PROPOSITION TO ISSUE BONDS Organisation Has Option on Land at .TOO an Acre Body of t'nldentW fled Man Fonnd In Missouri Jtlver. An Important meeting of the member ship of the South Omaha Country club was held Thursday night at the club pavil ion. The object of the meeting was to discus." ways and means of purchasing the club grounds and lifting the Indebtedness. A committee was appointed at a meeting early In the summer to work out this problem. The committee recommended the Issuance of bonds for the purchase of the property. This move appeared feasible to the general body and the report of the committee was approved and the committee continued for sixty days. A subcommittee was appointed to appraise the Improve ments on the club grounds, which will be taken In as part of the assets. The meeting was attended by a fair turnout of members. As is well known by most of the members the club grounds are simply leased to the club for five years, with an optional purchase at the end of that period. The price stipulated In the terms of the option was 1300 per acre. It Is confidently affirmed by many real estate men of South Omaha that this land Is already worth nearly $500. The purchase of the land therefore would at any time be a paying Investment even if the club should disband and the property was prorated to the holders of the bonds. Body Found In River.

Sold by Beaton Drug Little Girls Get Happy on Gasoline Fumes Probation Officer Carver Discovers New Wrinkle in Line of Juvenile Depravity. The good hook enjoins people of all ngrs from looking upon wine when it Is red; the laws of the state of Nebraska prohibit big and little boys alike from smoking cigarettes, and other things said to be deleterious are prohibited by pure food laws, 8 o'clock laws, or otherwise. But Is there any provision ngainst smell ing gasoline? If there Is such a law, W. B. Carver, acting chief probation officer, would like to know It. Officer Carver dropped: into a down town tailoring establishment to have a suit of clothes pressed and was surprised to see two little girls In the roar of the shop bending over two open cans of gasoline Inhaling the fumes to their heart's con tent. He sought to stop them and did succeed In doing so for the time, but now he Is wondering If he has any right to keep the children from the gasoline cans. "Oh, the gasoline smells so nice and makes us feel so funny," the little girls told the officer. "We see such funny things, and Its lots of !nn. Please let us smell It. We come here every day and the man dotsn't care." Mr. Carver declined to give the names of the little girls, whom he said are about 8 and 12 years of nge. Funds Arc Short; Get No Specials No Money on Hand to Pay for Extra Police at the Street Rail way Terminals. Will It he necessary to post policemen at the terminals of street car lines at night to prevent bandits from holding up the car crews? There have been four street car holdups recently and none of the robbers have ever been caught. Chief of Detectives Savage wants to do so, but says the police force Is not large enough to allow him to detail any men from It for special duty. To employ ad ditional men for that purpose would also be out of the question, as the police fund Is already low and more regular police men could not be hired sometime ago on account of lack of money. Superintendent Nash of the street rail way company says that the expense of such a scheme has also prevented the com pany from taking It up. In spite of the danger of holdups on the night runs of the car crews, none of the employes have resigned their positions on account of them. Boy Burglar on Way to Recovery Young McGuire Will Get Well from Wounds He Got from House holder. With a policeman guarding him day and night, Walter McGuire the youthful burg lar shot Wednesday nlt;ht. Is recovering from the effects of the gunshot wounds he received.

The theft of three watches and other valuables from the home of Alfred Thomas, 1710 Cass street, on the night of July 11, is the new case in which the police suspect McGuire. One of the watches tukrn from the Thomas home was found in McGulre's possession when he was arrested. McGulre's father, who lives on Arbor street, visited his son at St. Joseph's hos pital Thursday. The mother also resides here, but has not seen her sort since he was arrested. Why JoeMik Puts In "Burlington" Designates Trains to Keep Strangers from Getting on Wrong Ones. How often have you heard Joe Mlk, pas senger director at the Burlington depot, shout "All aboard, Burlington train going west," and then wondered why he always put the word "Burlington" into his call when only Burlington trains go out from that station? Here is how he explains why he does It: "I have to call Burlington trains or else there would be several people every day who would get on trains here having tick ets over sdrne line leaving- from the Union station. Hardly a day paKses that I don't have to send some people back to the Union depot who have come over here wanting to take the Union Pacific, Kock Island or fcome other train. "Several months ago 1 tried a plan for one day of not saying 'Burlington trains,' and so many people got by to our trains who wanted to go over tho Union station lines that I never have since attempted to get along without calling the 'Burlington.'
