ESTELLE REFUSES TO TAKE
DAMAGE CASE FROM JURY

Decision by District Judge Estelle that
a jury should decide whether the city Of
Omaha should answer in damages TO
Henry c. Behrens for injuries sustained
when run down by an automobile in
which City Commissioner Ryder was rid
ing on his way to inspect the streets at
the public market. If sustained by the
supreme court, is expected to have a far
reaching effect with regard to the posi-
ton Of the city as defendant in damage
suits.
The judge declined to take the case
from the jury on the ground that Ryder
was not acting within the scope of his
duties as head of the police departme mt
when the accident occurred, but was
merely seeking to familiarize himself
with conditions in the vicinity of the
market.

WEIGHING OF MAILS TO
BE FINISHED TUESDAY

The quadrennial weighing of the mails
will be completed in this division on
Tuesday, according TO instructions re-
ceived from Washington. Owing to the
fact that the tabulation OF the weights
made in 1910 was made in Chicago. It is
impossible TO compare the weights this
year with the last general Weighing in
this division However it is known that
a substantial increase Is shown, much Of
which is attributed to the increased
weight of the mails due to the inaugura-
ton of the parcel post.

dignity and a crouch.

A man wears a long coat to keep
his calves warm. A girl wants one
that is stylish and flares out around
the bottom like a bell and keeps her
calfettes cool.
And after noting the effect of the
European war on women's styles, a
man is almost ornery enough to wish
that a big war would break out
among the hottentots, just to see
what the girls would not wear.
Women wouldn't be so militant
and Independent If they only realiz-
ed that their helplessness helps them
more than anything else.
A girl will laugh when she sees
her fiancee kick a poor stray cur dog
that follows him on the street. And
later on, after they are married, she
will wonder why it is that she can't

Luke McLuke Says.

A wOman'si idea of a bargain is to
spend a dime in car fare to go down
town and purchase a ten-cent article
for nine cents.
A fellow seldom gets a two-spot
when he needs one to make straight
or fill his hand. But he is sure to
get the deuce from his wife when he
goes home after the game.
Let a man prescribe for himself
and he will take whisky.
The managing editor of the un-
verse doesn't listen to every petition
sent in. But he always answers the
plea of the fellow who first does all
he can to help himself and then asks
for assistance.
One reason why some men do not
purchase photographs is because
they can 60 into cafe and purchase
a beer and hear a dozen to-handed
talking machines that never change
records and never run down.
The old-fashioned boy who used to
have to paddle his own canoe now

We all laugh heartily at the old
Joe Miller jokes by the man who is
buying the drinks. But the lad who
believes in the Dutch treat is jumped
on every time he starts to spring
story.
When a man dashes for a street car
in the morning and digs around in
his pants pockets with puzzled look
on his face and finally locates one
lone nickel you can bet that he is
married and that friend wife did

The man who regards IL as lucky
number can't see how any one could

The average sociologist believes

Good intentions usually pass away
with the dark brown taste that caus-
ed you to adopt them.

ity. But the real kind is to remem-

Miners MAKE MOVE
AGAINST STRIPPING
Gov. Ralston Will be Asked To
Urge Immediate Legis-
lative Action.

Boonville, Ind. Nov. 2s.-An
agitation has been begun here to
endeavor by means of legislation at
the coming session of the Indiana
Legislature to prevent the mining of
coal by stripping. The new process
has thrown 700 men out of employ
ment here and these men have join
ed hands with the local business men
to appear before the coming Legis-
lature for relief. Philip Lutz, Jr.
representative-elect from Warrick
county has promised to introduce
a bill to stop stripping.
1t is understood that stripping
has been prohibited by statutes i'm
some of the States as being against
public policy and community welfare.
Hundreds of acres OF the best farm
ing land in Warrick county are be-
ing destroyed and it is argued that
this land will not be fit for culti-
walton or any other use, and Will be
forever destroyed as u substantial
source for taxation,
Ten men under the stripping plan
can do the work formerly done by
100. and 1t is said that while the
Government is spending hundreds of
dollars in reclamation work in the
West. the attention of the state
should be called to the destruction
of naural resources in Indiana. With
supply of coal lasting hundreds
of years and with the value of coal
increasing daily. it is urged that
Warrick county can we'll afford to
keep her coal and not have her agri-
cultural lands destroyd.
United States Senator John Kern,
who has been interested in the mat
ter here, says that he believes the
matter can be reached by state
law under the police power of the
States. and asks that Gov. Ralston
be informed and ask to suggest a
remedy in the message to the Legis-
lature so as to command the instan-
taneous attention of the Legislature.
