UTILITY MEN
Agent and Operator are Now Taking
Ante Lonesome Tonic.

The gladstone smile is gone, now,
from the station agents face. He
doesn't beam any more on the agitated
young lady who rushes up to the ticket
window and wants to know if the rail-
road clock has the right time, or if it
is too fast or too slow.
Yes, the station agent is clothed in
gloom. (He says it's cheaper than buy
ing new Spring suit, and it will prob
ably do just as we'll, anyway And the
operator-he's in on the proposition,
too; same pattern, in fact, as the station
agent.
The cause of all this woe is because
they 1.-TWO men) now have to do the
work formerly done by three. The
warehouseman is gone-went on JAN
uary Is, since which time Ulery and
Gibbons have been giving daily imita-
tions of the strenuous life. It's worth
double the price of admission to see
Ulery heave out truckload of time
freight, rush to the ticket Office to wait
on bunch of clamorous Boiseites, and
then skip merrily out into the yard and
grab the numbers of 75 or 30 freight
cars. Or, to see Gibbons scratch of a
franked message, sprint all over town
in quest of the addressee, stop at the
postoff1ce for mail on his way back,
and then check out consignment Of
hurry-up freight while the receiver on
his desk is sizzling with a call from the
operator at Nampa.
But Ulery and Gibbons are not the
only ones-there are others. The ak
fell at Mountain Home, Nampa, Oald-
well, Payette, decapitating one man at
each place; Wsiser, two men; Ontario,
Ore, one man, thus removing seven
names from the payroll.

It was with deep regret that
the many friends of Miss Anna
.1nswle learned, late yesterday
afternoon, that she contemplates
taking up her residence at
Glenn's Ferry. Miss Carroll,
one of the teachers at the latter
place, was called East several
weeks ago on account OF the
serious sickness of her brother.
AS circumstances make her re-
turn problematical, Miss True
has been requested to take
charge of the school in her
stead, and has indicated her
acceptance. Miss True will re-
lieve Miss Nellie Williams, who
has been performing the duties
since Miss Carroll's departure,
next Monday morning.

nANlON'S 6IST

Last Saturday morning itsud-
denly occurred to w. H. Manion
that it was the 61st anniversary
of his birth. He arrived upon
the scene of human activity and
things January Is. 1874, in La
fayette county, Missouri, near
the Big Pigeon. This was one
of the "high- water years on the
Mississippi, but Manion refuses
to acknowledge that his advent
was in any way responsible for
such unruly conduct on the part
of the "Father OF Waters"
In the Spring of 1868 Mr..
Manion came West, and has
been a resident OF Mountain
Home and vicinity for the past
16years. He doesn't look as though
81 winters and a few odd sum-
mers had been playing leap-frog
over his chapeau; but still, you
never can tell about these people
from Missouri.

A copy of the work has been re-

valuable information concerning
the institutions, industries and re-
sources Of the State, and is an ex-

chanically. 1t would be money
we'll spent to circulate the work
widely through the East.

A MODEL LODGING HOUSE
UneQuslIed for Comfort and
HeaIthfuInesH

Poor men and women are to have a
lodging house which, in point of comfort
and healthfulness is not equaled. Work on
the building will be started in about
week, so that the house may be ready
for dodgers on January l. 1906
While providing every comfort and neces-
sity, the charge to dodgers will simply be
that they abide by the rules and keep clean.
AS first installment for the expense
OF the new lodging house the city will pay
out $4,000 for Its construction. The site
selected for the building is in the south
side Of Twenty-hfth street just east of
Fifth avenue.
with a large dining ROOM where good
food will be served, many baths, comfort
able beds. a large court and roof gar
den, those who go into the house will find
better accommodations than they receive
in any Of the lodging houses in the city
where a charge is made. While through
the medium of a fine, free lodging house.
the city is attempting to improve the con-
dition OF houses where a charge is made,
II is also providing through the lodging
house. 70 reduce the number OF men in
the city who do not work.
In the new house there will be accom-
modations for 600 persons-5O0 men and
100 women. There will be two entrances
in Twenty-hfth street, one for men and
the other for women, who on entering the
building will be ushered into separate re-
ception rooms. From there the men will
| go to the Placement, where they will leave
their street garments, and pass under
warm shower baths into drying room,
where they will be given night clothes.
J After that they will be taken back to the
first floor, into large dining room where
! Of beaIthv food will he served
: after which they either sit In the court,
| on the roof or go to comfortable enam-
eled beds prepared for them on the third,
fourth and fifth floors.
Before going to their baths all the men
will be examined and those suffering from
disease will be sent to separate baths and
after that a separate sleeping room.
| On the second floor OF the building are
| the baths for women Each of these is
separated from the others by a partition.
After disrobing no man or woman will be
| allowed 10 touch his or her clothing again
until he or she is ready to leave the next
| morning. In the interim all clothes will be
passed through a disinfecting room.
! Although It will be extremely easy for
all persons to get into the new lodging
house II will be another matter for some
to get out On passing out every person
| must pass a window, where watchers will

will be taken out and detained.-New York

A. n Hunt.

A. n Hunt.
1T seems strange to me-" said A. r.
Hunt who is one Of a group OF men seek
ing a telephone franchise for an independ-
ent company in Omaha. that we should
be met at every step with such strong
opposition. without any good or sufficient
reason being offered why such franchise
should not be granted
This new company is TO be an Omaha
and Nebraska concern, backed by Ne
braska capital We stand willing to give
any sort Of guaranty that It is not a sell
out proposition.
Here are our business organizations
spending large sums OF money and much
valuable time to draw trade and attract
friendship to Omaha; now, when we offer
to put in operation a powerful instru-
mentality for that very purpose, we are
hindered and blocked in every possible way
by the monopoly which happens at present
to have control of the local field.
I'VE have made the most liberal offer
for public franchise ever made in this
city. 1t is in line with the best develop
ment Of municipal government And we
ask simply that the people be given a
chance to vote on the proposition. What
possible argument can councilmen present
against that proposition?
For several years have stood ready to
take such a franchise, and our first at
tempt TO secure It resulted in a material
reduction in the rate charged for house
telephones by the Nebraska Telephone COM
pany.
Now, we want to appeal directly to the
people on a plain, straight proposition, and
we think the peopIe-business man and
workman alke-should insist that we be
given that privilege"

TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
Rosebud Settlers Will No Longer Pay
"1lood Money"

Sioux Falls. 8. D.. July 1.-Under the
belief that there is in existence syn
dicate" having for its purpose the con-
testing OF homestead entries In the
ceded portion of the Rosebud Indian
reservation. thus putting settlers 10
great trouble and expense. the latter
are taking steps to form a protective
organization. with the object of dis
couragtng the wholesale contesting OF
claims.
1t is proposed by those behind the
movement to secure as members every
hOrnesteader in the ceded lands. Mem.
bers will be required to pay regular as
sessments, which will be placed In a
fund to be drawn On for the defense
whenever a contest is instituted against
the entry of member of the associa-
ton.
In some instances where contests
have been instituted against the en-
tries of bonafide homesteaders the con-
testants have offered to withdraw suits
If homeAteaders interested would pay
them a batisfactory sum. Rather than
have a cloud on their land, many of the
shomesteaders have felt compelled to
pay this "blood money"
2 When the organization Of all the
homesteaders is perfected the schemers
who are working overtime at the busi-
ness of instituting contests will be
forced to abandon the practice, as the
influence and pocketbook of every
homesteader will be utilized against
them.
