PRACTICAL JOKER IS ABROAD President Mohler
Orders Extension
Eesidents of West Harney Street
,. Are Continually Stirred Up.
CALL ON POLICE FOR HELP
Troable of Morlts Meyer, Rrcoaated
Before, is Oaly Part of the Grief ,
AVhlrfc Comes to Those Who
Bear Blaat of Jokes.
Mortis Meyer Is really and truly mad
now.
The other day, when several cases of
beer and a few less freesers of ice cream,
which he did not order, were left on his
porch he was surpr sed. The next day,
when several dry cleaning establishments
M'-it a wagon to collprt some clothes of
which he knew nothing, he was peeved,
but when he was routed out of bed to
answer a telephone call Sunday night
aijuui Jl o'c.otk, lui became Irate. .
Now he Is on the warpath, lie han
put the matter In the hands of detectives
and Is backed by about six other neigh
bors who have been annoyed In the same
manner.
Early yesterday morning Mr. Meyer was
awakent-d by the Incessant ringing of his
door bell. He answered It "I'm from
Dresner's; Where's that clothing you
wanted cleaned?"
Mr. Meyer thought for a while and then
counted ten and managed to squeeze out
a near-polite retort such as this: "You
get out of here In a hurry or I will "
Mr. Meyer Is not the brunt of All those
Jokes," however.
. Early last week W. H-.Platner of the
Ptatner Lumber company received a tele
phone call.
"Is this Mr. PiatnerT'
"yes." -
Calls for Minuter.
'"Well, you are a member of the First
Mthodist church and this Is Mrs. J. J.
Davey. Will you call the minister from
your church and tell him to hurry over to
my place, as a friend of mine It dying?''
"Woll, the minister of my church Is out
of town, but call up the minister of the
HaiiHcom Park church, and he may come
or."' "
' In a short while Mrs. Davey. met a
clergyman coming up her front steps and
when she heard his mission, to say she
vas surprised would not, explain It "I
guess you have tho wrong number," was
her explanation.
r Saturday the telephone In Mrs. N.' 8.
Durkee's home at S33U Howard street was
disconnected. She could not get an out
wire and Inquired over a neighboring
'phone what the reason was. Her answer
was this: '
, "Why Frank J. Norton of 3345 street
ordered it taken out"
Mrs. Durkee Immediately hied herself
to Norton's home. A stormy session was
averted when Mr. Norton replied that he
had not called the telephone company and
knew nothing about the matter. It then
dawned on both parties simultaneously
what was up.
' Mr. Norton and his wife called . on
Charles Israel and his wife at 523 Dewey
avenue Sunday night and about t a
taxi stopped in front of the tatter's home.
"Here's your taxi, Mr. Israel," sung out
the driver. '- ' .
"I never ordered a taxi," cams the reply
from the recesses of a dark plaisa.
Phillip Schwarts, 8328 Harney, has had
a taxi stop in front of bis home twice In
the lust two days. He has not ordered
them.
The answer to air this is that seven
citizens in the neighborhood of Thirty
third and Harney streets have taken up
arms against a sea of trouble and are
strongly contemplating tho calling out of
Uncle Sam's troops and the state militia
and start a civil war against everybody
In general and no one in particular.
of Union Pacific
President Mohler of the Union Pacific
has returned from the west, having ac
companied Judge Loyett, chairman of
the executive committee of the -Harrlman
roads, as far as Yellowstone park. The
Judge Is making a tour of the park for
the first time. -
All over the Union Pacific country, says
President Mohler, conditions are Ideal
and crops are Immense. At no point is
there a failure, or even a shortage.
With the return of President Moh'.er
comes the authorization of an extension
of ten miles on the Kearney and North
port line up the North Platte valley. The
extension will be from Gering to Mitchell,
an inland town In Scott's Bluff county,
south of Scott's Bluff. It Is probable
that the extension will be completed and
In operation this fall. It passes' through
a rich agricultural section, all under irri
gation. ! i j
Training in Crafts
is Being Extended
to All the Schools
Practically every school in the city will
be equipped with a manual training de
partment when the fall terms opens
September 9. The Board of Education
, ordered Central Park, Caatellar,
Long, Kellom and Saratoga equipped
with manual . training paraphernalia,
which, establishes this branch of Instruc
tion in all city schools with the exception
uf a few In the outlying districts.
Two ' or three schools were equipped
.with manual training departments 'aut
jcar and teachers were hired to lake
charge of the work. Half a dosen teach
ers were also trained in this work with
a View to widening the scope of tho In
struction. . . - ;
Miss Helen Thompson, who had charge,
of the training teachers In the manual
training course, graduated a. class of
eight as follows: Bertha Elsasser,
Flanagan, Anna James, Jennie Jcssop,
Elizabeth Long, Florence Maynard, Mary
flood and Catherine Whistler.
From these the necessary number to
handle the classes In the schools Where
new departments have been Installed will
be selected before the fall term begins.
President Holovtchlner of the Board of
Education and Superintendent, Gaff say
the equipment for manual training has
been much improved during the summer,
new material and better tools having
been secured.
CODNTY TAXLEYY REDUCED
Economy is Watchword Promulgated
by Douglas Commissioners.
ALL EXPENSES TO BE TRIMMED
State Levy is Reduced One Mill and
-with Other Economical ' Mea
sures Tax Will He lied need
Three Mill.
Reduction of at least 2 mills In the
county tax levy, to bo made Saturday,
was agreed upon by tho Board of County
Commissioners In committee meeting yesterday-
A greater reduction will be made if pos
sible, but the board Is determined upon
cutting down the levy at least 2 mills
from last year. '
The state tax levy this year Is reduced
1 mill, from 6.2 mills to 8.2 mills. This,
with the county's reduction of 2 mills,
will make a total reduction for county
and state of 3 mills and the Board of
Education and the city council may In
crease tho cut.
Last year's' county levy was 17 mills.
It produced $(4.3S,. If this year's levy
is an even 2 mills lower It will produce
approximately $t75,000, only about 210,000
less than was produced last year by a
levy 2 mills higher. The explanation of
this is that the actual valuation of prop
erty lj the county was Increased $25,000,000
and the assessed valuation $5,000,000 by
the county equalization board.
Practice Rigid Economy,-
The commissioners believe that by prac
ticing rigid economy they will be able to
manage the county's' business and take
care of the large expense of maintenance
of the new county building with $10,000
less money than la being used this year.
The reduction will be made principally
In the road and bridge funds. Last year
the total levy for the roads, bridges and
emergency bridge fund was 4.09 mills;
this year It will be about 2.0 mills.
, A month ago County Commissioners
Lynch and Elsasser started ' the move
ment for a lower levy and the other
commissioners accepted the proposition
and joined In figuring out ways for re
ducing expense.
- As a result of the reduction In road and
bridge funds there will be almost but not
quite so much money to expend on roads
and bridges next year, while there will
be more for other department.

Against Mashers
The police have started a crusade
against the "masher," and all arrested
fill be fined $23 and costs In police court

insulting remarks to three different
tvdmen at Sixteenth and Chicago streets.
Pearl Adams, 702 North Eighteenth street,
who was Insulted by Polls, had Officer
Ferris arrest him.
When Police Magistrate coster fined
Polls $25 and costs he said this would.be
tne minimum fine for this charge. He
warned Polls be would give him several
months In the county Jail If he was ar
rested again on this charge.
"The only way we can put a stop to
these 'mashers is for the women to ap
pear against them in police court," said
Jude Foster. "I would urge all women
who have been the object of slurring re
marks made by these loungers on the
streets to swear out a complaint for their
arrest and prosecute tha case."

Recent Heavy Bains
Avert Car Shortage
' The recent heavy and frequent rains
have had much to do with furnishing A
complete solution of the car shortage In
the grain growing area - of the , central
west These rains have practically put
an end to threshing for the present' and
as a result no grain to speak of has been
going Into the elevators along the llnej
of roads. The roads .have had enough
cars to take out the grain already re
ceived, and consequently, according to
railroad men, a large portion of the ele
vators In Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa and
South Dakota are nearly empty.

Writes Check for Institution That
Bears His Father's Name.
OLD MORTGAGE IS WIPED OUT
Job a Dale, Who Has Dane Mocb
Toward Putting' Memorial on
Its Feet Makes Iaterest-
iaST Remarks.
Jubilee services were held Sunday night
at Diets Memorial church. Tenth and
Pierce streets, In honor of the lifting of
the heavy debt under which the church
has been burdened for years.
A mortgage of $10,000 has stood against
tha church -for a number of years.
Through the persistent efforts of John
Dale, one of the oldest members and
hardest workers, $5,000 of this was raised,
when Gould DIotz, whose father's name
the church bear, wrote Mr. Dale a
check for $5,000 more In order to complete
the amount required to lift the debt.
Dr. C. M. Dawson spoke on the past
history of the church. He reviewed lis
history from the day when it was known
as the South Tenth Street church, through
the days when It was known as the South
Omaha Methodist, and up to the present
Dleta Memorial.
Rev. J. Franklin Haas spoke of the
present of the church, saying It now had
131 members and that the church records
had undergone a thorough house-cleaning,
so that these 131 members were actually
bonafide members and not merely mem
bers in name. If all the members were
vigilant and cautious from this on, he
said, that the church could go to the last
quarterly conference with a clean sheet
financially, as there would not be a dollar
of debt against it in any way.
John Dale,' the man to whom U largely
given the credit for the raising of the
$5,000 that prompted the gift of JCho re
maining $5,000, talked of the, work of rais
ing the fund and related some of the
early financial struggles of the church.

Sheep and Cattle
Business on Range
; Should Be Merged
1
Merging the cattle and. sheep raising in
dustries Into one will solve the problem of
the warfare between the cattle men and
the sheep men, according to Laurie Simms
of Torrlngton, Wyo., who Is doing his
part along this line. Simms has cattle
and sheep In Wyoming and Montana, and
he says If every man would run his busi
ness as he runs his, tho bitterness be
tween cattle and sheep men soon would
be, ancient history. "
"You can't blame cattle menjtor hating
a good many fellows . of the class called
'sheep " men.' " said Simms, talking to
some friends here Sunday. "I despise
some of them myself. But you can't
nalie sheep herders any less desplsablj
by kicking them and cuffing them and
classing the good ones with the bad. I
have men working for me with my sheep
that are Just as good men as ever handled
cattle.
r ''There are Just two things to be done
to stop the cattle-sheep trouble: Get good
men for the sheep work and let every
rancher handle sheep and cattle, too.
The cattle man hates the sheep man be
cause when sheep get through with a
piece of ground there Is nothing left for
cattle. - You let sheep grate, a while and
then put cattle on that range and they
will starve to death, the sheep clean
the ground. They get to the very roots
unless ' you keep them moving and get
them off before they have gone that far.
But after the cattle have been on the
range, ! the sheep can go there and get
plenty to eat' The sensible thing to do is
get the cattle on first. Now the sheep
and cattle men fight for the range. If
every man had sheep and cattle, too, he
could keep them moving, first cattle and
then sheep, and everything would be all
right. He wouldn't get Into a fight with
himself."

Because of Storm of Protests

Threat of a referendum forced the city
council to table an ordinance amending
the old prohibitory ordinance against the
establishment of brick, yards within the
city limits. By unanimous vote the coun
cil decided to stop all proceedings and
the ordinance way placed on file.
Objections to this ordinance were made
by Creighton's FlrBt Addition club, which
resolved that it was for the purpose oi
glvln a South Omahan opportunity to
build a brick yard at Thlrty-seveu'.h and
Wright streets. , .
Amendments to the original ordinancs
had been drafted. One of these compelled
brick yards to have chimneys not less
than 100 feet high. Another prohibited
excavation below the established grade
of adjacent streets.
, Mike Hogan, representing Creighton's
First Addition club, was present at the
meeting of the council in committee of
the whole to protest. The council heard
him and upon motion of ' Commissioner
Ryder made the recommendation to place
Che ordinance on file.
Commissioner Ryder said be had visited j
the site of the proposed yard at Thirty
seventh and Wright streets and thought
It was a pretty place, but would ulti
mately be given over to factories. He
said, however, that he was opposed to
any action that would result in an ex
pensive referendum.
Brick makers and the Commercial club
favored the ordinance, which they de
clared would mean more Industries estab
lished here. The discussion ' dragged
through several weeks and it was be
lieved the ordinance would be passed.

' John Smith, the veteran of twenty-nine
years of army service who Is again to
enter the army at 64 in order that he may
complete thirty years of service which
will put him on the retired list, is to be
assigned to one of the companies of in

not shoulder a musket, but will be as
signed to the duty of messenger to the
adjutant general in , the United States
Army building Jn Omaha, a civil service
position which he now holds and has held
for a number of years. He will not

his service under Uncle Sam as a soldier
assigned to a company of infantry, will
be that he will draw the pay of a soldier
during his enlistment instead of the pay
of a messenger, which he has now been
drawing for years.
