to Absorption n f Higher

(From a Ptaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. I. (Special.) Lancaster
county political committees arc making
every effort to set the voters out to regis
ter next Tuesday In order to avoid a big
rush on the last day of registration. The
committees are urging upon voter the
necessity of registering at this time or
otherwise they may be deprived of their
votes or at least put to considerable trouble
and cause their friends trouble. In this
icunty practically nothing Is being con
sidered In the campaign except wet and
dry and for that reason the greatest work
that the committees Jan do Is to get the
voters registered. It Is considered prac-
tlially a wast of time to try to convert the
rot nty optlonlsts to the Slouumb law or to
convert the supporters of the Slocumb law
to county option.
Who Is to Pay Inrrenset
The railroads have not yet formally noti
fied the State Railway commission that
they will object to absorbing the increased
switching charges which the stock yards
company has been permitted to make. The
commission gave tha companies until Octo
ber 17 to appear and object to the Increase
and It Is tha general understanding that
they will object to bearing the burden.
Thompson Not Itealanrd.
Though Attorney General Thompson has
been sworn In as solicitor of the Treasury
department at Washington, he has not yet
severed his connection with the legal de
partment of state. When he left Mr. Thomp
son expected to return to Lincoln some
time In October and wind up some cases In
which the state Is a party. He probably
will not resign until after election. This
will obviate the necessity of the appoint
ment of a new attorney general to serve
until January, as the governor probably
will appoint whoever la elected In Novem
ber to serve out the unexpired term. '
Metcalfe Ilelpa Cause.
Richard L. Metcalfe haa turned over to
the state Women's Christian Temperance
union all his right and title to his book,
Bishop's Sunbeams," for the period of one
year. Mr. Metcalfe made the offer at the
state meeting of ' the union at Falrbury
and yesterday, after a consultation with the
executive committee, the tender waa ac
cepted. It has been agreed that the revenuo
from the sale of the book will be devoted
to the cause of prohibition, for which the
union la working. The women will publish
and aell the book themselves.
Banquet Hall Team.
A banquet will be given at the Lincoln
hotel Monday night for the members of the
Lincoln Western league ball team, at which
many prominent citizens will meet and
break bread and boost the team.
No Reduced Ratea for Omaha.
No railroad haa yet made application to
the State Railway commission for permis
sion to reduce ratea to tha : Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities, and It Is said there will likely
be no reduction. The only explanation yet
offered by those who have looked Into the
matter Is that the report of the referee In
the Minnesota case has , encouraged - the
railroads to believe that they will be able
to knock out the lower rates over the o&un-
try which were caused by legislation. The
Minnesota decision, aa made by the referee,
waa In effect that the rates made by the
commission and legislature of that state
were confiscatory and also had a bearing
on Interstate earnings and for that reason
were beyond the jurisdiction of the state
authorities. The case is yet to be passed
on by the courta.
Lincoln Well Decorated.
In honor of German day and the Dry
Farming congress, which are on the boards

rating has been done by contract and along
O street the stores have a uniform appear
ance with plenty of flags and red, white

WASHINGTON. Oct. L (Special Tele

BLOODED SHEEP IN GOOD DEMAND
Flnrkinasterw of the vVeat Appreciate

with Which to Stock
Their It a stars.
OODEN. Utah, Oct. t (Special.) The
Four-State fair has drawn to Ogden dur
ing the week a mutltude of strangers, who
have crowded the hotels and rooming
houses and given to , the city the apear
ance of circus day prolonged.
The International Sheep show, one of the
auxiliary attractions of the fair, has
proven a decided success In the quality and
quantity of the stock exhibited and the In
terest shown by the . sheep men of the
intermountaln states. Owners of flocks
frvm half a dtzen stateS have been present,
and during., the saiea have been heavy
purchasers of Cotawolda, Lincolns, Merinos.
ShropRhtres, Hampshlres. ltamcorilllets and
the other breeds, numbering over 1,500
head.
The Harnconlllets rams are going out to
the herds In Nevada and southern Idaho,
where In the .'ast ten years the French
Importations have won a name as produc
ers of large sheep carrying heavy fleeces,
a combination long sought after by west
ern sheepmen.
The American Merino continues to hold
Its own, and Is being heavily purchased
by Montana and Wyoming wool growers,
who value the American product for Its
hardiness and wool producing qualities.
Within the last few. years, the American
Merino has been exported to South Africa
and other foreign countries, and lately the
American Ramconillet, what ia the French
stock improved by American climatic con
ditions, has been in demand by the flock
masters of foreign lands.
P. H. Shaw, who has acted as Judge of
the sheep show, and who is the head of
the bureau of sheep and goats of the Agl
cultural department of the government.
says the western herds, with the Importa
tions of the finest run and ewes In the
world, are destined to lead the sheep of
all other countries as wool and mutton pro
ducers. Ogden In the center of the ranges, Is to
make permanent this sheep show and each
year hold a similar exhibition of blooded
animals.
Wild Docks by Millions.
Where the Bear, "Weber and Ogden
rivers enter Great Salt Lake, the lakes
and swamps of fresh water are the feed
ing grounda of countless millions of ducks
at this time of the year, where the
hunter realizes hla dream of birds In
their flight obscuring the sun.
The ducks do nit breed In the ponds
that Is 90 per ceht'of them do not. They
come from the north In early September,
In flight from the Canadian lakes to the
gulf, and, settling- oh 'the local bodies of
water where feed Is good, amain until the
Ice beglna to "form, when they continue
on their way to the timber belts of
Texas and the swamps of Florida.
The migration commenced this year
two month earlier than usual and now
the birds are again 'In flight after but a
brief Btay near the 'inland sea. The ex
ceptionally dry season Is said to have
forced the ducks- South at this time. At
nighty in line wJLU yjetr journey south
ward, the noise-1 of " the mllllona of
feathery wanderers continues from sun
down to dawn "and is loud enough to
awaken one from Aiee.p.
When the ducks remain late the local
hunting grounds are a hunter's paradise,
unequaled by any place In this region. .
Hunting near Ogden is not confined to
birds. In the canyons of the Wasatch
range, eaBt of this city, not leas than fif
teen bears, cinnamon and grizzly, were
killed early last winter, and at thla time
of year deer are o be seen feeding on
the fo6thtlla. On'"October 16 the game
law will llow the nlmrods to kill deer
and several hunting parties are now pre
paring for that event
Shipping- Apples.
Apples continue W be shipped from Og
den and other points north of here by the
carload. Jonathan are commanding $1.50
to $2 In the orchard. One small orchard
of an acre near Tremonton yielded 1,800
bushels, for which the owner received more
than double a captain's pay and more than
three times that of the salary of the aver
age clerk In a city store.
That ia an exceptional yield, but five
acres of good apple orchard In this valley
of opportunity will make the average fam
ily Independently rich In worldy posses
sions and supremely happy in freedom
from worry over the financial state of the
nation or other problems of existence that
now and then vex other people.
Cnre for Cnrly Leaf.
The cause of curly leaf, that affliction
which destroys the sugar-making quality
of the sugar beet, has been discovered and
a remedy suggested by Harry B. Shaw,
pathologist of the government, who haa
been studying this beet plague for aome
months. In a report to the Amalgamated
Sugar company bf Ogden j states that
curly leaf is caused by the 11 af hopper, an
Insect which, in the fall of the year, goes
Into hibernating In tha weeds and rubbish
along fenoea and reappearsv In ths spring
to rs-establlah colonies of parasites on the
tender beet leaves, there to remain to de
stroy or retard the growth of the sugar
tuber,
Utah, as wel as Nebraska and other beet
augar producing states, ha suffered heavy
losses by the devitalizing power of thee
insects, so that the proposed remedy comes
as an offering of great value to the beet
raisers and the sugar factories depending
o;i successful crop for. long campaigns of
sugar making.
The weeds and rubbish not on one farm,
but everywhere within reach of the Insects
should be gathered In the fall and burned.
This will destrop the Insects harbored by
the weeds and free the farms from all
danger of curly leaf.
Law to Compel Destruction.
Mr. Shaw suggests that legislative action
be Invoked to make compulsory the de
struction of weeds In the fall. The remedy
has the added value of removing weeds
that are obnoxloua In themselves, and
which, like the Russian thistle, rob the
soil of its fertility without one compensat
ing benefit. A movement la now taking
form which has for Its object the urging
of such legislation by the Utath legislature
as will meet the suggestions of Mr. Shsw
and make all farmera and other land own
ers responsible to the county and atate for
the menace of premises overgrown with
weeds.
M. G. M'KOON DEAD ON SUNDAY
Former Omaha Resident Paasrs Away
After Loan- Illness at Los
Angeles.
Samuel Ree received a tslegram from
Loa Angeles yesterday announcing the
death there of M. Q. McKoon Sunday
morning, once a resident of Omaha, and
still very well remembered here. Mr. Mc
Koon, who waa 7 years of age. had been
In poor health some time, and his death
was not unsapeeted. H waa a brother of
Mrs. R-es and Ml as McKoon of the Omnha
public schools, the latter having but very
recently returned from an extended visit
at Lo. Angles.
Mr. MrKmin left Omaha about twenty
nine enrs ago for Los Annele. but has
always kept In touch with the affairs of
this city, and Una made It a point to en

Members Vote
Down Raise of
Field Club Dues
Large Majority Against Move to Add
Money, Arguing Other Ways
to Retrench Funds.
One hundred and fifteen to elRhty-six
was the vote east against the raising of
dues of the Omaha Field club from
to 140 per year. This means that in spile
of the Increased expense account turned
In by the board of directors at the meet
ing the members will consider some other
manner of retrenchment to pay off the
debt rather than make the cost of the cluo
privileges higher.
Of the 340 members present only 201 were
entitled to Vote, as many of them were
merely on the paid waiting list and not
regular members. Much heated discussion
ou both sides of the question was In
dulged In, but finally a speech by I. J. Dunn,
followed by several convincing argument
by K. P. Smith, a former president of the
club, carried the day for th opposition to
the dues.
The question which received the most
heated argument was the one pertaining
to the dining room, which Is run at a lots.
Many members bring their friends out and
give dinners there, as It Is cheaper than
any other place in town, and the dues of
the members who belong for the golf and
tennis are taken to pay for this, accord
ing to some of the candidates for "no rais
ing." It is probable that another meeting to
consider some other line of action will be
held In the near future, as the club stands
now several thousand dollars In the hole.
The statement of the club's finances, as
given at the meeting, Is aa follows:

carnival grounds Saturday afternoon to
the envy of her girl friends and the grudg
ing admiration of the boys who can stand
on tha roulette wheel or run backwards
along it dlszy edge.
The Human Roulette Wheel, as it Is
called, Is a big disk of highly polished wood
about thirty feet In diameter, which Is
kept whirling around at a bewildering
speed. The middle Is higher than the edges
and the unlucky adventurer who does not
know how ia whisked off his balance the
moment he steps upon It and Is thrown oft
like a pebble out of a sling shot, at the
outer edge. Around a small circle upon the
center eminence runa a low ledge of wood
and by hugging close to the floor and cling
ing fast to this ledge a passenger may ride
In safety. If not In comfort, while the wheel
goes through Its revolutions.
For small boy It Is a rough and tumble
paradise. They Jump upon the edge and
make for the middle land there Bomehow
or other and stick there until they are
pushed off by the sudden and precipitate
arrival of another. Then they are whirled
off the wheel.
But Saturday afternoon . they were all
shooed off by the attendants and It waa an
nounced that girls were to have their turn.
The engine were stopped and the girls got
safely to the center and prepared to hang
on. Then the enginea were started.
Any unprejudiced observer could have
seen that Margaret who sat firm and silent
waa determined to be the last one off. All
the grim dignity of her eight yeara was
concentrated In that resolve. The wheel
started to move. The .other little girls
screamed and clutched at one another as
they felt themselves going round. Margaret
set her teeth and said nothing. One by
one with little ahrleks of dismay the others
lost their holds and slid off, the last ones
being thrown with catapultlc force and con
siderable dlshevelment Into the arms of
the people at the aides of the wheel. Finally
there were only two left, Margaret and one
other. The other smiled and began to look
a little sick. Margaret kept her place.
Round and round they went. The people
watching were clapping and making beta
on who would stay with it the longer.
The other one looked Into Margaret's face
for some sign of a compromlfee, but there
was nothing there but determination to
win. So, with a pitiful little smile she let
go and out she went.
Then Margaret, seeing herself all alone
In the middle of her own universe whirling
away at the rate of several revolutions a
second, glanced around proudly at the
spectators and calmly slid off. Admirers
set her upon her feet and she walked away
a Uttle dizzily, but with a nonchalance that
bespoke her superiority.
