DEMAND FOR GRAIN sHEAvEs
Big Call for Them Mt National Corn
show and Farmer May
Hold Them.

Farmers of the west are being sent
notices through the country newspapers
that there will be a big demand for sheaves
OF grain and that they should not feed
all the bundles through the threshlng
machines. The National Corn Exposition
alone will use thousands OF bundles for
decoration, as we'll as those for exhibition
purposes. County and state fairs will also
use a large amount Of grain I'm the
shock"
To qualify for the National Corn Ex-
position It is not necessary to enter
bundles as large as those tied by the self
binders. The bundles which the rules re-
qulre will be three inches in diameter with
the full straws, which WIFI permit the
judges to see the character of the straw as
well as the heads and grain.
Managers of the corn show are authority
for the statement that not in the history
OF the west has there been a prospect OF
so much grain being exhibited as there is
this year. Almost every county will have
a show of some kind in which grains Of
all kinds and classes will be entered.
To act as judges at these expeditions.
the agricultural colleges have arranged to
Circuit out" expert judges who will travel
from one county to the other and from
one fair to another, judging the grains
entered. 1t is the plan TO send the premium
grain at each show to Omaha for the
National Corn exposition.

WET WOOL SAVED IN OMAHA
Large shipments Received from west

House.

BY sending their wet wool to Omaha TO
be cared for by the Omaha Wool and stor-
age company many wyoming and Mon
which seemed inevitable as a result OF the
recent rains which have been general
throughout the wool growing territory.
a shipment Of If coo pounds Of wet wool
was received Friday from a grower along
the Billings line OF the Burlington and It
was opened and spread out in the big ware
house Of the wool company. where It will
be dried and then gathered up and sacked
again.
The Burlington railroad has been enabled
to do much good work for the growers
as well as the promoters Of the Omaha
market. since considerable of the wool
was soaked with water, and agents have
been advising the growers to ship the wool
TO Omaha, where there were abundant
facilities for drying out the clips.
1t Is almost impossible for the growers
to place the bsss of wool under shelter of
any kind on tie plains and ranges of
Wyoming. Some Of the wool IL SHIPPED
from stations" which have nothing but a
small depot, and frequently large quaint
ties Of the wool must be left out of doors
until the whole clip is collected and ready
to ship.
While the soaked wool weighs extremely
heavy and has pushed the freight charges
up above the usual amount on carload of
wool, the Omaha company will be enabled
to save growers thousands of dollars by
drying out the wool.

is composed of George Rogers, Thomas j.
Flynn, Louis J. Patti. Joseph P. Butler
and Charles +. Tanning.
1t transpires that Mr.. Dahlman was prac-
ttcally slated for the chairmanship last
winter and It was for this reason that he
refused to be reelected national commit
teeman from this state, withdrawing In
favor OF DR.. p. L. Hall Of Lincoln. At the
time OF the election of the Lincoln man in

considerable dissatisfaction among the I'M

were told that Jim" would be made ma

BANKS REMIT CASH
Nationals Will Send to Washington
About Half a Million.
AID IN RAISING BIG AMOUNT
All Local Institutions Come Under
the Provisions of reRsurer'
Call for Depository
Funds.

Within ten days Omaha national banks
carrying government deposits will pay into
the United States treasury between SS5O,OJO
and S5O0,tOO to assist in securing the $4,000, =
900 needed on or before July Is.
All the Omaha national banks come I'M
der the rules of the call for money so far
as they know at present. Though none of
them has received official notice that 1t
will have to return a cent to the treasury.
The last bank statement showed that
81, 265, 900 of government money was on de-
poslt in the banks Of Omaha, distributed
as follows:
First National bank $4,000
Omaha National bank. b5O,OyJ
United States National bank.......... lOntOO
Merchants National bank. ............. $4,000
Nebraska National ank.........,..... l4o,UOJ
Not the least effect on business will be
perceptible because of the withdrawal of
the government none from Omaha banks.
according to the bankers, but some Of them
are OF opinion the sending back of so many
government bonds will cause a slump in tn"
bond market.
Some of the bankers will turn the bonds
back on the government this fall for CIR
culation, which will give them an equal
amount Of money with which to handle
the crops OF the west.
The call does not apply TO banks having
government funds to the amount of $4,000
or under. but all of the Omaha banks have
over that amount Just at present most OF
the banks in Omaha carrying government
money have less of it than usual. The
Merchants National bank has just surren-
dered $4,000 of government money, while
the Omaha National bank generally carries
over 5000 O OF the deposits Of Uncle Sam
and is now down 20 3jo0,00O.
AS a large amount Of government money
will be needed in Omaha to meet the checks
of dIsbursing officers the Withdrawals from
the five nationtl banks will be light as
compared to the an UNITS which some bC nks
will be compelled to return to>Washinston.
Some Omaha bankers do not believe they
Will be called on for more than 20 per cent
Of the amount on deposit, as the call says

ploysd by the Union Pacific, met death al
most instantly early Friday morning by

companied by two other workmen when the
collision occurred. By jumping from the
handear when they saw a collision was in
evitable, these two men saved their Iva.
The engine had just returned from push
ing a freight train over the hill; the crew
did not see the approach OF the handcar
and not until the latter had crashed into
the engine, were the trainmen aware OF
anything out Of the way.
Sheriff Bradley was notified and took
charge OF the body. An inquest will be
held.

Criticism.

Unless Uncle Sam wants 70 lose the
favor of more than half his employees,
IL might be well for him TO see that
this proportion gets it's extra half-holi-
day before the summer is over.
When the question Of closing the de-
partn1en-s Saturday afternoons came up
this year as usual. some of the chiefs
decided to start the new schedule yes
tsrday and continue il until September
l9 Others were of the opinion that
their clerks would enjoy the half-holi-
day more if il came at the end Of the
heated term instead Of the beginning,
so decided that they would not begin
the Saturday afternoon closing until
July1
The clerks got busy with the calendar.
and it was discovered that the depart
ments which started with the new
schedule yesterday would get fourteen
Saturdays, while the others would get
only thirteen.
Il has now been suggested that a rem
edy may be found if the other depart
ments start their half-holidays next
Saturday instead of waiting until July,
and in this way all viii get an equal
number Of holidays

The Picture Life.

One of the newspaper correspond
ents at Chicago has touched briefly
but wildly on the subject Of the
political photograph. The make-oe-
lieve modesty Of the rising states
man-his moss-covered witticisms
about mistaken identity and the
worthier man around the corner
and the patient submission OF the
old-timers. This was the theme OF
the convention stOriette-
In the course of the last national
campaign, it viii be remembered,
Mr.. Parker turned somewhat sharply
upon the snap-shooters. Being
new hand at the game, he did not
understand the value of pictorial
publicitv. More than that. Adyer-
Using aside, he did not appreciate,
apparently, the interest the public
takes in every action, great or little
of which prominent persons are ca
pable. Washington himself, to 60
hack to the original model of the
American, gave many sittings to
uainters. He showed much patience
and pleasure, we are told. No doubt
he would have submitted with equal
willingness and graciousness to the
attentions of the camera men Of
today.
For, once in public life, the Father
of His Country was careful to live
what may be called the illustrative
life. He measured his words, his
steps, his gestures. His very tones
and chances were calculated to inn
press the beholders. Such a life
would have been a perfect subject
for kodak OF kinetograph; and there
can be no doubt that the impress
sion which he meant TO convey
would have been considerably deep
ened by Photographic illustration.

fully these cases with their possi-
bilities of blaclmai, but the courts
are discouraging the adventures
business by issuing bench warrants
for perjury against some of the
most notorious of the seekers after
easy money.
By so doing clear-headed judges
are working distinctly for the bene-
fit of other women who may have
real grievances, and who are justly
entitled to damages. The bringing
of breach-of-promise suits, or the
alleging of marriages which never
occurred, has become so widespread
and in many instances the evidence
has been so plainly false that all
such proceedings are falling into
disrepute. The result has been that
many real sufferers are afraid 10

that the forthcoming campaign Will
