Present weather conditions are thought
TO be partly responsible for an extra large
amount Of petty thieving Of overcoats
and clothes, many citizens having gone
to their clothes closets at the first intima-
ton of the approach of Jack Frost, only to
find that an earlier bird had beat 'em

stolen clothes were made to the police
Thursday and Friday and three of the
cases were overcoats.

taken from a trunk in his home. the thief
leaving everything else untouched. Another
cold member OF the light-fingered brigade
was warm-hearted enough to leave every
thing else except an overcoat in J. F.
Struble's room at the Palace hotel after
unlocking the door while the owner of the
coat was away.
While Andrew Johnson Of Eigin, Neb..
was sitting in the waiting room at the
Union station with his wife, some clever
thief managed to slip away with his new
overcoat. which Johnson had placed ON the
bench between his wife and himself. No
one was in sight OF the couple when the
coat made its getaway, and Johnson says he
never supposed coats could walk.

WRECKED AUTO HDTESON'S
seven Thousand Dollar Machine
Blows Up Self and a Farm.
SENDS BINDER TO ELYsIAN FIELD
Omaha Optician Had just Bought His
Fine Auto and Insured IL
for six Thousand
Dollars.

]. c. Huteson, optician, owned a S,eOO
automobile just twenty-five days until II
was destroyed by fire in a farmers barn
east of Bonnie, Ia, where 1t was beirg re-
paired.
While news dispatches told Of an auto
mobile blowing up and sending a self
binder to Elysian fields and several cream
separators into the Milky Way it was
not until Saturday that It became known In
Omaha the machine was the new one be-
longing to Mr.. Huteson. which had just
been bought from ]. J. Deright.
Mr.. Huteson received the long distance
telephone call from Chauffeur Larson, who
not only told him that his automobile was
a wreck, but also that it had burned a
farmers implement house, blown farm ma
chinery around over three or four sec
lions and that the farmer was not insured
On the automobile Mr.. Huteson had $500
insurance and he will 30 70 Boone to meet
an adjuster from Chicago. TIL new ma
chine was being run into Chicago from
Omaha to have the top changed and other
alterations made, it being deemed better
to run the machine the 800 miles than to
knock it down and crate it. Accordingly
Mr.. Larsen started with the machine Mon
day. but ran into some bad roads and
pulled in to the farmers shed to put on
some leather guards and make repairs.
The flame flared back, caught the gasoline
tank somewhere-only the chauffeur knows
where-and a second later the machine was
a heap of ruins and Larsen another chsuf-
feur with a narrow escape.
Larsen would not give out any statement
regarding whose machine he was driving
until he received word from Mr.. Huteson

bile had destroyed itself and SO much farm

ENORMOUS COST OF WARS
Science and the Dollar Mark VIII
Take the Place of the Hollow
SOnarR.

II you are looking for a good concrete
example Of how science is making war more
and more costly. here 1t is. Torpedoes
themselves are each worth q small fortune.
But motorite will probably make It cost
S5. 200 a half hour to run a torpedo boat.
II is only to be used at the supreme mo-
ment. other fuel being used under ordinary
circumstances. At the crucial moment 1t
will give the torpedo boat and the torpedo
a speed greater than an express traln-at a
tremendous cost. But balance against the
cost. large as it sounds, the possible, almost
certain, less deadly the warfare. The rea-
son is not far to seek. Double the range
of your guns, for instance, and you simply
double the distance between the fighting
lines. The farther the ,man-target Is from
the man-killer. the safer is the man-target.
Increase the explosive force of shells and
torpedoes, and the strength and resistance
of srmor plate are increased to meet them.
II you doubt that war is less deadly today
than in ancient times. compare some of the
battles. lambda slew 5000 out OF $1,000
vanquished ROTans at Csnnae. At Muk-
den after many days of fighting, the Rus
sian dead, including these lost in the re-
treat. were barely $1,000 out of a total num-
Der engaged OF nearly 100000. The vau-
pushed Russians in the greatest sea fight
of modern times, when Togo smashed
their fleet at Tsushinis, lost only 1900
in both killed and wounded. At salamis
the defeated Persians lost hundreds Of
thousands killed outright. These are not
exceptions. either.
After all. il is really money more than
life that counts nowadays in war. rhe
deadliest of modern msn-killing devices are
making war more and more impossible
than are all the peace conferences COM
~bined-because they are dollar killing. Uni
versal peace Is the product Of the inventor
perhaps more than OF the clergyman.-Ar-
thur b. Reeve in Broadway MagaEins.

FRESH AIR AND GOOD WATER
Essentials for the Making of n
Great City, Says President
Eliot.

President Eliot Of Harvard appeared
before an enthusiastic audience of 1900
at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn
recently. His topic was The Building and
Administration of a Modern City" Presi-
dent Eliot spoke. in part, as follows:
THE first needs of a great modern city
are material and physical; the needs
which never were appreciated or consid-
cred until within the last few years; that
is years, few in comparison with the CEN
turtles, during which men and women
have been massed together. The funda-
mental needs in a modern city are, first,
pure water in every street and alley. on
every floor in every city. The population
of hat city had no brilliant light in
every room of every house, a need now
felt to be imperative not only for the
convenience of our populace, but'to obtain
fresh air.
when 1 remember the situation in Har-
ward college when | was a student there,
there was no running water; nothing out
wells; there was no means of light eX-
cept whale oil and camphorine. About
fresh air, nobody thought Of 1t. Nobody
thought of 1t as a necessity. Not an
open window in all the college buildings,
The entrance to the building at night was
dark, unless the moon shone, There was
nothing which we think now to be abb
solutely necessary for health. This is
not so very long ago-fifty years. When
/ was a boy in Boston ] was brought up
In one, of the best houses in that city,
on the top of Beacon hill. All the water
had to be pulled up from a well, and that
we'll had two cesspools in its immediate
vicinity. There were also seven private
stables in the vicinity. That was one of
tire conditions of things in one of the
best houses in Boston in the year 1852.
You see how recent this need Of pure
water. When / was a boy l came to
New York with my father. 1t was a
marvel to my boyish eyes. . We spent
the night and part OF the day in the oapi-
tai of New York state. 1 was surprised
to see pigs running through the streets.
Another journey l took was to Baltimore,
where 1 observed the surface drainage
system. The water all ran down, into the
little harbor of Baltimore.
These needs must be met In a mod
ern city. 1t involves a great business
operation; requires application Of great
ability. The business of meeting these
needs is new and clever execution Is re-
quired. Is il then a wonder that the
American democracy has never been able
to find the men to apply these methods?
An autocratic government can do better.
For instance. the German government
does things on a vastly more intelligent
scale than ours. They have not mad TO
train all voters under universal suffrage.
German suffrage in Berlin is a limited
suffrage. The largest property owners
have the largest interest. Men are elected
over and over again. The legislative BODY
is highly intelligent, IL would take a
much longer time for the American
democracy to do such work"-BostOn

An Unlucky Truck Grower.

Among the truck growers near
Olmito who were SO unlucky as to
fose out entirely on their lettuce
crop this spring, owing to fate OF
the dishonesty of commission mer-
chants, is one who is particularly
Iunlucky. Owing to his heavy
losses, he has been unable to raise
the money to meet the next pay
\ ment of notes due on his land
<and is threatened with the loss of
his entire investment, with all of
the improvements on the land; as
we'll as the first cash payments
frnade by him. This man shipped
several hundred dollars wofth of
lettuce. and had a great deal more
Iof the truck in his fields, but re-
rceiving no returns on that shipped,
he did not ship the balance, as he
could not afford to buy crates and
pay the heavy expense of packing
and shipping with no returns in
sight. To add to his misfortunes,
his wife has been seriously i'll for
some time, though she is now
somewhat better. This unfortu-
mate man went TO the vendor of
the land aud offered to pay interest
on the mortgage note, which
will be due in very short time,
rasking for an extension of the
note. He was given the marble
heart" however. and told that he
.must either pay the note in full or
forfeit the land and all. He is

rigation bitches and cultivating
the land, so that it is naturally
worth a great deal more now than
when he bought. 1t seems terri
bic hardship for a man to have
such hard luck all around.
1t is to be hoped that he may
succeed in raising the money to
save his investment. IF he fails,
Pit can be seen readily that this
case will do more to injure this
locality than $4,000 worth of adj
