Sager Loses Watch
While Viewing Moon
Clarence Sager of Benson was enjoying
the groat round moon at Rlvervlow park
Sunday night as he sat on a bench with
his arm-well, his young lady friend was
with him.
Approached a man with thick soles and
an underslung Jaw,
"It's time you people were out of tho
park. Got out now, or I'll pinch you both.
ou re spooning anyway."
Sager and the young woman turned
to go.
"What time is ItT" demanded the man
who represented himself as an officer.
Sager produced his timepiece, but before
he could look at the dial the other had
snatched It away and disappeared Into
the underbrush.
A complaint was made at police head
quarters. There Is no ordinance against
remaining In the parks Into.

Brain harvest Is out of tho way, accord
ing to the railroads, they are getting It,
and In somo portions of the state mora
than they know what to do with.
Tho Burlington's weather report Indi
cates that the entlro southwestern por
tion of the stato was given a drenching
Sunday and Sunday night, thsre being
three inches at and around Orleans and
Jled Cloud, with one to two Inches nt
and around Republican, Oxford, McCook,
Bcnkleman and Arapahoe.
Rains of one-halt to ono Inch are re
ported over practically all of that por
tion of the Burlington, Union Pacific,
Rock Island and Northwestern, west of
tho central portion of the state.
In many places the heavy rain has
softened the railroad grades and trains
have to proceed with great caution. Along
the BurlinKton, between WelUleet and
Morefleld, a number of smalt washouts
are reported, with several on the Orleans
branch.
While the heavy rains. It la asserted,
will be of great benefit to the growing
corn, they are going to delay work In
the small grain fields, and It they con'
tlnue It Is feared that they will cause
the wheat to sprout In the shocks.

Third Car Arrives Too I.nte to Get
the Benefit of Monday Mar
ket find Will lie Hold
Here Tuesday.
The first Nebraska grown wheat of this
year's crop has arrived onto the Omaha
market. There were two carloads of It
both coming over the Missouri Paclflo
from Brock, Nemaha county. It gradtd
No. 2 hard and tested sixty and one-half
pounds per bushel. Tho grade Is the
highest ever put on new wheat that has
not gone through the sweat and the
test Is close to one pound above the aver
age for new grain.
Tho two cars of new wheat came from
fields that averaged a little better than
forty bushels per acre. It was sent In
by the Brock Grain company, consigned
to the George A Roberta company and
sold to the Maney , Mills company for
milling purposes.
The price paid by the Maney Mills com
pany was about 1 cent above the going
cash price. There was considerable bid
ding for the shipment and there were
half a dozen buyers anxious to take it at
7SV4 to 72 cents, but the mills people bid
it up to 73 cents and secured the entire
shipment ot 2,000 bushels.
Too I.nte for Market.
Another car of new wheat came In
from Harvard, Neb., over the North
western, but too late to get onto tho
msrket It was sent by the Farmers'
Grain and Live Stock company of Har
vard, consigned to the Crowell Elevator
company and will bo on sale Tuesday
morning. Tho car of Harvard wheat
weighed out close to sixty-two pounds
to the bushel and tested No. 2 hard. It
Is said to have como from fields that
averaged better than thirty-eight bushelf
to the acre.
By a coincident the new wheat arriving

same date as the first -shipment of last
year July 6. From now on It Is ex
pected that new wheat will come along
In large quantities, aa the report Is that
all through the South Platto country
threshing Is well under way.
Plan to Change the
City Lights is Put
Over for a Week
A plan for the redistribution of electric
lights, submitted to the council by the
city electrician, M. J. Curran. has been
referred for one week, when Its adoption
will be considered.
The proposed plan will eliminate sev
eral street lights, and many others will
be moved to new locations. The plan
was proposed when the electric light com
pany submitted a request for an exteh
slon of Its street lighting contract.
There is little money In the street light-'
lng fund now and the approval of the
electrlo light contract will mean a reduc
tion In the number of street lights un-

lees an appropriation can be secured from
the next legislature.
Tho contract, however, proposed to re
place the targe arc lights with smaller
and cheaper lights, and this will, the
commissioners believe, help to solve the
problem by Increasing the number ot
available lights.

Petroleum
Carbon Coke
HHHHMMHV HHHHHHHKI
What Is It?
Petrolium Carbon Coke is not a product' made from
coal, as is tyu? case with all othei cokes. Neither is it a
by-product from Gas House, known as gas house coke.
Petroleum Carbon Coke is a by-product obtained from
the refining of crude oil. Therefore, it is made from oil,
and is called Petroleum Carbon Coke. There is not an
other fuel of any description that does not contain from
10 to 30 per cent oof ash. Petroleum Carbon Coke con
tains no nah. It All Consumes. It can be used in a furn
ace an entire season without removing a pound of ashes
or shaking the grate. It is absolutely '
Smokeless, Odorless and Soofless.
Think of it! No Ash, No Smoke,
No Spot, No Odor,
and more heat than any other fuel. For furnace, range
and grate use, your imagonation cannot conceive of a
more ideal fuel. Prices. $9.50 per ton for July delivery
only. Tho reason wo are making this low price is because
wo want to begin delivering it direct fro mthe cars. Next
month tho price will advance, so take advantage of the
low price now.
