The NIIIItary Mustnehe.

1t is contrary to the British army regu-
lations for an officer to shave his upper
lip; and from time to time the War office
has issued general orders expressing its
disapprovat OF the growing disregard Of
the regulations. Furthermore, the king has
interested himself in this matter, and it
Is said that he contemplates some action
that viii compel the officers to return to
the old custom.
The mustache has long been regarded as
a military badge. Only one regiment in
the Austro-Hungarian cavalry may go
smooth-faeed, and this is because during
the seven years war recruits were 80
scarce that this regiment once had to go
into battle when there wero nothing but
beardless boys in its ranks. 1t behaved
with such gallantry however. that Its
members remain beardless TO this day
The decline OF the mustncho in military
England is charged by come 10 Anglo
American alliances, Tho American girl is
said to prefer tho male face smooth, -
and. as the average Briton has a weakness
for American girls, the result is a com
bination that produces new fashions and
outlaws old customs.-Harper's Weekly.

ACCIDENT IN A SEWER
MAKES CRAIG INQUiSITIVE
City Engineer Wishes to Discover
why Explosion Took Place in
Spite of Precautions.

City Engineer Craig is having a careful
investigation made of an accident by which
a plumbers laborer was injured in a sewer
on lower Farnam street Friday afternoon.
The man took lighted candle into the
ditch with him and an explosion followed
which injured him painfully but not seri-
ously.
This is the only large city in the coun-
try that know of when has ventilated
sewers" said Mr.. Craig. 1.-THE late An
drew Rosewater established the system in
Omaha insisting on vents in every con-
nected building and on open manholes, so
that 1t would be impossible for sewer gas
to accumulate.
I'm the present instance, which is the
first OF its kind have heard of in Omaha,
we are convinced that the workman must
have run into a pocket of gas from gaso-
line or similar fluid. The laundries and
other establishments use a good deal OF
gasoline in their business, and we believe 1t
was this stuff in a leaky sewer pipe prob
ably, that exploded and injured the man
SO far as anybody can figure it out. there
is no possibility of an accumulation OF
sewer gas in the streets of Omaha Being
convinced of this we are having a careful
investigation made to ascertain the cause
of the accident"

1902 and imprisoned for three days in the
Omaha city jail on information sworn out

prsonment that the suit has Just bee j.,

The use OF the so-called third degree"
in the examination of suspected criminals
as a subject of 'maudlin jury appeals" by
lawyers was a matter of general discussion
among the chiefs of police in attendance
at the international convention at Blrmng-
ham, Ala, which particularly interested
Chief Donahue. He and Mrs. Donahue re-
turned Saturday morning from trip to
the south, which included the Birmingham
convention and a stay at Excelsior Springs
1T was generally agreed that efforts
should be made to discourage this cheap
trick of lawyers" said the chief. las a
matter of fact, and as was brought out at
the convention, there is no such thing as
the third degree" but still the lawyers
make capital of 1t. There was a case In
point here few years past, when an in
cendiary confessed when / personally
questioned him and then swore on the
witness stand that we beat him.
Il was struck, too, by the fact that
Omaha is probably the only city of the size
in the country which has no workhouse
We certainly need one The present system
of feeding hoboes in luxurious ease while
they read magazins and tracts in jail is no
encouragement to that class of offenders"
Chief and Mrs Donahue spent a week
at Excelsior Springs They found scores of
Omaha people there at the inland resort.

Nebraska Alfalfa
Shows Big on Test
Has a Protein Content of 25.3 Per
Cent-More Than Beef
steak.

Boosters for the virtues of Nebraska al
falfa can get some excellent backing from
Professor Charles Crowley, the city chemist
OF Omaha.
Professor Crowley, talking of water and
ice tests and similar analyses made by him.
said he was never more surprised than
when an analysis of alfalfa for the Peters
company gave protein content of
25.3. He at first thought his media
or solutions might be wrong, but
three weeks of careful preparation and
study convinced him these were all right.
And then, to indorse his finding, came a
report from a Chicago laboratory report
ing almost exactly the same protein con-
tent as was found in the Omaha test.
Alfalfa had always been given credit
for about 10 to IL per cent of protein con-
tent, and as beefsteak has protein con-
tent of only about IS it will be realized
that Nebraska alfalfa will make good on
almost any boast made for it.

What this country needs is a connection

Peter V. Dirks, president of seven banks

Mr., Dirks met the party at Oacoma and
accompanied them to Presho. He Is en-

Of Lyman county may have the benefits

boats now run from Oacoma to Iona, an
inland town twenty miles below. This Is
considered the beginning OF navigation on
the river in South Dakota and as the party
pulled across the long pontoon bridge, two
boats loaded with agricultural implements
were pulling out into the river for Iona.

coo bushels Of wheat $4,000 bushels Of

years. Such is the country asking the
lower river cities to open the Missouri
river and give them cheaper as well as
more convenient transportation facilities.
Railroad rates are now high and must
be for years, when water transportation
would cut them in half and give Omaha
absolute control of the trade. Here are
