TO DESTROY BOIL WORMS
Land Where They Hibernate
Should be Thoroughly Broken.

Mo. Peak, Tex, Nov. BIN my
talk to the Farmers Institute last
week failed to impress the people
with the Importance of disturbing
the alternating quarters of the boil
worm which is done by thoroughly
breaking the land where the last
crop of worms of the season were
raised, for that is the crop that
passes the winter and furnishes
the starting of the INSECT next
spring. This year the last crop is
raised in the late feed crop, such as
Milo Maize, Kaffir corn and sor-
ghum. Where such crops are not
grown the last crop of worms will
be found in the late cotton. Such
land should be so thoroughly broken
with IA turning plow that every inch
Of it be cut in order to break that
water proof film which l described.
The work ought to be done as early
in the winter as possible.
/ have been confined to my
room nearly ever since j was at

FIRST SHRINE PARTY PASSES
Delegation from Davenport, Ia, stops
in Omaha only Ten
Minutes.

The first of the delegates to the meeting
of the imperial council, Mobiles of the Mys-
tic Shrine, passed through Omaha yester-
day over the Rock Island. This delega-
tion consisted of a party firm Kaaba tenn
pie, Davenport, Ia, and included about a
dozen of the members of the temple with
their wives. The delegates from Kaaba
temple this year are w. c. Hayward,
George NJ. Titus, r. r.. Tabor and M. J.
Temple. Mr.. Hayward was not in the
party, but will overtake 1t at Salt AXE.
The special car of the excursionists will
make regular time to Salt Lake, where It
will lay out twenty-four hours, giving the
members time to visit the show places in
the Mormon city.
The train vas met at Omaha by a COM
mittee from Tangier temple consisting OF
Gustav Anderson. Colonel H. G. Akin, Cadet
Taylor. Victor White, Frank Brownlee, DR..
A.. Hugh Nipple. Alfred M. Olson, Henry
Hardy, M. A. Hall and M. F.. Funkhouser.
The train stopped only ten minute and
there was opportunity for no more thar a
handshake. The party from Davenport will
retprn home by way of the Great Northern,

WILL BE MUSIC in THE AIR
Omaha Delegate to National Meeting
m Trouble for south
Omaha Musicians.

Julius Meyer, who will go to Buffalo, N.
Y, next week to attend the meeting of the
National Union Of Musicians, affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor, will
carry war into the east against the South
Omaha Trades and Labor assembly, and If
the statements made by members of the mu-
sicians' union are borne out in the investi-
cation 1t is probable that the central body
Of South Omaha will be making explanations
to the American Federation within a few
weeks.
1t was noted some time ago that certain
musicians of that city had organized a union
which a~f1liates with the Western Labor
union and that there would be a struggle
for business in South Omaha. 1t is now
said that the western union has been recog-
nized by the central body of South Omaha,
which holds a charter from the American
Federation Of Labor. A member of the
Omaha union said:
"ou delegates to the South Omaha CEN
trail union have. withdrawn. The delegates
Of the rival union had been recognized and
we could not sit in the same organization.
South Omaha has been unfavorable to the
Omaha union ever since last summer, when
1t consented to the employment of a band
Of non-union men from out in the state at
the bull fighting carnival. Now, when the
matter is presented to the executive COM
mittee Of the national union and is brought
before the federation the South Omaha CEN
trail body will, either have to bounce the
interlopers or surrender it's charter"

BERKA PR0DS PROSECUTORS
Police Judge Threatens to Send PO-
Iicemen After County At
tOrney's Men.

Judge Berka Of the police court is after
the county attorney and the latter's depu-
ties with a sharp stick. The magistrate
considers that the publ.e's time is worth
something, wherein he appears to differ
from the prosecutors, and the promised re-
suit is that hereafter either the prosecutors
will appear in his court at an earlier hour
Of the morning OF the magistrate will send
an ofncer after them armed with a capias or
bench warrant.
The Judge balances the scales Of Justice
at 7 a. m. and by 10 o'clock usually has dis
posed OF the city cases and is ready for the
county's representatives. But they have
been coming at whatever hour seemed most
convenient to them, and frequently court is
in session hour after hour with nothing
doing.
1T isn't right to do business this way.
said the Judge, 'and / propose to stop It..
There's no excuse for the county prosecutors
being tardy so frequently. and hereafter 1
shall certainly send onicers for them every
morning to have them here in time If they
don't reform"

BOOK AGENT COMES TO GRIEF
Employer Says His Orders Were
Taken from People Not In
Existence.

J. H. Creighton, canvasser for &c, 900
Years OF History" had another chapter
added to his publication yesterday morning,
when Judge Berka bound him over to the
district court In the sum of $500 on a
charge of forgery. The complaint was
sworn to by A. D. Birdsell. general agent
of the publishing company, who stated that
Creighton had overdrawn his account 5000
by means of forged orders. Creighton was
sent to West Point to sell the publication
and the first day telephoned that he had
taken three orders and needed more money
to continue the good work. Birdsell sent
1t to him and the performance was fire.
quently repeated. When Creighton re-
turned to Omaha after a very successful
campaign a man was sent out to make
the deliveries. He reported that the men
who had purchased books from Creighton
existed only in the agents imagination.
Complaint was filed and several days ago
Creighton was arrested in Carroll, Ia, by
Detective Dunn.
Attorney Mcdonald, representing the
Morrison Publishing company, stated that
he would file a complaint against Creigh-
ton, after he is through with this case,
charging him with beating that company
out Of $50 In the same manner.
Creighton is about Fl years OF age and
came from San Francisco, where his par
ents are said to be highly respected people.
He was taken to the county jail.

San Francisco and is hours quicker than
any other line, and that, as less time is

pEEERs EIGHT.HoUR SYSTEM
Board Finds Il Inexpedient TO
ntrOduC New shift
at Present.

The Board OF Fire and Police commits
sioners has decided not to introduce the
eight-hour system in the police department
for a while yet. Though a majority of the
board favors the project, ii is thought in
expedient to try It for the present. since
1t will necessitate a material increase
in the force.
At Mondays meeting a communication
was read from the Prospect Hill I'M
provement club, asking that that section
Of the city which lies north OF Hamilton
street and between Thirtieth and Thirty
sixth streets be given police protection,
The secretary was directed to inform the
club that after June l a patrolman will
report regularly at the call box at Thirty
third and Parker streets.
A letter was received from Mary d. New
ton, principal OF the CASTELAR, school, con-
graduating Detectives Drummy and Mitch
ell and Patrolmen linda and Dargaczwski on
their success in handling the CASTELAR,
school burglary of May 10. The alleged
burglar has been arrested and bound over
to the district court and the goods have
been recovered. A similar letter was re-
ceived from w. B. Belt, manager for the
Nebraska Telephone company, commencing
Detectives Heelan and Johnson upon the ar
rest Of John Dixon, charged with footing
telephone pay stations. The letter called
attention to the fact that the detectives
took the case at 2 p. m. Friday, that the ar
rest was made at 6 p. M, that the suspect
confessed at II p. m. and that he was con-
victed and sentenced at $3.50 the following
morning.
A report was received from City Electro
clan Schurig on the subject Of the expedi-
ency Of remounting the big electric alarm
bell In the tower Of engine house No. 3. The
report was adverse. Mr.. Schurig said he
had Investigated the subject Of alarm belle
and had learned hat the system has been
abandoned in nearly all ties of the metro
politan class in the country. "Its only
effect is" he wrote, Ito collect a crowd OF
volunteer fremen, who impede the work Of
the regular iremen."
The secretary was authorized to solicit
designs for stars or shields to be worn by
the city police, since the stars now in use
are furnished and unsightly.
