Fathsr's Teachings Gat Com
mendation From Black
smith Instructor at
Camp Logan.
John Kisicki, 2641 X street, a South
Side blacksmith, has two sons in
training camps preparing to serve
Uncle Sam. Paul aged 25, is now
with a band at Fort Riley and ex
pects to be transferred soon to the
first band. Omaha boys he has met
there are Joe Scheiger, E. Drexel and
Mr. Echteymer from west Q street.
Clement Kisicki, aged 21, is a black
smith with Company A at Logan,
Utah, and Writes an interesting letter
of his first lesson in the art. After
making a wedge he was asked by
the instructor to sharpen a pick.. This
he did, at the same time tempering it.
When the instructor saw the work
he tried it by dropping it on the ce
ment floor on the point. This made a
hole in the floor about three inches
in diameter and so pleased the in
structor that he asked the boy who
taught him the trade. The credit
was gladly given his father.

Emergency Live Stock Rate
To Aid Feeders in Dry Belt
When interviewed on the new rail
road rate ordered yesterday on live
stock in the southwest by the rail
road commission, Local Secretary and
Traffic Manager Stryker said: "The
new rate was put on as an emer
gency rate to enable stock owners of
Texas particularly to move catile in
to the southeast territory with partic
ular reference to Georgia, Florida and
Mississippi, on account of the exten
sive drouth in Texas. .'
This matter was presented to the
regional director's office by the Live
Stock Shippers' protective league.
Mr. Stryker was one of a committee
of two which handled this matter in
Washington..

Htckford of Corning,
The story of a- "returned prodisal"
was recently printed in a narrative
concerning the mystical happenings
that have befallen a former Omahan,
Louis Metz, now a resident of Los
Angeles. Mr. Metz was back in Oma
ha for a short visit and the Omaha
Examiner gathered data for the fol
lowing story which appeared in that
paper:
"Louis Metz, whose home is now in
Los Angeles, is passing a few weeks
in Omaha to close up his business af
fairs. During his residence of a year
in California a wonderful change has
taken place in his personal appear
ance. . "Thirty years ago he met with an
accident which resulted in the loss
of his hair on the top of his head
where the hair ought to grow. To
cover his baldness he wore a dark
wig. A few months ago when ad
justing it in front of his mirror he
noticed a slight growth of hair on
his bald pate. He was startlingly
encouraged.
"Going over to Catalina Island he
remained there a month and threw
aside his wig and roamed about bare
headed. The hair took a big start,
coming out gray, as Louis is 30 years
older than when he lost it.
"To make a long story short,
Louis Metz today lias a head lull ot
thick, gray hair and is the hand
somest and happiest and proudest
man between the Missouri river and
the Faclfic coast. His friends have
difficulty in recognizing him owing to
the wonderful transformation.
"This is not an advertisement for
any hair tonic. It is simply a hair
raising story. And furthermore it is
true. How it happened Louis Metz
is unable to say. lie declares it is a
miracle. It certainly is a remarkable
fact."-

In the language of the military ex
perts the morale of the republican
party in this county, following the
primary clash, remains' high.
Prospects of success are good.
Defeated candidates are unanimous
in pledging support is successful op
ponents and to the entire republican
ticket.
Before he hurried away on a vaca
tion to Massachusetts N. I. Dodge
assured Albert W. Jefferis, his con
gressional rival, that he would con
tribute to- the campaign fund and
help for the interests of the republi
can nominees.
Mr. Dodge gave assurance that
there were no "sore spots" on him.
Mr. Jefferis has also received a letter
from Mr. Dodge, extending congratu
lations and promisirig hearty sup
port. Happy as June Bride.
J. J. Boucher, who wanted to be
county atorney, appears as happy
as a June bride. He writes the fol
lowing statement:
"Early in the campaign I had the
thrill that comes only once in a life
time. I saw the new moon over my
right shoulder and from that time on
there was no doubt in my mind as to
my nomination. When the returns came
in and I observed the large num
ber of votes that I didn't get, I felt
like the disappointed farmer when he
returned from having sold his hogs
and said to himself, The derned hogs
didn't weigh as much as I had ex
pected and I didn't expect that they
would.' And now that the excitement
has passed and I see the large number
of votes that were intended for me,
but which were copped by the other
fellows, I think of the soldier at Camp
, Funston who was granted a furlough,
but had no money with which to
pay his way home. Remembering his
early training, he wrote a letter to the
Lord asking for $100. The letter fell
into the hands of the boys at the
Young Men's Christian association
hut, who made up a purse of $50 and
sent it to him in a Young Men's
Christian association envelope,
without notation. In due time
there came another letter from the
soldier, advising the Lord that the
next time he sent money to send it
through the Knights of Columbus, as
the last time the Young Men's
Christian association guys kept
out $50. That was the first time
I ever had my hat in the ring and I
had lots of fun out of it. I am for
the ticket and now that it has been
nominated I am going to do all that
I can to elect it."
Stands Back of Ticket.
W. I. Kirkstead, one of the de
feated republican legislative candi
dates, said: "The republican nominees
will have my support. We all had a
fair chance and the best men won.
In fact, I think this republican ticket
is the best we have had in many
years."
"Now is the time for the republi
cans of Douglas county and of the
state to get together," says Bob Smith,
who admits that his slate of candi
dates were defeated. "I am ready to
do all that I can for the success of
the party this fall."
illiam Adams, Pioneer
in Cattle Business on
Omaha Market, Dies
William Adams, one of the old
time traders in cattle, died Tuesday
at his home, 2623 South Thirty-second
avenue. He had had as much to
do with the upbuilding of the dairy
business in Omaha as any one in the
trade. He was a good judge of dairy J
cattle and did much to help poor
dairymen get a start. He was 66 j
years old and had been a dealer in j
cattle at the yards for. about 25 years, i
Funeral services were held Thursday J
at the Dodder chapel. Rev. Titus ,
Lowe officiated. Burial was in West
Lawn cemetery.
Heavy Run of Shaep Starts j
to South Omaha Stock Yards!
"The light run of cattle this week is
due to the farmers and ranchers being
busy putting up hay." says E. Buck
ingham, vice president and general
manager of the Union Stock Yards
company. "We are looking for a
heavy shipment next week. The run
of sheep has been exceptionally large
this week for so early in August,
amounting to-123,000 head."
Captain from Honolulu is
Assigned to O-naha Depot
Capt. J. R. Gait of Honolulu came
to Omaha Saturday. He has been as
signed as disbursing officer of the
Omaha quartermaster's corps and will
begin his new duties at once. Mrs.
Gait accompanied the captain to
Omaha and they will make their fam
ily home here. Their two sons, John
and Carter, are both in the service.
Have Same Initials,
Work at Same Job and
Celebrate Same Day
W. J. (Billy) Byrne, manager of
the Orpheum, and W. J. Burgess,
manager of the Boyd theater, have
more in common than the initials
of their names.
They will observe their birthday
anniversaries on Monday. They
agree that they are "more than 21,"
but can not agree as to their real
ages.
Each contends he is younger than
the other and there seems no hope
of an agreement.
Omaha is to Be Able to Get
Some More Colorado Coal
The Chamber of Commerce sent
protests to Washington, protesting
against discontinuance of service on
the Denver & Salt Lake railroad, the
"Moffat line." This would have
withdrawn a large amount of coal
from Omaha, as well as from other
places in this section. The govern
ment has now agreed to operate the
road, paying half of the wages of the
employes while the receiver pays
the other half.

Woman Attempts to Take
Life by DiinKir.g Poison
Mrs. Nellie Tinker 401 South Fif
teenth street, attempted suicide at 3
o'clock Saturday morning by swallow
ing a number of corrosive sublimate
antiseptic tablets. Domestic trouble,
she told the police, ko her to attempt
to take her life. She was revived by
Police Surgeon Edstroni. Her hus
band, Charles Tinker, is a street rail
way motorman. Thty have two chil
dren, 2 and 10 years old.
The longest parade that has march- j
ed in the streets of Council Bluffs in i
recent years signalized the opening!
of the military carnival last night. It
started at the intersection of Pearl
and Main streets and when the head
had countermarched at the Broadway
Methodist church and reached North
Eighth street on Broadway the mov
ing line was still coming up Main
street from the starting point, mak
ing the double stream on Broadway
alone more than a mile long.
The parade was a manifestation of
the hearty response to the appeal of
the entertainment bureau for a
spectacular opening of the carnival
It was wholly a home affair, and
was not led by the quadruple platoon
of United States soldiers promised by
Major Thompson at Fort Crook.
One of the interesting features was
the great array of service flags car
ried by individuals, manufacturing
and business firms, fraternal and civic
organizations.
Carry Service Flags.
Some of the flags proudly displayed
by the latter bore 100 or more stars.
Another feature that was liberally ap
plauded was the big service flag of
the First Baptist church, carried in
defiance to the action of the Ministe-i
rial association. ;
All of the Catholic churches and :
societies were vcrv prominent. Fol-
owing a platoon of police a band of i
j0 pieces furnished by the Beno com
pany led the parade, and behind the
band came the famous drum corns.
The paraders moved between double
rows of automobiles lining both sides
of the streets, and for the half hour!
required for its progress all traffic
was suspended, including the street
cars.
When the parade disbanded the
crowd poured through the carnival
gates, and a record first night at
tenance was the result. The car
nival will continue all this week.
