HOW WILL CROP Be HAULED
RAILROADS PERPLExED OVER
PROBLEM OF CARS.
BECAUSE OF CROP IMMENSELY
The Corn in This Section is Superior
to That in Most Fertile Parts Of
Iowa, II is Said - Will be Out Of
Frost's Way by September is.

Railway officials in northern Ne.
braska are just now wondering where
they will ever be able to gather in
enough cars for the transportation of
the immense crops which are just now
ripening in this territory. All records
have been broken this year, it is said,
and the problem of handling the out
put of north Nebraska and southern
South Dakota soil is a perplexing one.
People who have Travelled through
Iowa within the last day or two say
that the corn in this section is much
finer than it is even in the most fer
tile parts of Iowa.
1t is estimated now that the entire
crop of corn will be out of the way Of
frost by September Is, and it is not
expected that there will be a frost
that early, in spite of the light touch

WHISKY MONOPOLY.
Peoria Hears Of Scheme to Corner
Spirits-AIcohol Bill Mentioned.

Spirits-AIcohol Bill Mentioned.
Peoria, H., Aug. 29.-The Standard
Oil company has taken steps toward
acquiring ownership of all the princi-
pal distilling plants in the United
States.
This announcement was made in
distilling circles and came as sur
prise to those who were unaware that
conference had been held in Chicago
between representatives of the distil-
ling interests and the Standard Oil
company for the purpose of trying to
agree on terms.
A price has been set on every distil-
lery in Peoria, trust and Independent
house, and the present indications are
that the deal will be effected and all
plants pass into the hands of the Stan
dard Oil company within ten days.
For months dealing has been going
on, but it was not until last Friday the
distillers placed a price on their plants
in conference held in Chicago. This
conference was attended by distillers
from Peoria, Cincinnati, Terra Haute,
Louisville and other distilling points.
They met the Standard Oil representa-
tives and made price on their plants.
1t is said unofficially that the prices
on the plants were considered too high
by the Standard Oil men and that the
latter threatened, If suitable terms
could not be reached, TO build distil-
ling houses of their own and drive the
distillers out of business.
The chief reason for this activity
on the part of the Standard is the de-
natured alcohol bill, recently adopted
by congress. The Rockefeller inter
ests engaged expert chemists. and
after experimenting, they have report
ed that the product cannot Oe manu-
factured cheap enough TO make it a
serious competitor of gasolene, but
that it could be used in the manufac'
ture of mercerized cotton and other
| fabrics and that it would be an eX'
tremely favorable product to control

QUAKE HURTS TEXAS OIL.
Some American Wells Dried Up-Oth-
ers Show New Kind of Oil.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 29.-Remark-
able changes in the oil fields of Texas
since the Chilean earthquake are as
cribed by scientists and biologists to
the seismic disturbances. The author
tiles declare that the movements of
the earth have opened new channels
for the immense subterranean reser-
voirs of oil, and that the fields within
100 miles of the coast will soon be eX-
hausted.
After the earthquake all the Texas
fields began to show a startling and
rapid declire, while an oil heretofore
unknown in this part Of the country
has replaced the crude oil in three or
four of the wells. This new oil is very
light, and it is believed that there has
been a general shifting Of the oil and
strata.

MAKES A TRIP THROUGH THE

HIS HONOR PROPERLY ESCORTED

Light" District In the Wicked City.
Lincoln, Aug. 29.-Not to be out
done by Secretary Wilson of the agrI-
cultural department, Governor Mickey
made "gumshoe" trip to the pro.
scribed district of Omaha Saturday
evening and personally inspected the
conditions there. As n result of his
Haroun al Raschid exploit, the state
as South Omaha, needs more rigid
law enforcement,
Governor Mickey inspected the red
light district" in company with his
private secretary, A. h. Allen, and
the night captain Of police at Omaha.
The trip was arranged at his own sug-
gostion. The trio visited nearly all
the saloons on Capitol avenue from
Ninth to Eleventh streets and others
in that locality. What the governor
saw there is described by him as "a
mass of corruption and moral sewer
age" He thinks that possibly Omaha
Is no worse than other large cities,
but his impression Is, nevertheless,
that the situation is pretty bad and
needs to be looked after.
About ten saloons were visited al
together" said the governor this morn
ing. I'm one of them four women
were drinking at the bar. | didn't see
women in any of the other places, but
there are all kinds of resorts next door
to the saloons The police officer ad.
mitted that the presence Of women In
the barrooms was a bad feature
There is no law prohibiting 1t, but he
told me it has been the policy of the
fire and police board at Omaha to re
fuse to renew the license of any deal
er who tolerates women in his place
of business"
The governors visit to the slums
of Omaha came at the close of the day
when he was in South Omaha to in
vestigate the charges against the fire
and police commissioners of the latter
place, and was for the purpose of Sc
curing ocular evidence of the condi
tions existing in the metropolis.
While the governor became satisfied
that the saloons of South Omaha are
being kept open on Sunday in viola
tion of law, yet the records show that
thirty arrests have been made for Sun
day liquor selling, but that on triaI
before juries IL was impossible to con
yict in any case. In accordance with
the wish of Gov. Mickey the Soutl
Omaha board of fire and police com
missioners promptly issued an order
for Sunday closing.

He RAISED ROUGH HOUSE
CLEVELAND DAVIS, A TAILOR, is
IN THE TOLLS TODAY.
CHARGED WITH CARRYING GUN
On Complaint Of Fern Mcdonald, Da.
Wis Was Arrested and Brought Into
court-He Claims He Was Trying
to Get Young Girl Out Of House.


There has been something doing
around city court circles in Norfolk
today. One case has held the boards
all day long, but that one case has
served as a magnet which drew,
among others, three or four danes
clad in gay gowns that rustled up
and down the city hall stairs. 1t
was a case which was begun when
Cleveland Davis, young tailor, was
arrested on complaint of Fern McDon-
aid. The young man was charged
with carrying concealed weapons and
starting a rough house in her resort
on Sunday.
1t is alleged in the prosecution that
Davis had drawn a revolver and
threatened to do some shooting, and
that he had tried to break in a door
with a heavy block of wood, which
was produced in court as evidence.
Since conviction on the charge
might mean year in the penitentiary
for Davis, he determined early in the
day to fight the case and retained an
attorney. His defense was not alto
gether devoid of sensational features
because he declared in advance of the
trial that he would endeavor to prove
that the case against him resulted
from his efforts to get one of the in
mates away from the resort.
Davis declared that young woman
whom he called Dora, and whom he
claimed to be under twenty years of
age, was tailoress by trade and that
her wayward life in Norfolk was her
first experience of the kind. He
claimed that he intended to get work
for the young woman in tailor shop
somewhere and that for this reason
he had been threatened at the place
and, being threatened, he carried an
old gun with which to run bluff.
When he was ordered out, he says
he drew the empty gun and excite
ment followed by way of a general
rough house.
Davis is little tailor who has been
working in Norfolk for about two
weeks. Yesterday afternoon he was
arrested and lodged in Jail, where he
remained all night and all day today
except at intervals when he was called
for trial and then sent back. This
morning he retained Powers and Barn
hart as attorneys in the case and Mr.
Barnhart has had charge of his de
tense. ..
At 9 o'clock this morning the case
was first called in Justice Eisely's
court At that time the defendant
called as witness the young woman
Dora" and an adjournment was TAX
en- until this afternoon at 2. At that
hour the defendant asked for change
of venue to Justice Lambert's court
which was granted and the case was
called at about $3.50 before that jus
tice.
At o'clock the case was adjourned
until Friday morning.
