The first great refinery ever built by independent capital In the west Is now com pleted by the Uncle Bam company and will be putting oil on the market in five days. When you Invest In this company you secure stock that Is easily worth i& cents per share right now. Refineries and pipe lines and a vast acreage of oil lands and oil wells are valuable. The Cherry vale refinery will have an earning capacity of over six hundred dollars per day under present conditions and It is already being enlarged. The company will have no trouble to sell Its entire output at the pres ent trust prices, but will deliver oil worth a third more than trust oil on account of its purity. The superintendent of the Uncle Bam refinery is from the Pure OH company of Pennsylvania. The Uncle Bam company Is going to be in the west what the Pure OH company la In the east. It will manufacture the very finest grades of oils, and with nearly three thousand stock holders scattered aU over the central west will have friends to work for the sale of Uncle Bam brands everywhere at prices that will make the stockholders of this company substantial profit on their In vestments. Better send In $100 now and secure 1,000 shares before the advance. WRITE FOR PRICES ON' FUEL AND REFINED OIL AT ONCE. Has Room for 6.000 Oil Wells. The Uncle Bam company started out on the safe and practical basis of owning and operating Its own oil properties. It now has seventy-nine wells and five pump ing plants and over thirty thousand acres of oil lands on which Is room for over six thousand producing wells, which proves how nearly this company Is doing what It contemplated. It haa oil territory enough right now to feed Its great refinery now completed and tha other two proposed re fineries and pipe lines for a century. The tork that you can secure now will cer tainly grow In value as the rapid develop ment of these properties progresses. BLUFFS OBJECTION " TO THE PAYING Hinth Strset Property Ownen Tireaten to Go Into Court, MAJORITY OPPOSED TO IMPROVEMENT Aldermen, However, Insist Street la In Bad Condition nnd Situation Demands that It Bo Improved: Interested property owners on South Ninth street, which has been ordered by the city council paved from First avenue to Seventh avenue, are up In arms and It ts said that If the aldermen do not heed their protests the matter will, be taken fnto the courts and Injunction iproceedlngs Instituted. When It was first proposed to pave this portion of Ninth street, nineteen out of the twenty-three property owners who would be called upon to bear the ex pense of the Improvement, signed a protest which was duly presented to the city coun cil. The protest, however, was to all in tents and purposes Ignored and Ninth street was included In the list of streets ordered paved by the city council at Its meeting last Friday night Alderman Olson alone voted against the adoption of the resolution providing for the paving of the several streets named In It and at the time he stated he would oppose the paving not only of Ninth street, but Tenth, Benton and Harmony streets. Alderman Olson tried to have the council vote separately on each street Included In the resolution, but his confreres declined to accede to the request and the resolution was rushed through as a whole. The property owners on Ninth street con tend that there Is no immediate necessity for paving and that the assessments based on the valuation placed on the property abutting the street would exceed the bene fits derived. On the other hand, it Is con tended by the city officials that Ninth street is already paved to First avenue and should be further so improved to Sev enth avenue at this time and later to Six teenth avenue. ' The street, It Is asserted, has been In bad condition for travel ever since the 'racks of the old Manawa line were torn up. All of the streets west of Main and south of Broadway up to Ninth street have been paved and the aldermen who voted for the resolution contend that Ninth and Tenth streets should likewise be Improved. The city council ha yet time to go back on the proposition to pave Ninth street, as It has the right to cut out this portion of the paving before the contract Is awarded. It may possibly do this In order to avoid a law suit, but at the same time several of the aldermen are of the opinion that It would be Just as well to let the matter go Into the courts and have the question settled once for all time by the supremo court- .' " . Pinna for Trade Exenrslon. Plans for the proposed trade excursion. It is expected, will be perfected this week. The executive committee of Commer cial club, under the auspices of which the excursion will be conducted. Is treating with the Burlington railroad for a special train for a three .day's trip. The excur sion, according to present plans, will not, however, be over the Burlington alone, but will be partly. If the matter can be satisfactorily arranged, over part of the Rock Island road. The Itinerary haa not been made out yet, but It Is planned to cover as nearly as possible the whole of the territory south and east of Council Bluffs to the Missouri line and half way across Iowa. The schedule will provide for thlrty-mlnute stops at the different towns along the route. The excursion will be during the first or second Week of August. This ex cursion. It Is said. Is to be but the fore runner of others later In the season. Rnaalan Boats la Bad Shape. Phil D. Davenport, formerly of this city, now a member of the signal corps stationed at Manila, P. I has written to a relative here giving an interesting account of the Russian warships, which after the disas trous encounter with Admiral Togo put Into Manila harbor. He says: "I went out to visit the Russian warships which came In here the night before (the I letter Is dated June I). I don't know for ' certain, but I think the Japa chafed them In. I did not find out their names, for , they were aU painted black, which aU J naval Teasels do la Urns of war. But talk Assets Back of the Company. The Uncle Bam aompany now has one great refinery completed and In operation. This plant, on a conservative basis. Is worth to the stockholders of the company over a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS. They have miles of lateral pipe lines com pleted, connecting about three-fourths of the Cherryvale oil fields and are com pleting additional lines. Have thousands of barrels of oil In storage and are pump ing more Into storage every hour. We have storage for thousands of barrels, one stor age tank alone having a capacity for ONE MILLION BIX HUNDRED THOUSAND GALLONS. More storage tanks are being built. These are all the best steel tanks made and will last 100 years. The re finery plant at Cherryvale looms up like a small city .and It would do you good to see It. The company has a railroad switch completed Into the grounds; also has dwelling houses, a barrel manufactory, water lines and pump stations. It owns valuable franchises for ONE HUNDRED AND BEVENT Y-NINE MILES (178) of main trunk pipe lines, reaching clear across nine Kansas counties to 1 the banks of navigable "water close to Kansas City, where the company already owns a FIFTY-SEVEN-acre farm, on which refinery No. 2 will be built this summer and the pipe line completed to it. FORTY MILES of this pipe line Is paid for and at the sta tions, ready to haul out along the line at Piqua, Ncosha Falls, LeRoy and Cherry vale, Kan. Connections will be made In the pipe line every FIVE to TEN miles and fuel oil drawn, from the main pipe line Into storage tanks fi.ll along the route through the richest section of Kansas, where It will command a ready sale from the tarmers at good, prices, as goa.1 sells for from $4 to 17 per ton along the trunk pipe line route, and three barrels of oil are equal to one ton of good coal. Our THIRTY THOUSAND ACRES of oil terri tory comprises some of the richest and moBt valuable properties In the entire oil fields. The FIVE pumping plants and the SEVENTY-NINE. producers on a part of these holdings represent an asset that some concerns have spent a million dollars for and not equaled. . In addition to all these assets, owned and controlled by the Uncle Bam company, there are now THOUSANDS of dollars In the treasury and also over ONE HUN DRED AND TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS about holes. I never have seen so many In one thing, except a sieve. The battle ship Ohio wa there to guard them. Tou know they can only stay twenty-four hours unless their machinery is broken, then they can remain forty-eight, but If longer Uncle Sam will take them up to Cavlte and dismantle them. Actually, there were holes In those boats big enough to drive a team of horses through. I don't under stand why they tried to put up a scrap with such boats, as the armor plate above the water line ' Is only about two Inches thick. One of them, a flagship, has the mainmast shot all to pieces and one of the funnels or smokestacks looked like a piece of mosquito bar. The sailors are all great big, heavy fellows, but they all look dirty and greasy. They sit in bunches in the holes made by the Jap shells and I suppose wonder what Is going to happen next. There are 137 Russian sailors from these boats lnpur hospitals and they say they have 280 dead ones on the boats yet." CARROLL ESCAPES FROM CITY JAIL Bores Tbrongrh Walt nnd Malceo DmIb for Liberty. John Carroll, wanted In Omaha for the theft of a watch and for whom requisition papers have been secured and which had not been served, owing to Carroll's hav ing applied for a writ of habeas corpus, escaped from the city Jail this morning at 1 o'clock. He succeeded in boring a hole from the corridor into a little room off the Jailer's office. With his shoes In his hand he crept to the door at which Officer Gillespie and a newspaper man were sit ting and dashed half way across the street before they were aware of what was up. The officer fired several shots at the flee ing prisoner, but failed to stop him and the prisoner made good his escape. The hearing In the writ of habeas corpus was set for today. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the Rev. Frank Case of the First Baptist church, the Knights and Ladles of Security of Omaha' and our many friends for the kindness shown the wife and mother during her long illnesi and death. FRED 8MALL, SYLVESTER D. WINN, EM ROY B. WINN. EMORY D. WrINN. WILLIAM WINN, MRS. FRANK FALKENBURO", MISS IDA SMALL, LITTLE BREECHES LIVES IN IOWA Original of John Hay's Famous Poem Kw Husky Farmer. SIOUX CITY, Ja., July 16. Special.) The hero of "Little Breeches," which poem did Its share toward bringing fame to John Hay, the late secretary of state. Is a son of Solomon Van Scoy of New Virginia, la.. and now is living near Letts, la., a big, husky farmer. Loren Talbot of Sioux City, a cousin, re calls the Incident-upon which the poem was baaed, and tells about It as follows: "My cousin was about 4 years old when he broke Into fame. Van Scoy was driving a spirited team near New Virginia one day, and when he got out of the wagon for a minute the team dashed away, taking the lad for a ride which was to make him almost aa famous as did the midnight ride of Paul Revere for Revere. Down the road the horses went, over ditches, fences snd brush piles. Finally the wagon was overturned and the little fellow was thrown head first into a drove of sheep. The father and friends, running frantically in an effort to catch the runa ways, saw the accident to the boy. With aching heart the father rushed to the spot, fearing to find the little fellow a stiffened corpse. But upon the approach of his father, the little fellow promptly oat up and said: "Dad, give me a chaw of ter backer." That was the Incident which prompted the great diplomat to write his famous verses, 'Little Breeches.' " Hall Damages Crops. WEBSTER CITY, la.. July 16. (Special.)

REPEAL OF THE ROAD LAW IS AGITATED Scaffolding All Removed from the , Capitol Rotunda nnd Work Presents nn Arttstle Appearance. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 16. (Special.) Iowa will have a pure food law passed by, the next legislature, according to the plans that are being put on foot. Ex-Governor Pack ard, chairman of the pure, food committee of the state agricultural department, has taken the matter up and' has Induced B. F. Cummings ' of MsrshalltoWn, ' speaker pro tern, ef fhe last hquse to tak up the proposed bill and push, it. It Is being claimed that Iowa is the dumping ground of all the Impure foods of the country, and Senator. . Byron W. Newberry . of Straw berry Polrit says that Iowa and Nebraska are thi Only two States ln the. west that have such lax food laws. At the meeting, of the State Bar association, which was held here the last week, Senator New berry read a paper on pure food laws and pointed out the need of one in Iowa. Through preparing his paper on the sub ject Senator (Newberry has come to be very deeply Interested In the matter of a pure food law. It Is claimed that the bill sug gested by the committee of the agricultural department at the last session was defeated because there was no one in the house or senate to champion Its cause, and with the wholesale grocers lobbying against it the bill was easily defeated. Governor Packard was In the city re cently and It Is learned had a long con ference with Dairy Commissioner H. R. Wright. The bill at the last session was killed In the committee on agriculture bf the house and was never reported to the bouse. It Is claimed that If the bill had once been reported It would have passed. It provides punishment for the infringement of the provisions of the bill; makes the dairy commissioner both food and dairy commissioner; provides that he can ap point an assistant and a chemist, and pro vides that no article- can be sold that Is adulterated with materials that are In jurious, and that all other articles of' food must contain on the label a list of the ar ticles entering into the food. Would Repeal Road Laws. Representative Lorens D. Teter of Knox- vllle haa announced that he proposes to ask for the repeal of the road law at the next session of the legislature. The new law requires that the poll taxes be paid In money and that the township trustees hire men to work all the roads of a township.' According to the old law the farmers turned out and worked their own poll tax. There were three road commissioners, who notified the farmers when and where they were to work. It Is claimed by Repre sentative Teter that the farmers In Marlon county are very much dissatisfied and claim that' the roads are In much worse condition than they have ever been before and that the men who are hired by the trustees do Inferior work and spend the greater part of their time riding from one part of the township to another. Under the old system they claim the farmers did good work for they were Interested in hav ing the roads good. Appeal In Bennett Case. Myron Bennett of Boone, convicted of sn assault with Intent o commit man slaughter, has appealed to the supremo court. Bennett shot George Colwell at Bennett's farm near Boone September It, 1904.

At the extreme top of the dome there Is a deep blue as a . back ground for the gold on the bell of the dome. Then comes the pillars and a stretch of wall of the rotunda in which there are windows, which Is painted to represent stone. Below this as the ro tunda widens out In a bell shape there Is an old rose or red with sheafs of wheat mechanically treated In gold. This brings down to the third floor and on a level with the ceilings of the house and senate chambers. The frelxe here Is decorated with the Inscription from Lincoln's Gettys burg speech: "This nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and government of the people, for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth." Deep blues and golds abound. , There was little change today in the con dition of ex-Speaker Henderson,, who Is suffering from paresis.

That Oil Trust Lie A boot the Su preme Court DerUlon. Put Oat by the OH Thieves, to Deceive Inven tors. It is a well known fact that among oil men, and men who are vitally Interested In the struggle, for justice In the oil fields against that well known pirate of Ameri can commerce, that the law passed by the last Kansas legislature to build a state re finery would never stand the test of the courts. Upon the final decision bv the supreme court last week several telegrams were sent out from oil trust headquarters In the east, but dated at Topeka, Kan. These dispatches were prominently dls played In several well known trust-owned papers and Intimated that ' this decision was very detrimental to the independent refineries. Now. don't let these oil trust scarecrows deceive you. There Is a maxi mum freight law in Kansas that is worth all the other laws that could be put on the statute books. The law Is conceded by able attorneys to be constitutional and the railroads of the fttafV have alreAdv no. cepted Its scheduled rates, which are fairly reasonanie. out not as reasonable as they will probably be made by the next legis lature. There la also a strona anti-dis crimination law. These are the two laws that mean something. Don't get It into your head that avn one little alfalfa field of Kansas Is whipped bv the oil thieves and their gang of bulldorers. Kansnns are In the fight to win and win they will. mere is not a state officer but what will do all in his power for Justice In the oil fields.

(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Major General Moody, speaking at a meeting of the Army league, said he strongly objected to the use of the word "Tommy" as applied to soldiers. "I believe it ia costing the country 1,000, 000 a year," he said. "It Is breaking down the self-respect of many soldiers and It prevents men Joining who otherwise would be soldiers." The general also considers it scandalous that there should be at present 21,000 men confined In military prisons, and he thought that when once a soldier was Imprisoned the army should let him go and try some thing else. The obsolete ballot act for the militia, he argued, might with advantage be revived and boys should be trained for the army Just as they are trained for the navy. v " Major Roper Caldbeck maintained that the degeneracy apparent In the ranks of the British army was caused by the neces sity for enlisting undesirables In order to maintain the establishment. Boys were often taken from the poorest and the low est classes who were frequently deficient In stamina and physique, moral fibre and Intelligence, and they were not seldom lack ing In courage. In dealing with what he called "pernicious wastage" Major Caldbeck said that last year 8,869 men were invalided, 7,162 deserted, 4,000 were discharged for misconduct, 1,663 were discharged as not likely to become efficient and 21,943 were committed to mili tary prisons. The present pension system, he added, was obsolete and wasteful. If each soldier on fnrelffn servloA . nitminipa trt mat aside 115 a year out of his pay, and the' state contributed $36 and Invested the whole at I per cent, at the end of nineteen years they would be able, to purchase annuities of $150 per annum, commencing at the age of 48. PLANS FOR IRISH STUDENTS One Cathollo Ecclesiastic Wonld Have Large Number Sent to Trinity I'nlversity. DVBLIN.'july 16.-(8peclal Cablegram to The Bee At a recent meeting of the Maynooth union two policies with regard to the university question were submitted to Catholic Ireland. Dr. O'Donnell, bishop of Raphoe, was for continued "agitation," and the continued boycott of Trinity col lege. He said: "So long as Irish, public opinion Is not allowed to mould Irish leg islation tse best means of getting over what Lord Robertson styles "the political difficulty" with the party 'in office Is the power to harry, to worry, to disunite and u)et, skillfully and persistently directed by our political leaders at the head of a unlt'd people, td' be turned Into co-operation only when the cause of Justice is boldly embraced. The other policy was defined in a re markable speech by the Rev. Dr. McDon ald, prefect of Dunboyne, a . striking per sonality, whose right to be regarded as the most eminent theologian In the Irish Cath olic church is hardly disputed. Dr. Mc Donald Is tired of an agitation which has led, and promises to lead, nowhere. He advocates a . Catholic invasion of Trinity WWtlPZw KrMT. PAUL or RAILWAY a.

Just put It down In your hat that he who laugh last laughs best. Remember, Kansans fin ish what they start and the ridicule and misleading statements put ou: by the oil trust hirelings the other dav In one of the cowardly acts that Is rallying all Kansas to the support of the Uncle Bain Independ ent refineries and pipe lines. This company must win the day for Kansas. It has nearly two thousand stockholders In the state and with Its great production the chances are ten to one that It will fill .the place of. three or four state refineries, and now has the ENTIRE STATE FOR A FIELD In which to sell Its products. Everybody la for It and we mould not be afraid to wager ten to one tVst 'here Is not a member of trie supreme court of the state but what would go out of his way to speak a good word for our success and to also assist other Kansas home enterprises. Kansans are standing together and there can be but one end to the present struggle and that Is Justice. Any reports sent out by the oil gang and their perjured reporter! like the falsehood wired the other day will prove to be groundless when the facta are considered. The Uncle Sam refinery and pipe lines Is one Kansas enterprise that will be watched over with a lealous eye by about nine-tenths of the people In Kansas, and money invested In this great enterprise will .be safe, as the people are not oniy going to nemann a square deal for this home Institution, but will force the Issue and compel such conditions to exist.

His proposal Is to send 300 td 400 picked Catholic boys In a body into Trinity college, "under the blessing of the bish ops." He asked: "Is it not possible to outline some scheme such as Is already working in so many of the German uni versities the highest type of school of which we have any knowledge to secure for Catholic youths In Trinity faculties of theology and philosophy, or which might serve as a nuclei for Cathollo organisations within the university? This Is nothing more than Protestant Germany has con ceded; nothing but what Irish Protestants must concede if they are to retain, as I hope they may, the divinity school in Trin ity college." , MANAWA HAS A RECORD, DAY More, People Than Could Be Takea Care of Seek the Lake for . .
