Return from Fishing Trip—Passenger Nebraska GOYERNOR PLAYS | Torrent with Narrow Boards { as Track. ON HIS WAY T0 A PICNIC (From & Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 12.—(Special)—When Governor oMrehead has become tired of | the political game as being too slow, | he may probably secure a good job with Barnum & Balley's cireus and perform | automobile stunts on an aerlal wire or something similar, it having been demon- | trated that fhe governor has some nerve and can deliver the goods. One day this week with his son, Edwin as driver, the executive started for a plenic out in the state. All went merrily untyy they reached a creek where the bridge had been washd away by the high water of the night before. There was | nothing to do but get across some way, and securing a couple of planks about twelve inches wide, the governor and his son managedto get them across the stream where the bridge had formerly atood and with the raging waters about twelve feet below them the machine was run across the creek on the planks, both men occupying the machine as it was driven across.

H.| Mupger, who was a member of the lm-| Pprovement club, Butler Favors the - Fire Alarm Boxes in Business Circle| City Commissioner Butler also is op- posed to the expenditure of $150,000 for the proposed new standard fire alarm sys- tem. He contends that an improved alarm system might installed in the business district ang the needs of the situation covered in that manner, He made this #tatement: “I belleve new boxes might be installed in a district bounded by Twenty-fourth on the west, Leavenworth on the south and Cuming street on the north. There is some merit to the statement of Chief Salter, that these fire alarm boxes should be easily accessible at night time when a telephone is not always handy. This ap- plies to the blsiness district, but in the outer districts telephones are at hand. Last year's alarms show the.general use of the telephone, there having been only nineteen alarms over the fire alarm Dboxes."" Mr, Butler says he stands for adequate have the people issue a call for his serv- ices, but just now he had heard no very great rumbling of the political chariot beining suc ha message to him. The senator admitted Senator Hitch- cock was pretty fairly strong with the| democrats of Madison county, as was also Mr. Bryan, but dodged any ref- erence to the senatorship. The fact that | he took lunch with Maher, a strong sup- porter of Hitchcock, and Harmon, a democratic nomination for the senate, and the ®overnor's political manager, ,Mmay mean something along the present very much mixed democratic situation. Hailstorm in Loup Does Heavy Damage LOUP CITY, Neb, Avg. 12.—(Epecial Telegram.,)—A severe hafl storm passed | through the central part of BSherman county north and west of Loup City and did a great deal of damage to grow- ing cgrn.

Millions Carried - by Union Pacific - and None Killed Reports compiled by the Union Pacific for the fiscal year ending June 30 show that during this period it carried 4,761,9% passengers, a total distance of 518,411,788 miles. The remarkable feature of the re- port is that there was not a single pas- senger killed during the year. A great deal has been written about the average life of the soldiers Ilu the trenches In Europe. It appears that the chances are that a soldier will be killed, ‘wounded or captured within eleven days after golng into the trenches. Compare his chances of being killed with those of riding on the Union Pacific, and you will find that a passenger traveling continu- ously day and night, at the rate of forty miles an hour, would require more than 1,478 years to cover the distance that was traveled by the passengers carried on the Union Pacific last year, without a fatal accident. This distance is equal to more than 20,818 times the circumference of the earth. Finds Joining Navy is Real Tough Job Abraham Mulligan of Fessenden, N.

It all came from an attempt to criticise the program an opera company which gave an entertalnment this week which made some of the stald Methodist maidens blush to the roots of their halr and caused the old deacons to place their hands over their faces and peep at the scene between their fingers. The charge was made that a Methodist platform was no place for such abbrevi- ated costumes as were worn by the fe- male members of the chorus and that the dancing and highfalutin' kicking was en- tirely too naughty for people who came to the assembly for an intellectual treat. The management sought to save itself by stating that the people nowadays wanfed such costumes and that kind of kicking and dancing, and If a religious assembly wanted to draw the shekels to the box office it was necessary to cater to the tastes of the people who attended the assembly. Harman Loses Out in His V_Bakery Suit (From a Statt Correspondenth) LINCOLN, Aug. 13.-—(Special.)® The people of Omaha do not appear to want clean bread in Omaha, but we propose to make 'em take it,”” was the remark of Food Commissioner Clarence this morning, after recelving notice from one of his inspectors that the sult against the U, P. steam bakery for selling bread under unsanitary conditions had gone against the commission. ““This is the second time,” sald the food commissioner, “that we have falled to get, results against leading bakers in Omaha, but, nevertheless, we propose to keep at it and make those fellows keep as close to the line we draw as we can.” About the only satisfaction the com- missioner got out of the sult was that the justice before whom the case was tried charged the bakary people that they were very close to the line and they would have to do better in the future. Meyer Gibenter of Omaha was prose- !culed and fined for keeping canned swect potatoes in spoiled condition at his store for sale. The spolled potatoes were con- | fiscated and will be destroyed.
