Bis Tear for William Howard William
Howard Thursday morning enterod a plea
of guilty to a charge of robbing the resi
dence of E. W. Swobe, Thirty-sixth and
Dodge streets, and was sentenoed to six
years in the penitentiary by Judge Troup.
W. W. Dodge, Howard s attorney, made a
touching appeal for clemency. He said
Howard's 14-year-old son had written a
letter declaring he would stand by his
father, even though he were sent to the
penitentiary. He said ha would go to
Lincoln, too, and visit his father fre
quently In his cell. Judge Troup told
Howard he should have thought of
his son before he committed the
burglary. Howard haa a long penl-
j tentlary record In other states snd Judge
Troup referred to this In announcing his
punishment. He was caught at the Union
depot with the plunder stolen from the
Swobe residence In a grip ready to leave
on the next train.

submission of all bids. Many of the con
tractors of Omaha are figuring on the
plans, which are exceedingly Intricate, as
the new building will be a moot desirable
contract to secure.
Another Apartment Home.
A modern apartment house or a row of
St. Ixiuis brick flats wUl be built this sea
son by William Redgwlck on three lots
recently bought by him at the northeast
corner of Thirty-fifth and Dodge streets
from Harrison & M,Um. The Improve

be begun as soon as the type of building Is
definitely deckled. The lots are consider
ably belnw grade and sold at a very low
ftrure when the desirable location Is taken
Into consideration, but this will not prove
a serious obstacle In the building of the
brick flats or the apartment houe, as the
basements of the new structures will ex

C. E. Williamson, chairman cf the Civic
Improvement league, has called a sj e ial
rr.eetirr of the playgrojr.d committee Sat
urday afternoon at I o'clock st the Com
mercial club. At this meeting future plans
will be discussed for the malntenanee of
the playgrounds at Twentieth and Harney
and an effort still be made to secure more
apparatus for the games of the children.
Their pit-sent location ot grounds is very
deslrsble and It is hoped that there will
be no necrislty of considering new quar
ters. The only leason of a change would
be that the grounde are suhject to sale,
hut ss there has ben no intimation that
the grounds have been sold this difficulty
probably will not arise.
The Improvement league held a meeting
Thursday slernoon at 1 o'clock at the
Crelghton Institute, when new officer were
elected and future pun deliberated upon.

Negotiations are now on between the
lessees of the building occupied by the
Omaha Rubber company and Mr. Mink for
the addition of one mrre story to the pres
ent building or the extension of tha build
ing to the alley on the north side. The
buHd;r has become Insdequate In size for
the business transacted by the rubber com

Mr. Mink and Mr. Ames are both golf

but that If he was In need arrangements
might be made to send the applicant to the
Old Soldiers' home at Leavenworth, where
he would he comfortably cared for for the

Prelsht Car iitnatlon.
The freight car situation is better in the
middle west than It has been for some
time. Th:s Is accounted for. first, by the
light loading of grain by the farmers, who
are engaged In their spring work, and.
secondly, by the refussl of the railroads
south of St. Louis to accept grain for
Nashville because of the sccumulatlon of
grain at that point and the liability of the
grain heating in the cars, this being the
season of germination.
The Burlington has had for ten days all
the equipment necessary for all clsnses of
business, because of the slack in the de
mand for grain cars. There is still a little
1!6 corn In the country and about t or
per cent of the 1W8 corn, which Is being
held for higher rrices and other reasons.
All the rosds are In bettor shspe then
they have been for some time, as the
blockade was raised on the Union Pacific
over a week ago- and that read has been
able to take all the cars which the othet
roada were holding for it.
The great Increase In the wealth of Ne
braska may be accounted for In a way
by figures which have been prepared b
the railroads, showing that 86 per cent ol
the state business which s handled is ton
nage going out of Nebraska.
I'nlon Pnclflo Rnlldlnar Motors.
The I'nlon Pacific has under construction
at the Omaha shops ten new gasoline motor
cars which will be put Into service as soon
ss they are completed. Superintendent Mc
Keen thinks he has about solved the prob
lem of motor cars and these new cars will
be put to work where they can help out by
doing branch line and other service which
would otherwise require a locomotive and
entire train crew.
The first cars put out were experimental
in a degree, but they did remarkably well.
Nns. 8 and 9 have been doing exceptional
work. No. 8 runs dally between Beattlce
and Lincoln and has built up quite a busi
ness. The trouble haa been with these cars
that they were scattered all over the coun
try, one being at Galveston, one at San
Francisco and one In New York, and this
arrangement made them so scattered that
should anything break they were too far
from the shops, or should a motor become
sick there might be none there who could
run the motor. With the Installation of
more of these cars supply stations can be
maintained and should a part break It will
not take so long to repair the damage.
With al these facts considered it Is said
that No. 8 has -been running for over six
months wit)) less repairs thsn a locomotive
would have required doing the same work.

BURGLARS DRIVING HIM MAD
Omaha noosehalder Gannt and Hol-low-F.yed
Over a Prospective
Predatory Call.
"Well, sir. If this is going to continue
I'll be a nervous wreck," snld a certain
buyer for a South Omaha packing house
the other morning when he appeared for
work, looking haggard and hollow eyed.
Several, sympathetic confreres Inquired the
rsuse of the remark.
"It's burglars," he said, briefly.
"What, had 'em In your house?" asked
one.
"Not yet." ssld the buyer, "but my wife
expects them any minute. Tou see they
broke Into the house across the street a
few nights ago and took a couple of
watches and some other valuables. Well,
my wife has been hearing all about It
from the woman in that house. She's
heard so much that her mind thinks of
nothing but burglars. I tried to comfort
her snd reaxsure her, but no use.
"Well, night before last we went to bed
and I hadn't had more than forty winks
till I was awakened by my wife. Burglars
downstairs.' she whispered. I told her it
was nonsense, but it was no use, I had
to go down. Ths hall was dim below, but
my eyes, dull with sleep, discerned a
burly form standing by the door. It was
motionless. I fancied I could see a gun
gleaning In the fellow's belt. He was evi
dently stowing away his booty. My wife
was standing at the head of the stairs. I
am not a large man and derided I must
depfnd on surprise. I got within five feet
of the fellow, and then with a leap 1
grabbed him In my arms. Next thing I
heard was a scream, a feminine scream.
My burly burglar resolved himself Into
two persons. You see, I had forgotten that
my niece, who Is staying with us for a
short time, wss enterta.nlng a young mm.
They were just saying good night when I
surprised them."

Irrigation
Means Wealth
Each year records an advance in the values of irrigated
lands. A strong illustration of higher values is shown in the
vicinity of Brush and Fort Morgan, Colorado, where two new
beet sugar factories were completed in ll'Oij. Irrigated lands
from which sugar beets were raised have risen in value from
$40.00 or $30.00 an acre to $S0.00 and $150.00 jicr acre.
There are many desirable tracts, botli unimproved and under
crops, in the Bijou and Jackson Reservoir district of Eastern Col
orado, that can be bought today very cheap, at juices which ex
perience shows will double in value when such lands are planted
to sugar beets.
"What is the value per acre of sugar beet lands that yield for
the season net earnings of 35 to 40 dollars per acre?
