Rains fell In many counties in Nebraska Bunday and yesterday, and the drouth that so seriously threatened the corn crop has been broken in a measure, with promise of more general rainfall duriig the next tew days. Reports received at the headquart local railroads ind e that the da the hot winds of last week will not great as was generally feared. There was a pouring rain reported along the Albion and Cedar Rapids branch of the Union Pacific north of Columbus yesterday. At the headquarters of the Missouri Pa- eific a heavy rain was reported to have fal- len Sunday morning throughout the coun- try between Auburn and Atchison. There was no rain west on the Central Branch through Kansas, however.

Hanibal Fools the Strikers. There is a good strike yarn permeating Secretary Tom M. Orr's department down at the Union Pacific headquarters. During the late labor disturbance up along the Utah & Northern division of the Union Pacific Sells & Rentfrow’s circus was showing at Lima, Mont. They were there when the strike was ordered. They had dates at both Dillon and Butte and were anxious to get there, but when they began to pull up stakes the local switchmen notificd them that they could not move their stuff over the Union Pacific, as they had no engine. Wil Sells, manager of the megatherion outfit, was in a horrible stew, bul suddenly a happy thought struck him, and that was to have his big elephant, Hanibal Junior, serve as an engine. Accordingly the big mountain ‘of Asfatic flesh and bone was brought forth and headforemost put behind the train of twenty-four, cars all heavily laden with ~ the = show's traps. Hanibal ~was equal to the occasion, and he shoved the whole shebang down from Divide, but he couldn’t get them over the big incline. Seils, however, injected a dozen barrels or two of sarsaparilla under his belt, and the mammoth beast, turned round and kicked the whole outfit over the hill. Then he butted them along at a merry clip down the 105 foot grade, and up the western range, shoving the entire train, performers, tents, horses, menageric and all, into Butte the next morning in time for the afternoon per- formance.

General Manager Dickinson of the Union Paclilc conveys the information that the . recelvers of the Union Pacific are rapidly ar- riving at satisfactory arrangements with Re- ceiver McNell of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company. They have agreed upon a division of the freight and passenger busfniess and the handling of the joint trafiic at Huntington, Ore., the station where the two lines come together. The Unlon Pacific is to handle the station, insofar as the question of expenses of agents, operators and carpenters gocs, which s to be diyided on a wheeling basis, which is prac- tically on everything, the wheelage of both Mnes from this point being about equal. Frelght Traftic Again Normal. CHICAGO, July 30.—The amount of freight handled last week Is about what the roads were handling before the strike and shows that they have retovered their own and are doing as'much business as before they were crippled. The chief item in the free traflic of the western roads at present Is live stock. If these shipments maintain their present average, it will be only a short time before the price takes a tumble, as packers have at present about all they care to handle and there seems to be no signs of a let-up in the traffle, Must Leav mny Houses or Work. MURPHYSBORO, 11L., July 30.—The Gart- sides coal mines have notified thelr miners to give up possession of the houses which they rent them or go to work. A small number went down to repair the mine with- out protection and a large number promised to report for work tomorrow. The adjoining mine of the Big Muddy Coal and Mining company Is working with new men under protection of deputy marshals. They have been working about two weeks without In- terference or trouble from the old men. Rallroads Cla Damnges.

CHICAGO, July 30.—There was plenty of excitement in the corn pit to Reports There was an the market the price jumped rapidly. advance of nearly 3 cents, and closed at the top figures of the day. excitement started with the posting of state in Chicago to be 97,000 head, the one day receipts ever known. It brought traders to the realization of the drouth in the corn belt and its consequenc such as they had not previously con 1. The magnitude of the receipts showed that western stock growers had become alarmed over the long drouth, and fearing that they would be unable to secure feed at paying prices, had resolved to sell out at once, While the brokers have taken cognizance of the drouth they had not heretofore had it so strongly impressed upon their minds. The showing that 60,000 hogs, 20,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep had been shipped to Chi- cago in twenty-four hours came with almost the suddenness and force of a knock- out blow. During all last week corn was on the jump. The signal service reports of showers in various localities caused prices to drop 2 cents, but it was reasoned that the rain had benefited only a limited ter- ritory, and prices advanced. Saturday night prices closed pretty well advanced with the expectation of the market being influenced by the weather on Monday. When the traders came down to business today they consulted the weather map and press dis- patches and saw that in sections of II- linois, Missouri and Kansas showers had fallen, but these had not been sufficient to break the drouth in the big corn belt which extends from Ohio to the Rocky mountains. Then came the announcement regarding live stock receipts, and it began to be realized that 76 per cent of the best portion of the corn belt was still_affected by the drouth. The “surplus corn” states, Iowa, Illinois Missouri, Kansas and Indiana, which last year raised 1,000,000,000 bushels out of 1,600,- 000,000, constituting the entire crop in the United States, and shipped much of it be- cause they were unable to use it, had not been materially affected it was declared and the brokers were set to thinking. It did not take them long to figure out with considerable unanimity that the western packers, who became heavy buyers of corn during the closing days of last week, Knew more about the exact situation than they did themselves, and that the indications of the serious effect of the drouth had been seen in the west before they were seen here, All these things influenced the market and the alarm became general. One thing that averted a panic was the pulling against cach other of wheat and corn. Every con- dition was favorable to forcing wheat down and corn up. The excitement continued unabated till the close, with the outlook for a fleld day tomorrow. e —— Clan Gordon. - MADE SOME CHANGES. largest Board of Public Works Forces Reorganized Under the New Deal. The reorganization of the street and sewer departments of the Board of Public Works was' partially completed yesterday and the remaining vacancies will be filled at a special meeting of the board this after- noon. The way was cleared for this’ action by a resolution Instructing the secretary to notify all inspectors in the street and sewer departments that their services would not be required after July 31, This was adopted, and then Sewer Commissioner Balcombe re- ported the following list of appointments, which were confirmed: Permit — inspectors, Michael Lee and S. Y. Sanson, Sewer in- spector, R. H. Walker. Mr. Walker is not permanently employed, but draws $4 per day for all actual service. This action dispenses with the services of John Yrack, who was a permit inspector un- der Major Furay's administration. No eriti- cism is passed on Mr. Yrack's qualifications for the position, but his ambition to fill the place now occupied by Street Commissioner Kaspar Is the cause of his decapitation. A vigorous fight has been made on him by some of Kaspar's friends, and his name was dropped from the list of inspectors on that account. His successor, Sanson, was formerly foreman of the street gang when Chairman Winspear was street commis- sioner. Mike Lee retains his old position, and George J. Hodder and W. F. B. Wilcox, formerly sewer inspectors, are dropped. There is so little being done now in the way of sewer construction that it was not thought advisable to Keep more than one regular sewer inspector on the payroll, and the de- partment will economize by getting along with one man In that position. Mr. Kaspar was not ready to make his appointments yesterday, and the employes in his department will be on the anxious seat for another twenty-four hours. Notlee to Delegates. The delegates from the Elkhorn valley to the republican Sixth district congressional convention are notified that the Burlington & Missourl River railroad will hold a train at Crawford to connect with the Elkhorn train Thursday, August 2, getting to Broken Bow in time for the convention.

I Kierstead drove some twent miles through Douglas county yesterday and reports three-fourths of the corn in good condition. With rain during the week he is sure that castern Nebraska will have at least three-fourths of an average crop. He has crossed lowa, Ilinois and Michigan twi during the last’ two weeks, and nowhere does the corn look as well as in the vicinity of Omaha. A short crop throughout the country means big prices for corn, hogs and cattle, Nebraska's principal productions. “During ~ times like these,” said he, ‘“people look 'too ~ much on the gloomy side of everything, but they should not be discouraged. With Sep- tember corn In Chicago selling at 44% cents, the farmers of Nebraska will get more dol- lars for their crop this year than ever before. Although business is dull in Omaha, we should be thankful that it is better than in most other sections of the country.” Golng to Burlington Beach next Saturday? Tickets only one dollar.

Vocal and mental musie, the former rendered Liedertafel and ' the Saengerbund, served to while away the hours, Besides there were the usual number of games which light the small boy, his sister and the ladies. Al these things had been arranged | by a_committe consisting of Mesdames Gel- ler, Herinz, Huhn, Schnelder, Steffe Bagsel, Spetler and Schyltz. | pervision over games and ref tors had been delegated to Christ whose untiring efforts made the picnic cess. J. Brandeis of the Boston store ha made the society a present in the shape costly pocketbook, which was to be pres: on this occasion to the most deserving and most popular member.

The races co sted of a ladies' egg race and a fat man's race. An oscillating biscuit-eating contest furnished never ending “fun. The little girls played at blind man's buff and the boys had foot race In this latter William Oren won first and Henry Jetter second prize. Tillle Schneider awarded couple of vases and Rosa bottle of perfume as first and second prizes in the blind man's buff gan ting egg race was won by Mrs. and Miss Emma Schneiderwind.

Bavaria, the goddess of that S man kingdom, attracted a fair sized crowd of her protegees, os well as their friends, to Ruser's park Sunday. The traditional lien pictured by her side, gazed dreamily upon a multitude of merry people. Merry, because it was the local Bavarian soclety’s annual pienic and outing, to which all the members are accustomed to look forward with plea ure. Organized in 1888, the society has prospered in finances and numbers. It is now under the able presido of Jacob Hauck, who is seconded in his efforts to extend the Verein by Jacob Vollmer, secretary. The Bavarians are a brave and generous peopl and withal know how to enjoy themselve The latter was conclusively proven yester when the park was peopled with a lot of gay men, women and children. They did not relinquish _their hold upon the continu- ous rounds of pleasure until a very late hour. In this they were joined by a con- siderable number of friends from other Ger- man stotes. As customary on such occa- sions, the younger element of both sexes indulged in games and dancing in the well appointed pavilion, while the older people sought the more. secluded spots under shady trees and around -the tables, where, over a glass of the foaming, reminis- cences weve exchanged. An egg race furnished excitement for the ladies; the sack race attracted the boys and a foot race the younger men. Bowling alley contest furnished sport for others. The program for this sort of entertainment had been ar- ranged by George Hoffman, Anton Wagner, Fritz Pinzensham, Michael Muench and Jack Vollmer. An unusual attraction was fur- nislied by Fritz Neber, a second Sandow, in an exhibition at physical strength. M. Neber, before emigrating to this country, was president of the athletic club in Frank- fort-on-the-Main. While sitting in a_chair with his legs stretched out in a horizontal position he bore -on them the combined weight of two men and a heavy iron bar, all weighing in theneighborhoood of 400 pounds. A 100-pound weight was raised by him in one hand and thrown to the other. Twelve- pound bars placed between two fingers at the ends were kept in a_horizontal position for a few minates. He also bore 700 pounds of weight upon his back and hibited many other tests of his strength. As usual on such occasions Mrs. Ruser fur- nished a delicious repast in the evening, Mr. Ruser was to be found everywhere la- boring for a proper entertainment of his guests. The bowling alley contest prizes were won by Mr. Kramer of Council Bluffs, Louls Meyer and Fritz Thomas of this city.

And yet these little ones, like the count- less children in homes where there is “little LITTLE MOLLIE WARD. to earn and many to keep,” are all human babies, and the things that are really their health and happiness are very simple during the first few years of their lives. In fact, when parents have made sure that baby's food Is sufficiently nourishing and h at there is plenty of pure air and absolute , they can really do noth- ing else where trained nurses are employed lactated food is always kept on hand. And at the first sign of bowel trouble baby is put on an exclusive dict of lactated food until the intestinal disturbance is over. Physicians know of nothing else equal to lactated food to take the place of mother's milk It is made for the express purpose of forming as perfect a substitute for healthy mother's milk as anaiysis will ghow. It is pleasant to the taste, and has the unusual virtue of inducing deli babics to take nourishment when other food disagrees with thelr weak stomachs. Lactated food has ed thousands of babies from falling victims to cholera infantum by Keeping up their strength, without increasing, as most food does at such times, the irritation in the testines that is acountable for most of the fatalities among children in July and Aug- ust. This valuable baby food s everywhere used in the homes where the most modern and valuable appliances for securing health and comfort are met with, and yet the best of baby foods is easily within the reach of the most modest homes. One hundred and fifty meals can be made from a $1.00 package, or sufficient to last about four weeks, making the food prepared for baby cost less than e a quart. In thou- sands of unpretentious homes in the large cities especially, this valuable food is found. Medical skill can do no more to save ba- bles' lives and to keep them well than it has done in the preparation of lactated food.
