FROM OTHER PENS
IN "BLEEDING KANSAS"

The Kansas City Times published an
scribing the glories of the Pratt coun-
| ty fair. Pratt county is in the wheat
| belt of Kansas. 1t is prosperous, but
not more prosperous than many other
counties in the Jayhawker state. One
of the most suggestive of the illustra
lions published by the Times depicted
the farmers automobile parade at the
cars stretching far down the race
track. There was one solitary horse
in sight. THAT lone horse,' explained
the Times, belongs to farmer who
gone for a spin in the car when he
got in from the field ready to go to the
fair" Kansas, 1T would appear, is al
most in the horseless stage. 1t is easy
bile factories are doing such ter
mendous business. The western farm
er finds the motor car a necessity now,
while only a few years ago he was
ury which only the very wealthy
could enjoy. Times have changed
nightly in Kansas, and the changes
are along the lines of greater comfort
and luxury for the Jayhawker agricul-
turists. It is no longer bleeding Kan
sas,'' but automobile Kansas.-Balti-
more Sun.
BOARDING THEIR GRAIN.
A railway official is authority for
the statement that many farmers are
so prosperous that they are stacking
their small grain, and will not send it
to market until prices are at the top
notch. That means that the north
western farmer has reached the point
when he is able to get all the profit
there is in his business.
This will not only make a great diff
ference to him, but to the transporta-
ton companies. and to the consumer
poor consumer! Hitherto large per-
centage of the farmers have rushed
their crops to market as soon as the
grain was threshed. The result was
guilt of the market, low prices, and
traffic congested during the fall
AS the growers become financially
able to hold their produce the market
should bevome more stable. The grain
of the country will be sold as needed.
The farmer will get what his property
is worth instead of rushing it onto the
market for the benefit of the specula-
tor. and taking what he can get. The
railway companies will have their
crop moving operations extended over
a longer period. and consequently can
give better service.-St. Paul Dispatch.

What Rio JaneriO Has Done.
Some years ago when 1 first went
to Rio Janerio to live, it was most
unsanitary place, and it had every
town 1 had known distanced in the
matter of pests said Mr.. H. J. For
bian, formerly of San Francisco, at
the New City Hotel
"Petss in the shape of annoying and
filthy insects were there in myriads
Mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches
made life a burden. The toll taken
by yellow fever was frightful. Often
when an epidemic broke out entire
ships crew would die before their
vessel could unload and take cargoes
and get out of port.
Finally the authorities went to
work, and by draining marshy spots
and the liberal use of kerosene killed
off the mosquitoes. The sewers were
attacked by force of men who pump
ed fumes into them which annihilat-
ed the reaches and other bugs. 1t
cost a lot of money to carry on such
a campaign, but the work was faith
fully carried out and the result has
been magnificent.
fellow fever cases are now uncom-
mon and in a whole year there may
not be a dozen deaths from this cause.
Bugs and flies no longer cause people
to imeeriI their chances of salvation
by profanity. '-Baltimore American.

NOT WORRIED OVER RIGHT
Street Railway Rests Easy About
Council Bluffs Franchise.
LEUssLER SAYS IT IS CLEAR
Ascribes Visit of Attorney General
to Agitation Worked UD by
Improvement Club in the
Iowa City.

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company is not worried over the
Council Bluffs franchise situation. In
fact, according TO the street car company's
point Of view, there is no situation" al
though Attorney General Byers OF Iowa
was in Council Bluffs comforting with City
Solicitor Kimball.
I'VE have a clear enough franchise in
Council Bluffs" said r. A. Leussler, as
sistant general anage OF the street rail-
way company.
THE history OF the matter IS like this:
They have a West End Improvement club
over in Council Bluffs, which has been
meeting regularly for a long time and pass
ing many resolutions. These resolutions
they read over in the paper the next morn
ing and feel quite important.
They started before the Interstate Com
merce commission an inquiry as TO the fare
between Omaha and Council Bluffs. which
was asserted by them at present to be ex-
cessive. Next in order was the free
bridge agitation. and now has come the
franchise matter.
Il understand that Attorney General
Byers was in Council Bluffs in response
to an appeal. What he discovered / do
not know, but one thing is certain, and
that is that we have a perfectly valid
franchise.
But, stretch your imagination a little
and suppose we should be shown not to.
What good would it do them?"

South Dakota, which for twenty years
fought the evils of lax divorce laws before
a repeal was secured, and say that the
moralists of Nevada have an equally stub
born task before them. But Nevada is
cleaning house. In the last session of the
legislature. after gaming being permitted
for forty years with cognizance of law, a
bill abolishing gambling was p~assed-the
act to take effect in November of 1910
and it is believed that II that could be
done. the slack divorce avs can be more
easily repealed.
In the meantime the hotel men and cot
tage renters of Reno and the divorce law
yers will continue to flourish. Partisan
toilettes and sixty-horse power automobiles
will flash and dash through the quiet
th~oroughfares at all sorts OF hours, Men
and women viii continue to become ''citi-
zens" of Nevada on a six months residence
and leave the state forever after securing
their divorce d~ecrses.-New York Times.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-28

Reno has no objection to the present
status of affairs. 1t is estimated that the
revenue Of the town from the divorce
colony at present is close to $1OoO,OOo a
year, and that It will rapidly increase from
this on. To a community Of but 5000
population this is no small consideration.
Why Reno is preferred 10 any other SOM
munity in the state as a place Of residence
by those seeking divorces is because Of
the manifold advantages of the town over
any other in the state. Nevada is primarily
a mining state and nature usually hides
her precious metals in difficult places.
Reno is not a mining camp. and is not
only centrally situated from a railroad
point of view, but has scenic attractions
! rarely to be found in any American com
u'unity. o
1t is located In the heart OF a rich agrl-
cultural region, and through The center Of
the town runs a beautiful mountain stream,
the Truckee river. Surrounding the town,
at a brief distance, are snow-capped noun
tsins, and the winds coming from over
their SUBMITS keep the air cool on summer
nights. II is never very warm in Reno,
on the other hand. the winters are com
p%aratively mild.
An altitude Of $500 feet makes the atmos-
phere somewhat trying on nerves that are
not robust TO begin with, but nervous af-
~fectlons are the only complaints TO which
the climate Is unfavorable.
For the cure Of other ailments hot
mineral water springs abound in the vicin-
lty OF Reno. Twelve miles away are the
famous Steamboat springs which Comstock
millionaires were wont to %patronize forty
years ago. Three miles from Reno is
Moana springs. Five miles from Reno. to
the west, is another famous medicinal re-
sort, ~Laughton's springs, the road to which
runs along the Truekee river, making a
beautiful driving boulevard. Half way &c
