JACK THE SAPPER"
SLUGS AS PASTIME
Criminal Makes Practice Of
Sandbagging Pedestrians
Without Motive.
DOESN'T ROB VICTIMS

Jack the Sapper" is the way the
Omaha police designate the newest
criminal operator.
A man, armed with a blackjack.
which in police parlance is known as
"a Sap" is making a practice of slug
ging inoffensive pedestrians in the
Bowery district after sundown. Last
night he got three.
Donald Murphy, employed by the
Lee Huff Automobile company; John
Alexander, itinerant, and Frank Will
Jams, Metropolitan hotel, were his vic
tins. Each of the men was slugged
within few minutes of the other.
From the stories they told the po-
lice, it is apparent that robbery is not
the motive of this strange footpad.
He simply walks up behind his victim
and swings his sandbag once. Once
is usually enough. =
Murphy was unconscious for nearly
an hour.
All of the assaults occurred within
few blocks of central police station.

Roads Must Cancel
Peddling Orders

Lincoln, July 27.-(Special.) 1.-The
Burlington and Union Pacific rail-
roads will be required to cancel on
or before September |, 1916, the rule
in effect governing peddling from
cars, the State Railway commission
this afternoon promulgating an order
to that effect
The matter came up about year
ago, when these roads made a rule
refusing to allow apples and like
commodities to be sold from the cars
by retail.
Growers of fruit made a protest
and several hearings have been had.
Efforts to compromise the matter by
allowing charge for the use of cars
were not successful. .5 r.
The present order will simply
mean that the railroads must permit
the use of cars from which sales can
be made or make showing sufficient
to warrant the commission in making
a new order.

Small Percentage of
State Guard Rejected

Loncoln, July 27.-(Special. Me-
braska troops have been exceedingly
fortunate in the small percentage Of

other deficiencies, according to Cap
tain P. G. Wrightson, who was one
of the regular army officers detailed
for service here during the mobiliza-
tion of the Nebraska Guard before
going to the border.
In letter received by Major A. R.
Hayzel of the adjutant generals de-
partment, Captain Wrightson says he
would like to be back in service with
the Nebraska troops. He says that

lucky regiment $50 out of 1,l00, while
Nebraska lost but 270 from the en-
tire Guard of two regiments and three

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much bet
ter than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces IL enough
to last everyone in the family for
onths.--Advertisement.

Farmers May Use
Water They Want
(From a STAFF Correspondent }

Lincoln, July H.-(Special. Fol
lowing the hearing before the State
Board OF Irrigation yesterday on
complaint of the Kearney Water
Power company that the farmers
were holding back water that should
come down the river, so that the
power company could use it, the state
board has instructed the company that
the orders made by State Engineer
Johnson authorizing farmers to use
what water they needed for irrigation
above Kearney would have to stand.
Without the water the crops would
be total loss to the farmers, and, ac-
cording to the board, il allowed to
pass would evaporate before reaching
the Kearney companys' intake dam,
and, therefore, be entirelylost, while
the power company can still run,
though it is costing SIS day for coal.

Ordinarily he would consider the ac-
tion Of the senate an order, but they
did not back it up by appropriating
the funds to buy the furniture, al
though the order gives him power to
create a deficiency.

LOCAL COMMENT

The passing of an entire seasons
paving resolutions. at one meeting
makes the work look as big as o
mountain but in fact MarShalltown
will not do any more paving this year
than many a county seat town of one
fifth the size is doing. We are going
to improve our city. We have 10000
inhabitants now and we are adding
We must build on to our sewers, water
mains and streets. Marshallt6wn has
struck her gait and insists that every
abstacle to advancement get out Of the
way and let somebody run who can
run. ~
Assessing sewers to AUDITING prop
erty is a new method for this city but
it is the only relief to growing city
which needs sewer extensions faster
than the general tax will build them.
For years the custom has been to over
draw the sewer fund and, let property
owners carry the warrants who get
the sewers and even then other people
clamored in vain for sewers when the
money was gone. Practically all the
larger cities of the state have gone
over to the special assessment plan so
that everybody can have sewers as
fast as they want them.
A sewer costing so cents a running
foot will be assessed to property on
both sides of the street or $500 to a
so foot lot frontage and that will be
divided into seven annual payments
bearing per cent interest or can be
paid in cash. The assessment will
amount to $500 per annum for seven
years upon an average lot. The pres
ent levy for sewers is two mills. On
a $4,000 property assessed at $1,000
and taxed on one-fourth Of that the
sewer tax now is $3.50 per annum
whether the property gets it's sewer or
