Jar Of Phosphorus, Goes Off and Fire
men Hasten to Save the
Building.

One broken jar OF chemicals in the
laboratory of the gas commissioner Of
flee in the city hall brought out the entire
downtown section Of the fire department.
Three fire engines, two hook and ladder
trucks and several hose companies were
rushed to the city hall, where dense smoke
poured from the windows Of the fourth
floor. indicating that q fierce fire was con-
Stunning the entire interior. The ladders
we're unlocked. but before they could be
placed against the building and before a
single stream OF water was brought into
play, the cause OF the fire was discovered
and the fire fighters returned 70 their
stations.
A jar Of phosphorus is used In testing
the quality Of gas. This has to be kept
covered with water all the time. but the
jar was broken. the water seeped way
and in a short time the laboratory room
was filled with smoke issuing from the Jar
Of phosphorus
Charley Rawoski. janitor OF the fourth
floor of the city hail. was the hero of the
hour. He discovered the broken Jar Of
phosphorus. plunged It under water and

Gang of SharperS
Nipped at Work
in Hanscom Park
Men Said to Be Collecting Little
Easy Money Are Taken in

A large rang Of sharpers operating IN
Hanscom park in broad daylight has been
effectually put out of business by the
police, who have arrested a mar who
gave the name Of George Davenport Of
Oklahoma City, and is alleged to be one
OF the ~swindlers.
Fred Brinzinger of Ely, New, was the
first victim of the crooks to report his
loss to the police. He told the police he
had been buncoed out of $50 by three
men. who played cards and attached his
roll, piece by piece, while he stood by
and staked one Of the poker players with
funds to gamble in the game.
John w. Harvey, a horse trader and In
dian interpreter of Rosebud, s. D., was
found in company with a suspect when
Officers Fleming and Thornton went to

ner of the park, and he led me toward

but I mistrusted him and managed to
get to Park venue. where the officers

Harvey had $3.50 on his person, the money
being intended to start him in the state
university this fall. He is stopping at the
Her Grand While undergoing treatment in
Omaha for his eyes. His money was not
lost to the swindlers, as he suspected
something wrong and the police arrived on
the scene.

Impression f. Not to BE

Mayor Dahlman. City Engineer Craig
and Street Commissioner Flynn rave
formed themselves into a great triumvirate
and started out to clean up the city as
never before.
They are firmly resolved to make con-
tractors and buslness men walk turkey
and come up to the scratch during the
next few days and there will be no let
up in the campaign either day or night,
workday or Sunday, until the business dis
trict presents a respectable appearance.
The mayor was the first to realize what
the city is up against in the way of dirty
streets and uncompleted improvements in
the downtown district at this inopportune
time when the city is beginning to fill up
with thousands of delegates to the Eagles
convention and visitors to King Ak-Sar-
Ben's carnival. He decided what ought to
be done and what must be done, and
then called in the engineer and street
commissioner and told them what was
what in so many words. The result is
that the three COMMUNICATIVE, en-
cheering and cleaning-will work together
in an effort to make things hum.
First Effort ON Sixteenth street.
First efforts were put forth by the en-
gineer on Sixteenth street. where the en-
tire pavement has been torn up for over
a week between Farnam and Douglas
streets preparatory 70 replacing old street
car rails with heavy steel and the old
granite pavement with asphalt. He held
a long conference with the officials Of the
company and succeeded in getting them to
agree to put on day and night crews to
work through Saturday and Sunday and
have the heavy rails all in by Monday
morning.
Upon the completion of this work the
paving crews can get possession OF the en-
tire street and ave the pavement down
in short order. Concfets must set three
days before the asphalt II laid, but the
city engineer believes The entire work can
be out OF the way before Thursday, the
day for the Eagle parade.
The work would have been completed be-
fore had the crews not been hindered by
rain. 1t was also found necessary to put
a concneto base under the heavy rails and
this took more time than was planned.

The Spirit of Nebraska

Many writer's have exhausted
themselves in discussing the spirit
of Nebraska. The hopefulness, the
courage, the enthusiasm of the Ne
braska citizens cannot be avoided.
His pride is boundless, his faith is
far reaching. His belief in the men,
his admiration for the women, and
his confidence in the institutions Of
his locality, makes him eloquent as
he espouses them. It is a fine spirit
and the right one. 1t will carry a
man far, and it will carry a COM
munity farther if its men all join
in it.
It is sufficient to state here that q
tidal wave Of progressiveness has
struck the county seats and small
cities of Nebraska. Opportunity has
knocked at their door, and they has
tened to undo the latch. If the city
and country towns are to hold their
own, in the present strenuous strug-
gle for existence and advancement,
they must adapt measures to re-
move every possible cause of fric-
ton in their machinery of trade.
Publicity is the key to the twenti-
eth century business success. He
who has a business must get it be-
fore the world, or the world will
pass him by. The general laws Of
publicity, which apply to ordinary
business institutions apply with ad-
ditional force to municipalities, to
communities and cities. To settle
up a country you must attract emf
grafton by exploiting its resources.
To build up a town or city you must
advertise to the world its industrial
and commercial possibilities. Z
For this purpose there has sprung
up in nearly every town and village
in Nebraska some kind of public or
~ganization, working for the indus
trial development of the community.
All these have one aim in view-the
betterment of the town and the
small city, that it may be a more
pleasant place in which to live and
therefore mor prosperous. These
associations are found in nearly
every live community. To these
bodies are intrusted the. unsched-
uled and undefinable possessions of
the public. 1t is for them to mar
shall and exploit the resources of
their particular territory by adver-
Using them as they would goods in
their own personal business.
The working capital, or more
strictly speaking, the stock in trade
of any municipality is the unoccu-
pied territory. The industrial, raw
material, and the business oppor-
tunities within its particular sphere
of influence. Every home town is a
center of industry, the throbbing,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-11

dominating heart of it's surrounding
community.
1t is quite plain that the time has
arrived for a stirring up of the COM
munity conscience to a realization
of the duty the individual owes to
his town. Every good citizen owes
allegiance first to his family; second
to the community in which he lives;
and third, to the nation. Selfish
ness, when home is an object, is al
most a virtue. What is needed are
more and more who will appreciate
their obligation to organized COM
munities. The country towns and
small cities in Nebraska that from
whatever cause fail to take advant-
age of every trade wind that blows
to retain its legitimate local bust
ness, will lose out in the race. But
the town that organizes its forces
and makes an intelligent and sys-
tematic fight for its own will win
out and prosper and wax strong.
The average Nebraska country
town is up-to-date on everything ex-
cept the highways that lead to it.
The common highways bear the
same relation to the country town
that the railroads bear to the great
commercial center. They are gath
erers of business. The introduction
of the telephone, the rural free de-
livery, the trolley line and the auto
mobile, instead of decreasing, has
enlarged the trade territory of the
country town. The Nebraska peo-
pie are noted for their habit of get
ting together and talking things
over. This custom of interchanging
ideas among various classes of
workers, as the farmer, the manu-
facturer, the artisan, the merchant,
the banker and the professional
man, is most strongly established
Ill IIeSc DIdlilG COuIb1Co WhCLO CAN~
ilization has made the greatest
strides. 1t has come to be natural
for him to accomplish by co-opera-
ton what he cannot do alone. The
man who has pride in his home town
and who, if it does not meet his
ideas, works and strives to arouse
enthusiasm in others to make it
such, is the best citizen. Just as we
are considered a nation practically
sufficient unto ourselves, so the cit
liens of Nebraska are loyal to home
institutions.
1t is for these reasons that "The
Story of Nebraska" is being told in
The Omaha Sunday Bee. The inves-
LEGATIONS are being made with care,
and the stories of the counties are
told conservatively. They are &C
complishing great good for Ne
Draska.
