OMAHA PIONEER VISITS MINDEN
DR.. A. Horn Tells Incidents of His
STAY in NehrnalSa.

MLNDEN. Neb. May 14.-(Special.) )-Dr.
A. Horn. a lawyer from Danville. Ill, faith
er-in-law Of County Judge Carrico, has
been spending two weeks Of a western
visit here. Dr. Horn passed through this
part of the state in 1885, and the change
now Is a revelation to him. At that time he
lived for one year in what was then called
Omaha City in which he owned some prop
erty now in the most central portion of
Omaha.
Dr. Horn hunted buffalo in 1858 in and
about the Fort Kearney reservation and
tells OF some interesting Incidents He and
others were having a chase after some
500 buffalo running towards Wood river
This river, at the point towards which the
herd headed. is from twenty-five to thirty
feet deep and the hunters knew there
would be dispersion. as the animals could
not possibly get across. To their consterna-
ton, however the buffaloes disappeared one
after another into the river. that is the
rear animals not knowing the leaders could
not get across. in their excitement to get
away pushed those ahead into the river
until the river was full and the remaining
passed over the bodies of those which had
| filled the river and formed a bridge across
which they could pass. AS soon as the herd
had passed over those in the river one by
i one got up anu IOunu IneiT way OUT anu
not one was injured or left dead The in
cident passed off in half the time it takes
| to tell Il.
Mr.. Horn is now a years of age. but looks
not much more than So He lived for a
| short time near what is now Elkhorn City,
west of Omaha. He relates an incident
when IN the early days in Omaha a religious
| exhorter held temperance talk in a school
house where now the best portion Of Omaha
is situated. The exhorter became very
abusive in his talk and among those pres
ent was Territorial Governor Cunning. who
resented the slanderous talk and requested
| DIR. Horn to make reply which was done.
| The debate stirred up the little village Of
Omaha City and was the talk of the town

has Travelled far and wide, both in
America and Europe. No hotel on
either continent so completely fulfills

satisfaction"
To those who know nothing about
Hotel St Regis by actual experience.
this may seem exaggerated praise, but
1t is borne out by the actual facts and
is the sentiment of thousands whs
have wisely chosen this matchless hos

The st. Regis occupies an enviable
position. 1t is the acknowledged leader
among the worlds greatest hotels and
the one by which all others are COM

luxurious, but above all comfortable
and home like. In point of service,
equipment, cuisine ii stands unrivaled,
and yet the person of moderate tastes
and means may share its hospitality
and may dress and live according to
individual preferences with the utmost
complacency, for the st. Regis is the
most democratic OF hotels in every par
ticular.
In the matter of restaurant and room
charges there is also moderation. To
dine at the St. Regis costs no more

RAISING REVENUES FOR HIGH
Err EDUCATION.


The question OF raising revenues
Tor institutions of higher education
by some other way than a direct tax
was discussed at the meeting of the
State Grange recently held at Eu-
gene, and while the report of the
committee was showed off to the last,
and too late to get It before the con-
vention, the matter attracted great
deal OF attention.
For state with only half q mill
lion population to appropriate half
a million Dlennially for higher edu-
cation. is an abnormal load for the
taxpayer to carry. With the small
Income from the irreduciable school
fund, and the needs of the public
school so great the grange has taken
wise step In seeking to find some
other source OF revenue to tap than
the taxpayers pocketbook.
The fight on the state university
appropriation was not a fight against
higher education as such but against
heaping up burden OF direct tax
alton that has grown out of all pro.
portion to the rest OF the interests
OF the state.
What the Report Means.
The report OF the state grange
committee which we print below
means that a campaign will be waged
along new lines and that the legis-
lature cannot longer merely go
blindly down into the pockets OF the
people aud take whatever II wants
and then levy on the property OF
the people TO raise the money, but
the alleged solons and statesmen
must rack their brains to find ways
and means to get money by other
sources than a direct levy on asses
sable property This report was pre-
pared by Milt. Richardson OF Yam.
hill coanty. and Is a very able doc
ument that should be preserved for
reference.
Cooy of the Report.
To the officers and members OF
the Oregon State Grange:
Your committee appointed In ac-
cordance with the recommendation OF
the committee on education of the
last State Grange to assemble facts
and recomend methods of granting
support TO our higher institutions or
learning have had the matter under
serious consideration.
We find there is much dissatisfac.
tion with respect to tho manner In
which support has been granted TO
these institutions in the past. We
are under the impression that any
form of direct taxation on the pro-
ducng classes of society for their
support will meet with opposition
from many of our taxpayers. The
opposition does not spring from any
antagonism to the institutions them
selves bat from the manner or sys-
tenn by which they are governed and
granted financial support. The peo-

Special Correspondence to The Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March TO-
"Set 'em up again." passed from
the Birmingham vocabulary New
Years eve. That was the eventful
ever when Gambrinus and Bacchus
mounted the water wagon, gloomily
certain the sun would not shine
again. But somehow B'ham, as
sign painters have 1t, continues to
be fine town. The people show
the spirit of energy and enterprise
that marks the live. hustling cities
of the country. They are busy
building up city that, according
to John w. Gates, Is to have 1,000,-
900 population in 1925.
County local option placed the
lid on Birmingham's 1875 saloons.
The city voted wet by 1926 major
ity, but Greater Birmingham went
dry, and the majority against the
saloons in the entire county was
$500.
A striking decrease in the num-
Der of arrests, particularly those
commonly charged to liquor, has
followed the closing of the saloons.
Police Judge N. Is. Feagin found.
when he balanced his books at the
end Of January, that he had passed
upon 504 cases as compared with
779 In January Of last year. Ar
rests for drunkenness had dropped
from TIA In January, 1907, to 33 in
1908; for disorderly conduct the de-
crease was from 80 to Sc; wife
beating decreased 70 per cent; as
sault with intent to commit MUIR
der %; burglary 33, and vagrancy
40 per cent.
Two days before the close of
February. Judge Feagin cast up his
books again and discovered that,
compared with last year, arrests
for intoxlcation fell from 151 to 81
cases; wife beating from Is to 5;
disorderly conduct from sc to 80;
assault and battery So to 20; gam
bling from SO to SO, and assault
with intent to commit murder from
three to none.
The decrease in percentage of
eight most common police court
crimes was Al per cent in January
and SO per cent in February.
Judge Feagin says prohibition Is
success.
Sheriff Higdon reports that the
average Jail population during the
last six months Of 1907 was 300.
This year the average has been
100.

that the silent death will be most
terrible, and that is why it is said
that the government must, at all
hazards, and at whatever cost,
keep the astonishing device out of
the possession Of the general
public.
The assassin and the anarchist
could kill the crowned head from
an upstairs window, or the prime
minister as he walked the street.
or the hated politician as he stood
on the platform. Nobody would
hear the shot. Nobody would know
where 1t came from. The mar
would be dead that's all.
The burglar, the holdup man, the
thug, the coward criminal. the lii

be masters of society. No man
could stop them. No man could
convict them
