Dave Dickinson, clerk of the United Btate district attorney's office. Is pretty near the whole thing now that District At torney Ooss Is away on a visit to California. Mr. Dickinson la called Attorney General Wlckersham by some of the federal build ing force and Incidentally he calls Secret Service Agent H. B. Mills "Mr. Wllkie." Friday morning while passing Mr. Mills' office Dickinson called out to Mills: "Hello. Wllkie?" not noticing at the mo ment that another man was seated in the office with his back toward the door.

The Burlington Is completing a deal to give It better trackage facilities for an en trance to It Tenth street depot The delay In securing the property Is costing the Burlington thousands of dollars, but the necessity Is apparent and the propefty Is fast b'lng secured. Thursday the deal was closed with the Haarmann Vinegar and Pickle company whereby the BurllngtonCpaj that company $r4,( for Ita property and In addition agrees to provide a new site for tho company on which a new factory may be built. The plan I lo buy all the property outh of the Burlington track for aom distance from Tenth to Thirteenth street. Negotiations are under way for the pur chase of the Linton block from Frank Burkley, but the deal ha not been closed. Tills property la couth of that seoured from the Haarmann company. Burlington officials ay thl newly ac quired property I not to be used for any thing at present except for trackage. The Burlington has been greatly handicapped In Omaha because of lack of trackage laclll- ties. From the passenger station wet to the city limits the railroad haa but on track, and this Is a great hindrance to business, as all the freight and passenger trains between Omaha and Bouth Omaha must go that way. The Burlington has to do a large amount of switching In connec tion with its Omaha depot and tfii 1 diffi cult because of no trackage faollltlea to the west. Most of the land Is on a cliff from thirty to, forty feet high and this will require a large amount of grading before it can be used for trackage purpones. The Haarmann tract wa graded a couple of year ago to prepare it for the new vinegar factory. The grading was done by the hydraulic system. The clay waa flushed Into the sower by a large stream of water. The United States government put a stop to this process, fearing It might change the course of the Missouri to have so much clay washed In at one place. The property has been bought by the Burlington through the Byron Reed com pany. Burlington officials also say they will go right ahead with the new (1,000,000 freight depot which will be built on the site of the old fi eight house and on some adjoining property recently acquired. The committee of experts which D. Wlllard, vice president in charge of operation, ap pointed to report on the best plan for a modern and up-to-date depot, I now In the east looking over the latest terminals and will report soon. Plans will be pre pared at once and the work will be started aa soon as the contracts can be let. 2-Piece Blue Serge COKKECT URESS FOK MEN AND HOYS No matter how many suits bang in a man's wardrobe on a hot summer morning, nine times out of ten he will select his blue serge in preference to any other.

A Business Man for a Business Job I am a business man and the office of County Commissioner is a business job. The county of Douglas spends, through its board of county commissioners, upwards of half a million dol lars a year and in addition is erecting a new court house to cost a million dollars. To handle this business properly calls for business ability, which I believe my experience and standing in the business community war- rants me in claiming to possess. 1 w. . : 4, : ,vtf twi . v v - I respectfully salicit your vote.

M i DISTRICT JUDGES HALT ON GRAND JURY AND ADJOURNING Have Not aa Yet Tome to a Definite Cenrlaaloa on Either Prop osition. The adjournment of the district court is still a matter of discussion among the four Judge In Omaha. At a recent meeting called by Judge Sutton to consider the advisability of a grand Jury in September, an order was signed by Judge Sutton. Troup, Day and Kennedy ordering an adjournment for Sat urday, August 14. This was decided upon after the grand Jury proposition was dis cussed and postponed until February. This decision did not settle the matter of adjournment, however, since Judge Sut ton discovered Thursday that he could not form his decision upon a new trial In the Masauredls case by that time. John Masauredls I under sentence of death for killing Officer Edward Lowery In South Omaha, and the motion for a new trial I atlll unsettled. It was found also that a naturalisation day comes on September 12, and that court should be open on that day or there can be no more naturalizations until within thirty days of election. This Is not an absolute bar to adjournment, but some of the Judges are Inclined to go on their va cations and hold court In session formally, but not actually, until that time. Judge Troup declares that aa far a he la concerned court will adjourn Saturday, and, as Judge Sutton haa already left on a fishing trip, there will be very little done In the court house for the rest of the sum mer. The next term open October 4. No Hop Now, Bays Cona-don, of ( on. In a- to AmHrable Term of "rt tlement for Water Plant Pur chase with Company. The water works bonds In the sum of $6,500,000 voted by the people at the city election May 4, will not be Issued until the United States supreme court hand down Its declRlon. The bonds were voted o as to have the money on . hand in the event the Water board wa successful In effecting a com promise with the Omaha Water company. This compromise cannot be effected and the whole case hinges on the decision of the nation's highest tribunal. The case will be heard at the October term, but It may be December or even January of next year before a decision is handed down. The bonds In the sum of $.1,000,000 for the purchase of the water works and voted by the people March 6, will not be Issued. Thl Is the Information given out by Isaac E. Congdon, the lawyer, member of the Omaha Water board, who said it Is extremely doubtful If a compromise witl the company can be effected. Scvera overtures have been made to the com pany, he says, but all wore turned down. The last was made by Mr. Congdon on h recent trip east when he saw President Woodbury of the Omaha Water company. No tie to Isaae Them. "We have received a number of Inquir ies about the bonda voted last spring," said Mr. Congdon, "but there 1 no use In issuing the bonds and paying 4 per cent Interest on the money and then deposit ing the funds In the bank to draw 2 per cent Interest. As soon as we are able lo take over the plant the bonds will be is sued. "The board has nothing to do with the $.1. 000,00 in bond voted in 1M0. That wan before the board was created and the council ordered the vote on that Issue. The bond were never Issued, but the ordi nance authorising the issue has never been repealed. The city could Issue these bonds If it wished, but It Is not necessary, as the $(.00,00 voted last spring Is more than enough to buy the plant when court action Is finally at an end." Mr. Congdon said that the method of payment would have to be determined by the court. If the court orders the city to pay Interest on the appraised value of the plant from the time the appraisement wa made until the actual transfer of the plant takes place, then the ctly will be entitled to the revenue of the water works during the same period he said. CHIEF WILKIE LOOKS OVER SITUATION IN THE WEST Head of Secret Service Wants None of Chics o Chief of Po llceshlps. John E. Wllkie, chief of the United States secret service, spent the day in Omaha as the guest of S. R. Rush, special assistant attorney general. Mr. Rush en tertained Chief Wllkie at the Happy Hol low club In the afternoon. Mr. Wllkie 1 one of the men to whom the position of chief of police of Chicago ha been tendered since the little rift In the political sky over there that showed up some members of the civic family in un favorable lights. But being chief of Chi cago's police force has no attraction for tha man who Is chief of Uncle Sam's secret service. Chief Wllkie Insisted his visit to Omaha was of no special moment. He I on his way east from an extended visit In the west. He was disinclined to state the purpose of his visit In the west, but the recent agitation there in coal and other land frauds leads to the inference that he has not been on a mere pleasure Jaunt.

The taste for green corn. Ilk that for the symphonies of Ludwlg van Beethoven, Is not universally diffused among the races of men. The Scotchman, though he eats oat with gusto, regards corn as a feed rather than a food, and the German, busy with hi rye bread and tauerbraten, has no time to master the difficult art of eating It. Certain misguided persons, In an effort to spread the eult of oom-on-the-eob, have recently devised Ingenious hooks and prongs for holding it to the face. The Idea of these Inventor seem to be that the preju dice against corn, among many races. Is due entirely to the risks attending the or thodox method of eating It. The new fan cied corn hook make the operation .so simple that a novice can master It In one lesson. When they are employed the fin ger do not touch the ear at all. Instead. It Is safely Impaled, like a beetle on a pin, and so all danger to the clothing, eye and surrounding public I removea Despite the apparent refinement of this device, we are unable to approve It. To get the true flavor of green corn one might eat It In the manner followed for centuries by those epicurean eastern shoremen who are the acknowledged Raphaels of the art. If the finger do not touch It, how csn on get the full measure of Ita electric warmth? With a ttel prong piercing It vitals, how can it appeal to the Imagination? With all danger of it sudden flight removed, where Is Its old romance? Away with all such mechanical Impediments to poi-tlc eat ing! A well kiss a pretty girl through a tleve! Baltimore Sun.
