animal Is as pretty as a picture and she
was good to look at as, bedecked with
flowing ribbon, she clipped off a mile In
2:11, unattended except on the home stretch,
when she threw dust In the fact of a right
smart of a race horse.
The shows on the grounds are unusually
Kood and today were well patroniretl. The

drawing card. The management Intends
to give them a dog feast as soon as he
can get hold of the canine. To facilitate
matters It has 'been said that any person
bringing a real live dog to the gate for the
use of the savages will be Admitted free.
Chief of Police Cooper notified the man
agement today that he would furnish the
first dog that was brought to the pound.

Berare Writes a Book.
Not content,, with exploiting his views

late candidate for governor on the fusion
ticket, at present editor and proprietor of
the Independent, has announced that he
has written a book entitled "The Free Pass
Bribery System," which Is now In the press
and will b ready for distribution within
three weeks. In his announcement Mr.
Berge says some of the things he will tell
are almost sensational and that for twenty
five years the railroads, through the free
pass, have been getting hold of state,
county and municipal officials. He la sur
prised that the people would stand for the
abuse so long.

miles west of town, committed suicide
Friday morning by hanging himself. Mr.
Swanson came to town Friday morning
leaving his brother at work In the field.

come to dinner, so Mrs. Swanson went out
to the field and found the team, but no
one In sight. She unhitched and brought
the team to the barn and was going up
to the hay loft to throw down some hay
when she discovered a man hanging from
the rafters. She went for a neighbor, who
came to town and informed the brother
what had happened.
The deceased formerly lived In Oklahoma

thinking that he was to be severely dealt
with If caught. He has been In this con
dition for some time and It Is thought

William Oahlerklng, who resides about
five miles south of this place, became vio
lently Insane Friday morning while the
family was waiting for breakfast, and
taking his pocket knife out of his pocket
and opening It, made a lunge after Mrs.

Supreme Judge J. B. Barnes, In an Inter

South Platte country. He said: "At pres
ent I know of no one In the northern part

BACON SUCCEEDS LOOMIS
New York Financier Wilt Become the
First Assistant Secretary
ofo State.
OYSTER BAY, 8ept. 4. President Roose
velt this afternoon announced officially the
ppolntment of Robert Bacon of New York
to be first assistant secretary of state to
succeed Francis B. Loomls.
The announcement was accompanied by
statement that Mr. Bacon would not
assume the duties of his office for some
time, perhaps about, the middle of Octo
ber, after Secretary Root had become set
tled In tha office of secretary of state.
For years Robert Bacon has been an
Important financier In the buslnes equation
In New York. Until within a few months
ijnce he was a Junior partner In the bank
ing house of J. P. Morgan &. Co.
At the settlement by President Roosevelt
of the anthracite coal strike, Mr. Bacon
represented Mr. Morgan In two confer
ences In Washington which made for
amicable adjustment of the trouble. Sub
sequently, when Mr. Bacon retired from
the firm of J. P. Morgan Co., the presl
dent determined to utilize his services If
a suitable place for him could be found.
Mr. Bacon was here today as a guest
or the president and Mrs. Roosevelt at
luncheon.
It Is expected that Mr. Loomls will re
linquish his office In a short time and his
resignation will take effect at the conclu
sion of a leave of absence which he pro
poses to take. No statement Is made con
cernlng his possible future In official life.
but, as heretofore noted In these dispatches.
his appointment to an Important dlplomatlo
post Is problematical.
An official party which was entertained
at luncheon today by the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt Included Postmaster Gen
eral George B. Cortelyou, Senator A. J.
Beverldge of Indiana, Judge W. L. Penfteld,
solicitor for the State department, and
Civil Service Commissioner Alfred W.
Cooley. Commissioner Cooley came to Oys
ter Bay to consider with the president some
phases of the civil service regulations as
applied to employes on the Panama canal,
Commissioner Cooley said that great dif
ficulty had been experienced by the
Isthmian Canal commission and by the
Civil Service commission in procuring the
right kind of skilled labor for work on the
canal.
"It was proposed at first," said he, "that
canal employes be excepted from the civil
service, but Chairman Shonts did not ap
prove of that Idea because he desired that
some authorized body out of the Canal
commission should pass upon the qualifica
tions of applicants. I went over the whole
matter with the president. It has been
decided now that Chairman Shonts will
appoint an employment agent In each of
the cities. New York, Chicago and New
Orleans, and the Civil Service commission
will make those agents members of the
local civil service board In those cities.
Applicants for positions on the canal work
will be required to comply with stipulated
regulations, which will 'not be made very
rigid. This will enable the Canal commis
sion to get the kind of labor It wants with
a minimum of difficulty.

Union Faoifio'i General Manager Praised
for Part in Promoting Agrioultnre.
NOVEL GATHERING ON WYOMING RANCH
Prominent Railroad, Easiness Men
and Statesmen Attend Banquet
and Land Resources of
the State.
E. J. Bell of Laramie, Wyo., has demon
strated to a large party of bankers and
railroad men that farming on an exten
sive scale may be engaged In on the Lara
mie plains. Two crops of alfalfa have
been grown, oats running from thirty-five
to 100 bushels to the acre have returned
a fine profit and potatoes, turnips, ruta
gagas hav all yielded valuable crop.
Mr. Bell just gave a banquet at his
Mlllbrooke home ranch and among those
present were General Manager Mohler of
th Union Pacific, B. A. McAllaster, land
commissioner of th Union Pacific; Charles
J. Lane, first assistant general freight
agent of the Union Pacific; 8. R. Touoey,
secretary to Mr. Mohler; Luther Drake,
president of the Merchants National bank.
and notables from all sections of the
country. .
The Laramie Republican has this to say
on the banquet:
All things considered, perhaps General
Manager Mohler was the greatest agricul
turist In the entire party. He has not fol
lowed the plow, nor has he directed the
ilantlng of farm products n detail, but he
us aided and encouraged the agricultural
development of many states. His flrBt great
experience In this line was In the state of
Iowa, where he was actively and Insistently
Instrumental In the enlargement of the
corn belt. Through his efforts and the ef
forts of those enthused by his optimism
corn was extended far north of tne son
wherein It was In early days confined. From
Iowa he passed to th great northwest, and
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
honor him as the man who persistently
urged experiments In dry farming ana in
the planting of seeds theretofore unknown
to tne soils of those states. The experi
ments were In many cases successful be
yond the most sanguine hopes of even the
optimistic railroad man. and the result was
that lands formerly a desert were given to
the plow. Vast wheat fields are now grow
ing where onlv the cactus and the sage
brush formerly existed. Much of this revo
lution was accomplished without Irrigation
and without more rainfall than that ot the
Laramie plains. General Manager Mohler
Is therefore a man eminently qualified to
judge the crops upon Bellevlew farm, and
he pronounced them far beyond anything
he had anticipated upon a plain hitherto
given up to pasturage.
At the banquet Congressman Mondell of
Wyoming spoke on the subject of "Storage
Reservoirs," Mr. Mohler on the "Railroad
and the West," C. J. Lane on "Stock Trans
portation and Its Amenities," B. A. McAl
lister on "Union Pacific Lands" and Luther
Drake on the "Western Bank a Factor In
Development."

What th Inspector Do.
OMAHA, Sept. 4. -To th Editor of The
Bee: I find that quite a number bf well
Informed people have been misled by the
false statements made by Mr. John T.
Cathers about our present administration,
and particularly about the Inspectors,
whom, he says, "are appointed to draw
their pay and do nothing but attend to
politics." As these charges are made by a
man who was known to be a republican
up to the time of the primaries last year,
when the republican party refused to nomi
nate him for state senator, they carry
more weight with the general public than
charges made by our democratic oppo
nents. As I am one of the parties charged
with tho fraud of drawing pay for services
I did not render, and as I know that I
never drew a dollar from the city, or any
body else, that I did not earn, I will not
allow the statement to go unchallenged.
The office which I hold that of permit
inspector was created by the passage of
ordinance No. 1,762, which became a law
May 22, 1889. It has been filled ever since
under all administrations, democratic as
well as republican, and there have never
been less than two permit inspectors, but
there have been three and four, when there
was not near as much work as there Is at
present. When the office was filled by
John's A. P. A. associates, when John was
a "high murkamuck" In the order, he did
not raise his patriotic voice to protest
against the robbery of the taxpayer.
The ordinance provides "that no person
or corporation shall make an excavation
In the streets, alleys or public grounds of
the city without a permit," and no plumber
can get a permit until he has a license,
and flies a bond In the sum of $2,600. to
protect the city against accidents. The
plumber Is also compelled to keep a de
posit of $.ri0 In the city treasury to pay
for any pavement he may disturb, and
pay 81 for each water permit and $2 for
sewer permits. Tho permit money Is moro
than the cost of Inspection. It la the duty
of the Inspector to see every water and
sewer pipe that la put In the streets and
see that they are up to the standard pre
scribed by ordinance, and plumbers are
not allowed to eover up any pipes until
they are scon by the Inspector. If the In
spector should neglect his 'work he would
Jrave several gungs of men idle waiting
for him, and he would not hold his Job
very long under City Engineer Rosewater.
It Is the duty of the Inspector to measure
the cuts made In the pavements and have
them charged 'to t'.ie proper parties. All
trenches must be maintained for a year
after they are made by the parties making
them, and It is the duty of the inspector
to see that they do so. All bursts In water
pipes must be promptly attended to by
Inspectors, the water shut off and owners
compelled to repair. A separate record la
kept by the Inspector In books prepared
for each kind of permit, namely: Sewer,
water, gas, water works company, electric
light and telephone. The Inspector must be
on hand whenever work Is to be Inspected,
whether It be Saturday, Sunday or at night.
He takes care of half of the city, gets no
horse hire nor street car fares.
I take a personal pride In th enforce
ment of this excellent ordinance because I
helped tq makd It, and my name Is on the
back of It as president of the city council.
I believe all the other charges made by
this disappointed politician and bogus re
former are equally untrue.

Many a bright and promising career has

before th ag of knowledge aad under

by the unfortunate contracting of sems
poisonous special dlseAse which, through
neglect or Improper treatment na com
pletely undermined and shattered th
physical strength and mental faculties. No
greater mistake can b made than to con
sider lightly the first evidence of th In
troduction of any private dlseas Into your
system or to neglect the first symptoms of
weakened mind and approach of nervoua
debility, oaueed by improper or unnatural
habits, excesses, dlselpatlon. etc
Such Indifference and neglect of th first
symptoms is responsible lor thousands of!
human wrecks, failures In life and busi

Men I Why take such desperate chances t
The manifestations of the first symptom
of any disease of weakness should b a
wsrnlng for you to take prompt steps to.
safeguard your future life and happiness.
You should carefully avoid all uncertain,
experimental, dangerous or half-way treat
ment, for upon the first treatment depend
whstnsr you will be promptly restored to
health again, with all taint of th poisonous
disease removed from your system, or
whether your dlseas will be allowed to be
come chronic and subject you to future re
currences of the disease, with th various
resulting complications, etc.
If we could but se and treat all men
when the first symptom show themselves
there would soon be little need for so-called
specialists In chronic diseases, and thera
would be few men seeking a rejuvenating
of their physical, mental and sexual powsra,
and there would be none marked with th
Indelible stamp of constitutional Syphilis!
and the sufferers from
Varicocele. Gleet, Stric

diseases would be reduced to a minimum.
But as long as MEN continue to disregard
the golden adage, "A Stitch in time .eaves
