DENVER, Colo., July ".(Special Tele gram. )-The Dahlman gubernatorial boom will be about the only really new thing In sljht at Denver. While It may appear trivial from the viewpoint of national polltlca to run a mere gubernatorial boom Into the erot light, the plans have been laid for a Tuesday morning demonstration along tl.ose lines Dahlman has been on the ground for ten days and there should he r.-i attempt to rtlsmilse the fart that he h's made a pilpahle hit. Denver reception committee honored lilm; newspaper cor respondents looking for feature stole mught him out and democrats from the far enst made their Inquiries for him after rsklng where all the Indians were and if there wna any fine for shooting buffaloej within the city limits. For be It from Mayor Jim to overlook t "t of that kind. When the Dahlman demo crats arrive on their special train Tuesday rooming they will march to the nrown Tslece hotel where they will be greeted by Mayer Jim, who has had his hair freshly rut for the. occasion, with the first whoop of welcome to be sounded by the faithful who are on hoard nnd have been properly drilled. Tanners will be broken rut from every f'.oor bearing the Inscrip tion "Fir Governor of Erysn's State Jimoi C. Dahlman." The crowd here Is riV to cheer at the drop of the hat with the first "hip. hip. hooray." Some thing like 2oro or 30.rY) will take It up and the D.ihlmnn iruhei natorial boom will be launched. Former Congressman Shallenherger of lmn Is here apparently unmindful of the proBTiim thnt has been plinned for making Dahlman's candidacy a national Is.vie I'erpe was reported to be "on the way," but he may get In too !ate for the fire works. Lrbeck his not been heard from but there are hopes along the line and when he comrs. !f he does at all, the dam age will have been dene. Dnhlinan the Tfebraskn Show. Really Dahlman Is representing the Ne braska democracy at Denver. There are a, few hundred others here, but they do not seem to know, and none of them appear to core, where they are going, or why they are here. At last reports none lind shown any symptons of having been through a particularly wet- season In Ne bruska. There are some J-irhsonlans here, leading a very virtuous nind painfully lonesome ex istence. John Powers. Bob Aitchlsnn Fruiik, E. r. Fterrymnn and a few other Jack are uround the lobbies, each one looldrg as happy as though he had found i wasp In hU pocket and wondering whether some Dnhlmnnlte will have an at tack of enlargement of the heart and give up a ticket to the convention some dull afternoon session when there won't be much doing. Constantlne J. Smyth, Timo thy J. Mahoney and the rest of the Jacks are evidently In the Lobeck special, or on some ether train that has been caught In a vnhovt. There vos a real genuine demand today for Mayo-.- Hrown of Lincoln.

He was hours late and finally, upon arrival, proved an al'M by submitting to a search. He allowed the Impression to get out that the platf.-m was In the keeping of Gov ernor Hatkell nf Oklahoma. Hut Haskell showed f'ght ami the search was aban doned. Irnntlus Jehovah Dunn was next to rliown most In demand. Dunn Is going to make the nominating speech. He Is In training and not accessible.

As a matter of fact, somu forty-six states, g few territories and aome insular posses sions arc going to have a hand In selecting the candidates to be whipped by Taft and Sherman in November, but up to date It Is a Nebraska convention. Wayfaring dele gates fvom all sections of the nation are here, nsk'n:; what the Nebraska candidate wants. The Nebraskans are expected to give the inswer and undoubtedly will do o when they get the direct tip from Bryan. tCo Nebraska democrat here really knows what tho program Is to be, but every Ne braskan here appreciates the Importance cf his position and la willing to let the rest of the country think that he knows all about It. The plan la a good one. It pleases tU Nebraskans and does not hurt the other fellows. Her.ry C. Richmond, late editor of the Fremont Herald, has been appointed assist ant secretary of the convention and will be connected with the national committee dur ing the campaign. Frank T.

Benedict Items, York Democrat. A Bit of Advice At a recent meeting of the undertakers of Nebraska, held In Lin coln, a number of the delegates expressed themselves as strongly opposed to the custom ot opening caskets in churches or elsewhere for the gate of a morbidly curi ous multitude. Considerable opposition was also raised on the Sunday funeral. Good enough! Both stands are well taken.

Fish Story A farmer tn this locality was wading through his meadow last week when he was attacked by an enormous catfish, which sprang from behind r hay stack, where It had been hiding, and caught him by the arm. The farmer was being dragged rapidly through the meadow to the river when his son, hearing his cries, suc ceeded In driving tho fish away by stabbing it with a pitchfork.

JUDGE GARY S OPTIMISTIC Head of Steel Combine Bays OatlooU for Business Revive.! Is Good. NEW YORK, July 7.-E. H. Gary, chair man of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, who sails for Europe tomorrow, made an optimlstla statement today on business conditions He said: "From the viewpoint of the United State Steel corporation, the Iron and steel busi ness has been better during the last two weeks than at any time since the depres sion last October. The tendency since the beglnnnlg of the calendar year has been toward Improvement, with some fluctua tions until the readjustments In prices were made In the early part of June, when the placing of orders in most lines war practically suspended. This was because many of those who were contemplating additional purchases were In doubt as to whether or not there would be further ad justments. However, there seems to be a general feeling that bottom prices havo been reached. The necessities of the pur chasing community ar greater than ever before, and the ability to pay Is greater than ever before. Of course, the latter part of the statement Is subject to some modification. Many of the railroad com panies are at present embarrassed by reason of the lack of funds, but their difficulties will surely, even though grad ually be overcome. Many of the railroad companies have already taken steps to finance their requirements and all are be ginning to realise that money la plentiful and cheap and easy to obtain when first class securities are offered. All that Is required to bring about satisfactory busl ness conditions Is the restoration of per feet confidence and that appears to be near at hand. In many lines of business there Is no ground for complaint. In aome departments of the agricultural Implement trade for instance, the sales per day are now the greatest In the history of the country. This shows to a demonstration, two things: "That the farmers, the great wealth pro ducers of the counfry, have confidence in financial condition and that they are sat isfied with crop prospects for the year. 'The basic conditions of the country are sound. First of all the moral tone of the people has been elevated. Multitude have been thoroughly converted to tiic doctrine of a 'square deal.' It would be useless for any of us to deny that we have been aroused to a keener apprecia tion of the old maxim 'Honesty Is the best policy." Full credit will be given to Presi dent Roosevelt for the efforts he has made In raising the standard of business conduct." Ill' LI. STOPS RECOmT I STORY District Qsnls Kaw Goea te the .

Lars Jensen of Fifty-fifth and Center street was seriously Injured Sunday even ing In a fight with Gus Schmidt, a brewery employe, who had been living with him. The two men had been drinking during th Cay and quarreled oer th use of some glasses which belonged to Jensen. As he Is 89 years of age he was no match for the younger .nan and was knocked down and kicked tn the stomach. The ttury resulted In a rupture and Monday an operation was necessary. Dr. Ben loir, who h.is been cartnr for him at St. Joseph's hospital, considers his chances of recovery very slight. Schmidt la being held by the police. The city council made Its most Important business, the rescinding of the previous ac tion ncceptlng the proposition of the Cham pion Iron Works settling the city Jail con troversy. The reason for this was that the company had charged up fS'x) for extras which the architect declnreo was not legiti mately to be allowed. He claims that most of the expense of this kind wps due to the fact that the Champion Iron ccmpany was behind In furnishing the material for the cells. So the whole question of the Jail was cpened again. The appropriation ordinance was Intro duced containing the estimated expenses of the next fiscal year. This ordinance con templates an expense of $?17."S0, exclusive of th ludgment fund. This fund will be about $.000. The Items of expense have been carefully detailed so that all require ments may be met. About $lVw of the present year's expense Is represented In the accounts which should have been paid by the late city administration, but which was prevented by the legal tangles Into which it fell. Tho Emery Anderson company bid par ami accrued Interest for joo.OfO of South Omaha Intersection and Kewer bonds. When this money Is received the rest of the server contracts mny be fulfilled. The sewer bonds were authorised to the amount of tW.000 by the legislature, but the admin istration issued only $30,000 at this time. Tho Intention Is to make this amount cover the deficit If possible. This will provide for the north branch of the N street gulch sewer, the Highland Park sewer and the Jetter creek sewer. The contracts have been let for these sewers, but on account of the delays the city, It Is believed, could not hold the con tractors except by their consent at th present time. The council received a petition for a new viaduct over the Burlington tracks at Thirty-ninth avenue. Thl la about at the Intersection of Thirty-ninth and N streetS4 The first partial estimate for the curb ing of Twenty-fifth atreet was allowed, t2.732.49. The city building Inspector reported thirty permits for buildings in June, with a valu ation of $30,750, The city treasurer's report showed collec tions to the amount of J97.755.8G; disburse ments. $37,438.37, and a net balance of $374,. 318.37. The Omaha Water company was ordered to extend the water mains on Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, from Missouri avenue to I street. The question of a drinking fountain was referred to the Douglas County Humane society and will be presented by the proper committee. Bcasol Board Meeting;. The Board of Education held an Import ant session last night and elected fifteen teachers to the unasslgned lists from which the assigned list are to be filled. These teachers have passed all required examina tion, have fulfilled the other requirement and been recommended by the superintend ent and the teachera' committee. The elec tion was unanimous. The list Includes Carrie S. Iieebe, Jessie I. Graham, Eva Healey. Bessie Howard, Esther V. John son, Leta Ci. Kellogg, Hernlce O'Klef. Ethel J. Prey, Anna Robertson, Marv Sheeny Annette Sherry, Lotty D. Wright. Teacher to whom city certificates have been Issued by reason Of the applicants' holding professional state life certificates; Grace D. Stlllwell, Mattle M. Roberts, Grace Conklln, physical director. The report of the superintendent in cluded the statement that he favored a manual training scnool in preference to a trade school. He also reported that in re- vent examinations twenty-seven had tried nd twelve had passed. All of the latter were recommended for election. i The report of Paul McAuley on the cenau bowed that there are 3. 054 boy and 3,538 girls of school age In the city. The report of the treasurer showed balance of $61,96.1S. The board voted to have nine and a half months school next year. The board signed a petition to grade Six teenth street from G to I streets, with a view to making a sewer district later and getting the proper sanitary sewer. The Highland Improvement club was given the use of a room In the Highland school building. Bids were received for printing and sup plied. Seven companies were represented. The bids were referred to the proper com mittee of the board. Vladnct Closed to Street Car. The Q street viaduct was closed to street car traffic yesterday, although lighter ve hicle are still allowed to cross. The com pany la runr.Irg a stub line on West Q street with accommodations enough to handle the crowd which make use of the line. A soon as the reconstruction burins the street will be opened across the tracks b.iow th viaduct. W. Scott King will superintend the construction of th' viaduct for the Union Stock Yards company. Tronble for Sewer Contractor. W. Stott King and George Parks have gone to Brooklyn to examine a working shield lor use In the construction of the Mud creek aeer. The National Construc tion company hr.s one shield on hand, but It has proven Impracticable because It Is pushed forward by lever-Jacks and the levers required are too long to be used In tunnels of the dimensions of this sewer. It will require a hydraulic shield, one that Is thrust forward by the use of water prossure. There is such a shield In use at Brooklyn and the men have gone to that city to ei amine It. The heavy rains of this ummer have practically brought all the '.wer woik to a standstill. Marie City Gossip. F. A. Ci fssey expects to leave today for Falrbury.

Wo will cook them better than you can, because we have better facilities. We will send the meals, to you ready to serve delicious, fresh and appetizing. And we'll serve them more cheaply than you can, by far. Pork and beans and tomato sauce all baked together baked in the Van Camp way. We have made this dainty dish after 47 years of experience the daintiest dish on the table. If you have used Van Camp's as millions have we have nothing farther to say. You are using them still, and will use them always. You never will buy any others. But, if you haven't tried Van Camp's please let us tell you something very good that you've missed. Michigan beans, picked over by hand. The whitest, plumpest, fullest-grown "We buy only the choicest Michigan beans, grown on a eoil rich in nitrogen. Then these choice beans are picked over by hand, so all but the best are discarded. That is why our beans are so perfect, so full-grown, so uniform in size. Sometimes we pay, to get such beans, eight and nine times what other beans would cost. But we always de mand, and always get, this highest grade of bean, no matter what the price is. The immense popularity of Van Camp's is due, in large part, to those beans. Our tomatoes are all vine -ripened, and our sauce has a sparkling zest - You have eaten sauce made from tomatoes picked green, and ripened in shipment. You found it was flat. You have eaten sauce made of scraps from a canning .factory, and you found it lacked richness. Our sauce is made solely from vine-ripened tomatoes, picked when the juice fairly sparkles. We spend to make it five times what common sauce is sold for. But the result a savor, , a superlative zest, which Nature alone can give. That is the sauce which we bake into our beans, so that it goes clear through. Our ovens are heated to 245 degrees. That's why our beans are digestible Home-baked are heavy and hard to digest. They fer ment and form gas. It is simply for lack of heat. We apply to every bean more than twice the heat that gets to the center of your baking dish. The par ticles are separated so the digestive juices can get t them. Our beans digest completely. Then we bake in live steam not in dry heat. Nona of our beans are crisped, none are broken. All are baked alike all baked until they are mealy. Yet they are nutty because they are whole. ' There is no need to have beans that are, mushy and broken. People don't like them that way. Learn ho-! different beans are when baked in the Van Camp way. Ms li BAKED WITH TOMATO SAUCS Beans are Nature's choicest food 84 nutriment. They give you more food value than meat, pound for pound. Yet they cost but a fraction as much. They are delicious and appetizing; all people like them. You can serve them daily, without tiring yout people, if you serve Van Camp's. There is no food more nourishing, no food that is cheaper, no food better cooked. It pays to get the best beans the beans that your, people like. Then serve them in place of meat. Keep a dozen cans in the house a delicious meal is then always ready No matter what you do in winter, you surely don'f want to bake beans in summer. Let us do the baking now. Each can of Van Camp's means a meal always wait ing. A meal without labor, a meal without heat. But don't get the wrong beans. Don't let someono argue, "My beans are as good as Van Camp's." No other beans can compare with Van Camp's, and millions of people already know it. That's why we bake more beans than any other concern in the world. You will know the difference when you try Van Camp's. We shall not need to remind you again. Three sizes: 10, 15 and 20 cents per can. Van Camp Packing Company, Esi86ihcd Indianapolis, Indiana.
