preston About This City.

The impression prevails that May
or Thompson, who perhaps will be
absent from the city for almost two
weeks, on a tour which will include
Nashville. Tenn, Hopkinsville and
other points, has gone to investigate
particular phases of sewer systems
to be found in those cities, with a
view to advising the proper authori-
ties to adept similar methods in the
abatement of the Canoe creek ditch.
Practically the entire sewer sys-
TEN of Hopkinsville, which city has
a population of about 5000, empties
into a large creek; large portion of
the city of Louisville is SAID to be
following much the same plan, and
has been doing so for many years,
without serious trouble. Mayor
Thompson, it is thought, will thor
oughly inspect these systems, and
report the result of his investigation.
Henderson Journal.
Should Mayor Thompson visit this
city he viii he afforded an opport0
nifty to extend his store of informa-
ton about Hopkinsville. He will
find city Of much more than 5000
and will find AN up-to-date sanitary
sewerage system. using a series of
septic tanks, and will find an or6i
nance strictlyprohibiting any flow of
sewage into little River. He will
also incidentally find out that Hop
kinsville is e better town than
Henderson in many respects.

the recent prize-fght between john

This convention will be one of the
greatest political rallies in New York

will indorse the Taft administration and

How Big is Omaha? Tip for
Downward Revision of Figures

Although the official answer to the ques-
tion will not come yet for weeks. and pos
sibly for two or three months. interest in
the subject has not tagged. The knowing
ones, however, insist that most people win
have 70 revise their estimates and cut them
down materially because Omaha and most
cities near Omaha's class, are going to
show shrinkage from the claims they
had set up.
When The Bee invited its readers to try
their hand at advance census taking 1t
received about 5000 answers. a majority
OF which put in figures ranging from 140,-
900 to 10000 A few wild ones went up to
2Oe, ,OO0 while the average OF the high esti-
mates ran around $4,000. The lowest did
not venture below l21. 900 and II is strange
fact that the answers that came from out
OF town proved to be more conservative
than those submitted by people living right
here in Omaha.
The folks who have kept best posted as
the census work proceeded have been stead
ny pulling their estimates down.
II will be remembered that the Com
merclal club took preliminary census
through high school boys, but never gave

Guilty of murder in the second degree
was the verdict returned against John

force, by a jury in district court last night.
Five ballots were taken before agreement.
One juror stood out for acquittal through
the first four ballots and was won yer to
conviction with difficulty. One juror
stood for life Imprisonment, while the ma

The crime which the Greek is found
guilty Is punishable by imprisonment from
ten years to life.
Masourides sat unconscious of his fate
after the verdict was read. No interpreter
was in the court room to tell him.
1t might have mean death to him, but a
man on trial did not know. All that he
could realize was that a verdict had been
returned and he remembered what 1t had
meant the last time that he had seen jury
file in and a man stand at the Judges
side and read those strange unknown
words.

his client to an office and sought to ex-
plain to him. After a time understanding
seemed to reach the Greek.
