A8d21t Persistent Advertising is the Road to Big Return. Possibility that In Case Big Sam is Expended the Missouri River Will soon Eat tt Away Again. The encroachments, of ' the Missouri river near Honey creek last spring, which ate away the land upon which stood several miles of expensive levee that was built a few months previous, will entail a cost of more than $3,000 upon the farmers, whose lands were protected by the embankment if the section that has disappeared Is to be replaced. County Surveyor Spetman, in obedience to the instructions of the Board of County Supervisors, made resurveys and has re ported to the board thai the cost for the new bank and additional right of way will be IS, 134.25. The supervisors yesterday went to Logan to confer with the Harrison county board concerning some jo'nt drainage ditch matters. and made a de tour for the purpose of inspecting the broken levee. They will take Ui the matter today and determine, Its solution. In his report, the engineer advises against the reconstruction of (he levee on what remains of the old right-of-way. declaring that there are no assurances tfhat the river will . not continue cut ting and absorb the land upon' which It may be built. He pointed out that the current might return to Its destructive work this year or the channel might remain at Its present location' for : the next ten years. If a new right-of-way Is decided upon the work of repairing 'the levee will be delayed for a long time and cannot be completed this season. New commission ers will have to be appointed to appraise the land to be used and it will then have to be condemned in the usual formal way, followed by a hearing of all in terested and a reassessment of benefits. The encroachments of the river on the valuable farm lands in the territory north of Crescent 'is causing considerable apprehension among the owners that the channel of the river "is being diverted to the Iowa side by a bar that is form ing on the Nebraska shore several miles above the -point of present attacks and that the bar has been artificially pro duced by Douglas county farmers. The river current is manifesting a disposi tion to bend toward the Iowa side for a long distance In the vicinity of Cres cent and Honey creek and the farmers are talking of some plans to arrest it. The government may be asked to try the experiment of constructing wing dams on the Iowa side. Minor Mention Council Bluffs Office of The Bee is at 14 ITOBT Mala St. Telephone 43.

Albert Wallace, an Omaha speeder, was In police court yesterday morning. His case was continued until next Monday, a bond of Jf7.85, put up the previous evening, being eurety for his appearance. E. 1 d. Cowles has commenced suit against the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific railroad for $iifi.4A. the value of a bos of merchandise, which he shipped from Los Angeles. Cal., to Oklahoma City, Okl., early In 1910. and which he claims was returned to Los Angeles and sold by the railroad company. The plain .tiff states that the box contained about 700 oil and water color paintings,, as well as other articles of value. Next Sunday at Athletic park. Broad way and Thirty-fourth streets, there will be a novelty In a base ball game when the nine composed of actors from the Hagenback-Wallace circus will tsrckle the Council Bluffs Merchants. The circus performers are said to have a fast team and are playing winning ball. They ought to draw the fans. The game will start at 3:S0 o'clock. The Imperials will play the RAmblers as a preliminary game.. An Italian laborer, who Insisted his name was Ed. Dixon, was sent to jail yesterday for five days on a chaige of Intoxication and carrying concealed weapons. When picked up by a police officer he was very drunk. When searched at the station a big revolver with all chambers loaded and fifty extra cartridges were found in his pockets. When he Is released from Jail he will find that his equipment has been legally confiscated. Treynor, which has the distinction of being the only town in the county out side of Council Bluffs to have a saloon, is also to have a drug store equipped with permission to sell Intoxicating liq uors for medicinal and other purposes if trio onilHmHnn nf Irn f) Redman, a .pharmacist. Is approved. He ha pro ceeded as required by law to file ap plication In the district court for such a permit and it will be heard at th? beginning of the September term of court. Mr. Redman was formerly in the drug business at Malvern. Mile Bjegovio, the Austrian youth, who was held by the coroner's Jury to answer for the murder of his fellow countryman, Sigovic, at Weston, was rrralgned In the district court yesterday on the charge of murder. The overgrown 17-year-old youth ha now become badly frightened and apparently forgot the little English he knows and appeared wholly to fall to grasp the meaning of the proceeding. Under the circumstances County Attor ney Capcll refused to press the arraign ment until an Interpreter can be secured. It is expeoted that the Omaha Austrian w-ho acted at the inquest can be seoured and the arrignment will proceed this morning. The funeral of Bruce Baughn, who died at bis home, four mil northwest of descent on Tuesday afternoon, will be held from the residence at 3:30 thjs af ternoon. Mr. Baughn was 83 years old. and nearly . all of his life was spnt In Council Bluffs. His death was due to cancer, which developed through a pe riod of two .years. A number of people from Council Bluffs will attend the funeral: His brother, . William Baughn, late mayor of -Harlan, eame here yee terdav. The funeral services will be con ducted by Rev. Edgar Price of the First Christian church, of this city, The body will be. brought here for burial, and will be laid In the family plat in Walnut Hill cemetery. The family of Frank Miller were aroused from their sluep about 1 o'clock yesterday morning to discover their home at Thirteenth street and Third avenue In flames. Although It was only a one-story building they barely had time to get outside without stopping to dress. They stood around In their night clothes and saw the house burn with all of its contents. When the firemen arrived they found the nearest fire plug too far away to be reached.- The stream from the chemical had no effect upon the tire and the building was entirely destroyed. A bucket brigade composed of firemen and neighbors prevented the destruction of a small barn that stood on the premises. The house and contents were Insured for 700. The funeral, of John H. Stewart, who was killed by a train near Dlmock. 8. D., was held yesterday afternoon at the Woodrlng chapel. It was under the auspices of the Eagles and was largely attended. . The handsome casket was covered by. the floral offers "provided by the Eagles and contributed by others. Mrs. Day and Miss Miller sang "Tarry With Me." "Rock of Ages" and "Home Sweet Time Somewhere." The services were conducted by Rev. Edgar Price, pastor of the First Christian church. The pallbearers were all members of the Eagles, and was one of the many other special marks of respect paid by the order to the memory of their dead com isde. They were. P. Donohue. Perry Lavenburg, W. D. Hooper, John Happy, J. M. Voss. and J. F. Osborne. Burial was in the Walnut Hill cemetery. Unless he has been shamefully maligned and actually libelled, County Auditor Hannan has an appetite that Is larger than his heart, which is reputed to be the chief part of his anatomy. A few days ago Hannan accompanied the Board of County Supervisors on a business trip through the east end of the county in specting bridges Arid drainage ditches and an Avoca paper says Supervisor True entertained his fellow members and Han nan at dinner near Avoca. The news paper say HSnnan's dinner consisted of "seven boiled eggs, a bowl of milk toast, four large slice of bread, three potatoes with brown gravy, two apple pies, one pumpkin pie. some buttermilk, piece of pork steak as big as his foot, new apple sauce, two pieces of brown stone cakes, potato salad, four piece of dry toast, two dishes of blackberries and a three-pound channel catfish." The gross weight of the meal was not given, but Hannan only weighs 100 pounds, and there Is grave suspicion that Editor Bey mer has proved himself to outweigh all other member of the Annanlas club and the bull moose leaders. Park Commissioners Graham and Mcuee left last evening for the purpose of attending the annual meeting of the association of park commissioners and superintendents of the United States and Canada which meets in Boston on August 10 to 11 The commissioners will go olrectly from Council Bluffs to Minne apolis where they will, meet the park commissioners of Seattle. Portland, Pan Francisco and other coast cities. The Ame train that carries them will also bear the Kansas park commissioners. At Minneapolis a sort of Informal organiza tion will be formed which will be main tained until after the Boston meeting. The party will be given automobile rides through , the Minneapolis parks and at the Closrf of the day wlH start for Chi cago. One day will be spent in the Windy ,CIty as guests of the commission ers there and they will acquire all or the lnformstion available. From Chi cago they will go to Detroit, spending a few hours Inspecting parks there and will reach Niagara Falls on Friday morning. Several hours will be spent there and they will arrive In Boston Saturday morning. Mrs. Graham and Mrs. McGee decided yesterday that they would also enjoy the trip and will accompany their husbands. The commissioners expect to have a moat pleasant and profitable trip. Painting - Is our business.

Ideal in every respect, occurred yesterday, and, from reports received last evening, ex tended all over the county. The rain fell straight down without breexe enough to deviate a drop or move the foliage of the dripping trees. Between the howcrs J the sun shone brightly with a best that rnade perfect growing condition. The showers were accompanied by sharp elec tric discharges that created some mis chief among wire system. Telephone and light wires were constantly emitting sparks and many phones were put out of service. , The lightning struck .In a number of places, but no material damage was done except a slight Injury inflicted upon one of the tall smokestack at the' Wilcox greenhouses on East Pierce street. A bolt etruck the top of a 120-foot chimney, knocked off some of the brick and made a crack several feet long at the top, but got Into the ground without doing any further mischief. The tall new chimney at the Wilcox plant In pro cess of construction at Manawa, also had a baptism of fire from the clouds. It has Just been finished and for protec tion wss being provided with a lightning rod. The rod ran from the top to the ground, but had not been connected with the grounded section. During One of the showers a ball of fire descended from the clouds and seemed to float for S moment above the chimney, a flame fol lowed and reached from the apex to the ground. The rod carried the heavy charge off without the least damage to the chimney. Battey to Boone to Take Position C. V. Battey, who has had full charge of the sbstract office and books of the Pottawattamie Counts- Abstract company, has announced his resignation to take effect on September 1. Mr. Bsttty hss accepted an offer from Moore A Crooks, bankers nf Boone. la., who have the abstract books of the county. Mr. Battey tees In the offer a promise of future benefits greater than his position here offers and will move to Boone with hts family during the latter part of this month. Mr. ' Battey has earned a reputation through his work In Council Bluffs that has given his company here a stste wide reputation. Abstracts prepared by him won first prlgee in a state contest held In Des Moines some time ago. He was then In competition . wth the best abstract men in the state and the victory was one of great value to him. It caused many offers to be made from other cities In the state and adjoining ststes snd he has finally accepted one that pleases him most. His successor has not been named. Changes were announced yesterday also in the office of the Abstract Title Guar anty company. Dillon. Ross, who has been Its manager since the retirement of Elmer K. Smith snd P. J. McBride. has concluded to devote much of his time pressing his" campaign for county attor ney on the republican ticket. . Freeman L. Reed has been appointed assistant manager apd begin work yesterday. , Hit contract runs for a year and will thus not be effected by the contingencies of the election.

HAZEL CHAPMAN PROVES PRIZE DANDELION DIGGER The cash awards to the children dig ging the ' largest number of dandelions were made yesterday. The Clvlo Im provement association contributed 15 and Mrs. Donald Macrae V. Of this sum 15 was to go to the. girl or boy who col lected the largest amount of the yellow plants, $3 to the one getting tho second greatest quantity and 2 to the child bringing the next largest amount. Mrs, Macrae undertook the big task of receiv ing and weighing the garnered crop and made the awards. The task proved to be an enormous one, and Involved the re ceiving and weighing of more than 1,000 pounds of the plants and keeping ledger account of the transactions. The competition was keen among the boys and girls, but two little girls proved to be the most deadly enemies of "the yellow peril" and won first and second prizes. Hazel Chapman, 10 years old, de livered a little more than 1 000 pounds and won first prize, and It was given to her in gold. Julia Sheratt, about the same age. delivered to Mrs. Macrae 800 pound of seml-drled weeds, but It re mained for Adam Wltzkl, a 12-year-old Jew boy,, to make Bn effort to save the masculine reputation from hopeless ruin by digging up and getting together about BOO pounds. But the girls' are mean enough to say he really traded for ome of the plants. The contests began In June and have progressed vigorously since. Little Miss Chapman . set the pace that killed off most of the com petitors when she delivered seventy pounds on tbe first weighing day and fol lowed It by 135 at the second period. She used a little wagon to make her deliveries and toward the last had to make long Journeys in her efforts to find fresh fields of dandelions lo conquer. The entire campaign appreciably diminished the supply of the pestiferous weeds, and Inculcated a habit of destroying them that will be of great value In the future.

A Merlins; Will Re Held This Kvenlng. at Which Time the Matter Will Be Olaranaed. "We are between the devil and the deep sea." said G. W. Obee, president of the local Ntgro Rusiness Men's league, when discussing the Roosevelt attitude toward the southern colored delegation In the present convention in Chicago. Mr. Obee was the one colored delegate at the bull moose convention In Lincoln last week. Now that the Roosevelt peo ple have refused the southern colored delegates a seat In the Chicago conven tion, he says he cannot tee how his support can go to Roosevelt In the fall election. Mr. Obee pas a meeting of the Col ored Business Men's league lt to be held this evening at ICS South Fourteenth street, at which time some policy for the colored voters of Omaha will probably be outlined, nd a call for a mass meet ing of the colored voters of the city will perhaps be Issued. ttixlon for (rasetlon. Mr. Obee ald that the disfranchising cf the negro In the south had been stead ily going on for a number of years and that the colored people were anxiously looking for a cessation of this. Now that the Roosevelt convention had taken the action It had In the matter of the colored delegate, he was sure they could not look to Roosevelt for relief In the matter of franchise In the south. Mr. Obee says he hss not ss yet fully di gested the situation In Chicago, and that he does not know the detsllt of the rests of contested delegations In which the colored delegations' were barred, but so far as he can learn, Colonel Roosevelt objected to the colored delegstions. be csuse in the republican convention In Chicago a few week ago, the colored delegation stin k closely to their instruc tions snd voted for Taft straight through Ihe convention, Instead of switching to Roosevelt as he had hoped they would do.

A young farmer was complaining because he had so little money. Said a neighbor: "If you dig deep enough in that turnip field next your house, you will find gold."' So all summer he toiled and dug; he had a wonderful crop of tur nips, but found no gold. One day the neighbor met him, looking weary and sorrowful, driving a load of prize turnips to-market. . . . . ; "I see you found your gold," said the neighbor. "Where." said the lad. "There," said the smiling neighbor, as he pointed to the big, round, yellow turnips. The wonderful gold mines of South Africa, the Rand mines, yield $175,000,000 a year. Their discovery startled and thrilled the world. The yearly output of the farms of the uiate of Nebraska exceeds $400,000,000; the total farm population is a little over half a million; the state is not yet half tilled.. This lias not thrilled anybody yet-Ut'B time it did. It is time for the people of Omaha and the: state to wake up and realize that Nebraska is full of gold; that all it needs is to be scientifically and thoroughly and completely cultivated and farmed. Some things are being done in Nebraska and are , well, done. Fortunes are being made by those who are doing good work, using both their brains and their hands.
