70 carry the grain. As II vas down hill
very little EFFORT would carry q stream OF
cats into AS granaxy q foot square. A
biustery night would obIiterate all tracks.
A pile Of brush cut from apple trees
vas piled between the granary and the
road fence; this, covered with a drift Of
snow. hid the place where the spout entered
the sPsnsry on the outside and on the
inside It was covered by sliding back a
wooden window.
This was always pushed over the hole In
the wall when they were loading oats,
70 admit light. there being no other window.
when II was closed the bin was In darkness.
OF course, the oats were delivered in
BIS barn in New Brunswick. When the
snow began to melt In the spring the
spout was removed and packed away until
the next winter.
At one time a certain village planned TO
have q great Fourth Of July celebration and
II was planned 20 have II dry.
The local officers warned the saloon keep
ers that any attempt to sell liquor in any
form on that day would be punished to the
full extent Of the law and the customs
officers gave notice to all that an extra
force would guard the road leading from
New Brunswick and all persons caught
with liquor on that day would have their
teams taken and be sent to Portland to
settle with United States commissioner.
The day dawned bright and clear and by
. o'clock the trotting park at the lower end
OF the town was swarming with people
to see the races. Half a mile away across
the nelds was a saloon on the boundary
line.
The thirsty looked at II with wistfui eyes
but to walk there for a drink through the
grass and grain was too much and to go
around by the road by team where officers
were thick as flies was not to be thought of.
Behind the park fence, close to a little
brook shaded by thick alders, was dance
floor and q little booth where lemonade and
soft beer were sold. There was soon a
noisy crowd at this place and by noon the
town and lookup were full OF drunks.
More officers were sworn in, the saloons
were searched and men sent through the
crowds to look for pocket peddlers. but
none was found.
The guards on the line road reported all
quiet in their direction and the drunks
when questioned where they got their
booze refused to tell
II was a nine-day wonder, but at last II
leaked out. Some farmers near the line

had piled up several large rolls Of half-inch
lead pipe.
The conspirators had taken this and with
the aid OF plumber had laid 1t In the grain
and grass from the line saloon 70 the dance
floor and booth near the race course.
The pipe came out under the counter in
the booth and served both as a conductor
and speaking tube. The night before a
tigger load of empty bottles had been
smuggled into the aiders and in less than
twenty-four hours 1000 of them filled with
liquor had been distributed among the
5000 people at the celebration, besides all
that was sold by the glass.-Lewiston

interviewed him. The interview was brief
and to the point Bill whipped out his two
large six-shooters, poked them in the ex-

collect a few bills for some people in
''scooptown." There was not a shadow of
criminal charge against the man and, ac-
cording to eastern codes, no ground what
ever for the Intervention Of a sheriff The
man demurred, but Bill told him IL he
didn't pay up he would shoot him full Of
holes and Bill looked as II he meant Il.
The man had the money with him, and
after a very brief delay he produced and
paid over the required amount

TWO BIG CITIES COMPARED
How New York and London Size Up
I'm Area and Various
Activities.

1t is said OF London in praise Of Its great
ness that:
In London a child Is born every three min
utes and death is recorded every Ave min
utes. The city contains 700 railway sta
tions, 5000 omnibuses, 1000 hansoms, 1900
cabs and 1000 tram cars Daily 1,000, 900
persons travel on underground railways
Eleven railway bridges span the Thames
-Four thousand postmsn deliver 10000 900
letters weekly, walking a distance equal to
twice the circumference Of the globe. There
are 10000 miles OF overhead telegraph wires,
and the number of telegraph messages
received in London in a year Is 100000.
Ninety million gallons Of water are con-
sumed daily. The railways. omnibuses.
cabs and steamboats, convey 1,273,OOO. 600
passengers yearly and the underground
railways 26s,0OO.0Oo passengers.
The lis square miles of London are lighted
by 4sH electric arc lights. LIS electric in
eandescent lights, 5000 incandescent gas
lamps and 1S,2iS fiat fame gas burners.
Well, New York can do something in the
same lines of municipal greatness.
With a smaller number Of inhabitants
than London It exceeds II in the volume of
travel, in the amount paid for work, in the
volume OF work done and in the increase in
the number of buildings, occupants Of a
building and population.
Where London consumes 9000o,000 gallons
Of water a day, New York consumes 5OO.-
10000. Where London has an area Of 11s
square miles, New York has 326.
In New York every minute two immi-
grants arrive-more than 100000 in a year
Every six minutes a child is born. Ever,
seven minutes there IL a funeral. Ever,
hour new building L. erected
New York has more children at its publ
schools than London. fewer paupers,
lower death rate, fewer uninhabited house;
more parks, more bridges, fewer jails,
better distributed street traffic and highe
standard of health.
New York's subway carries more passer
gers in a day than London's underground
The number OF crimes OF violence is twic
as large in London as in New York and tn
number OF arrests for drunkenness In Lor
don is four times as great as the number G
arrests for the same cause In New York.
New York has more fires In year tina
London and they entail greater loss.
has less shipping as a port than London
fewer clerks to the whole population EN-
ployed. but more bosses or employers.-Ney

Limits.

The train was called the limited. but what
was limited about It? 1t ran at an unlimited
speed. the incivility Of the conductor and
the brakeman was unlimited, as was the
rapacty of the porter.
TITS a mystery" exclaimed the little
party Of foreigners.
But In a moment they entered the draw
ing room car, and their wonder vanished.
'of course, It's the good taste of the
decorations" they whispered. and. remem-
bering their manners, pretended not to
notice.-Puck.

For the FIRST week in several. no sales
Of cheap Omaha suburban property were
extensively advertised In the Friday even
ing and Saturday morning papers. But
Council Bluffs came into the limelight with
the announcement BY Everest q Green
shields Of a big Saturday sale Of 200 lots
In Council Bluffs. not far east Of the Doug
las street bridge, and only eight minutes
ride from Fourteenth and Douglas. The
compelling argument OF this realty Arm was
the proximity OF the land 70 this city.
BY one thing, and another. the letting Of
the contract for the new Rome hotel at
Sixteenth and jackson streets has been
delayed. but final bids are now in the pos
session of Architect John Latenser and the
contract will be disposed Of shortly Rapid
headway In placing the concrete piles for
the building is being made, and the pro-
cess OF pile-driving 10 so unique In Omaha,
that a large crowd gathers each day to
watch the operation.
The Omaha & Council Blufs Street Rail-
way company has bought from Mrs. Eliza
Burdette Patrick for 81, 800 block Of ground
adjoining its present shop and storage
The block IL between Ohio and Miami, and
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh, and Is
directly north Of the block already occu-
pied by the company. For the present
use Of the street car company the present
quarters are large enough, but the COM
pany has made the purchase with the idea
that Omaha will one day be considerably
larger than It is now.
Work has been started by John Prende-
gast, who secured the contract on the new
brick business block for r. d. Farmer a
Co. Wholesale dealers in teas, coffees and
spices. II Is located on Eleventh street
between Dodge and Douglas. The building
will be '22x6s feet, two stories and base
ment II will be duplicated In the near
future by another building on the same
lot.
Philip Kunz has secured the contract for
the erection Of a brick store and nat build
ing at Nineteenth and Vlnton streets for
p strasbaugh, the druggist. Work is now
well under way. The building will be
two stories, 2ex6s feet, and viii cost about
1900.
