The publicity efforts of the bureau, said the speaker, dovetail pretty closely with other aspects of its work, so that It Is not easy to differentiate them. The ad vertising of the principal shown of Omaha, tha Corn exposition, Ak-8ar-Ben, the Elec trlo show and others, will be carried on by the bureau co-operating with tha manage ment of these Institutions. Little Dog His Guide and Guard Faithful Pet Leads His Blind Master Through Crowded Streets Wherever He Goes. Leading its blind master, Tom Qulnn, around the streets with a skill and Intel ligence that Is noted by everyone who sees him, a little white and tan dog is attracting much attention In the down town district. Qulnn says he has been blind since he was born, 63 years ago, and the dog has been his guide from place to plica for ten years. It precedes him a short distance . at the end of a little chain, and carefully makes Its way through tha most crowded streets and over cros sings. Did you raise the dog?" Qulnn was asked. "Yes," he replied, dryly, "but It didn't get much raising. It's not very high off the ground." , SHEEP AND CATTLE WAR Incidents of loa the Conflict for Lands In the West. Grit- A middle-aged, foreign-born American. Swanson had gradually acquired a small flock of sheep. Always a hard worker, he was also sober and respected, a stubborn man. tenacious 'of what he felt to be his rights. Consequently, when he heard that the sheep and cowmen, In their respective associations, had selected as a dead-line the boundary between Delta and Mesa counties, two of the divisions shorn off the western portion of "Old Gunnison," he resoluti-ly decided to disregard such re striction to his grazing rights, Therefore, In tha late autumn, some three years ago. he drove his sheep from summer pastures down across the Uncompahgre valley, west ward past the thriving little city of Delta, on toward Kanna creek and tha White water, on across the dead-line. A single herder, only, was with him. Suddenly, with a hoarse shout, a party of masked men rode upon them. "Swanson, up with your hands. By Ood! you sh'a'n enter tha cow land with that bunch of sheep," cried tha leader. Up went the leader's hands. Like a flash up cams Swansan's rifle. "I'm an American citizen," said he, spirit edly. "This Is government land. I'll stand to my rights." One of tha riders raised his oarblne. Swanson covered him his gun snapped. A puff of amoks from the riders and "Pete" Swanson was dead. The herder was promptly tied and gagged. Then, bend ing low in their raddles, the horsemen dashed In among the sheep, clubbing, club bing, right and left. In a few minutes the butchery was completed. " A stake now marks the spot. Though locals and Plnkertons have striven for the 110.000 reward offered by tha Uncompahgre valley sheepmen for the apprehension of the murderer, he Is still at large. Soma say that he might be found near the Uin tah Indian reservation, but whoever would secure that reward must needs be quick on tha trigger. Some months after this tragedy a body of masked men rode in upon a flock of a thousand head grazing In the Gunnison country. Hid away behind a crag, tha owner fingered his JO.SO carbine, counted the twenty maskers butchering his sheep, then, opening an extra box or cartridges, drew a bead on a rider. With a groan he 1 CONTESTANT IN THE OLIDDEN HU J ltHCt-AKKO b lowered the gun. "I might get five or six," he muttered, "but the others would pot me later, even if they failed today. And I have a wife and children." "Every shfepman is for himself, only, and they're all cowards," so say the cow punchers, sneerlngly. A. W. North, Jn Hurper's Weekly. All Johnson in Minnesota No Bryan Sentiment in North Star State for the Nebraska Democrat. "We have no anti-Johnson forces in Min nesota; in fact there is no politics In Min nesota at present," said J. B. Sheehan, general attorney for tha Omaha road, who now lives In St. Paul and Is visiting In Omaha. "Governor Johnson Is a very sick man and there was some doubt as to his re covery. It Is altogether too early to talk national politics, but If Mr. Johnson re covers and desires tha Minnesota delega tion to the national democratic convention he can have it at any time, notwithstand ing the Peerless Leader." Mr. Sheehan said that he was now In the railroad business and entirely out of poli tics and that his observations were wholly from the outside, but that what he had stated was the general opinion of all. SAFETY GUARD IN ACTION Meyer PeTlce to Prevest Street Car Accidents Is anceessfnly Tried on Farnnm Street. An effective demonstration of the Meyer Safety Guard company's device for street cars Is being furnished on the West Far nam street line. A car equipped with the guard Is making regular trips east and west. The guard represents the recent Improved and patented device of the company for open cars and consists of a broad strip raised and lowered along the side of the car and hung so far out that passengers ran stand on tha footboard. Tbe device Is constructed on a so-called "gravity prin ciple," the visible part being balanced by hidden weights. A lever operated by the motorman raises and lowers the protecting strip, which swings Inward at ita highest elevation. The guard has been shown by these trial irtps lu be a thorough success. It fulfills lis first essential that of keeping passen gers from Jumping on or off a moving car and keeps those already on from being thrown off or from falling. The guard will appeal to street car com panies because It will reduce the number of aoaidents and consequently tha number of damage claims and suits. Its operation 1.4 speedy and the local tests show that the regular schedule is not delayed by a second. One hundred and thirty-seven street car companies have asked a demonstration by tho Meyer Safety Guard company of Its mechanism. WHEAT NOT GOING TO CHICAGO Grain Is Great In Nebraska and Not Being Hustled to the Wind i'lty la Reports show that In spite of rumors that Nebraska wheat Is being hustled to Chicago, such Is not the fact The Bur lington is at present loading only about twenty cars of wheat a day In Nebraska and the Union Pacific ten. No heavy movement has started, although the In crease In grain loads Is about 100 per cent over July 1. Nebraska Is In a fair way to have a bumper crop and the Burlington superin tendents' report to General Manager Hol drege says of corn: "It is, of course, altogether a question of prospects up to this time, but It Is safe to say that not for many years have the prospects been as good as now for a big corn crop. Corn Is well advanced for this season of the year. In many places It Is tasseling and Is too large to cultivate. TOUR. Because it is provided witli an air cooled engine, wlrile tine rest have water cooled. Because It Is simple and liQlit weight. The bost working temperature of an automobile jras engine Is approximately 360 doRrrca. The nearer the cylinder temperature Is kept to thla holnt, the greater the amount of energy obtained from the gasoline. As water boils at 212 degrees it Is difficult, if not impossible, to operate the water-cooled engines at the most effi cient temperature. Before the engine reaches the most efficient temperature steam pockets form, the circu lation system gives trouble, overheats, aud there is a reduction in the engine's efficiency. That air-cooling, it it cools, is the best system is an acknowledged fact. Does the Franklin engine cool perfectly? Kor eight years the Franklin has been air-cooled. Over 7,000 Franklins are In dally use in all parts of the country. Is the Franklin engine efficient and economical? Look at the every-day service and the economy records held by the Franklin. The Franklin made the greatest of all economy records by covering 87 miles on two gal lons of gasoline It also hiid the lowest gasoline consumption in the Long Island Economy Contest, covering 242 miles on 9 gallons. Ueing lighter than other automobiles of equal ability, it has K-bs load to carry. It is naturally more economical to mulntatn. a, to the ability and staying qualities of the Franklin engine, the Franklin was the first automobile to The insistent call of our patrons has finally led us to open a local sales room for the sale of VELIE AUTOMOBILES and we have accordingly taken the corner of 19th and Farnam streets where we shall be glad to have you call and inspect the full line at any time. The "Car Coming" Velie 30 is just exactly two years ahead of the others. Will you lead or follow? 'Xne thousand bushels ot wheat was threshed from fifty acres near Oxford last week and one carload of this sold for 95 cents. It is estimated that wheat will av erage twenty-four bushels to the acre. "Oats are yielding decidedly better than was anticipated and the harvest Is well under way. Kugar beets continue to do well and the second crop of alfalfa Is cut In many places, with a good yield."
