James Walsh of Benaon, who will super.

"Tho agricultural department will be looked after for all there la In It," he aald, "and that means a great deal. Nebraska pre-eminently Is an agricultural atate and proper care only Is required to collect a display that In many particulars will out rival anything In the United' States. We expect to beat the country on tha grass ex hibition, for tha state produces more and better crown varieties of grass than any other state owing to the great diversity of ellm.ta anil .nil.

TOLL STANDS FOR IOWA GOODS Br I dare Arbitrary not Abolished aa Freight East of Connell Blaffe Inte Nebraska. "Regarding the abolition of the arbitrary bridge toll It should be understood that this toll Is not abolished on freight coming front Icwa points east of Council Bluffs Into Omaha; It still obtains as to those ship ments," said Assistant Western Agent Duval of the Milwaukee. "Thla tariff never applied on goods shipped Into Nebraska from Council Bluffs, but did snd does yet apply on goods shipped from' other Iowa points west. A schedule of commodity rates applies on all west bound goods In Iowa, and to these rates Is added the bridge toll when shipments are mads Into Nebraska. These commodity rains were when originated declared by ral'roads to be 'unreasonably low' and were acoepted under protest, as the printed rate sheets will show. Now these rates still stand, aa does also the bridge toll, on ship ments from all Iowa points east of Council Bluffs Into Omaha or any other Nebraska point. That means of course that when. Omhi firms or dealers buy coal or other commodities In Iowa they will pay just the same freightage as they did before the abolition of this eastbound toll. Thla Is point that should be borne In mind, as It has been confused. The only toll that has been abolished Is that on shipments out of Omaha Into Iowa. Omaha has been placed on an equety with Council Bluffs, but tha Des Moines dealer, for Instance, has gained no concession." CLUE IS TRIFLE OUT OF DATE Woman Wants to Find Father Who Deserted Her Thirty-Three Years Ago. Chief Donahue Is In receipt of a letter from a married woman In Hannibal, Mo., asking his aid in finding her father, who deserted her and her mother when she was a year and a half old, more than thirty, three years ago. As her mother left her with a family by the name of Beard in Hannibal soon after her father's desertion, she knows little of either of her parents. His name was Moody and his given name probably John, although the daughter Is not certain of this. When the mother and child followed tha father to Hannibal, Mo., the mother left the child and started out to search alone. but haa never been heard from since by her daughter. Now the daughter, whose name is Sallle Mody, finds that her .father fol lowed the Missouri river with a team far north as Omaha. WORKINGMEN AND THE CHURCH Ray.

POSTAL AFTER A NEW ROUTE Presses Kegotiationi for Sight of Way Along Union Paoifio in Threa States, NALLY AND BURT HOLD A CONFERENCE If Mackar Company Seen res Thla Competition vtlth Weatera talon Omaha'a rrenle as Ilead qaarters Will Be Increaaed. The Postal Telegrapn company may In the near future begin the erection of lines long the Union Pacific right of way be tween Cheyenne and Denver and over a good strip of Nebraska territory. The Mackay company Is bending every possible effort in that direction. General Superin tendent Nally of Chicago, who haa general supervision of the Postal'a western affairs, haa just left Omaha after a consultation with President Burt of the Union Pacific regarding this matter. It Is understood from Union Pacific headquarters that while no definite arrangement has yet been made. negotiations for the right of way to the Postal are atlll on and may result in that company securing the concession that will enable it to string a long stretch of wires parallel and competing with tha Western Union. It la reliably stated that if these conces slons are granted and the company get Its Una in from Cheyenne to Denver and along the route contemplated In Nebraska, It will only be a question of time until It will se cure concessions for the extension of Its lines further west along the Union Pacific. The Postal officials are leaving no stone unturned, it Is said, that will facilitate their scheme. If their arrangements are carried out It will make Omaha a much more Important station for the Postal Mr. Nally expects to be In Omaha again Monday, when possibly negotiations will be completed for the right of way between tha polnta named. Stllwell to Rival Hill. The projected Kansas City, Mexico at Orient road, of which Edward Dickinson, formerly general manager of the Union Pacific, la vice president and general man' ager, la to become an active and persistent rival of James J. Hill, according to Presi dent Arthur E. Stilwell, and In fact will rival the Harrlman or any other lines whose purpose It Is to cultivate Orient trade. Mr. Stilwell, appreciating the fact that his route, when completed, will be the shortest to the Pacific coast from the Mis. sourl river, has given it out that he Intends to make a strong bid for Orient business. He says his line will be 500 miles shorter to the coast than the next shortest road and for that reason he will be enabled to knock the bottom out of present-day rates, which will furnish him a good starting point for entering the Hlll-Harrtman race for across water trade. Hill la bending every effort to divert the bulk of trafflo to' the Orient through his Puget sound outlet, while Harrlman Is striving just as earnestly to send it out through the Golden Gate at San Francisco, and the match is an Interesting one. But when Stilwell cuts In with his short line It certainly will be even more interesting. Stilwell will not only have the advantage of thla shorter route, but will have a fine chance of taking a leading part in con trolling the great southwest, and this will add prestige to him. Stilwell Is said to have fixed upon this scheme with all the tenacity of his determined character. Re volvlng in his mind the memory of the tight squeeze which certain older and then more' potent-financial .and railroad kings gave him In Wall stieet a few years ago, he doubles his determination not to be out' done on this Bcore. Altogether railroad men think the outlook Is most promising for a real good fight to a finish between the heavyweights. Graphic Picture of Boston. The passenger department of tha MlcM gan Central haa Isaued a unique little folder giving a brief description of Boston and also "of the best way to get there," to gether with an account of the foundation of the publlo schools, an historlo feature of this historlo old town, Illustrated with ar tlstic engravings. The object of the folder la to meet the demands of the pedagogues who will attend the National Educational association's annual gathering In Boston from July C to 10. The little book gives very Interesting accounts of the numerous placea of renown and interest, but Is re' markable because It gives them in the styl of literature that was in vogue when the colonial days were the days of youth, when Bunker Hill and Faneuil Hall were in their prime and Jedlklah ' Morse was busy collecting aata lor his famous gaseteer which came out In 1810.

REFUSE TO CUT PAH ROIL Three County Commissioners Vote to Eetain Semrs of Tax Notices. 0'KEEFFE SAYS HIS NEEDLESS EXPENSE South Oaaaba Member Also Attempts to Get the Heads of Other Coonty Employes, bat Falls for th. rr.aent. By the votes of Connolly, Ilarte and Mc Donald the county commissioners decided to continue the service of notices' of de linquent taxes at an expense of about 300 a month. The question came up on the application of Commissioner O'Keeft. to hav. reported his resolution Introduced last week; to suspend the service of notices In view of tha fact that tha "scavenger" law woulii be enforced next year. The- resolu tion was read a second time and Mr. O'Keeff. moved that It be adopted. Mr. Connolly said he did not believe the resolu tion should die for the want of a second, so he seconded the motion. On roll call he voted against th. mottog, saying he be lieved that serving of the notices brought tha payment of' a large part of the de linquent taxes. Ilarte also explained his vote by saying he agreed with Connolly, but favored a reduction of th. fee from SO cents per notice to 25 cents. McDonald did not explain. In voting for th. resolu tlon O'Keeff. said that from all he could ..ik.. ,h. ..i. trnm h t-. i """" - - t uui uiie-muawi ma ainuum ui wia ww vi serving them. Chairman Hofeldt voted with O'Keeff e. O'Keeff. hinted at a sensation which ha did not get an opportunity to v.ntilat. because of th. demand of Connolly that resolution Introduced by O'Keeff. be pasaed over for a week under th. rules. This resolution provided that whenever th. h.ad of any department of th. county govern ment had In his office a person employed upon special work h. should b. responsible for ths work of th. special employ, and that any failure on the part of th. employ, to perform the service for which h. might be employed In a proper manner should b. reported to the county commissioners. Con nolly said he had no objection to th. reso lution, but wanted it to go over a week to see why it had been Introduced. Hart. said ha favored the resolution and would Ilk. to vot. on It Immediately, but Connolly was obdurate and the matter was passed for a week. Employ. Is Independent. After this action had been taken Mr. O'Keeff. said privately that th. resolution had been Introduced to straighten out mat ters In on. or two offices, but in which ha did not say. In th. office of the clerk of th. district court and In the office of th. recorder af deeds two parsons hav. been employed directly by th. county commla sloners tl prepare Indices to th. records, In on. of these offices th. person so em ployed haa been lax In duty and when th. head of the department endeavored to secure better attention to business he was told that, having nothing to do with tha appointment, h. had nothing to do with th in iiner In which ths work was dons. Th. facts probably will be brought out at th. next meeting of th. board. Upon motion of McDonald, T. J. Davis was engaged to serve notices for th. Board of Equalization, which meets Tuesday Taylor Turner offered to pay th. county IT6 for th. uae of th. county pasture a th. poor farm. Th. matter, with another application, was referred to a committee Th. demand of the bricklayers for an In crease in wages from &0 cents to 62' cents per hour was granted. Th. county surveyor asked th. commis sloners to Instruct him as to th. manner In which th. Standard Bridge company should b. paid tor th. bridge over the Platte river near Valley. Under th. terms of an agreement with th. town of Valley tha latter Is to pay JS.000 of the total coat of tha bridge. This Is about 40 per cent of that cost and the surveyor recommended that th. county ahould pny only 40 per cent of the estimates made from rim. to tim. as the bridge Is constructed, so that the county fund will not be exhausted before the bridge Is done. O'Keeff e moved that the recommendation of th. surveyor be agreed to. but no one supporting this view the communication was referred to the com mittee on bridges. Boha Will Case (iocs Over. rVhen th.

THEN JIMSON WENT TO BED Jaat Becaaac H. Had No Words to Fittingly Express His Feelings. Young Jlmson and hla wife went out to th. country th. other Saturday, telling th. domestlo that they would spend th. night at Jlmson'a brother's. Arriving there, they found that Jlmson'a brother's famtly-ln-law had descended upon him from all parts and In legions, so that there waa not even a mantel-piece to aleep on; so after dinner they cam. home. "Pleas, gly. ma th. key," said Jlmson, at th. top of th. fifth flight. "Of course Katie is out." , "Jlmmle, I gav. you th. key this morn ing, and told you particularly' not to lore It." "Yea," said Jlmson, "and called me bark when I was halfway down stairs and took It back. Where la it?" "On th. bureau of course," ssld Mrs. Jim son cheerily. "Isn't It nig. that I remem ber where It is. I can Just se. where I put It." ' . "If you bad an X-ray arm to put through an X-ray door, aa well aa X-ray eyes." aald Jlmson, with gloom, "It might be bet ter. Can your Roentgen mind suggest any method of getting Into our peaceful home?" "I have It." cried Mrs. Jlmson, clapping her hands. "You know th. Smalls have Just gone out of the opposite apartment. Well, you go through there and out on their fire escape to ours, and then open th.. kitchen window." 'i "Yes," said Jlmson, "that's nice. Katie always locks and bars the window when 1 hav. no key, and leaves It wide open when I hav. mine and yours and hers and two or three spar. ones. Oh, yes, that's a fin. schema." "Now don't get sarcastic All you've got to do la to tak. my diamond ring and out out a little squar. la th. glass to put your hand through and then unlock '.he Catch." "Your what ringT" retorted Jlmson. "Do you think that glass can be cut with glass auch aa " "It's the engagement ring you gav. me," said Mrs. Jlmson mildly. 'That's It," replied Jlmson. "Interrupting again. If you had let me finish I ws going to say that I wouldn't spoil a fin. diamond by trying to cut common or garden glass with It. You annoy m. terribly sometimes, Mrs. Jlmson." Mrs. Jlmson remained discreetly silent for a few moments while Jlmson glowered at the door. "Yqu might break the glass, you know," sh. Anally hinted.

He turned the catch open, opened th. window and walked down the hall riping with a dishcloth th. blood off his hand, which he had cut, and found his wifs cheerfully lighting ths gas. "I beat you. I beat you." ahe exclaimed, gleefully. "How did you get In?" demanded Jlmson hoarsely. "Why, Just after you left to break In the window, ' I remembered I had told Katie to lea v. tha door unlatched for Just such an emergency, and I thought It would he uch fun to surprise you.' I neat you In. I beat you In." Jlmson went to bed New' Tork Evening Post. Brink yabit Permanently Cured WITHOUT THE PATIENTS KNOWLEDGE!
