Extension of Water Mains.
Member Howell moved that a committee
OF three be appointed by the chair to in
vestigate such extensions of water mains
within the city of Omaha as may now APP
pear to be imperatively necessary, the COM
mittee to report its findings at special
meeting of the Water board to be called by
the chairman at such time as the COM
mittee may indicate it is ready to report.
The motion carried and Members Howell,
Hippo and COad were appointed. The work
of the committee will be preliminary to a
contemplated effort of the Water board to
compel the water company TO extend mains
where they are needed.
City Attorney Breen was present and in
formed the board that the 100000 water
fund raised under the last levy could not be
drawn on until January /, when Robert
Fink, county treasurer and city treasurer
ox-officic. would consolidate the books of
tho county and city ofices.
Mr. Howell reported that Beebe 4 Run
yam had complained they were being
charged IS a month for two private
hydrants, while at the same time they were
paying a meter rate for the water which
went into the MIGRANTS. The board decided
this TO be matter for the firm to settle

MURDER THEORY
L. B. Cook of Los Angeles
Disappears From Wife and
Son in a Railroad Depot
ALL TRACE OF HIM LOST
Relatives of Missing Man
Incline to the Belief
That He Committed Suicide
Special Dispatch to Tns Call

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May PIT. B.
Cook, formerly trainmaster for the
Rock Island at Trenton, Mo-, but whose
home has been at 447 South Daily
street, Los Angeles, CAL, for two years,
suddenly disappeared from his wife and
son at the Union depot and the police
have been unable to find any trace of
him. Mrs. Cook believes he has
drowned himself. He had 1926 and
tickets for himself. wife and son to
Trenton In his pockets. The police are
inclined to the theory of foul play.
Cook was "a years old. had been In
i'll health and was on his way back
from Los Angeles to Trenton. An en-
dowment insurance policy had matured
and he had to go there to collect. as
he had borrowed money on 1t. With
his wife and son, Paul, 19 years OF age,
he arrived at the Union depot in the
o'clock Friday afternoon over the Rock
Island for Trenton. His wife saw him
wandering around In the depot about
o'clock, but after that all traces of
him were lost.
II know he has drowned himself" !"
said Mrs Cook as she sat in the depot
matron's office. "He worked twenty
seven years for the Rock Island at
Trenton and went up the ladder
later chief dispatcher for the road and
was afterward trainmaster. When the
road changed hands he was discharged
and that nearly broke his heart. He
has talked OF committing suicide. In
Los Angeles he told a woman that life
was not worth living after a man had
lost a good position he had worked
hard to earn, but added that 1t took lots
of nerve to end ones life
Mrs. Cook tells OF man on the train
coming with them whose actions led
the police to suspect foul play. Accord
ing to Mrs. Cook and her son this man
boarded the train at Ell Paso and be-
gan talking in a boasting way Of his
wealth He told them he owned q big
mine in Bfsbee and wanted to sell some
shares. HE wanted me TO buy $4,000
worth OF mining stock" said Mrs.
Cook HE said ii did my son could
earn SO a day working at the mines
and my husband could work as book
keeper and get good pay. He told Of
the enormous amounts of money made
in the mining business and seemed to
show much sympathy and interest in
my husbands illness. AS we came into
Armourdale he pointed out OF the win
dow to a mill and said his brother was
head miller there and that he was go-
ing to visit him."

PaeLae and Atlantic Herring.

A Scotch fish expert who investigated
the herring fishery of the Nova Scotia
coast last summer and who afterward
went 10 the Pacific Coast TO inquire into
the herring industry there, reports that
the Pacific herring, in the main, are con-
sioerably smaller. but contain far more
oil than the Atlantic herring; that they
are adapted to a class OF kippers TO be
used within a limited time, but are not
SO suitable to pickle in barrels to COM
pete with the best Scotch or Norwegian
species; and that they will not keep so
long nor IN as good condition as the At
lantic herring. and therefore could not
compete with the properly cured article
from the Atlantic. 1t is thought that a
good market could be secured for Pacific
picked herring in China, Australia and
the Straits Settlements. as well as in the
Western States. A lot or the Pacific her
RING was put Up in barrels similar to the
best Scotch brands and sold well; but as
the best salt was not used, 1t is supposed
that the quality of the picked article
could be improved The markets men
toned would also provide an outlet for
cry-salted Pacific herring. II is recon-
mended that after the experiment in At
lantic waters is completed next fall, half
Of the staff Of the Scotch expert curers
be sent TO the Pacific Coast TO put up
some herring in the best Scotch method
and give instruction to persons desiring to

THAT PLANTS TAKE
WINTER REST ADMITTED
Many Species Hibernate In the Same
Manner as the Animals During

Many Species Hibernate In the Same
Manner as the Animals During
the Cold Season.
Plants sleep very much the same as
animals. Their sleep is quite real and
it's reality can be shown. Perhaps the
best marked form of slumber in the
vegetable world is that of the great
winter rest, when SO many species re-
tire altogether under the sheltering soil
and lie dormant, side by side with the
slumbering animals. How does the long
winter rest of animals differ, after all,
from the winter rest of the orocus or
the hyacinth, which withdraw all the
living material from their leaves In al-
tumn and bury themselves inches deep
in the soil in the shape of "a bulb till
February rains or April suns tempt
leaves and flowers out again?
The whole vast class of bulbous and
tuberous plants-indeed, the lilies, or
chfds, daffodils. narcissi. tulips, squills
bluebells and snowdrops-are they not
just alternating creatures which re-
tire underground in autumn with the
slugs and the queen wasps to reappear
in spring about the same time with the
return to upper air of the moles. the
tortoises and tho fritillary butterflies?
Plants protect themselves much the
same as insects. One of the uses of the
movements OF the sensitive plants is to
frighten animals. A venturesome brows-
ing creature coming near 1t Is afraid to
touch plant which so evidently is oc-
cupied by spirits. The squirting GU
cumber of the Mediterranean alarms
