Important that seedsmen above all others
do not use liquid measures for the meas
uring out of seeds, bulbs and other kin
dred articles, which on sccount of their
bulklnes soon fill the small liquid meas
ures. Seagal Baxters Beturn The federal
hunting party, consisting of Judge W. H.
Munger, United States Marshal W. P.
Warner and Circuit Clerk George H. Thum-
mel, have returned from a week's outing
south ot Grand Island. The result of tha
hunt was sixteen wild geese. Ducks were
very scarce and there Is a growing scarcity
In wild geese. The scarcity of game Is
attributed to the mild season. The south
ward flight of wild fowl during the pres
ent season has been very tight, but more
or less continuous. The mild weather has
permitted the fowls to make their mlgra-
toory flights at a high altitude, and con
sequently fewer of them have alighted along
the Platte and Republican rivers than for
a number of yeara. The hunters Insist they
violated no laws.
DO YOU WANT TO BE GOVERNOR?
Job Mar Get Bfftglnac Darlnsc Week of
Republican National Con
vention. Do you want to be governor of Nebraaka
for a week? The, Job may go begging lor
the week of the republican national con
vention In Chicago.
Governor Sheldon, Lieutenant Governor
Hopewell and Charles L. Saunders, presi
dent of the senate, probably will attend the
convention, the first as a delegate-at-large,
the second ss his alternate and the third
as a high private. The law provides that
the next In line for governor Is the speaker
of the house of representatives. That
means that Uncle Dan Nettleton of Fair
field can have the Job If he wants It.
Speaker Nettleton may prefer to attend
the convention, If so the governor's chair
would be vacant, for the lawa of Nebraska
make no further provision for Its tempor
ary Incumbency, and here la where tho
anomalous situation arises.
Governor Sheldon hss gone to Washing
ton, D. C, on business and when he returns
It will be about time for his official trip to
tha Paolfio coast to present the silver
service of the state to the battleship Ne
braaka, and he will have to go back to
Washington on another Viatter of business
on his return from the coast, so that he
will not be In his office much more from
now until June. Lieutenant Governor
Hopewell la now acting governor and will
be at tho time the convention Is called, but
as he Is the governor's alternate he will,
probably, go to the convention and Senator
Saundera has applied for tickets. Unless
the president ot the senate decides the nov
elty of being governor for a week Is not
more tempting than attending the conven
tion, the governor Job will fall to the lot
of Speaker Nettleton. It Isn't certain that
the speaker will not want to go to Chicago.
CANDY NOT CAUSE OF DEATH
Poison la gtomaveh, bat Box Dies
f WaJklagT Pneamoala, Bays
Dr. Lavender.
Coroner's Physician W. R. Lavender ex
amined the contents of the stomach of
Carl A. Pearson, who died suddenly Sat
urday afternoon, presumably from eating
some cheap candy. He said there was not
the least trace of poison. The boy came
to his death through a case of "walking
pneumonia" aggravated by acute gastritis.
I "I found one lung entirely 'congested and
"the other about three-fourths congested,''
said Dr Lavender. "The: boy actually suf
focated to death. The condition was ag
gravated by a case of Indigestion, and this
was probably further aggravated by the
eating of the candy.
"The pure food commission ought to look
Into this cheap candy. I placed one of the
nigger babies' In a solution which is more
powerful than the acids of the stomach, but
the candy remained entirely undissolved. It
is undlgestible."
The funeral of the boy was held from
his late home, 818 South Twenty-fifth
street, Monday afternoon, with interment
In Laurel Hill cemetery.,

EXCHANGE TO URGE BONDS
Realty Men Will Ask Council to Boost
Power Flint
WANT QUESTION PUT TO VOTE
Aaalone to Have It Suhaalttedl
to the People la May Ho that
a Early Decision May
Re Had.
Without waiting tor further discussion
the power canal committee of the Omaha
Real Estate exchange will urge upon the
city council the necessity of submitting the
question of voting the 16.000,000 of municipal
bonds st the May election.
The real estate dealers probably will ap
pear before the council Tuesday evening
and put the proposition up to that body In
a simple way.
President W. T. Grahsm of the exchange
said:
"This Is no real estate scheme and we
hope If It means anything it will mean
cheaper power for Omaha, which Is the
surest way of securing the population we
desire and the various Industries which
are now waiting to come to Omaha.
"There is no reason why the submitting
ot the question of floating the bonds ahould
be postponed until further estimatea of
cost have been made. We know the de
sired plant and canal can be Installed for
something less than SS.000,000, but that
$5,000,000 will cover all possible expensea.
We have given the subject full Investiga
tion.
'It would be proper to get further esti
mates under different circumstances, but
this preliminary work has all been done
and pair for. Certain citizens of Omaha
expended $10,000 f'fteen years ago for es
timates of cost and opinions from hydraulic
engineers on the Seymour park canal
scheme. The surveys were made by Howell
ft Black and the experts who passed upon
the matter were J. T. Jannlng of Minne
apolis, Donald Campbell of Denver and
Andrew Rosewater of Omaha. The eatlmates
for ths cost ot that canal were leas than
$4,000,000.
"The Fremont people have expended
some $30,000 In surveys and for expert opin
ions from engineers. Their estimates of
cost were less than $4,000,000, which Included
two large reservoirs and , the transmission
line to Omaha. Some $100,000 haa been ex
pended in surveys and engineers' reports
on the Columbus project. Of the four dif
ferent engineering estimates the highest
cost was placed at $4,600,000, which Included
oopper at 25 cents per pound and many
other items which have since become
cheaper."
BIG MAN CRIES OVER BOYS
Tells Jadfe He Cannot Forsake Lit
tle Chasts Evea If They
Da En.
When Antone Kellner, a 200-pound ex
press wagon driver, broke down and cried
In Juvenile court Monday morning Judge
Lee Estelle ordered his two boys, Frank
and Philip, to go hence, attend school and
be good boys and report once a week.
Frank, so his school teacher said, would
not attend school and Philip, much younger,
lie feared had the same Ideas about play
ing truant and he asked the court to take
some action. It was brought out at the
hearing that Frank was fond of hunting
and fishing and though his father and
mother frequently deposited him at the
school house he always managed to get
away to some creek bank. .Recently, It was
charged, the little fellow.-acting under ad
vice from an older .bow forged a check
for $8, which ha succeeded in getting
cashed. The father paid, the check.
When It came to , making a decision
Judge Estelle asked the father what he
thought about it. '
"I waa a bad boy myself and liked to
hunt and fish better than to attend school,"
replied the father, "and I guess the boy
gets It from me. You know an apple never
falls very far from the tree. I want the
boy to go te school, but Judge, I can't go
back on my boys. I have eight children
and I work hard and It Is hard for me te
herd them." "
And then he cried.
The War department ot the United States
believes and has officially stated that
Uncle Sam's soldiers should be permitted

it will curtail the sale of ardent spirits to

nile court giving them possession of Oknr

child and, falling to get him, they wanted
Whisler to pay them the sum ot $13.50 for
keeping the little fellow since Christina
day. They alleged the Whlslers were not
the proper people to care for the child.
Judge Estelle permitted the Matters to kop
the little one until he had Investigated ths
home of tha Whlslers, at the same time
saying the Whlslers should pay the Matt
ers for keeping the child.
Lined up with the Whlalers were Mis.

room by Mrs. Mauer and he cried until

Mrs. Mauer pleaded for the child becau&k
she loved him, she aald, and because Mrs.
Whisler had been out on the street with a
soldier and had gone to Crelghton dance
hall without her husband. Charlie Whisler
had not told her the truth, ahe aald, and
when questioned closely said he had falsi
fied about the money he made. He had
brought her the child and asked her to
keep him when he and Mrs. Whisler sepa
rated after the soldier episode. Neighbors
of Mrs. Whisler said she and her husband
were now living together and getting along
nicely, Whisler . being employed by the
street car company.
Judge Estelle delivered a severe lecture
to Mrs. Whisler regarding her duties to the
child and her husband and wound up the
