Danger On Friday when the alough was
up, owing to the late rains, a dumber
town boys were swimming down south of
the city. Tbey would swim down in ths
strong current and then run up on the
bank. One of the boys had a fish spear
along and he threw It down In the grass
and as Charlie Hoops ran up along the
bank he struck his right foot sgalnat one
of tha prongs of the spear and ran It Into
hla foot over an Inch, going In Just under
the small toe. The spear could not be
pulled out owing to the barb on It and he
could not be moved owing to tha long
spear, so that all that could be done was
to wait until Dr. Corbin could be aon
after and -return. When he doctor arrived
he filed the prong off and then cut It out
of the foot, which waa a painful operation.
It made a bad wound. The carelessness in
thus leaving a fish spear lay la what needs
strong comment. Schuyler Free Lance.

MRS. DAHLMAN GETS IN PRINT
Wife of Mayor Boost for Bryan and
Jim at Denver.
SAYS AIL STATE IS FOE W. J.
"At Least, that Is What Mr. Da hi.
Says, and I Gaeaa He Oagkt
te Knew," Asserts the
. Omaha Womaa.
Ever friendly newspsper writers In Den
ver are msklng an effort to assist -Mrs.
James C. Dahlman to keep up with Mayor
Jim In the world of democratic politics at
Denver. But from all IndJcatlona Mra.
Dahlman, while a good booate will not be
able to get within flagging distance of her
cowboy huaband when It comes to making
the Tiger scratch or the democratic donkey
kick by giving out newspaper Interviews.
Interviewed by the Chlesgo Tribune and
her carefully weighed worde wired over
1,000 miles they they might appear In the
newa aectlons of the Sunday morning paper,
Mra Dahlman la quoted as saying:
"Everybody In Nebraska Is for Bryan
and I can tell you there is nothing small
about htm.
"Mr. Dahlman says he la a big man with
a big B, and I gueas he ought to know, as
he has been In politics with Mr. Bryan for
eighteen years.
"Anyone who knows Mr. Bryan couldn't
help but like him not evenhls enemies
and no one can resist his sweet, gentle
nature and his kindly, but brosd, msnly
ways."
Thinks Jim Is a gaccess.
Up to this time Mrs. Dahlman had not
read the unkind and even bitter remarks
which the "sweet-dlsposltloned" Bryan had
said about Ouffey of Pennsylvania, but
Mra. Dahlman went on to say, as quoted
by the Chicago Tribune:
"I don't pay much attention to politics.
I leave all that to Mr. Dahlman, and I
think he has had success enough for the
whole family.
"When I talk on subjects I am familiar
with I am positive enough, but I hesitate
to expreas myaelf on things which are out
of my line.
"Mr. Dahlman has been to four conven
tions with Mr. Bryan, and I think he
hould know his characteristics pretty
well.
"But I have frequently seen and met Mr.
Bryan, and I think she Is a lovely char
acter. She la an excellent housewife and a
fine companion for her husband In every
way. Aside from being a good wife, Mrs.
Bryan was a devoted daughter. For years
her father lived with her until bis death a
few years ago.
'Mrs. Bryan Is dlnlfled In a manner which
makes her handsome, and to my mind that
Is better than being merely pretty.
Bryan Girls 'Clever.'
She is fond of her children, and her
daughter Ruth (now Mrs. Leavltt) is a
brlgth girl and most interesting. She has
lot of ability for whatever line she may
choose to follow. She writes some, but Is
till too young to have won her way to
fame.
I am a lover of young people mlaelf.
nd we are much la touch with them our
home haa always been open to young peo
ple. One of my daughters went to school
with Ruth Bryan at Montlcello. Grace,
Bryan is still young, being only 15 years
old, and she is In school In Virginia.
"Four or five years ago Mr. Bryan built
larse end beautiful home In the suburbs
of Lincoln, and It is handsomely furnished.
During their recent travels abroad the
family secured and brought home many
treasures. Including some particularly in
teresting ware from, Japan.. They also
brought hu lie many costly and beautiful
gifts from prominent people In the lands
they vllled
'So tan us woman's suffrage In Ne
braska U concerned, I do not pose as an
authority, but I know this: The women of
the state through their clubs, have done
much to bring about civic beauty, and
every successful reform movement had Its
beginning In the enthusiastic energy of the
women."
STORM FOLLOWS HOT DAY
Wind, Rain and Rati Are' Accom

After an unusually aultry day Omaha waa
blessed Sunday night with a heavy rain
which cooled the air and aettled what lit
tle dust the fine "Fourth of July weather"
had been piling up In the streets,
The day's highest temperature waa reached
about t o'clock, when the mercury stood at
W. Two hours later It had dropped only 2
degrees, but by 4 o'clock the storm had ar
rived, and between S and t the mark was
M, a drop of O degrees.
The storm looked for a while as if It
might be something quits different from
pleasant, as the clouds In the south and
west were black and threatening and ap
peared for some time to be hanging stat
ionary except for little whirlwinds which
drove some of the lighter ones about. The
northwestern sky was smooth and green
which suggested wind and hail, both of
which materialised later. Thunder and
lightning were discomforting.
Scarcely any damage was reported, al
though the heavy rainfall tied up the car
service for short Intervals during the early
part of the evening. At Twenty-fourth and
Farnam streets a pole supporting trolley
wires wss blown down, but the damage
was soon repaired. There waa alao an en
tanglement among tha wires at Sixteenth
and Cuming which waa made right with
out much trouble. Telephones all over the
city kept Jumping and sparking during the
first part of the storm when the lightning
was heavy, but no lines were put out of
commission seriously. The rain continued
until past midnight, although ths wind and
hall, which began about 1:30, had ceased by
curfew time.

of the week Is "Harlequin's Love," which
tells the story of how two dolls were
brought to lify and much blessed after a
number of thrilling adventures. It la a
really fine bit of picture drama and ought
to be of great Interest to the children as

Interesting pictures are shown, 'with an

CRANE COMES TO SEE TAFT
Vanarnard of Coterie of Republican
Leaders Reached Hot Spring's
Yesterday.
HOT SPRINGS, Va.. July 6Senator
Murray Crane and Representative Law
rence of Massachusetts, arrived here today
and are the vanguard of the coterie of poli
tical leaders who will confer with William
H. Taft, the republican nominee for presi
dent, on political matters, especially on the
question of selecting a chairman and trets-
urer for the republican national committee
before the meeting of the national execu
tive committee next Wednesday.
Mr. Taft atated today that Senator Beve-
rldge and Repreaentatlve McKlnley of Illi
nois will be here tomorrow and Senator
Hemenway of Indiana a,nd Representatlva
Watson of the same state Wednesday.
None of these leadera of the party :s a
member of the executive committee, so
that their suggestions and advice will be
given before the meeting of the men who
are charged with the selection of a chair
man and the determination of other Im
portant matters concerning the coming
campaign. The action of Mr. Taft in call
ing upon prominent republicans to confer
with him Is In line with' his statement to
day to the effect that n would bring in
many leaders of the party for conferences
from time to time. He has 'Invited Repre
sentative Cooper of Wisconsin to Join the
little gathering here, but Up to today he
had not received a reply.
The names of all these leaders suggest
to those who are familiar with matters po
litical special reason why the suggestions
of each of them are desired. They are all
either the friends of leading candidates for
the nomination for the presidency who were
defeated by Mr. Taft or are from states
in which the political conditions call for
rspeclal consideration. The chairmanship
Is only one of the matters to be considered
by them, aa waa shown today by the broad
range of discussion between Mr. Taft and
Mr. Crane. Their discussion of affairs
of the party ranged over the entire matter
of the conduct of the campaign.

TOKIO, July. The elder statesmen have
been summoned to meet July 7, when the
political situation growing out of the
resignation of the cabinet will be considers J.
At a meeting of the leaders of the Selyulkl
party todny a split developed, but It is not
consdered serious enough to prevent Mar
quis BaolnJI from delivering sufficient votes
to guarantee a majority for Marquis Kat
sura as premier of the new cabinet to be
formed.
A new danger In the situation appears to
be that the Illness of Marquis SaoinJI may
make It possible for the leadership of an
other who will be unable to control a ma
jority. The situation haa developed an interest
ing struggle between the Yamagata faction
and Prince Ito, who strongly favors the
Selyulkl party. In the Meanwhile Count
Admiral Yamagata and Baron Terauchl.
the latter a strong Selyulkl party man, have
not given up hope that the failure of Mar

By a service, simple but Impressive, the
Second Tresbyterlan church and the Knox
Presbyterian churches ceased to exist and
new church, the North Presbyterian, waa
created Sunday. The union of the two
churchea was consummated at the meeting
of the two congregations at the Second
Presbyterian at 4 p. m., when Dr. W. 8.
Fulton, in the nam; of the presbytery, de
clared the old congregational organizations
at an end and the new one in full power.
Then followed the installation of the mem
bers of the session of the new church, eight
from each of the old congregations. A
fellowship meeting was held last night at
Calvary liaptist church.
It waa fitting that the first act of the
new congregation was an act of practical
charity. A collection was taken for a fam

meager Income and the mother Buffering

Yesterday morning the last services were

"Now In behalf of presbytery," he said,
at the conclusion of the reading, "and -in
obedience to Its commands, I declare that
you who formerly were members of Second
Presbyterian and Knox Presbyterian
churches of Omaha 'are now members of
North Presbyterian church. of Omaha, and
aa such the session is -authorized to enroll

Dr. Fulton cornmended the consolidation.
"It seems to me," he said, "that there Is

the presence of numbers there la always
enthusiasm and power. More efficient work
can be done under the stimulation of large
numbers. I hope great things for this
North Presbyterian church, and I expect
great things from you. I count It a privi
lege to have been with you at thla time."
Installation ot Session.
Following the brief address of Dr. Fulton,
Rev. Mr. Hlgbee read the service for the
Installation of the members of the session
and, while the congregation stood, declared
them Installed. This service marked the
beginning of the new church.
The first service to be held by the con
solidated congregation was the administra
tion of the Lord's supper by Rev. Mr. Bur
dlck. Preceding It Mr. Burdlck spoke
briefly and feelingly.
"If the sacrament of the Lord's supper
typifies anytl.lne," he said, "It typifies
unity, rind I think some such thought as
this comes to our mlndx at thin time. These
two churchea led, they believe, by the spirit
of Qod. have decided to Join, believing tint
by Joining tha greatest possible efficiency
shall be realized. The urlon must not be
merely formal if It Is to succeed; It must
be a union of the heart. Thla may be
difficult, for old associations must bo
broken and new ones must be made and
old waya must be changed. It will be
necessary for all to remember they are
members of one great church, that of Jesus
Christ."
After the sacrament had been adminis
tered Rev. Mr. Burdlck spoke briefly to the
congregation, saying his work In Omaha
had now been finished and asking the
blessing of God to rest on the new con
gregation. Rev. Mr. Hlgbee followed, say
ing thnt he could not rightly welcome the
members of the old Second church to Knox
church, because that church now belonged
to them.
"Let us come together next, Sunday," he
said, "not alone In large numbers, but In
a spirit of prayerfulness and great expecta
tions." Miss Elizabeth Hamllng sang two solos
during the course of the service, which
closed with the congregation singing "All
Hall the Power of Jesus' Name."
The members of the new consolidated
sessions are as follows:
From Second church: F. L. Alexander.
A. N. Eaton. F. M. Hamllng, C. F. Robel,
John Trench, Harry Herzog. John S.
Phelps and August Wolters.

REDICK GRANTS THE ORDER
Rla-ht of the Company to Sell Elec.
trlclty for Power Is Defended
la the Petition to the
Conrt.
restraining order to prevent City lBeo
trlclan Michaelsen removing or cutting the
wires and conduits of the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company In ac
cordance with the Funkhouaer reaolutlon
waa secured Monday morning from Judge
Redick of the district court by the attor
neys for the street railway company. The
hearing waa aet for September 21.
In the petition the right of the company
to sell electricity for light and power pur
poses is defended by the attorneys. It is
asserted the old franchise of the Omaha
Street Railway company, which was as
signed to the present company, gave ths
old company the right to maintain poles
and wires to conduct electricity and Inci
dental to this to sell current for power
purposes. It Is also asserted the company
has been selling light and power to Individ
uals for over eighteen years with the
knowledge, consent and approval ot the
city, and that the city In numerous acts of
the council haa recognized thla right. It is
therefore contended the city Is estopped
from questioning that right now.
The company, says the petition, has In
vested S50.000 In equipment for this part of
its business and has an Income of $30,000
a year from It. To shut It off now. It con
tends, would deprive the company of Its
property and cauae an Irreparable loaa both
to the company and to a number of busi
ness establishments dependent on It for
light and power.
