BOTCHY LAW. BUT WORKABLE

The Supreme Court yesterday over
ruled the exceptions of defendant in
the case of the Territory VS.. Oliver
Chairman, charged with committing
rape. In commenting on the evidence
and the exceptions, the Supreme Court
agrees that the jury law is botchy and
leaves the law in d very unsatisfactory
state, but is workable. The court says
the act as a whole shows clearly what
the intention of the Legislature was.
1T is clear that the Legislature says
the court, intended that the names
of persons selected by the jury COM
missioners and liable TO serve as grand
jurors or trial jurors should be kept
in separate boxes"

CHURCHES NAY RUN DANCES.
Devised in Omaha as II Means of
C~onhatiing Vice.


\ proposition is under way in Omaha
by several of the churches, by which they
hope to provide four halls in which to
hold DANCES for the young people who now
frequent the public dance halls of the
city. 1t is planned to hold these dances
twice a week and to nave in attendance
each night one Of the church women, who
will be interested in this work for the
young people. Rev. Is. II. Bell is at the
head Of the plan.
With a party of newspaper people. and
under the protecting wing of two city de
~tcctiyrS, Rev. Mr.. Bell visited the dance
halls of Omaha and remained until ii late
hour to study the conditions under which
many young people take their Saturday
night amusement. After these visits one
of the detectives inquired
What are you going to do? They've
got to have some amusement. these young
folks. Many of the girls have no homes
where they care to invite their company
and there is no place for them but the
dance halls and the parks and the thea
ters. Why don't the churches get to-
gether on this question .nd provide some
wholesome amusement for these young
people,"
1--WE are planning to do this" said Mr..
Bell. I'VE hope to establish at least four
halls in Omaha, where young people may
go to dance decently and in order. Dane
ing is a natural amusement for young
people and | am heartily in favor of it.
But the romping and hugging which l
have seen tonight is not dancing If we
establish our dance halls, as we hope to
do, we will ave ladies in charge OF the
halls who will look after the young people
and see that everything is conducted de-
Gently and in order. We recognize the
fact that they must have proper recrea-
ton and that we must provide something
better in the place of these dance halls.
We hope to lay this matter before the
Omaha Women's Club and have their CO.
operation in the matter

HIGH-GRADE CITIZENSHIP.

by Rev. ~. L. FOX, -. H., SnlCaSo,
There are three stages in the develop
ment of a high-gradc citizenship
Drawn, brain, benetccnce. The first
hero is athletic. Size is worshiped !;
your Young America would rather be
six feet tall than p years DID. AS he
advances, admiration for h strong
arm gives way to admiration for Il
cunning brain. He worshlpS nimble
wit, i~ncisive thought, the ability to
silver up ideas. Other scales fall from
his eyes and he beholds that not from
the head but from the heart are the
issues of life. The soldier, the scholar,
the Savior-thcsc three should be one.
But Just this has been our trouble.
Our hero has been 4 soldier and moth
ing more. Or he has been Il scholar,
and outside his books he knew nothing ;
or he was Il good man, but his grammar
was bad. SO, men have had Il palace
for the king, a cathedral for the blshop
and a howell for the people.
Life has been fragmentary. First,
man learned to see, hear, eat. walk,
| read he utilizes the soil, digs the coal,
refincS oil, spans seas, forests,
tamcs lightnings, weighs stars, makes
the idly flowing river wind its silver
skcin around the mo~ss~covcred wheel to
grind his corn, captures the forces or
electricity, making it wings for his
| voice and light for his eyes.
Because the task is great and the
time is short, man has divided his la
Dor. He is i hunter he has learned
the ways Of wild things. He is a herd
man he knows the laws of domestic

Tho Limit.

A young man from the South who a
few years ago was so fortunate as to
be enabled to enter the law office of a
well-known New York firm was first in
trusted with 4 very simple case. He
was asked by the late James @. Carter,
then a member of the firm, to give an
opinion in writing. When this was
submitted it was observed by Mr.. Car
ter that, with the TOUCHING confidence
of a neophyte, the young Southerner
had begun with the expression, Il am
clearly of opinion"
When this caught his eye he smiled
and said:
My dear young friend, never state
that you are clearly Of opinion on a
law point. The most you can hope to
discover is the preponderance Of the
doubt."-SuccesS.

RANCHES BECOME CITIES.
Fortunes Being Made in Trnnsform
ing Texas

Fortunes Being Made in Trnnsform-
ing Texas Panhandle.
The western land fever which some
wears ago attacked Oklahoma and then
shifted to Canada, is now raging vlrulent-
~ in Texas. In the last two years prac-
tically all the big ranches in the Texas
Panhandle have been bought by land COM
panies. These have arranged with the
railroads to run excursion trains from as
far east as Indianapolis at half fare.
Their eastern agents gather up the farm
ers who will come, and these are all
punched at Kansas City, Wichita or Ell
Reno, and there westerners who know
the land thoroughly and can talk a num-
my into a purchase take charge.
Amarillo, Texas, is the center of the
big land boom. Two years ago it was a
cattle shipping point, the center of the
gigantic LIN ranch. with several hun
bred inhabitants. To-day it has 5000,
and nightly people have to sleep on the
streets for lack of accommodations. The
old ranch was q miles wide and 50 long,
and was all under fence. There were
1900 sections, or nearly TO.OOO acres.
The company bought the land originally
for 30 cents an acre.
The land boom in the Panhandle be-
gan when the company that owned the
ranch divided it up into sections and be-
gan offering it at from $500 to $500
a section. A fourth of the land is yet IN
sold. but the company has gathered in six
millions for the land disposed of. Its
sale value is now from $40 to 500 an
acre. There are other big ranches in the
Panhandle, out in the Big Pasture, as
they call it. These are all being cut up
and offered to the hungry lane seekers.
There'I be a lot of dead towns in the
Panhandle when the bottom drops out Of
this boom, as it will but while it lasts
the folks are having a good time. Men
who had nothing a few years ago are rich
now. Two-thirds of the business blocks
re occupied by lane agents.
