Taft Sentiment is
Growing Stronger
' "Good crops, good prices and prosperity
are, things that the bull moosers of Ante
lope county are having lots of trouble
in contending with," said Frank J. Cald
well of Neligh, who was at the Paxton
over Sunday.
"You hear lots about bull moosers and
going over to Roosevelt, but when you
get down to facts, there is not much In
It. I am not a politician, but I have
traveled out through Antelope county
nearly every day during the last month
and not one In twenty of the republicans
are with the bull moosers. They are lin
ing up with Taft and the regulars to Just
as great an extent as they did four years
ago. There has been several efforts made
to organize a wing of the bull moose
party in our cor-',, hut it has been a
failure. Our.pt J. ;-e prosperous and
satisfied and they ... u willing to let well
enough alone and not go chasing after
strange and new political gods.
"There has been talkthat many of the
republicans would vote for Wilson, but
there Is nothing In this. On the other
hand I know of many democrats who will
cast their votes forJTaft. They do not
believe that the republican party Is right
In all things, but they are growing rich
and do not want to do anything that will
bring about a change. They realize that
they are paying high prices for things
that they buy and they attribute this to
republican party domination and at the
sarnie time they know that they are re
ceiving higher prices than ever before for
their products and they do not want to
be parties , to anything that will result
in changing the situation."
COLORADO RANGE BETTER
AND HERDS COMING HERE
"The Colorado cattle range is better
this summer and fall than it has been in
many years," said J. T. La Casse of
Puebi when in Omaha yesterday. "The
dry and hot weather coming just at .the
right time," he eaid, "has cured grass
in an almost Ideal fashion."
Mr. La Casse says the Colorado range
cattle tr beginning to be shipped out
and while most of the grass fat stock
will, of course, go to Denver, he knews
of several large herds that will come to
the South Omaha stock yards unless the
owners, change their minds shortly.
The question of the shortage of range,
he says, is present in Colorado as well as
elsewhere In the west. The stock men
are being crowded more and more to the
mountain regions. The sheep men, he
says, for the last few years have been
buying up range land in the edge of the
mountains, as they and all the stock
men are realising that the day of the
free range Is over and they must either
own or lease their ranges.

Educational Notes. ,
Philadelphia has joined other cities in
prohibiting fraternities in public schools.
Maine university has graduated fifty
eight women, thirty-eight have married
and Just one-half married their college
mates or members of the faculty.
The first school day In Chicago, Sep
tember 3, brought 243.385 children to the
public schools. Of this number 17,585 were
enrolled In the high schools and 225,500 In
the elementary schools.
Two hundred children of the hill dis
tricts of Pittsburgh, on being assigned to
schools In their respective district, struck
against being assigned to schools patron
lied chiefly by "aliens and negroes." In
former years children In these districts
were permitted to attend schools where
associations were more agreeable. Abro
gating this rule caused the trouble.
"First of all," says a write In Leslie's,
"the girl who goes to college must re
member that the initial Impression which
she, makes determines very largely her
happiness or unhappiness for the first
few weeks. Above all things, she should
not arrive in an elaborately trimmed suit,
a be-plumed hat and pumps. Such things
may be suitable for rare occasions at
home, but they find practically no place
in the outdoor wardrobe of the well-bred
college woman. The plain tailored suit
cut on good lines, a tailored hat to match
and neat shoes create an Impression of
quiet, good taste and appropriateness.
This keynote of simplicity should be
recognized throughout her wardrobe."
TRAFFIC CHIEF M'VANN
BACK FROM CONFERENCE
E. J. McVann, manager of the traffic
bureau of the Comerclal club, returned
yesterday from St. Joseph, Mo., where
he attended a conference of representa
tives of the Missouri river cities. Those
in the conference were: H. G. Wilson of
Kansas City. H. G. Krake of St. Joseph,
George T. Bell of Sioux City and E. J.
McVann. -
The conference was held for the pur
pose of sifting evidence in rate cases
recently taken in Omaha and other cities
by an agent of the Interstate. Commerce
commission. The cases were wrought be
fore the commission agent in the hope
that better freight rates from Missouri
river points to Colorado common points
and intermediate territory' might be se
cured.. Thousands of pages of testimony were
gone over to extract essential facta upon
which to base arguments for the brief
to be filed with theN commission. The
brief Is to be In the hands of the com
mission by September 15.
Mr. 'McVann says it Is clearly under
stood by everyone concerned that the
traffic Interests upon the Missouri river,
Sioux City to Kansas City, are a unit
In the traffic matters pertaining to their
interest). ... .
After renowned physicians In Europe
had failed to give relief to Mrs. Chris
Jorgenson, 32 years old, who Is the wife
of a dairyman living at 2115 Military ave
nue, It remained for two prominent
Omaha surgeons to perform yesterday
morning at the Wise Memorial hospital
what they believe to be a successful
operation.
Mrs. Jorgenson has suffered for sev
eral years from a tumor on the brain.
Recently it pressed against the skull, and
when she sought relief from local sur
geons she could find none who would
take the case. They told her that she
would have to submit to what is known
as a decompression operation, which Is a
delicate bit of surgery with the chances
ten to one against recovery. . This opera
tion has been tried heretofore three times
unsuccessfully In Nebraska. Infrequently
elsewhere. The surgeons told the patient
that she would have to go to Berlin for
relief, where, as a rule, the operations
have been more successfully conducted.
No Relief in Europe.
With her husband she made the trip,
but when she arrived In Europe she
found the decompression operation
tabooed In foreign melical circles. Physi
cians treated her, but afforded no relief.
When she returned to Omaha she retired
to the Wise Memorial hospital, where
she found two surgeons who would at
tempt the operation and whose reputa
tions made them worthy of a tr'al.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Jorgenson was
placed under anesthetics and a piece of
skull three and one-half inches in dia
meter cut off. This piece will be kept
off permanently the physicians say and
will be replaced by a plate.
With the head opened the surgeons
sewed up the muscles and skin and
stopped until they can locate the tumor.
They say next Saturday morning the
growth on the brain will be removed.
The physicians . who performed the
operation are exceedingly reticent about
publicity and it wax only upon the pruiti
Ire that the names would not be pub
lished that they consented to talk.
One Chance to Save Life.
"Compression Is a dangerous operation
f?w surgeons will try," said one of them.
"We attempted It because It waa the only
possible chance to save the patient's life.
Sh Burely would have died within a
week without It. At this time I cannot
say that the operation will be success
ful, but from the looks of it, It seems as
if recovery Is possible. It has been found
in unsuccessful operations of a similar
nature that the patient generally dies
within a half hozen hours. At this time
Mrs. Jorgenson's condition is greatly im
proved and I really think that 'she has
a fair chance for life. If the patient con
tinues to improve we will take the tumor
off next Saturday, by which time she
will have regained some of her lost
strength."

Although the police and sheriff's de

boot-legging resort in Omaha some time
or other during the last six months. Jack
Sutherland's place, across the street from
police headquarters at Eleventh ' and
Dodge streets, escaped unscathed until
last night.
However, last night proved Its undoing
when Sergeants Madsen and Rusael and
Detectives Ring, Van Duesen, Dunn and
Kennelly entered the place. Fifteen in
mates and the proprietor were taken, be
tildes a quantity of beer. '
The place is right under the sidewalk,
dug In the form of a cave, and only the
merest chance last night lea to Its dis
covery by the police. Sergeant Madsen
noticed three men walk in behind a reloon
buildintr and disappear. Thinking that It
was an attempt at burglary, he called
several other officers and followed. After
gqlng up two flights of rickety stairs and
then down four flights into a sub-cellar,
and then up another "flight, they found
themselves facing a trap door with a
peep-hole and electric bell on it. The
officers pushed the button and when the
doorkeeper opened the door they all
rushed In.
' Sergeant Madsen says the place Is with
out windows and absolutely , no kind of
ventilation, and for that reason no noise
ever reached the outer air.
The same officers then visited the T. R.
Andersen saloon at Sixteenth and Chicago
streets, where three inmates were taken.

Meningitis Kills
the Horses Fast
"Out of ten horses on my place, I have
lost three within the last two weeks, all
dying of meningitis," said A. C. French,
a farmer living near Riverton, In Frank
lin county, who registered over Sunday at
the Merchants. .
"Neighbors around me have lost a good
many of their horses and over In Smith
county, Kansas, the losses have been
heavier than with us. The disease Is by
no means, epidemic nor does It seem to be
spreading. Ko far as we have been able
to discover, there Is no remedy that will
save a horse when once afflicted. After
the disease becomes apparent the animal
may live a week, but more frequently not
to exceed three days and often death
comes within twelve hours. The first sign
Is when the horse gets off its feed. . For a
few hours It stands around, sort of dump
ish and then it Is attacked by a stiff neck.
Frequently the head will be drawn until
the nose of the animal points out almost
horlisontal with the body. Almost Imme
diately the aplne seems to become the seat
of the disease and the animal will hardly
be able to move. In many Instances there
Is a slight running at the nostrils and oc
casionally a hacking cough.
"It Is hard to tell how the meningitis, as
it Is called. Is contracted. I know of one
man who had several colts running In a
pasture and since early last spring they
have not come In contact with other
horses, yet a month ago two of these
colts died on the same day and since then
not one of the others has developed any
s'gn of the disease,"
PUPILS TO ESCAPE HOT DAYS
This is Flan of Superintendent Graff
and Principals. i

Will Agree I pon Trmperatsre Wken
- School Will Close,- Bellevlar
Pupils Derive o Benefit
from Stody Then.
Superintendent E. U. Graff will discuss
with the principals of schools the ad
visability of dismissing school during real
hot days.' Superintendent Graff believes'
rtudents are unable to study to advantage
when the weather Is exceedingly hot, and
It Is also his opinion that the child Is
physically harmed by being compelled to
remain at , his desk during sweltering
weather. .
It 1s the plan of the superintendent and
his prlnc'pals to agree upon a temperature
and when the thermometer reaches that
point all schools will be dismissed.?
. This procedure is. be:ng -considered be
cause the September weather this year
Is unusually r.-arm. and as school begins
tomorrow many hot days may be ex
pected. " '
Students are unanimous In endorsing the
superintendent's plan. Their vacation,
they my, waa all too short, anyway, and It
Is "notion' but fair 'to dismiss when the
weather Is so hot that a fellow can't
study."'' . .. ., . : ..
; Many of the old schools, are not very
well ventilated and teacheri have learned
from experience that a class derives little
or ho benefit from recitations during the
hottest school days.
The new buildings, two of which were
completed this summer and are ready for
srhool tomorrow, are wisely arranged
with well ventilated and well ' lighted
rooms, which may exempt them from the
plan the principals and the superinten
dent are attempting to work . out.
Burgess Returns
From Trip Abroad
. "American tourist travel Is as heavy
this summer as In former seasons," said
W. J. Burgess, former lessee of the
Brandcts theater, who returned with Mrs.
Burgess yesterday morning from a two
months' visit In Europe. In the opinion
of Mr. Burgess the Titanic disaster has
in no wny affected ocean travel con
ditions. . '
When asked about the attitude of Lon
don merchants towards the American
shopper, Mr. Burgess replied that the
store keepers there ,were extremely our
teous. "One may go Into the shops In
London and wander about without mak
ing a single purchase and when through
may be escorted to the door by the
head floorwalker and thanked for ; In
specting the goods," said Mr. Burgess. .
i Mr. and Mrs. Burgess were In Europe
for two months, visiting points In Eng
land, France and Swltxerland. They re
turned on the Campania, which had a full
passenger list from Liverpool to New
York. ' . .
