MALONEY GIVES WOMAN CREDIT FOR BEST TIP. cost to the Omaha saloon men. Several weeks ago a suave and well- dressed salesman came to Omaha, and working In saloons located outside the downtown district succeeded In placing the purchasers of his wares In a dan gerous position. According to the well-related tale of tho salesman ho had a preparation a few ounces of which added to water would tniika.. whisky or gin, or most any. thing In tho line of Intoxicating drinks. While the Compound could be bought for a nominal sum, tho real secret of suc cess In using It, and thereby saving the exorbitant purchase price of liquors, was to bo found In a book, "Prlngle's Prac tical Ouldo for Liquor Merchants." The book was priced at from 2 to 125, de- D&mllncr nn thn irltlllhlA annAn,flii. nf ; Itemed tn romn tn Omnhn tvftli film the victim In tow. Reputable saloon men I Sne not under arrest. She admits that fell for the book deal, and others who ne furnished Clarlctta with funds to thought they were more1 cautious Insisted that tho compound come by C. O. D. express. Some liny the Hook. The books were bought by the victims, and the compound ordered, and tho salesman forthwith disappeared from the city. When one of the more conserva tive men thought of tho good thing he had struck, It occurred to jilm to call on tho Internal icvcnue agents and find out If tho whole procedure wero according to law. Of course tho salesman had as sured him that It was no violation to make, whisky out of powder and water, but tho saloon keeper went to headquar ters In tho foderal building Just tho same, and Investigated. Then . the revenue officers got busy. They went to the express office and se curing the.namcs of tho persons who had received tho compound, they triad a visit to each of them. In most Instances tho powder had been thrown away because It did not work, even when tried according to the secrets reveal td by tho Prlnglo guide. Two saloon men, however, had already used the compound, and these two Were forced to pay flnea and pen alties' and take out a rectifier's license. which cost them In the neighborhood of I1J0. Tho other saloon men were warned by the federal officers In time to avoid, violating the law, and they destroyed the compound.' The books which contained the secret of mixing the water and the powder have fallen In value since their gulllblo purchasers found tho secrets did not work out well and were likewise In violation of the law, "Why, the gin I made out of the gin extract Just looked like milk," gloomily related one of tho saloon men who was a victim of tho smooth salesman. "And the whisky well, It was so bad that wo fed some of It to a dog and tho dog ae rially died. I don't know If the whisky killed htm or not, but tho dog suro died. If you'll come out whero I llfro I'll prove It."

General Passenger Agent Wakeley of j the Uurllngton Is back from the family 1 meeting of officials held In Chicago, where It was decided to push Immigra tion Into western NebrasKa, Wyoming and Montana during the coming spring and summer. It was tho consensus of opinion, says Mr. Wakeley, that the time has arrived when railroads In this section of the country must boost harder than ever for the country tributary to the lines, and In this work ho says the Burlington Is going to get into the front rank. At tho meeting 'Mr. Wakeley explained to his associates and co-workers the character of tho country along tho Bur lington lines west of the Missouri river. pointing out to them that then Is not a section of vacant land cast of the Rocky mountains that Is not productive. Some of it will raise grain, some grass and forage and some cattle. It all has a value and can all be brought under cul tivation, adding greatly to tho general prosperity of tho country. In d'scusslng the problems brought up, Mr. Wakeley laid particular stress on what the western portion of Nebraska has done during the last five years In tho way of becoming a rich dairy section, and contended that the movement to stock the sandhill country with cows Is but In Its Infancy. He took tho position that the country, which a few' years ago was considered worthless except for range, Is soon to becomo as rich as that farther cast, and that tho land will rap Idly Increase In value. In reply to questions he told tho Bur lington people that It would be folly to send men out Into the western part of the state and Into Wyoming to raise Just grain. They should como prepared to go Into stock raising and diversified J farming, and they should come prepared to handle at least 640 acres each. With this area of land they could becomo rich, while with but 1C0 acres each thero would hardl bo a living. He told his people that there will never be a time when this land can be bought at such low prices as now, and that land now selling at from S to HO per aero within five years will bo anxiously sought and paid for at from $23 to 135 per acre. LINCOLN HIGHWAY ASS'N SUES TO PROTECT PENNANT Suit Is to be started at once by tho Lincoln Highway association against a manufacturing firm of New York City that Is manufacturing and selling Lin coln Highway pennant containing the copyrighted sign of the Lincoln Highway' road markers.

Politics crept Into yesterdai; morning's saslonf the convention-of county treas urers and, for a while threatened to dis rupt the organization. It all started from two -resolutions acopted as part of the report of the resolutions committed cotnmendlng State' Auditor W. B. Howard and- Stato Treasurer Walter A. George, and asking the tatter to become a can didate for governor. J. II. Hutchlns of Falls City, treasurer of Rithardson county and a loyal demo crat, started the fireworks after tha res olutions had been safely put through and the meeting had adjourned. He was not present during the action,' but. easily raised a lively insurrection ' against the procedure when he arrived .and learned the facts. " Ure am President, W. G. Ure of Douglas county, who was elected president as tho last matter of busi&ess. and Hlmon Flsnman of. Chey enne county, the retiring president, with a I are number of tho treasurers back ing them, decided to wipe the two ob jectionable political resolutions oft the records of the association. This was done because the organization Is non partisan, they said, and would easily be ruined If political controversies entered Its deliberations. As the official resolutions of the body now stand no mention Is made of Messrs, Oeorfa and Howard, who were covered In tha originally, adopted resolution by the following bouquets: Wo commend State Auditor W.
