AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as

A large crowd OF San Joaquin coun-

and only a few were killed. or late
the coyotes have been killing sheep,
nigs and chickens. The scarcity OF
dead animals has caused the coyotes

farmer a lot Of trouble. As a general
-ule. these animals seldom attack
stock. but when driven TO starvation
they become bold.
It was with the hope that a large
number would be killed that general
invitation was extended to the people
70 assemble and make roundup. All

was wrong in both predictions, and

PROF. BARKER AND THE BOYS
University Man VIII Take Lads on
Tour of Biology, Geology

Til Young Mems Christian association
has hit upon another innovation. 1t has
arranged with Prof. F. D.. Barker of the
University of Nebraska to spend one month
with boys studying biology. geology and
botany out in Gods glorious out-of-doors"
among the insects, rocks and flowers.
Educational Secretary Miller Of the Young
Mems Christian association has looked
after the details OF the plan. He says the
course Of study will begin June 20 and end
July "a. Prof. Barker will take boys be-
tween 12 and IS years of age out with him
each day. five lays a week, and study
nature.
"Of course, the study will necessarily be
somewhat elementary in character" says
Mr.. Miller. But we hope to be able to
accomplish much good for the boys. Prof.
Barker will teach them the names and
characteristic OF the various insects,
animals. rocks. earth formations, flowers,
trees and plants, so that they may be able
to distinguish any of these when they
CONF in contact with them. We don't ex-
pect boys Of these ages in such a short
time TO learn all about any of these things.
but we do expect them to learn enough 10

MIDLAND IN LARGER HOME
Paint and Glass Company Forced 10
secure More Spacious
Plant.

Lack Of room in the company's present
quarters at leDS-l2 Harvey street, and in
crease Of business have forced the Mid
land Glass and Paint company to move to
the Ames building on Eleventh and Howard
streets, formerly occupied by NJ. f. Smith
& Co, wholesale dry goods dealers. The
building is now being put in shape for the
new tenants and the move will be made
before August /.
The building to be occupied by the Mid
land company in the future is twice the
size of It's present quarters and has a
floor space of 1O4,5t4 square feet. II will
be the largest exclusive glass and paint
jobbing house in the west. When once
ensconed In the new building the Midland
company will be able to fill orders much
more promptly for the reason that It will
have its stock all in the one building and
much more easily accessible. In the past
the company has been compelled to rent
additional outside room and have goods
stored in a number of houses at the
present time.
The company expects to add a large and
up-to-date mirror and beveling factory, the
present force being increased to a consid-
cradle extent. The capacity OF the loaded
art glass plant will also be enlarged, this
plant having grown rapidly in the past two
years. and a department for the manufac-
ture of art glass lamp shades, domes and
goods of a similar character will also be
installed. This will be done in addition 20
conducting the regular jobbing business as
heretofore.
All territory west Of Omaha. with the ex-
eeption of California and oregon, Is covered
by the Midland Glass & Paint Co., stocks
being carried at Denver, Ogden and Boise.
The company has a large number Of sales

RECORDS TORN FOR STAMPS
Valuable Files at Court House Mutt
lated for Money MRkinE-Relics
of Civil War.

That old and valuable records In the dis
trict clerks office have been torn and mu-
tilated by stamp collectors for the sake
of the civil war revenue stamps was the
startling discovery made by District Clerk
Smith Tuesday. Hundreds of papers filed
during the civil war are found TO have
holes torn in them where formerly the old
revenue stamps were pasted Most Of
them relate to land COMBINATIONS and ac-
lions in cases establishing title to land,
and in case of a contest the papers would
be Of great value to the owners of the
property.
Deputy District Clerk Cow, who has been
going through the stacks OF old documents
which have been stored in the court house
attic, has unearthed an armful OF mutt
lated papers and the Indications are he
has not discovered all the damage yet.
The mutilated papers are dated during
the later years of the war, when revenue
stamps were required on certain classes
of Many of them relate to
condemnation proceedings taken by the
Union Pacific when 1t was building its
line through eastern Nebraska. Others
concern similar proceedings by other prop
erty owners in establishing title to land.
owing to the lack of storage room these
old records have been lying in a confused
heap in the attic until recently, when Dis
trict Clerk Smith decided to arrange them
in order so they could be used in case
anyone wanted to make reference TO them.
In this way the mutilatiOn was discovered
Clerks who have been in the office for
sometime say about ten years ago a young
man called at the office and asked to be
allowed to so through the old files sayint
he was interested in some litigation. liz
was allowed to do so and later II was re-
ported he had sold $500 worth of old stamps
lin Omaha. Nothing was thought of the
incident until it was found practically all
OF the old revenue stamps had been torn
off the records. The name of the man has
been forgotten.
District Clerk Smith says the wholesale
stealing Of stamps is due to lack of space
and help properly to store and watch the
records OF the office, II is necessary to
give the public access to the files in many
cases and practically TO guard is main
tanned over these records.
Among the old files was found a com
mission signed by Governor Butler and
Secretary Of State Thomas p. Kennard.

The commission was evidently never de-

ALFALFA PALACE FOR SHOW
Building Planned for Accommodation
Of Corn Exposition Crowds.
WILL STAND NEAR AUDITORIUM
Structure VIII he Frame, Lined with
BaIed Alfalfa, and PrIses win
he Awarded for Best
Product.

From all indications an alfalfa palace will
be a necessity to accommodate the crowds
which will come to the National Corn Elk
position to be held in Omaha December ?
20 10.
Plans for this palace are being cons.d-
cred by the executive committee Of the
corn show. 1t is proposed to erect at small
cost a large frame building south OF the
Auditorium, where the corn show will be
held. This will be lined with baled alfalfa.
Prizes will be offered for the best alfalfa
grown and as a large exhibit OF grasses is
expected the entire building will have the
appearance Of being built Of alfalfa and
timothy hay in bales.
There is a section in Iowa which is the
kingdom Of one Timothy. The farmers who
are fortunate enough to be the subjects Of
this hay king are anxious to send a display
to Omaha and 1t is possible that while the
alfalfa palace is built of alfalfa from Ne
braska, Colorado and Wyoming, it will be
decorated with bales OF timothy hay.
Alfalfa Meal Mills.
Just now Omaha is promised an industry
which may equal In extent any industry in
the city-the alfalfa meal mills.
1t has been demonstrated that alfalfa is
one Of the best foods for dairy and stock
cattle. The packers recognize this and are
paying the highest prices for stock fed on
s,falfa and corn. The dairymen also have
discovered the value OF alfalfa meal. which
is a balanced ration, This is shown by the
fact that the oradell Dairy Farms company
Of Trenton, N. j., is to open a large mill in
Omaha. The NJ. c. Peters Mill company,
already the largest manufacturers of al
falfa meal in the west and Inventors OF the
special machinery, have contracts for all
OF the product OF their mill and are con-
templating an addition doubling the ca
pacity.
From Colorado It is learned that seven al
falfa meal mills are being erected in that
state, while western Nebraska is to nave
two mills. one Of them a branch Of an
Omaha mill.
indications are that Omaha will have half
a dozen alfalfa meal mills in two years.
turning out daily almost 1900 tons of al
falfa meal. and the National Corn Elk
position Is not going to overlook such a
growing industry.
Among the prizes offered will be hay
presses worth from s1oO'to $50.
