Close Rival of King Midas
Judson E. Wagner, who enlisted
as a private in the Omaha battalion
of the "dandy" Sixth regiment
Wednesday, is greeting all his friends
with a "golden smile."
Wagner applied for enlistment sev
eral weeks ago, but was not accept
ed because of bad teeth.
Dr. A. P. Lucas heard of Wag
ner's case. "Send him up to me," the
dentist told Rev. Mr. Leidy.
Now Wagner has enough gold in
his mouth to be rival of Midas.
Dr. Lucas would not accept a cent
of pay for the job on the new recruit.
"Send up some more," he advised offi
cers at the recruiting station.

$1,000 insurance on the building and
$500 on the contents.
Just as the fire company reached
the station from the Vesial fire an
alarm was tu.ned in from 5709 South
Thirty-sixth street, where an oil stove
in the hme of John Currin had start
ed hre. lne biaie was extmguisnea
before the fire department arrived and
with slight loss. ,
Arrested for Trespassing.
Of the thirteen arrests by South
Side police Tuesday, seven were for
trespassing. The railroad companies
and the stock yards havv special offi
cers guarding their property and the
number of arrests indicates how care
fully the transportation facilities and
pacKing centers are being watched.
All suspicious loaf:rs are picked up

They were fined $1 and costs each.
Wife Abuser Jailed.
Mrs. Henry Collins, 4216 South Sev
enteenth street, testified in police
court Thursday against her husband,
who was arrested Wednesday on a
charge of wife beating and drunken
ness. The young wife told a pitiful
story. Tuesday night during the rain
storm Collins came home drunk, she
said. He made his wife, who was in
bed with the baby, get up and drove
her out of the house. Later she re
turned to the house and tried to tear
off a screen so she could get in and
she found her cousin, a woman, with
her husband. She alleged that both
were drunk.
After hearing the testimony, Police
Judge Madden said, "Do you know
what we ought to haver we ought to
have' i whipping post for all you
wife beaters. '
He was given sixty days in the work
house and was told to turn his money
over to his wife. At first he remon
strated, but finally he handed her
$11.43 found in his pockets. Mrs. Col
lins had only $Z with which to sup
port herself and child, lne home is a
two-room shack. Collins is employed
by the Fairmont Creamery company.

Cash Corn Soars on Omaha !
Market as Demand Increases
While- talk of discontinuing the
trading in futures may have catised
September and December options on
com to sell off 23 cents from
Wednesday, it had no effect on the
continued upward flight of the cash
article.
The cash corn situation, according
to members of the Omaha Grain ex
change, is governed entirely by sup
ply and demand. The supply is con
stantly growing less, while the de
mand is increasing by leaps ,and
bounds. Today cash corn in Omaha
sold at $1.84J41.88 a bushel, an ad
vance of 13'4 cents a bushel over
the prices of Wednesday. The re
ceipts were 101 carloads.
The cash price for corn is a long
way above the option. September
delivery was selling at $1.591.60j4
and December $1.16I.19. -
Wheat receipts were light, there
having been but three carloads on
the market. Prices were around
$130 a bushel, practically unchanged
from Wednesday.
Oats were up a half cent, selling at
70Mi71 cents a bushel. Receipts
were twenty-seven carloads.

"Home of the Columbia Grafonola.
The Fourth Nebraska, now sta
tioned at Fort Crook, need 300 more
men to bring it to war strength.
Colonel W. E. Baehr says that he
hopes to get these before the draft is
made, for he feels that it will be al
most impossible to get recruits after
that.
"There is a popular impression,"
said Colonel Baehr, "that our short
age in men will be made by taking
drafted men. That is not true. No
drafted men will be assigned to this
regiment. The drafted men will all
be sent to the cantonment camps for
training. Our force must be made up
of volunteers, entirely."
Colonel Baehr says no mother need
fdar bad company in consenting to
let her son join the Fourth, and that
every mother may be assured that
the officers of the regiment know how
to take care of the enlisted men in
the field.
Officers of Experience.
"Every field officer in the Fourth."
said Colonel Baeht, "is equipped with
at least fifteen years of experience in
work and study. Twelve captains In
the regiment are men of over four
years' experience, and men who saw
service on the border last year. It
takes experienced men to care for the
soldiers in the field, and we have
taken care to have nothing but such
in the offices."
"Wc are taking only men of charac
ter and morality. We want none but
these. It might be surprising tc some
to know that my records show I
have rejected over 3,000 applicants
becaus; they did not measure up to
the standard of the Fourth.
"We have 1,500 men in the regiment
now of this clean type, and we want
500 mote."
Many Recruiting Stations.
The Fourth is maintaining recruit
jng stations in every town in the state
that has a company in the regiment.
The recruiting station for the com
pany in Omaha is in the First Na
tional Hank building, Sixteenth and
parnani streets.
Military men are of the opinion that
the dratt will begin Saturday of this
week, find that after that it will be
difficult if not impossible for men of
conscription age to get into volun
tary seivice in any of the organiza
tions. Young Women Name, Camp
In Honor of Miss Brewster
Hereafter the clubhouse and the
athletic grounds of the Young Wom
en's Christian association, but on the
Fort Crook boulevard, will be known
as Camn Brewster. It is given this
name, in honor of Miss Clara Brew
ster, nhvsical director of the associa
tion, who got out last spring and1
boosted for the purchase of the
erounds and building, making .the
camp possible.
The meeting at which the camp
name was agreed upon, was held at
the camp last night, when a large
number of the association girls were
in attendance. In fact, the occasion
was the annual meeting of the athletic
association.
