Shamrock Carnival.
The Shamrock carnival Is In full blast.
The crowds that attend are getting bigger
every evening and the rowdyism that was
00 prominent the first of the week has
been practically eliminated, owing to the
efficient work of the police department.
The carnival company has .not aa many
shows as some which have been here, but
"what they lack In numbers they make up
In quality, they not having any of the
cheap attractions that are generally put
on, and this fact Is drawing out the better
class of people.
. The kangaroo court was the cause of
most of the trouble earlier in the week,
but since the people have found out that
there Is nothing to fear from being taken
In charge by the clownish policeman and
tialed before his honor, they never being
lined but a very small amount, everybody
takes It In good part and pay thcirlnea
tWith a smiling countenance.
The carnival closes Saturday night, and
with a continuance of the present fine
weather everybody should be able to find
Jime to attend and help the good work of
the club along.

They Must Mean It Absolutely pure cot
ton. Some advertising such goods would
say worsted or something else, but at
Elynn's it's different. This Is a bunch of
working men's pants. They are not over
alls; thoy are a lot better thHn overalls,
and they are cheaper 9ic a pair. We got
them cheap; we are willing to take the
same percentage of profit wo would have
to take if we paid regular prices. Tho
man who wears the pants gets all the
benefit. Porosknlt underwear tor boys and
children. It's a dandy little garment and
the price only 2.r)C. There's no use looking
for them anywhere else. You won't find
them at this price, ' or anywhere near It.
There's lots of things you cannot match
our prices on. We will sell you embroid
eries for half what you have to pay any
where else. If our price is more than half,
come back and get enough goods to make
It half free. We don't care what kind of
a sale you go against. We know where we
are at and will stand on this proposition.
It takes strong values and strong words to
make South Omaha people understand they
can do better at home, but Flynn's are
here with the goods.
Railroads Hold
Up Improvements
i
Burlington Official Declares Court
Decisions Blocked Outlay
of Millions.
According to George W. Holdrege, gen
eral manager of the lines west of the Mis
souri river for the Burlington road, there
has been a hold-up In the plans for Im
provements and extensions, which will ag
gregate ' over ' 1,000,000 In ' the Big Horn
baeln alone. The contracts for the grading
of about 100 miles of track, in Wyoming
have been let and the work will be com
pleted, but the tracks will not be laid until
a future date.
Mr. Holdrege said that the change In the
original plans is due to the money market
and the treatment in general which the
railroads have been receiving. The Burling
ton's budget provided for the expenditure
of . about 30,000,000 on its entire system
this year. Contracts have already been
let for about $10,000,000 worth of hew rolling
stock, and the grading contracts were
signed before the present feeling of dissat
isfaction on the part of the railroads with
the way decisions are coming down from
the supreme court.
The policy of the Burlington seems to be
similar to that of the other western roads
who were planning to expend large
amounts of capital. The plan Is to hold up
air unnecessary work and to finish only
those extensions which were contracted
for before the present situation. The Bur
lington haa completed already the most dif
ficult part of the grading for the south ex
tension from Thermopolls, as the road for
the tracks Is nearly completed through the
Big Horn canyon, where a pathway had
to be cut through solid rock.
Mr. Holdrege said that he didn't know
the exact amount of work which will be
held up on account of the general order to
retrench, but lie said that 100 miles of rails
will not be laid until some later date, which
will depend upon future conditions.
Saloon Licenses
Voted Tax Free
County Board of Equalization De
cides that Licenses i Are Not
Property.
The County Board of Equalization Fri
day morning voted to "consider saloon
licenses not property" and ordered that
assessments made this year be stricken
from the rolls. This action was the out
come of a complaint made byTJavid, H.
Harding that such assessment should not
be made. County Assessor Shrlver was the
only member of the board to vote against
the motion. He stated that he was under
instructions from the ' State Board of
Equalization and the attorney general and
It waa his duty to oppose the action.
Before putting the question to the board
County Attorney English and Judge Baker
briefly explained the situation, holding
that a license waa a mere privilege and
that It could not be considered aa taxable
property.
The decision will affect about 250 saloons
In Douglas county and will remove from
their assessments the $750 assessment
hitherto made on their licenses.

mercial club's traffic bureau Is home from
Washington, where ho wont to appear be

but Mr. McVann was not Inclined to be
talkative about tho matter.
"We went to the president later and

peared beforo the Interstate Commerce

Boosters Limit
Number to 1,000
Find it Impossible to Accommodate
More Than That Number
at Banquet. ,
Only 1.000 diners will be accommodated
at the "Boosters' Night" banquet June 24,
according to an announcement Friday
morning. The Commercial club commit
tee on arrangements arrived at the de
cision to fix a limit on the attendance,
owing to past experience with such af
fairs. A considerably larger number was ex
pected to be present, but the latest move
Is declared to have been necessary. Any
more than 1,000 guests would spoil the
whole picture.
