To the Parents of
Clever Children
boy
Your

can win
a prize
If you have a boy or girl, below the second year
in High school, read all of this advertisement,
please.
The Bee is giving seven worth-while prizes
each week to the children who write the seven best
stories based on Bee want ads. Aside from the
chanee to win a few dollars or a good book, this
contest is certain to benefit your children by
teaching them how to use their powers of observa
tion and how to write for publication.
The 'plan is simple any bright girl or boy can.
grasp it. We want short, interesting stories, the
plots of which have been suggested by a Bee w ant
ad. Ail advertisement for a lost coin, for instance,
might be the framework for a little romance of
an odd piece of money that someone had carried
for years. A room for rent could form the basis of
the story of a widow struggling to pay the mort
gage on her little home. There are scores of stor
ies hidden in the want ad pages of The Bee. A
little imagination and a little pleasant work are all
that are necessary to dig them out. and win
a prize.
Suppose you help your boy or girl discover a
romance, a' tragedy or a comedy in today's Bee.
Just give them a little start get them interested
you'll be ; proud of the stories they can write.
Help them find the want ad on which the story
can be built, but, remember that the composition
of the tale must be all their own work.

COUNTRY TRIBUTARY TO
OMAHA BEING SETTLED FAST
nigr norn Basin Makes Rtnirkihl.

A vast area of Irrigated land and newlv
uevniopea country is being settled this
aprlng In the Big Horn basin, which la
tributary to Omaha. The settlers will
amia ineir products to Om, ,
irom ine jobbers of Omaha," said C. O,
ournnam, assistant to the first vice Dresl
oeni oi tne Burlington, who, with C. E,
Hpens. general freight aaent. and .T v.
Buckingham, assistant general passenger
ageni, returned Monday evening from
tour of Inspection of tho Big Horn basin
That which Impressed me the most was
the wonderful development of tha Irrigated
sections, unaer tne 4.ooo,000 government
Irrigation project settlers are flocking In
One unit of 16,000 acres is all taken up and
anotner or li,ooo Is nearly all gone. The
little houses of the homesteaders may be
seen, where but a short time ago, there
was not a Tiouse to be seen.
"On the trip from Cody to Thermopolls
we saw 25,000 acres of Irrigated land under
cultivation and we could not help but tnln
of the gTeat benefit of thla new territory
to umana."
J. E. Buckingham haa a badly acratched
face from being thrown from a broncho In
climbing the mountains near Cody. The
horse and rider fell and only quick work
on the part of Mr. Spens saved both from
rolling Into the canyon.
Secretary Dales Boys Dr. r Has
Not Yet !! Resjents of Any
Plaas to tear tne Ne
braska "choot.
No move was made by 'hs fniverslty of
Nebraska Board of Regents, in session at
North Platte yesterday, looking to the re
tention of Dr. Henry H. Ward at the head
of the medjeal college of the university.
Secretary J. S. Dales of the regents,
topping over In Omaha on his return from
the North Platte meeting. Is the authority
for this statement. '
"The regents," said Secretary Dales, "had
received no official word from Dr. Ward
to the effect that he had been offered a
position In New York and Illinois at a
higher aalary than he Is now receiving at
Nebraska, end consequently were not In
position to do anything.
'Dr. Ward's resignation has not yet come
before the regents and until It does the
board will not take any action toward
keeping him at Nebraska.
It Is not likely, however, In case Dr.
Ward should resign that the regents would
be able to offer him any greater Induce
ments In the way of salury than he is now
receiving.
The board does not have the money l
Ita command to pay higher salaries to the
Nebraska Instructors. It It had had the
money It never would have allowed Drs.
Clement. Pound and Costlgan to leave our
tata school. Those were among the best
men In the Nebraska faculty, but they all
were offered great Increases In salary to
to Minnesota and Northwestern, and
accepted when the Nebraska Board of Re
gents waa unable to meet the offers of
the other schools.
Let tno Alumni Act.
The alumni of Nebraska Is the best
source for seourlng Dr. Ward's retention
at Nebraska If he finds that the higher
salaries of the eastern schools are tempt
ing enough to lead him to accept them.
The alumni can do a great deal toward
showing the lawmakers of the state that
the unlveralty will have to have more
money for lta Instructors, and they ought
to educate the people of the state to see
things as they really are. It Is time
the people of Nebraska came to realise
that Its great university Is losing many
of lta best teaohers simply because the
leglalatures will not allow enough money
for paying salaries that meet the scale
of those paid by the eastern and other
western colleges."
At North Platte the regents Inspected the
experiment station of the university and
appropriated mpney for erecting a building
for the employes at that place.
"Den Great Place
and Omaha Has
Won Our Hearts"
That ii What Grand Secretary
Mann of the Eagles Has
to Say.
"I was told some man connected with
The Bee waa responsible In large degree
for what was done to us at your Ak-Sar-Ben
den Inst night," said Orand Secretary
Mann of the Eagles, when about to board
a train for Kansas City. "I got plenty,
and I want to thank that man and all
others who had anything to do with our
entertainment for the touchea of real life
we experienced.
"My, oh my. but that den Is a great
place and Omaha has won our hearts for
sure. But we are pledged, those of us
who were present, to keep secret what Is
being done. We want to bring Orand Pres
ident Monaghan and Past Orand President
Bell up against the king and hla cohorts,
either next week or later, and we will
have them spreading your fame, too; but
only after they are put through the- mill.
"Mr. Brandeis assured me that 1 would
be let off, but I asked for a red card, or
a green card, or something, that let me
In hard. There is nothing Just like Ak-Rar-Ben
that we know of, and Oartland
and Gray, from the east, want to do It
all over agaia. Walt till wa get a bunch
of boosters from the for ends of the
oountry here in September. Then your
strong bullies and sweet singers will have
the opportunity of their lives; and I for
one am going to see to it that they im
prove every hour of their chanca. '
'Our reception In Omaha haa convinced
us that we made no mistake In selecting
Omaha for our national convention. We
will tell others, and we feel certain that
all our hopes will be realised, In making
the coming gathering of the grand aerie
tha greatest In every respect ever held
by the order."

Imaginary Hacking of Heads Em
ployed to Show Laura Porter
Killed Chenault
Fifty or more imaginary blows with a
blood-rusted hatchet were struck In district
court Tuesday in Illustration of tha way
Laura Porter hacked James Chenault, alias
John Dempsey.
First County Attorney English bared his
head to the hatchet wielded by Dr. W. K.
Lavender and later Henry Murphy's cra
nium proved Impervious to the taps admin
istered by Judge Ben Baker.
Dr. Lavender declared that four wounds
had been mads In Dempaey'a head, two
of which, were ratal. He inUmated that
the man must have been lying down when
the blowa were struck. On cross-examination
It waa attempted to make him deolare
that hla opinion of how tha blows fell was
all "theory." The DhY-slclan Dreferred tu
say hla answer was "baaed on the facts."
Dr. C. E. Bapp followed him on the atand.
He testified that he asked Dempsey several
times who had struck him and Dempsey
Invariably answered, "I don't know." The
statement Is regarded aa valuable to the
prosecution, which saya It helps to show
that Dempsey was asleep when the woman
attacked him.
