A LIVELY FRAcAs.
Four Young Men, crazed by Whisky
Great a Riot.

S1Sas q ttIOts
Warrants were issued at Bismarcl
for the arrest Of Jacob and Gena
Smith, William Falconer and Horace
Eldridge on the charge of rioting a,
William Juhl's house at an auction
sale. Deputy Sheriff Barnes served
the warrants, but did not bring them
in as they agreed to report to him
Friday morning.
The rioting occurred in Emmon.
county, two miles south of the Bur
leigh county line, and no doubt the
action will be dismissed.
1t appears that the four men ar
rested crossed the river and filed NJ
on Morton county whisky at a blind
pig that operates about twenty miles
south of Mandaa. They then went
to the auction sale at William .Tuhl',
place and started a row. Cow bell,
whiftletrees, neckyokes and clubs vera
freely used. 1t was a regular Donnw

The four booze-crazed young fel

ness interests, but to the farmer az
we'll. The farmer has been slow to
recognize this fact up to within q
comparatively short time. But it Is
becoming apparent to him that it is
not an expense, as he has hitherto
believed, but a saving. perhaps of a
life in illness, perhaps Of help, when
food or fire comes or something else.
The great benefits Of a telephone to
the farming community may DO placed
under three headings, each heading
IN Itself covering numberless other
reasons, namely:
Q) 1t is one of the greatest time
savers ever invented
(2) Modern business methods
would become antique without it's use.
(3) 1t enlivens social intercourse
and makes neighbors of and cements
friendship between families living
miles apart.
A farmer with a phone does not
have to go to the nearest market to
find the price of various agricultural
products. Neither is it necessary for
him to blindly send his products to
market only to find prices at a low
level. Reasons too numerous to men.

A %stricter enforcement of the rule at the
depots prohibiting boys below the age Of
l6 from staying around the station plat
forms unless accompanied by older per-
sons will be attempted by the depot en-
ployes.
. During the last two or three weeks the
station masters at both the Union and
Burlington stations have been greatly an
noyed by boys who insist on lounging
around the trains. particularly at the Bur-

Some of the boys, are so bold they will
not obey the station masters, and insist
on staying on the platforms. The other
day a boy. about "A years of age. was or
dered away from the Burlington platform,
but he refused to go and stayed until he
got ready to take his departure of his own
free will.
In order TO handle such recalcitrants it is
probable the Burlington officials will ask

OMAHA. June A-To the Editor Of The
Bee: have been requested by friends 20
write you something about the coffee clubs
so successfully introduced and run In
mary cities on the western coast. The
first coffee club was established BY Ernest
Fox after he had made a study Of the
eating houses Of Europe. 1t was born In
san Jose some years since and at once
sprang into popularity. until now there Is
scarcely a city on the coast that does not
contain one or more Of these houses Of
refreshment. They are dual in character
supplying rest and refreshment-are en-
tirely s~elf-supporting and give the most
and best for the money. with the element
OF gain entirely eliminated.
Always located in the heart of the bust
ness section so as to be accessible to the
greatest number, they usually have two
entrances, one for men alone and the other
for women or gentlemen accompanied b.
women. The front part Of the loom is
devoted to comfortable chairs, a library
and periodicals, where one may rest and
read. Bey ond these are neat tables, where
coffee, tea, chocolate or milk is served.
Here one can get a cup OF coffee, choco-
late, a pot Of tea or a glass Of milk with
a sandwich. a couple of snails, doughnuts,
buns or bread and butter, all for 5 cents
For a small additional cost fruits, ice
cream, pies, baked beans or salads are
added.
Here the shop girl or school children
may bring their lunch and have 1t rein.

drink at a nominal cost. Here, too tht

Already Kansas
Calls for Men
Big Wheat Harvest is About 70 Be-
gin and Labor Problem
Bobs Up.

A scarcity OF men for harvesting the
crop again threatens Kansas, ac-
to the statement OF w. E. Stevens,
claim agent for the Missouri
Pacific.
In Kansas they have started the hsrv.
est Of their wheat" said Mr.. Stevens. but
find they cannot get enough men to handle
the big crop. Kansas has trouble nearly
every year getting hands for the wheat
fields, and this year, with a bigger crop
than last season. the farmers are direly
perplexed as how TO get men.
Some OF the farmers in eastern Kansas
are thinking OF making an appeal to the
railroads to get them to bring in harvest
hands from other states. This has been
done in past years. and seems to be the
only solution to the problem now.
Il found both the corn and wheat In
fine condition in eastern Kansas, but a
little less better off in the westrn part of
the state. where. there has not been so
much rain.
The wheat crop in the Jayhawker state
will be larger than last season, but not
as large as It has been in some years be-
