WIGMAN WANTS NEW BUILDING
Advocates Importance OF Manual
Training structure Rs Adjunct
to High school.

"a building to be used for shops for
manual training Is one hundred times more
important than the new wing to the high
school and l hope that the board will de-
eide to erect one this year. is the way
l look at It,"
]. Il. WiEman. instructor of manual
training in the high school, thus expresses
himself in regard to the resolution adopted
Monday night by the Board Of Education
to erect a shop building on the high school
campus II available funds can be had. The
instructor says that a building Is a neces-
sity, that the schools have outgrown the
present quarters and that II Omaha wants
to keep abreast of the times it must do
something for manual training.
IF we had a building of our own we
would install a blacksmith shop, steam en-
gines, lathes and all manner Of machinery.
A four years course would then be insti-
tuted and the boy who graduates from
that course would be in a position to accept
a good job. His apprenticeship would have
been served. Paxton & Vierling now will
not employ any boys who have not taker
a course in manual training. as limited as
is that course now. If we had more ade-
quate facilities we could equip the young
men Of Omaha so they could, upon the
completion Of their high school course. take
a position in the Union Pacific shops and
hold It,"
Mr.. Wigman says that a suitable build
Ing would cost from $4,000 to 100000 and
that $4,000 ought to be expended for ma
chinery in the shops.

OMAHA GETS W OIL RATE
Local Dealers Benefit by Interstate
Commerce Ruling ON Pc
troIeum Tariffs.

Word was received by the Commercial
club Tuesday that the National Petroleum
association had won the Chicago-omaha
oil rate case and a reduction of 81 cents in
the rate on oil from Chicago to Omaha was
ordered by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission.
The rate on petroleum and its products
from Chicago and Peoria to Omaha has
been q cents for many years. The COM
plainant showed that the rate from Chicago
to Kansas City was 20 cents; also that in
making the through rates from Ohio points
to Omaha a combination of rates from the
Ohio shipping point to Chicago and from
Chicago to Omaha was used and the rate
from Chicago to Omaha in such instances
was % cents.
After hearing numerous witnesses and a
large number OF explanations by the car
riers, the commission ordered that a rate
of 24.3 be made from Chicago and Peoria
to Omaha.
AS some 12.O 900 tons of petroleum and its
products were shipped to Omaha last year
from Chicago and Peoria the saving
amounts to about $6,4sO to Omaha dealers.
In the testimony introduced before the COM
mission it was shown that $500 tons of oil
were shipped to Omaha from points east OF
the Mississippi river during the first eight
months of 1907. The saving on this amount
alone would be S5,1S1.

BOY KILLS HIS BENEFACToR
Insane Youth il Turned over to Inn
migration Authorities to he
DepOrted.

Frank Svor5d, CONVICTED of killing his
benefactor at Bellville, Kan, several weeks
ago, but acquitted of the charge on the
grounds Of insanity, has been ordered de-
ported by the immigration authorities on
the ground of being an insane criminal.
Svorjd came to America about a year ago
and made his home for a while with an
uncle near Bellville, Kan. He is said to
nave been possessed of an extremely
vicious temperament and delighted in tor
turing and abusing domestic animals. His
uncle demonstrated with him for his cru
city, when a neighbor, conceiving that
Svorjd was being prosecuted by his relative,
persuaded the boy TO make his home with
him. SvoTjd after remaining with his new
benefactor a few weeks resumed the fprac-
tice OF torturing and abusing animals and
seemed to take special delight in abusing
a valuable work team. His benefactor at
first mildly admonished the boy to cease
abusing the team, but he was at 1t again in
a few days with greater viciousness than
ever. He managed to get hold Of a shotgun
and loaded it with buckshot and one day
he hid in the barn and while his benefactor
was doing some work outside the barn
Svorjd shot him in the back, completely
Kidding him with buckshot, causing the in
slant death of his benefactor.
In the trial of Svorjd it was developed
that both Of his parents in Bohemia were
insane and that his mother had only left
an insane asylum in Bohemia a few days
before this boys birth.
The Omaha representative of the immi'
grafton bureau will go TO Bellville thil
week, where Svorjd is still confined in jail
and take him to New York, from whence
he will be sent back to Bohemia.

CHICAGO J0BBERS PERPLExED
Disturbed over Decision Cutting Rate
on Freight to Mississippi and
Missouri Rivers.

Chicago jobbers are perplexed over the
recent decision Of the Interstate Commerce
commission, in which the commission
ordered a reduction of Is per cent on
through first class freight between the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. John L.
Webster, representing the Missouri valley
dry goods jobbers, waged a hard fight
against the railroads and forced a re-
duction of 10 per cent on the through
freight, which is figured on making a
aving Of about 100000 a year TO the job-
bers at Omaha, Kansas City and st.
Joseph. The Chicago JobbeTs think they
can see an advantage 10 the Missouri river
jobbers in this new adjustment OF rates
and now declare they Will fight the
change to the bitter end, ever TO carrying

The following interesting story told
by Mr.. J. H. Riley, Pensioned Fire
man of South Boston, Mass, is a
sample of the thousands received from
grateful men M m who have
been benefited by the Worlds great
tonic-stimulant.
in an interview, Mr.. Riley said:
Il Joined the Fire Department of
South Boston in 1890 and was lately
pensioned off because of a bad fall
while in service, which telescoped my
spine.
"A little over a rear ago l was taken
sick while in the engine house. and 1t
developed into heart trouble and ma
laria. l went to a number Of doctors
and two different hospitals and went
through a course of treatment from
each, but l did not receive much bene-
fit from either of them. The doctors
would not let me go in swimming, nor
smoke, nor drink anything but water.
l stopped both tea and coffee. My
case was getting very serious when
a friend said to me: Why don't you
get a bottle of Duffy's Malt Whiskey?

good thing to be able to say. l thank
you for the remedy that put me on

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an

every kernel thoroughly matted, thus
destroying the germ and producing a

a malt essence which is the most Ell

Cats and Birds.
(Boston Transcript


A game commissioner who recon-
mends the high license of the house
cat in order that the lives of birds
may be spared has the courage of his
convictions. And, tho all or many of
the facts in the case may be on his
side, the friends of the cats will pro-
coed to make life miserable for him
by trying to convince him that he
misjudges the cats. 1t is the secretary
of the Pennsylvania game commission
who has most recently tempted an
avalanche of correction by saying that
there is no greater destroyer of bird
life than the cat, and many game pro-
tectors in other states will be inter-
ested to see whether, in the face of all
the attacks made upon him, he
changes his point of view or holds
firmly to an opinion already expressed.
