Mayor Dahlman, City Engineer Craig and Street Commissioner Flynn have formed themselves Into a great triumvirate and started out to clean up tba city ai never before. They are firmly resolved to maka con tractors and business men walk turkey and oome up to the scratch during the next few days and there will be no let up In the campaign either day or night, workday or Sunday, until the business dis trict presents a respectable appearance. The mayor was the first to realise what the city Is up against In the way of dirty . streets and uncompleted improvements In the downtown district at this inopportune time when the city Is beginning to fill' up with thousands of delegates to the Eagles convention and visitors to King Ak-Sar-Ben's carnival. He decided what ought to be done and what must be done, and then called in the engineer and street commissioner and told them what was what in so many words. The result is that the three departments executive, en gineering and cleaning will work together in an effort to make things hum. First Effort sixteenth Street. . First efforts were put forth by the en glneer on Sixteenth street, whera th en tire pavement has been torn up for oVer a week between Farnam and Douglas streets preparatory to replacing old street car rails with heavy steel and th aid granite pavement with asphalt He held a long conference with the officials of the company and sucoeeded In getting them to igree to put on day and night craws to work through Saturday and Sunday and have the heavy rails all In by Monday morning. Upon th completion of this work the paving crews can gst possession of the en tire street and hav th pavamest down In short order. Concrete mast set three days before th asphalt U laid, but the city engineer believes th ntlr work can be out of th way before Thursday, the day for th Eagle parade. The work would hav been completed be fore bad th craws not been hindered by rain. It was also found necessary to put a concrete baa under the heavy rails and this took " mora time than waa planned. All sidewalk repair orewa hav been or dered by th engineer to get oat of the way by Saturday night and the street commissioner has ordered all thes crews to remove all their material th same night No more sidewalks will be repaired until after th carnival. Farnam Improvements frosa Rear. Improvements being made on buildings on the south side of Farnam street be tween Fifteenth and Seventeenth streets and on the north side of Farnam street near Fourteenth street, opposite th Pax ton hotel, where the Eagles mak head quarters, Is preventing th cleaning' of this principal street. Th street commissioner, aided by the chief of polio, will endeavor to get these builders to carry on their work from the rear and to pll their, material In the alleys. Earth being hauled from three large excavations In the downtown section the court house, th City National bank and the Brandels theater building is keeping the streets dirty, but no method has as yet been devised whereby this can be don away with.

Three fir engines, two hook and ladder trucks and several hose companies were rushed to th city ball, where dens smoke poured from th windows of th fourth floor, Indicating that a flero fir waa con suming th entire Interior. Th ladders were unhooked, but befor they could be placed against th building and befor a Ingle stream of water waa brought into play, th cause of th fir was discovered and th fir fighters returned to their stations. A Jar of phosphorus Is used In testing the quality of gas. This has to be kept covered with water all the time, but the Jar was broken, th water seeped away and In a short time th laboratory room was filled with smoke Issuing from th jar of phosphorus. Charley Rawoskl, Janitor on th fourth floor of th city hall, waa th hero of the hour. He discovered th broken jar of phosphorus, plunged it under water and UTen laughed at th firemen.

Ths gamut of things Interesting to the family Is run In Tha Housekeeper for Sep tember, starting In with a half doxen vital stories and finishing with all sorts of sen sible advice about fashions, fancywork, health and good cooking. "His Troublesome Ward," a new serial by X.ucy Austin, Is begun. Grace MacQowan Cook contributes some old fashioned plantation stories that are sure to be popular. The Popular Science Monthly for Sep tember, contains among other articles: "Ca pacity of the United States for Population," by Prof. Albert Perry Brlgham; "Peale's Museum," by Dr. Harold Sellers Colton; "The Theory of Individual Development," by Prof. Frank R. Ltllle; "The Origin of the Nervous System and its Appropriation of Effectors," by Prof. O. H. Parker; "An other Mode of Species Forming," by Luther Burbank; "Henri Polncare and tha French Academy," by M. Frederic Masson; "Col lecting' and Camping Afoot," by A S. Hitchcock. . Having rounded out its first BOO months of exlstenoe with the August number, Llp plncott's Magaslne starts out with Septem ber as though it could sea a far longer vista of months and years of Ufa ahead of' it And there is no reason why it shouldn't, so long as its present high quality is sustained. Beatrix Demarest Lloyd has a breesy little essay In the September Smart Set on "The Inconveniences of Spiritualism" which is peculiarly timely just now when the magazines of serious turn of mind are devoting much good space to tha discus sion of spook chasing. "John Paget's Pro gress," by W. H. Q. Wyndham-Marttn Is a quite up-to-date novel published complete in this number. n Ths fiction . in the September Strand Is particularly attractive. Hall Calne pre sents a powerful installment of his great story. "The White Christ." Conan Doyle contributes a splendid short story entitled "Tho Lord of Falconbrldge." "Harding's Luck" is one of E. Nesblt's charming stories written ostensibly for children, but especially enjoyed by grown-ups. "Peter's Pence" Is a delightfully humorous story by W. W. Jacobs. There are other splen did short stories by well known authors. The September Wide World magaslne contains a splendid number of stories, tales of travel and adventure, anecdotes, etc.. I all of which are of Interest and enter taining. The October Keramlc Studio will be de voted to the work of the Newark Ceramic club as the material arrived too late tur the September issue. September Wood Craft deals exhaustively with the taxation of timber land and the various methods that the several states hava considered as suitable for enactment Into law. The series of papers on mahog any continues to give data on the pecul iarities of growth and structure exhibited by this splendid tree. Wonman's Home Companion for Septem ber devotes a big section to fashions. Not only gowns, coats, hats and waists, but the important little things are exhaustively handled. There are plenty of good slorlei In the Issue for these last hot days stories by Octave Thanet, Mrs. John Van Vorst, Katharine Holland Brown, Mary Heaton Vorse, and others. Illustrated by such artists as James Montgomery Flagg and Alice Barber Stephens. We hear con stantly the cry that our daughters are be ing taken from home, but seldom a prac tlca! plan to bring them back. Katharine Eggleston's article In this issue suggests a plan and a good one. There are a num ber of articles that should be cut out and pasted In scrapbooks. COYOTES GOT MUSIC FOR THEIR HOWLS FROM INDIANS Conclusions of an Old Flalnamaa Who Hears I.o Sins; Throagh a Phonoaraph. Not long ago an enterprising Omahan corralod a real Indian from the Pine Ridge agency and got him to sing several of the Indian rhapsodies, sonnets, love songs, symphonies and themes Into a phonograph. Several friends of the enterprising Oma han were Invited to his home a few days ago to hear the reproduction of the In dian music. The music was weird and thrilling, If a little deficient In artistic technique. Among those present at the Indian musl cale was an old plainsman who. after hearing the collection of phonograpblo pro ductions through, remarked: "That is Indian singing, all right, and Is good stuff. It has opened my eyes to a thing I could never understand before, and that is, where ths coyotes got the music for their bowls? I see now, tat y got It from an Indian concert. " The Spirit of Nebraska z Many writers have exhausted themselves'in discussing the spirit of .Nebraska. The hopefulness, the courage, the enthusiasm of the Ne braska citizens cannot be avoided. His pride is boundless, his faith is far reaching. His belief in the men, his admiration for the women, and his confidence in the institutions of his locality, makes him'eloquent as he espouses them. It is a fine spirit and the right one. It will carry a man far, and it will carry a com munity farther if its men all join in it. It is sufficient to state here that a tidal wave of progressdveness has struck the county seats and small cities of Nebraska. Opportunity has knocked at their door, and they has tened to undo the latch. If the city and country towns are to hold their own, in the present strenuous strug gle for existence and advancement, they must adapt measures to re- move every possible cause of fric tion in their machinery of trade. Publicity is the key to the twenti eth century business success. He who has a business must get it be fore the world, or the world will pass him by. The general laws of publicity, which apply to ordinary business institutions apply with ad ditional force to municipalities, to communities and cities'. To settle up a country you must attract emi gration by exploiting its resources. To build up a town or city you must advertise to the world its industrial and commercial possibilities. , For this purpose there has sprung up in nearly every town and villiage in Nebraska some kind of public or ganization, working for the indus- trial development of the community. All these have one aim in view the betterment of the town and the email city, that it may be a more pleasant place in which to live and therefore more prosperous. These associations are found in nearly every live community. To these bodies are intrusted the. unsched uled and undefinable possessions of the public. It is for them to mar shal and exploit the resources of their particular territory by adver tising them as they would goods in their own personal business. The woking capital, or moro strictly speaking, the stock in trade of any municipality is the unoccu pied territory. The industrial, raw material, and the business oppor tunities within its particular sphere of influence. Every home town is a center of industry, the throbbing, dominating heart of its surronding community. It is quite plain that the time has arrived for a stirring up of the com munity conscience to a realization of the duty the individual owes to his town. Every good citizen owes allegiance first to his family; second to the community in which he lives; and third, to the nation. Selfish ness, when home is an object, is al most a virtue. .What is needed are more and more who will appreciate their obligation to organized com munities. The country towns and small cities in Nebraska that from whatever cause fail to take advant age of every trade wind that blows to retain its legitimate local busi ness, will lose out in the race. But the town that organizes its forces and makes an intelligent and sys tematic fight for its own will win out and prosper and wax strong. The average Nebraska country town is up-to-date on everything ex cept the highways that lead to it. The common highways bear the same relation to the country town that the railroads bear to the great commercial center. They are gath erers of business. The introduction of the telephone, the rural free de livery, the trolley line and the auto mobile, instead of decreasing, has enlarged the trade territory of the country town. The Nebraska peo ple are noted for their habit of get ting together and talking things over. This custom of interchanging ideas among various classes of workers, as the farmer, the manu facturer, the artisan, the merchant, the banker and the professional man, is most strongly established in these prairie counties where civ ilization has made the greatest strides. It has come to be natural for him to accomplish by co-operation what he cannot do alone. The man who has pride in his home town and who, if it does not meet his ideas, works and strives to arouse enthusiasm in others to make it sjich, is the best citizen. Just as we are considered a nation practically sufficient unto ourselves, so the cit izens of Nebraska are loyal to home institutions. It is for these reasons that "The Story of Nebraska" is being told in The Omaha Sunday Bee. The inves tigations are being made with care, and the stories of the counties are told conservatively. They are ac complishing great good for Nebraska.
