HIE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1907. i. The Creator of Fashions for Women of Fashion in America N Writes a letter every month full of fashion's news and illustrated by several of her latest creations. This woman, Josefa Neilson Osborn, is the greatest individual fashion authority in this country. You will find her September letter in THE DELINEATOR, and nowhere else From Paris Six Fashion Experts and Artists Paris-born and living daily the life of Paris, axe every day sending fashion's latest word by letter and cable, with photographs and illustrations, two and three hun dred a month, to the greatest fashion publication in America. These experts are always in touch with the great fashion creators and autocrats of style in Paris ; and it is this constant daily connection through more than one observer that assures the priority and correctness of information of this great fashion publication. A month- long visit twice a year by even the cleverest buyer from America is a poor substitute for such services. You can secure these services, unsurpassed in the fashion vorld,for One Dollar per year in THE DELINEATOR, and nowhere else. There is a Salesroom To which millions of fashions, developed in New York, are shipped and sold to Parisian women. This salesroom is the Paris Home of Butter ick Fashions and the French Edition of THE DELINEATOR, which has the largest circulation ofNany magazine of its kind in France. This is the tribute of sParis to the preeminence of Butterick. Other fashion establishments may purchase ideas in Paris. Butterick alone, both purchases and sells and the selling proves the worth of the purchase. There is no fashion authority so great as The D Getthe September Issue To-day 15 Cent a Cop y--$ 1.00 a Year From the newsdealer or any butterick agent, or THE BUTTERICK BeHerick Building OBERG SENT TO HOSPITAL M'crrr Over - Fallare ta Get TkrnKk Lesjtalatara Caasea -' His Daraaarcaaeat.

ALL BALLOTS NOT THE' SAME Blank Line to Write in Names Pro vided in Some Countiei. CHANGE OF FRONT IN GRAIN BATE Wkitr Naw Declare the Small Crruirrlrt slonera Inspecting" Mla aoarl PaclSc. LINCOLN, Aug. 14.-(8pclal.)-The pri mary ballot will not be the same In the various counties of the state. In some coun ties there will be left a blan kllne upon which voters may register their preferanr-e for persons not on the ballot, while on other balims there will be no blank lines and the voters must choose between the names filed as candidates. In Dojglas county there will be no blank lln upon whlclvthe voter may write In his preference, so the county clerk telephoned to the secretary of state this morning. The sample ballots sent out con tain blank lines, but Secretary Junkln noti fied the clerks It Is optional with therrjj whether to print blank lines on tne primary ballots. Numerous inquiries were received by the secretary regarding the blank lines and an appeal to the legal department brought forth a verbal opinion from Deputy Mar tin that the primary law provided how nominations were to be made and how con- dldatea could get their names on the ticket. There waa nothing In the law, he said, to Indicate that it would be legal for anyone to write the name of a candidate. He sug gested, however, to the secretary of state to allow the county clerks to do as they pleased and then the matter of nominations could be settled In the courts. If a voter had the right to Insert the name of a man not on the ballot, where there was no oppo sition, which Is the case In the candidates for one office in his county, a democrat could write in the name of the republican candidate on the democratic ticket and this republican by one vote would become the o.nriirlate for the entire democratic party. Or the reverse is true. He objects to allow ing one voter to name the candidate of the party and he believes the primary law provides against this by defining how nom lnatlona are to be made and how the names are to be placed on the ticket. r h nther hand out in jvnox mmm the candidate who filed for district clerk has become deceased since the ballots were printed. Mr. Junkln holds If the county clerks look at the law with the same eyes used by Mr. Martin they will have no way to nominate a candidate. Mr. Junkln holds candidate can only be nominated in mi county by the voters writing in the name of a candidate to go on the ticket this fall. It Is because of tlvese different opinions the county clerks will Vise their discretion In getting up a ballot, And candidates who are not satisfied with the outcome nave tncir recourse in the courts. OIncldentally Mi Martin is of the opin ion, speaking offhand, that It is permlssable to write In the names of candidates, the person who inserts In a name as a candi date for railway commissioner "to fill va cancy'" will get on the republican ticket thla fall providing hla name Is written In the republican column. He Is of this opin ion because no one has filed to fill the va cancy on the railway commission, though three republicans have filed as candidates for railway .commissioner. The proclama tion calls for the election of a person to fill vacanoy." Webster Chanarea Front. B. C. Webster, chief of the dairy division of the Agricultural department at Wash ington, has gone on record two different ways before the State Railway commission In the matter of cream rates in Nebraska. During the taking of testimony Attorney Halner for the central creameries In Ne braska, Insofar as the producer ia con cerned, la much better than a local cream ery. Today B. D. White of the division presided over by Mr. Webster, who had testified to the reverse, filed with the com mission a telegram he received from Mr. Webster In answer to General Manager Haskell of the Beatrice Creamery company. In this telegram Mr. Webster endorses the co-operative creamery. The matter filed by Mr. White Is as follows: It asmuch as the centrallvers have seen fit to Introduce Mr. Webster's bulletin at the hearing just closed, I herewith beg leave to submit a copy of a telegram re ceived from Mr. Webster without my soli citation: "WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 1907. D. B. White, Lincoln, Neb.: Here Is a copy of the telegram from Haskell and my reply; moke public If It will do any good. Do you recommend the promotion and estab lishment of co-operative creameries In Ne braska, as a general proposition, under present conditions, as you understand themT Would you favor practically doub ling present railroad cream rates to crip ple centrallsers and establish and building co-operative plants; your representative, who la a witness for the rallroaiis on this proposition, so testified. Answer my ex pense. (Signed.) HABKELU" My reply: "Under many conditions in Nebraska, as elsewhere, the co-operative creamery will best build up the farms ard the farm homes. This greater prosperity is shared by the merchant and the transportation ' companies. Where the a-eneml ra f freight transportation are used, giving no discrimination to either the co-operatives or centralised creamery, each stands on its own bottom and that plan will generally aurvlve which is beat suited to the conrtl lions. teigneaj WEBSTER." I also wish to call your attention to the cost of manufacture, shipping and market ing of butter. For example, let us take 100 pounds of butterfat, which will make 126 pounds of butter. It us assume for sim plicity that It will sell on the New York market at 26 cents per pound. This will make 131.25. The cost of making and mar keting are as follows: Agent in country , ft oo Express 75 Manufacturing j 00 menage ay Incidentals ' 'a Freight to New Tork 110 Commission j jr Total Or. In other words. It will cost 16.86 for 100 pounds of butter; deducting this amount from $31 26. we have left IJ6.40. which Is the amount in hand. The difference be tween this and the amount paid patrons is profit. It may be possible that ft costs a trifle more than three-fourths of a cent per pound for express. In fact, I rave always allowed 1 cent per pound for the transportation of cream, but since I learned of the exceedingly low rates, which "l ' 10 me general public, I be ofYbuttert at" "0t COt 1 C P"" pound fv lo considered that the butter would not sell for more than market price, while all fancy butter la selling for at least I cents per pound above the market price. I have also allowed 6 per cent com mission for the selling of butter, which we all know is not paid. I believe the above la a fair and equitable way of figuring thla proposition. Yours, very truly. D. B. WHITE. Iaapeetlag MUeoarl Paelne. The members of the State Railway com mission clothed themselves In mystery and a few other garments this morning and made a back alley run to the Missouri Paclflo tracks, which they will personally Inspect In an automobile as far as Weeping Water to view with their own eyes the thirty-two places which were recently photographed and the photographs filed with tha commission. These photographs showed the track to be In a terrible con dition and the commission wants to see with Us own eyea what there la to see. tat Manas- for Banks, Another batch of banks received money from the state treasurer today and became atate depositories by agreeing to pay I per cent Interest and putting up a suf ficient bond. The banks and the amount they received were aa follows: City bank of Bpauldlng, 12.600; First National bank of Spaulding. HOOD; Craig Bute baa, P.M0; Bank of Commerce, Hastings, $5,000. The money was withdrawn from the following banks, which refused to atand for the I per cent Interest demanded by the treas urer: Ord State bank, $5,000; Commercial State bank of Grand Island, $4,000; First National bank of Crete, $6,000. Oaards Drill at Beach. While no official order has been Issued ahowlng that the encampment of the First regiment, Nebraska Natlonat Guard, la merely a aide Issue to Capital Beach, a pleasure resort near this city, numerous visitors have been attracted to the Beach because the encampment Is right at the Beach and because the soldiers last night drilled In the enclosed grounds. But those who watched the drilling and who watched the battle had to pay only S cents. This waa the entrance fee to the park last night, an increase from 10 cents, the usual fee. The grouch expressed by several la this: The state is paying the members of the National Ouard to go Into camp, and now the people have to pay the proprietors of Capital Beach to see them drill. Colonel Hartlngotn of the Second regiment la still at a loss where to find sufficient ground to have battalion drill In his regi ment. Up to the present time no drill, ex cept that held by the different companies, has been gone through, but Colonel Hart Ington said this afternoon that he expected to hold regimental parade this evening on the grounds just west of the camp. The grounds would be much too small, he said, but by closing the Intervals between the companies he believed the parade could be held. In spite of the crowded quarters the men are drilling well at Camp Robert A. Clapp, and Colonel Hartlngton Is well pleased with the drill put up by the men. Most of the men In the regiment are new at the work and the colonel haa not enforced much hard drill aa yet, but since the men are now be coming used to their surroundings and get ting restless he expects to have all the drill he can In the crowded quarters. ThelSecond regiment has a band at their camp and It is not afraid to allow the mem-J bers of the regiment to know that It is present. Colonel Jenkins of the quartermaster's department waa somewhat surprised today when he waa called upon by the quarter master of the First regiment at Capital Beaoh to furnish additional water for the camp. Manager Buckstaff had promised the adjutant general that he would furnish 60,000 gallons of water per day for the camp, but this amount haa been exhausted and the eamp is needing more water. The water which the men are getting la good, but there is a shortage of several thousand gal lons. Colonel Jenkins said this morning that wells might be sunk at the beach-, but he thought the water would be hauled out. If the water Is hauled out It will cost more than $20 a per but tne officers think that since the camp will only last a few days it will be cheaper to haul the water than to sink wells. Major Mack of this city was appointed coach of the rifle team of the Nebraska Rational Guard today and Major Phelps was appointed "spotter." They will accom pany the team next week on Its trip to Camp Perry, la., where the national prac tice meet will be held. Book Store for Students. In accordance with a law passed by the legislature last winter providing that the Board of -Regents should sell books to the university students at cost price an execu tive committee was appointed today to establish a regents' book store. The com mittee, consisting of Members Ernst, Allen, and Abbott, will secure a atore building and buy the text books at wholesale, selling them as cheaply as poaslble. Insane Man la Camp. Great excitement prevailed at Capital beach this morning, - when Frank. Dthart. a man supposed to '-belong at Plymouth, Neb., began tearing off his clothes and throwing them Into the lake. Fairly raving and running ' naked about . the beaoh grounds, the man was after some difficulty captured and forced into some old clothes. Sheriff Ress was sent' for and the Insane man waa brought to Lincoln on a trolley. At the county jail, where he was placed for .safe keeping, Dthart butted hla head against the atone walla and attempted to do himself violence until he was strapped to a chair. The sheriff this afternoon tele phoned to Plymouth to find out what to do with the man. 1 NKBKA9KA MAN IN HARD LUCK Cats Hla Head ta Dlvlna; and Breaks a Vm Roller Skat In a;.

IKVEJtTEEV PF.RIIt IX ELKHORN Remarkable List of Fatalities In North Nebraska River. NORFOLK. Neb., Aug. H. (Special. Seventeen persons have perished In the waters of northern Nebraska and Gregory county, South Dakota, during the present season the largest number ever known for one summer. A peculiar feature of the continuous series of tragedies Is that these deaths sem to run In Inexplicable sequence During the last two weeks eight per sons, during the last five days six people have thus lost their -lives near Norfolk. A remarkable coincidence seems to have made six of these eight drownings within a fortnight come In pairs." At Nellgh, two weeks ago, a young woman drowned; within twenty-four hours a young man drowned In the same Elkhorn, and only a few miles up stream. Grappling hooks were used first for one search and then for another. Last week two people, William Elliott and his wife, were drowned together at Center. Two days later a double drown ing occurred at Wlsner a young man , swimming waa drowned one afternoon and In less than twenty-four hours another boy. had perished near the same spot. And almost simultaneously a babe drowned at Newman Grove and a young man at O'Neill. Victims of the week were: William El liott and wife, Center; the child of August Schukey, Newman Grove; Lewis Sullivan, aged 11, O'Neill; Jens Moll and a son of O. D. Beemer, Wlsner. The Beemcr boy's body haa not been found. Two of these drownings were peculiarly tragic. At Nellgh Miss Anna Thelssen was returning home from a carnival with her sister and a young man. Th horse, frightened, backed oft a bridge 'through the railing and dropped the occupants fifteen feet Into the water. The young man saved one girl and almost rescued the other, when she was kicked by the horse. At Center, William Elliott and wife, accompanied by their daughter, Ina, and Mrs. Elliott's sister. Mrs. Franse, drove into a washout. Mrs. Franse floated on the overturned wagon box. The girl climbed Into a treetop that she washed against. The man and wife perished. CHRISTIAN INDIANS ARE TO MEET Preparations Reins; Made to Entertain 11,400 Delegates. VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. 14. (Special.) Extensive arrangements are being made for the annual convocation of the Chris tian Indians of the Niobrara deanery of the Episcopal church of South Dakota, to be held at Trinity chapel, the beautiful stone church on Antelope creek, called "the silent guardian of the prairie." The convocation will be held for five days, com mencing August 23 and closing August 128. Antelope creek, the place of meeting. Is between the two large government board ing schools and about half a mile from St. Mary's school, an Episcopal school for Indian girls on the Rosebud reservation. The committees are making preparations to care for at least 2,400 delegates, clergy and laymen.
