LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BITES Tekamah Statesman Pulls in Vain at Pockrtbook on the Walk. THINKS HE HAS FOUND FARM Small Boy, After Watehlna- Jsdae - Hopewell Strain Hie Mrenath fur a While, Pipes ltlai Off." Lieutenant Governor Hopewell tiled to pull a farm up throush the sidewalk at the Burlington station Friday morning when he a In 'he city enrouie to his home In Tekamah. Cares of public office, overseeln his farms In Bun county and Incltental'y lak-Irg- some Interest In various and sundry era I merchandise stores, the llfUtenant governor of Nebraska ha forgotten many of the summer pastimes of the "lung, hungry, lean, 'ornery gang o' boys you want to hang." and he stepped from the train apparently absorbed In meditation over what to do in Omaha between trains. As the lieutenant governor made his way toward a street car, carrying the bis suit case, his eyes fell on a pocket book. Its ktal leather tides were tanning In the sun shine. Borne traveler had evidently Just dropped tt. or a hack driver had charged the passenger hi "roll" and the purse had been thrown ay. But another look convinced the lieutenant governor that large amount of paper money was sweating within the leather cover. From all appearances there was enough to choke a tunnel or buy a Burt county farm. Gases at That Money BasT. For a moment, the lieutenant governor looked at the purse. He evidently thought of how quickly the found finds an owner and the lost Is found when want ads are used and he stopped to pick up the big porran. Now, the lieutenant governor has pulled rutalmgaa three feet long from his gar ten, and displumed whole hills by grubbing prickly-elm stumps with his hands. But that po kefbook on the sidewalk Friday morning did not respond to the powerful "yank" of the lieutenant governor. It had j the resistance of a cabbage after the ground is froxen or a stay chain picket of a horsepower, when driven lr. a gumbo road. Just as the sweat was heginlnng to fill the crown of Mr. Hopewell's hat. a tawny face half black with dust, peered over the top of the viaduct. The governor did not look up. but there he stood waiting near the pockctbook. and this la what the kid said when he spoke: "Stung." Cheers, bat ' Vntes. "Governor Sheldon Is in Kantns, looking aftir some private business and we look for his return Saturday or Sunday," sold Governor Hopewell. "I cannot say that the nomination of Mr. Bryan this morning caused any unusual excitement in Ulncoln, rom the fact that It was a foregone con clusion. A big delegation of citizens drov out to Ills home early In the morning to tell him about It and surprise him, fearing that be might not have heard It. Mr. Bryan has a great many friends in Lincoln and they naturally take great pride in his nomination tor a third time. I question whether he will receive any more votes In Lincoln In November than he did eight and twelve years ago. Nebraska will of coure he the great battle ground of the campaign, but I do not think there any existing con dition here that will cause the democrats to make any material gains In the Htat). "Tha flood conditions about Lincoln are still bad and the water Is reading slowly. A number of dead horses ami other stock He scattered about the lowlands that weM drowned in the flood. The railroad peopla are overwhelmed with work In clearing away the debris of the flood and gettini; their yards In condition again. The city authorities of Lincoln will have a big job of work on their hands cleaning up and restoring sidewalks as soon as the watv subsides sufficiently to permit the work to go on. "I shall not attend the Territorial Pioneers meeting at Milford tomorrow, but may return to Llnccln In the event that Governor Sheldon does nut return." ICE PEDDLERS RAISE PRICE Small Dealers Jump Up, but Large Ones Not Yet. Harlfora Hoatf Geis Oat. NEW HAVEN. Conn., July 10,-The sale by the. New York, New Haven A Hartford Railroad company of its holdings in the Huston A Maine road, amounting to some UO.iXa) shares, to John L. Illllsrd, a banker of Meiulen, was consummated in Boston on June 30. The transaction waa fur cash. Mr. Hillard today In confirming the report of the sale stated that the . pur chase by him waa a erxonal one and was of an Investment character. In railroad circles here it is learned that the vale of the Boston Maine stock entirely and absolutely relieved the New Haven road of any Interest in that property. LATTER SAY THEY WILL NOT Declare They Will Malatala Saaie su-liedale of Prices They Started Oat With at First at Season. As usual the agile mercury snd price of Ice have gone up together snd hundreds of consumers, who have been paying 40 cents per hundred will b- compelu-d to pay DO rents In the future for Ice. The mercury Is still free. But the advance has not been made by the big Ice companies and they predict that their present price list will be main tained throughout the season at least It will not slide downward. "A large amount of tho Ice delivered to the resiliences Is sold by 'peddlers.' who 1 do not own a pound of Ice from one day to I another They buy their Ice from those ! who ship It to Omshs," said a large dealer. A Frlghlfal Kaperlear with bllliousness, malaria and consti pation, is quickly overcome by taking Tr. King's New Life Pills. 36c. For sale by Beaton Prug Co. "It is such deslers who have been selling Ice for ) cents per hundred and under selling the regular dealers, who havw bsen compelled to push the price up ten button holes. The big Ice companies of Omaha made a price of M cents per tiundred May I. for ice delivered to realdences. and there they have kept It regardieae of the p'ddlera who have been selling for 40 cents." . Compared to tha prices of last year the schedule of the Ice uian now looks like this: 1908. lf7. Butchers 16 00 per ton $3.00 per ton Grocers 7.00 per ton b.it per ton Families, del'd. .50 per cwt. .40 per cwt. With ona or two exceptions the large Ice companies hsve been compelled to ship Ice to Omaha from the far north. Only the cool weather which has lasted prac tically up until Friday saved the dealers from exhausting; their supply, and all being dependent on shipping In Ice. Train loads of Ice are coming Into Omaha weekly. The dialers pay 11. Zb per ton for it f. o. b., the cars In northern Minne sota. The freight to Omaha Is 11.75, mak ing the ioe cost thera 13 when switched to tbe unloading tracks. Thera la a shrinkage In shipping, which makes the Ice cost at least H per ton when It Is In the cars. The Ice dealers psy t4M per day for a man and team to deliver the Ice. This Is said to cut the profits of those who sell to tha butchers at t& per. ton to almost nothing, while that sold 10 grocers and others at 17 50 per ton does nol yield a very large profit according to the dealers. It Is claimed the dealers who ship In a tralnload of lea at a time sell It to tha peddlers for L3 to 360 per ton. They have been delivering It- to the residences ons, two and three miles frura where It was loaded In their wagons for fc per ton or 40 cents per bundled. Matter af Caajeetare. Whether the dealers shirking la the Ice have raised the 'price to the peddlers or whether they hava simply learned that they tin get M cents for the Ice the same as the lsrge companies.
