''On my "trip to Washington ! found the
common speech Of the people on the trains
and in the hotels to be that President Taft
had succeeded remarkably well in securing
from congress the enactment of so many Of
the progressive measures which he had ad-
vocated, Quite a general satisfaction
seemed to prevail over the results accom-
plished by the president and congress along
these lines. While not all. yet most all,
and the most important of the national
platform pledges Of the republican party
had been enacted into laws.
President Taft seems to enjoy the dis
tinction of being one who brings things to

concerning their qualification for the posi-

legged theft.
He learned that one clerk had been absent
from the office Saturday afternoon, but
upon investigation, found that the man
had been absent through a legitimate ar
rangement with his fellow clerks.
Inspector Eddy announced finally that
the purpose Of his trip to Omaha, was pri-
marily to inspect the condition here re-
lating to express business and to examine
the fitness OF the employees. 1t was his
regular business, he said, and had no con-
nection with the theft. However he ex-
planned, he intended to give searching at
tention to that matter.
During the questioning of one clerk, the
latter was found to be rather vague con-
corning the events of Friday and Saturday,
but otherwise there was nothing learned
leading to clue. -t. ,.. ,t...

NAY USE CREOSOTED BLOCK
Move is On for Repaving Of Sixteenth
Street Strip.
PETITION is SIGNED FOR IT


South Sixteenth street, from Farnam to
the viaduct may yet be paved with creo-
soted block during the present season.
AS City Engineer Craig announced to the
council when trying to have the creosote
block laid on the south side OF jefferson
park, from Fifteenth TO sixteenth streets,
petition has been signed by 30 per cent or
better OF the property owners In the dis
triot This petition has been in the hands
OF the city legal department Assistant
City Attorney Rine, BEFORE leaving for his
vacation, had gone over 1t pretty thor
oughly. He found three minor defects to be
corrected, which is now being done
The perfected petition will go TO the city
council next Tuesday evening and then the
ordinance will follow shortly, creating the
district and ordering that bids be adver-
tised for.
When council passes the ordinance Great
ing the district, the work OF getting ready
can be pushed rapidly" said City Engineer
Craig. There is no question but that the
paving can be done this season, and am
anxious to see 1t done, not only to give the
creosoted block a fair trial in Omaha, but
also because, with that stretch of main
street repaved, we will have the business
section of the city In excellent Icondlton,
from the depots clear up 10 Twenty-fourth
Dodge street is now completed, and
Thirteenth is almost finished, together with
about all of the other down streets which
were ordered repaved this year, except
Harvey and Howard. As brick is now be-
ginning to come again in fair quantities,
1t is only a matter of a few weeks until all
streets now opened will be repaved and in
shape for use. All citizens will rejoice
with this department when this result is
reached, and Omaha will look even better
than ever before"

oogservation of the youth of our state, our

our most valuable asset. l only wish that

their education in the agricultural school
and there learn Of the mysteries of the

tracing them by their glamor, and thrlv-

is a great demand for the farm boy to
carry on the business of the city, and if we
supply the demand, we, ourselves, are the
