Tho V port of the road committee caused
emall-slsed srrsp at Saturday's mnettng
Of the county lioard, when Chairman Ure
asked authority to discharge Ulscn &
' Jjundquist, who have been operating a
gradnr for the last two and a half months.
Tbe basis of his request was a portion of
the report showing that while, the average
coat of grading during the first nix months
of the year was $m) a mile. Olsen & I.und
julat had been paid 4i6 and had graded
but two and one-half miles of mad at a
ooat of $16.50 a mile. The average cost of
tho other graders ran from I'll) to $S3.10 a
mill. Mr. L're said that much of the work
done would havv to he llnlshcd by someone
else and It was causing considerable com
plaint among people near the roads.
Urunlng said the work was evidently not
satisfactory, but he thought it would be
nioro satisfactory In the future after the
men had learned to use the machine, lie
thought they should be Instructed In the
Use of the grader. Tralnor sided with him
and asked for a delay until lie could go
out and look at the road himself. Solomon
aid lie was willing to give the aulhority
to the chairman of the committee to dis
charge the men, but at the request of
Itrunlng the matter was laid over a week.
Money Hide of Itrport.
The report of the road committee for the
llrat six months of the year showed the
total fund available to be fc6.47J.02, of this
tlfi.378.25 was expended, leaving 11,95.77
available In the fund. During the six
months thirty-two miles of road has been
rounded up.
Tho report of Chairman Ure on the condi
tion of the general fund was submitted.
It shows tl94,139.67 available In the fund
for the six months and $177,1115.86 paid out,
leaving a balance of $10,94.-,. til in the fund

Illil for Conl.
The board opened bids for furnishing coal
to tho court house, Detention school, In
digent poor and county hospital. Seven
firms competed and tho bids were referred
to the committee of the whole and tho
county auditor for tabulation. The bids
showed a wide difference In the price of
anthracite coal. Tho highest bid was by
A. I Bergquist, who demanded $10.50 a ton,
and the lowest by Sunderland Bros, com
pany, who offered to furnish It for $9.G0.
This price is based 011 delivery by the De
tention school.
Only "one bid being received for the tu
berculosis ward addition to the county hos
pital, the board decided to readvertlse. The
hew bids will be opened August 81.
The board concurred In tho appointment
of Dr. L. vender as coroner's physician to
take effect when a proper bond Is filed.
The latter clause was Included In the mo
tion because of a difference of opinion as
to whether the bond should be made out to
the coroner or to the county. The bond
presented was made out to the coroner,

It Is up to Bherlff McDonald to see that
no more liquor la sold on Sunday at saloons
located outsldo city and village limits. It
was put to hint by the county board which
referred to the sheriff an opinion by County
Attorney Maguey declaring It to be tha
duty of the sheriff to see that the Slocumb
law la enforced.
Mrs. W. K. Murray complained to the
board that the saloons on Center street
were keeping open on Sunday and as the
saloons In Omaha wore closed they at
tracted an undesirable class of people. The
board asked for an opinion and was told
It was tha sheriff's duty to act. Mr. Mag
uey said the board oould revoke the license
of any saloon keeper who violated the law,
but It was not In its province to enforce
the law,

been made to him that "Dahlman water

SOME HOT WEATHER HINTS
Thinics It Is Well to Hemember at
This Season ot tbe
Yosr.
How to keep cool these days is very
much of a burning question. All feel Its
necessity to a greater or less degree and
are anxious for the answer. If we could
only entirely rid ourselves of our melting
flesh and walk about In our bare bones
there might be some better chance of in
ternal and external ventilation and some
hope for cooling bakad tissues which so op
pressively consume us by their Internal
fires.
With heat Inside us and outside us, de
ferred hope ot relief meketh the man sick,
heartbroken and desperate. Handicapped
with clothes, the lightest though they be,
we may well envy the primitive man who
had no need of them, and strive to ap
proach his adaptability by gausy fabrics,
open-work stuffs, airy waists and the thin
nest and most tflmsy underwear. In such
ways we are getting a little sensible In
adapting ourselves to nature's needs.
As to the clothes question, let us under
stand the conditions to be fulfilled. Our
summer coverings must not only protect
our bodies against the calorio and chem
ical rays of the sun, but also favor skin
transpiration. The underwear and over
wear must accord with each other In this
respect. Extra perspiration must be dis
posed of by absorption and evaporation.
Experience has shown that loose meshed
woolens next the skin are most service
able to such ends. Next In order are thin
cotton stuffs of similar make.
Perspiration, far from being an evil. Is an
element ot safety, as experiments have
proved that the body parts with three
times as much heat under such conditions
as when the skin Is comparatively dry. To
give It a proper vent Is a matter of safety
and comfort. A gentle breeze with non
humid air helps us amazingly, for which we
are always duly thankful.
The color of the fabrics has also a great
deal to do with protection. Tellow, red.
green and blue tints range In the order of
their efficiency, while black Is the last on
the list, tho latter being a notorious absor
bent of both calorio and chemical rays.
Armies in the tropics, for Instance, have
discovered that helmets with red or yellow
linings are the best preventives against
sunstroke. The ordinary civilian, however,
prefers and sensibly, too the common
straw hat, which combines lightness, shade
and sufficient ventilation for all practical
purposes. Canvas and russet shoes, low
cut and roomy, are also popular for like
reasons. IJght umbrellas are very service
able, esieclally the tasteful parasol variety
which Is lined with red and la so popular
with the summer girl.
Tes. but what shall we eat and drink?
Let us understand In the first place that
we do not need much fuel for our Internal
furnaces with an outside temperature of 90
degrees Fahrenheit, but only enough energy
to keep us going at a very moderate pace.
Plain and cooling viands answer both pur
poses. Meats once a day should be suf
ficient for ordinary needs, while fish, milk
eggs, cereals and fresh fruits should con
stitute the main diet.
As to drinks, we are not so apt to be kept
within hounds. With rapid evaporation of
fluids thirst keeps apace, and the equtll
brlum must be maintained. But this esn
be done safely by plain water, and In
plenty, which Is nature's only real need
While soft drinks and malt liquors may
be taken on special occasions, alcohol In
ny of Its forms Is not only useless for
cooling purposes, but Is generally positively
harmful, as tipplers are the ones most
liable to sunstrokes. Think of this, good
friend; lf you say whisky warms you In
winter, what must It do for you In sum

LAW ENTERS MONEY DRAWER
Constable Takes Cash Forcibly from
Union Pacific Railroad.
AGENT HELD UNDER REVOLVER
Employe of Company Falllnar to Pay
Bills Coert I'ses Strenaous Means
of Satisfying- Ills Greedy
Creditors.
With his revolver drawn, Thomas Mo-
Oulre, constable for Justice Toung's court,
forced open the cash drawer of the Union
Pacific railway ticket office yesterday aft
ernoon and confiscated $34 claimed on a
garnishment suit. His deputy constable,
O. J. Oalvin, also covered with a revolver
the protesting ticket agent, R. D. Speck.
McOuire and Garvin had been watching
the cashier selling tickets and putting
money In the drawer, but did not make
themselves known until they walked be
hind the counter and ordered Speck to open
tlie drawer.
The fact that McQuire held In his hand
a paper did not convince Speck but that
It might be a case of robbery.
"These men are thieves I" he shouted.
"Call the police. Telephone General Man
ager Kalll!"
"Count us out the money, for we'll get It
anyway," piped McUulre shrilly. He la a
spare, old man and his trembly hand
caused his revolver to wobble In a way
that menaced the safety of the gathering
crowd.
'You'd better open It up," echoed Deputy
Constable Galvln as he tapped the cash
register.
"You don't look like officers to me," re
plied Speck. "I'm responsible for this
money and I know officers don't take
money at the point of a revolver.
"Well, one of your fellows owed a board
bill and his wages are garnlshecd and I'm
here to execute the collection."
"Then you should levy on some of the
company's furniture and not on funds In
my hands. Qo In to Assistant Manager
Kalll's office and make your explanation
there, but get out of this Inclosure."
Counts Oat tbe Money.
But Instead McOuIro yanked open tha
cash drawer, took out what he wanted and
started to leave.
The report spread that thieves were at
work, and according to the deputy con
stable 200 people were crowded Into the
office, some crying "thieves" and others
even "murder" and "fire."
The ticket office Is In the Fidelity Trust
building. Charles Newell, the crossing po
liceman on that comer, stopped the con
stables and compelled them to wait until
saao Watson, the company's attorney,
could arrive.
He directed that the policeman release
the constables, and went with them to
their court on Fourteenth street, near
Main. But though he offered to pay for a
certified copy of the legal papers, he could
not get It nor a reason why.
Only the superintendent at Twelfth and
Liberty streets and myself had ever heard
of this garnishment," he said. "It was an
Illegal act to go to the department In an
uptown office and raid the money drawer.
I answered this justice court that we owed
K. E. Klthcart $27, but that their papers
were not gotten up In legal form to protect
us from Klthcart collecting his wages again
lf we paid it. I advised them that an exe
cution under the circumstances would not
be valid and now that this constable has
taken cash from one of our tloket men I
shall prosecute him for trespass In office
or file charges before the county court to
have him ousted from office."
A boarding house lien, to satisfy wlch
Kithcart's wages from the Union Pacific
railway were garnished, was the cause of
the levying on the cash drawer.
It Is seldom that daylight trafflo down
town nas been blocked while hundreds
rushed to peep at men with srleaminr r,i..

ALASKA AND ITS TIN CANS
Seme Plrtnresqne Kent res of the
Archlteetnre of Boom
Towns.
While there Is but one camp In Alaska's
&O.0U0 square miles designated on the map
Tin City because of Its location In the
tin-producing district there Is scarcely a
settlement that has not more obvious claim
to the name, so tangible a part does tin
play In the warp and woof of the North
land. But It Is not of the tin that goes to
waste on the surface of America's most
northerly possession, nor the tin that min
ing experts tell us lies In untold quantities
In the regions of York and Cape Prince of
Wales, I would sing, but, rather, of the
humblest guise this most useful, prosaic of
metals Is wont to assume In the Arctics
the tin rani Far more tin In the form of
receptacles for preserved foods. Illuminat
ing, lubricating and fuel oils has been
brought Into Alaska than has yet been
taken out of Its mines. Wherever In
Alaska the intrepid white man ventures
the tin can keeps pace.
What the earthen Jar is to the mater
carrier of fair Capri, the five-gallon Stan
dard Oil tin can Is to the water vendor ot
Nome. Fresh water is one of Seward pen
insula's scarcest commodities. For drink
ing and all domestlo use water la piped in
summer across four or more miles ot
tundra Into Nome from Moonlight springs,
which bubble pure and sparkling all the
year round. In defiance of Jack Frost, out
of the heart of a neighboring mountain.
At a supply station In the camp vendors
fill their carts dally and deliver the fluid
from door to door. The water wagons of
Nome are one of this most northerly sea
port's picturesque features. In summer
they are two-wheeled carts with a sheet
Iron cylinder swaying on an axle. A
trough runs on either side. In which stand
shining rows of five-gallon tin cans. The
driver's seat projects from the left side,
and as the cart Jogs along like an Irish
jaunting car the driver's effort to hold on
suggests a side-saddle equestrian at the
mercy of a hard trotter. Where formerly
water retailed at the uniform price of one
dollar for twelve buckets, the five-gallon
tin can at two bits or twenty-five cents
Is the standard measure of value. No hab
tatlon, from Uncle Sam's caricature of a
courthouse or his barn-like official struc
tures on Barrack square to the humblest
miner's shack or Esquimau Igloo, la with
out the five-gallon water can.
As roof or house covering the tin can
Is equally Invaluable. Many stores and
houses are constructed entirely of tin oil
cans. Impervious to rain or snow, and
proof against wind, they were a godsend
when the only other available material
was earth, canvas or tar paper. The
originator of the first tin-can house In
Seward peninsula was Colonel Charles
Iheaf, the present superintendent of con
struction of the Nome-Artio railroad. "I
was employed my first Alaskan -winter In
the courthouse," said Colonel Sheaf, re
calling the Incident. "Every night, on my
way home, I picked up on the beach or in
the tundra one or more five-gallon tin
cans and carried them to the shack I
called home. I beat out each can to a
level, and when I had a goodly number
I set up the frame work of a cabin. Lum
ber was scaroe that winter at 1S0 a thou
sand feet. I made my cabin frame of
driftwood gathered from the beach. As
a woman sews blocks for a log-cabin quilt
I continued to collect cans and tack them
on to tho frame one at a time. Often
weeks would go without my finding a
can, then unexpectedly I would stumble
upon a half doaen. That was my busy
day and the cabin made rapid strides. I
kept at ft until the whole was made doubly
weather proof by an Inside lining of tin
cans. When my can house was completed
I banked It with snow and tundra and was
snug as a bug m a rug, and the envy of
the whole camp." The cabin still stands
and Is occupied, but has ceased to be a
novelty, so largely have tin-can houses
multiplied.
When paint Is available, tin-can honses
and roofs are thickly coated, often giving
a refreshing dash of color to the bleak
landscape. Paint Is no longer the luxury
It onoe was In the Northland, and so hun
gry for verdant hues are the denizens of
Nome's treeless waste, that all kinds of
habitations are liable to break out In ver
itable Finnegan greens. The Increased use
of paint has not tended to decrease the
tin can wastage, since It Is In cans It
reaches the consumer. Despite the coming
of corrugated Iron sheeting as a building
protector (there Is no fire Insurance In the
peninsula). Its costlllness debars Its general
use. Even those who have struck "pay"
are content to flatten out the discarded
cans.
Cut In two, the cans are converted Into
all sorts of toilet receptacles, serving as
washbowls In almost every mining camp
of the Arctics Notwithstanding granite
and porcelain ware are now to be bought
In the shops, and many homes possess
them, no kitchen, however well equipped
IS without one or more five-gallon tin
cans, standing on dresser or bench, or
hanging outside the door. The Esquimaux,
with the Imttatlveness of their Jspaneae
progenitors, have not been alow to reeog
nlze their usefulness and the white man'i
preference for them. In berry and fishing
season they are wont now to discard their
vessels of wood, sealskin or walrus hide
for the tin can, whose utility they first
learned aboard American whaling vessels.
Indeed, so broadcast, so varied Is the role
of the tin can In the Northland, that no
Alaskan would be surprised should the
final discoverer of the north pole find one
dangling from that long-sought pinnacle.

BAD CHECKS RARELY TAKEN
Bank Teller Carries Thousand Signa-

IS EEADER OF HUMAN NATtJEE
Paul W. Kohns Tlls How the Moner

Learns to Headllr Reootv
nise Fraad.
In the business of Oman a tanks, amount
ing to upward of 110,000,000 each week,
checks play a leading part. Though
thousands of these paper substitutes for
money are presented each day at the
windows of the several banks rarely is a
bad check taken.
"A good teller Is the best safeguard
against worthless checks." said Paul W.
Kuhns, secretary of the Conservative
Building and Loan association and for
many years with the First National bank.
"By a good teller I mean one who has
that peculiar intuition which enables a
man to read human nature and to fathom
human motives. A good teller la the
result of native talent supplemented by
years of dally observation and study of
men through the wicker of a bank cage.
"To get a check cashed In an Omaha
bank a man must be known or be Identified.
Probably not more than a dosen checks
are cashed weekly without Identification.
If a check Is for a small amount, say
under $10, and lf after conversation and
questioning and -with the aid of his intu
ition or sixth sense, the cashier Is reas
onably sure that the person Is all right,
he may take a chance on cashing It.
This he Is not compelled to do. It Is
only the natural desire to be obliging
that moves him to give the occasional ac
commodation. Mnst Know lnatnrl.
"A rood teller has ln his mind a thous
and or more signatures. He Is acquainted
with their general appearance and with
little peculiarities about them. It Is a
wonderful faculty which certain men have
for retaining these details ln their mem
ory. Of course, an Important part ln
safeguarding checks lies with the one who
writes them. The figures should be made
close to the dollar sign so that no figure
can be Inserted ln front or back of the
figures Intended. For the same reason
the written words should begin close to the
left hand margin of the check and such
space as Is not used should be filled In with
a heavy line. The history of check raising
Is full of Instances where men nave se
cured thousands of dollars by merely
Inserting a word or a figure. The sim

tal Disorders.
A physician was Just entering a ward
In one of the modern Insane asylums of
the day. The attendants were busy; very
busy. A patient a fine, athletla man of
mlddlo age had succeeded in flghtins . oft
the keepers who were struKgllnt; to get a
straltjucket on him. lie Hunt; about tho
ward, raving, growling deep ln his anger
like a wild beast, and the baffled keepers
were closing warily upon Mm for the
third tlmo when the asylum physlciun up
peared. Tho doctor watched the sceno a mo
ment. Then he Issued a curt command.
"Take him to the blue room," ho or
dered. s
Five attendants closed In upon tho
maniac, five pairs of brawny arms pinioned
tho struggling man's arms to his Bides,
another watchful keeper fluiiR open tho
door of a box like elevator and tho six
men were dropped swiftly down to wliera
another open door awaited them. In tho
midst of hlB k'oepers the lunatic wns
hustled Inside, the door dunged nnd the
keepers, releasing their hold, mopped their
sweating brows. They at leant hnd been
in the blue room before and they knew
what was likely to happen.
It was a singular vision that met the
maniac s glaring eyes. From celling to
floor everything was blue deeply, darkly,
brilliantly blue. Kven the barred win
dows were of the uniform blue. What
light filtered through tho high panes was
of a peculiar soft, lustrous color, nnd the
electric globes above reach showed the
sunie prevailing glow. The color was
everywhere. It was lmpossihl to eseapo
It. The Iron cot, the one chair, all were
blue.
The man, who stood J'ist where the at
tendants hnd left lilm, did not move a
muscle. Ills eyes, black, largo nnd staring,
stole cautiously over the strange room.
The attendants watched, him curiously. In
a few moments their unspoken predictions
were verified. The man sqtinttid on the
floor, muttering. Jerking, growling still at
Intervals, but apparently quiescent.
When the doctor came In four hours
later but one keeper remained ln the room,
and the patient was lying on the cot with
the straltjacket removed, his eyes clear
and apparently calm. The doctor walked
over to him, cast a quirk glance at his
eyes, felt his pulse and, nodding satis
faction, ssld a few words to the attendant
and left the room.
Without doubt light and color act upon
the condition of our ndnds, and the Im
pression tlius produred can be nothing
but the translation of a physiological ac
tion. Bed Is the color of strong feeling
of any kind. It Is the color of undevel
oped Ideas. There Is an Instance of a
man who, though totally blind, always
saw bright red when he heard the sound
of a trumpet. A red color has been em
ployed with marvelous success In the treut
ment of mental disorders, and the director
of a lunatic asylum at Alessandro, lied-
inont, has cured violently Insane patients
by confining them In rooms, the glass and
walls of which are a brilliant red, blue or
violet. Patients suffering from suicidal
mama, melancholia or gloom are often
placed In cottages where the decorations of
the walls and the Incandescent electric
globes are of a pronounced ruby shade.
This makes a broadly cheerful Interior, es
pecially at night, as everything In the room
reflects this ruby tinting. Placing a cm
firmed hyiiochoridrlac In such a room, a
remarkable effect was noticed on the pa
tient, for the man who but a few hours
before was moody, melancholy and Irrit
able to the last dugree, suddenly broke nut

I hope nothing I may say may be construed
