As has been anticipated, the wire edge

two reservations has worn off to some
goctent, and while the rush will continue
tmtll the lights are turned oft In the reg
istration booths at North Platte. Broken
Sow and Valentine at midnight. Saturday
afght. there are Indication that the dls
Ag, land madness, is abating.
The travel reservatlonward continues
to prove a great boon to the railroads,
and the passenger men of the Union Pa
cific Burlington and Northwestern admit
that it they could find a few more land
lotteries on hand In Nebraska, surpluses
nnd earnings would be pushed up to a
point heretofore unknown.
Into North Platto Thursday tho Union
Padfla hauled 2.79C tho Burlington Into
Broken-Bow 1.42S, and the Northwestern
Into Valentine 1.214. As many more, It Is

The opening of the two -tracts of land

During the Inst three weeks the Union
Pacific has received and answered 8,000'
letters, tho Burlington 7,13 and the
Northwestern S.432. All trains on the three

Among the landseekers going to North
Platte was a woman S3 years of age from
Iowa. She was accompanied by hor daugh
ter and had to be helped on "and off the
trains. At the depot, she was taken about
in a wheel chair. She gave her home as
Oskalposa and declared that If sho draw

A committee of principals called on

Omaha Board ot Education, and an
nounced their Intention to boom the as
sistant superintendent for the position.
Miss Ryan said she had no Information

vice president of the state association.
Sho would make no comment on the ac
tion ot tho committee ot principals.
Principal Kate McIIugh of the Omaha
High school, candidate for president nf
the Nebraska State Teachers association,

Avery ot the state university Is seriously
considering an announcement declining
to accept the position.
Superintendent H. V. Graff of the
Omahk public schools refused to consider
;the candidacy for the presidency.
President A. O. Thomas of the Kearney
Normal school, who was a candidate, and

of Education, would be disqualified un

the association must bo actively engaged
In educational work In the state.
Squatter Tries to
Get First Choice of
Land at Valentine
A squatter, or sooner, has attomptod to
Bteal a march on Uncle Sam In an effort
to got hold ot the choice tracts ot land on
the military reserve at Valentine. How
ever, It Is not expected that he wilt gain
any rights of priority, as the Interior de
partment has ruled that the holder ot
the first number drawn at North Platto
next Tuesday will have the choice of tho
681 tracts on the two reservations.
At Valentine, tho land to bo disposed
of by the lottery plan joins the town site.
Were tho main street extended, it would
pass through one of the tracts. On this
tract, within tho last week, a land seeker
has built a shack and declares he will
hold the land against all comers. The
land is said to be worth $50 to $75 an
aero.

Y.M.CA. SALESMANSHIP
.CLASS TO OPEN MONDAY
The Toung Men's Christian association
will start a class on Monday night to
teach young men the principles of sales
manship. It Is sometimes argued' that
salesmen are born and not made, that it
Is an art which cannot be taught, but this
class, which has had a very successful
experience for several years, alms to
teach to men those fundamental princi
ples behind all salesmanship which will
Increase their efficiency.
On Monday evening the session, which
Is open to all men who wish to come.

who Is now teaching a class In salesman
ship In the University of Iowa. Mr, Van
Duzer is also teaching salesmanship
classes' In three other towns, Is himself
a practical salesman, and ,1s now em-,
ployed as tho representative ot' a- life In
surance company.
The class In Omaha win be taught by
Edwin S. Jewell, superintendent of the
City National Bank building. Mr. Jewell
has been a salesman all his lite In sev
eral different lines of trade. One of the
interesting features ot the course will be
lectures by successful business men of
the city, who ara being asked to como
before the class and tell their own ex
periences as salesmen.
The Omaha class distinguished Itself
two years ago by having the largest en
rollment ot any salesmanship class In
tho United States.
Many of the leading business firms of
the city have demonstrated their con
fidence in the course by paying the tui
tion fees of their men, believing that
their efficiency would Increase suf
ficiently to Justify this expenditure.
When you wake up with backache and
(dull misery In the kidney region It gen
erally means yeu have bean eating too

ilty. Meat forms urlo acid which over
works the kidneys In their effort to fil

sort of paralysed and lorry. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, lika you relieve your bow
els; removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dlzsy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue Is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek re

Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma

WOULD STOPJAR SHORTAGE
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
sues Statement to Shippers.
CARELESSNESS IS PRIME CAUSE
Shorn Hott Both Railroads and Ship
pers Can Help Oat In the An
Dial Shortage by a Lit
tle Effort.
The Interstate Commerce commission
has issued a bit ot advice both to ship
pers and carriers that Is Intended to
eliminate to some extent the annual car
shortage, trouble about which the ship
pers havo heard so much In the last few
years. The traftlo bureau ot the Com
mercial club In Omaha has received a
circular from the commerce commission
with respeot to car shortage:
Informal complaints to the commission
Indicate that the annually recurring fail
ure of transportation facilities known as
"car shortage" Is again appearing. The
commission urges on all shippers and all
carriers that closo attention to methods
ot loading, unloading, moving and
promptly returning to use the cars' now
available will go tar toward making the
present supply ot cars sufficient for all
purposes.
In order that the business of the coun
try may go forward without Interruption,
the commission urges shippers, both in
dividually and through their associa
tions, to co-operate to secure tne prompt
and full loading ot cars and their prompt
release. One ot the chief causes of fail
ure of car supply In past seasons has
been the unnecessary detention of cars
by careless shippers and by shippers
using them for storage purposes. In the
genera) public Interest, shippers should
endeavor to release cars at the earnest
possible moment, wtthout regard to the
free time given them by the tariffs.
All the efforts of the shippers will be
unavailing, however, unless tho carriers
also use extraordinary measures to elimi
nate all delays chargrnbln to them. The
failure of car supply Is usually a failure
of car movement. The congestion of
terminals Is the ever present feature at
times of such failure. The commission,
therefore, urges carriers to make every
possible endeavor to Improve tholr meth
ods of operation of terminals In order
that cars may move promptly. Also com
pany material should be unloaded with
the same dispatch that Is required of
shippers.
The commission Is moved to malto this
appeal by Its desire to save both ship
pers and carriers from the losses which
are occasioned by failures of car supply,
and by Its knowledgo that measures as
are here suggested have operated In past
seasons to save all concerned from heavy
losses.
E. J. McVann, manager of the traffic
bureau, says the odvlco of the commis
sion is sound, and that It alt the ship
pers and carriers lived up to it, tho ex
isting equipment would be ample to take
caro of the tonnage.

Mexican Soon Finds
He Can Talk English
"Alex Sallso, you are charged with
beating your wife," judge Foster told a
Mexican in polloe court. The Mexican
eloquently shrugged his shoulders and
replied, "No speak English."
The wife did not appear. The court
made several Ineffective attempts to
question the, prisoner, but "no speak Eng.
llsh" was the answer. After a while the
judge told the Mexican ho could go now,
"Thank you very much, your honor,"
the man said, making a respectful bow.
"Have you anything downstairs they
took from you when you were arrested?"
"Yes. sir. I havo a watch down there
and t0. Am I dismissed T I thank you."
The court scratched his head and re
marked something to the effect that
under certain conditions somo people for

ORDINANCE FORTHE NEWSIES
Eyder Will Introduce One Before the
Commission Tuesday.
CIRCULATORS ENTER PROTEST
Fight 1 Nott Tmnaferred to tho
Commlnlon, aa llrdcr Has
Made a noting- In Favor
of tbe Ifewiboja.
Chicago newspaper circulation man
agers called on Pollco Comm!stonar J. J.
Ryder to protest against the enforcement
of an ordinance) which forbid newsboys
to occupy the curbs with their wares.
Commissioner Ryder was appealed to by
the Newspaper Dealers' association of
Omaha, who said their business was
"hurt" by the "curbstone dealers."
Ryder came out flatly in favor of the
newsboys. City Attorney John A- Ulna
has drafted an ordinance repealing tho
old ordinance and granting newsboys tho
right to sell magazines and newspapers
on the streets.
Mr. Ryder said:
"I will introduce this ordinance Tues
day and the newspaper dealers can fight
It out before the city commission The
new ordlance elves newsboys the right to
sell ma purines and newspapers on the
streets,"
The newspaper dealers, through their at
torneys, said boys could, under tha law,
be prohibited from selling either maga
zines or papers on the streets, under an
ordinance prohibiting the peddling of
merchandise.
Thursday afternoon a story appeared
stating that Meyer Coren, an Omaha
newsdealer, had resigned from the News
dealers' association. Mr. Coren wlsheu It
announced that he Is not a member of
the association, but he doea still assert
that the story represented his sentiments
with regard to the fight on the newsboys.

to speak before their association on the
subject of convict labor on the roads of

come the early part of November,, so he
will bo asked to select a date somewhere
between November IS and SO.
The possibility of getting one of the
governors of some other states that em
ploy convict labor on their roads to speak
here at the same meeting Is alao being
considered. The directors of the ManU'
facturers' association recommended alao
that the association become a member oi
