How Petition for
Compensation Must
State Particulars
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 25. (Special.) "A
petition for compensation under the
workmen's compensation act should
set out the injury in its extent and
character, and the judgment should
conform thereto, determining plainly
the extent and character of the in
jury, whether the disability is total
or partial, and whether temporary or
permanent; it should state definitely
the time for which periodical pay
ments must be made."
This is the ppinion of the Nebraska
supreme court in a suit for dam
ages brought by George L. Hanley
against the Union Stock Yards com
pany, in which judgment was secured
in the Lancaster county district court.
Later the defendant made application
to the court for an order relieving
it from the payment of any further
compensation to Hanley. The court
denied the application and the defend
ant appealed.
Notes from Beatrice
And Gage County
Beatrice, Neb., July 25. (Special.)
Clarence Fisher, the young Pickrell
farmer who was dragged some dis
tance yesterday by a mowing machine
when his team ran away, is in a criti

local hospital shows that one of the
sickle guards penetrated his right
lung. His right ankle was almost sev

at the elbow were also cut off. The
young man is 22 years of age and the
son of Henry Fisher, an old resident
of the Pickrell vicinity.

Hail Does Great Damage
Near Sutherland
Suterland, Neb., July 25. (Special
Telegrah.) A heavy hail storm did
extensive damage to crops and build
ings in this vicinity last night. In
several places the ground was cov
ered to a depth of six inches and
many of the hail stones were six
inches in diameter. The total amount
of the damage has not been esti
mated. High Land Cut Off Road
Boosters Here for Lunch
President Lindburg of the High
Land Cutt Off Highway association,
and the remnant of his crowd of road
boosters, who drove to Omaha Mori
day from Polk, Central City and
other towns on the cut off, were en
tertained at luncheon at the Commer
cial club rooms at noon. The Com
mercial club was host. Roads and
short cuts were talked throughout
the luncheon. Many of the cars had
started home in the morning, so that
only a remnant of the crowd was left
for the luncheon.

(from a Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, July 25. (Special
Telegram.) ' How can a committee
do most to assist you in locating a
federal bank in Omaha?" was a ques
tion received by telegraph from Fred
D. Wead, chairman, addressed to
Congressman Lobeck today.
What ever answer the congressman
makes to the telegram may not tell
the situation exactly as it now exists
regarding the location of a land bank
in the Gate City.
before Senator Hitchcock left for
Nebraska he filed applications for a
federal laud bank or a "rural credit
bank" with Secretary McAdoo, from
both Lincoln and Omaha, incidentally
stating that in view of two cities
in his state being candidates for such
location he could do nothing more
than be neutral. So much for Mr.
Hitchcock.
What State Must Expect
The members of the house feel that
they cannot do more than Senator
Hitchcock has done, and while they
have pronounced views on the sub
ject, do not hesitate to say that if
the state has two candidates tor the
location of a farm loan bank, then the
state has no right to expect anything
but what it will undoubtedly get.
It was charged against Bryan that
his championship of Lincoln as a
branch of he federal reserve bank
against Omaha made the selection of
either one impossible.
Bryan does not appear in the farm
loan -bank equation, but the result
promises much the same.
If the judgment of the individual
members of the delegation in con
gress from Nebraska could decide the
location of the farm loan bank it
would be in favor of Omaha. Lin
coln has once more gummed the
cards.
Everybody for Hughes.
E. C. Houston and wife of Tekama,
Dr. J. E. Wallace and wife of Oak
land and Judge foster ot umana
were capital visitors today. Mr.
Houston said he had traveled as far
east as Montreal and had talked to
many people and as a result of those
conversations believed that Hughes
would be the next president
When Judge Foster was told how
the acting-police judge of Omaha was
fining automobilists for ignoring
speed regulations, he quietly said,
"I have been doing that for some
time."
No Water in Pool at
Riverview Because
. Of Too Small Pipe
There were several hundred disap
pointed bathers, or rather, would-be
bathers, at Riverview park Monday
evening. Ihe evening was warm
and large numbers of Omahans
trekked out to the pool at Riverview
to take a dip in the reported cooling
waters there. But alas, there wasn't
enough water in the pool, and those
who had pinned their hopes on River
view as a refresher either visited
other bathing resorts or retreated to
the friendly bath tub.
The water had been ordered shut
off by Joe Hummel, park commis
sioner, following complaints from
consumers in" the neighborhood that
they were unable to get water while
the pool was being filled. There is
only a four-irich main in the district
in which the park is located, a fact
that results in the consumers, they
complained, being left "high and dry"
while the pool is getting its quota of
water. '
Twenty-second Street
Residents Make Complaint
Residents in the neighborhood of
Twenty-second and Grace streets are
complaining that the sewers along
Twenty-second street have not been
flushed recently, a fact, they add, that
has resulted in much annoying dust.
The city engineer explained that dur
ing a dry spell the flushings of the
neighborhood ordinarily do not carry
away all the dust 'and accumulations.
The sewer inspector will be ordered
1 to investigate the complaints.

Federal Aid to
Prevent Spread of
Infantile Paralysis
NEW YORK, July 25. Efforts of
the federal health service to prevent,
if possible, the spreading of infantile
paralysis to cities, and towns outside
of New York, were strengthened to
day when an order was issued that
no child 16 years of age or under be
permitted to leave New York with
out a certificate from the federal sur
geon. To obtain federal certificates chil
dren first must get certificates from
the New York health department,
showing there have been no cases of
infantile paralysis in the house in
which they have lived during the last
six months. They also must pass an
examination by federal surgeons.
The number of deaths and new
J cases increased during the twenty-
tour hours ending at 111 o clock this
morning. During that time thirty
eight deaths and 150 new cases were
reported from the five boroughs of
the city.
Commercial Club
To Fight for Lower
Insurance Rates
Lower fire insurance rates are due
in Omaha, thinks the executive com
mittee of the Commercial club. The
club bases its opinion on the fact that
the city's fire department has been
motorized. The committee was given
to understand that lower insurance
rates would be contingent upon the
motorization of the fire department.
"Now we are motorized," says the
club. "Now where arc the lower
rates?" The committee expects to
take the matter up with the National
Board of Undrewriters.
Stomach Trouble and Constipation.
"I will cheerfully say that Cham

POSTUM .
This famous food-drink is made of prime wheat, roasted with a bit of
wholesome molasses. It has a flavor much like that of the higher grades
of mild Java coffee, but is absolutely free from the drug, caffeine, in coffee,
or any other harmful substance free from all coffee troubles.
Postum is delicious and comes in two forms. The original Postum
Cereal must be boiled. Instant Pottum ia a soluble powder made in the
cup by adding hot water. The flavor is the same and the cost about equal.
Both kinds are good for young and old, and satisfy the craving for a hot,
aromatic, meal-time beverage.

Colorado's
Rockies Rivals the
Swiss Alps
The altitudes are just as great, the views from the summit just
as inspiring, and the ascents present problems to test the most hardy
climber this is the testimony of Swiss mountain climbers, many of
whom visit Colorado every year for the purpose of studying these
peaks and their formations, together with the glaoiers and glacial
moraines so much in evidence in the "Switzerland of America."
The United States Department of the Interior states that nowhere
else in America can glaciers and their workings be studied to better
advantage than the Colorado Rockies.
In Rocky Mountain National Park and beautiful Estes Park there
are over sixty peaks rising above 12,000 feet and a number in the
neighborhood of 14,000 feet.
These are but one of the attractions in this section of Colorado.
Hotels and cottages located at the very feet of these highest peaks pro
vide accommodations of the best at rates most reasonable.
Union Pacific System
is the only double-trWked route between Omaha and Colorado." Its
line is Sherman gravel ballasted and protected by automatic electric
block safety signals all the way.
Three splendidly equipped electric lighted trains leave
Omaha Union Station daily at convenient hours.
