A Wild and Wooly Ride.

-Four gentlemen from Rapid City,
S. D., were SO EXTREMITY rapid in
their automobile trip about Omaha
that some of them have not yet re-
covered from the shock. They had
never taken drive in a grief cart
and they concluded to make their
initial journey a lasting sensation.
They secured the fastest machine
they could get and peid for it at the
rate OF $40 an hour. Before leaving
the Henshaw hotel they made out
this premium list OF awards to be
rendered the Chauffeur in case he
would fulfill the conditions.
Forsevery dog run over, SO cents;
every boy, 81; for every policeman,
500.
It was therefore, q disappointed
crew that at the end OF three hours
returned to Omaha from Lake
Manawa, the trip had been unevent-
full.
At last the cart reached the top OF
Capital avenue hill. When the
driver refused to "cut loose' Bob
Holcomb, ranchman, decided that
he had better take charge OF the

Maps.

Robert Louis Stevenson, one Of
the most notable English writer's
known to the present generation,
was won't to say that nothing inter-
ested him more than the pursual of
a good map; and without doubt, a
map that is well made and accurate
calhes the eye and arrests the atten-
tion of many people as few other
things can do.
The men in charge of railway ira
ffic posses most positive apprecia-
tion of this fact and a large expendi-
ture OF time and skillful thought is
made on this feature sof railway pub
licity, so that such portions of the
country as the mystic and interest
ing region OF the Black Hills in
South Dakota, the wonderful noun
tain ranges compactly lrising tier
upon tier throughout the central and
western portion OF Colorado, the rich
valleys and hillsides OF California,
covered with vineyards, orchards
and grain fields, Yellowstone Park,

Yosemite, Alaska, and those regions
OF inteTlac:ng lakes and water
courses which make that portion of
the great north west located in upper
Wisconsin, southern Minnesota and
that part of Michigan known as the
Upper Peninsula, have been mapped
in detail and given to the public
gratis, far and wide.
Said an official OF the Chicago l.
orth-Western Railway recently,
while talking on this subject: "There
is no doubt that the American map

do not know of any road maps or
other detailed data for the state OF
of Wisconsin for instance that
equal those published by our passen-
ger department, showing the haunts
summer tourists and fishermen.
They are on file in public libraries
as part of their reference records.
Other portions of the western
country have been similarly taken
up bv our people and maps of q most
complete character made for them;
in fact, the western lines are fully
alive, to the value of a good map in
the hands OF the traveller. The map
publishing business of the large
railway systems is to-day reduced
to scientific principles and handled
in a most systematic manner. The
Northwestern Line prints thousand
of maps, running all the way from
large wall maps of the world, down
to the smallest details of sections OF
government land open for settlement
in the west, and from an atlas con.
tanning a series of maps Of the seat
of war in the far east TO the most
carefully worked out portrayal OF
Colorado's mountain regions, Cali
fornia winter resorts, or the summer
ing places that bound along the line
throughout the west and northwest.

1t will reveal the earnest devotion
of hundreds of thousands of first vot-

Inefficlency, uncertainty, division in

terest and good will Of the American
people. The little cotcrie under the
wing of David B. Hill in New York is
going to have a great object lesson in
the near future.
The country is safe In the hands of
the Republican party. Roosevelt and
Fairbanks are typical Republicans.
Their Endorsement, by an immense ma
jority, is certain.

DESIRE OF THE VOTERS

Roosevelt Will lse Elected and Republic
an Policies Continued.
AS election day draws near it be-
comes more certain that the Republic
an party is going to be continued in
power by the expressed desire of an
immense majority Of voters. The peo-
pie had made up their minds before
the shouting and the hurrahlng Of the
campaign began. Recently, under the
questions of canvassing committees
from both great national parties, they
have revealed their minds. Every Re-
publican will vote for Roosevelt, no
matter what local disturbances affect
his ticket. Many who We're Demo
Gratis before 1896 will vote for Roose-
velt, although, naturally, they say lit
tie about their intention, and very
large number Of Independents have
openly declared for him.
The fact is that the Democratic par
fy has shown inability to manage the
affairs of the nation. Its weakness
was SO conspicuously displayed when
It was last in power that hosts Of men
became convinced that it no longer
represented any branch or contingent
Of the intelligent people of the Unit
ed States. The free silver craze Of
1906 and 1900 completed the wreck
Of once idolized party fetch. Thou
sands of old-time Democrats, thousands
Of young men with Democratic aftilia-
tlons, deserted the ancient standard
and came into the life and vigor Of Re-
publicans. There they remain.
The election in November OF this
year will show that the men who

bank too far. Just before it caved
the boy was standing nearer to the
bank. His father saw it coming and
shouted "Loo1 out!' T6s we're
his last words. The boy sprang to
safety, but his father was unable to
get away before the earth came
piling upon him. The boy rushed
home for aid but when they removed
the covering it was but to find the
lifeless body of the beloved relative.
Samuel Parker was born in Ver-
mont sixty-six years ago. He leaves
a wife and nine children to mourn
bic loss. He was married in Kansas
in 1869, and came to this country
about ten years later, since which
time he has lived here.

by the others of the party that they
had urgent business elsewhere, and
that they regretted very much to
leave him and that they hoped to
meet him again in paradise or some
other place.
However, they were not permitted
to get out of the machine. Itstarted
suddenly down the hill at such a
hot speed that everyone wished he
had worn an asbestos coat,
"Wait! My hats gone!' shouted
P. B. Mccarthy.

Down the hill like an avalanche

and the occupants were dismally
shaken up: Then tire broke with
a sudden conclusion like a dynamite

When that occurred Holcomb tried
to stop the machine; he turned on
the brake and twisted the wheel. and
the vehicle went skidding dizz!ey
around the corner on Seventeenth
street. It struck the curb and,
hurled him on his back.
He got up with his clothes begrimed
and torn, End with his stiff hat
eushed down over his ears.

it has ever been our pleasure to
listen to. He clearly defined the
difference between the two parties
and dwelt at length upon the
splendid achievements of the admin
istration. Throughout he was given
the closest possible attention and
frequently applauded to the echo.
His speech was veritable feast of
sound argument clothed in brilliant
language and undoubtedly made
many friends for the party.
Mr.. Martin was followed by Mr..
Wilson Of Hot Springs and Attor-
ney Whitfield who both responded
ably in few words upon the issues.
The meeting was a big success
from every point of view and showed
clearly what the voters will do next

.its
more then a passing thought in Wash
ington. The fact Is that the title this
government now claims has been be-
slowed upon 1t more often by other ma
tons than by itself. The claim to the
name is not made on the ground of
territorial supremacy but because of
the undoubted dominance of this gov
eminent over the remainder of the
hemisphere.
1t would seem from careful pc
rusal of Sir Edwards remarks that he
has still grain of that feeling which
it was thought had died with George
III, or at least soon after-that resent
ment toward Americans for their re
fusal to live under the yoke of British
tyranny which resulted in their free
ing them selves once and for all from
the rule of England and starting on
it's grand march to world power the
nation of which they are all proud and
which stands for liberty, civilization,
