Female Prisoners
Kick on Jail Food
A lengthy protest was received by the
health department yesterday from former
female prisoners In the county jail, who
declare the food they have been furnished
Is "not fit for a dog."
This protest was posted at the Union
depot and Is signed by "Mrs. Launson,
Mrs. Dampell, Mrs. White, Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. White, Miss Mason, Mrs. Washing
ton and Mrs. Reed." .
All signatures and the petition are in
the same handwriting, scrawled with a
pencil on a piece of brown wrapping
paper. ,
"I reely do think that the way they
feed the prisoners at the county jail is
ridlculus and the food Impure and realy
not Ct to eat. It alnt fit for a dog, let
alone a haman being.
. "If the people of the city and the
authorities wood take in tress In these
poof prisoners they would be treated bet
ter for it is a pity that human being
half to put up with such for it Is enough
to be behind the bars with nlnty and
sixty days for their ain't a one In here
with any less time. ' '
"That Is the kind of Judge we have and
give them that kind of time for nothing
and then often we get over, here they
starve us to death and give us milk that
Is from a cow that is .ready to have
young ones and the color of the milk is
yellow and If we get sick up here we
never see a doctor aU the matrln gives
us Is pills and salts and just works us
to death and nothing to eat in our stom
ach and I truly hope that some kind one
will look into our lntrest and see that
we get better food."

Past Grand Exalted Ruler Sullivan
Says Baptists Acted Hastily,
UNPLEASANTNESS IS EXPLAINED
Disturbance In Convention City is
Started by Nonmembers and
Police Are Unable to
Cope with Them.
Past Grand Exalted Ruler John P. Sul
livan of the grand lodge of Elks was at
the railway station an hour Monday eve
ning between 8 and 9 o'clock on his re
turn trip from Portland to New Orleans.
R. W. Patrick, exalted ruler of the lo
cal' Elks lodge, together with John ' A.
Rine, Raymond P. Toung and Moses J.
Flynn met him at the station.
In regard 'to the resolutions passed by
a convention of Baptists denouncing the
Elks as an order of unprincipled men,
Mr. Sullivan said this resolution' was
adopted before the Baptists had full
knowledge of the case that prompted ac
tion. A crowd of rowdies took posses
sion of the city one evening while tho
Elks were in session In Portland and
carried the city with a high hand of
lawlessness for a few hours. The police
force could not get officers enough to
gether to stop the trouble at once. The
next day the Baptists, in their assembly,
believing 1 that 1 the ' trouble had been
caused by visiting Elks, drew up the
resolution denouncing the order and ex
pressing the hope that it could event
ually be abolished. Mr. Sullivan said
there were no Elks In the prowd that
stirred up the trouble and produced a
copy of the Portland Oregonlan of July
12, in which a lengthy discussion of the
affair had the following to say In part:
Rlff-Raff Starts Trouble.
"That element was not composed of
Elks or their friends. They were7 only
the riff-raff that always follows in the
wake of any great fiesta. The city had
not. enough officers on the street last
night to maintain discipline."
Sir. Sullivan said this was the best
and most businesslike grand lodge meet
ing that had been held by the Elks. A
special train of 120 Elks from Omaha at
tended the lodge meeting. They have
not yet ail returned as they broke up
out there and will not return by special
train. Many are making side trips before
returning. -5

and Seek to Find Em
ployment for All,
Because of the great number of men

Commissioner Ryder declared his Inten

or leave the city, the commissioner has
decided to start a free employment
bureau, keeping a list of Jobs and job-
seekers. Several men have already been
furnished work.
Mr. Ryder says he will get in touch
with big contractors, manufacturers and
other employes and find out how many
men they can employ and will seek to
furnish the needed help.
Clerks, chauffeurs, railroad men,
farmers, day laborers and even "pro
fessionals" have applied to Ryder's office
within the last three days for work.
Mr. Ryder says he believes that the
state should foster employment bureaus,
maintaining them In cities and towns

effect but failed. j

WHEAT YIELDJSTO BE LARGE
Reports Coming In Indicate Host
Satisfactory Crop.
BEST COUNTIES TO HEAR FROM
I . ss-nsmsma
Reports Are Now In from the Coun
ties Where the Precipitation
Was Liaateat Daring the
Sprinsr Muatths.
Two weeks ago the general manager's
office of the Burlington took steps to
learn at the earliest possible date the
per acre yield of Nebraska's wheat crop.
Notice was sent to the agents In Ne
braska, instructing them to talk with
farmers, grain buyers and elevator men
and from them secure conservative esti
mates ss soon as threshing commenced.
Reports are beginning to come In from
the counties along the south line of
the state and considering the fact that
all of the grain Is reported to be of the
best quality In years, the report is very
satisfactory. The reports are from coun
ties where the precipitation was the light
est and consequently it Is predloted that
over this area the grain will run much
less per acre than farther north.
The counties on which estimates have
been made are: Richardson, IS bushel
to the acre; Pawnee, 23; Johnson, 23;
Gage, SS; Jefferson, 28', Saline, SO;
Thayer, 2S; Fllmore, SO; Clay. SS; Web
ster, 18; Franklin, IS; Harlan, 13; Kear
ney, U; Phelps, 15. f
The reports mention oatt, but no esti
mate Is made en the yield. However, the
agents state that they are turning out
wetl and that the grain Is unusually
heavy. , : , .

How to Protect Hair
and Skin in Summer
Summer months are trying on the hair,
because of the excessive perspiration and
the great amount of dust flying. ' This
dulls the hair and makes It "matty" and
unmanageable, yet it Is easy to restore
the rich color and massy softness and
keep the hair bright and pretty during
the hottest weather by shampooing with
canthrox, a teaapoonful of which dis
solved in a cup of hot water Is enough for
a thorough oloanslng. ,
Oillness, freckles, tan and other com
plexion disfigurements disappear follow
ing the use ot a spurmax lotion. This is
mads by stirring S teaspoonfuls glycerine
Into Vt pint witch hasel (of hot water),
then adding 4 ounoes spurmax. The lo
tion dries quickly, Js invisible when on
and. imparts a delightful tint and velvety
smoothness to the skin. Perspiration will
not spot the spurmax lotion, nor will th
wind blow It off.-AdvV
