Grandstander Hadley.

Worth Co. TimeS-Of all the
cheap political grandstanders At
torney General Hadley takes the
bakery. Recently he puts out a
statement concerning the work
done by him since assuming the
office of Attorney-general, which
came to him by fifty thousand
democrats not going to the polls
for four years ago. In this State he
boasts in vain-glorious manner
how he made the Standard Oil
Company reduce the coal oil from
8 1-2 to 6 1-2 cents per gallon. Who
of our readers has bought coal oil
for 6 1-2 cents per gallon? Who
bought it even at 8 1-2 cents? Any
body? Hadley also says he made
the insurance companies reduce
their rates from 20 to 40 per cent.
Compare your policies of four years
ago with those written now and see
whether you can find the difference
of from 20 to 40 per cent. Ours
show an entirely different state
Mr.. Hadley will find that people
have kept tab on his official career
and he cannot cover the bad spots
with varnish of his own manufac-
ture When the campaign gets
thoroughly under way he will be
called upon for many explanations
touching his metOric news paper
record. Even now the labor inter-
ests are asking concerning his con-
nection with the drafting of the so
called antiinjunctiOn plank of the
Chicago platform, which his over
Jealous friends attribute to him.
His So per day hotel charges will
also come into limelight and will be
critically passed upon by the men
who eat corn bread washed down
with parched corn coffee.

About Advertising.

What is good for one business
man is good for another. What
ever enterprise in a town that tends
to draw trade into it, is a benefit to
each and every business alike. If
it draws people to town, they visit
each of the stores and each store
gets its share of the trade. If the
newspaper is a factor in drawing
to town the business man who does
not advertise does the wrong thing
when he refuses to join his fellow
merchant and do share in helping
to bring the people, the buyers into
your town and who share in the
prosperity with the live advertising
merchant. The non-advertiser
ought to look at advertising in a
different light than he does, He
ought to be in the front rank and
not in the rear. = Carthage Demo
Graf.

CAPTAIN DUNN is NOT LOST
IL is Only His Fine Dog thai is Miss
ing, but Police Get Great
Scare,

II a letter of information left by an Of
ficer of the night police force Thursday
night for Day Captain Mostyn is true,
Night Captain Henry w. Dunn is lost in
the wilds Of East Omaha and the day
police officers have been asked to keep a
sharp lookout for him. But after an in
vestigation Friday morning it developed
that the report of the loss OF a strong and
wide-awake police captain had been made
only through slight carelessness in writing
the report. Following is the letter as re-
ceived by Captain Mostyn:
Police Headquarters, Oct. 29-Captain
Mostyn, Dear Sir: Officer Lesch reports
that Captain Dunn got away from the
to have the patrolmen keep a sharp look
out for him.
An accurate description of a liver-col-
ored pointer followed the news Of Captain
Dunn's disappearance and the report was
signed by one Of the desk officers.
It seems that Captain Dunn had left his
fine hunting dog with one Of the patrolmen
to keep for the winter, the dog had gotten
away from the officers home in East
Omaha, the desk officer had endeavored to
report the fact and the amusing report OF
the loss OF a police captain had been oo-
casloned merely by the use Of the words
Captain Dunn" in the report instead OF
the words Captain Dunn's dog"
The fact that the officer, who made the
mistake in the report. failed to appear for
duty at the police station Friday morning,
makes the matter all the more interesting,
as wild conjectures are circulating as 70
what has become Of him. II Is not known
whether he was given a vacation for max
ing the beef, or whether he is now try
ing 70 locate the missing captain.

Among the firms which are expanding
their business is the Bowman-Kranz Lum-
Der company, which has bought almost two
blocks Of vacant property near West Leav-
enworth and the Belt line for a second
yard.
This company has extensive yards near
Thirtieth street on the Belt line, but its
growing business and that of the Missouri
Valley Lumber company, which the firm
controls, makes the second yard neces-
sary.
The ~Bowman-Kranz company came TO
Omaha from Sioux City because of the ad-
vantages offered for distribution and with
other lumber companies located in Omaha.
has enjoyed a healthy growth during the
last two or three years when Omaha has
taken the place as one Of the big Wholesale
lumber markets in the north.
The inquiries received by the CONNER
cial club indicate that II business is undis-
turbed after election by the success of cand.-
dates who it is expected will not shake the
foundations OF industry. the Omaha Belt
line will be the busiest stretch of track
between Chicago and the Pacific coast.

"Omaha is growing and improving rapidly.

President F. A. DelaEo of the Wabash at
the Union station last night. Il have been
here two or three times since ] have been
with the Wabash and l was here several
times before, and on each visit I see new
evidences OF substantial business growth.
"Our trip has no special Significance from
either a railroad or business standpoint.
We are making the usual annua inspec-
ton of the Wabash lines and our main
object Is to meet shippers and discuss
matters Of mutual interest and also we are
inspecting the property OF the company"
How do we find business conditions
along our lines?" he said, repeating a ques-
ton. I'm a general way l can say they
are good and are steadily improving. OF
course we are not doing quite what we did
a year ago, but the number of idle cars
is decreasing every day
Mr.. Delano refused to talk politics and
would not even express an opinion as to
the result of the election next week. I'VE
are railroad men, not politicians" he re-
marked smilingly. In our party you will
find men Of all political beliefs" He adj
mltted. however. that an exception would
probably have to be made in the case OF
the socialist party.
President Delano Is accompanied on the
"trip by the heads OF the various depart

Fasteners Going West.
Thousands Of fasteners seeking the
warmer cline of California are daily pass
ing through Omaha and the capacity of
the depot facilities is taxed every day to
handle the tourists. The close of the colon
list rates is at hand and Thursday the Bur-
lington train ran into Denver in three sec
lions and the three afternoon trains Of the
Union Pacific for the west had fourteen
cars each. These colonists are hustling to
California to escape the coal bills of the
colder cline.
The Burlington route has arranged to
give complete election returns to passen-
gers on evry passenger train on the system

posted in conspicuous places all through
the trains and will be received from each

Second Burlington Route.

Second Burlington Route.
Burlington officials are a~nxfously await
ing the building of the second route from
Omaha to join with the Northern Pacific
near Billings. Officials say, however, that
in spite of reports to the contrary, nothing
will be done on this during the winter,
but that It probably will be the first work
undertaken in the spring. The building OF
this second line through Wyoming to the
Northern Pacific will mean that the Burl-
ington will not be extended TO Salt Lake City
as was contemplated two years ago. The
second lire will be an absolute necessity
soon for two reasons, one, the increase Of
business due TO the return Of prosperity,
and the second. the extra business which
will come to the northwest line because Of

tie the work before freezing weather puts

miles Of this new track IS now in operation
and except. for three miles of rock cut
thirty-two miles should be done before
December. The doubl track work in Ne
braska is also being pushed and mile after
mile is being added to that now in use.
To a person standing along the line Of the
Union Pacific and watching train after
train as they are sent over the road, the
wonder is how the road has been operated
so long as it has without these double
tracks. At times it is almost a procession
of trains.
