James j. Hill, the railroad mag
nate, does not want to see the coun-
try thrown into a state of specu-
lation on the crop situation, and is
dfscouraging the bumper crop re
ports which have been sent out from
the crop headquarters. Mr.. Hill says
that the northwest will harvest a
crop s50,0O0,O00 larger than last
year, but that it will not be a bumper
crop by any means. He thinks that
much injury will come to the bust
ness interests of the country by en-
couraging transportation.

Again will South Dakota attract
the attention of the homeseekers of
the country when the Standing Rock
--gency registration begins on Oct.
4 and continues for three weeks.
South Dakota has beensthe means of
Offering many homes to the people
through the generosity of the govern
ment, and in this way the state Is
becoming populated quite fast. If
one-half of the claims are filed upon
in the Standing Rock it will mean a
big increase in the course Of a year
or SO, and 1t is hoped that these set
tiers will get on their land before
the census is taken next year. The
filing is being advertised to a great
extent and there will be thousands
ready to take the usual chance. There
are some $4,000 homesteads to be
drawn in South Dakota but not quite
SO many in the north state.

There is quite a struggle going on
among the towns in the northern
part of the state for the location of
filing points for the opening of the
Standing Rock agency. Pierre and
Aberdeen. are contending for the
leading places in this respect. Aber-
deem seems to have assumed that the
city is the only spot and that it has
been decided upon by the government
representative. According to the
Watertown Public Opinion, Judge
Witten has not as yet named any
town as the special place for filing
and that will be up to him later to
make the selection. The Watertcwn
paper seems to think that Pierre has
as good a show as Aberdeen.

The reports of the threshers ha,

The reports of the threshers have
commenced to come in from many
parts of the state and they display
"a very encouraging front Of what the
crop will turn out to be. Barley,
which made such a fine crop last
year, is reported to be slightly off
color this year, and up in the north
.ern part Of the state, particularly in.
Sphinx county, it is being graded No.
3 instead Of No. l., as was the case
last year. Wheat around this section
of the state is running all the way
from Is to rs bushels per acre and
oats are turning out from 40 to 60.
bushels. These yields indicate that
the state will not be in the least be-
hind her record of a year ago, and
in some instances will be ahead of
it. Corn is yet to be heard from
and at the present time it is making
a very loud noise in the field as SIS
ears are growing larger. The race
is on between the corr and lack
Frost with the corn having a mighty
good start. There seems to be little
reason for worrying over the early
frost proposition. Taking the past
years into consideration FROST has
not injured a crop in the central ani
southern portions in ten years. it
always having got out of reacl. in
good maturity a week ahead OF the
killing frost. So there is every fea-
son to expect that corn will beat ths
frost to it this season. It seems to be
we'll advanced, and on the road =
victory.

Elevated from the job of sweeping
the streets to a dukedom in Russia
is what happened to John Panuska,

ces of Russia but the ancient ancestor
was driven from the estate and it
was confiscated by the Russian gov
Time passed OF and sew

younger brother of John Panuska
studied law and when he got thorough
|ly established in his practice he CON-
menced to study the disappearance
of the estate which once belonged to
the Panuskas. The younger brother
was successful in establishing his
claim and 1t was recognized by the
czar, and the papers conveying the
same were sent to the street sweeper
at Omaha. Panuska doesn't know
what to do about it. He has lived in
Omaha for thirty years; he has livea
the life of a laborer for so long that
he cannot feel the Importance Of the
higher life of ease which has been
opened for him, and he does not show
any disposition to give up his street
sweeping to adopt the title of duke
in his original country. That is a
placidity of life unaccounted for, ex-
cept, perhaps. that the man has lost
his ambition and can rise no higher
than the life he has lived for so many
years. His children, however, and
the brother who made the discovery
are going to try and awaken the
street sweeper to the Importance Of
accepting his rightful position in
Russia. !

WHAT'S YOUR CREDIT wcasH.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
other day a man in an overall SILT.
with a very plainly dressed Moman
by his side, entered one Of the big
stores in Sioux Falls. He stood by
inexpensive dress goods and q few
other necessaries, and as the clerk
placed them in the carrier basket
the man said:
Charge that to me-"
He spoke with the air of d mal
accustomed to receiving cree. aid
confident that there wo.ld be no
questions asked. "All rigill SIR" said
the clerk. The goods Went Up to the
balcony and came back in L nuiry
wrapped up and a duplicate biz with
them. The man took the buuile
and departed with his wife. He WI. ~ *
ed erect and wasted no time by t.ef
way, but started for home " tne
side of his little wife.
The couple were evidently poor
and the %frugality OF their purchases
showed that the man did not COM
mand a large salary. yet his credit
was not questioned at that store, and
he knew it would not be. There is
no doubt but that when the end of
the week or the month arrived, that
man remembered the bill and paid
it from the first fruits of his labor.
Yet there are plenty of men worth
many times what this humble labor
|er is, who cannot get credit at that
store. With their property in a wife's
name, they have no regard for their
credit and count it a gain to be able
to beat a store keeper out of a bill.
The comparison is one which is
not rare, and people of both classes
can be found in every community.
The man in overalls is much more of
a man in eveAy way than the one,
we'll dressed l.fhaps, who neglects
to keep his word with the business
world and is secretly if not openly
despised by it. The one is contented1
and getting much more of real hap
piness out of life than the other, for
the comparison can be carried into
the nome. and every place where the
two men go.
1t is safe to say that the man who
is shifty in his dealings cannot com
mand the confidence of wen his fam
lily. His friends also must find him
out sooner or later, and cannot have
the respect and liking for him that
is felt for the poor man who guards
his credit and keeps his word.
Sometimes the workman falls sick
or meets with an accident or loses
his position, and is unable to keep
his word with the merchant, but the
merchant would rather take the risk
of all that than to undertake to eel
llect from the man who will not ra.
until he is forced to, or nagged Ito
settling by the repeated visits OF al
collector.
The story is as old as civilization
and the moral it points has been ga
phasized by writer's and speakers
time without number. but it is good
enough to repeat yer and over again.
Each younger generation should have
it pointed out to them and should
ponder it we'll.
Young man take care of your
credit. Keep your faith with your fell
low man, for that way lies true con-
tentment and happiness.

on them by congress at the Decem-

Two Men Fight
in Police Court
Ole Jackson and J. L. Gaines, Col
ored, Mix 1t in Presence Of
Judge.

Two colored men Of the Third
ward had a fight in the clerks office of
police court during the court session
Thursday morning. and ole Jackson of l19
Davenport street, was arrested. tried for
assault and battery, found guilty and
fined SIS and costs, all within five min
ute. James l.. Gaines, proprietor of a
colored mems club at 9S South Thirteenth
street. and reputed to be one Of the wealth
lest colored men in Omaha. was the other
party to the case.
The furnishing of a bond for the release
of A. e. Harris, a Rome hotel waiter, who
was arrested in connection with a stab
bling Wednesday night. was the origin Of
the trouble. Both Gaines and Jackson
often provide bond money or sign bail
bonds for members of their own race who
get into Jail.
Police court was in session at the time,
but the court room was speedily emptied
when the spectators heard Mrs. Gaines
scream when her husband was knocked
down.
While furnishing a bond, this time for
his own release, Jackson was stopped and
taken into court. where he was fined. He
told Judge Crawford he had nothing TO
say. as ut wouldn't do any good and he
hadn't been given a chance to prepare for
the trial. Gaines and the court clerk
testified as 20 the assault. Jackson gave
notice that he would appeal the case.

FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR PIANO PURCHASE
Schneider Il Mueller Piano Co. Close
the Largest single Contract for
Pianos Ever Placed by a
Western House.

This enterprising firm has clearly dem
onstrated its faith in the return of pros
perity when It closed during the last week
what is said to be the largest single order
for pianos ever placed at one time by any
piano house in the west. Recently Mr..
William II. Schneider, president of the
company. made a tour through the east,
the prime object OF which was to secure a
supply of pianos for the Omaha store and
for the four branch stores of this COM
pany located at Council Bluffs, Lincoln,
South Omaha and Sioux City. Owing to
the fact that manufacturing circles in the
east have not as vet fully recovered from
the panic of 1907, It was soon evident that
this order could be placed and the i'm
mense stock Of pianos secured at much
lower prices than has heretofore been pos
slble. As a matter Of fact, when II be-
came known that this was to be a strictly
spot cash deal. various manufacturer
clamoured for the privilege Of landing the
contract. II was finally decided TO entrust
the filling Of the order to the manufac-
turer best equipped for turning out the
pianos and delivering them with the least
possible delay. II was also a fortunate
coincidence that the lowest prices were Of
fered by the largest plano manufactures
In the United States, which prices were
accepted by the Schneider & Mueller
Piano company, with the understanding
that delivery was 10 commence imme-
diately and to be continued until the en-
tire order had been filled. Several cars
were Immediately loaded and shipped TO
Omaha, which arrived Saturday last
Another shipment is in transit and others
will follow. Such evidence Of confidence
In existing conditions and in the stahIety
and the prosperity Of this city and of the
west will surely be rewarded when piano
buyers are fully informed of the details
surrounding tots purchase. The columns
OF this paper are being used extensively
in featuring the terms and prices placed
on these pianos at the present time.

where are the new street fiushers?

Where are the new street flushers?
That is what $4,000 people of Omaha
wanted to know Thursday when dust blew
not only in the bad mans eye" but in
the eyes of the just and unjust alike.
with a lot Of the new street
flushers were brought out when they ar
rived a few weeks ago and shown to the
people. The street department even al
lowed them to perform once. Then they
were taken back to the barns and business
men who have been watching for some
time to see them again. say they have not
been out.
Letters Of inquiry about the flushers have
been prepared by the municipal affairs
committee of the Commercial club, which
committee was so proud of the new flush
ers when they arrived that David Cole, the
chairman, bought a new spring suit and hat
Of delicate fabric, thinking he could wear
the outfit on the streets In the future. But
Thursday he appeared in Fish" brand
slicker.
Members of the Commercial club suggest
that street sprlnkling be discontinued when
the mayor appoints his new street COM
missioner. They believe that with the new
flushers sprlnkling should not be neces-
sary. Many of the business men are of the
opinion that sprinkling is a lazy way of
keeping dust from blowing, just as bad as
a housekeeper sweeping dirt under the
piano to keep it from showing. .
