Th I funds at the disposal of the health depart ment are limited, and there Is but one ape clal officer whose duties are to prevent aa fur at possible violation! of the city ordinance prohibiting1 the throwing of garbage and other refuse In the alley, vacant lota, etc. The street supervleor, tinder direction of the committee on streets a,nd, alleys, haa had a force of men cut tin weeda on the public thoroughfares, but the owners of unimproved lota have done practically nothing In thl respect toward!

Oeorge Rogers, enroute overland from Cedar county, Nebraska, to Iowa, was overtaken Wednesday night by the storm as he was entering Omaha. He unhitched the team from the wagon when at Fortieth and Franklin streets and took the team to livery ham. Thursday he decided to resume his Journey, but to his sorrow he discovered that he had neglected to take down the location of ths livery barn and was unable to find It. He put In all day Thursday trying to locate It, and Friday, he appealed to tha police for assistance. All he remembers Is that It waa a "white front" barn.

EXECUTES FLANK MOVEMENT Mlaale Combat Expected to , Be Re earned, In Early Mornlnr Tele, phones and Wireless Teleg raphy la lie, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Aug. 10.-(Speclal.) Through the execution of a shrewd flank movement Colonel Bishop and the army of the Blues gained a decided advantage over Colonel Lincoln and the Browns In the real army maneuvers today. The maneuvers since Monday hsve all been preliminary to the real maneuvers of to day and tomorrow. As a result of today's work Colonel Lincoln was forced to fall back. Bishop crossed the Corydon bridge at daybreak this morning,' and on the first alarm to Lincoln he marshalled his forces to meet the advancing force. Bishop came down the Ridge road and Lincoln, In ad vancing, took a position on the eaat side of the road. Bishop took his position on the west side of the road, and by a flank movement was able to cut oil one of the battalions of Lincoln's army. Thus crip pled, Lincoln fell back. Further flank movements were executed with good effect by Bishop which gave the Blues ths clear advantage In today's maneuvers. Because of the fact that most of the forces of both armies are National Guardsmen from the offices and shops of the cities the maneuvers were called off at I o'clock this afternoon. Both armies posted outguarda ia guard against any sudden hostile attack and activity will be renewed In the morning, probably at about daybreak. The fiercest part of today's engagement was near the home of Dr. Squires, half way between the state rifle range, where the Brown army has been camping and the Corydon bridge, where the Blues crossed this morning. All the modern ap pliances of warfare worked perfectly dur ing the engagement The field telephone service and wireless telegraphy were both Used to advantage. Some little difficulty waa experienced by the Signal corpa early In the day. Teamsters from Dee Moines were engaged to bring the Signal corps paraphernalia out and to haul It from place to place. Last night they disappeared and this morning there was a scurrying to And farmers with teams. They were secured without great difficulty, before the main engagement opened between the two armies at about ltf o'clock. The point that gavo Bishop the ad vantage today was the fact that at about 12 o'clock 1,200 men of the Brown army were exposed to shot and shell of the Blue army for several minutes. In return, how ever, Lincoln gained some of the Blues, when the wagon trains of the Bkee army were exposed to fire of the artillery of tho Brown, and were declared destroyed ' by the umpires. The cavalry of the Brown army started down the Intervrban tracks In order to make a flank movement, but for five minutes were exposed to the' (Ire of the Blues, and were declared partly cut off. The Cavalry Is a detachment of the Second United States regiment sta tioned at Fort Dos Moines. Tonight the Blues are oamplng on the Newburn farm, and the Browns at Camp Bowen, on the state rifle range. ' 1 Want tho Convention.

Dex Moines' delegates left today for Hot Springs, Ark., with Instructions to do all they could to get tho next convention. APPEAL FOR INDEPENDENT VOTE E. C. Pe Thinks Party Politics Haa No Plnce in a City Election, "Party politics has no place in municipal affairs," said Fire and Police Commissioner Page Friday evening In his address to the West Leavenworth Street Improvement club. "The man who votes right In such elec tions aa choose our mayor for us votes for the man, not for what the man's opinion may be upon such subjects as the tariff and the retention of the Philippines. The independent vote as a rule in the local elections is composed of a rather unde sirable class of cltlsens, and they .ihow their wisdom In voting for the man thay want, utterly regardless of hla party affiliations. It la a plun which we could profitably copy." Mr. Page spoke of the beauties of Omaha and the good that is being done by the Improvement organizations and touched upon conditions in . American cities In general and the reasons for the success of the special Interests. The most Insidious form of grafting, according to Mr. Page, Is not the direct money brine, but the Indirect privilege buying through good fellowship, so-called. He vigorously condemned the spoils system of dealing with appointive offices. Councilman Bridges, democratic candidate for sheriff, was called upon and spoke briefly upon the street car situation. FOUND DEAD BESIDE TRACK Victim Evidently Killed -While' Brat Ins; His Way on t'nlon Pnclflo Train. Coroner Bralley went to Valley FYidav and returned in the evening with the body of Charles W. Slocum of Boston or Pi evi dence, who was found dead near the Union pacific tracks in Valley early Friday morn ing. The right side of his head waa crushed in and other minor injuries were found on his body. It la not known how the man met his death, but circumstances tend tp show that he was beating his way on a Union Pacific train and was killed in getting on or off the cars.

I., In 1903, divorced In Boston in lftoB. and married again in Massachusetts this year. A card Indicated that he had at on time been, employed by the California Jockey club.

Loveland, pastor of the First Methodist church, de livered his address on "Fogylsm." He was Introduced to the audience by 3. P. Bailey, state secretary of ths Toung Men's Christian association. Dr. Loveland said the greatest menace to the nation today is the man who Is only mediocre In, his achievements and Is willing to go through life without accom plishing the greatest things of which he ia capable. This, he said, Is more of a menace than anarchy or drunkenness. In the evening Eugene Laurent, tho ma gician, made his flrst appearance at the assembly. His entertainment proved to be extremely popular with the audience. The Chautauqua favorites also helped at the entertainment giving some excellent read ings and musical numbers.

Forgot Something It Un't very often a man of W. H. Strecter's standing is com pelled to get off a passenger train at the flrst station best suited. Such was the case lust Sunday when he left Aurora for a visit up In Wisconsin, the old home. He got as far as Seward and discovered he waa shy the necessary cash to continue hla Journey. Ho got off and telephoned back to his good wife to go to his old trousers and forward to him his cash that he neg lected to take ilong. The cash was 1m medlatly forwarded and the last heard from him he was on his way for the old home. He Intends staying until winter, but It Is thouTht he will be back In about three weeks, his usual allotted time on a trip. Aurora Sun. The Earth's Inhabitants The following clipping from a Michigan paper waa aent to the Bradshaw Republican by Grandma Palmer, who has a warm spot In hor heart for the poor editor because he Is com pelled to have so much to do with that "poor excuse of a man:" "In the begin ning God created the heavens and the earth, then the editor, then the liberal ad vertiser vhlrh was all good. The next day It snowed and He created the man who does not believe In advertising and another who Ui"s not take the home paper and then He rested. And then the devil got Into the molding room and created the man who takes the paper for several years and falls to pay for It. After ho had completed that sorry Job, and having a few lumps le:t, he created the excuse of a man who settles hla subscription by Informing the postmaf ter to mark his paper 'refused.' " Trials of an Editor Yesterday there was fire and brimstone around the Tribune office. It goes without saying that when the able editors have been working hard all day. compiling things the public should know at the earliest possible moment, the thing to do is to go to prsss promptly and disseminate the information. But on this occasion every weak spot In the system disclosed Itself. The big roll of paper which Is supposed to unreel, snapped and snap ped; the column rules kept working up and splitting the sheet; the felt packing on the cylinders lost Its fastenings; the folding apparatus would clog, and everything went awry. Tho struexle continued for four mortal hours. Only one sack of papers got Into theveven1pg mails. It began to ap pear that the news In the paper would be as stale as thut In the morning sheet. Meantime the business office emitted a sound as If a Swiss bell ringer was giving a con-crt. The two telephone systems played a lively duet. Subscribers were wiring notice that the carrier had missed them, when the poor carrier boys were groaning around In the press room, helping o shovel sulphur. 1'mslopagus, tho mlgnty foreman of the press room who has charge of the big piece of machinery, was Trend and gloomy. From his eyes shot blue lightning, and smoke from his nos trils. The religious editor approached him In fear and trembling to hold conversation and ascertain If the edition waa likely to be printed before the end of the week. Ah. tho devil waa to pay, my countryman, and If things went wrong like that very o'.ten suicide would be a very welcome re lief, no matter what cams "ever yonder." Fremont Tribune, TALK WITH ROCKEFELLER Sayi He is Harnessed to Cart in Which the People Bide. PERSECUTION AND PBEXUDICE These, He Thinks, Are Responsible for Attempts to Make Corporations Obey the Law His Interest is Prosperity, (Copyright, 1907, by the Cleveland Flajn Dealer.) CLEVELAND, Aug. 10-John D. Rocke feller, In discussing the recent speech of Judge Grosscup, in which the latter de clared that the wealth of the country was so widely dlstrlbutedhat it was really In the hands of the moderately well-to-do classes, today saldr , "They can hardly accuse Judge Grosscup of partiality to corporations or railroads. He has shown very well, Indeed, how Widespread Is the damage resulting from the persecution through prejudice of the country's transportation lines. The same applies to thoughtless attacks on other lines of Industry. It is worse than thoughtless to say offhand that the wealth and In dustries of the country are In the hands of a few rich men who alone will suffer. There is a direct loss to thousands of frugal people who have Invested small savings In theso enterprises and the indirect effect reaches still other thousands who depend, In one way or another, upon the success of every Industry. The business of the country is interWoven until It Is something like the circulation of the blood In tho body. An Injury or an operation at one point shocks and weakens the whole." Interested In Prosperity. Referring to the financial situation, Mr. Rockefeller said: "Who Is more Interested In the material prosperity of this cotlntry than I im!" "My eggs are not all In one basket by any means. A good deal of nonsense Is printed every now,and then about my having cap tured all the railroads of the country or having monopolized this or that. The truth Is that I figure as an Investor and stock holder rather than as a proprietor. But any depression Is likely to mean a. loss of values to me. The groceryman may not feel It If the coal business Is bad. or the wheat grower suffer if the railroads lose, but the man with wider Interests feels every phase of depression. I do not mean that I am In the grocery, or coal,- or wheat busi ness, but I am using this illusjxat'on. It Is a fact that hardly any sort of business can experience dull times without loss to me. It should be plain, then, that I have the best right to be anxious for good times all around. Would I permit, then, any harm to come to any line of business If I could help It?" Harnessed to a Cart. "I am harnessed to a cart in which the people ride," continued Mr. Rockcfrl'er. "Whether I like It or not I must work for the rest. I cannot evade this respons'bll lty If I would. But I do not complain of this. I am willing to draw my share of the load as long as I am able. "The flrst step I took," he said, "meant obliging myself to working-men who hence forth looked to me for employment and Investors who put In their money and looked to me for results. At 'every step forward the load was heavier. The work Ingmen numbered a few score flrst, then a few hundred, then thousands. There was a similar Increase In the .number of In vestors who would hold me to account. While I worked for myself I had to work for them whether or no. Today, retired from active business, retired, .hat Is, from business for . myself, the capital I have Invested makes work for thousands and opens opportunities for thousands of others to place their savings profitably. No man with money can escape this responsibility or loosen this yoke from his neck. Servants, and Not Masters. "We are servants, and not masters. We who are or have been engaged In largo business affairs. It is to our vital interest that the country prosper, that the people prosper. That they can destroy us or our business, ,or at least destroy our power of serving them. We would probably suffer the least. The richest man can eat but three meals a day and It does not tako a fortune to dress very well Indeed, or to provide real luxury In living. The men who have acquired the largest fortunes have not pursued wealth, but business success. Had they desired money for the enjoyment of money they would have stopped far short of spending their lives, aa they have, In the struggle that Is busi ness. The natural ambition of every man to make good provision for his family can be satisfied far short of the point reached by the big men of the industrial world of today. But they continue to toil at their desks because they love achievement, for the keen delight in creating where nothing was, and some time, I believe, people will bS convinced that they are tolling for love of country aa well." When it comes to the attacks on hlrn and his nssoclates, Mr. Rockefeller shows himself the philosopher. He does not pre tend to like the assaults, nor does ho pretend to haughty Indifference and he Is not affectedly flippant In his comments. But he Is not bitter toward those who assail him. He says It is a misunder standing that will right Itself In time. He frankly regrets it. but he seems even more distressed at what he considers the danger of losing a good opportunity to capture the trade of the world than over the personal phase of the attacks. "We are proud of our national sense of good humor," he remarked. "If we must have little family Jars among ourselves, why should we let the outside world lautrh at our ane;ry face? Why should wo watite the energy we need to build up the country In tearing earh other to pieces? If evils have crept In during the periods of marvelous develop ment since the civil war, and H la net Impossible that some few hsve orept In, can wo not do away with tliem without destroying the whole fabric:? Admitting for the sake of argument, tlmt the busi ness world is a patient that needs treat ment, must It be said of the result th.tt the operation was successful, but the pa tient died?" Mr. Rockefeller was asked why he did not run away from the hue and cry that pursued him. He laughed. "Ferhars because my favorite music Is 'Yankee Doodle," " he suggested. Then, more gravely: "I suppose I might have converted my Interests into cold at one time and have taken my money to England or some pleas snt part of Europe where life Is organized to make things comfortable for the man with money to spend. But, do you know, that way of escape from the responsibilities and embarrassments thut wealth brings to an American never occurred to me. The United States cannot develop enough draw backs to make me lose the feeling that there Is no place like home, and that this Is home. In what I firmly believe la the greatest country of the world."
