PBESEBVE LIFE AND LIMB
Live and limb of indespensable
.Omaha factory workers will no longer
be exposed to ever-present dangers
on railway tracks and crossings if a
campaign, inaugurated by the Burling
ton railwav in conjunction with heads
of local industries wins its point,-1
Local Freight Agent Harrington,
co-operating with captains of industry
of Greater Omaha, has postedwarn.
big notices in large factories, calling
attention to dangers of trespassing on
the tracks. The fact that out of every
six persons killed on railway tracks,
four are trespassing non-employes,
' is emphasised. The practice of
. walking to and from work on the
' tracks is condemned. . " .
Apparently deliberate attempts at
self destruction on the tracks are few,
according to the railway bulletin, the
majority of deaths caused being' the
fault of thoughtless trespassers who
insist on using railway property as
athoroughfare.
"We have men working for us who
have devoted years to the perfecting
t,f their professions and they are in
despensable to our factory, said I
win isvivi J nn. . . , .. . v
educated these men to perform cer-
tain duties and they are -cogs in the
' big wheel. Yet these same men' en
danger their lives, limbs and the wel
fare of their employers daily by walk
ing to and from their daily "duties
on 'the railway tracks. ' Some poor
.chap is killed daily simply for the
sake of taking a short cut. We can
not afford to lose these trained work-

No Sort of Weather Makes Any
Impression On One J, A. C. Kennedy
In these warm beg pardon, we
mean hot days, it is refreshing to
contemplate one of our distinguished
tellow citizens upon whom the neat
seems to have no effect
There am t no such animal you
say, and we come . right back by
pointing to the eminent attorney, J.
A. C. Kennedy.
Others may puff anc pant and com
plain and fidget and mop their brows
and pull off their coats and fan them
selves and roll up their sleeves and
even take off their collars.
But J. A. C. Kennedy goes . his
calm, - cool, cucumberous way ahd
seems Unaware of the heat. '
Observe him in the federal court
these days.' Ten good men and true
sit around a big table there, thresh
ing out the Missouri Pacific's rate
case before ReYeree Frank H. Gaines.
Eight of these g. m. and t have their
coats off. But focus your lamps on
Mr. Kennedy. He looks as cool as
a polar bear on an ice floe. He not
only has his coat on. but he wears
a high starched collar with one of
those new style bunchy bow ties
and starched cuffs.
Frank Gaines is in his shirt sleeves
and wears a soft collar. Railway
Commissioners Clarke and Hall have
their coats off, end Mr. Clarke wears
a soft collar.
E. C. Hurd, rate expert, has his
coat off, exhibiting his suspenders
unblushingly to the world. Rate ex
pert U. G. Powell has his coat off.
C. D. Perdun, chief engineer of the
"M. P.," has his coat off and his
sleeves rolled up. Stenographer C.
W. Pearsall has his coat off and his
sleeves rolled up.
These coatless men mop their
brows, they fan, they go to the win
dow hoping for a breath of fresh
air, they consume ice water.
But J. A. C. K., in his coat and
high collar and starched cuffs, seems
cool as a cucumber.
His imoerviousness to the equator
ial torridity of August is no more
astonishing than his impervioueness
to the hyperborean frigidity of Feb
ruary. (Six good, round, ringing
words in that sentence, g. reader,
eh') t
For in February 'At. Kennedy may
be seen swinging along the street
without an overcoat and wearing low
shoes. ... '...,'
Talk about Ajax defying the light
ning I J. A. C Kennedy has him
lashed to the mast and shouting for
help.

that there are many breeders there

heavily. These, he says, will come to
