INSPECTOR OF
ELECTRIC ROADS
May Be Provided at the Special
i5 Session.

Columbus, o., Au. 20-The Office Of
estate Inspector of Electric Railways"
may be created at the special session
of the Legislature. The building Of
many electric traction lines through
out the state has raised the question
whether 1t would not be best for the
state of Ohio to regulate them in sim
liar manner to the regulation of the
steam roads in Ohio. Behind the
movement to have this office created
are the officials of the interurban
roads which enter into Columbus, and
they are almost all in favor of plac-
ing proper restrictions upon their var
ious roads for the benefit Of the public.
K This does not mena that the roads are
being operated in manner which is
not satisfactory to the patrons, but
to prevent employees from becoming
careless and endangering the lives
and health Of their passengers.
The newly made officer which it is
intended to have the Legislature ere
ate, Is to have supervision of all the
electric roads in thesstate, as far as
the safety of the track, the car, over
head wiring, ETC., is concerned.
Sanitary conditions Of the car is al
so another thing which it is proposed
to have the official look after, in the
event the Office is created. The Gov
ernor will-bave the appointing power.

STORY
Commissioner Wagner
Didn't Tell.
It Was Found Out on Him In
Michigan.

Ithaca, Mich, Aug. 2o-since writ
ing my last letter / have travelled
northward into the central part OF
the lower peninsula of Michigan. The
country is new, compared with its two
nelghbors to the south. Many of the
fields are covered with pine tree
stumps, while considerable portion
is swampy, or covered with forests.
The soil is quite sandy. Many sugar
beets are raised by the farmers, as
well as great quantities of soup beans.
Twenty miles west OF this place is a
great potato country, n train load
Of potatoes being shipped every day
while the crop is being marketed.
The oats crop is good, while the corn
crop Is little below, the average, on
account of the great amount OF rain.
This section is largely settled by
former Ohio citizens, many coming
from Summit county. These in par.
ticular have many questions to ask
about relatives and old-time acquaint.

October /, the Ann Arbor railroad
will run it's 18th annual excursion to
Ohio. This excursion rs quite popu-

opportunity to revisit the scenes of
their younger days.
On the 2Sth Of this month AN Ohio
picnic will be held near this place,
while on the Both the Michigan Buck
eye association will hold a similar
picnic near Carson City.

tality of Mr.. Hiram Haring and fami-

lived ut Nimisila, the former having
taught school In Franklin township for
many years.
Mr.. Haring takes great delight in
telling how he has met many of his
old pupils now grown up, on his visits
to old Franklin. He says they usually
walk up and after shaking hands, tell

indirectly | am compelled to pay
my portion of what he blows in
to the saloon. 1t is a fact that
every dollar of valuation added
to the property of the district is
financial benefit to every tax
payer i'll the district. Again the
money paid into the saloon is 50
much money taken from the
legit innate business to the town
or village. | once asked the
iirst-ward grocer of North Platte
what per cent he added to his
prices to cover the loss from bad
debts incurred by trusting those
who patronized the saloons of
the city. He replied, 10per cent.
So here again on every ten
dollars paid for groceries paid
one dollar for the saloon. 1t is
true the village district gets
its $500 from each saloon.
Possible $3.50 for village improve
mcnts. All of which is an in
direct tax on the patrons who
support the business men of Sar-
gent. To get dime for your
school or village You pay Il dollar
commission to the saloon to
collect it. This is not question
of temperance, saloons or no
saloons, but of business manage
ment and common dccCncv
They say if there are no saloons
the drug stores will sell and the
condition worse than the present
Liquor or no liquor is simply {
matter of public sentiment. l
the village wants two saloons sell.

they can have them, but the
business men of the town must
do less business and hence add
more profit for every dollars
business the saloon does. AnC
this added profit must be paid b,

10 The Village Voters OF Sargent

Sargent, Nebraska, March Is,
1902:-The question of license or
no license is to be submitted TO
the village voters at the April
election. 1t is claimed by some
of the business men that it is
necessary to have Il saloon in
order to draw trade and that the
saloon only affects those who
patronize il. In other words
these business men tell the out
slider, "You let the saloon alone
and it will let you alone" This
is false. The saloon is a tinan-
cial detriment to every farmer
who patronizes the business men
of Sargent. If my neighbor
blows i'll over two hundred dollars
in one year into the saloon, and
only pays nine dollars per year
tax, it is an injustice to- every
tax payer in the school district.
Suppose the district pays three
hundred dollars a year for school
purposes, has fifty children on
the school census. This is al
average of six dollars per capita,
or the district pays six dollars
tuition for each scholar. My
neighbor sends five scholars, OF
his tax five dollars is for the
school. / send one scholar and
pay nearly twenty five dollars
school tax. With no better crops,
no better natural circumstances
help to pay twenty five dollars
per year to educate my neighbors
children who himself earns as
much ready money as | do. Ther

SOCIETY DRESSES SMARTLY
Omaha Women Pay More Attention to Their
Party Gowns,
RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM TRADITIONS
Even Men Are Inclined TO Give More
Heed 20 Requirements Of Con-
ventiOnaI Good Form in
Dress.

That there is marked tendency on the part
Of Omaha society Of late toward doing things
on a really elaborate scale, is a matter OF
BY some this has been attrib-
uted to the season for indoor affairs, that
in contrast with the informality Of sum
mer gatherings makes their conventionality
the more noticeable. This may be true,
but only to an extent. for even the most
loyal have to admit that there have been
occasions, whole series Of them, and even
whole seasons, when, with few exceptions,
society had done little out Of the ordl-
nary, and the very ordinary at that. 1t
has long been a matter OF comment that
Omaha society is subdued in matters OF
dress, even TO the extent Of being con-
spicuous at times. It has happened re-
peatedly that visiting women have re-
turned to their trunks unused half the
Gowns they have brought, not because
there has been no occasion for wearing
them. but because to have done SO would
have made them conspicuous-by contrast.
Il is not that the gowns Of Omaha women
are lacking in richness of material, but
rather a reluctance on the women's part
10 adopt the more elaborate costumes, ex-
cept on extra occasions. They are dressy.
Even at the large afternoon affairs, and
frequently at evening gatherings, the cloth
gown is commonly worn by women ordi-
narily looked TO to at least maintain, II
not set, the standards in matters OF this
kind. This same sobriety is noticeable OF
theater audiences, but while the women are
TO be commended for their delicacy In
dressing for public gatherings, It has fire.
uuently occurred that street gowns and
even shirtwaists have been worn on occa-
sions that have in other cities called out
full dress audiences.
Nor is this confined to the women alone.
1t was recently said by the representative
Of an eastern mems furnishing establish
ment that there is little demand here
for the best Of his line, but that Omaha has
good tailors who meet the demand. OF
the recent gatherings, however, there has
only been cause for admiration. Never
before have there been so many imported
gowns in evidence-and the women are
wearing them, too. An innovation to the
afternoon gathering is the wearing through
out the period of the most gorgeous hats,
At one Of the large card parties given re-
Gently quite half of the women wore their
hats all afternoon. Smart as it seems,
there are those who insist that it is only
a fad that will be too short-llved to war
rant adoption by those liable to headache
or the disinclined.

HARTMAN WRITES TO M'NEIL
VIII Get No More south
eru Engines,

e. II. Hartman has assured gohn Nc
Neil, president Of the international Broth
erhood Of Boiler Makers and Iron Ship
Builders. that no more Southern Pacific To-
comotives will be sent TO the Union Pa
cifc while the strike lasts on the latter
road. This is the context of a letter re-
ceived by Mr. Mcneil from Mr., Hartman
in answer to one sent by the boiler makers
president advising the head of the Southern
and Union Pacific roads that If the former
persisted in reinforcing the Union Paciic's
motive power under existing conditions Nc
Neil would call out every Southern Pacific
boiler maker on a strike.
A COPY of the Hartman letter has been
forwarded by President Mcneil at Kansas
City to the boiler makers here. The terms
of this letter confirm the local strikers
view that Hartman is not favorable to a
p~rolongation Of the lockout.
Eight new locomotives have been re-
ceived by the Union Pacific from the Bald
win Locomotive works, and President Nc
Neil found to his satisfaction that these
were made for the Southern Pacific, but had
been sent to help the Union Pacific out of
it's present dilemma. The protest was then
made to Hartman. In his letter Hartman
says he was not aware that Southern Pa
CHIC engines nad peen sent 10 the Union
Pacific and that II such were the case it
must stop, for, in the first place. the busi-
ness of the Southern Pacific would not per-
NIT 1t. He advised President Mcneil that
his letter had been turned over to the road
superintendent with his instructions. The
strikers feel that they have gained a great
concession in this, as the motive power is
the vital point.
j. w. Kline, the blacksmiths' executive
committeeman, has returned to Omaha
after several weeks absence. He brings
with him a substantial sum of money to APP
ply on the blacksmiths' benefit fund. His
collections will greatly strengthen the
financial condition of these strikers.
Fifteen new recruits were imported BIZ
the Union Pacific from Detroit yesterday.
One Of the crowd is James Dufy, who left
the shops upon arrival.
81 am a shoemaker by trade" said Duffy,
"and wanted to get west. 1t was no use
for me to go into the shops. for l know
nothing Of machinery. l hired as a boiler
maker"
w. II. Esterline, chief guard at the shops
who boosted Friday that he was through
with the Union Pacific, announces now that
he will stay to the last.
