After the oppressive humidity of Thurs day a storm blew up and black clouds aross In tho west. They proceeded toward the north for a while and It seemed Omaha would be left with. Its dust and heat. About 7 o'clock the clouds spread over the sky, the wind rose to a gale and then the rain leu. The northern part of the city got a heavy drenching. The gutters . ran with water and the thick dust was turned to thin mud. South of Leavenworth street there wasn't enough precipitation to men tion. . However, the storm cooled the air. The temperature at noon Friday was 64, com pared with 84 at noon Thursday. A similar lowness of temperature was evident all through the day and the indications are that It will continue.

"Billy the Bear." has ar rived In Omaha on nls return from the na tional convention of the Egles at James town. "That exposition Is the biggest fraud of the century." said Billy.' "I can see no possibility of Its becoming a success. Many of. the buildings are still unfinished and no effort Is being made to finish them. "Yes, I got knocked out ns national sec retary of the Kngles. Some of the Nebraska del-gatlon knocked on me, claiming that 1 was physically unable to do the work. That hurt me more than the defeat for the office. It comes mighty hard to bar a crip pled .man from work that he could do and I guess almost every person In Nebraska knows that I have done pretty well with my flngerless hands and being shy a pair of feet toward making a pretty good living. "I am going back to Chadron and get back Into mv old work and will try for the place again next year. It Is pretty hard for a westerner to get an office In these big national conventions that are dominated by the eastern fellows. I am not sore on account of my defeat, but I do feel a little hurt that my condition should be used against me by men who I thought were my friends." "I am getting a fine piano, rent free," said one citizen. "Te'l me about It," said the other. "Well, you know the assessor Is abroad In the land and the stores have to pay pretty heavy taxes on pianos when they are caught with the goods. One of these stores has been after me for months to buy a piano and I have refused; I didn't even want to try one, for I knew I wouldn't buy It. Yesterday they telephoned my wife they were going to bring It; and they brought it. Didn't say anything about sell ing It to us and didn't even mention a price. Now, I figure they thought the assessor was about due and It would be a good time to move a few pianos. The cost of moving a plar.o would be as much as the taxes, but you seo the store would be out the money anyway, if the assessor found the piano, and ' they thought they had Just as well spend It by giving somebody a trial and perhaps catch a customer." "Raised bank notes do not get Into cir culation very much these days, as the peo ple are getting too sharp for the note rais ers," said a secret service official. "I had a funny experience over In Des Moines the other day. Having heard that some raised notes were In circulation there I went over to see about them. I found that the notes had been sold to a pawnbroker to place on exhibition In his window. I found the fel low and had no other recourse than to take the raised notes. And then he did raise a howl. He wanted to know how he was going to get his money back that he paid for them. I told him he would have to look to the parties from whom he bought them. But when I told hm I was a secret service officer he gave the notes up readily, but he looked as If It was going to break his heart" A wild-oyed man with upstanding hair rushed Into the office of Chief of Police Donahue Friday morning and shouted for immediate aid. "What's wrong?" asked the chief. "Look here," said the man. "I'm George Morris of Waterloo, and I want you to ar rest the man who runs the elevator out here right away. Tou won't need no war rant. Why, Its outrageous! I stepped into his elevator In perfect good faith Just a minute ago and what do you think he did?" He stopped, out of breath and speechless with Indignation. "Well." said the chief. "Why, he took me up five stories so fast that I couldn't get my breath and we nearly bumped Into the roof before he could stop his dod gasted machine." "Were you hurtT" asked the chief. "No, I wasn't but holy smoke, I might have been." Mr. Morris confessed that he had never been In an elevator before in his life and the sudden shock was too much for his nerves. He declared his Intention of going to Police Magistrate Crawford and filing a complaint against George Whltmore, one of the elevator conductors In the city hall, for fast and reckless driving. "And I won't go down In the elevator; either," he said as he departed. "I'll go down the outside ladder before I take that risk again." "These Omaha boys who used to be easy for me can now beat me with one hand tied behind them," said John Francis of Chicago, -general passenger agent of the Burlington, who has been In Omaha for the last few days, spending his vacation playing golf with some of his old friends. The reason Is apparent. They get a chance to practice where I do not. This thing of living In Chicago is not what It ts cracked up to be. Give me Omaha for mine. The distances are such In Chicago that It Is out of the question for a man to get off to play golf any day but Saturday afternoon. Here in Omaha a man could work at his desk until 6 o'clock and then have plenty of time to play nine or fifteen holes before the sun disappeared. Omaha Is the place to live after all." "I have mado up my mind that the resi dents of Ersklne street have earned the right to have this street perpetuate the memory of President Roosevelt from their practical endorsement of his anti-race sul culde Ideas," said City Clerk Butler. "I have watched the mstter for months and no other si see t In town reports as many births In a month as Ersklne street. You may pick up the paper each afternoon and you can count on finding that some family on this street has added to the population of Omaha. You may miss It some day, but on the next one there will be two births recorded. Ersklne must be msde Roosevelt street and I'm going to see that it is done If there are enough members of the council who realise the importance of the subject dear to the heart of the chief executive.

Burkett, who Is In Omaha for a two days' Inspection of the military posts, Forts Crook and Omaha. "We haven't paid much ottentlon in the United States to river Improvement, for we are a new country and have first to de velop our harbors. But now we have come to the point where transportation In the Interior Is a big problem and we must grasp the opportunities afforded by our waterways. Water transportation la cheaper than rail transportation and the competi tion resulting between rail and water is wholesome for the shipping Interests of tho country. "Once Omaha saw steamboats plying up and down the Missouri continuously. The river has not less water In It than it had then, but other lniluences drove me Doaia out of business. The river may not be so good as It was then, for channels fill up with snags and sandbars When not In use, while a constant movement of boats actu ally keeps a river open. The Missouri now needs considerable work on It to clean It out. "I believe navigation will be resumed or the river. As to when and how I am n.i prepared to say. It hus been suggested to me that It would be cheaper to build a canal along the river than It would to kee-p the channel dredged out. It would re quire engineers to pass on that. Time Not Far Away. "At any rate, It will bo opened somehow and the time probably Is not far away. The north and south traffic of the country Is growing smailngly and we need the river." Senator Burkett arrived In Omaha at o'clock Friday morning and wa.i met at the station by Victor Rosewater and Chair man C. E. Black of the entertainment com mittee of the Commercial club. In com pany with Mr. Black he visited the Indian supply depot and the headquarters of the Department of the Missouri and then went with Major Cruse and Captain Hacker to the quartermaster's depot. This afternoon he is visiting Fort Omaha with Senator Millard and Major Noyes and tomorrow he will inspect Fort Crook. Senator Burkett was the guest of honor at a luncheon at the Commercial club, at which about thirty representative Omaha citizens were present. Those at the banquet were: Senator Burkett. , F. P.
