M. Crit tenden, Cnlted Slates engineer In charge of the work along the Missouri river, covering a period from JuJy 1, 1904. to July 1. 1906. has been sent in to tha War Department giving a resume of tha money expended under hla direction. The report states that the total amount expended during the fiscal year along the entire rtver for maintenance of Improve ments waa S33.M1.4S. The outstanding liabil ities on July 1. 1906, were Jt2.6M.40. The total sum available on July 1, 1906, waa 1237,622.78. There haa heen appropriated by congress In all up to July 1, 190B, for Improving the Big Muddy the aum of t9.647.840 98. Of this aum of tl.9M.S51.4S hn been expended above Bloux City and a7.575.OnO on the river below Bloux City.

One-half of this sum was np, roprlsted by congress In a speclnl net on condition that the citizens of St. Joseph raise an equal amount. The contribution has been rained and work on the big project Is now about to be com menced. Strangely enough no recommendations whatever are made as to future appropria tions or further work. ' In a Bloux City paper Major Chittenden Is reported to have given as his reason that It Is no use io make recommendations "In view of the fact that there will be no river and harbor bill before congress this winter." It seems to be useless anyway to make recommenda tions or even estimates, as so little atten tion Is paid to them by congress In consid ering the Missouri river. So I have made my 'report only to cover tha expenditures at the different points last year and the results accomplished In the general scheme of improving the river so far as our limited means would permit, and to give the sums to be expended along the river during the coming year."

NEW STREET FAIR PLANS Scheme for Ak-Bar-Ben to Contract with Big Carnival Company. OLD ARRANGEMENT TO BE ABANDONED 8nch Will B the Result if the Present Plans Are Carried Oat for Show This Fall. If present plans are carried out, Ak-Sar-Ben is to enter upon an entirely new deal In Its street fair this fall. Instead of leav ing It to the amusement manager to gather the amusements features of the great show. It is proposed to contract with one of the big street carnival companies to furnish all the entertainments of the coming street fair, free and paid. While the members of the Board of Gov ernors refuse to talk on the subject. It is known that a committee was sunt to Den ver not long ago to make a personal In spection of the attractions offered by tha carnival company, and that the committee came back enthusiast lo about It and re ported In favor of the proposition. Under the proposed arrangements, the street fair will have a lot of entirely new bills, with greater variety than has marked the previous fairs under Ak-8ar-Beu'a auspices. Looks Well Financially. From a financial standpoint, It Is under stood the carnival company's terms are re garded as eminently satisfactory. The con ditions include exclusive control of all shows Inside the gates for which an admis sion charge Is made, with only the excep tion of the regular Ak-Sar-Ben mystery show that has been such a winner from year to year. All the local arrangements, Including the gate receipts to the carnival ground, the booths for the display of mer chandise, and the county fair section, are to be kept within the jurisdiction of Ak-Sar-Ben, who Is to have a uniform per centage on the amusement feature rev enues on the same plauaa previously ex acted from Individual showmen. asphalt west of Eighteenth, so that ex tension to Tenth would add eight blocks of asphalt roadway. ,.

NEW CHURCH FOR COLORED Presbyterian Organisation Launched In Omaha Her. John Andrew Pope, A.B., B.D., Preaches. An organization of a Colored Presbyterian church seems to be one or me possibilities of the near future In Omaha. Arrange ments to this effect have been In progress for a couple of Sundays, a number of the leading colored people of the city being Interested In the enterprise. The prelim inary meetings have been held at the First Presbyterian church, Seventeenth and Dodge streets, and It Is the purpose to name the organlatlon the First Colored Presbyterian Church of Omaha. Rev. John Andrew Pope, A. B., B. D., preached two sermons and last Sunday a temporary church was organised. Rev. E. H. Jenks, pastor of the First Presby terian church, was present and led the de votional services that constituted the new body. The organisation will be finally completed In September at the meeting of the Pres bytery of Omaha. The next meeting of the organisation will be held Sunday, August 13, at Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church. Fortieth and Nicholas streets, at 1 o'clock p. m. FROM TENTHJ0 EIGHTEENTH Area Proposed to Supply Asphalt for Granite on Faraant Street. REVENUES ARE INCREASED Collections for July Enlarged by special Licenses and Beer Stamp Receipts. The collections of Internal revenue for the month of July for this district are slightly more than for the corresnondtnir month for 1904. The Increases have been In special licenses and In beer stamps. The month s average, however, corresriond fairly well with the previous year, and the increase is owing to a sudden increase In the application for beer stamDs the las few days of the month. This will crobablv average up with the corresDondlna seaso ot last year by a possible decrease during ine month of August, these two month being the dullest In revenue receipts of the year. The figures for the months of Jul) for the two years are: July, 1906, $194.68.13 July, 1904, I1M,7!.83. The movement to replace tfie granite block pavement on Farnam street, from Thirteenth to Eighteenth, with asphalt, for which petitions are circulating, seems tol have met with so much favor that an en laigement of the area to be re paved is now proposed by the creation of an additional district, embracing Farnam street, from Tenth to Thirteenth. The owner of a piece of property below Thirteenth street, ex plaining the matter, says: "We are In favor of surfacing' Farnam street with asphalt all the way from Tenth to Eighteenth, so as to make I lie street a thoroughfare from end to end. The dlm culty until now has been that there Is no way ot bringing people from the stations uptown without rattling over granite pave ments or dodging holes In the downtown asphalt. It Is a little better now since the asphalt pavements have been repaired, but what we should have Is a route from the station by direct line across Tenth or Eleventh and then west on Farnam. This would give the strangers arriving in the city the best first Impression, to say noth ing of the convenience to our own people. I do not look for much except wholesale business east ot Twelfth street, but the repavlng of Farnam street would help rather than hinder the rearrangement of the wholesale district."

SMYTH CALLS IT AN OUTRAGE As Lawyer and Father Be Pro tests Against Such Conduct of the Probation Officer. Attorney C. J. Smyth appeared before Judge Redlck Monday morning and en tered a vehement protest against the act of Chief Probation Officer Bernstein and a city policeman in entering the houses of two families named Sweeney and Gernandt at 2 o'clock In the morning and removing therefrom two boys who are alleged to be guilty of criminal acts. Mr. Smyth said the boys were taken from their parents' homes without any warrant, without even a complaint being filed. He said he was protesting as a father as well as in his capacity as an attorney, and that he considered the pro ceeding as nothing less than an outrage. "If this thing can be done, your honor," said the lawyer, "what home Is safe from Intrusion? Ai.y person, any neighbor. If maliciously Inclined, can have the proba tion officer come to my home or to yours at any hour of the night and take our chil dren away. Boys cannot be very bad who are found In bed In their parents' homes at night. The fathers of these boys are here and they are Intelligent men, who may be questioned by your honor. We demand at least a preliminary hearing, and that at once. If we cannot have It and there Is any way to release these boys by a writ of habeas corpus, I shall certainly take steps io do it." "That will not be necessary." said Judge Redlck. "We can release them on the re cognizances of the parents until court opens again, September 18." la Russia, but Mot Here. Probation Offloer Bersteln said he was willing the boys should be released on bond. He thought the Juvenile court law gave him the authority to arreBt the boys wherever and whenever ha found them if they were amenable to tha provisions of the law. "That may be done in Russia," aid Mr. Smyth, "but not in this country." The probation officer still Insisted that he had Justification for his acts and insisted that while this was the first time these boys had been caught. It was not the first time they had been suspected of breaking the law. The fathers of the two boys were then called up by the court and entered Into recognisances In the sum ef SUM for the production of their sons In court on Sep tember 18. or at any other date the court may order, and they were accordingly or dered released. Afterward Mr. Smyth said he Intended to make an investigation of the case ajd that of the law a personal matter as a parent. The Juvenile court law provides that any reputable persnn may. on Information and bUr. file wiu the clerk of a court having Jurisdiction a petition In writing setting forth that a child under 16 is either neg lected, dependent or delinquent, verifying the petition by affidavit. Summons is then to Issue and the parent or guardian must bring the child into court at a time not less than twenty-four hours after summons. In this case there was no complaint in court. LIVELY TIME FOR BERNSTEIN Strenuous Days Are These for Juve nile Court Men. Probation Officer Bernstein and his depu ties are finding life as .strenuous these days as they care to have it. Within forty-eight hours they have taken under their wing ten Juveniles charged with various offenses and they are on the trail of six others. Most of the lads taken in are charged with or suspected of thefts of a petty character, but two or three are charged with breaking and entering. One adult resident of Sheely Is charged with having lured some youngsters to steal brasses from the Northwestern road at South Omaha. Another man Is alleged to have been selling cigarette papers to chil dren. These cases of alleged abetting of Juvenile delinquents are now being in vestigated. There were twenty-three Inmates at the breakfast table Monday morning at the Juvenile Detention home, the largest num ber which has yet appeared there.

"Shipwrecked In Wonderland" might be the title of an Interesting story which could be written In collaboration by four young people who were enjoying themselves at Krug park Sunday night. Whether one of the men rocked the boat or whether one of "the young women sat too near the edge of the boat and, losing her balance, over tipped the craft, no one knows, but the four chiefly concerned. At any rate, In the pltch-bltu'k channel Just pust the brilliantly lighted "City of New York" the boat was upside down and Its occupants were in the dark wafers of the river. Two other couples, coining In another boat, heard a succession of screams, wnlcli ended in heartrending weeping. Two bass voices pleaded and tlneulened alternately. The second boat swept past the lights of the city and In the dense blackness beyond darihed Into the wrecked craft. Still louder screams from the-castaways. One man In the lifeboat held the vesnel stationary by seizing the timbers of trie wall, while the other dragged the two dripping and blub bering damsels aboard. Then they cast an chor and went forward, leaving the two hapless men to wado past polar snows and tropic palms to the point where the under ground river emerges from Its caverns. They, were four bedraggled beings who made their way hurriedly through the park to the car line. W00DR0UGH OUT FOR JUDGE .nrlr'a law I'urliier Flies anie as Democratic Candidate for Inaonhaler's Job.
