Latta of Tekamah, who was at the Mer chants Friday. "The heavy rains of No vember and the- extra heavy snows we have had this winter will make the roads too heavy to handle any sort of a load this spring. Farmers in our section moved all the hay they could from the lowlands during the winter while the ground was frozen, so they would not be shut off from feed this spring." Horses goaroe, Price Klg-n "Scarcity of horses is being noticed all over the west and has forced up the prices," said John Donovan of Madison county, deputy game warden. "We had a sale at Madison some time ago when the average price for ordinary horses was about $180. A good team will easily bring $600. This scarcity will Interfere materially with considerable work which is mapped out for this sum mer, -especially by the railroads. I know of Jobs for which the railroads are asking for bids without receiving a bid, because it was all work which had to be done by horses or mules." Ziooks Good for Bumper Wheat Crop we are looking for a bumper wheat crop this year," said Walter Hopewell of Te kamah at the Merchants. "The fall was fine for the wheat and the snowa have pro tected it all winter, so that it now looks like nothing short of a calamity, will head off a bumper crop of winter wheat. Farm lands in our section are increasing most materially in value since the farmers have discovered they can grow winter wheat on some of the low land. Some of this land has practically doubled in value in the last two or three years. The farmers are doing a large amount of tiling on the lower land, and this Is working toward a big Increase In values." County Court House Bids Bids will be opened by the Board of County Commis sioners this morning for the installation In the new court house of plumbing and heat lng systems, ventilating apparatus and elec trio wiring. The work is expected to cost something less than $100,000. The contract doea not call for electric fixtures or ele vator aervloe. But two bids are in so far, and K is likely that there will be a large number Saturday morning Just before the time for accepting them ends. The two which have come in are from out of the city. The envelop of one indicate that it is from the Dixon Steam Heating System of Chicago, and the other is from Columbus, O., the name of the bidder not being Indi cated.. . Bat It Is Declare "Firemen Are i Heady to Strike Vales Managers Come Across 'With av Wt Increase." 1 Representatives of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Firemen and Englnemen of the fifty-seven roads operating west of Chi cago, will confer Monday in Chicago with a committee of railway managers over the wage question. W. L. Tark, general superintendent of the Union Pacific,, leaves for Chicago Saturday night to attend the conference. C. V. Mc Laughlin, chairman of the grievence com mittee of the Union Pacific branch of the firemen, Is already in Chicago In conference with other chairmen. Mr. McLaughlin took with him the ballots of the firemen on the strike question. In the meantime the executive com mittees of the trainmen and conductors are holding Joint sessions at the Millard hotel. Members of the committees will go no further than to say that they are not concerned In the troubles of the fire men. However,' it is believed action will be taken by them in case the firemen de cide to strike. The. firemen are ready to strike." de clared a conductor. "There ia no question about that. If the railroad managers do not come across with an Increase in wages there is going to be trouble on the rail roads next week." The result of the secret vote of the fire men will not be announced to the publlo until the railroad managers and the men reaqh a decision of some kind. If the men are turned down on their demands, It Is certain a strike order will be Issued. I GIRLS OUTNUMBER BOYS ON HIGH SCHOOL HONOR LIST Male Bex Shade Ahead, Nevertheless, When Total of Both Sexes in Institution la Considered. Twenty-two girls and twelve boya have been announced on the list eligible for com petition on the commencement program of the Omaha High school. The difference in the number between the two sexes Is not entirely due to the superiority of the girls, as might at first be supposed, but la due partly to the fact that the percentage of girls to boys In the high school Is almost two to one. To become eligible for these commence ment programs Is considered quite an honor In the Omaha High school, as It shows that the student has been a faithful stu dent. The eligibility rules declare "Any pupil who has received an average of 90 or above for his work In the eleventh and twelfth grade Enllsh of the Omaha High school shall be eligible to compete for place on the program of commencement exercises." Thursday Miss Kate McHugh, head of the department of English at the high school, announced the following pupils as being eligible under the above rule; Harriet Blake, Fay Cole, Mona Cowell Blanche Deaver, Nellie Elgutter, Alice Gideon, Gladys Glfford, Maria Gordon, lima Gross, Mabel Hamilton, Irene Kirch- stein, Ida Kulukofsky, Ruth Mcllvalne.

Commercial clubs all over the state have taken up the Idea, creameries have fallen In line, banks are urging the farmers to follow the suggestions of the Commercial club, big grain companies have. Instructed their agents at their elevators to give as much publicity to the Idea as possible, the railroads have not only instructed their agents to post the prepared notices, but the superintendents of the various divisions have been Instructed to see that the agents do it and the country press has taken up the campaign. Much good has already resulted In this educational campaign and, judging from the numerous Inquiries which these differ ent agencies have received, the farmers will follow out the Idea. One farmer, however, who lives near Madison, could not stand the idea of hav lng experts try to tell a farmer what to do about his corn and has sent the following letter to the Madison Chronicle, which that paper published. OBJECTIONS TO PlTOOF.STION3 ON bEUD CORN TEST1NQ. Dear Sir: I have seen sn article In your last ltisue by the Omaha Commercial club haying that the corn Is unfit for seed or a whole lot of it at leust in Nebraska ana telling the farmers to test their seed corn or have a big loss tu them. Now I think tliat the club thinks that the farmers is nothing but a dumb brute and don't know anything but work, sleep and work attain, but I believe If the club tend' to their own business It would be better for them and all. for we have seen our corn before the.y knew what corn looks like, and If they think they know our busi ness better than we do they huJ better come and show us and not talk smart and don t know anvthinir but smoke cluars. Now, dear people, I am not an old farmer yet. Dut i nave picked sed corn for twenty years ana i never lulled yet, but I mign fall this time and wish the club would come and pick my seed corn this time for 1 think out corn Is better for seed this ear than It waa two years ago, so It Is essier to r'K seea from It. 1 wish you would publish this so they ran read it. so 'nry know that the farnie knows more than eat, work and sleep over ana over. u.u uc ruin KtAUtus.

Schwari, First German Presbyterian church, and Rev. M. V. Hlgbea of the North Presbyterian church. Dr. Jenks, . who preached the sermon, emphasised the part sacrifice played In the Christian religion and said that no life was really great until It learned to throw Itself awsy. The highest and best expres- lon of the Christian life was to be rouna n rhrlst. who took up the cross and despised the shame and was now sitting upon the right hand of aoa. Rev. Julius Bchwara delivered the charge to the pastor and dwelt upon the oppor tunities Omaha presented to any man who was In earnest In the work of the Lord. If they, he said, preached anything else than that Jesus Christ waa divine, tney were only wasting their time. Speaking of the care of the young people of the con gregation, Mr. Bchwara said they would not need any wild fire revivals ir tne minister looked after the lambs of the flock. The pastor should be a fearless preacher of the word of Ood for that was. he affirmed! what the people came to the church to hear. Rev. M. V.

(From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, March 4. Special.) To pre vent further Injury to the Peru normal school and to save the summer school at Peru, an effort will be made at the com ing meeting of the Slate Normal board, Mtrch 11, to discharge Principal Crabtree without waiting until the close of the school year for his resignation. Reading notices are being sent out from Peru knocking on the summer normal, It Is reported here, and that Mr. Crabtree's Teachers' organisation In not working for the Interest of the school. At least one member of the board has decided that It Is time to put the sohool in the hands of Its friends. When the boaid gave Mr. Crabtree until the close of the school year to resign, the members expected that he would con duct the school In such a manner that It would be turned over to his saccessor In first class shape, but recent developments have convinced Treasurer llrian, at least that the longer Mr. Crabtree remains, the more injury will be done the school. Three employes of the school resigned Tuesday, one of them being the engineer. It was not until 6 o'clock In the afternoon that Member Rhellhorn discovered that these resignations had been tendered. He at onee called upon Mr. Crabtree, who verified the report, though he had taken no steps to notify the members of the board or to secure men to take their places. The organ of the Crabtree machine, how ever, had the story and printed It at great length, the Information evidently having been given out before the local member of the board was notified of the resignations. The circumstances have convinced Treas jrer Brian that Mr. Crabtree had knowl edge of the resignations In advance. How ever no damage was done the school and the lights were on as usual, as Dr. Shell horn secured an engineer with little trouble. The following letter has been received at the state house, which gives an Idea of the way In which the organisation of the de posed principal Is attempting to create sen timent ior him: BIDNEY, Neb., fvD. iu).Dear Sir: Will you write to H. M. Chllds and E. C. Bishop urging them to try and devise some means to still retain Crabtree? Write from the standpoint of an alumnus and make letters hot, commending them for their previous stand.
