MANAGER SMITH MAKES A STATEMENT
I I sable to Get Any Pe-eltlv Prom

Be Completed.
- i
Residents of the city along the proposed
route of the extension of the Harney itreet
car Una to Prospect Mill may expect to aee
that IId la Operation aome time this sum
mer or fall, but so far as gettinig a definite
tlra fixed by the officials of the Omaha
Street Railway company they are as much
In the dark aa ever, for the company has
received no rails for that extension, and
what la more, It haa received no positive
assurance that It ever will receive them.
"Last winter when we made the contract
for the rails we looked up every mill in
tha country," Bald Manager Smith. "The
beat we could do was to find one which
would promise- to snake delivery In March
or April, or possibly aooner. We placed
the order with tola I company and from
time to time have received assurance that
the rails would be delivered. The last
letter we received was to the effect that
they would be delivered aome time In June
and with that promise we have to be satis
fied, for all of the companies are Independ
ent, bavinaa orders on 'hand aufBclent to
keep their mills busy for twelve months.
Cannot Fix a Date.
"When wa placed the order we expected
to have cara running In May, but now we
cannot tell when tbcf Will be running The
special work, for the. Una- la already here
and we could 'place it in. but what la tha
use? We can keep our force at work plac
ing special work on lines now In operation
and then have that work In place on the
"' Prospect Mill extension by the time It Is
i-. needed." .
In the meantime the resident along the
.route are becoming anxious and a dele-v.-
nation recently appeared before the city
( council aaklng that body to use lis Influence
with the company to have the Una com
. pleted before cold -weather. Tha anawer
of the company waa In line with the atate
" Bunt of Mr. Smith given above, and here
the matter must rest until a rolling mill
In Pennsylvania reachea the order plaoed
by the company alx months ago.

tricts, which will involve an outlay of about
$2,000. They met yesterday with Aa-
U slant City Engineer Craig and decided

PUBLISHES FAKE OBITUARY
Former Postmaster Rase of Curtis
Tarns Column Itnlrs of .
His Taper.
H. D Satterfield, superintendent of tha
Hector-Dltman cattle ranch ot Frontier
county, arrived In thla city yesterday to
lay In a atock ot supplies for the aummer.
After discussing cheerfully the copious
ralna that have fallen In his diatrlct. Insur
ing good grating for tha remainder of tha
aeason, he referred to B. R. Ratea, ex-post-master
of Curtis. Frontier county, who haa
recently attracted attention to himself aa a
strategiat. ' '
"Your account In The Be of Saturday,"
said he, "setting forth how Rase had his
postofflce advanced from a fourth to a third
claaa office, and how he Inveigled a young
woman Into marriage with ' him by pre
tending to be on bia deathbed, waa all right
aa tar aa It went, but It didn't tell all of
the atory. Here ta a chapter ot It that
will probably Interest your readera:
"Besides owning a controlling Interest In
several farms, a general merchandise store,
a jewelry atore and a drug atore, Rasee
atao runa a little weekly paper there la
Curtis, so you can aee that ho la still a
fairly busy man, even without tha post
offlce. Well, one day after bia wife had been
gone about two weeka bis paper cornea out
with turned column rules, and a big, black
headline that said. 'Obituary.' It waa an
account of tha death of the late Mrs. Rasee.
After describing the floral tributes that had
rested upon her coffin aa aha lay In atate
at the boma of her father In a little coun
try town In Pennsylvania, he dilated elo
quently upon hla blighted home, hta thwart
ed ambition, and the loneliness of an old
man who baa devoted bia life to the bar
ren pursuit of accumulating thla wprld'a
gooda. He bad aent her to her old home
In tha Keystone state, he aald. In the hope
that aha would regain ber wasted health,
but without avail. He longed for a touch
ot that vanished hand, and bo bowed to
the will ot Providence.
"A few daya later a woman friend of tha
late Mra. Rasee, living In Curtis, received
a letter from her, bearing the Omaha date
Una. 'It la all a lie,' Wrote tha lata Mra.
Rasea. 'I am not dead, and X never went
to Pennsylvania. I've been here In Omaha
all tha while.' ;
"The late Mra. Rasee afteryarda married
a man In Omaha named 'Smith, and ahe'a
now living bere. Of cdurae she bad no
trouble In getting a divorce from ber for
mer spouse. I suppose Raiee published tha
fake atory about her death because he didn't
want tha people ot Curtis to think aha bad
deaerted htm."

for Employes.
SHOW'S LEGAL MAN MAKES CRAFTY MOVE
Endeavors to Hare Tollee Arrest
Former Employes, Whom He
Charges rrlth Following the
Shew for "Graft."
Before the Pen American ahowa began the
afternoon performance yesterday tha man
agement had to give bonda to Contest a
claim for back salary which an even dosen
ot the employes of the show say la due
them, for yesterday morning Judge Fawcett
issued a writ ot attachment for each of the
twelve men. Constable Marrow aerved tha
writs before the performance In the after
noon. At an early hour yesterday an attache
of the show, who cUlmcd to represent the
legal end of the aggregation, went to the
police atatlon and Informed Captain Her
that following the show was a crowd of
men who made a living stealing from the
people and grafting from tha unsophisti
cated. He wanted the police to arrest
these men. The legal man aleo Informed
the captain that tha men would likely aay
tbey were connected with the ahow and that
tbey had some salary due them. In this
latter guesa the legal man waa correct,
for In a very few mlnutea twelve "hobo"
looking Indlvlduala went to the atatlon and
Inquired of Captain Her a way to collect
back salary.
Story of the Claimants.
The spokesman of the crowd was a col
ored man, -whose hands had long ago
hardened from driving stakes. He told
the captain that be and about twenty-five
more employes of the show company had
been discharged and the management had
refuefcd to pay them the money due. They
were discharged Just before reaching
Omaha and the men bad coming to them,
said the spokesman, from $2 to $5 each.
The management allowed them the munifi
cent salary of $2.50 per week beside) their
board. A majority ot them had received
no pay for two weeks, he said.
When told what the legal end of the
abow had aald about them, the apokesman
aald that tbks procedure waa a customsry
one with the abow. "It waa the Intention
of the management," he aald, "to have ua
arrested and locked up while tha show
got out of town." Captain Her advised
the men to go to a Justice of the peace
and attach the ahow. -
Tha wrlta were -aerved and tha circus
people gave bonda amounting to 161, prepa
tory to contesting the claims.

STRAWBERRY SEASON SHORT
Oregon Berrlea Will aw Appear a.t
Tweaty-FlTe Cents Per
Qaart.
' -
Last week saw practically the laat of the
Missouri atrawberrlea on the Omaha mar
ket, although a few caaea will be received
for a day or two from the northern part
of the atate, The atrawherry eeaaon thla
year haa been ahort and rery unsatisfactory
to the dealera and the people generally.
The total receipts In thla elty thla sea
son have been approximately fifty carloada,
aome. of these cara being amall. Last year
the total receipts were much nearer -150
than fifty. Aa a reault of thla prlcea have
never reached the low level of laat year,
the average being about 100 per cent higher.
Wedneaday will aee the first of the Wood
River berrlea on the market. Contrary
to the condltlona prevailing over the coun
try generally Oregon will have a large berry
crop, and while Omaha handled not more
than four cara of the Wood River berrlea
laat season, thla year It may take more
than twice aa many. But the price will be
high. The first purchase makes the open
ing price to retail dealera $4 per crate,
which will mean 25 centa a bog to the con
sumer It tha retailer la to receive any
profit.
Texaa cantaloupea are now regularly upon
the Omaha market, selling at 11 per basket,
which contains on an average seventeen
melons. The melona are good, but small,
and sell readily.
With the local gardenera the aeason is
not aa good aa last year. The cropa are
generally larger, but the prlcea are off ao
much that it barely paya to harvest certain
vegetables. Lettuce, which sold a year ago
at 25 to 35 centa a dozen heads, drags on
the market at 10 to 12 centa a dosen.
Radishes aell at to 10 centa a dozen
bunchea, where laat year tbey aold at 10 to
20 centa. Potatoes are much lower, but
atlll give a fair per cent of profit A few
native string beans being offered for sale
find buyera readily at tl per balt-buahel
basket. Pess ot local production aold at $1
per bushel, but constantly vary in price.

The rate of tax paid per mile is takea
from the report of the Inter-State Com

the figures are therefore official.
The State of Nebraska has assessed rail
road property at the highest coniporatlve
figure of any of the statea named. If you
take the atate of Missouri (which bad tho
highest valuation on railroad property In
1900 of any state west of the Mississippi)
as basis of equalisation of values, If the
Railroad valuation ia Missouri, $11,600; tax paid by railroads par mile in Mis

CHILDREN'S DAY AT CHURCH
Littls Christian Workers Demonitrata Their
Capability to Elders,
SPECIAL PROGRAMS BY SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Purpose of tha Day to Raise Edoesw-
tlonevl Fund, Foster Interest im
Schools aad Show Prog
ress ef Children.
In many Omaha churches Sunday the
pulpit orators ware tha children. It waa
their own day. Children's day, with Ita
three-fold purpose of ralalng funda for ed
ucational work, foaterlng their own. In
terest and their schools' and demonstrat
ing to tha adult public tha thlnga ot which
they are capable.
Tha exercises In tha different churches
were not wholly Identical, but In general
tha plan waa tba aama. Thar waa tha
Coronation hymn, or aome other equally
familiar; there was prayer, ecripture. read
ing, remarks by tha auperlntendent or dig
nitary of tha church and baptism of chil
dren. But mora especially there were
many songs, recitations or class exercleea
by tha children alone. At ens church
thirty-two glrla, .ranging In ago from S to
17 years, gave their processional, which
proved an unusually pleasing feature. At
tha Knoz Presbyterian tha pastor spoka
expressly to and for tha children In the
morning and thay gara their ezerlcea In
tha evening.
Among those which decided on tha morn
ing hours aa tha time of the exercises were
the Cherry Hill Congregational, tha Bed
ford Place Presbyterian, tha First Chris
tian, the Calvary Baptist, tha Walnut Hill
Metbodlat Episcopal, th Westminster
Presbyterian, the United Evangelical, tha
Pilgrim Congregational, tha Hanscom Park
Methodist, the Seward Street Methodlat,
the Flrat Baptist and tha First Congrega
tional. Tboae who decided to vary the rule
and have the exerclaea In the evening were
tha Knox Presbyterian, tho People's and
the Southwest Presbyterian. Th First
Presbyterian postponed the exercises until
next Sunday.
Although thla list Indicates that the ob
servance of tha day la general, tha Metho
dists lay claim to the honor of having In
troduced the custom back In th '70s. An
Omaha pastor aald yesterday that educa
tional work in tha Sunday school waa aya
tlmatlzed practically In 1873, and that
Children's day, or Educational day, came
to be known soon after that, Ita purpose
being not only the promotion of Interest
in tha general work, but the taking of a
special offering to aid poor students to the
education that they had not meana to buy.
The money collected In Omaha yesterday
at tha Chlldten'a day exercises in the
Methodist churches, ba aald, goea to the
church board of education In New York
City and la by It distributed wherever there
seems a proper place. The board now has
an Income of $100 per day from former
borrowers who are repaying. Other
churchea take th offering and devote It to
much tha aama purpose.

the valuation of railroad property. It would
figure in thla way:
Aa 7.76 la to 2.13. ao la 11.600 to 3.1SS.
or in case the value of cattle was equated
in the same manner, It would make tht
equation :
As 11 14 Is to 4 68, so la 11.600 to 3.822.
By averaging these two determinatlona,
it would make the railroad valuation In the
atate of Nrbranka $,610, Instead of 4,679,
and It Is evident that on a comparison of
valuea of taxes In Missouri and Nebraska,
the railroads of Nebraska have been as
sessed for $1,169 more per mile than they
should be. In other words, the railroads
have been paying 25 per cent more taa for
the past ten years than they should havi
paid, were the railroads located in the state
of Missouri.
The rate per mile paid in money as shown
by the report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission proves this to be a fact.

"Man boasts often; feels strong. Look

la an object lesson. Our theme finds numer

New Tork in 1876, when Hell Oat waa
blasted. It was tha perilous ridge ot aharp
rocks In the Eaat river, between Manhattan
and Long island. Several years war re
quired to prepare the mines. It cost an
enormoua aum. The place waa tunneled
and 4,600 holes, each nine feet deep and
three and a half inchea In diameter, were
drilled In the roof, bottom and aldea of tba
tunnel. To load them all required twenty
six tons of dynamite. AH were connected
with a battery. Tha tunnel waa filled with
water. All waa touched off. It waa a great
aucceaa. Sheeta of water and rock flaw
mightily," Several hundred feat of rock waa
cleared away. Shlpa have paaaed there ever
atnea In perfect safety. Houses a block
away were hardly shaken. Compare thla
marvel of power and boaat of man to Pelea
laat month, or Lisbon In 1756, and It ta only
a toy play by children. ML Pelea had omin

rushed from tha crater to th aaa, five miles,
and 40,000 people were dead. Tha shock at
Lisbon In 17ES waa felt In Canada and Fin

60,000 people. Such are tha power In tha
earth. Our earth la but very amall In the
aolar system. The aun la 1,200,000 tlmea
larger. There are two smaller, five much
larger planets and S00 planetoids In eur
system. All these are but a very amall part
of the universe. God guides and movea all
with perfect precision. None ever variea a

Imagination.
"Thla Almighty God la ours. Well may

St. Pierre and Lisbon are but a little out
