Mother Leaves Her
Babe on Train, Which
Leaves Without Her
Special Then Turns the Wheels to
Catch the Train Speeding with
Baby to the West.

Mrs. Harlan @. HOLSTER Of Almira- n.
r., left her S-month-old baby on the seat
Of Union Pacific tourist car while she
went into the station at Omaha to get
something to eat. When she came out the
train had gone with the baby.
Excitement turned the station into
turmoil in less than five minutes. and hot
kilograms were sent out all along the line
to catch the train. In the meantime the
distracted mother was imagining all manner
OF things in Omaha
Finally the Union Pacific officials To-
Gated the car with the baby on its Denver
train speeding on its way to Grand Island,
$50 miles away. Another telegram held
one train In Grand Island a full hour
while the special tourist train which
started from Omaha at 8 p. m. turned on
full steam and did its best to make up
the hour being lost BY the Denver train.
The Union Pacific refused 20 deposit the
child at any station along the line for
fear IL would become lost again and so
held one OF its time-record trains sixty
minutes to restore the baby to it's mother.
The accident happened very simply.
Mrs. HOLSTER and her family had been on
the Denver section OF the train and had
gone into one OF the cars bound for Port
land just before reaching Omaha. The
brakeman, coming into the Portland car,
called out that the train left at D. m,
and the HOLSTERS. taking their baby back
into the Denver car to their own seat,
went out for supper. In the meantime, at
p M, the Denver train left for the west
carrying the baby.

BIDS FOR HAULING GARBAGE
Health Commissioner Will Ask City
to Advertise Next Week.
SAYS HE HAS NO FUNDS FOR IT
system Used Last Year May have to
BE Continued for the Next Three
Years since the Charter
HiiI Failed.

Health Commissioner Cornell win ask
the city TO advertise for bids for the re-
moval and disposal Of garbage next week.
The contract for last year expired a month
ago. Since then no provision has been
made for the removal Of refuse and rub
bish
New arrangements for the garbage prop
osition we're held up pending the fate Of
the charter bill. Since the bill has been
vetoed, the city will have TO make con-
tracts along the same line as maintained
last year, SAYS Mr.. Connell. which means
that the garbage viii have to be removed
at the cost of the residents Of the city.
I'VE have no funds for the removal and
disposal Of garbage" says the health com
missioner consequently we will have TO
do the best we can without funds.
THE only solution Of the problem is 70
handle our garbage in the same manner as
last year. The city will be divided into
eight districts and contractors will be asked
to bid for the removal of the refuse. Cit
Gems will be required to provide themselves
with garbage cans and the collector will
make the rounds once OF twice week, &C
cording to the demands
Last Years Contracts.
Last year contracts were made on the
basis Of Is cents for cans that hold twenty
gallons or less, 20 cents for twenty to
thirty-gallon cans, 30 cents for thirty 70
fifty gallon cans and &125 per cubic yard
have little doubt that these prices car
be duplicated this year.
/ THE system, however. is unsatisfactory
| The great trouble Is that many times. wher
the collector makes his rounds. the owners
/ will not have the cans emptied, as they are
not full. 1t costs as much to have a car
partially filled emptied as it does full
can. Then before the collector gets around
again. the can will have become filled ant
the owner will dump the garbage on g
vacant lot in the neighborhood. The result
! is an unsanitary condition.

TO install a garbage system in Omaha, but

To the Honorable Mayor and Board Of
Alderman of Macon.

In compliance with request Of the
Civic League | address your honorable
body and through you our people at
large on the wisdom, not TO say neces-
sity. of having sewerage system for
our town. Surely we need II.
We have fine site for a town, for
town for nature has made it SO that
surface drainage and sewerage sys.
TEN, if properly laid. follow natural
slopes. and sewerage can be laid at
minimum cost, and when that Is done
we will suffer the minimum amount Of
disease. What disease we will then
have so far as effected by sanitation
will be mild and comfortable.
The effort of the Civic League to es-
tablish sewerage system in Macon
meets my cordial appreciation both as a
citizen ard health officer of the county.
l earnestly urge upon the voters of
the town the wisdom and advisabillty
of supporting the good work of the
League in seeking to establish sewerage
here.
The ladies composing the League
have done much already for the beauty
and cleanliness of the town. They are
full of energy and public spirit, and
with all my heart | say God bless them
and prosper them in all Their good work.

The Point of the Story.

A mother was greatly worried bJ Ter small daughters habit of running away. Thinking to impress the child with the danger of getting lost, she told her a vivid story of some chill dren who ran away to go nutting. Night found them far from home and lost in the woods. With much art the mother told of storm in the night and of the terrible distress of the parents and friends who hunted for the children until morning. She also told about the good breakfast prepared for the children, which they missed because they did not reach home till 10 o'clock.
 The little girl listened intently to every word, and the mother hoped that the story was making an impres. sion. When she finished the child was silent for few moments, as if expecting something more. Then she asked, eagerly: Did they get any s?"-Metropolitan Magazine.

The kings reception at Buckingham palace recently of the team of polo players who are to represent England in the United States, recalls the fact that his majesty played regularly when he was a naval lieutenant. He was a good player, too, and could hold his own with some of the best repre- sentatives of the two services. Almost every form of manly exercise has been practiced by his majesty, and there is not the slightest doubt that every kind of sport will benefit enormously during his reign.
 Shooting, of course, holds the warm est place in his majesty's affections sT love a gun" he confessed recently sbut I am almost as happy when am fishing the pools of Dee with long day before me-"
 Next to shooting and fishing, King Georges warmest admiration Is re- served for the Rugby code of football. Not long ago he expressed the opinion that Rugby was the ideal game for all ranks of the army and navy, as 1t kept the men "ht," taught them to realize the virtues of self-discipline, and to withstand hard knocks.
 Then, again, his majesty Is capi tai swimmer, and has actually saved life from drowning. This interesting event took place when, as youth, he went around the world with his broth CT in the Bacchante A bluejacket fell overheard and King George went in after him and held him up until as sistance arrived.
 In the 'boom" period of cycling, his majesty was often seen a-wheel; while cricket, of course, he has constantly played and continues to follow with the interest of a keen observer.
