Polloe nVters In Omaha and Bouth
Omaha and railroad detectives are greatly
worried over the breaking Into of cara In
the yards here and between here and
Omaha. Saturday night three refrigerator
cara loaded with meat in boxes were broken
Into while standing on the Burlington
tracks at Thirty-eighth and I atreeU
Many of tho boxea In the car were taken
out and the meat thrown upon the ground.
All of thla kind of work la not done in
South Omaha, aa the Omaha, police are
' watching for the carbreakers. In addition
the railroads havo put on a number of
extra men to patrol the yards from here
to Omaha and protect railroad property,
With all of this help the miscreant have
not been captured and the police assert
they do not know where to look for a clue.
Air hose on refrigerator cars la also being
- cut. Train of meat leave South Omaha
after inspection, but reach Omaha with
the hose severed. Thla means a delay, as
the cars have to be cut out of the train
and held until repairs can be made.
.' The loss to the railroads la considerable
. and every effort will be made from this
time on to closely watch all trains leaving
here or coming in to see that a atop Is
- put to the breaking into of cars and to
the cutting of the air hose. As far as
known no meat has been stolen from any
, of the cars broken open, but trie product
has been rendered practically useless by
being thrown on the ground and subjected
to a sudden change in temperature.
Fight Among- Factions.
There is a lively contest on between the
.warring factions of the democratic party
' regarding tho appointment of a deputy city
cleric Clerk Glllln Is being pulled and
'. hauled around by leader and member of
the different faction until he is almost
afraid to show up at his office. It appear
that before election Glllln made so many
. promise regarding the deputyshlp that he
doe not know which way to turn.
The death of Frank Burness brought
matter to a focus and now an appoint
mont will have to be made shortly. Aside
from tbe trouble Clerk Glllln is having with
hi friends 1n the democratic party he ha
the majority of the council to please, as
the appointment of a deputy must be con
firmed. The council wants Mr. Glllln to
- name' a man who is competent for the
place, as 4he, work in this office is rapidly
increasing and an expert accountant is
needed. So far Clerk Glllln has not even
Intimated who he will name, but the ex
pectation, is that an appointment will be
made on August IS.
May Condemn BnlHIngi,
Building Inspector Welngard ha had his
attention called to a number of buildings
which should be condemned. The Inspector
baa stated that he will take this matter
'up a soon a poaslblo and will make a

After Chicken Thieves.
Frequent reports have been received at
police headquarter within thej last -week
about raids. being made on chicken roost
in the western part of the city. Detective
Elsfelder was detailed on the case and
Sunday he discovered a slight clue. In the
big railroad cut at about Fiftieth street
the officer located a cave. There he found
remnants of a fire and the remains of sev
eral dozen chlckena. It was at first thought
that tramps had been making the raids,
but a little investigation led to the belief
that the depredations were committed by
the. remnants of the old Third ward gang.
Elsfelder is now devoting his time to round
ing up as many members of this alleged
gang as he can find in order to apprehend
tne guuty parties ir possible.

FRC: CUR LETTER E3X
Isn't it m Shane t
OMAHA. Aug. . To the Editor of The
Bee: Worse, than a measly shame, that
North Sixteenth street is allowed to re
main In the condition that It Is at the
present time. Is there no help for It, no
relief from the tie that binds? Before
coming to Omaha I heard what a beautiful
city It Is, and it la true. The residential
part of the city Is unsurpassed, business
Is good and prospects for the future could
not be better. Cr ps promise more than
the usual yield. Everybody appears to
have money and willing to keep lt"1n circu
lation. The newspapers are a unit in en
couraging publlo Improvements, and In ex
tending a hearty welcome to any new
enterprise, offering facilities to manufac
turing and other Industries to come here
that will be accepted In many cases, but a
prospective newcomer with an enterprise
of any kind would most naturally Ilk to
be shown about the city, that a general
Idea could be obtained of the publlo spirit
!n evidence by its building, business cen
ters, schools, churches, eta, and in making
these general observations the investor
would most likely be driven about the
city, and the Impression mode by a super
ficial going about might and probably would
have considerable Influence with him in
making a decision. Almost the first thing
that is noticed by a stranger In a city 1
the condition of It streets. In the case
of a prospective Invester, "looking tbe city
over," would he be taken through North
Sixteenth street? If he was, would It b
explained to him that owing to some tem
porary legal technicalities (red tapelsm) the
condition of the street, a main avenue and
business artery, was in a state of "Innocu
ous desuetude," but, of course, would
soon become Infused with new life and
consequent activity, with smooth surface
and no curves?
Supposing the necessity should arise for
the city to issue bonds for a large amount.
When the bonds were offered for sal It la
probable that aome one or more of the
many large financial institutlona In the
country would be solicited to purchase. Is
It reasonable to suppose that an Investment
would be made without first having some
evidence of the thrift and publlo spirit of
the city that guaranteed the payment of
the bonds, and, as In the case of the pros
pective manufacturing Investor, would first
look the ground over?
It Is explained that owing to the unoer.
tain status of certain funds, a difference
of opinion as to legal interpretation of
ordinances, etc., and that many of the
owners of property on -North Sixteenth
street are nonresidents each In Its way
operate to keep the avenue In Its present
condition, interfering with business Inter
ests, a detriment to the otherwise health
ful city and an eyesore to anyone having
a pride In the condition of the publlo
streets of the city. Of the many thousands
of visitors that csme here during Omaha's
exposition, which was, and is, second to
none, could any of them be made to believe
that one of the avenues to the exposition
grounds has been allowed to attain Its
present condition? '
Ia there no way whereby assessments
for betterments can be made, nonresident
property owners to the contrary notwith
standing? So long as tenants continue to
occupy and pay rent to nonresident owners
what care they aa to the condition of the
street? Not living here, they can have no
pride In the looks of the city,
v It don't seem to' me, Mr. Editor, but
that' some way can be found notwithstand
ing any,' of everything, to overcome " any
obstacle, imaginary ' or otherwise. If the
citizens of the city of Omaha will say that
North Sixteenth street shall be put In a
proper condition it will be. Don't you
think o? ATjBERT C. WILSON.

KebraskJi's State Debt.
BKRTRAND, Neb., Aug. 7. To th Editor
of Th Bee: The World-Herald In giving
its jeasons for fusion with tbe two former
allied parties of democrats and populists
makes some very serious misstatements
if it remembers the statements of W. II.
Thompson of Grand Island in his 1902 cam
paign as to the conditions of the state's
indebtedness from 1888 to 1902. Th World
Herald credits all the ' Indebtedness of
12,000,000 to the republicans, when. In faet,
as Mr. Thompson's statement was that
after th end of Mr. Crounse's administra
tion ending January. 1836 it was only $500,
000 and the defalcation of Mr. Bartley, the
stat treasurer under that administration,
added $600,000. which is the fault of Mr.
Crounse's successor If his statement would
be taken as witness before the supreme
court of Nebraska, where he said Mr. Bart
ley had tendered (he securities for his in
spection in a box and he took the box with
out inspecting Its contents as evidence that
all of hi account were square with the
treasury. All of th state of Nebraska
found out to their sorrow that they were
not. Were It not for that defalcation.
would the state have had any indebted
ness at the end of Mr, Crounse's adminis
tration? But In 1900, after two fusion ad
ministrations, Mr. Thompson said the float
ing debt was $2,000,000, and very lit
tie 01 tne scnooi runes round any
Investment for the benefit of the
schools, but was parcelled out to , the
various banks drawing Interest tor the
benefit of the treasurer, as was afterward
demonstrated, and that is what the World
Herald claims that the two parties should
tie the two ropes together for.
As for the revenue law which was en
acted at the last legislature. It may not
be as perfect as It might be, but the rail
roads are kicking at their portion, which
la not satisfactory to them, if they did
dictate to the legislature as the World
Herald claims.
All of us should look up that little pam
phlet the fusloni parties Issued for their
campaign document In 1897 called "Ne
braska Redeemed," and investigate of the
hundreds and thousands which was to be
turned back Into the state treasury of the
appropriations made for the different in
stitutions which they could not make use
of and then ask ourselves how came the
Indebtedness of the state to run up Into
millions. GEORGE FARNER.

Are Exhibited.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1 (Speclal.)-The Ne
braska State commission baa Just made Its
first expenditure from the state appropria
tion of $35,0(0 set aside by the last legls
lature for an exhibition of the state re
sources at the World' fair. The expendi
ture to August 1 amounted to $25,000,
which sum ha been met from the sub
scriptions received from prlvste sources.
This represents the cost of collecting the
magnificent display of the state's products
and resources shown in the agricultural.
horticultural, educational, mineral and
dairy departments; , In taking som 10,000
feet of moving picture film of scenes in
Nebraska and. installing and maintaining
the Nebraska theater where these various
views are shown dally; and of Installing
and maintaining the various exhibits
shown by th state. The state's funds
will be osed in meeting current expenses,
which are necessarily, heavy during the
last months of ths exposition, of paying
the transportation charges on the live
stock and poultry which win prizes at th
state fair and are shipped to the exposi
tion stock shows, an item that will amount
to several thousand dollars, of celebrating
Nebraska day on October 18 in a proper
manner and of adding from time to time
new moving picture films for the Illustra
tion of Nebraska's resources. It Is esti
mated that these various needs will use
up a good portion of the state appropiia
tlon. The wonderful showing that Ne
braska has made on small an amount
of money, compared with the displays of
other states, has been due to the observa
tton of the greatest care in the matter of
all expenditures on the part of the com
mission and the patriotic spirit exhibited
by a number of Nebraska's citizens.- Gifts
of grains, com, fruit and other products
have been made freely, while the members
of the commission and the superintend
ents of all departments have given their
services without other compensation tnan
their actual expenditures. Some 'concep
tion of the economy practiced can be
gained by the fact that the attendants at
the Nebraska exhibit, cheerfully and will
ingly, are working for salaries much less
than those paid by all other exhibitor
and the further fact that the amount of
money expended for commissioners' ex
penses to date have been less than $200.

Secretary H. G. .Sheddthas Just mads a
report In regard to the moving picture
exhibition at the Nebraska theater for the
month of July, which shows that during
the month. 219 shows , were given, with a
total attendance of 62,419 persona This
means that over 50,000 people viewed the
real Nebraska as it is vividly and graphic
ally pictured at St Louis, and that all of
these people were told something about the
state In a striking and lasting manner by
the lecturer In charge. When It Is re
membered that in May and June combined
47,600 attended the shows It will be seen
how greatly the popularity of the exhibi
tion has become. In a word, the attend
ance for July at the Nebraska theater
was double that in May and June, although
the attendance At ' th "exposition ' tor the

preceding taionthar1 If win' also- be readily

Colonel Charles J. Murphy, who is known
all over Europe and this country in con
nection with the propaganda of corn, was
a caller at the Nebraska headquarters this
week. Colonel Murphy is well known In
Nebraska, having been appointed In 1890
by ex-Governor Furnas as commissioner
for the Nebraska State Board of Agri
culture. For a number of years Colonel
Murphy has been the representative . in
Europe for the state of Iowa and until
oome years ago was the, special commis
sioner for the United States tor th in
troduction of corn product in the Euro
pean -countries. Colonel Murphy has been
doing this work of Introducing corn abroad
for fifteen years, spending thousands of
dollirs of his own money in the effort.
This propaganda which he carried forth
so zealously has resulted In a tremendous
demand for corn grown in thla country
on the other side of the Atlantic The
Increase In exports of oorn from 24.000,000
bushels In 1SS8 to 213.000,000 In 1890 proves
what this gentleman has accomplished. It
has taken the place ot potatoes with a
large class of the poorer , people of Euro
pean countries, while It Is used largely in
forms of flour, drink and glucose. Mr.
Murphy Is now in St Louis sttending the
fair, as he has attended every exposition
In Europe and America during th last
thirty years. -
