Ginn & Co. have published a text book called “Agriculture for Beginners.” Text books on agriculture are sure to be in de- mand; especially by the teachers in the public schools of Nebraska, as they now pass an examination on agricultural sub- Jeots and teach the same to puplls in the schools. Agriculture teaching is a new de- parture, and there are few text books sult- able for its study. Ginn & Co. seem to have solved the problem as far as it can bo done without experiment, and In their book begin at the beginning with the sofl, the foundation of all agrioulturs, then take up plant iife and plants and show how'they grow. From vegetables they gradually lead the puplis Into the knowledge of fruits and the various insects that prey on them, and show how by pofsons and othier means these enemies of frult and vegetables may be destroyed. Diseases of plants are shown and remedies. A chapter on domestic ani- mals tells about the main classes of ani- mals kept on the farm. Dalrying, poultry and incubators can be studied from this book, nor does it meglect the busy bao. Altogether, the book covers the most im- portant points. of agricultur For a book of action and “‘get up and #ot" adventure, and with It all as thrilling and exciting n ‘love tale as ever was printed, there is none mare fully fills the bill than "“Under Mad Anthony's Banner,” written by James Ball Naylor. The story opens at the time General St. Clair's army had been out to pleces by the Indlans, and General Anthony Wayne put in defense of what was then the northwest territory. The story relates how General Wayne, find- ing Fort Washington unsultable for the proper drilling of his traops, moved a mile farther down and named his encampment “‘Hobson's Chole and there began the work of making an army of the material at bis handa. In those times there was no lull In the adventure and excitement, but each succeeding day brought its full pro- portion. Every page in filled with detalls of doing® by the British, the Indian: halfbresds, the scouts, the traitorous acts of General Anthony's own officers and men, the tortures and sufferings of those Wwho were taken captive by .the Indlans and halfbreeds and the hairbreadth es capes, while the love story is sufclently exciting to satisfy even those who admire wuch & tale best.

PLAN TO MAKE TROLLEY TRAINS SAFE Ordinance to Require Motor Stop the Car When He Begl to Collect Fares on Mis- wouri Avenue Lime. The city councll last evening dlsposed of a mass of routine business. The session was marked by constant humorous sallies between the members of the council, bring- ing out hearty laughs from the many spec- tators who were present. The feature of the meeting was an ordi- nance introduced by President of the Coun- cll W. H. Queenan, requiring the street car company to have street cars stopped when the motorman leaves his place of duty. The reason for the Introduction of the ordinance is the accidental death of John R. Wilson Sunday night by belng run over by a street car on Missouri avenue while the motorman was engaged in col- lecting fares. If the ordinance pasees, hereafter the car will be stopped when the motorman starts in doing this work. A petition was filed asking for the open- ing of Jefferson or Madison street across the Rock Island tracks. John Fiynn filed a communication to the eftect that the water company had placed o water hydrant near Twenty-third and H streets that is dangerous to passersby, and asked that it be removed. Anna Smith filed a communication asking for the reduction of taxes on her property. It 1s a voluminous affalr and City Clerk Shrigley took three decsive rests during its rending. It was referred to the finance commlittee. The Omaha Cooperage company asked that ft be allowed to repair ita property re- cently damaged by fire without the Inter- ference of any officlal and without a bulld- ing permit to do the work. This communi- catlon was also referred. Sanitary Inspector Frank B. Jones called the attention of the council to the pools of watér about the city and asked for Instruc- tions, which he did not get. City Englineer Beal estimated the cost of soveral grading contracts and warrants were drawn for the amounts. The ordl- nance providing for the grading of C street recently passed was repealed on account of Irregularities in the petition calling for the improvement. For the grading of the alley between B and C streets and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-third streets, Danlel #annon cured the contract, his bid being lower than that of Cash Brothers. These two contractors later bld par on about $3,000 worth of grading bonds, and the oWligations were dlvided between them. The following crosswalks will be lald: North side of R street, across Twenty- ninth street; alley between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets, south side of F street; K and Twenty-second streets; north side of L street on Forty-second street; north side of B street across Twenty-sev- enth street; north side of I strest betwesn Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets; across Twenty-third street, north side of G street and across G street, east side of Twenty-third street. O'Connor asked that the board sidewalk between I and K streets be repaired at onee, under a suspension of the rules and a fight started for pérmanent sidewalks. But the original motion carried, as aid one to repair a sidewalk between Railroad avenue and Seventeenth street on Madison street. ‘Watrrants will 'be issued for 1,000 feet of hew hose recently purchased for the fire department. The most amusing event of the evening was the tilt between different members ot the councll over the draffing of an ordi- nance requiring the packing houses to ralse the helght of thelr smokestacks. O'Con- ner introduced the motion, and the, council was divided on It. Finally Welch hit upon the happy idea of referring it to the bufld- ing and grounds committes, which was done, thus averting serfous trouble, which at the time seemed imminent. Nelghbors Fail to Agr L. C. Thompson-appeared in the police court yesterday and asked that a warrant be issued for the arrest of James Anderson. According to the story of Thompson, An- derson and his son assaulted him, knock- ing him over with a neck-yoke and after he was dowri ‘took his pocket book and con- tents and & double set of harness from him. The Andersons soon arrived on the scene, without the ald of a warrant, and asked for a complaint against Thompson, charging him with assault and battery and disturbance of the peace. Both of the complaints were lssued and all of the par- tles gave bonds for their appearance this afternoon. They have resided In the same house and are sald to have been close friends. Yesterday afternoon Anderson agaln appeared before Judge King and asked that & warrant be lssuedfor Thomp- son for falling to feed his horses, but the police judge informed him that the limit had been reached and all complaints had been issued that would be tolerated. New Road Gets Here. The first train to come Into South Omaha over the Chicago Great Western rallroad arrived yesterday morning. It came over the Unlon Pacific tracks and cons five loads of cattle from central Iowa. It is claimed that much of the stock contem- plated to be brought in over the new road has heretofore gone to the Chicago mar- kets. It is sald that a local representative of the road will soon be placed here, Body is Taken KEast. Funeral services over the remains ot John R. Wilson, the young man who was accl- dentally kilied Sunday night by belng run over by the Missouri avenue car on L street, were held yesterday at the home of Bamuel Mort, 702 North . Thirty-second street, yesterday afternoon. “The ssrvic were under the auspices of the Masonle order and a great number of the friends of the deceased were present. In the evening the remains were taken to Philadeiphia for burial. The father and mother of the dead boy reside at that place, More Subway Talk. It Is sald that under the instructions of General Manager W. J. C. Kenyon, Chief Engineer W. 8. King has made & survey and completed plans for a subway to be built under the tracks at the Exchangs crossing. The estimated cost of the work will be $80,000. While it is not as yet fully decided whether the subway will be built, it is generally thought that the work will be done. There is said to be some opposi- tion to' the scheme. What effect the build- ing of the subway would be on the proposed viaduct is & matter of conjecture, although property owners on lower M street are said | to faver such a plan and are wililug to donate toward its completion. School Work Progressing. The public Achools of South Omaha have settied down in the old grind and there is no material change from the cendition of affalrs when school closed last year, In the Brown Park ‘school four primary reoms have been started and each of them is do- ing good work. In the elghth grade of this scheol only nineteen puplls are enrolled thus far, bul & general increase throughout the school is expected. Leek for Big Caratval The local lodges of the Anclent Order of United Workmen look forward to & great arnival. The affair is to start on Septem- ber 21, and everything is now In readiness for the event. Yesterday the committee on arrangements were busy booking attrace tions. Nothing of an immoral character will be tolerated onsthe grounds. The loca- tion of the fair will be immediately sur- rounding the temple at Twenty-fifth and N streets. Father and Son Burned. As a result of an explosion of gasoline at the home of Henry Bchrader, §8 North Twenty-first street, two people were badly burned and the bullding was damaged by fire. Mr. Schrader and his son Henry were both quite badly burned while attempting to save the house. Their injuries are not regarded as dangerous. A gasoline tank on o stove was belng filled when the ofl ex- ploded. The loss on the building Is esti- mated at $00 and the furniture at §100, It was fully covered by insurance. Prompt and effective work on the part of the fire department saved the house and contents. Magie Clity Go Francis Keegan left Monday evening for St. Paul seminary. W. 8.

OBSTACLES MAY DISAPPEAR Barriers to Submission of Prop by Gas Company Probably Wil He Removed. tion ' Difoulties which the Omaha Gas com- pany has asserted stood in tho way of its making a proposition for street lighting to the city will be removed in a few days, according to City Attorney Wright. “I expect that the present restraining order will be dissolved by Judge Dickinson this week,” sald Mr. Wright. “Attorneys for Ernest Stuht, who brought sult to pre- vent the clty council from taking steps to- wards entering Into a contract with the gas company, have signed a stipulation agreelng to modify the terms of the order 0 that they will not prevent a proposition being made. This stipulation will be presented to Judge Dickinson Wednesday and he will be asked to amend the injunc- tion accordingly. This will leave the way open to the gas company. “However, 1 expect to have arrange- ments made 5o that the entire order will be lifted, thus obviating complications of any kind.* One of the most vigorous opponents to the proposed electric light monopoly—a man not in publio lite—sald that in his opinion President Nash would not now submit his proposal to the city. *“The proposition Is dead right now,” he declared. “Public_sentiment is so over- whelmingly agalnst it that I expect to see Nash drop it at once.” GREAT WESTERN_ LOCATES Stickney Road, With S.

EMPLOYS GRANT AND HIS PAVING PLANT Mayor, Majority of Publie Works Board amd Seven Counellmen Favor the Plan, While Wright Questions Legality, Mayor Moores, the board of public works and seven members of the councll made ar- rangements yesterday afternoon to repalr the asphalt streets. They arranged with John Grant of the Nebraska Bitulithic com- pany to employ him as superintendent of the job at $100 and such expert labor as was necessary at the current price and to buy all materials through Mr. Grant, who will present the bills to the council. The use of the Grant paving plant is to be pald for under arrangements to be made later. Chairman Rosewater was the only official who objected to the proceeding. Mayor Moores and the councilmen were enthusi- astically In favor of going ahead and re- pairing the streets, belleving that such ac- tion will meet with the approval of the people, even though slightly out of order from a legal standpoint. City Attorney Wright, who was present, sald the law was clear that repairing to paved streets can be done only by con- tract; further that all material has to be purchased in this way. As long as no of- ficlal paper is designated, he did not see how any contract could be made that would be upheld by the courts. He urged the board and councll to walt until it was seen whether or not Mr. Grant filod the $5,000 bond demanded In the Injunc- tion case by Thursday noon, when Judge Day sald he would dissolve the injunction if 1t was not flled. Higher by Day Labor. He sald further that in<his opinion the cost of repairs would be increased fifty per cent by day labor, and in case the order is dissolved the Barber Asphalt company will have a claim for damages. Contractor Grant appeared at this time and In answer to questions sald he intend- ed to file the bond and would file it. Comp- troller Lobeck and Bullding Inspector Withnell, majority members of the board of public works, then adopted a resolution authorizing arrangements with a contractor or contractors to do the repairs by day labor and to purchase the necéssary materi- ale. Chairman Rosewater sald he would re- fuse to violate the law. _Mayor Moores said the time had come for decisive measures and that he believed the people would uphold almost any steps that would be taken to overcome “‘the curse of government by injunction.” The board held a second meeting in the afternoon to approve a.list of employees necessary for the asphalt work, In order to submit it to the council fon approval last night. The mayor announced his intention of signing it immediately and Mr. Grant said he would have his men at work this morning. NEW JABBER IN ACTION La Tosca Stick Supersedes the Hate pin as & Weapon of Feminine Dete The overworked hatpin, for year's wom- an's chief weapon of defense, is on the high road to oblivion. Innocuous desuetuds stares it In the face. The star of a new instrument of retaliation for outraged beauty is in the ascendant, and soon the once ever-handy hatpin will be forgotten, except as a contrivance for holding wom- an's headgear in place, The new weapon is the “La Tosca stick,’ or, as it 18 known in New York, the “Alice Roosevelt cane.” It resembles a bandmas- ter's baton in size and shape, and it is ex- ceedingly popular with Chicago women. That it is serviceable as well as orna- mental was discotered last night by Mrs. Charles P. Elliott, 8100 Groveland avenue, Chicago, when she was attacked by & roughly dressed man at Thirty-first street and Cottage Grove avenu “Give me your purse,” demanded the stranger, reaching out his hand and ap. parently expecting ready compliance. “I shall do no such thing,” said Mra. Elliott, calmly. “Give me your purse, or I'll wring your pretty neck.” The words came sharply, but the answer was sharper still. Mrs. Blliott carried one of the new canes, and she brought It into play with surprising agliity. She did not strike, oh, no; she jabbed. Bhe used the cane as a rapier—and the end was pointed with & steel cap or ferrule. The man saw the point promptly, or rather felt it—first in the stomach and then in the face., Jab! Jab! Jab! A howl of rage and pain broke the stiliness of the night, and the man fled. When it was all over Mrs. Klliott sat down on the curb- astone and cried. “He sald he'd wring m-my neck,” she sobbed.

LEWIS A. CROSSETT, Inc., Maler, NORTH ABINGTON, MASS, ELLSWORTA HELD FOR DEED Oharged by Ooroner's Jury with Fatal Btabbing of David Houser. ENGLISH WILL FILE THE COMPLAINT “May Burns” Says Houser Told Her ¥le Would Make Trouble if She Did Not Go with Him, The jury in the coroner's inquest over the remains of David Houser brought in a verdict Monday afternoon, finding Houser “came to his death from the effects of a knife cut and that the knife was in the hands of Charles Ellsworth when the fatal blow was struck.” The county attorney will now file com- plaint against Ellsworth charging him with the commission of the deed. stabbed Bunday night while returning from a dance at Hill's road house, The inquest began at 9:30 o'clock in the office of Coroner Brailey. The following jury was summoned: Messrs, T. 8, Crocker, John Fitzgerald, Willlam White, Murrll Hyland and Wood, County Attorney English appeared for the state and conducted the examination of witnesses. The father and the attorney of the accused also were present. John Fosdick, the young man who was with Houser, the deceased, at the road house and at the spot where he was stabbed, was the first witness examined. He gave his residence as 34 North Twentieth street, South Omaha. Fosdick testified to sub- stantially the story as already published. But few new circumstances were brought out. He said: Fosdick Tells the Story. “Houser and I, with the La Blanche woman, went to the Hill road house about 9:30 Sunday evening. There was a slight estrangement between Houser and Kils- worth over May Burns and hard foelings grew out of this during the evening. Houser went to the road house sore at both Ells- warth and the woman, Hill place shortly beéfore midnight we had proceeded about & mile on our way home when Houser became determined to go back and fight it out. He declared he wns & fighting man and insisted on getting out of the buggy and going back down the road. I followed in the rig. When I came in sight of Houser and Bllsworth, Houser had hold of the bridle of the horse of Ellsworth's rig. Before I got out of the buggy they had scuffied and fallen in the weeds. Houser called to me: ‘John, John, I'm cut!" I tried to pull Ellsworth off Houser. He struck at me with the knife. (Here witness showed rents in his coat which, he alleges, were made by the knife in Ellsworth's hands.) “Houser asked me to take him to town, and I hurried as fast as possible to Dr. Hobbs' office, on Bherman avenue. Houser dled as soon as we got him to the doctor's office." Nature of the Wound. Dr. Hobbs and Dr. Lavender, who held an autopsy over the body of the deceased Monday morning, testified as to the nature of the wound and the Instrument which might make it. In their opinion death was caused by hemorrhage from severing the axilllary artery, the main artery to the arm, Wound was on the left side near the shoulder and penetrated to a depth of tour inches; it was perhaps three inchen long. Could have been made with a large poeket knife, . May Burns, whose real name she informed the coroner Is Alice Edinborough, the “woman In the case” was next called. Bhe said that Houser had tried to start trouble at the road house. Had asked her, while they were dancing together, If she was going home with him, If not he was going to start & fight. Her version of the fight, when Houser recelved the mortal wound from Bllsworth, threw no new lght in that direction. In fact she pretended to know nothing about it at all, and the county attorney was unable to ellelt any information from her County Attorney English says this morn- ing he will file & complaift against Charles Ellsworth, found gullty by the coroner's jury of having fatally stabbed David Hou- ser last Bunday night. Captain Haze says he will hold all witnesses who appeared at the inquisition untfl after such complaint is filed. Numerous acquaintances of the accused man are evincing a great interest in hiy case and he had several callers at the sta- tion yesterday afternoon. One woman, who lves in the house Adjoining the Ellsworth home {n Couneil Blufts, brought Ellsworth bag of frult and cake. She wept bitterly when he came out into the hallway under guard. “It's too bad,” she sald, “he w §00d boy and good to his mother. he will get out all right. The prisoner appears to be little per- turbed. He meets his friends in a matter of fact way. The only new development in the Houser murder case yesterday was the finding of the bloody coat which the dead man wore when stabbed, in the weeds near the Sher- man Lveate beidge by Peter Nelson, 1113 Ames avenue. How the coat came to be there no one seems to know. The knife with which the deed was committed has not been located. The Best Cure for Col Is Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump- tion.

Your body is a workshop and In it are milllons and millions workers—tissue builders. In the stomach nlone there are more than five million of these workers, whose business it is to de- vise the means to bulld the body. If t food you eat is of a poor quality these five million tollers—these five millions of little microscople pepsin makers—strike, and mill and millions of other tissue bullders in other parts of the body alse strike through sympathy. They may strike for but a short time, but it is long enough to throw a lot of the delicate and intricate machinery in that wonderful workshop of yours out of repalr and cause all manner of trouble. The way to aveld labor strikes in the body s to supply that vast horde of arti- saps which bulld It with proper food ma- terial, and for this purpose there is noth- ing mo good as Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit, the only naturally porous food made from wheat, It s llght, crisp, wholesome, and can be digested with e Shredded Wheat makes rich, red blood— blood that makes strong men, women, and children. “1 have used Shredded Wheat Biscults in hospital practice and find the results highly satistactory.
