With but a few drp spots In the state,
Nebraska wheat conditions look good to
the grain and railroad men. Harvesting
Is well under way In the South Platte
country and according to reports received
at the railroad offices, the quality Is ot
the best and the yield from eighteen to
twenty-five bushels per acre, with many
fields running as high as thirty and
thirty-five bushels.
Iteports to the railroad offices are to
the effect that In Gage, Fillmore, Thayerr

Traveling Freight Agent Clifton of the

the counties along the company lines.
came in rrotn tho west Sunday night and
Is enthusiastic over tho outlook. He says
the only bad spot In Union Pacific ter
ritory Is around Kearney. There, for a
radius of five to seven miles in all di
rections from tho town, on account of
ury weather, the wheat will be light,
though it will probably make better than

The weekly crop report of the Burling
ton Is as optimistic as ever. Superinten
dent Allen estimated tho condition at 103
per cent on tho Omaha and Wymoro
divisions, with a slight falling off on the
Lincoln and McCook divisions.
As to tho soil conditions, Superintend
ent Allen says:
"Conditions east of a lino drawn north
and south through Bloomlngton. Mlnden
and Kearney are very satisfactory for
this tlmo in tho month of June. Soil
conditions are also quite satisfactory
west of McCook in both Nebraska and
Colorado. Between Mlnden and Blooming

west, rain would bo acceptable, al
though tho soli Is still In very good
condition in many places.
"Over the area named. Indlcnttnn am

been 10 per cent.
"On the Lincoln division aerentn nt finr.

where the land Is not especially strong,
tho hot weather of lust week undoubtedly

As to tho corn. Mr. Allen snvs thnt th

Campaign to Lower
Annual Fatality of
the "Doomed Tenth"
The "doomed tenth" the per cent of
the population of the United States which
succumb every year to tuberculosis will
be decreased greatly In the coming year.
says Health Commissioner H. W. Con-
nell, becauso physicians, who are able
to discover Incipient consumption, aro
compelling patient" to take treatment.
'tit Is most difficult .to diagnose this
disease," said Dr. Council, "and it Is
mora difficult to compel a patient to take
treatment, because he Is not feeling very
sick, usually, and obects to resting and
keeping absolutely quiet.
"When the patient becomes too HI to
work his course Is about run and the
people are beginning to realize this.
Bvery consumptive ought to be com
pelled td remain absolutely quiet, breatho
plenty ot fresh air and get lots ot sun
shine and eat only the most nutritious
food.
"There ought to bo no hesitation about
treating such patients, even where there
Is at first some doubt. The disease ought
to be caught at Its very beginning, when
It Is curable. If It Is allowed to run for
a year or two It becomes so dangerous
that It Is more often fatal than other
wise." Dr. Connell says physicians all over
the country are making a strong effort
to stamp out the whits plague and be
lieves they will ultimately suceed. He
expects the death rate from tubercu
losis to be decreased by a large per cent
within tho next two Vears.

George Brooks 'Premature
Clearance Sale Diverts Im
mense Trade on Men's
Summer Suits
"AXE" MADE FAMOUS
"Rather Now Than In July"
Says George Brooks
STYLES MOST TRUE HERE
Ono Omaha Clotlilcr nt Least, Would
Not Submit to He Ruined
y III Kffccte of Chilly
Spring
Of course, the ordinary clothier would
be loathe to admit It, but the fact re
mains nevertheless, that George Brooks,
the clothier In the City National Bank
Building at the corner of 16th and Har
ney Sts., has made tremendous Inroads
upon the business of clothiers In general
during the past few weeks.
The number of suit sales made here
dally Is nothing short of marvelous;
hundreds of economically Inclined onei
who usually put off all clothing pur
chases until "after the 4th of July",
have this year taken proper advantage
of Brook's 'July Reductions In June".
They reckoned that they would be ahead
a full month's wear on their clothes and
they reckoned rightly.
Omaha men are purchasing at unde
niable bargnln figures, sulta of clothes
that bear the Ineffaceable' stamp of
"grade": suits of "class"; suits replete
with "style"; Just the sort of wearables
that nre now nowadays designated as
"nifty".
George Brooks, upon introducing this
Pre-Mldsummer Clearance a few weeks
ago, used as an advertising symbol, a
"Hercules with an Axe" this being
meant to signify that prices would be
cut with all possible strength and that
trade mark has. fclnce become to bo a
matter of vital Interest to Omaha men,
but haa since been a worry to the oppo
sition clothing trade. But no other Oma-
na clothier has yet seen fit to meet
Brooks' cuts on every garment In the
house, all of them preferring to follow
out the time honored custom of waiting
until after "July 4 th".
This week should usher in tho largest
sales record yet made at Brooks; It will
be an extreme effort to thin down all
nttlre stocks to a nothingness Just be
fore tho other fellows get Into tho
papers with tholr "July Sales". And
make up your mind to It that you will
be able to pick up some strong values
here during the next seven days.
The same "Man with the Axe" pro
gramme Is on until further notice, and
prices remain as follows:
Any former 20 Suit in the house may
be had now at only J13.50
Any former 2E Suit In the house may
be had now at only $16.50
Any former 30 Suit In the house may
oe naa now at only $19.50
Any former $30 and $40 Suit In the

House of Hope in
Need of $1,000 to
Get Its New Site
"I need another $1,000 to complete the
payment on the two and one-half acres
of land bought for the site of our new
House of Hope," said Rev. C. W. Sav
ldge, founder and conductor of that
home for aged and disabled people.
"I contracted to give $2,600 for this
property, located at Thirtieth and Scott
streets, Florence, and have paid down
$1,600. I wonder who will help contribute
the balance.
'We are going out to thir larger area
simply because wo have to meet the
growing demands of our hsm The old
Dexter L. Thomas residence Is now filled
and we are besieged with demands from
others who need our help. I think, of
course, It Is generally known that this Is
not a money-making Institution, but one
to help provide homes for old and de
clining men and women. Some ot our
people pay their way. Whero that Is done
It helps us to provide for those unable
to pay, who are In the majority.
".It Isn't necessary, of course, for us
to offer any defense of our work. It has
proved Itself, proved It to the utter sat
isfaction ot some ot the biggest and best
business men tn tho city. So that enables
us simply to ask for the money to seize
tho larger opportunity for doing this
work, which I'm sure God wants done,
