III ARE EVEN

NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-The post-sea-
som series of baseball games this year
are, attracting unusual attention owing
TO the fact that the contenders in each
series finished In the same relative
petition In their respective leagues.
Ihis fact, It is argued, should give o
gpod line on the relative strength CT
thef National and American leagues.
fNeither Of the New York teams can
np1 be ousted fror second place, and
Qefeland and Cincinnati, which are
ito play for the Ohio championship, are
both safely anchored In fifth place.
This Is the first time that such con-
dttion has prevailed In the inter
league series.

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Jan. 9~0.-(Special.)

losses on the burned court house. The
companies represented are: The Phoenix,
Hartford. London, Liverpool and Globe.
German-American, Home, Springfield,
North American and Fire Association Of
Philadelphia. The insurance will probably
figure between $4,000 and $4,000. with the
exception of the register of deeds, the

placed over them until a temporary gem
sral vault can be constructed. Register Of
Deeds Porter says he will ekep his vault
closed until tina time.
The new offices in the Masonic Temple
are rapidly nearing completion and will be
occupied some time this week.
Since the excitement of the fire has died
down all kinds of theories are now being
advanced as to Its origin. some think that
a pet squirrel carried matches between the
walls and ignited them; others that a cigar
or match was carelessly thrown into some
waste In the south end of the building,
while one, or two county officials and a
number Of outsiders are working around
to the opinion that It might have been
done on purpose Revenge. on the part Of
some old prisoner, may ave been the cause,
but the general belief is that II the fire
was OF incendiary origin the culprit resides
somewhere in the county. Sheriff Kennedy
has been compelled to take the county pris-
oners to Grand Island for safe-keeping, as
the city has no Jail of it's own.

UNCLE JOE REDMAN GIVES ALARM

UNCLE JOE REDMAN GIVES ALARM

W must hold back M river" sang
out Uncle Joe Redman, the ancient skipper
OF Carter lake, as he sailed into the office
of the city engineer. Uncle Joe was at the
city hall bright and early Wednesday
morning, rounding up a rescue party.
When the spirit moves this first arrival
among the Omaha old settlers can step
around as agile as the youngest man in the
north ward. 1t did not take him long to
corral Assistant City Engineer Camper
and Councilmen Sheldon and Brucker. He
also wanted Councilman Davis, but since
the society editors announced his engage
ment and coming marriage Davis uses
only airships. Vehicles that travel or the
earth do not look good to him.
Having got his rescue party onto the
fourth floor of the city ball, but slightly
scattered, Uncle Joe did not quit until he
had them all safely gathered into the ele-
vator, shot downstairs and piled into a
wagon. Then he had the driver head for
Florence lake. at the point where. the
~treacherous old river is burrowing through
the banks, quietly like a rat, but dan
gerously like its wont is.
From long experience Skipper Redman
knows that 1t is necessary to get up early
in the morning to defeat the tendency OF
the raging Missouri to fudge on the prop
erty along its banks. IF it is beginning
to break through at that one spot thus
early in the season." says Uncle Joe, I'VE
will see widespread destruction a little
later on"
May Destroy Carter lake.
After an inspection OF the spot where the
Missouri river is threatening to make a
break through the bank OF Florence lake,
the city engineers office is fearful that the
final outcome may be the practical de-
struction OF Carter lake. Councilman
Brucker, who was one of the Investigating
party on behalf OF the city. believes the
only solution, to save Carter and Florence
lakes, is for the government to change
the course of the river, from a point above
the pumping station at Florence.
TT is a matter particularly for the con-
sheraton of the Park board, the Illinois
Central railway, the county and the gov
eminent as l view it," said Mr.. Brucker.
THE Water COMPANY has, 1 understand.
already made preparations to meet this very
possible emergency by getting ready to ex-
tend a pipe from the present intake to
where the new channel OF the river is
likely to be after the expected raise in the
spring. If the thing evantuates according
to the way II looks now the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad bridge may be left high and
dry, as well as the Florence pumping sta
ton. 1t appears to me the only real sal
walton for Carter lake and the territory
Immediately surrounding is for the gov
eminent to take steps TO change the chan
mel Of the river. otherwise we are bound.
to see a break that will change the face
Of the country out In that section. 1t is
