terday. Mr.. Barrett goes 10 Richmond
today and tomorrow will take his
seat in tho House of Delegates as
the representative Of Newport News.
The introduction Of Jim Grow"
street car bill just at this time is Of
especial interest to the public here,
on account of the local situation. The
present law concerning the scpara-
tlon of tho races on street cars Is
not mandatory and, consequently, can
be put into effect in the various cities
only after moro or less trouble with
the negroes.
Preachers Say Walk.
An example of one of the bad Of.
fects of such Il Law is found in this
city a movement toward having the
law put into effect here and all over
the peninsula has hecn started and
Sunday all fthc negro preachers
were advising their congregations TO
walk rather than have this ''indig-
nifty" heapcd upon them.
That tho law will be Put into Of
feet by the local lines. in accord
ance With an ordinance to be passed
by the council, there Is little doubt,
but Il mandatory law on the statute
books of the State would take the
matter entirely out of tho hands OF
the council and companies AMI there

unwarranted hardship and iinpracti-
cal to compel the companies to pro.

SETTLERS IN SOUTH PLATTE
Union Pacific Taking Farmers Onto
Irrigated Lands Along
Its Line.

"The various agencies OF the Union Pa
ciic are busted in installing new settlers
In the South Platte valley" said Charles
Miller. a land agent who has Just returned
from North Platte. "The fiourishing con-
dition of these settlements bears most fiat
tering testimony to the rich prospects OF
the country. The price now OF lands under
the bitches is about $40 an acre, but this
well be So or 500 in a short time. The soil
is responsive TO irrigation and the storage
reservoirs will impart food waters in album
dance In the dry seasons. The lands of the
valley yield wonderfully.

Of Sterling produced 400 and 500 bushels to

try, still some farmers raised as high as
nifty bushels TO the acre. The South Platte
country offers unsurpassed opportunities to
the homeseekers. as there is plenty OF land
yet to be had.
THE railroad activity in the west, espe-
cially along the North Platte river and In
eastern Wyoming. together with the OPEN
ing Of the Shoshone reservation, will at
tract more homeseekers to western Ne
brsska and to eastern Colorado and Wyo-
ming than In any previous year"

the whole matter had been threshed over
until all hands understood 1t thoroughly.
They also insisted that the only thing
to be passed on by the board was the
rate OF pay for meals, as the resolution
stood.
When the reports were called for in
open board there were majority and
minority reports. The former signed by

said he would vote for postponement Of
action until Wednesday on the distinct
understanding that he would not then
vote for any further delay. So the matter
was laid over.
In this connection a communication was
read from Judge Day saying he had called

SALUTzKY REGRETS THE LAW
Omaha Man Whose Wife II Ordered
DepOrted Much Cut Up
by the Fact.

Joseph Salutzky, Journeyman baker OF
Omaha, is the husband OF the Mrs. Salutzky
whose deportation by the United States
immigration bureau Is told OF In another
column. He makes SIS q week and has
steady employment He asserts he stood
ready and willing to pay any expense that
might have been necessary 20 have his
wifes affiiction properly treated. What
makes him feel particularly disappointed
is the fact that he was married only a
short time when he came to the United
States 10 make home for his wife before
bringing her over.
Mr.. salutzky has been in Omaha some
thing less than year, but II was more
through thoughtlessness than for any other
reason that he failed TO declare his inten-
ton before he did. II never occurred TO
him that his wife might contract any dis
ease that would prevent her landing. and

GRAIN MARKET NORMAL AGAIN
Restoration of Rates Sets Conditions
Back to the Old Mark
Locally.

"The restoration OF grain rates 10 the
old basis brings the Omaha market back
to normal conditions" said Secretary Mer-
chant of the Grain exchange. while the
low rates east were in effect grain men
hurried to ship out as much grain as they
could hnd market for. Now that the old
rate is in force, shipments will be lighter
for some time. The old rate is satisfactory
to Omaha. as II puts this city on the same
basis relatively, with Kansas City and
other markets"
While the low rates were in effect from
200 TO 800 cars OF corn were daily shipped
out OF Omaha. Now the number runs from
sixty to eighty. This is partly due to the
fact that so much was shipped out in De-
eember. and partly due to light country
movement, for which bad roads are re-
sponsible.

Equal to the Occasion.

Speaking of the peculiar incidents
that occasionally occur on the stage,
q we'll known actor said that one OF
the most laughable happened some
time since in the theater of a thriv-
ing town up the state The scene at
that particular moment was the deck
of a ship, around which rolled and
heaved a vast theatrical sea- The
hero was solilOquizing on the pitching
deck, and the audience was intently
listening to his spell binding words,
when rudy head protruded through
a hole in the ocean in full view Of
all. The hero, however, was equal to
the occasion. CHANGING at the ap-
parently floating head, he Justify
yelled:
MAN overheard! Man overboardr'
Hardly had he spoken before the
head of the sea manipulation was with
drawn, and, with a SAD sigh that could
be heard all over the house, the actor
piteously cried:
