OMAHA, Neb.. Aug. 22.-To the Members
of the Nebraksa Railway Employees Protec-
tice Association and All Others Interested:
Bears Sir: 1t is desired to call attention
to the provisions of the new primary law
inthe state of Nebraska. This law pro-
vides that in order to get a ballot the
voter must declare himself to be a mem
Der Of one of the parties on the ballot. For
instance, a democrat must so declare him
self to be a democrat to get a ballot, a
republican the same; then a ballot of that
party is given him and he can vote only
for the men on that ballot and must not
write any names in as candidates on that
ticket or the ballot will be lost.
We think that every effort should be
made by the members of this association to
impress on everyone the necessity of get
ting out at the primaries and taking ad-
vantage of their rights of citizenship to
protect their interests, and it is of the
first Importance tina they know the posi-
ton of the candidates they support as re-
CARDS these interests. We inclose a list
of some of the fairest on each ticket whose

know are friendly to labor.

Further Explanation Of the
AIveOlAr System Of
Dentistry

What is the Alveolar System of
Dentistry?
The Alveolar System of Dentistry
is the tightening of loose teeth and the
replacing of missing teeth by an inn
proved method, placed irremovably IN
the mouth in a firm, comfortable and
durable way without the use Of So
called bridge work or plates. No
matter if you nave lost one. or i'm
many cases, If you have lost all of
your teeth they can be restored to
comfort and usefulness by this method.
These teeth arc held in place by re-
tanners of platinum fastened to the
Alveolar ridge and roots OF retained
teeth. Thes retainers include sock
cts into which each tooth is set sep
arately az Nature does it and intends
it should be done; thus each tooth
must carry It's own stress.
What are its advantages over the
old way? The nearest approach to
this method is bridge work. The
points of advantage of Alveolar dent
istry over that system of replacing
teeth are many indeed. First Of all,
it is absolutely comfortable and not a
source of constant annoyance. Second,
as IL does not depend upon 8butting
teeth for support it consequently lasts
longer, and, third, II has q natural 8p-
pearance and does not look patched
or u~nsightly.
And another important feature OF
this work is the fact that the oAplna2
Is no greater han is usually asked FOR
the ordinary dentistry.
DR.. Murphy ia the originator If this
method, He has practiced 1t rs well
as all other branches of high grade
dentistry for the past 10 years. lie
is not a newcomer and you take no
chances in putting the care Of your
teeth in his hands. He numbers
among his patients thousands OF the
best people of this city who gladly
endorse his work.
Many claim to do this work. Call

cannon to Talk Tariff.
These conditions have determined the re-
publicans to make the tariff one of their
strongest issues. Speaker Cannon will be
brought into the state to explain the adj
vaEtages of the republican tariff idea.
Other speakers also will be asked to dis
cuss this question. The democrats are ex-
pressing their willingness to meet the re-
publicans upon this ground. insisting that
they are willing to take proper care OF
Missouri's industries, though they propose
to strike at the trusts by Withdrawing
from them the tariff favors which, 1t is
claimed, they enjoy under the Dirgley
law. The great issue the democrats will
devote themselves to is set forth in
Bryan's own words, Shall the people
ruler" The republicans will take THEN
stand upon the proposition that Missouri
should do nothing to retard what already
has been done to make the state and the
entire Mississippi valley the garden spot
OF the world.
Bryan proposes to come into Missouri, anc
he will be greeted as a friend. Mr.. Taft
has spoken several times in the state, buf
the people have not got acquainted with
him In the way they have with the Ne.
braskan. Therefore, the republicans are
ANXIOUS tnat the FORMER secretary OF wal
should come here and spend some time
here. They believe the good impression
Taft already has made will be strengthened
ana that he will make thousands OF votes
They also would like some direct en-
enlargement from President Roosevelt be
lieving he has an influence with the voters
of this section which cannot too largely
be estimated.
But, taking the situation as it exists
today, it is apparent that in spite of Mr.
Bryan's long existent popularity, the stat
offers q good chance for republican sue
cess all along the line. Missouri was tn
first important state to declare for tn
nomination Of Mr.. Taft. 1t has put int
the field a strong gubernatorisl candidate
There is = democratic row over the sena
torship, with a good chance for a re
publican legislature. The whole is a priz
worth fighting for to the limit, and tn
republicans say they will go that limit

GET MANY COMPLAINTS
Pedestrians Kicking on the Time Taken
to Swing Main Street Bridge

The officials of the city are being
overrun with complaints on account of
the time that is being taken to swing
Main street bridge to allow the barges
to get through with the refuse taken
from the Kenosha river. Many times
the pedestrians have been forced to
wait for more than half an hour on
account of the fact that the bridge is
being swung with great difficulty. 1t is
claimed that this trouble is caused by
the fact that one of the abutments
of the bridge has been partially washed
away and it is possible that the city
will have to make some immediate pro-
vision Tor the repair Of the bridge.
In the meantime the people will have
to bear with the inconvenience and as
two weeks will be required to complete
the work Of cleaning the river the
traffic about the bridge will be tied up
periodically until the end of that time.

Durick, man brought in on minor
charge, who is now thought to be raw

and has attacked one of the prisoners
and made an effort to bite him. Durick
was so violent Wednesday night that
it was necessary to have four men
place him in a cell. This morning
there is a slight improvement in his
condition. His actions led the other
prisoners in the Jail believe that he
was suffering from hydrophobia and
they came near being panic stricken
until the man could be confined in a

observed by physicians today and il 1t
does not show an improvement an eff

WAS GREAT SUCCESS
More Than LOO Delegates At
tended Recent Farmers Con-
gress Held in Madison
FARMERS Get GREATBENEfITS

Over LID delegates attended the
twenty-eighth annual Farmers Nation
al Congress which has just closed a
weeks session at the University of
Wisconsin College of Agriculture. Both
in the number Of paid memberships and
in the quality Of the addresses, this
congress was in advance of any previ-
Gus gathering Much satisfaction was
expressed by members at the innoya-
ton of holding the congress at an
agricultural college, and many ex-
pressed the hope that a similar arrange
ment could be made for future meet
ings. The equipment of the Wisconsin
college Of agriculture made possible
the consideration and demonstration of
important phases of practical farming,
which were greatly appreciated by the
delegates. Besides the addresses Of the
two presidential candidates, Taft and
Bryan, the practical talks by Prof. j.
J. Hill Of Minnesota on the national
food problem, President G. ~R. VanHise
of the University of Wisconsin on the
conservation of natural resources, and
the helpful discussions and demonstra-
tions by Dean II. L. Russell, Prof. r.
A. Moore, g. G. Humphrey, A. S. Alex
ander, and other members Of the Wis
consin College Of Agriculture, were
the features Of the progam.
The effective work Of the colleges Of
agriculture was commended by the con
gress and the legislatures of the states
were urged to supply these colleges
with adequate financial support In
other resolutions adopted by the con
gress, it was urged that congress favor
the movement for the conservation of
natural resources; that it endorse the
efforts Of the national and state for
restry bureaus in the effort to preserve
the forests; that it approve the Davis
bill for the establishment of state
secondary schools for industrial edu-
cation.
The wives and daughters of the mem
bers of the congress were treated to
excellent addresses by Miss Edith G.
Charlton, Iowa, on how to make farm
life more attractive for women; by
Miss Bertha D. Laws, Minnesota, on
needed improvements in the common
schools; by Miss Helen Armstrong,
Chicago, on the need of more sanitary
homes on the farms.

END OF CUT RATES
Railways Declare That Coming of
Two Cent Rate Will Do
Away With Excursions
NO MONEY IN ROUND TRIPS

Western railroads may enter into an
iron-clad agreement to abolish after
Jan. /, 1909, all reduced rates in states
where cent fare laws are operative.
For a year after the 2 cent laws be-
came effective in July, 1907, the rail
roads tried to hold all rates up to the
2 cent basis. Legislators, in discuss
ing the measures, had said that with
the abolition Of passes and other special
privileges and the reduction of the
maximum rates from 3 cents to 2 cents,
the railroads would be able to make 2
cent rates for all occasions and still
realize as large profits as formerly.
1t developed, however, that with a
2 cent rate as the standard the travel
ing public demanded a still lower rate
for special occasions. During the fall
of 1907 and the spring ofl1908 the rail
roads refused to yield to the pressure
brought to bear against them to give
low rates, but finally, at the beginning
Of this summer, the structure began
to crumble, with the result that con-
ventions, state fairs and other gather
ings have had the benefit of round trip
rates of a fare and one half, Of -
cents a mile.
Throughout the summer all the rail
roads have joined in the rate cutting
but most of the stronger lines have
done SO under protest, their action
usually being forced by steps taken
by weak line that saw the oppor-
tunity of getting a little extra bust
ness by reducing rates.
According to passenger men the low
rates have been disastrous to reve-
pues. 1t is believed that the average
rate per mile for this year will be
but bare trife more than l cent a
mile, whereas, before the cent laws
were passed the average rate was
usually slightly more than cents a
mile.
With this situation the real roads
seem determined to turn over a new
leaf in keeping all rates on a 2 cent
basis. Whether or not they will be
able to carry out the plan if they should
definitely decide to do so at the coming
conference is problematical, for COM
mercial organizations, societies wishing
rates for conventions and numerous
other powerful bodies will join in a
clamor for return to the former
custom.

Frank Wagner, well known Kenosha
man has started an action for divorce
against his wife, Eva Myrtle Wagner,
also Of Kenosha on unusual grounds.
The couple were married in Kenosha
in 1905 and in his complaint Wagner

in regard to her former life. The
couple have one child eighteen months
old and in his suit for divorce the

Sand Sucker Takes Sand From
Beach Directly Over Water
Company's Intake Pipe
DRIVEN OUT BY OTHER CITIES
Officials Claim That Projections Along
the Water Front Are Being Bad
ly Damaged by the Re
moVal of Sand

The officials Of the city are having a
great deal of trouble with the Cream
city Sand Company of Milwaukee on
account Of the fact that the sand suck
ers owned by that company are engaged
in the work of taking sand from the
beaches along Kenosha.
Driven from Milwaukee by injunc-
lions secured by the city, the company
has been forced to secure sand at other
points and it is claimed that city of
fcials have driven the boats from other
ports along the lake until at the present
time the beach off Kenosha is about
the only place left for them to work.
1t is probable that Kenosha will be
forced to secure an injunction in order
to prevent the further working of the
sand sucker in the waters directly off
this port. Yesterday City Engineer
44oth discovered the sand barge work
ing at a point directly off the Kenosha
Water Works plant and great loads of
sand was being taken from directly
over the pipe of the intake for the
water company. The sand sucker car
ries hundreds Of yards of sand every
day and in a few days the big intake
pipe would be laid bare. In addition
to this it is declared that the work
of removing the sand is playing havoc
with the projections along the beach
It is claimed that the removal of the
sand along the Kenosha Shore line has
already resulted In considerable damage
to the protection and that the break
waters are being rotted out and under
mined simply because the sand is taken
from the lake by the Milwaukee Com
pany and not permitted to wash in and
fill up the breakwaters. The City Coun
Gil took up the matter some time ago
but no action had been taken on ac
count of the fact that a similar com
plant against working Of the company
is now on trial in the courts of Mil
waukee county and it is probable that
Kenosha will take no action until this
case is settled. The City Engineer di
rected the men in charge of the sand
sucker to get away from the intake al
once, but the men paid no attention tc
the orders and continued lifting SAND
until they had completed the work OF
| loading the barge. The barge did not
return to Kenosha this morning, but
in the past the employees of the Nil
waukee Company have defed the
city officials and it is evident that they
will continue to take sand from the
beach off Kenosha until stopped by
some order of the court.
The company has in former years
made contracts with people owning
property along the beach to take sane
from this property, but the demand fol
sand has become so great that the com
pany is not able to get all the sane
desired from these places and in add
tion to this fact it is claimed that The
company finds it cheaper to take the
sand from places without a remunera
ton. 1t is probable that the officials
Of the city will be forced to get an in
junction against the company in order
to stop the removal Of the sand.
