Justice Kubat Meets Negro Friend of Many Years Ago C. H. Kubat, justice of the peace, at the close of a session of his court, made this announcement: "One block over to the right to the Grand hotel; the best hotel in town." The words were meaningless except to a venerable negro who sat in a corner of the court room. The ne gro was John B. Showers, 86 years of age. Showers' face beamed with enthu siasm when he ha I time to allow his memory to respond to the words of ' the justice. "Ah surely knows dat you hab been in Cedar Rapids, foh dere it was moah dan thirty years ago ah said dem very words: "'One block over to the right to the Grand hotel; the best hotel in town.' " The justice and the negro compared notes and renewed old acquaintance at Cedar Rapids, la., where both lived many years ago. Mr. Kubat had not seen Showers for thirty years. Show ers settled in the Iowa town fifty years ago and was a well-known char acter. The negro was in the justice court as plaintiff in a suit wherein he was allowed $6 on a claim for wages. He was represented by Attorney McGuire of the legal aid department of the Welfare board. Porter Shot Through Breast Is Held to District Court Glenn Grove, the 21-year-old por ter at the ller-Grand hotel barber shop who was shot through the right breast last Friday evening by Police Officer Joe Baughman, who says Grover was trying to hold him up at the point of a revolver, had his pre liminary hearing in police court and was bound over to the district court under a $1,000 bond on the charge of assault with intent to rob. In the police court were Clarence Grove, a brother, and Robert Grove, his father from Evansville, Kan., where, he is one of the big potato growers of the state. The father says that the boy could have had no necessity for robbing anyone, as he had repeatedly offered to send him money if he ran short, and another brother in the city would have .been glad to- have loaned Glenn money had he been in need. The elder Grove said he would arrange for bond this afternoon".

Adrertliement CITY BUMPS INTO LIGHT1X AGAIN Council Grants Company Per mit to Lay Conduit After Work is Already Started. PREPARES NEW ORDINANCE The city commissioners find the electric light situation a hard problem to solve. The latest phase of the question refers to conduits. Among the pending features are: A suit re lating to franchise rights to distribute current for light and power purposes, municipal plant and improvement of street lighting. The Omaha Electric Light and Power company fs just now laying a conduit along the curb on the south side of Farnam street, Twentieth to Twenty-fourth streets, preliminary to repaving. At an executive session of the council, the commissioners de cided to grant the company a permit, although it is said the work was started before a permit was asked. It is understood this new conduit exten sion is for, the particular use of the proposed new ornamental lighting system along Farnam street. Reserve Space for City. Commissioner Butler stated he will on Thursday morning offer a resolu tion to require that space be reserved for the use of the city in all conduits hereafter laid. On March 8. 1902, the city council passed an ordinance requiring that on and after 'October 1, 1905, electric current wires would be required to be placed in conduits within the follow ing district: Eighth street,-Capitol avenue to Leavenworth; west to Thirteenth, thence south to Jackson, west on Jackson to Eighteenth and north on Eighteenth to Capitol ave nue. That ordinance was not modi fied. The light company, however, has gone beyond those limits of its own volition and recently made an extension on West Leavenworth street. Prepares New Ordinance. Corporation Counsel Lambert has prepared for introduction Thursday morning an ordinance which provides that the city may issue permits tor conduits for distribution of electric current in any district or districts be yond the limits defined in the old or dinance. Under the proposed new ordinance the city reserves the right to revoke the permits at any time and reserves the right to use any portion of the streets for drains, pipes, sewers, conduits or subways. Provision also is made that the city shall have charge of restoration of the surface of streets into which conduits may be laid. One clause stipulates that these permits for conduits shall in no way effect franchises or franchise rights. Another provision is that these con duit permits may be issued only to companies already holding a lawful right to operate. Gasoline Prices , May Take Drop Here Following the announcement of a raise in ice cream comes the com pensatory news that gasoline has gone down in Chicago and Iowa. The price of gasoline in Chicago has been reduced 1 cent a gallon to dealers, the price being 7l2 cents. Manaeer Richardson of the Stand ard Oil company here declared he had not yet received the news and was unable to state when the price would be reduced in Omaha. The manager 6f another large local gasoline concern made this state ment: "I expect gasoline will drop I cent a gallon in Omaha on Thurs day, or during the last of the week." Babies Grow Fat On Milk Bought by The Bee's Fund An 11-monht-old infant at Thirty second and Burt streets increased in weight from nine and one-half pounds to sixteen pounds since the establishment of the Visiting Nurse association baby stations and the milk and ice fund of The Bee at the be ginning of the summer. The mother is Mrs. Mary Wittuski, living at 3201 Burt street. Report of this case was made at a meeting of the association in the city hall. The weights given are exact and show the possibdities of proper care of babies in the summer time. The mother of the infant had neaily given up in despair when a nurse vis ited the home and drew upon The Bee's fund. The nurse also gave di rections for bathing, clothing and feeding. The child is getting along splendidly and is in the best of health at this time. The baby stations have cared for 121 infants this season. "You cannot estimate the amount of good that has been done this sum mer through the milk and ice fund. It cannot be estimated in dollars and cents." said a nurse at the Visiting Nurse association's headquarters. The association attended forty-one maternity cases during the month ending August IS.

STRIKE TALK CUTS DOWN THE TRAVEL Passenger Agents Are Busy Answering Questions But Autoist Rolls Along. VACATIONISTS HURR I HOME The railroad strike situation is al ready exerting iu influence upon pas sengcr traffic, local lii'tct agents aver. While city folks like to lie far. far from the maddening crowd when they know that they can scurry back to the apartment house zone in I night or so, it's a much different mat ter in the light of a possible tie-up of the country's transportation facilities. Reservations for tickeis lo vacation places are being canceled daily, rail road passenger men report. Also, many who have planned trips are al most daily visitors at the city passen ger offices to inquire "if llicy'd he stranded some place it uu-y made their trip at this tune.' As the ticket agents are in no wise better informed than anyone else on the strike situation, the obvious reply is that "they can't give guarantees with tickets that a railroad tie-up wouldn t leave them stranded high and dry in some out-of-the-way vaca tion spot. Some Hurry Home. The seriousness of the situation is causing vacationists in large num bers to hurry hack to their home towns before the "choo choos" them selves take an enforced vacation.
