in this county several years ago and bonds to the amount of S250,000 were sold. R. S. Skelton, one of the best business men in the county, took charge and built several hundred miles of the best macadamzed roads in the state. This has proved a blessing to the citizens in this county. and now every one is very enthusiastic over the Improvements and it seems that all want good roads, regard less of cost.
 To ex-Representatiye Milo Moody be- longs the honor of the good road move ment in Jackson county. He it was that introduced the bill in the legislature dnd worked hard for it's passage. The good roads question is a popular one in this county and the people will at no distant day have more bikes built.

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 I am a candidate for membership upon your Board of Revenue, subject to the democratic primary May IS.
 My record in this county for period of nearly 40 years I believe to be bet ter index as to what l would do If elect ed than any promises I could make.
 For an office of such great and growing responsibility men should be chosen of known ability and fitness, and the people whose affairs these officials are to man age being the sole judges of the fitness of conditions, should give them only such consideration as a careful investigation may show them to merit.
 There appears to be an encouraging awakening among the people upon the subject of good roads, and if elected stand pledged to seek to adopt that method for securing them which promises the best and most speedy results.
 Having in view the faithful discharge of every duty if elected, l most respect fully ask your support.

Notorious HOrsethief Stays In Omaha
a Year and Escapes Trap
Set for Him.

Having lived in Omaha for one year at
Forty-third street and Lafayette avenue,
Frank Lutz, a notorious horsethief and ex-
convict on parole from the Joliet peniten-
tiary, made his escape from the city Thurs
day evening, a short time before the net
which the police had woven around him
was to be drawn in,
During the last year while he resided in
Omaha Lutz made frequent trips into
various parts OF the state, returning with
one or more horses. At the present Lutz
has four of these horses hired out 10 To-
cal coal dealers, and it was through the
medium OF one of these horses that LutE
was TO be captured, but he evidently sur
missed that he was wanted" and disap-
peared.
Lutz has been living with a woman
named Mrs. Kelley of Chicago, who has
tive small sons, 4 wagon load OF stolen
articles was recovered by the police when
Lutzs residence was raided Friday morn
ing.
Ten of the horses the fellow has stolen
since his residence in Omaha have been
recovered by the officers. Five were stolen
from Fremont, three from Calhoun and two
from Bancroft. -Four OF them were sold

WELCOME ARCH NEARLY DONE
Mammoth Structure Will Be Ready
for the Ak-Sar-Ben Visitors.
KING WILL PASS UNDER ITS BOW
Structural Iron Span illuminated
with Electric Light Stands at
Eighteenth aud Far
nam Streets.

The mammoth welcome arch at Eight
zenith and FaTnam streets, which is soon to
give strangers in the city an assurance of
Omaha's delight in having them here, is
rapidly nearing completion. The first
span across the street between the two up
rights was put up Thursday night. This
heavy iron span, which is as long as the
width Of the street and about seven feet
broad, had to be raised from the pave
ment when there were no trolley wires
intervening and that necessitated waiting
until about ? O'Clock Friday morning,
when the cars had stopped running, While
the wires were lying flat the span was
rolled across them and then hoisted. A
special lighting arrangement was put up by
City Electrician Michaelson 50 that the
work could be done in three hours.
The arch has been criticised by passeFsby
because OF its rather bald appearance, but
the councilmen are we'll pleased with what
has been done 50 far and assure the public
that when completed the arch will be a
, thing Of beauty.
Its cost, sl.5OO. as compared with the
thousands of dollars which II is said were
put into the Denver arch, which the en-
thusiasts say II no more beautiful than
this one, is a matter of coRgratulation.

CARNATIONS with schedules showing the
proposed changes in classifications of
freight and rules governing packing and
shipping.
Commissioner ]. NJ. Guild received a
copy OF the "Official Classification sched-
ules Monday morning. The committee will
meet somewhere near wall street, that
street which laughs at orphans cries.
Commissioner Guild had looked at the list
but a minute when he discovered a pro-
posed rule which looked queer to say the
least. This rule is 10 provide that ship
pers of shoes, hats, caps and some classes
Of merchandise, must pack them in cases
which are nailed with cement coated nails
OF pay 10 per cent more than the published
tariff for such classes Of merchandise.
Beyond this there is no hint as to why
the railroads are to give such a boost to
the cement coated nail trust or why it is
possible TO ship 10 per cent cheaper wheE
goods are enclosed IN cases tackled with
cement covered iron nails instead OF with
Carnegie toothpicks. The traffic expert Of
the transportation committee has taken
the matter under AMUSEMENT and is eX-
pected 20 render an opinion in the near
future.
Another Freak Rule.
Another freak rule which has a practical
side suggests that shoe boxes be wired
and leaden seals placed at the end of the
wire. This is taken TO mean that the rail-
road company has II in for box car bur
glars and will not allow It's own employees
10 help themselves to shoes or obtain hats
ana caps in other ways than buying them
with money furnished by the company.
There Is some real merit in this wiring
ana sealing rule, but not In the cement
coated nail business said a shipper. The
first thing We know We will have to have
sugar shipped in manganese safes and navy
beans In reinforced cement vaults with time
locks in order TO get the advantage Of pub
lkhed tariffs"
Another proposed rule Is tina the rail-
roads are about to allow oil stoves 10 be
used m cars which are accompanied by an
attendant and contain perishable fruits.
The railroads have compelled shippers 10
furnish stoves burning coal or coke when
making shipments OF fruit in the winter
time.
