled that
ho win awake , tha little policeman hurried
back to his desk "nntt was there but a few
seconds before Jlttf limped In , Just In time
to accuse Cnnlck ot crippling him for life
Sparks resigned his position as assistant

The Nebraska tluln. or "Tho Million club , "
as It has been called. Is one of the many In
stitutions of this city and state which has
awakened from the condition of Innocuous
desuetude Into which It waa thrown by the
prevailing business depression Incident to
the free silver agitation , nnd IH coming to
the fiont as an active factor In the progress
of the state. During the stagnation pre
ceding the election , Secretary Williamson
and the executive committee of the club
Incubated n number of plans for pushing
the work of the club nnd the organization
la In condition to begin an aggressive line
of action , calculated to Induce Immigration
to the state and bring the icsourcM of Ne
braska prominently before tne people of the
middle east farmers , as well OH Investors
The first scheme put Into actual operation
In this line Is one outlined lu n circular
now being circulated among the several
counties In the state. The executive com
mittee has made arrangements whereby It
has secured control of five pages of a stand
ard farm publication published In Lincoln
nnd on these live pages will be set forth
the advantages of the various localities
which avail themselves of the opportunity
Rach locality having n local organi/atlou
or branch of the Nebraska club will be al
lowed a portion of the space to set forth
the advantages of that particular locality.
Rach month -10.000 copies of this publication
will be sent to subscribers In the middle
eastern states Rach member of the club
will be allowed to send the paper In ques
tion for six months to 'llftccn persons for
each share of stock held bj him.
Other plans are na to bo put In oper
ation which arc calculated to advertise the
state. Rach holder of one share of slock
of the club will be allowed to list one-quar
ter icctlon of laud for sale or rent on a
list to be complied by the club nnd cir
culated among bona tide Inquirers In the
eastern states.
The executive committee has other plans
In process of development nnd expects to

Walllo Wilght. the St. Louis cjcllst. has
been In town the past week renewing ac
quaintances among his wheel friends.
A good story la told on Wallle nndery
few know It In this town. During the good
old dajs Wallle was known as the "Chief
Locator of Snaps of the Ancient Order of
United Pot Hunters of St. Louis. " At this
timehe was c > cllng editor of the St Louis
Republic and every race meet promoter bent
him copy of future events. Any good meet
was at once given to the members of the
order and they would jump down on the
country town nnd have things all their own
way.
way.One day notice came from n little town
In Missouri called Cuba that they would
run a race meet of seven events nnd all
prizes were good ones In fact , better than
the usual allowance for country rate meets
Wallle neither published this nor notified
the members , but Instead sent to the promoters
meters seven entries , nil fictitious save his
own. So on the day of the meet \\alllc
hunted up his coon trainer and with two
racing wheels hied himself to Cuba.
On arriving In tbo town he at once re
paired to the hotel , but on the way up bis
eyes fell on the usual race meet posters
advertising the events. After registering
ho got In conversation with the hotel pro
prietor and the conversation turned on
cj cling
"Well. Mr. Wright. " said ( the landlord ,
"you ought to bavo been hero to witness
our race meet given two dajs ago. The
bo > s made fast time , running the mile In
( \ little less than four mtnutcH nnd Dick
Hedgers had It all his own wnj. "
As the story luns , Wilght did not remain
to continue the conversation , but nt once
repaired to the station and left for St Louis ,
leaving his coon and trainer to look after
the wheels.
At the next meeting of the Pot Hunteis
Wallle's resignation was handed In nnd they
do say this was why be quit racing.
The greatest pain annlhllator of the age
is Salvation Oil. It always cures.

"That Omaha will have a large exposition
In ISflS Is now an assured fact , but few , per
haps , stop to realize the mngnltudo of the
display that Is to bo made and the vast
throng of people that wl'l ' be attracted to
Omaha In that vear. The government's ap
propriation , which has alriad ) been pledged ,
of ? 200,000 , together with the $500.000 raised
by subscription In Omaha and vicinity and
$1,500,000 contemplated from other state ap
propriations , will aggregate several mil
lions and if the hopes of the projectors of
this mammoth mulct taking are icallzed nt
least $ J,000,000 will be expended In the
erection of buildings and Improvement ! ! con

N. Hicks.
"This gieat International exposition will
be participated In by the entire world , the
resources and wealth of lGS7t05 ! ! fcquaro
milts will be brought to Omaha nnd placed
on exhibition. It will be to Omaha what
the World's fair was to Chicago. Property
will advance In pi lee and prosperity wlfl

confidence Is being rapidly restored and
man > eastern men are anxiously Inquiring
about the wonderful resources of the gicat

Perhaps the exposition will be the Incen
tive which will piompt them to take a west

when they leach the Oato Clt > of the West
and see the push nnd activity that char-
actcrlre the entire western portion of our
eountiy that they will bo Induced to make
It their future homes.
"For the past few jcars a combination
of circumstances has gradually caused n
marked depression In business circle's , until
the hope that remained appeared to be the
straw which the drowning man was icacb
Ing for , but now there appears to be re
ncwed activity. Rlectlon Is over , the pco
pie have quit talking of "hard times" nm

NO TIMR TO LOSR.
"Those who have the best Interests o
Omaha at heart have been wet king alma *
constantly for the success of the entei
ptise. The board of dire-dors will soon b
elected and from the pusent time on untl
after evcrjthing is In leadlncss to receive
exhibits will lequlre a vast army of work
Ingmen , and no time should be lost , bu
things should bo gotten under wa } nt th
earliest possible moment In order that th
arrangements will be such as will rellcc
only credit to our city.
"The buildings as contemplated will b
magnificent structures and vvoiks of art , am
with the thousands of exhibitors that hav
given assurance of largo dlsplajs , the In
terlor will only tend to Increase the \lsltors
interest In Nebraska and the west , whlcl
will be excited by n general survey of th
giounds. and the grandeur of the scener >
wlilcb will present Itself on June 1 , tb
time designated for the Infmmal opening
of the exposition. The site for the locatloi
of the exposition has not as jet been dc
elded upon but Omaha has many place
which would make just such a scene thn
should characterize the ground plan for
fair or exposition such as this and vvhll
perhaps pome might desire that It shouli
bo located In a certain portion of the clt\
and others that another point should b
rlioncii as the proper place. > et these Httl
differences In opinion should not prcven
all from working harmoniously for the ultt
mate success of the exposition.
"A few people conceive the Idea that th
relapse that will come to Omaha soon aftc
the close of the exposition would be o
more Injury than the holding of It vvouli
benefit us , but the majority o
fair-minded people who have watched closel
the icsults that have attended similar show
Ings think otherwise.
"The reports from the late expo ltloi
which was he-id In Atlanta show that th
city has Increased steadily c'ver slnco th
. -10 = 10 of the fair nt that place : several bank
have been established and the increase it
the population has been something fai ox
ceediug the most sanguine expectations o
the older residents of that eltj. Omaha , Fit

area of agricultural country and connectet
with the bent markets b > a network of lail
wajs surpassed by no other section of the
countrv. gives abundant piomUe that man }
who visit the exposition will be induced to

perhaps bo doubled within the next few

ABOUT MONEYNov.
What's the use of earning money if you can't act
the good of it , or do good with it ? Money isn't especially
pretty to look at , although one customer did say _ that
"gold was good for sore eyes , he hadn't seen any in so
long. " Yo\i couldn't get a man to work all day for a
couple of round pieces of silver if he couldn't spend the
silver. Men wouldn't get out at six o'clock and hustle all
day long for one or two thin slips of paper if the paper
wouldn't buy some of the necessaries , comforts or luxu
ries of life. It's only a question of how much you can
get with your money after you get it that makes money
attractive. We're taking up a collection of different kinds
of money these days , just so as to buy things with it.
We are giving m sre comlort for it comfort of body and
mind than we have ever been able to give before. For
a $5.00 bill we are selling or trading all-wool blue or
black Cheviot Suits good ones. For $6.50 of any good
money we are selling or trading solid all-wool Cassimcrc
suits. For $7.50 we are selling sime really swell suits
of plaid and checked Cas-iimcres , splendidly made , some
self faced to the armholc'J. For $ S.oo , $8.50 and $9.50
we are trading some finer suits and for $10 , $12 and
$13.50 , in gold , greenbacks or silver , we are exchanging
some of the finest suits tint have bi'cn undo this year ,
Won't you come and add to our collection of money ?
