to Democrats generally that this condition

able that Democrats who desire their party to

..CKENS AS GOLD DIGGERS
j. =. Reinhardt VIII start Poultry
Farm on Mineral Claims in
south Dakota.

]. B. Reinhardt OF the Midland Glass and
Paint company will start a chicken ranch
near Hanna, 8. D., according to a recent
issue of the Lead City Call The story
goes that when Mr.. Reinhardt was in the
Black Hills a short time since he and
Johnnie Mengel of Hanna bought some
chickens from the ranch of Charles
Burgess. and on killing them found their
crops filled not with gravel, but with
small nuggets of gold. The Call says;
They purchased all Mr.. Burgess chickens
and are now pcgouating for the lease OF
should Mr.. Mengei and Mr.. Reinhardt
succeed In securing a lease on Mr.. Burgess
property II Is their intention to stock the
place with chickens to the number of sew
eral hundred and every two weeks kill the
batch, clean up their crops, sell their car
casses to local butchers and then drive on
a bunch of several hundred more and con-
tinue the process. Mr.. Mengel, who Is
great on figures, estimates that by this
means he will be able to get all of the
gold that is in the gravel along the creek
and will not have to go to the expense OF
hiring men or putting in expensive ma
chinery. He says II Is great scheme and
will organise stock company at once, and
when Mr.. Reinhardt reaches Omaha he will
foat the stock and finance the Hanna

VARIOUS CREIGHTON DEANS
Those who VIII Direct Affairs of the
Many-sided Institution
This Year.

While President M. p. Bowling has the
general supervision of all the colleges that
constitute the Creighton university, II is
held to be quite impossible for one man
to arrange and manage all the details for
the different colleges. To assist the presi-
dent, therefore. every year deans Of the
various colleges are appointed. The dean
this year, as for many years. Of the John
A. Creighton Medical college Is Dewitt G.
Bryant, A. M, M. D., who presides over
faculty of ffty-six specialists. From
the inception Of the Creighton Medical
college DIR. Bryant has been It's most en-
thusiastic supporter and promoter. In adj
dition to holding the once OF dean, Mr..
Bryant is professor OF ophthalmology, and
Is oculist and aurist to ST. Joseph's hospi-
tai and the Mercy hospital. and IL also
consultant to Douglas County hospital
In the college OF law 7. j. Mahoney Is
the dean and he IL also professor OF in
ternationai and administrative law. c. J..
snyth is associnte lean Of law, and in the
college processes code pleading and quasi
contracts. Mr.. smyth is a graduate OF
Creighton College Of Arts and has served
two terms as attorney general for the state
of Nebraska.
Rev. Michael J. o'Connor, 8. J., is vice
president of Creighton College OF Arts,
Twenty-fifth and California streets and
is also project of studies. The Office he
holds is in some way similar to the deans
of the other colleges. He has practic@ ily
the management of the classical college of
the university on his hands. He has been
| In Omaha several years.
| The new dean OF the Dental college, who
succeeds dr.. Metzier is Rev. Michael j.
/ Ryan, s. ]. He has not of course, the
scientific or practical knowledge of the
dental art but his known ability as an
organizer and his genial ways will, It ia
said, make him an ideal dean for this
| growing institution. 1t Is expected that
owing TO the amalgamation of or ABSORB
| ton of the Omaha Dental college this
summer there will be a large increase In
the number of dental students when the
school opens on the FIRST Monday of Octo-
| ber Preparations are being made to ac-
commodate 100. Father Ryan, besides full
filling the ONCE of dean, will also be pro-
fessor OF moral principles and dental prac-
tice and will lecture TO the classes on the
ethics OF the profession.
F. NJ. Gordon. d. ID. s. (Humphrey, Neb.)

HERDMAN DICTATES TO PRESS
Former Assistant City Attorney 200
poses to Regulate Newspaper
Editing In Nebraska.

While dlsclaimlng any ambition TO
emulate the press-muzxling governor of
Pennsylvania, Will Herdman, former as
sistant city attorney, has conceived the
remarkable idea of debating to newspaper
publishers of Nebraska how to run their
business. Herdman declares he will frame
and have introduced In the next legislature
a bill to require the signature OF the
writer to each separate bit of news or
editorial matter appearing In daily news
papers or other periodical publications, ex-
cept matter furnished by a designated news
bureau, In which case the name of the
bureau or association would be SUFFICIENT.
In addition to this II the insertion of any
article is paid for. II must be marked 'ad-
vertisement" and be followed by the name
OF the person or company or corporation
footing the bill.
1t is Mr. Herdman's idea that this pro-
cedure would clarity the minds Of readers
IN distinguishing between the true and
unbiased news reports and editorial utter
ances OF a publication and that accepted
and paid for at space rates by interested
persons. Mr.. Herdman has noted that now
and then matter absolutely contrary to the
avowed editorial attitude OF certain news.
papers has appeared, not labeled In any
way to make 1t clear that It is advertis-
ing, and representing simply a commercial
transaction, SO far as, the newspaper It
self is concerned. MA no
Besides this It Is Mr., Herdman's con.
viction that every struggling toiler in the
realm of news and opinions should receive
the personal prestige or odium, small OF
great, resultant from his labors and ht
thinks no better way could be found thar
by placing the signature Of the writer under
his article. fH

The butchers and grocers OF Omaha did
not go to Manawa for picnic Thursday
afternoon, although until within a last few
days 1t was generally understood they
were to have an outing. Owing to the
fact that the date set was so near Labor
day. when the butchers and grocers have
a half holiday, It was finally decided to
dispense with the festivities. So the
