For Larry Flynn's

why is Larry Flynn. deputy sheriff, a

Mr. Flynn answered this question seven
times yesterday when as many different
girls called him by telephone.
"A bachelor is a man who has been
crossed in love-" he explained. "And a
married man is one who has been double
crossed
The girls kept the telephone wires busy
as the result of publication OF informa-
ton that New York girl is trying to
marry Flynn. They all wanted to know
why Omaha girls were not good enough
for him.
The keen competition for Flynn's hand
in marriage has caused F1ynn's COM
panions in the sheriffs office to form a
plan to dispose of him by auction to the
highest feminine bidder at the court house
ball next Friday evening. This means
that the tallest girl is to have him.

light was thrown upon the scope of

the form of preliminary draft of

nance and increase of permanent
works in the Hawaiians and Philip

Estimates for the Panama canal which
will fall under the canal government will
add another 100000 to this sum. and in
addition the War department asks au-
thority to make continuing contracts dur
ing the year to total of more than $i0-
10000 for mobile and coast artillery and
ammunition, the appropriation to be
made next year. The bill last year
granted such authoritity to the extent OF

trains and moved along the coasts to
points of danger. They also embrace ex-
perimental work with new types of field,
