Woodard got much the better of him In a deal Involving Nebraska and Mlasourl land and promlsory note. Bowers, in a petition for a temporary Injunction In district court, recites that ha traded 1.320 acre In Brown county, Ne braska, for I acres In Missouri, giving in addition a not for 1600. Woodard. he ays, asserted that the Mla sourl land was worth St an acre. This, he alleges, was a somewhat enthusiastic view, the land being worth no more than $3 per acre. Bo he went to Woodard and taxed him with thla charge. Woodard tlien agreed to not hold the not against Bowers, says the latter. But Woodard first eashed the not in the bank of Ainsworth, and then, buying it back, secured a judgment againai Dowers. He is going lo levy on Bowers, who prays a restraining order against him. Major McCarthy Thanks The Bee Says This Paper's Editorial on "The Stuff of Soldiers" is a Just Tribute. "I want to thank The Bee for that handsome tribute to the American soldier In Its recent editorial on 'The Bluff of Soldiers'," said Major D. K. McCarthy, chief quartermaster of the Department of the Missouri. "The American soldier is the best soldier In the world, whether he bs a cadet at West Point or a private In the ranks. I am glad that The Bee has seen fit to give the soldier his Juat meed of praise. "I sent the clipping to Major Sibley, commandant at West Point, and I know It will please him as well as It has pleased every officer at these headquarters." C. J. Bell, commissioner of the Commer cial club of Sioux City, came down to Omaha Krlday to see the Bights and check up the Industries which have changed their place of residence from Sioux City to Omaha. With Commissioner J. M. Guild the Sioux City booster went out to see the town In dsylight. I p Sixteenth street walked the two commissioners, Mr. Bell gaxing at the tall buildings and making comments about having buildings lowered In Bloux City which were too high, one of which waa the Qarrrlson hotel. When Mr. Bell saw the terminal ele vators he said he appreciated the fact that Omaha had big elevators, but he under stood they were erected with tainted money. He heard Nels I'pdiKe waa one time Interested In a circus. The court house looked good to Mr. Bell because Woodbury county, from which he comes, has a court house about the slse of the Douglas county Jail, but when told of the proposed new building, the com missioner marveled much and said; "Oh, well, Nebraska has an Inheritance tax taw and Omaha Is just like a man I knew In Missouri whose mother left him three estates." Mr. Bell did not say as much, but when he looked down' from the Oraln exchange and saw the excavation for the new Bran dels thealer, he acted as though the scen ery looked familiar. "Sioux City hss many excavations." he whlsrered mysteriously. "Has that hoi been dug for ten or twenty years at Seven teenth and Douglas?" CHEERY. WORRIED.
