the rnrione.
Th qurntlon of coniitructlnfr an approach
on Twenty-'nth utrcrt to the west end
of the C street viadurt 1 again hPlng
coniilrlered by the city official. When the
north and south approaches to the viaduct
were built the roadway on Twenty-seventh
atreet aouth from the viaduct waa ahut
oft. Property ownera complained that by
reaaon of the building of the aouth ap
proach vehicle had to go weat to Twenty
elghth street and thence south a block
and east a block to reach residence and
boarding hminen nenr the wpt end of tha
bridge. When tlila question was first
brought up an effort was made to Induce
the railroad companies to pay at least a
portion of the cost of a south approach,
but this proposition the railroads declined
to consider. Then the matter was dropped
for a time. City Engineer Beal haa mads
estimates of the cost of an approach and
the amount of material needed. The cost
will be close to $l,7u0 and the approach, if
built. Will be 1H0 feel In length. While tha
necessity for such an approach Is admit
ted, the question with the city officials Is
tha coat In the making of the 1W6 levy
expenses were cut to the lowest possible
amount and there will have to be a great
deal of economy If this amount of money
can ba spared for the proposed Improve
ment out of this year'a levy.

officials for eight Standard voting machines

Tallinn Fcea Iaereasla.
Superintendent McLean of the public,
schools has prepared a report for the Board
Of Education showing the amount of tuition
paid during the last school year by non
residents. During the year forty-nine stu
dents attended the South Omaha public
schools and the tuition paid amounted to
1363. This sum la much larger than in the
past, as every non-resident was compelled
last year to pay tuition. Money derived
from this source goes into the general fund
of the school district.
Meat Trade Decreasing.
Local butchers report a remarkable fall
ing off In trade since the hot weather
started. At some shops the statement is
made that a large number of families are
sating meat only once a day now, as the
weather is too hot for roasts and the like.
Even If the local trade is light the packers
ire working about all the good men they
lan get every day and an Increase in the
packing house forces may be looked for as
won as the range cattle arrive In quan
tities. Dealers in vegetables report an
ictlve trade and ice cream merchants have
nore business than they can look after.

legal department of the city. In the notloea
prepared about 4,000 feet of cinder walks

the cost Is a trifle more than planks the

Not Guilty.
To the Editor of the Bee: The Sun
day Bee was In error In stating that
had printed the session laws this
year and would have to print them over
again on account of typographical errors.
The Woodruff-Collins Printing company of
Lincoln has that contract and I had noth
ing to do with it. There 1b so much talk
In the State Journal about these state con
tracts and they have taken occasion to
criticise my work so often that I am some
what sensitive on the point. If you would
take occasion to correct this error In The
Bee, I would appreciate it very much.

More Money Laying; Bricks.
Martin Johnson declured In police court
Tuesday morning that bricklaying waa
more lucrative than a position as detective.
Johnson was arrested with an old soldier
named Ralston, both being charged with
being drunk. They were released In police
court when Johnson said he was merely
trying to get Ralston away from two con
fidence men at the time of the arrest.
Johnson declared he knew the two crooks
and could deliver them up to Justice. He
was offered the position aa detective, but
declined on the plea that the trowel la
mightier than the star and tliat 65 cents
an hour on a brick wall is a better propo

Omaha Succeeds Knight.
BECOMES TRAFFIC MANAGER AT ST. LOUIS

General Freight Aaent Here,
Looked I pon aa Suc

D. O. Ives for the last two years gen
eral freight agent of the Burllnston lines

VICTORY FOR, HARDWARE MEN
Sic Van n and Maxwell Secure Conces
sion oa Rating; from the
Steel Corporation.
A victory which is considered of vital Im
portance to all hardware Jobbers west of
the Mississippi has been won by E. J. Mc
Vann of the Omaha Commercial club anl
F. W. Maxwell of the St. Joseph at the
meeting of the classification committee of
western railroads now In session at Charle
voix, Mich. These two men represented the
Missouri Valley hardware Jobbers at the
meeting.
The United States Steel corporation was
making a fight to secure a mixed carload
rating on every article manufactured by
its constituent companies. If successful in
securing such a rate, the effort would be
to make the companies of the corporation
something of the nature of department
stores for the retail trade, the corporation
getting the cream of the retail trade and
giving what might be left to the Jobbers.
"The matter In Its present shape Is not
for settlement by the committee," said Mr.
McVann. "It Is between the steel corpora
tion and the Jobbers. Why has not it been
placed before the Jobbers for considera
tion T"
The answer given was that the rating
would be so manifestly desirable to Job
bers as well as manufacturers that the
corporation had not thought of consulting
tho deulers.
Aftjr several hours' consultation the rep
rosentathen of the corporation agreed to
strike from the list all articles handled by
western Jcbbers. Such articles were elimi
nated by the two opponents of the corpora
tion and the list Is now with the classifica
tion committee for consideration.
Over 1,000,000 acres of land in the Uintah
Indian reservation In eastern Utah will be
opened for settlement August 23. Regis
tration for homestead entries will com
mence August 1 at Grand Junction, Colo.,
and at Vernal, Price and Provo, Utah, and

o'clock, when the train started out, the
