An Inspection of orn of the alley and back yards wti mad yesterday by Sanitary Inspector Track K. Johes, aal tbe result will be the serving" of big ,1-atch of clean-up notices next week. ''It is surprising," said the Inspector, "how people will allow refuse to accumu late when there l no difficulty now In hav In garbage hauled to the river." The In spector declared that only about one-third of the residents pay any attention to the first notice served. This necessitates a sect ond and frequently a third Call from the Inspector before any effort M made to clean up. Weeds are being eut by prisoners III or der to prevent disease, and the assertion 14 made that If there Is a general cleaning up now the city may jet through the eum ner without having an epidemic of any kin I. Under the city ordinances the health boar J has the power te caost the arrest of person violating order to clean up, but such action la seldom taken except as a last resort. Cmh'( Works ta Clan.

July l.-To tho Editor of Th Bee: Everybody was glad to have Mr. Bryan Mvlve from the prostration that Waa clearly cauned by that two-thirds vote for Alton B. Parker at th Bt. Louis con vention on tbe first ballot. He made It plain In the same hour that he fell for lupport upon the stalwart shoulders of Hon. Constantino J. Smyth, his good friend and mine, that an alarming mistake hud been made which attributed the setiure to a threatened pneumonia. The galvanic power of that streak Of lightning from Judge Parker to Mr. Sheehan brought Mr. Bryan back to the platform of the conven tion In a Jiffy, with as nna display of his conceded powers ss sn actor as an Irving or a Barrett ever achieved on the stage In a condition of simulated Inebriety. The correctness of thi diagnosis prove that hysteria Is not confined to the weaker sex and also that It Is never dangerous. It confirmation Is wanted by any doubting Thomas. Mr. Bryan's continuous volcanic eruptions since he began his pretended support, but actual opposition, to Alton B. Tarkef. amply furnishes It. Next to main taining tho political placer mine bearing tho name of the Commoner! which brings Into his personal pocket 1100,000 a year, th dearest thing on thl round earth to the plutocratic heart of William Jennings Bryan is the defeat In November next of Alton B. Parker. Nobody knows better than he that tho victory of Parker will be th Immediate death of Bryan. Tho latest eruption of th Salt river geyser finds him in St. Louis spouting In herited wisdom by the yard about tbe democratic platform. This second attempt Is neant to repair damage to hi own anatomy caused by the first. Perhaps, With that pretty pair of ears on th ground again, he had heard from Mr. Sullivan, th new national committeeman of Chicago, who publicly declares that Mr. Bryan will not be allowed to speak In the campaign In Illinois because "he would do more hand . thsn good." Mr. Sullivan has evi dently taken a very accurate measuro of the distinguished Salt river statesman. It may require considerable time for him to ascertain his own position as a discredited and discarded democratic leader, but he Win wake up later on to find himself on th flat r his back In the mud. wherein, with alone blind Infatuation, ho chose to make hia bed. I wtll merely add. aa a matter of opinion, that the Bait Creek volcano of falsa pre tense and nauseating egotism Is wasting hi breath In hi voluntary volubility about particular declaration In the St. Louis platform. The real platform is embodied In the One and courageous personality of Alton B. Parker" of fcsopus, who dealt that solar' plexus blow- at ' the Hearst- Bryan combination at St. Lou La, which mashed It Into everlasting smithereens. GEORGE L. MILLED '9 THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME What ka Oldest Inhabitant aad Care ful Okaerver Heard oa tka 1 Streets. The following are a few of the things the Careful Observer and the Oldest Inhabitant beard on - their end-of-the-week ramble about town last evening: "Fine California freestone peaches, only 10 cents a dosen." "All the latest songs for 5 cents or a half dime: 'I've Oot My Eyes on You,1 'Tour face Bee ma Familiar to Me 'I Love Tou Mora Than That bther Guy,' and all the eotnt and popular songs of the day." "Mow. friends, we have juat got U.K. MakO it That's right, 2.i. Make It lnX" "Is 'that the east aide car?" ''No, iiiA'm, this Is the west side car." "Oh, pshawl Just like my luck." "Ding, dlng." "Oa, Oeorge, come and aee these new dress patterns. They are Just too lovely for any use. And only TS cents a yard. I dont see how they can do It for the money. Now, George, don't you think" "1 think, dear, we had better be getting along homo. You know we left Harry and Maud alone, and told them wo would not stay very long, and you know I always do like to keep my word." "Say, It ha been hot today. I thought I would suffocate several times, but I didn't. But then you know It la good for th earn and we city folks should not grum ble If the heat Is excessive so long as the corn Is growing. Wo need the corn, you know. Do you know I think wo are going to have a Una corn year thla season. And if this strike Is only settled soon, the Omaha base ball club wins the present seriea of games, tho curfew whistle proves effective nnd the Knight of Ak-Sar-Ben get their 1.600 members, tben wo shall all rejoloe and be exceeding glad." Then tho Oldest Inhabitant and tho Care ful Observer won two cigars on a slot machine and thought It about time to get homo. DROPS DEAD WHILE AT WORK John Waybrtght.

MINING ENGINEERS DO WELL THERE Percy A. Robblas at tka Dc Beers Company Talks Aboat General Baslaess and Mining Coadltlono. Percy A. Robblns, consulting mechanical snd electrical engineer of the De Beers Consolidated Mines, limited. Klmberlcy, South Africa, I In the city, the guest of John W. Towle. Bpenklng of matters per taining to conditions' in South Africa Mr. Robblns snld: "Ther 1 great depression in business matters there at the present time. A grcnt many business houses are In very hard straits, and there Is little sign of Improve ment. Th depression Is due mnlnly to the late war. Owing to tho depression there la comparatively little activity In mining. A large number of persons who have what would be good paying properties If they were properly worked, are allowing them to lie In Idleness for lack of capital to develop them. Most of these people are heavily Involved, and In order to pay the Interest on their notes arc forced from time to time to relinquish a portion of their stock In the enterprises. Thl haa the effect of constantly and grndually lowering the price of all stocks excer. those In the active mines which are paying dividends. There are practlca;:. no resources In the country aside from Its mineral Wealth. Farming as we know it In this country is not curried on In South Africa. There the people are simply settlers. There Is no money in the raining, of crops, and the Boers go on from generation to generation satisfied with a bare living which Is about all that can be gotten from the soli. Ajcalast American , Goods. "There is s strong anti-American feeling in the country which la Constantly grow ing. This feeling Is against everything of American manufacture. Even the De Beers company exhibit this feeling, al though It Is headed by a general manager, Gardner Williams, who Is an American. Of course Mr. Williams cannot change the sentiment of the board of director. We have two board of control governing the affair of the company. One located In Klmberley, which 1 active, and the other located in London. "During the last year the De Beer properties produced about $30,000,000 worth of rough stones, which are all. sold to a selling syndicate In London on a five- year contract This syndicate controls ths diamond market of the World, for the Klmberley properties produce about 96 per cent of the world's output of dia monds. A small percentage of the out put of diamonds Is produced by the Prao torla mine and some are mined in Brasll, but tho great bulk of the stones com from Klmberley. The Brazilian stones are the best In the, world, but tha supply Is limited. "South Africa at the present time Is dominated by the English. The Boer have gone back to their regular occupa tion of farming and are minding their own business. There is no personal feel ing between the English and Boers en gendered by the war, a it was purely a political war and wa not brought about by tha hatred of on race for th other. 'Ther are about 1,000 Americana, I ahould say, in South Africa at th pres ent time, but It Is a poor place for an American unless ho has soma occupation secured before he goea ther. The country is overrun with mechanics at present, who, owing to the business depression, can se cure no employment. Nearly every Im portant engineering- position Is filled by an American. The American engineer has no difficulty In establishing his superiority over the engineers of other countries, and of courso ptcks up th best positions on this account. "The war, booms and depression which have repidly succeeded each other in South Africa during the past few years have made times there very exciting and have made It quite interesting to live there. ell Their Diamonds Here. "Sixty per cent of the output of the Klmberley fields find a market In Amer ica, and while general business waa poor In this country the production of the tone wa reduced a great deal, but sine prosperity haa been restored in the United States ths market for diamonds has im proved gnd In consequence tho mines havs been running to their full capacity. There la no truth In tha report that the pro duction is limited to keep the market up. It Is Impossible to supply the demand for stones at thl time and the mine are run ning to their full capacity. "Th De Beer mines employ about 11,000 natives and 2,500 white men. The white men are artlaan and do the mechanical work about the mines, whll th natives do th mining proper. The diamonds are found embedded in the rock which is taken out of the mine. They are not extracted Im mediately from the stone, but it is allowed to lay one year after being taken from the mine to disintegrate. During tho time that the disintegration Is taking place the stone is spread over a broad expanse of territory and la constantly harrowed and watered. This process hastens the disintegration. It Is spread about ten Inches In thickness. The sorting of the diamonds from the rock Is accomplished by a purely mechanical pro eeoa. Tho natives who do the mining simply produce the stone In Its rough state. It re quire 1,000,000 tons of stona to produce a ton of diamonds. "The gold mines of the country are not located near the diamond mines, but are tOO miles northeast of the Klmberley fields. Tha salaries of American engineers In Bouth Africa, I should say, are about the same aa they are In this country." Mr. Robblns left Africa May 1, and ar rived In New York Juno 1. Since landing In this country he has visited the principal eastern cities and Is now on his way west He will visit Denver, Salt Lake City, the Yellowstone park and will then return to his former home In Chicago, from which point ho will go td nortjrn Michigan to Inspect the Calumet and Hecla copper mine.
