Can Negro Porter
Act as Flagman
(From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. Jan. 7.-(speclal Telegram.)-
Is the use of the colored porter as flag
man on passenger trains a compliance with
the law which provides Of just what a
train crew shall consist?
This question, together with the one OF
the constitutionality Of the law, is raised
in a mandamus suit filed by Attorney Gen
eral Thompson In the district court OF
Lancaster county today against the Rock
Island railroad. The petition asserts the
road has not been equipping it's trains With
the five members OF the crew required by
law, but has been requiring the negro por-
ter to do the flagman's stunt at the rear
OF the train. Attorney General Thompson
holds this is not a compliance with the law.
The road is expected to attack the con-
stitutionality OF the act.

tFrom a Sod Correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Jan. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Guard Foltz has been divorced from the
pay roll at the insane asylum at Lincoln.

rough that the insane patient began to
take on the appearance of a punching bag,
So Mr.. Woodland called in Foitz and sug-
gested that he had better quit the job
and he did.
Some time ago complaint was made, TO
Mr.. Woodland, that Foltz had mistreated
a patient, but nothing vas done and later
the complaint was carried to the governor
with the same result.
The employees of the asylum are dill
gently searching for an escaped patient,
who they fear may lose his life by expos
ure, unless apprehended soon.

STORE-TALK

This store is the equal Of any, and the superior
Of most clothing stores Of the middle west in point
Of elegance and convenience. 1t is founded on, AMI
supported by confidence, yours and ours. We had
confidence in our opinion that Omaha was ready for
a store where deception found no place. We now
point 20 our "saes" record as demonstrating the
soundness Of our reasoning. Our last offering was
in July, a bona fide half price sale. Almost weekly
si1.re then some store has RECALLED you with stories
o. special purchases"-"surplus stocks"-and kim
dred excuses for sales, expecting you TO swallow the
same bait that has been used for twenty years or
more. The fact that this store has been able to do,
in sixteen months, the largest mems and boys cloth
ing business ever transacted by a store in this
vicinity. in face of such methods, shows that we
enjoy the confidence of a mighty majority, who be-
lieved us when we announced IN the beginning that
we would never offer as special anything that
was not special. our ways are winning ways. We
thank you, and invite you now to another really
truly sale.
Omaha daily bee., 1910-01-08
Some of the advantages you have
at our sale:

You take no chances here Of not getting good clothes. They are all
good and cost at wholesale more than you are asked to pay for them
The less expensive ones cost less than the better ones-which is emf
nenNy fair to ALL
The old trick of marking an exorbitant and imaginary 'for-
mr price, on the garments and then reducing the price to one
half the represented value-finds no place in our store service.
Half price here means exactly one-half of our regular all season
selling price.
The practice of allowing favored customers and friends to select
the choicer garments several days in advance is not tolerated here. The
person with no personal friends in this store is equal before our bar
gain tables with the most influential citizen of the land-it is only a
matter of getting here early Saturday morning.
You choose from all new goods made for Fall and Winter
1909-10. You are in no danger of selecting a garment over four
months old. Those who remember our sale of last year know why
this store (and only this STOREY was able to open last Falls Season
with all new Clothes.
You act as your own salesman during this sale. The prices will speak
elouuently without assistance from us.
Every garment on our big first floor has it's original ticket upon
which appears the original price that has prevailed all season and will
continue to prevail until 7:30 Saturday morning. You simply select the
garment and pay us onehaf. Our statesmen will assist you in every
possible way, but they have positive instructions to not urge you to buy.

A FIVE MILL ROAD TAX LEVY
RepresentiYe Of Humbird Lumber Co.
Argues Matters Before Board

At the meeting of the county
commissioners last week the levy
of FIVE mills on each dollars worth
Of taxable property outside of the
corporate limits of towns and cities
was made by the commissioners
for special read tax to be used
for that purposed.
Before the levy was made I. j.
Humbird of the Humbird Lumber
company was present when he pre-
sented an argument to the board
against the movement. Mr.. Hum
bird argued against the levy bieng
made, claiming that the taxes at
present are high, the additional
levy would only tend to make
them still higher.
"The first question prospective
settler will ask" stated Mr.. Hum
bird is, "0hat is the tax levy?"
When you tell him he will turn
to other localities. Now il you
make the additional levy of five
mills to the rural property you
will simply be putting the amount
that much higher. If you could
make a general road fund and put
the entire levy into it then you
could do your road work by con-
tract which would be an improve
ment over the present system"
Members of the board argued
that at present there were few
wagon roads throughout the county
and for that reason the county was
handicapped from a standpoint OF
settling it up and in case the FIVE
mill levy would be made general
the improvement OF roads could be
made general IS we'll and thereby
offer inducements which otherwise
could not be done. At the con
clusion the commissioners made
the levy stated Standpoint News

AT the meeting OF county COM
missioners Monday, the local option
petition was rejected. The vote
stood one in favor and two against
the election. County Commissioner
Martin Peterson voted in support
of the petition, while Chairman T.
G. Bell of Bronx, and Commissioner
]. G. Finstad of Priest River were
against it.
The board met promptly Monday
morning at 10 o'clock and after the
reading of the minutes of the pre-
ceeding session by the clerk, Chair
man Bell stated that the matter of
considering the petition was next
in order.
Chairman Bell asked for an ex-
preston from the other two men,
bers Of the board. Martin Peterson
stated that he was in favor of fixing
the date for the election, he being
Of the opinion that the law had
been carried out by the petitioners
He stated that he believed that
while sons of the signatures to the
long list had been placed on the
petition somewhat in variance from
the intended manner. that it was
the intention of the ones signing
the list to ask for an election.
Commissioner J. G. Finsrad next
asserted that he was opposed to the
calling of an election inasmuch as
there was a question as to the legal
ity OF the petition and that it
might result in the case being car
ried to higher tribunal where it
would be found that the action OF
the board was not what the law re
quired. He argued that such action
would be expensive to the county
and for that reason he deemed it
inadvisable to call an election and
accordingly voted against it.
Chairman Bell placed the stamp
rejected" upon the petition at
which time he announced his vote
as being opposed to the petition.
On Wednesday of the preceding
week when the petition was first
taken up by the board the room
was soon filled by interested people
of both sides Of the question. The
"dry" trusted to G. II. Martin and
Myrvin Davis to look after their
interests, while the "wets" pro-
cured the sci vices of Robert Me-
Farland of Occur d'Alene to pre-
sent their side Of the case.
Attorney Mcfarland for the
"wets" filed written protest, signed
by Frank J. Mcbride, against any
action being taken regarding th,
calling of special election.
At this time Attorney G. H.
Martin stated that he had not hao
an opportunity TO look the protes,
over and he desired a postpone
ment of any action until
a later date. At that the board
agreed to listen to the arguments
at 2 o'clock that afternoon.
At the appointed hour Attorney
Mcfarland opened the argument
He stated that the whole petition
was illegal inasmuch as the aft

come to make their homes in the
western states since 1909 began than
in any previous year, and the entire
western section of the United States
has been more widely exploited be-
fore the world than has ever been
possible before.
Great steps forward have been
made in opening up new areas, in
bringing under cultivation wide
stretches, in building up commerce,
in advancing the great industries,
in sprinkling water upon the arid
plains, in manufacturing, in build
lug, in important municipal works
in fact there is not a branch of
activity in all the western states
that does not owe debt to 1909.
This advancement is all the more
important-in that it is most strik-
ingly illustrated in the big, impor-
tant works that stand for future
years, and grow to be more useful
constantly in the larger develop
ment of this western land. Rail-
way building, great irrigation works,
broader commerce upon land and
sea, larger methods of placing the
acknowledgements OF the West before
all the world-these accomplish
ments spell still wider and more
intense development for the future.
EXPEDITION
In the Alaska Yucon- Pacific Ex-
position, at Seattle, the West has
had its greatest advertisement.
From the first it was a business
enterprise designed to call atten-
ton to the advancement and the
opportunities of the Pacific Coast,
to the past and future development
of Alaska with it's inexhaustible
store of gold, to the Orient with its
millions of people awakening into
new life, and to the Pacific as the
coming greatest highway of the
worlds commerce. And in bring-
ing to the Pacific Coast at least a
quarter of a million people, the
Exposition was success, even
beyond the hope of its makers.
RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT.
Next to big projects OF exploita-
lion, the emmense railway building
in the west has served more than
any other cause to draw attention
to the states that border the pacific
along with their close neigh bors.
Washington leads all the other
states in railway building in the
last two years, while the extern
sions of big traL sentimental sys.
TENS are giving all the western
states a network OF rails that in
dicates how large capital is open
ing hitherto untouched spots, and
seeking investment that will yield
rich returns with the development
that is Immediately in sight.
Although it was accomplished
without blast of trumpets, the com
pletion of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul systems 1900 mile tx
tension to the Pacific Coast was
