There we're others who were

she took dive into the surf.
The person who was most surprised

Ing every code in the city ordinance
covering bathing beaches" said Dem
ney, as he ran over to the pier, where
the "heliotrope girl' was majestically
swimming beyond the life lines.
Hey, come ashore" shouted the DO

been practically completed for the
transfer of the hospital at Brookings
to the Methodist deaconesses. A Miss
Wilson, representing that society, WIS.,
tied this city and was given assur-
ances of support to an extent that
renders it certain the plan will go

$4,000, but George P. Sexauer and
Horace Fishback, who own it, have
agreed to sell it to the Deaconess as
ISOLATION of Omaha, which Miss Will
son represents, for $4,000, and to do
nate $4,000 additional on the purchase
price. Two physicians have also
agreed to take $1,000 each in the prop
erty, and this leaves but $4,000 to be
raised Efforts which promise to be
successful are being made to raise
that amount and to turn over the hos
pital, debt free, to the society.

RAILROADS GET BUSY.


mense Grain Production.
Sioux Falls.-At meeting held In
Sioux Falls by the state board OF rail-
road commissioners careful and Sc
rious consideration was given to the
matter of guarding as much as posi-
BILE against car shortage in South
Dakota later in the fall when the
great bulk of the mammoth small
grain crop is ready for marketing.
The railroad commissioners have
during the past few weeks been using
every means at their disposal to in
duce the railroads to prepare for
promptly handling the great crop
raised in the state this season, and
as a result of these efforts the rail-
roads have been moving several thou
sand of their cars into the western
grain territory. The Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul company has be-
tween three and four thousand grain
cars available for this wrok. The Chi
cago and Northwestern has on side
tracks in South Dakota about four
thousand cars, and the company has
put on thirty of its new large type To-
and is in good shape to han
die the grain to be shipped from the
lines of the Northwestern in South
Dakota.
Figures compiled by the railroad
show that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway
has added during the current
,ear $500 new cars and 296 of the
argest type locomotives to its system.
IN account of the expectation of a
argely increased business the COM
'any also has added largely to it's
rack terminals and yard facilities, so
S 40 be able to handle the heavy bust"
ess as promptly as possible.

ONE INDICTMENT IN
bREN|CfR CASE IS
DISMISSED BY COURT

Bert Breniger yesterday succeeded
in having the indictment. charging him
with maintaining nuisance duashed
by the court. No sooner had the de-
cision been made, than the grand jury
returned another against him, it is
said, and probably for the alleged COM
mission of the same offense.
The bond will be fixed at $3.50 in
this as in the other cases against
Berniger, where he is charged by the
grand jury with selling liquor with
out license to two different men. He
will probably be arraigned in the d s.
trict court sometime through the af-
ternoon.
The arguments on the motion to
quash the indictment We're made last
Saturday. the counsel arguing that the
paper contained more than one charge
against the defendant and was, there
fore, duplex in its nature and illegal.
After the single indictmei { was re-
turned at 11:55 o'clock this morning,
the grand jury took another recess, I'M
til Oct. 81. 1t is presumed that other
matters will be held under advisement
until that time. 1t is thought that
there are several other matters that
will be investigated by the grand jury
before they are finali,' dismissed by
the court and their work is ended.
All of those indicted some time ago
on charges of violation of the state
banking laws, were arraigned in court
this morning and the dates for their
trials will be set Nov. 4.
