TO MAKE DISTRIBUTING POINT Krflarrr to De In Operation h Ike First at the Vrr to Take fare of Oatpat of the New Wmln i Melds. company's icneral Manager Htooks of the Mid Mcst Ull company Is here from Caspar, Wyo., conferring wltn the Omaha bunt, i fis and railroad men with a view to t.-tabllshlng a warehouse and arranging or tne distribution of the picduct from this point. Tnc Mid-West Is one of the largest oil producing companies operating In the new Wyoming oil field. Its wells are located In the Hand creek district and at this, time are flow ing about 1,500 barrels per day. The field Is forty miles north west of Casoar, to which point a pipe line will be completed early next week. I'P to thla time the oil has been stored in reservoirs In the vicinity of the wells, but upon completion of the pipe lino It will be pumped to Caspar, a distune? of forty miles, where It will be treated at a refinery that will be completed and In operation by the first of the year. This refinery will have a capacity that will be about equal to the preset flow of the wells. From the Sand Creek district to Caspar the country Is lecl most of the way. In fact it Is so near level that there will probably be but one pumping station needed, tire oil being carried the balance of the distance by gravity pressure. Warring Officials to Engage a Berth County Commissioner Oscar J. I'lckard and Pater P. Elsasscr, who have done more or less warring on the Board of County Commissioners since last Janu ary, will go to Denver and Yule to prod the Colorado Yule Marble company Into rushing marble shipments for work in the new county building. They were named as a pushing committee by the board and will depart Wednesday. There Is some speculation an to how they will pet. on together, but they say an armis tice will be In ' effect during the trip. Their expenses will be paid by the county. t'nder Its contract the Colorado Yule Marble company should hae all the marble here by January lx but o far only one car has arrived and one is on the road. John I.atenser, county building architect, advised the. board to send a committee to Colorado, Baying the Wood men of the World and other buyers of the Colorado Yule marble have' men on the ground to make the company rush out their contracts. for Minors to Be Posted in Schools A copy of the law against the use of tobacco by minors, printed In bold, black face type will adnrn each room In every school building In tho city before the holiday srajion begins. The probation of ficer has had several hundred copies of the law printed and the Hoard of Kducs tion Is having them posted on the walls where nil the pupils may see. The law provides that no "minor under the age of IS years" shall use tobacco In any form and for violations of the law may be fined not to exoeed. 110. Any minor, how ever, shall be free from prosecution when he shull have furnished evidence for the conviction of the person selling or giving him the tobacco.

The ; limited pulled Into North Platte two hours, and, forty minutes behind time, when It Was discovered that a woman was on the train who was en route to a hospital in Rochester, Minn., to undergo a serious operation,. If the delay - was not made up In the 291-mlle stretch between North Platte and Omaha the woman would miss connections with the Northwestern to. St. Taiil and be forced to lay over In Omaha twenty-four hours, thereby risking her life, 'vHen this I fact was learned the conductor gave ;the engineer orders to "hustle along." and the trip of 291 miles was made in 300 minutes. Five stops were made, averaging six' minutes to the stop, and deducting this time from the 300 minutes tho Limited made an average speed, of abodt sixty-five miles an hour. The name, of the woman for whom this extraordinary run was made is not known. The Limited arrived In Omaha t $:uii Its rjfitilar time being 8:39. No Reduced Rates for the Holidays People this year need not look for any reduced rates on the railroads for the holidays. Railroad officials have given out the information that there will not be any. As a result, people will pay the regular fare 2 cents per mile or stay at home. A month, or more ago, It was thought that possibly a rate of one fare and half might possibly be made for the round trip to all who had a desire to go visit ing, or go away from home to spend the holidays . with friends. However, the Western Passenger association took the matter up, threshed It all over and d elded that the regular, every day rates would stand.

(lose Is Selected as A tee Presi dent rhlllp Totter Treasurer Row Over tae Pro posed hiaea. K. Buckingham was elected president of the Omaha Field club by the board of directors Friday night. C. A. Uosa was chosen vice president. Fiililp Potter was re-elected treasurer and J. W. Hughes was re-elected secretary. The action taken at the annual nieM. Ing of members Wednesday night in recommending that the directors abolish Junior membership has aroused a storm of protest among those who were not present. They say only a few members we're present at the meeting and the action takn does not represent the sentiment of the majority of tlie club. They have asked th.it the directors take no action In the matter without calling a meeting of the entire membership of the club to discuss it. Home of the directors have practically given assurance that the meeting will be called. An exciting time Is expected. as many mn with families are consul -eiahly Incensed over that attempt to deprive their children of the privileges of the clnh, saying the scheme originated in the minds of "childless cranks" and old "cranks," whose children have grown up. At present fons -if mombers are al lowed the privileges of the club It they are under IT, on payment of 111 a year. If over 17, they have to pav full member ship foes and dues. Junior members. however, are supposed not to be on the dance floor on regular club dance night nor to play golf on Saturday., Sundays and holidays. leaders of the. movement to abolish Junior memberships say the boys have disregarded these restrictions and that the younger girls have been dancing with each other, crowding members otf the floor. hicf Donahue May Be Called to Help in Dynamiting Case Chief of Pol'ce lVmahue received a let ter today from District Attorney John IV Fredericks of Los Angeles, saying that he Ortle McManigal confession would be forwarded later and that Chief Donative probably will be railed upon to assist in tho further Investigation of the dyna miting .cases. v It Is probably that Chief Donahue will e summoned to Los Angeles, according o the letter from Mr. Fredericks.

A representative of the Orpheum Thca ter company, with power of attorney to sell ,that part of the .company's property lying between the Orpheum theater and Harney street, lk Iri Omaha In conference With George Barker, who has made an offer for the -property. It Is understood , In the local real es tate -world that an agreement has been reached as to price; and the only thing that la now delaying the consummation of the deal Is failure to come to terms over the passage leading from Harney street, through the other building, Into the thea ter. The theater company does not want to give up the Jlarney street entrance, and has obtained perpetual easement on It by reason of having used It, rent free, for more than ten years, during the most of which time It did not own the prop erty. Mr. Barker and the theater represen tatlve have been closeted' for part of two days in an effort to reach an agreement on the passage that will satisfy both sides. .
