Hump Tells what.

With grunts OF approval. Hump replied:
he assured the mayor OF the dying town
that he and his people fully understood
why they had been invited to the feast.
1t was for the purpose OF attempting to
secure their trade and beat them out of
their money. as, had been done by other
Americans for centuries. He expressed the
opinion that this was the entering wedge
in an effort to take from them more OF
their land and that the whole scheme was
too thin to hold even air.
This was the last straw Before the
Fairbank cup OF sorrow had been full. but
now It was overlooking. To be publicly
Inundated by an untutored savage was a

stood around and watched the Indians take
their departure. an ugly, but well filled

Amusements

The Ingraham Stock company has
reached the final week ~ its engagement at
the Gayety and after next Saturday night
the company, as an organization, will be
no more. Both Miss Fischer and Mr. Pot
lard have shown most convincingly that
in the leading roles they were easily equal
to every emergency and demand. The
same might be said of every menu
Der of the company, which Is a remarkably
well balanced one. A pleasing feature of
the engagement has been the fact that only
plays either new to Omaha or plays that
had never received stock production in
Omaha were presented, and for the closing
week, which opens this afternoon, THE
Belle of Richmond" while not exactly new
to Omaha, 1t has been so many years since
it has been seen here that its presenta-
ton was considered a wise choice, especi-
ally so as there are SO many excellent
parts, thus affording each individual MEM
Der of the company to appear in role
peculiarly suited to his or her talents and
so leave in the mind Of the most generous
public only pleasant memories of their ia
vorites. Miss Fischer will be 'Nellie" and
Mr.. Pollard Gerald" and 1t is said that
not since their coming to Omaha have
these two excellent players been cast so
happily.
Aside from the matinee today there will
be a holiday matinee Tuesday (F'ourth of
JULY and the customary and exceedingly
popular shirtwaist matinees next Thurs
day and Saturday. The final and goodby
performance will be given Saturday even
ing when the usual tears, flowers and part
ing speeches will be much in evidence.
The seat sale for the week IL very brisk.
BY no means will the closing OF the IN
graham company next Saturday night place
the Gayety on the ''dark'' list of omaha's

on Saturday afternoon, July 9, promptly
at 1 O'Clock, the Gayety will resume It's
policy of the last three summers-that OF

AUTOMOBILE TAX
EFFECTIVE AUG. IS

Little Rock, June 29.-The law
passed b ythe last legislature placing
state tax on automobiles does not be-
come effective until the middle of Au-
gust, but eleven owners have already
paid the fee of SIS each, and many let
ters of inquiry are being received
daily by the Secretary of State, whose
duty it is to issue the licenses. 1t is
estimated that it will yield about
$4,000 year. The law provides that
the fees shall be paid to the secretary
of state, but no provision is made for
the disposal of the money by him.
Neither does the law provide for the
payment of expenses for supplies in
connection with the law, and Secre
tary Hodges says he will pay all such
expenses out of the revenue, and turn
the balance into the state treasury. A
record has been opened in the office
of the Secretary, and full supply of
tags and blanks has been provided,
both for owners and chauffeurs. The
application that must be signed by the
owner contains dozen questions that
must be answered. Each auto mu t
have five different number tags.

CENTRAL COLLEGE TO
INSTALL WATERWORKS
BUILDING TO BE COMPLETELY Y
REMODELLED DURING SUM-
MER MONTHS.

President John w. Conger, on be-
half of the board of trustees of Cen
tral College, today awarded the con-
tract for installing a complete water
works and sewerage system in the col
lege building, the work to begin at
once. A Conway firm, Drummer
Hardware Company, secured the con-
tract and will place their expert plum
ber, Mr.. E. H. Eddy, in charge of the
work. Four bath rooms, one private
bath room, lavatory and other ac-
cessories are called for in the contract.
When completed it will be one of the
most up-to-date systems and will be
absolutely sanitary in every respect.
The installation of the waterworks
and sewage system is but one Of the
big things that will be done at Central
during the summer, as the board ex-
poets to have considerable work done
on the interior and exterior of the
building.

DISTRICT
MEETS FAVOR
BOARD OF TRADE MEETS
MOVEMENT HAS MANY EN-
THUSIASTIC FRIENDS-COM-
MITTEE APPOINTED.

The movement to organize a general
sewer Improvement district in Con
way, which was inaugurated by the
city council Tuesday night, is gaining
strength very rapidly and was given
additional impetus at meeting of the
Board of Trade and citizens held in
the office of Mayor w. H. Duncan this
morning. Among those in attendance
were several of the principal property
2wners OF the city and practically all
3l them were apparently enthusiastic
in tehir approval of the proposition
Engineer Guy A. Watkins of Little
Rock, who is in charge of the installa-
tion of the Conway waterworks sys-
ten and has in: tailed several citv
sewer systems, was present and gave
an interesting talk on the advantages
OF sewerage. He said statistics prove
that the death rate is reduced one
thlTd OF more in every city where an
adequate sewerage system has been
installed. Assuming that Conway has
already the remarkably low annual
death rate of II per 1000, and that
minimum of 80 lives could be saved
IN 10 years, Mr.. Watkins showed from
statistics that from purely economic
tandpoint, the illness and deaths pre-
vented would be worth at least $50, ,OG0
to the community in one decade, or as
much as the entire sewerage system
would probably cost.
After considerable discussion OF
the matter, President 10 Frauenthal
appointed committee of five to III
vestlgate the most practicable bound
airy lines for district to cover the
greater portion of the city and secure
data giving the approximate cost cf
the system. The committee is compos-
ed of Capt. W. W. Martin, w. D. Cole,
j., Prof. G. H. Burr, J. A. Pence and
Frank E. Robins. Engineer Watkins
also agreed to serve with the commit
tee and lend them whatever assistance
possible and will work in conjunction
with Prof. Burr in making an approx
innate estimate of the cost of the sys-
tenn.
The committee was instructed to re-
port their findings at a mass meeting
of the citizens, to be held at the court
house next Monday night at 7:3O. At
this meeting it will be determined
whether it will be advisable to pro-
ceed with the organization of dis
trict and if it is decided in the affirma-
tive petitions asking for the formation
of the district will probably be pre-
sented to the council at it's next meet
ing.
Since it was first brought up, the
sewer question is matter of constant
discussion on the streets, and very
little opposition has been publicly ex-
pressed against the movement.

Several of the Conway boys have

was broken into during the night, the
vaults being blown by nitrog1ycerln.

been found 1t is believed the men
are experts at the business.
Two strange men have been observ-
ed in New Westminster for several
days. One of them had a bill changed
at the bank.
The supposition is that the man Wis
tied the bank merely to inform him
self as to the location of the vaults.
They are supposed to be the men who
for several months have robbed trains

1t is minated that Taft Will Do a

President Taft will do "house clean

and he will lot ask for the resignation
of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley as a step in
the renovation. These are two facts

cided"
This is regarded as forecast of sum-
mary measures when the president re-
turns to Washington in November.
In his opinion making it known that
the "condign punishment for DR..
Wiley, which Mr. .Wickersha-1 held to
be necessary, will not be melted out,
the president voices no word of criti-
cism for the chemist, but many a word
of praise.
THERE'S no indication in it that Mr..
Taft feels that he turned down" the
attorney general by not accepting his
recommendations. He explains that
Mr.. Wickersham's findings in the case
were made with less complete data
than were before him when he took t.
up.
The wiley case" arose over the en-
plOyment by the bureau of CT >mistrY
of DR.. H. H. Rusby of New York, phar-
macognosist of the bureau. In effect.
DR.. Wiley, DR. L. F. Keb1er, chief of
the drug laboratory, and DR.. w. D.
Bigelow, assistant chief of the bureau,
were charged with having conspired to
pay DR.. Rusby salary Of $1,000 a
year, with the tacit understanding thai
he was to do only enough work to Sc
cure this amount at the rate of 500 :.
day. This was held to violate the act
of congress of March 4, 1907. which de-
clared that 10 classified scientific in
vestigator should receive moe than 50

In addition to the recommendation
that DR.. Wiley be allowed to resign,
the personnel board held that DR.. Rus
by should be dismissed, that DR.. Keb-
Ter be reduced and that Dr. Bigelow
be allowed to quit the service. None
of these recommendations is Upheld

thrashed out thoroughly in connection
with the barley and hop exhibition
which will be held in Chicago Oct.
1922. AS in the case of other ar0mat-
ic plants, the sources of the aroma are
not well understood. Aroma usually
depends upon such minute particles
of substance that even the delicate re-
actions in the chemical laboratory are
frequently inadequate to discover
them. The high prices which are paid,
for instance. for certain wines are
based upon their flavor or aroma, and
yet this flavor or aroma cannot be
discovered by chemical analysis. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that the
substances which contain the flavor
or aroma of hops have never been as
certained with certainty. There is a
theory that they are closely associ-
ated with the soft resins contained in
the lupulin, or the hop -four, which is
found between the bracts of the cone
of the hop plant.
AS for the color Of the hops, various
preferences prevail, some preferring
the varieties which are entirely green,
while Others think the yellowish green
Is preferable. In this country the yell
lOWish kinds are usually preferred,
while in Germany the green ones have
the call.
Inasmuch as the brewing value of
hops depends largely upon the lupulin-
ic acid and the soft resins and the
American hops are unusually rich in
soft resins. American hop growers
need have no fear of entering the prize
competition at Chicago under the rules
which have been adopted for the jury
which is to judge the hops.
