Development of Valley States
Depends on Use of Water
Line to Panama.
SAVES TIME AND CASH
La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 26. Devel
opment of the Mississippi valley de
pends upon making use of the Missis
sippi river as a cheap means of trans
portation to the port of New Or
leans," Charles Ripp'in, traffic com
missioner of the Merchants' exchange,
St. Louis, today told the delegates to
the annual convention of the Upper
Mississippi River Improvement asso
ciation. .. .i , .
"If the Mississippi valley fails to
take aggressive action quickly," said
Mr. Rippin, "it deserves the descrip
tion that Senator Tillman gave of this
country, when he said it was like a
cow ted in the west and south and
milked in Wall street Germany,
France and England do not abandon
their river and canal traffic, but keep
it going at maximum capacity, and
that is what we have got to come to
in the valley to get the benefit of our
natural location in the greatest navi
gable water on the globe. x
Short Line to Panama. a
"New Orleans is two and a half
day nearer to the Panama canal
than New York equivalent 'to a
$1,250 saving, in operation expenses
of an 'average steamer, but ateamers,
to far as they have operated at all
from New Orleans through the canal,
have charged the same rates of
freight from New. Orleans as from
New .York. If we can get substan
tially cheaper rates from upper Misr
aissippi river points to New Orleans
we can control the valley commerce
for the port of New Orleans and in
crease our business' in competition
with eastern manufacturers and pro
ducers.' The railroad will not reduce
the rates for us we' must, get the
reduction by transportation ore, the
Mississippi. , . Terminals are being
built at all principal points and the
ext thing to be furnished is boats.
A fleet' of ten -barges and two tow
boats is to operate during the com
ing winter between Kansas City, St.
Louis and New Orleans. We expect
soon to have a line of barges carry
ing grain from St. Louis to New Or
leans. These things represent prog
ress, but the. upper Mississippi river
country should also bestir itself to
get boats busy carrying freight.
Cheapest Route to Orient
"South' America,- Australia, New
Zealand, Japan, Russia and other for
eign countries are buying large quan
tities of goods in the United States
which are moving through the Pan
ama ' canal in steamers loaded at
eastern ports. 'Out of seventeen
commercial . steamers which passed
through tne Panama canal the week
ending September 27 from the At
lantic to the Pacific and twenty-four
'from the Pacific to the Atlantic, one
steamer came from New' Orleans and
one was bound to that port, while in
the same period eight originated at
Atlantic porta and fifteen were des
tined to Atlantic ports.
"It is evident that if the Mississpi
valley manufacturers can get to the
port at New Orleans by water cheaper
than by rail to the Atlantic seaboard
it will insure them an advantage in
the selling price of their goods which
have to move through the canal. The
people in the valley should, therefore,
continue striving to get water trans
portation on the Mississippi river in
order to enable them to compete ef
fectively with the eastern manufac
turers. It is not going to be easy to
do this in view of the long control
of export and import traffic of the
country exercised by the east Intel
ligent and strenuous efforts must be
made to get efficient water transporta
tion in operation. , -,.'..

Iowa May Have Law
To Permit Boxing
Des Moines, la., Oct 26. Reports'
reaching Des Moinea from various
sections of the state indicate that ef
forts may be made at the coming ses
sion of the Iowa legislature to intro
duce and pass a measure providing
for legalized boxing in Iowa under
state supervision., .Although the move
mint for a boxing commission cannot
lc said to have reached a stage where
us uaefcers are legion, there seems
to be a sentiment in several of the
larger cities of the state in favor of
aticmpting to pass a "boxing law"
at the coming session, ""
In this connection it is pointed out
Uiat Frank Gotch, before his retire-
merit . the champion heavyweight
wrestler of the world, is taking an
aci've part in the present state cam
liaign and may be called on to cham
pion such a measure.
, Des Moines, Sioux City, Daven
port, Dubuque and Waterloo, are
looked on as being the cities which
would profit most from the passage
of a boxing law. Ten-round bouts
have been staged from time to time
in each of the cities and have been
well attended. Mason City and Cedar
Rapids and Fort Dodge, Keokuk,
Burlington and Otttimwa also are
mentioned as possible boxing cities
provided a bill can be passed.
, The state laws at the present time
provide for private club matches, but

Barber Asks $412 for Shaving Dad -And
$3 More for "Funeral Services'
Th late Julius Engelke, who resided
at 2016 Cuming street up until the
time of his death on April 27 of this
year, patronized his son, Herman,
who is the proprietor of a barber
shop at 1523 South Sixteenth streets -
Just how much he patronized his
tonsorial artist offspring was re
vealed with the recording of one of
the most unique claims ever filed in
the office of the clerk of the county
court. , -
Clyde C. Sundblad, clerk of the
county court, ran his fingers through
his blond hair and admitted that his
finely-tempered nerves had been
given a new-angled tingle when an
attorney representing the Sixteenth

into the office and filed a claim

HEAVY BLOW LANDS HARD
By A. R. GROH. .
Well, the blow has fallen.
Like most calamities, it came '.un
expectedly. '
True, we had discussed the possi
bilities of it, a little band of us who
met frequently at noon at a Douglas
street restaurant.
But as time went on and nothing
happened we gained a certain feeling
of security. We came to feel that
our fears were groundless,, .mere
empty shadows. y
So we lived in a fool's paradise.
Calamity has fallen upon others, we
said, but we shall escape. It shall
not come nigh us.
We went on, doing our work,' mak
ing our plans. All . seemed . to' run
smoothly. The old fears were for
gotten. We laughed and were glad.
as men are when all is going as they
wish and fortune smiles upon them,
A Human's Hopes.
Fpolish, you say? Yes, we see it
now. But we were only men, men
in whom hone ran at full tide, men
who saw visions, men in whdm ambi
tion stirred mightily, men who
throbbed with the desire to ac
complish great things in the world,
to make the people happier,
Ah, well, even now that the blow
has fallen, we have not abandoned
hope. Adversity is a splendid teacher.
The pure, refined gold is that which
has been tried in1 the fierce fire of
the furnace. We shall still smile.
Despair shall not overwhelm us. We
have dtermined that with all the iron
of our characters. And if, finally, we
do go down, we will go down fight
ing yet, and smiling. Men shall say
of us that our courage was iron. " -,.
! Deed Is Done.
The first dull, dumb desoair that
overwhelmed us when the blow fell
is gone. Already we are rousing our
selves from the ruin which seemed to
surround us on all sides. Already
we have made plans for the future.
We shall have to oav more dearly.
of course, 'or be satisfied with less.
We have looked that fact (squarely in
the face and are determined to
meet it. "
When the blow fell yesterday noon
when we noticed that the size of
the piece of pie had been reduced, we
called the waitress. Pointing at, the
shrunken cuts, and in voices that
trembled, we asked:
' "Why are the pieces of pie smaller
than they have been?" '
Unhesitatingly, clear and unmistak
able came her answer:
"Because they've started cutting
six pieces out of each pie instead of
five.'' .
Who could ask a better reason? Not
we; stern men of courage that we are,
rising bravely from our disappoint
ment and facing a dark future, a daily
regret , . . .-. '
Falls Down Stairs With
: . Eggs; Not One Broken
George Brown, aged 10 years, ell
down a flight of atairs in his home
at Twenty-seventh and Leavenworth
streets i and sustained a bad acalp
wound above the right eye and severe
laceration and bruises. He was at
tended by Dr. C. F. Shook. George
was returning from the grocery with
a dozen eggs- and despite his hard
fall not a single egg was broken. .

How You Carf Remove -Every
Trace of Hair
' (Toilet Talks)
A stiff paste made with some pow
dered delatone and water and spread
on a hairy surface about 2 minutes
will, when removed, take every trace
of hair with it. The skin should then
be washed to free it from the re
maining delatone. No harm can re
sult from this treatment but be sure
it is delatone you get and you will
not be disappointed. Adv.
against the estate of Julius Engelke.
The substance of the claim is that
the son wants $102 for barber work
performed in 1901 ; in 1902 the ante is
raised, the son claiming $104 for that
year's work; the claim for both 1903
and 1904, respectively, is $104.
On November 5, 1905, the son gives
his father credit With having paid $2
on the bill of $414, leaving a balance
of $412.
The father died on April 27 of this
year. The last item on the son's
claim against his father's estate is $3,
for "services rendered at the funeral,
making a total of $415.
Although the claim Is outlawed, in
view of the fact that the first item
dates back to 1901, it will go down in
the court annals as being in a "class
by itself." . ,

Why He Will
.. Vote Iky ,
Hon. T. J. Mahoney, One of
f . Who Voted and Worked
Tells Why He Has
In last week's issue of
Uhe Nebraskan, published
by Mr. R. L. Metcalfe, are
letters from a number of
Omaha citizens telling;
why they are going to vote
"dry" at the coming elec
tion. Here is what Mr. T.
J. Mahoney says:
"I am very glad to answer
your Inquiry as to why, al
though I opposed th prohibi
tion amendment in 1880, I
favor it now.
"In 1890 I believed th exist
ing license regulatory law more
conducive to temperance than
a prohibition law, which I fear
ed would not be generally en
forced. In th quarter of cen
tury which haa intervened our
license law has been violated
more openly, generally and per
sistently than any other law
upon our statute books. It has
been disobeyed so flagrantly by
in preventing prohibition that when prohibition comes, it may well
be regarded as brought about in large measure by th refusal of the
liquor trade generally to obey th Misting law.
"Now. I do not expect prohibition to work miracles. There will
doubtless be some violation and some evasion, but I expect it to
greatly reduce th evils of intemperance, and I eonaider that quite a
sufficient reason for favoring it" - :
License Does Not Regulate
As Mr. Mahoney well says, license does not remilatrV!
high license is a failure, because the law is not observed,
Isn't Mr. Mahoney's position correct?
; ' Why not accept his conclusions and vote dry. No man
need ever apologize to himself, his family or his friends
for voting out the saloon. Can you take that position if
jrba vote in its favor? '. ,

EPISCOPAL HOUSE :
FOR CONFESSIONAL
Deputies of Church Also Vote
"t for Prayer for the
1 ' Dead.
THIS BECAUSE OF THE WAS
St Louis, Oct. 26. Clergymen of
the Protestant Episcopal church will
no longer advise dying persons as
to the disposal of their property, if
the house of bishops concurs in an
action taken in the house of deputies
of the church general convention.
- This action would eliminate from
the prayer book the direction to mini
sters to urge a dying person who
has not disposed of his goods to make
his will, declare his assets and lia
bilities "for the better discharging of
his conscience and the quietness of
his executors." '
1 For Voluntary Confessional.
Provision was made for the first
time in the history of the church for
its official sanction of voluntary con
fessional, followed by absolution. The
lower house approved a recommenda
tion to insert m the service for the
visitation of the sick, a rubric direct
ing that the "sick person shall be
moved to make a special confession
of his sins if he feels his conscience
troubled with any matter; after
which confession the minister shall
assure him of God's mercy and for
giveness." The rubric, to be incorporated in
the prayer book, must be approved
by the house of bishops.
The house of deputies adopted for
the first time in the history of the
church a prayer for the dead. This
action also is subject to concurrence
of the house of bishops. -
, Heretofore, it was said, . such
prayers have been confined to the
ritual of the Roman Catholic, church.
Leaders of the convention said the
changing sentiment is a direct result
of the great death toll in Europe.
Flays Emotional "Evangelism."
Right Rev. Thodore Irving Reis,
bishop coaduter of southern Ohio,
attacked what he termed "emotional
evangelism." '"It is sensationalism
comercialized and begets irreverence,"
he added. ' -
Rev, Hugh ;L.' Burleson of New
York, editor of "The Spirit of Mis
sions," organ of the church board
of missions, was selected as mission
ary bishop for. the. Episcopate of
South Dakota' by the house of bish
ops. The selection is subject to the
confirmation of the rower house. Dr
Burleson has been rector in' Wau
paca, Wis., and Rochester, N. Y. He
also was dean of the Cathedral
Church of Gethsemane, Fargo, N. D.
Verdict for Defendant

A jury in Judge Wakeley's court

damages for injuries alleged to have
been suffered in an automobile acci
dent near Gretna, Neb., June 16. She
was one of the passengers in a car
driven by Edward Shavlik, which col
lided with Adams' machine. . In a
similar case against Adams, brought

Washington Views With Great
Disquiet Domination of Raw
Materials by Allies.
COMMERCE DRIVE NO JOKE
Washington, Oct. 26. Dominations
by the allied nations of the world's
raw materials, which are essential to
American!, manufacturers, has been
proved conclusively to officials here
by the completion today of a com'
prehensive summary of British trade
policies as to imports into this coun
try. As a result the recent Paris
economic conference of the Entente
powers is regarded here with , far
greater disquiet than before.
The proposed commercial war' af
ter the war, at first viewed skeptical
ly as 'outlining policies which could-
not survive the heat of war or the
operation of perennial economic
forces, is looked upon as a more
practical proposition in the light of
the investigations. Consequently an
earnest study of the facts available
is being made and every effort ex
tended to supplement the information
at hand. Everv indication since the
conference has tended to decrease the
feeling that its provisions could not
be carried through. Since then, it is
pointed out, the blacklist, which bad
been enforced by England for some
time, has been accepted in principle
by all the allies.
What is more, the agreement made
then for the closer economic unity
between the governments, is shown
by reports now coming in to be work
ing out through mutual concessions,
excluding other countries from their
benefits.
