WIUES BLOWN DOWN AT ONAWA The railroad ot Nebraska came out from under the effects of Thurs day night's storm much better than officials expected as they watched the threatening clouds. During the evening and night heavy rains fell in practically all por tions Of the state, down In Kansas, , over In Missouri, Iowa and up In Bout Dakota. According to reports to the offices, the north halt of Ne braska had one of the heaviest rains of the summer, the precipitation ranging from two to three and one half Inches.

Break la ?rrk at Herman. The entire system of the Omaha road south of the Minnesota line was under water for aereral hours during the night, but no additional damage was sustained, aside from a break in the track near Herman, Neb., where the rain assumed the proportions of a cloudburst. All ' . way to Sioux City the track Is In ji snap, out trains are being- moved. Around Weat Point on the Nrth.V era. there were a number of phial! wash-i cms, nut they were repaired during the night and yesterday trains were com! us and going practically on time, Parrishto Carry News of Omaha to ; :.

Mr. Parrtsh will put tn most ot his time at San Francisco, where he will at tend to matter looking toward drawing to Omaha for the coming year some of th big national conventions that are this -year being held at San Frsncosco. Ha Is also to durtrtmit a great deal of Omaha publicity literature at the hotels, the convention halls and other advan tageous piece, in Ssn Francisco.

The city clerk waa directed to notify the contractors and their bondsmen that unless th work is pushed without fur ther delay action will be started agaipnt a bond af 118,000 held for the faithful completion of the work. - Tranche for the conduits are lying open and material Is on the ground. During the discussion one of the com missioners declared that Dundee at the eleventh hour of its corporate life un loaded 135,000 , lighting bonds upon the people of ' Greater Omaha.

How una transported the rest .of the chlMren to the Iand of Heart's . retire and how they found there what each most lonced for; ' how tho trustees hsd disturbing dreams, and how the mint and the houso surgeon started on the road to Fslry land Is told with humor and pathos in this grown-up fairy tale.'

Mr. Alvlson took, the matter up with United States Commissioner Danltl, 'who tried t find som way to secure . the necessary permission. After some ' in vestigation It was found that the son, who labors under the attractive name of Sling-Gin. will no be allowed to enter th United States,' even on his way to his native land, and so will have to forego th pleasure of a short stay wlta hi father.

Greek classmate who enters Intimately into Ills life and furnishes opportunity for "eomrarlfon of character and per sonal alma Then, as a cub' engineer, he Roe to the far northwest -and enter with whole-hearted enthusiasm upon his life work. From Hits point the story Is well worth reading Just for the sake of the graphic description of the work of the irrigation engineers. A lov story with a piquant heroine and the hsnd some Greek as a sinister Influence conies near to malting tragedy of Httll Jim's life, but th ending of the story Is upon a happy and hopeful note.

Picture follows picture and fate, moves on resistlossly. Unquestioned. unex. plained. Pcriinps the mot amaxing thing about thla book Is that there Is not a trace of STUklneM in it. It. is clear and fine. The suffering and wrong and sor row are all there, rags and dirt and des perate shifts.. Yet what Is most marked Is purity that I not destroyed under the whole horror of the physical conditions THE JKSTEH. By Leslie Moor. 839 i PP. 11.3a. . P.
