COUNTY BOARD
CUTS CLAIMS OF
EIGHTFARMERS
Stand of Property Owners
Near Waterloo, Neb., May
Result in Moving of
Linooln Highway.
The stand of property owners
long the Lincoln highway in the vi
cinity of Waterloo, Neb., may result
In the moving of the Lincoln high
may to a line two miles north of
where it is now. This is a point
where the highway at present runs
Dn the Union Pacific railroad right
of way.
The county commissioners have
bought a new right of way from
eight farmers at this point. Friday
morning the commissioners accept
ed the damage awards of the ap
praisers, W. O. Shriver, E. M. Rob
inson and S. P. Bostwick.
Demanded Big Amounts.
The appraisement is $21,922 less
than was demanded by the farmers.
Six of the farmers had demanded
from three to five times as much as
the appraisers awarded them. J. J.
Miller asked $4,240 for the strip of
land taken from the edge of his farm
and $5,000 for damages to his trees.
He was awarded only $1,828. W. E.
Flynn asked $7,500 and was given
H.387. J.'C. Robinson asked $10,000
nd was awarded $3,492. Ilanna
Lamb asked $2,500 and was given
$782. Janet Falconer asked $1,000
and was awarded $194. Maggie Bret
cher asked $150 and was given noth
ing. - Two others asked no damages but
the appraisers treated them on the
same basis as the others and gave
M. M. Moon $70 and C. W. Clark,
$713.
Change Highway Line.
The line of the highway is to be
changed preparatory to asking the
people of the county to vote
$.3,000,000 to pave county roads in
cluding the Lincoln highway.
Including the amount paid for this
right of way it is estimated the cost
of the paved highway at this point
will be close to $60,000.
The commissioners say that farm
ers along whose farms a perma
nently paved, trans-continental
highway is to be constructed ought
to be reasonable in their acceptance
of damages, as the construction of
the road at county expense will en
hance the value of their farms.

Match for His Irish
' Wife in Family Fight

Mary, is Irish. Battle scarred faces
of husband and wife Friday morn
ing in the South Side police court
bespoke the fact that things were
not running smoothly in the Labuta
home, 5118 South Twenty-third
strer t.

a charge of abusing his wife. The
wife, who obtained his arrest, was
present to testify against him.

SUPREME COURT
WILL HEAR CITY
DETENTION CASE
State High Tribunal to Deter
mine Whether Omaha Has
Legal Right to Ex
amine Girls.
City Attorney Weaver will appear
before the state supreme court next
Monday to defend the city's plan of
committing women to the deten
tion hospital for the cure of social
diseases. '
A test case will be based on an
application for a writ of habeas,
corpus on behalf of Margaret Davis,
who was sentenced by the police
judge to 20 days in jail, examined by
the city physician and then ordered
sent to the detention hospital.
Direct to High Court.
This case has been taken direct
to the supreme court, without the
usual preliminary hearing in the
district court. During the last few
months District Judge Redick has
denied many applications for writs
of habeas corpus in similar cases,
and he suggested that a case should
be taken to-the. supreme court, that
the city's authority might be def
initely established.
Attorneys for Miss Davis contend
that the city has no legal right to
examine and detain her when she is
willing to be treated by her own
physician.

County Commissioners May
Build Ice Plant for Own Use
County commissioners are con
sidering the advisability of building
an ice plant to supply ice to the
court house, county hospital and
R'iverview home. An ice plant can
be installed, they said, tor about
$5,000. It could be operated at the
county hospital without adding to
the present force of men. A small
truck would have to be bought to
deliver daily supplies of ice to the
court house and Riverview home.
Last year the ice for these thret
county institutions cost more than
$2,000.

CHAPTER XLVII.
The car, as though pursued by the
consciousness of some guilty deed,
turned and twisted through tortuous
roads, throwing its searching glare
into the sleeping secrets of the
woods. Ten minutes, IS minutes
had elapsed, and still they sat silent
ly side by side, each immersed in
his own thoughts. He had not
bent toward her. lie had not put
forth his hand to take hers. The
silence of the night, the guilty flight
away, oppressed him and ahead
was the waking reality of the mor
row.. His mind had been filled with
the sweeping imminence of the
great events that were impending in
the world. France, the country he
loved with a crusader's adoration,
was on the brink Of a shattering
war. Men whom he had known and
played at life with were turning
with hallowed eyes toward the great
secrifice, the final deed of atonement
that washes away all the selfishness
and the sins of the flesh. All these
last days of July and the opening
of the bleeding month of August
he had had before his eyes the spec
tacle of the titled idlers, the play
boys of fortune, leaving their rev
elries; the simple, faith-borne peas
ants waiting in the fields; the
crowded workmen scanning the bull
etin board; the women listening'in
the night. The leaping moment
of heroic regeneration was sounding
on the bugle's call, and he, soldier
of fortune, was powerless to re
spond, entangled in the trivialities
of an infatuation that had mastered
him. It had always been so.
"It's curious," he thought bitterly,
"that with all people say against
me, it is I who have always yielded
(Copyright. IBIS, by Little. Brown ft
with women. It is I who have fol
lowed where they would go."
The woman he loved was there
at his side, and yet something in
exorable intervened between them.
Perhaps it was the man's further
vision that could not dwell on the
present before the specter of com
ing consequences. He saw the head
lines in the papers, the flaunting
colored stories, the apposition of
photographs, the whole shrieking
clamor of a prying public's satis
faction in a new scandal among
those it meanly envied and pitiless
ly pulled down. Did she realize
what was coming?
"We are wounding each other ir
reparably," he thought, "and yet
how can I tell her? '
For she had done the thing he
had believed her incapable of doing.
It was mad, it was theatric but it
was from her heart. She was doing
it as a spiritual rebellion, and to
show him that in her awakened
love she was willing to sacrifice all
for him. How could he refuse that?
Suddenly he bent over and said
resolutely:
"Amy dear it is a fearfully ser
ious moment. You are sure, there
is no doubt you want to do this?
Just this way?
She looked at him in amazement.
Had he read her thoughts? Yet. she
answered:
"Yes, yes I do I'm surel"
Ever since they had fled from the
house she had but one figure before
her eyes Andrew. When would
he return? Would he read her let
ter when it was handed to him by
Gregory at the (Joor, mastering his
emotion before the servant as only
he knew how? Or would he go
with it to his room And then?
What would be the emotion in his
eyes, there alone where no one else
would be present to see? His shad
ow was there in the car, intruding
and inexorable; his voice kept cry
ing in her ears.
She felt like seizing the trumpet
and crying:
"Faster, faster! Get it done with!"
And then this question from
Monte!
What must he think of her si
lence Perhaps he too was thinking
of the one left behind, of Andrew.
Perhaps it was a touch of remorse
that held him so silent.
"Listen, Monte," she said sudden
ly. "There are some things now
I must tell you. It is your right
to know. You may suspect but I
want you to know, so so you won't
feel any responsibility."
She told him of Andrew and Inua
Dellabarre, of the new infatuation
which had come to her husband,
of his own desire that she should
take this step to set him free.
"I tell you all this," she repeated
insistently, "so that you won't feel
that you or I that we have any
thing to reproach ourselves with."
"I am glad that it is so," he said
gravely. It was not quite what she
had led him to believe of their re
lations, yet it was a justification.
"I don't think Irma will ever do
what you have done," he said slow
ly, but his mind was on other
things.
"Nor I," she said impulsively.
"And for Andrew's sake. I hope
not!" She explained, "I want to
be generous toward him. It was
not his fault. I don't blame him
I was not the wife for him it was
a great mistake. Yet I yet there
is nothing petty about him. He has
been very fine in his attitude to
ward me that is why I want to
see him really happy. You under
stand, don't you?"
"Yes, of course," he said somber
ly. This mention of the other
jarred on him. She really might
have spared him such praise at such
a moment.
What sort of a wife would she be
to him?
A sudden report, and the car
grounded hastily to a stop.
"What's that?", she cried, junip-
"Only a blow-out.
He descended and went to con
sult with the chauffeur. It would be
necessary to change a rear tire.
The accident seemed to her some
thing ominous. She got out and
walked in the shadow, while the two
men busied themselves with the
tires. Would it never end? Surely
they would miss the train now! A
whirr of motors, and she shrank
hack into the protection of the wood.
"If it were Andrew!" she thouhgt.
with a leap of her pulse.
The searchlights glared, swept the
ground, and passed.
"How foolish! What possessed
me to imagine that?" she thought.
"All ready now," said Monte
Bracken.
She sprang into the car before he
could offer his hand, and shrank into
a corner.
"Oh, do hurry!"
"Make time," he said, and got in.
"I'm horrid, Monte, but don't
mind me it is upsettingl"
"I understand, dear," he said in a
quiet voice.
They were on straight roads now,
and (the speed at which they fled
shook the car so that conversation
was impossible. She was grateful
for this, leaning forward, her chin
in her hands, staring out of the win
dow. Above, in the moonlit skies,
great banks of clouds were scurrying.
"It doesn't look real," she thought,
"Just like they put it on in the thea
ters." The next moment they had made
Burnliam village and swung up to
tin station. She sprang out, leaving
Monte to bring the bags, and ran
up the steps. The platform was de
serted, They had missed their train
by three minutes. Monte came up
valises in hand.
"It's too provoking." she said
tearfully. "We've lost it!"
"Never mind. There'll be another
soon. I'll go and make sure. I'll keep
the car, we can always run in."
"No, no I don't want to go in
the car!" shesaid hastily. To go in
the intimacy of the car seemed to
her something indelicate, something
that couldn't be done. He ought to
have understod that!
She went up the platform toward
the red, sinister lights. The night
was hot and flat. Each moment that
kept her from her purpose under
mined her resolution. Would she be
able to go through it? Even" now she
was seeking the obscurity to avoid
a chance encounter, and in a mo
ment they would have to enter the
crowded, lighted train together.
Up the platform came a shuffling
step a train hand, with smudged
lantern at his feet, smelling of rank
tobacco. What was Monte doing all
this time Everything he did irritated
her, even to the languid way in
which he returned, when he must
have known her impatience.
"Well?"
"Ten minutes, that's all."
She drew a breath of relief. But
10 minutes passed and no answer
ing shock of steel.
"I thought you said 10 minutes?"
she said fretfully.
"It must be late."
"Go and see and please don't
take forever."
First the accident to the tire, then
the missing of the train, and now
the third delayl It was intolerable.
All at once in the distance, a roar,
a white belch of steam- and along
the rails long slivers of light ran
down.
She started hastily back to the
bags as the train came rocking in.
Where was Monte? Why didn't he
come? What could he be doing?
The passengers were streaming
about her as he came up.
"It's not this one; this is a train
from New York." he explained hast
ily. "Oh."
She turned, took two steps, and
face to face with Claire Bracken 1

Neal W. Nichols, Head
of Motor Company, Is
Sued for Divorce
Mrs. May E. Nichols has filed suit
in district court, asking a separate
maintenance from her husband, Neal
W. Nichols, president of the Nichols-Rice
Motor company, Twentieth
street and Ames avenue. They were
married in Council Bluffs in 1901 and
have one daughter.
She alleges cruelty and says that
the defendant "maintained a menac
ing and irritating manner toward her
and their child.'
She also asks two injunctions, one
to keep him from entering their
home at Twenty-fifth street and
Fowler avenue and one to prevent
him from turning his interest in the
Nichols-Rice Motor company into
cash.
Th'e petition states that Mr. Nich
ols has property worth $20,000, con
sisting of his half interest in the
Nichols-Rice Motor company. It
also states that he has an income
of $500 a month, including a salary
of $250.
I "March Brings Breezes Sharp and Chill!" j
A true description of the average March in this section and it surely has been "sharp and chill" ever since the first day.
dividual characterize it in warmer if not more descriptive language. With Bryant we all feel like saying: ,
Indeed we have heard more than one in
"The stormy March ia come at last,
With wind, and cloud, and changing akies;
I hear the rushing of tha blast
That through the Snowy Valley flies."
What is true of the Valley is doubly true of our
own City, builded as it is upon a hill.
But a truce to melancholy, soon SWEET VIOLETS will be peeping forth from fields now covered with snow. Now, therefore, is GET-READY TIME.
We will show on Saturday in Ready-to-Wear Section a pleasing array. Labor conditions in the east have made it somewhat difficult to get together complete stocks.

provided a fairly complete assortment early. A sprinkling of the
very latest will be shown Saturday.
SKIRT SALES are very activeAnd "There's a reason" as the
departed "Post" might put it. Indeed, there are several reasons
two of which are specially prominent. First Skirt popularity
with one or two changes of Blouse in combination making a
pleasing and useful costume.
AT $9.75 Skirts of serge, trimmed with braid and buttons
tucked girdles, narrow lines, difficulty of duplication likely to
make for higher prices.

AT $27.50 Exclusive and elegant made from the high-class
fabrics such as pussy willow, baronet satin, tricolette and Mal
linson's famous fancies.
In the days of our youth we used to enjoy the poems of Charles
and Mary Lamb, and there comes to us now one on the "Parrot."
Oldtimers will remember it. The title was, "WHY NOT DO IT,
SIR, TODAY?"
We quote:
"An old procrastinator, sir, I am;
Do you wonder that I hate her?
Though, she but seven words can say,
Twenty, and twenty times a day,
She interferes with all my dreams,
My projects, plans and airy schemes,
Mocking my foibles to my sorrow;
"I'll advertise the bird tomorrow."
To this the bird seven words did say:
WHY NOT DO IT, SIR, TODAY?
1
Peculiarly applicable to what follows, for on theie lots pro
crastination it likely to be unprofitable. Why not do it, Sir or
Madam, today? In the morning service it best but come any
time.

Some Compliments
FROM OVERSEAS AND NATIVE LAND So many nice things
have been written and said about that sweet section opposite our
elevator that it wouldn't be strange if the "COBBS" had to use
a shoe horn to put on their hats. They take it, however, quite
modestly, and the encomiums are so numerous and so constant as
to be general. Now, this didn't just happen so but is due to the
fact that they know the business and attend to it. May we quote
a few of this week's nice compliments from Overseas: "If the
postal authorities will allow you to send me anything other than
a letter or a newspaper, I pray you send me a box of 'Cobbs.'
The last chocolate melted in my mouth around Christmas time,
and the taste lingers still." From New York State: "Where on
earth do you get your candy? To my way of thinking, it has
them all beat. Hubby never makes Omaha without mailing a box.
I wish he visited your city oftel jr." From South Dakota today a
letter says: "Some one sent me a box of your COBB'S CANDY.
I declare it is the finest I have ever eaten. Cobbs have made
another regular customer. Mayhap YOU don't know COBBS.
Better get acquainted on Saturday. Several specials for that day.
The House Dress Department
Has become amazingly popular, and yet, when one knows the
reasons it is not so strange. So many women like the air of
brightness, the atmosphere of cleanliness, the touch of chicness,
for morning wear. There is real style in some of the models,
and made from beautiful ginghams and pretty percales, they
could not be other than popular. We are letting down the prices
and reducing the profits to still further increase the sales
$2.50 to $5.95 each.

who will say I read your ad on poplins, may buy for her needs
any length of any color in our stock of silk and wool poplins.
