A nutnan life Is to be bad for the asking.
The destiny of a child will bs given Into
the liari'la of the first who is willing to
accept It. Mra. F. M. Benedict, housekeeper
and department commander of a double flat
t 1702-04 Webster atreet, has a baby that
she doesn't mother, doesn't know, doesn't
want, doeen't have time to care for and
doe n't propose to keep.
He was left at the door of Mrs. Annie
Hartman, a roomer on the third floor of the
corner flat, some time between 9:30 and
10:30 Wednesday night. Ills apparel was
clean and fairly rood and he was wrapped In
bis own tiny cloak, with a new milk bottle
and other trappings at his side. There was
also a note, which reads:
OMAIIA, Neb., pear Friends Flense be
kind to little Teddlc, who aa born m
June 22, 1(2. Ills mother was led astray.
Bho Is weakly now and unable to take him
to the Child flavin Institute on Eighteenth
and Ohio, and hopes that ymi will take him
there, for ehe knows he will have a (rood
home there. Pray oblige a heart-broken
mother and have merry upon little Teddle.
1 God's blessing. Ooodby.
Paasrs with a Flash.
When Mrs. Hartman came home and
found this accumulation at her threshold
he took Inventory and concluded there was
nothing In it that ehe had any use for.
Promptly she descended to Mrs. Benedict's
office on the first floor and deposited the
bundle on a couch, advising that the police
be notified. Mrs. Benedict, who already
carries a considerable burden of woes, acted
on the suggestion. The police, however,
replied that with criminals in the cells and
newspaper reporters in the office, they had
all the trouble they could care for and
suggested that the county commissioners
were the ones to call on. The commis
sioners were gone hours before, and Mra.
Benedict spent the night in wrathful pa
rade with the walling Infant in her arms.
Early yesterday she resumed her tele
phoning. The county commissioners were
extremely sorry, but could give no relief.
They proposed the Child Saving institute.
The Child Saving institute's superintendent
reported that a tall and weakly woman with
such an infant had called the day before
and had been refused, because her story
seemed untrue.
Hold Foil Hands.
Mrs. Benedict was getting wrathy. A
number of young women came in from dif
ferent parts of the house to "hold" the
waif of presidential name, but not to ask
permanent possession. All pitied him, but
none wanted him. Finally, one mentioned
the Salvation Army home at Twenty-fourth
and Spauldlng. Mrs. Benedict took the
child In one hand, a small aatchel in the
other, and went there.
At 11:30, panting and perspiring, she re
turned with the diminutive elephant still
on her hands. The home is full. Evej-y
door seems closed against the little chap
whose coming into the world was not of
bis own volition and whose departure from
It seems an early possibility If he does not
receive very tender care very soon. Mrs.
Benedict hints of a determination to call
at the office of the city Board of Health,
deposit the child on Clerk Barker's desk
and let the latter do the rest of the worry

FALLING OFF JN BIRTH RATE
Haadred Less Last Six Months Than

of looo.
The secretary of the Board of Health baa
finished compiling his record of births In
Omaha for the first six months of 1902, and
the figures, compared with those of the
first six months of the four preceding years,
show a falling off In the birth rate. There
were 100 lees births during the last six
months than during the corresponding
period of 1900. The record also shows a
decided excess ef male ever female births
during the first halves of 1898. 1899, 1900,
1901 and 1902. The following figures are
taken from the records:

The record shows that there were 437
boys and 381 girls born during the first six
months of 1898, making a total of 818 births
for the period. The most prolific six
months of the time covered by these figures
is the first half of 1900, during which 910
children were born, and the least prolific
six months was the first half of 1902, when
the total dropped to 811.
RIVER WILL STAY - IN BED
It la Healthy and Growing, bat Will
Not Jnmp from Its
Cradle.
'There is no danger to be anticipated
from the Missouri river at this point," said
Weatherman Welsh yesterday, "and no dam
age can result here from the present high
water save to those who have encroached
upon the river bed. As a matter of fact,
the water at 7 o'clock this morning was
six feet and a half below the danger line
at the Union Pacific bridge, where our ob
servations are taken. Moreover, it was
one-tenth of a foot lower than on Wednes
day morning at the same time. At Platts
mouth it also lowered one-tenth of a foot
In the day, while at Sioux City It fell
three-tenths. That does not make a very
dangerous showing for this part of the
river, from Plattsmouth on up. Anyway,
the height which the water has reached
here in the last few days la nothing re
markable. We have often had it dupli
cated in years past and no sensation about
It resulted on those occasions. There is
no reason for . any big stir at this time.
Our danger line is eighteen feet above low
water mark of 1867, when the river reached
the lowest point recorded. We are now
eleven feet and a half above thla low mark,
but every additional inch we get requires
far more water than the inch before it."

IMMIGRANT BUREAU REMAINS
Mr. Lomai Telia Whj Union Pacifio With
drew from Organisation,
FIXING UP ROADBED INTO UNION STATION
t'nderaroand riplasr Belnsr Pat la to
Drala Flow from Ola Arteslaa
Well Into the Mis
soar! River.
General Passenger Agent E. L. Lomax of
the Union Pacific, who has Just returned
from the east, where he has been for sev
eral weeks on official business, brings
different reports from the immigration
bureau from those which have been going
the rounds since the withdrawal of the
Union Pacific from that organliation. Mr.
Lomax emphatically denies the persistent
statements that the bureau baa collapsed or
that It is in any imminent danger of doing
so.
"The bureau was comoosed of about
thirty-live representative roads and its
strength or durability was not menaced by
the withdrawal of the Rock Island and the
Union Pacific, notwithstanding they wars
two of tho most Important members of tho
bureau and their withdrawal subtracted
material strength. It will continue to do
business as It did in the past.
"The Union Paclflc will make no special
effort to get immigrant business. As a
matter of fact we do not anticipate that
the bureau will allow us to get much of
this sort of traffic alnce we are out of the
organization. Nor Is there any special
anxiety on our part for this traffic under
present conditions. We got out of the
bureau because of the enormous expenses im
posed by membership In the association
and what we considered an unfair division
of percentages, and I suppose the same
causes actuated the Rock Island, but as to
that I do not pretend to speak definitely.
"The immigrant business is not what it
was before and when the bureau was or
ganized. After the thirty-five roads formed
this association and the traffic was divided
among them it made a very trivial part
for each, too trifling, In fact, to warrant
the payment of the heavy expense im
posed upon the members. At least this
was our view of the case. The Union Pa
clflc by all odds led in the immigrant traffic
before this bureau was established and,
while we are 'not concerned over the busi
ness now, there will always be a certain
proportion of it that will have to come our
way."
Mr. Lomax says both the Oreat Northern
and Northern Pacific are now members of
this bureau. For some time after the or
ganization of the association, in fact until
recently, the Hill lines were not actually
members, although they observed most of
the conditions of the contract by some
tacit agreement with the other lines and
the effect was practically the same as if
they had been members. Their actual
identification, however, with the bureau
gives it some additional strength, I.J these
roads hold the key to the situation la, tha
northwest.
Mr. Lomax will leave in a day or two for
the west, making a thorough and extended
trip over the Union Paclflc aystem.
No More Landslides.
Conditions along the Union Paclflo em
bankment between the Union station and
the river bridge show some Improvement.
No more serious landslides have occurred
and aome progress is being made in drain
ing the water from the filling, although no
effort has yet been made at filling in the
great depression which took out the three
seta of tracks.
Underground piping Is to be laid so as
to connect with the main stream from the
old artesian well and carry the water off
into the river. Superficial water flumes
havs already been placed in operation to
drain the moisture from the embankment
in other places and prevent further col
lapse. The ground is still very soggy.
While the bottoms near the tracks are
pretty well under water and one spur track
leading back toward the Thomson-Houston
electric plant is submerged in places, ren
dering it useless for the present, the river
has not yet overflowed Its banks nor shown
any indications of it. In fact, the Mis
souri Is not so unusually high for ths
amount of rain that has fallen. Its regis
tration yesterday morning was 11.6. The
water in the bottoms is. from the rains.
Trains More Regular.
Trains are running with more regularity
yesterday than for several days. The Rock
Island road la still unable to use'lts tracks
west Into Omaha, but all serious obstacles
will be out of the way, it is said, within a
few days, and the road will resums normal
operation of all its trains. From the east
Rock Island tralna are arriving in good
shape. The passenger traffic Just now is
exceptionally heavy at both the Burlington
and Union stations.
Barllasrtoa to Butte.
Ths Burlington has changed its north
western route over the Northern Paclflc.
Instead of running Its trains into Helena,
as has been the custom heretofore, it sends
them into Butte, with connections with ths
trains from Helena. Butte being about
three times the size of Helena the Burling
ton figures that its business will be in
creased to this extent by ths change. The
change went into effect Sunday. '

GOLF STICKS OF SULPHUR
What They Are Isla at tne Caaatry
Clab and the fteaaoa
Therefor.
A waiter at the Country club has ths
smallpox. As a consequence the delicious
odor of the new mown hay and the sweet
perfume of the summer girl have given
wsy to the smoke of the sulphur handle
and the scent of formaldehyde. Streaks of
copperaa now mark the tennis court and
the holes of the golf links sre Hired with
germ killers. All festivities have been de
clared oft until Saturday, and those mem
bers who have rooms at the club for the
summer are spending their time comparing
arms.
The trouble broke out Wednesday. J. M.
Cudahy was to entertain a number of
friends at dinner and a dance. The din
ing rooms snd the ball room had passed
from the hands of the florists, snd the
chef was giving his final Instructions to
bis assistants. The guests were beginning
to arrive. A waiter was putting the fin
ishing touches on an already beautifully
decorated table. Suddenly and. It is be
lieved, with malice aforethought, the
waiter broke out with the smallpox,
genuine old-fashioned smallpox.
The news spread with aa much rapidity
as the bumps on the man's face. There
was a hasty exit of all guests who did not
room at the place, and the dinner was con
cluded at the Omaba club and the Millard
hotel, the guests arriving at the latter place
between 10 and 11 o'clock.
Those who sre making the club their home
Immediately called a physician, and until
an early hour of the morning a row of men
sat waiting their turn for the prick of the
vaccine point. , Yesterday It Is reported
from the club over the long distance
'phone that those who are still there have
no fears. They are using sulphur candles
for golf sticks and are going broke tipping
the caddies.
The offending waiter was bundled up by
his fellow employes and hustled off to his
home, where he Is doing well.

CASING A WATCH.
How Ordinary :Wateh Works May Be
Made More Efficient and How
Finer Ones May Be Preserved.
Ordinary watcfi 'works may generally be
made effective timekeepers by careful and
atrong caalng. The finest grades of watch
works require very strong caalng to pro
tect their delicate mechanism. The best
of all cases for either class is the Jas. Boss
Stiffened Gold Watch Case.
This is a gold case stiffened In the center
with a plate of hard metal to prevent It
getting thin and weak and bending down
on the works, aa a gold case does after
a few years' wear.
The outside plats of gold Is very heavy,
much more than is ever worn from a solid
gold case and much more than can be worn
oft in a third of a century's hard service.
In fact this outside piste of gold Is a quar
ter of an Inch thick when the process of
rolling down commences. At any rate, the
Jas. Boss case is guaranteed twenty-five
years, and none was ever known to wear
out.
The styles of the Jas. Boss case
are very elegant the asms as the
finest solid gold cases beautifully
band carved, superbly flntshe very thin
or very massive, as fancy may dictate snd
in all sixes, for men and women's wear.
The price is much lower than that asked
for a solid gold case the reaaon la that
the Jas. Boss case saves you paying for
gold that Is never seen and never used.
Jewelers everywhere keep a full stock of
theee elegant casss they have sold more
than 7,000,000 of them In the last 25 years.
Ask your dealer to see them, or for ths
book showing why a Jas. Boss Stiffened
Gold Cass is better than a aoltd gold case,
