TO SELL HALFOF POOR FARM
Such is the Scheme of John Lynch,
County Commissioner.
WOULD USE THE OTHER HALF
Think Cnnntr Omnia lienlUe Jtent
Sam lr Selling l'nrt of th Tract
Off In City Lot for Ile!
denoe I"arpoe.
Troposat to retain one-half of tho
county's 16-acre hospltat and poor farm
tmct and to hold the other half for oa'e
In city lota will be made to the board of
oommlas loners by Commissioner Lynah
irhen the board meets. Mr. Lynch wants
to us sixty acres for a poor house and
form and twenty acres for a hospital
and grounds, holding the other eighty
Acres until the market takes an upwaid
trend and then soiling it In lots.
"Rather than sell the present ground
to real estate men for them to exploit
and make money out of and then buy
other land for a county farm, I want to
use the ground wo hnve fdr the farm and
let the county make something on the
Mile of what vro don't need," said Mr
Lynch. I think we ahould keep tho eighty
acres west of the tracks permanently foi
the count, take tho south sixty acred
.for a poor house and form and the north
twenty for the hoepttol. We could build
A poor ohuse for 110,000 and sixty ocr,s
-would be plenty for tho poor house In
flates to farm. This would be more
economical than buying ground for a
farm farther out. Then we could keip
the hospital whore It Js. The crowded
condition of tho hospital would be re
lieved with the poor removed to tne
farm. Experience has proved It Is unsat
isfactory to have tho hospital and poor
house together. Tills would separate
them. There could bo a superintendent of
the hospital and a superintendent of the
, farm, who would see that tho poor
obeyed the rules. Tho poor should be kept
tat the farm and not allowed to go down
town and beg nnd get drunk. Since
etorlea have been printed about condi
tions at the hospital and poor houso
feeing eo bad, lota of "the Inmates have
coma to town and to South Omaha and
jrone around begging.
The eighty on the east side of the
tracks, I think, should be out up Into lots
and sold. Figuring six lots to tho acre
there are 480 lots there. With the market
favorable they could be sold for II, W0
a piece. This would bring In $720,000. Some
nearest to tho tracks might not sell to
lilgh.

TWO MULES GORED BY BULL
Mystery as to Death of the Mules
is Finally Solved.
THOUGHT SHOT' BY SOLDIERS
Orrner Appenr Jnnt In Time to See
the sroond 3Inlr Killed by the
Ferocious Hull When
IlnahrU Into Corner.
The mystery of who killed Foster &
Ccmo's mules has been solved and John
C, Olson has been sued In the Sarpy
county court for the sum of 5S0, the al
leged value of two mules, now deceased.
Nor did Mr. Olson have a hand In the
killing of tho mules. Foster & Como of
Omaha, contractor, placed thirty-nine
mules In Olson's pasture for the winter
agreeing to pay 12 per month per head
for tholr keep. When they went out to
see how they were coming on they found
one mule dead In the corner of the pas
ture with a great hole In his breast.
Olson was asked to explain. Ho knew
nothing of tho killing. As he Uvea only
a short way from Fort Crook.he ventured
the "guess that the mule had been struck
by a stray cannon ball from the target
practice from Fort Crook, The con
tractors came back to Omaha with the
mystery resting heavily upon them. A
few dais later one member of the firm
made another trip to the farm to see the
mules. Hardly had he come In sight
of th pasture when he saw the entire
herd of mules running at full speed up
the slope. The next Instant he saw
Olson's great red bull with wicked horns,
hot on the trail of the mules. Ills speed
was good and he kept close on the heels
of the herd. In the corner of the pasture,
where they were forced to turn, the
furious bull caught the hindmost and
gored him to death before the very eyes
of the contractor. Hence the suit In the
Sarpy county court.
Builders Object to
Form ofWater Bill
The ' Omaha Building Owners' and
Managers' association adopted a resolu
tion protesting against the form of state
the Water board Is now sending to con
sumers. They authorized the public ser
vice committee of the organization to
present their objections to the Water
board.
The building owners and managers ob
ject to the new form of bills because the
bills make It practically Impossible to
tell what property the debts ore against.
The committee reported that muoh con
fusion In accounts has resulted In tho
adoption of the new form.

t
RAILROADING IN MEXICO
IS AN UNPLEASANT TASK
Traveling Freight and rasscnger Agent
Slogan of tho El Paso & Southwestern
Railroad company, with lines running
from Tuscon, Ariz, down to Tucunconle,
Mox., a dlstanoo ot nearly BOO miles, Is
In town and says he finds railroading In
Mexico anything but a profitable and
pleasant occupation.
According to M. Horgan, the 151 Paso
& Southwestern is out of tho zona ot
the present revolution at this tlmo, but
all last summer when the former revolu
tion was running, the Moxlcans held al
most complete control. First the country
and the railroad would be in the posses
slon of the federalists and perhaps tho
following day tho rebels would be run
ning things.. Frequently the rails wore
pulled up and trains turned Into the
ditch. People were afraid to travel, and
n a result, business went to the bad over
that portion of tho road within the Mexi
can lines.
Mr. Hogan would not express an opin
ion aa to when the present revolution
would be over, or what would be tho re
sult, adding:
Those Mexican .revolutions aro pecu
liar things. The may be. going at full
lilt ono day and completely squelched the
next, or they may run along for months.
This time there has been no hard fight
ing over in our country, but no one can
Jell when hostilities will begin."

Gov. Hadley Says
Missouri Ranks
as a Progressive
"Yes, we are reasonably progressive In
Missouri, although we aro not exceed
ing the speed limit." sad nx-Oovernor H.
S. Hadley of Missouri at the Hotel Loyal.
This comment he ventured after men
tioning the fact that Missouri was among
tho states that have ratified both the
Income tax amendment nnd tho amend
ment providing for tho direct election of
senators.
Governor Hadley would not express
himself on the question of single tax
which was defeated In Missouri by a
large vote last fall when It enmo up In
that state as a proposed amendment to
the state constitution. lie said, however,
that the single tax proposition, coming
up as an Issue In a campaign, had done
ono good thing and thai was that It got
thepeople talking about taxation In gen
erafa Governor Hadley would not. discuss
presidential possibilities for four years
from now. Tho Mlsnourl executive, who
led the Roosevelt fight on the floor ot
the republican convention In Chicago,
had nothing to say about tho big bull
mooser's chances four years from now.
When told that John O. Yelser and
twenty-four of his friends had filed the
name of Roosevelt In Nebraska for the
republican nomination for 1910, the gov
ernor smiled and said, "Yelser, Yelser, I
believe he Is the man that filed my name
for vice president once, when I afterward
withdrew It"

delinquency of two small sons of J. J.
Markoy of South Omaha, was held for
trial In district court In S250 ball by
County Judge Crawford,
The specific charge Is that Rolph per
mitted tho baj'B to purchase chances on
a "punch board," which tho Juvenile
authorities say Is a game of chance, Mr.
Rolph said the board the boys punchod
was one In which there were no blanks.
Tho boys were frequenters lof his store
and ho and his wife had formed on at
tachment for them because they wore
gentlemanly little fellows. He explained
that the punch boards merely Increaso
sates, the dealer making no greater per
ccht ot profit by their use than If he
should soli the same quantity ot goods
outright.
Probation Officer McAuley tcstlflod
against Rolph, but sold the druggist had
been Very frank in telling him all about
tho case and ho was not anxious to have
him prosecuted.
