A TURF TRUST
Being Formed to Include All the I'm
portant Tracks in the Country.

Chicago, April 3.-The Post today
says:
Romancers of the turf have started
story of a proposed great western race
track trust. The plan is to form an in
corporation heavily bonded to take in
all the principal race tracks in the ter
ritory over which the turf congress eX-
ercises Jurisdiction. Every track will
have a representative in the directory.
The owners of race horses will be com
PEELED to take out a certain amount OF
the trusts stock before they can race.
The minimum amount of stock to be
taken by one owner is to be set at a
figure that works no great injustice.
For every additional horse controlled
by the owner a certain amount of stock
must be taken. The idea is to freeze
out" the owner who is pot hunting for
feed bills and a stray greenback.

Chicago has an ordinance which pro-
vides a fine of $25 in each instance for
failing to furnish a sufficient number of
street cars to accommodate the traffic,
and an effort is being made to enforce
this. Policemen have been instructed
to observe cars and take the numbers of
those which are filled to overflowing.
JJp to date ten suits have been insti-
gated against each Of the three surface
street car companies, and these are to
serve as tests of the power of the city
authorities to enforce the ordinance.

REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK.

In the following from the Omaha Bee,
read Topeka and Kansas for Omaha
and Nebraska, and a pretty correct es-
innate of existing conditions can be
gained:
Unless all signs fail. Omaha and Ne
braska have entered upon new era
of real estate activity. There is no like
lihood OF a revival of the land booms of
the SOS, when people went crazy over
townsite speculationS and plotted farm
acreage into city building lots with
which everyone was expected to trade
himself rich in week. but the natural
demand for real estate holdings arising
out of increasing population and pros
perity promises a steady and substantial
accretion of property values that can
not fail to inspire people with money
with confidence in real estate invest
ments-
In Omaha the quickening of real es-
tate and building interests is noticeable
on all sides. Recent changes in owner
ship of good property all represent good
prices based on actual worth for pro-
ductive purposes Parties who during
the hard times became possessed invo1-
unfairly of lands and lots taken as
mortgage security are evincing a dis
position to make improvements and
convert them into income bearing hold
ings- As they secure returns upon their
money they can not fail TO appreciate
the encouraging conditions and not only
enlarge their own interests, but also
bring others formerly kept away by
their complaints of Improbable invest
ments-
As to Nebraska farm lands, the same
satisfactory outlook is visible. The sue
cessive good crops of the last few years,
besides putting the farmers SQuarely on
their feet, have emphasized the value of
farm lands as income bearing invest
ments- With such prospects the ac-
tivfty in real estate that has set in
should not only continue, but improve
right along

of the Commercial club of Kansas City,

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

The reason Solomon told so many
truths about women was because he

her beauty fading before a man.
1t is lucky middle-aged married
women always pick out very young men
to f1irt with, because their being kitten
ish doesn't sicken them.
One reason all women are dead sure
they can fool all men is that most men

think about.
