H, YES, It's hot, and tho heat hns taken all tho starch out of our
O society folks, or, rather, those of them who aro still hero. But
it's all a question of adjustment to conditions, If what some of my
friends toll mo Is true.
Whllo the mercury In the thermometer was hovering close to tho
hundred mark yesterday tho children at ono of tho neighbors spent tho
afternoon playing that It was winter, and actually made thomselvcs bellevo
that It was snowing outsldo nnd that an Icy blast was blowing through tho
crevices of doors and windows. They went down Into the cellar to put
more coal on the furnace, and huddled up closo togother to keep from
freezing. When tho play game was over they Insisted they woro not warm
at all and that they had been having Just the best kind of a tlmo.
Moral: Lct somo of our sweltering society folks put on a North Pole
stunt That seems to mo to bo the thing for these days of mental suggestion.

Revival of Interest by the building of
the new BJverslde park boulevard In the
sinking of river vessels near Omaha soma
fifty years ago, serves to recall a moit
Interesting boat story that has Its setting
down the Missouri river about nine miles
north of Kansas City, almost due west of
tho little town of Parkvllle, Mq., the site
of Park college.
In tho COs a large steamboat going
from St. Louis to Sioux City struck a
snag and sank. It had on board a cargo
of Kentucky bourbon and boots, shoes,
hats and clothing from St. Louis. It
was never brought to tho surface.
A bit of romance Is woven Into the
story by reason of tho fact that two boys
standing on the river bank at Parkvllle
saw tho boat .go down and one of them
resolved that It would be the purpose of
his life to recover It. In 1898, nearly
half a century later he attempted :o
carry out his resolution. By this time he
was the father of three grown sons and
they had machinery made especially for
tho purpo-ie of "Wssurrectlng the old
steamer. They, first located It by means
Of steel rods. It was then In drv Innri.
rio'r the rrVer had receded and so they
thought they could perform their task
without great difficulty, once they located
the lost vessel, which they fairly do
scribed by means of these rods.
Cnlosonn Sunk.
Tho theory of operation was the sink
ing of caissons fifteen feet In diameter
nnd throwing out tho dirt and water by a
compressed nlr system, which, of course,
nt the samo time forced moisture back
Into the depth and enabled the men to
work under ground. They figured on
covering a radius of some fifteen feet
around thq caisson, thus having to rellft
and sink It but a few times In order to
cr.ver tho surface of the boat.
Their recompense lay In the promts
of a Kansas City wholesalo liquor house
of a vory fancy price for every gallon of.
that Kentucky bourbon brought out.

pentine tho old W cents an nour wo.
The csrDonters asked xor cenv

traetors refused uiem. a sinno un
called and all GO cent men were taken
from their work. Many apartment house
and store building Jobs were anecteo,
but tho contractors went on witn tne
work with the 65 cent men thoy had
Later tho union called some of these men
off the work, together with a number of
foremen, who wore receiving 65 and W
cents an hour.
Tho strike Was not forceful and not
very effective, says Bhelley, and agree
ments were reached whereby tho strikers
went back to work.
R. J. Sollars, secretary of the local
carpenters' union, emphatically denies
that any of his union men have gone
back to work at 60 cents per hour, as I
claimed by Mr. Shelley. '"Some of our
men have gono back to work, to' be sure,
but It has been at 66 cents, wherever
they have gone to work."
Moorhead Estimates
Ten Thousand Have
Registered to Vote
About 1W0 men In round numbers
registered Monday In order to be eligible
to vote at the special county bond elee
tton tor tornado relief, it was tho last
day of registration for those hoping to
vote at that election which takes place
July It. Although the registration books
have not yet been checked up so that
all tho names can be conveniently tabu
lated, It Is estimated at the office of tho
election commissioner that In tho neigh
borhood of 10.000 have registered from
Omaha and South Omaha.
Louis office of the steamship company
showed tho liquor worth but 15 . cents a
gallon In tho 60s, whlch'ls now the price
of ono swallow, but fifty years Is a long
time In tho Itfo of whisky, as any con
noisseur would appreciate and this was
supposed to be extra fine quality by
now.'v
Presently the "boy," now an old man,
struck one of the barrels. Ho Inserted
his syphon. Tho barrel promptly decom
posed nnd so on with every barrel he
struck. Ho had figured up the quantity
of whisky at the price offered and found
that If ho got It nil Into the Kansas
City dealer's warehouse he would have
$17,00o for his trouble.
He didn't get a pint, nor a drop there.
He never even got a taste of the liquor.
All tho barrels Just decomposed and tho
whisky ran out. His venture satisfied
his boylnsh "resolution, but was a dead
expense to him, for though he brought
out lots of the old clothing and shoes and
hats, they wero worthless except as
novelties to put In Kansas City show
windows and even tho novelty soon wore
ff. So far nn lenown the romnanta of
the old boat still llo burled In the sands
of the river bed.

His leRsons were mostly given at the
pupil's residence, and he was reared and
accustomed to the more cultivated things
In life. He retired from active work
about ten years ago.
He Is known to have spent two .healthy
