ONE HUNDRED PER CENT CORN
Yield on l.laroln Division Will Raa
Thirty-Five to Krtr-Fle

Com on the Lincoln division of the Bur
lington will average from thirty-five to
forty-five bushela per acre end will yield
a 100 per cent crop, according to the crop
and soil report of that road, which ssys
that cern In Nebraska Is in exceptionally
good condition because of the abundance of
rain last week. The only parts of the dis
trict where the corn does not look good
are on the Kansaa branches and the west
ern part of the McCook division, where
the corn was burned before the ralna came.
In some places In the west tha corn Is
being cut for fodder, but these pieces are
small per cent of the whole. The
average yield on the Wymore division will
be from thirty to thirty-five bushels to
the acre. Reports from the McCook di
vision as a whole show but 51 per cent of
the normal crop.
Fall plowing is under way on all dl
islons, with the soil in fine condition.
Prospects are good for an Increased acreage
of winter wheat, especially on the Wymore
division, where the corn crop could not
be planted this year because of the wet
weather. Threshing of wheat is still in
progress and the estimates for the various
divisions are: Lincoln division, 21 bushela
per acre; Wymore division, 30 bushels, and
McCook division, 13 bushels per acre, which
la one bushel higher than last week's
estimate.
Potatoes will yield an average crop and
the prospects for sugar beets are exeep-
lonally fine, larger than last year.
General rains prevailed Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning over ihe greater
part of Nebraska, with the heavier rains
in the southern portion. The heaviest

EUGENE DUVAL, FISHERMAN
Milwaukee Railroad Official Makes
Record latrhlusr Black Rass
1st Illlaols.
Eugene Duval, assistant general western
agent of the Milwaukee railroad In Omaha,
has just returt.ed from a vacation trip of
ten days. He and Mrs. Duval visited -wtth
his parents in Lenox. Mich., spent some
time in .Detroit and the remainder In Il
linois. At Detroit they witnesses the cele
bration of the 84th annlverslty of tho
founding of the city. Magnificent water
demonstrations were the chief features.
Great lines of steamboats plied up and
down the beautiful Detroit river, presenting
a sight simply charming to an Omaha man
dreaming of the days when the Missouri
river will be laden once more with com
merce-bearing steamboats.
But where Mr. Duval really found the
climax of his vacation was on the Illinois
liver at Astoria, III. There he visited a
young farmer named Frank Luti. Mr.
Luts has 400 acres of rich Illinois land skirt
ing the river.
'My friend told me they had fine black
b.iss-ln that Httto old river and I could
scarcely believe him," said Mr. Duval.
"Well, one morning bright and early after
breakfast we Btarted out In a boat down
tha river. Finally we came to a sort of
pocket In the stream and he broguht our
boat to a standstill.
' 'What' thls'f I asked.
" "This Is where we catch the black bass,"
he replied.
"It didn't look much like it to me, but
we began to throw out for black bass. Say,
in less than no time we had fourteen of
those fish that measured well, it looked
to me like they Were at least fourteen
Inches long, every one of them. Why, wo
Just hauled them out as fast as we could
throw In our lines. We weren't there any
time. I Just wondered what some of tha
boys at home would do If they could step
off their back porch and catch such fish
as those."
Mrs. Duval remained in Chicago for a
little visit and will return home soon.

CROWDER AIDEDJN CLEAN VOTE
Jadaie Advocate loaeieea the Cohan
Kleetlosi for h U.t Inter
ests of All.
J. W. Hitch, who has reiently returned
from Cuba, where lie was employed In the
government service. Is an Omaha visitor.
"1 have seen but very little regarding
the recent elections in Cuba In any of the
western papers." said Mr. Hitch, "and it
might Interest you to know that Colonel
Enoch H. Crowdrr, Judge advocate general
of the United Btatcs army of occupation In
Cuba, and who I learn is well known In
Omaha, has been prominently identified
with the work of securing a fair election
there. I have Just received a letter from
F. J. Martlnes. chief clerk of the election
bureau of Cuba at Havana, in which he
says:
Well, our rush of work Is over. A more
plessed man than Colonel Crowder on the
day following the election I never saw. He
was all smiles and he certainly deserves a
good deal of credit for the masterly man
ner In which he has conducted the whole
affair. It wsa no small task to hold com
bined elections under a new law entirely
unfamiliar to the men who had to be
called upon to administer It, and it Is cer
tainly srntif yinjr that under such trying
conditions the elections should prove an
unqualified success. That they have been
honest and clean Is generally admitted.
Kicks have been few and far between,
and as a rule were found upon Investiga
tion to be groundless, Of course In a very
few Instances defeatid eandldntea have not
taken their medicine gracefully, but even
In these rases the matter has been dis
posed of summarily. Most people I among
mem rainer anticipated election troubles,
especially in the rural districts, but the
day passed without a hitch. In Ran Jose
de las Lajas. the candidates for mavor of
opposing parties, who were bitter enemies
dvi ore election, met In the street. One of
them shot at the other without effect. The
two men were arrested and landed In the
station house, and that was all. I pre
sume this will give the yellow papers sn
opportunity to display big headlines all
about serious election riots and bloodshed
at the Cuban polls. Aa a fact, we have
not received a report of any serious vio
lence anywhere on the Island as an out
come of the election."
WILL TRY TO SOAK 'EM HARD
Polleo Officials Will Endeavor to
Fat Matlsinm Fine on
Anto Speeders.
Hereafter autolsts who are arrested for ex
ceeding tha speed limit wilt be tried under
the city ordinances which provide for a fine
of not less than $50. and not under the state
law as heretofore which provides for a fine
rjot to exceed $28 for the first offense.
The decision to try the autolsts under the
city ordinance was reached by Judge Craw
ford and City Prosecutor Daniel, both of
whom had formerly entertained the opinion
that the state law superseded the city ordi
nances and that the statutes prevented any
regulation by a municipality.
"It Is the only way to bring the offenders
to time," said Chief Donahue, when In
formed of the decision of the police courl
officials. "Heretofore when offenders
against the speed orQIhahce were fined any
where from $1 to $10, the amount was ap
parently Insignificant to a person in suffi
cient circumstances to own an automobile,
but a deficit of $50 from their pockets each
time they are convicted will tend to make
them keep within bounds."
NOT WASHBURN-CROSBY
Makers of Gold Medal Floor TSot Con
eerned In "Minneapolis
Receivership.
- i ,.
It should be understoo'd "that the Wash-burn-Crosby
company, " maker of G.ld
Medal Flour. Is In no way concerned with
the recent Minneapolis flouring mill re
ceivership. The slight similarity In names
has led to some confuslo.i.
One need have no feai that the Gold
Medal housewives whose pictures have
adorned the magazines and newspapers will
cease to appear. We shall see them the
same as ever, and the Washburn-Crosby
company continues to be the largest mill
ing concern In the world.
Therefore, while the receivership In ques
tion is most unfortunate, It does not by
any means concern all Minneapolis flour
mills. The Washburn-Crosby company,
maker of the widely advertised Gold Medal
flour, shipped 8,000 cars last year more than
Its nearest competitor. And It Is flourish
ing still.

SCHOOL WORK DRAGS OUT
Only One New Building Will Be
Beady for Opening.
NO ANNEX FINISHED BY THEN
Beraose of This Faet Maaaal Train
Ins; Mill Hare to Re Eliminated
front Some of the t'sr
rlenlnms. Only one of the new school buildings
and none of the additions to present building-
will bo ready for the opening of achool
on Tuesday, September 8. This Is the opin
ion of Duncan Flnlayson, superintendent
of buildings for the Board of Education.
Three new buildings are being erected
and additions are being built to three other
schools, but with the exception of tha
Vinton school, they cannot possibly be
ready for the opening of school In the
fall. Work is being rushed on all of them,
but the contractors acknowledge that they
cannot finish until late in tha fall. Tem
porary arrangements will be made, how
ever, for holding school in all the districts,
but the accommodations will be cramped
and manual training will have to be elimi
nated from the cunicolums in some of
the schools until the completed buildings
are ready for occupancy.
The new Vinton school is the nearest to
completion of any, and it Is thought 111
will be ready for occupancy by the open
ing of school. This nsw building will b
one of the largest and most modern In the
city. It contains twelve rooms and a large
auditorium.
The new Forrest school will not be ready
for occupancy until late In the winter. Old
annexea have been located on rented
ground across the street from the school
site and school will be held tn these until
the new building is completed. The Omaha
View school building will probably be done
by the Christmas holidays, the contractor
saya, and the fall term of school will be
held In the old building. '
At the Farnam school it Is thought the
addition of three rooms will be ready by
October 1. Wltp the addition, the Farnam
school will contain twelve rooms.
October for Franklin.
October 1 Is also the date set for the com
pletion of the addition to the Franklin
achool. The slate roof wilt be put on this
week and then the plastering will have to
be done. An addition of six rooms Is being
built at Franklin, making a school build
ing of sixteen rooms altogether.
The Lothrop school Is farther behind
and the addition will not be finished until
some time in November. With the addition
of the eight rooms Lothrop will be tho
largest ward school in Omaha. The orig
inal building contains ten rooms. The old
building will be In shape for the holding
of achool when the term opens, but to ac
commodate all the children manual train
ing will have to be dispensed with and
the manual training room divided Into two
study rooms.
John Latenser. the architect, has been
Instructed by the buildings and property
committee to hurry up his plans for the
south wing to the high school and It is
hoped, that it will be possible to build the
foundation this fall.
Manual training will be installed this
fall In the Vinton, Lothrop, Franklin and
Farnam schools, but the Vinton school
will probably be the only one where the
course can be taken up at. the opening
of the term on account of the uncompleted
conditions of the buildings. As soon as
the buildings are ready the course will' be
Installed, however. Manual training Is now
a part of the regular course In the high
school and the following ward schools;
Monmouth Park. Leavenworth, Mason, Pa
cific, Columbian, Windsor, Cssj, Comenlua,
Saunders, Lake and Walnut Hill.
INROAD ON THE CIGAR GIRL
Patent Now In Use tnat Alma at Beat
ing; Smiling; Yoansr Person
Oat of Hor Job.
For years inventors have been working
overtime to cheat the girl Who laugha men
out of their money behind cigar couriers
of hotels, out of her job. This summer they
succeeded and an Omaha hotel manager
bought one of the first machines.
The first machine installed In Omaha is
now "working" at the Her Orand. It has
neither a dice bos attachment nor a smile
It simply drops out certain brands of cigars
without comment and the busy traveler or
loafer can go on about Important bualneas
affairs without stopping to Josh the cigar
girl.
From all the slot machines about Omaha
there is only about one profession secure
that of tho rwsboy. No one has yet put in
a machine -to sell newspapers. Shoes are
shlned by dropping a coin In a slot; one
machine at the Faxton hotel offers to
"speak your weight." The patient atands
on a scale, presses a lever and a phono'
graph "hoilorea," "You weigh Hi pounds-
go plsy golf." On every street corner where
the people weigh, "commodity" machines
were Installed last week, where a customer
may help himself to a pasteboard box, and
feed the machine colls to get any of fifty
seven articles of confectionery. Another
machine sells cloves.
But the passing of tha cigar girl at hotels
means a r-ew era In American business life.
It means decreasing expense accounts, de
posits in the saving bsnks and various
other changes. "Traveling men" may even
be hard to secure as a result of the inven
tion of the mechanical cigar sellers.
SLOPPY SMITH COMES BACK
Yeteraa Hoarse Returns to th City
After Several Years of
Absence.
Charles "Sloppy" Smith, who kept the
police department on the move for several
years, but who disappeared from Omaha
about four years sgo, is sgain a resident
of the city Jail, where he slept Tuesday
night on the dual charge of forgery and
breaking and entering.
"Sloppy," os he Is most familiarly known,
started his criminal career In Omaha aa a
petty larceny thief, but as the years wort
on he began to promote a more dangerous
system of crime, being the leader of a gang
which contemplated the blowing up and
robbing of the safes ot the various street
car barnk in th city, but which plan was
frustrated by a member of th gang dis
closing it.
"Sloppy" returned to Omaha a few days
ago and was arrested Wednesday night
for breaking Into th room of Gus Shulta.
Ml North Sixteenth atreet, and stealing a
quantity of th latter' clothes. Hs alao
stole a few clothes front George M. Gay,
4C North Sixteenth street. In th pockets
of a coat, which hs stole from Oay.
"Sloppy" found a check which he attempted
to cash at the stors of Sam Adler, Twelfth
and Farnam atrreta. signing Gsy's name
and giving Chief of Police Donahue as
reference. Adler called up Chief Donahue,
giving a description of Smith, and tha lat
ter was soon under arrest.

SPUDS ' PEELED FOR WIVES
Potato Chips Factory Removes Bur
den from Women's Minds.
HITS AT THE DOMESTIC PROBLEM
Readers It Possible for Jap Cook to
Make Ip Beds Dnrlnsr Time
Ha Would Be Prepar
ing Potatoes.
Why worry over the servant problem or
stay out of the bridge club? Why pay a
Japanese cook for peeling potatoes when he
might be making beds or chop suey? The
latest addition to the Industries of Omaha
is a factory where potatoes are peeled for
hotels and "busy" housewives at night
and Saratoga chips cooked in cotton seed
oil for them In the daylight hours.
H. Brodsky and O. Gift of Sioux City
found life monotonous up there and the
society women all peeled their own po
tatoes. So the factory for matting chips
was moved to Omaha and a lease taken on
the old Hee building at 914 Farnam street.
The machinery was Installed and a few
car loads of prvtstoes brought to tide the
factory over while eighty acres of spuds
are ripening near Sioux City.
From now on Sioux City will grow po
tatoes for Omaha, but Sioux City refuses
to peel them. The women up there will
peel their own potatoes, but they won't
peel spuds for the women of Omaha. So a
Sioux Cityan will run a big factory and
peel 100 bushels of potatoes every night.
While Omaha gets the factory, the "corn
palace" city, 100 miles above Omaha, will
get some of the advertising, for the new
"Industry" Is to be called the "Sioux City
Saratoga Chip Factory."
balld Goes for factory.
It was discovered by Commissioner Guild
of tha Commercial club that Omaha res
taurunts and hotels had been securing
Saratoga chlpa from up the river for many
years. Sioux City had a factory, but
Omaha did not have one which could supply
the demand. So the commissioner gut
busy. He found a man who was making
chips at Sioux City -and growing eighty
acres of spuds Inside the city limits,
"somewhere near the police station," the
comrr.'sMoner said. The result was that
Omahans are to not only have Saratoga
chips made "ui their midst," but also
peeled potatoes. In fact, no potato which
Is Imported from Sioux City will get to an
Omaha consumer without Omaha doing
something to the potato and thus furnish
ing employment for a certain class of
must pass is so full of dread that the thought fills her with apprehension.
There is no necessity for the reproduction of life to be either very
painful or dangerous. The use of Mother's Friend prepares the system
for the comin? event, and it is rassed without any danger. This
remedy is applied externally,
and has earned thousands i
women through the crisis
with but little suffering.
