were but as broken reeds.
Strong and the others felt the Vic

Miss Hunt heard the nasty scrunch
of hum3h bodies being squeezed 20

went up. up up swifter than any bird.
Langley alone kept his eyes at the

crowd crash together in the space

the cries OF the wounded men and
wounded women as they were crushed

To my thinking, disgrace consists In

There is legal and there is moral
disgrace.
1t Is a disgraceful act To live In

And It is a disgrace TO live accord

the crucifixion OF the highest instincts

warmer, consisting of a built-in metal oven
with small radiator pipes close together,
forming two shelves. Under the other sink
board is a bottomless drawer containing
quarterback rods set one and one-half
inches on center for the dish towels. When
the towels are needed the drawer is drawn
out. Just under the counter top in both
kitchen and serving p~antries are sliding
shelves that slide out when needed, in the
same manner as office desk slides. These
are very convenient at times. The two
p~antries are connected by a pass, and the
serving pantry Is also connected with the
sideboard at one end. which at the other
end is connected with the kitchen by a
pass. These short cuts for passing dishes
save many steps during the day. The
clothes chute starts in the bath room above
and therefore in its location in the entry
makes 1t handy for passing down the tow
els, etc, from above, table linen and
kitchen cloths.

MAN CHEWS FORGED CHECK
Fights Omcers Until Tied Down
when Rounded III I'm south
Omaha.

Friday dated an unlucky chapter in the
life of J. IA. Christie, a stranger who ar
rived in South Omaha in the morning. He
tried to pass a forged check on the letter
Brewing company for $3.50, was suspected
and arrested while trying to make his es-
cape Detective Elsfelder made the ar
rest at 6 O'Clock I'm the evening. Christie
fought the officer until strapped down I'm
a buggy and hauled to the police station. In
the meantime he chewed up the check until
only a pulp remained.
He first went to the brewery In the
morning and told the cashier he was about
to open a saloon at Fort steel, Wyo. He
ordered about 500 worth Of beer. Then
he said he had not received his check for a
carload OF cattle at the South Omaha
yards, but would return in the afternoon.
He came back with a check apparently
from McCreary & Carey I'm favor Of Martin
Bros. for the sale Of cattle. This combina-
ton Of tho names OF two commission firms
looked suspicious. The cashier Immediately
called up the firm supposed to nave issued
the check and was told no such man had
been doing business with them. His prop
osition was to take 800 IN beer, $50 IN
cash and letters check for the balance.
Christie saw that he had aroused sus-
picion from the amount OF telephonlng
which the cashier was doing. so he
made an effort 20 escape but was too late.

BANKING OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
So Says Simon Casady, One of Deu
Moines' Most Prominent


1.-THE banking outlook is all right" said
Simon Cassidy of Des Moines, Ia. IN the
lobby Of the Rome Saturday morning. Mr..
Casady Is president Of the Iowa National
and Des Molnes Savings banks and easily
the best known banker in Iowa.
He and John C. C~avanagh. another Des
Moines capitalist, spent several hours here
between trains on their way home from
where they have been visiting Earnest and
governor.
They are great chaps" said Cavanagh.
They have given up their general store
and lumber business and now are occupied
only with their bank. ranch, farm lauds
and a few other industries. They really
run pretty near the whole county,
Mr.. Cavanagh went on his Dakota trip
with Mr.. Cassidy Immediately after re-
turning from Europe, where he and Lafe
Young, jr., son of the editor, spent the
summer.
Another Des Moines man in Omaha Sat
urday was Rev. ]. F.. Nugent, pastor Of
the Church of the Visitation and celebrated
as a clerical politician and orator. In the
80 campaign Father Nugent fought vigor-
ously for Bryan, but is not on the stump
this year. His last political fight was also
a losing one, he taking a vigorous stand
against the commission plan of city gov
eminent. Though this would hardly indi-
cate political sagacity, the priest is uni
versally conceded to have that quality in
large measure and he is an exceptionally
good public speaker. He is registered at
the Paxton.

The showing is remarkable, not only be
cause OF the large number OF cities in
which there Is a gain over the figures OF a
year ago. but because of the remarkable
high percentage OF increase. Cities in
which ordinarily It would be thought that
II building were upon a par with that OF
a year ago they would be dom well have
a percentage OF increase which is so great
that Il would create much enthusiasm in
respect TO the future. New York City has
an increase of Is per cent, but the most
noteworthy Increase was in Paterson, n.

BUTEE BUILDS NEW WING
Gets Contract to Erect Annex to the
High School.
COLE PULLED FOR CAPITAL CITY
President of Board Wanted Another
Firm to Do the Work Despite
Its Bid of Six Thousand
Dollars More.

r. Butke was awarded the contract for
the erection OF the south wing to the
Omaha High school by the Board Of Edu-
cation in special session Saturday noon.
The contract price is $l44,sOO and the build
ing is to be completed on or before jan
uary l., 1910. The contractor must furnish
a bond amounting to 80 per cent Of the
contract price.
While Mr.. Butke was the lowest bidder,
the contract was awarded to him only after
prolonged discussion, the bone of conten-
ton being the date Of completion. Presi-
dent Cole Of the board wished the contract
to go to the Capital City Brick and Pipe
company on its bid of s15O.sOO for the rea-
son that this company agreed TO have the
building completed by the first of next
September. Mr.. Butke proposed to finish
the building by May /, 1910, but finally
agreed to the earlier date, January /, Of
that year. The five members of the build
ing and property committee signed the re-
port recommending that Mr.. Butke be
given the contract and all the members of
the board voted to that effect, with the
exception Of President Cole.
Considerable time was taken up in COM
mittee meeting in discussing the method
OF voting for new members Of the board
at the general election November 3. At
the wednesday evening meeting the board
voted to use ballots under the Australian
system and to do away with the voting
machines. the matter being discretionary
with the board. Saturday the board was
waited on by District Clerk Smith, County
Clerk HaverIy, City Clerk Butler and a
committee Of three appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the republican CEN
} tral committee, W.. I. Kierstead, Henry
T.. Ostrom and Charles Mcdonald.
All Of them protested against the use Of
separate ballots inasmuch as there is
plenty OF room on the voting machines for
the names % The five candidates for the
Board Of Education, and also because the
expense Will be much greater and for the
reason that there is not enough room in
the polling places for Australian booths
and the voting machines. The law pro-
vides when the Australian system is used
that a booth must be provided for every
fifty voters, which would mean that In
some precincts as many as fifteen or
twenty booths would have to be provided.
When the clerks told the board members
that If separate ballots are used they must
provide polling places, tents or something
OF the kind, they concurred IN asking the
county clerk 10 throw out the machines
altogether and to use ballots for the en-
tire ticket. No formal action could be
taken, as the Saturday meeting was called
for the express purpose OF letting the
contract for the High school building.
The board membe believed that in
voting for the candidates on its ticket on
separate ballots the school election would
be separated from party politics and also
that by 50 doing the women could vote with
less trouble than II the machines were
used.

GRADING FOR UNION PACIFIC
A~thOI-BOrIe Cut-On Completed and
Work in Nebraska to he


CHEYENNE, wyo., Oct. S,-(Special)-
fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins today turned
over to the Union Pacific railroad company
the completed grade of the Athol-Borie
cutoff, and will at once ship their big
grading outfit to other points where Union
Pacific contracts are to be fulfilled.
About fifty per cent Of the grading ma.
chinery is to be sent to Superior. Sweet
water county, where the big tipples OF the
Union Pacific Coal company must be moved
from the government ground, on which
they were built by mistake. About 100, 900
yards of excavating must be done at the
location to which the tipples are 10 be
moved. The improved location OF the Su-
perior tipples is about the most expensive
mistake Union Pacific engineers have made
in recent years.
The remainder OF the fitzpatrick grading
outfit is to be shipped to Oshkosh, Neb.,
where the Union Pacific will begin the eN-
tension of it's North Platte valley line up
the river into Wyoming. Definite informa-
ton concerning this work cannot be
Obtained, but it is understood grading is to
be pushed throughout the winter.
In addition to the Superior and Oshkosh
work, Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins have an
other large Union Pacific contract-the
grading for a double track between
Granger and Green river, a distance OF
thirty miles. This work is progressing
steadily and the double track will be in
operation before the end Of the year.
The completion Of the Athol-Borie cutoff
means that in a short time freight ship
ments from the northwest to Denver and
other southern points, and vice versa, will
not pass through Cheyenne and will go
around instead of over Athol hill, at the
present time the steepest grade on the
Union Pacific system. The CUTOFF is less
