Balzac Dies So Will Not Attend the Pet Show Next Week Eugene Stanley, 13-year-old boy, living at 3816 North Nineteenth street, is overwhelmed with grief. His pet clam died Monday night. Balzac —that's the clam’s name—was to have been entered in the Kountze Park playground pet show on Au- gust 24, ~ Master Stanley had been looking forward with considerable in- terest to the event. He had planned to exhibit Balzac in a cage. The boy's father removed some of the gloom from the home by promising to get another clam for the pet show. There may be other clams, but there was only one Balzac. He—or she-——or it—was an exccptionlllfi This bivalve mollus! had such cunning ways, and what it lacked in noise it made up in expres- sion. A regular motion picture clam was Balzac, Eugene fed Balzac carefully and had him ready for the blue ribbon class when his pet caught cold and died during the night, It died during the stillness of the night when all of the Stanley household was asleep. Superintendent English of the pub- lic playgrounds states this was the only pet clam which had been entered at any of the pet shows scheduled for the playgrounds during the next few weeks. Mr. English commiser- ated the Stanley boy on his loss and offered to help him get another clam in time for the Kountze park pet show. V/holesale Prices 0f Ice Cream Jump Ten Cents a Gallon Woe be unto the delightful damsel who adores the frothy ice cream soda 4. |fair. and the cooling sundae and the small boy who delights to clap his lips over the mellow ice cream cone. The price of ice cream is going up. A Already the wholesale price of this ‘delicacy has been advanced. Omaha manufacturers have announced a gen- eral advance of 10 cents a gallon all along the line on creams and ices: All of the manufacturers and jobbers in the city have made the boost. Like all manufacturers who have raised their prices the ice cream men attribute the advance to the Euro- pean war, which has caused increases in the cost of cream, sugar, gelatine, _ | colors, extracts and all the other raw materials used in the making of the frozen dish. Formerly a standard price to re- tailers was 75 cents a gallon. This was the most popular grade of ice cream, al(houghég ain ice cream was sold as low as 60 cents and as high as $1. Now dealers will have to pay 85 cents for their vanilla ice cream and chocolate and strawberry will cost 90 cents, Ices will also cost 90 cents and bricks $1.10 per gallon in quarts, Pints and sliced bricks will cost $1.20. And thus is the S-cent ice cream soda due to disappear, the nickel cone will contain less ice cream and a smaller scoop provide the cream for chocolate sundaes and happy thoughts. Specials to Carry Locals to Omaha Day at State Fair Special trains will be run to Lin- coln and return Thursday, September 7, to carry the Omaha crowds that will attend Omaha day at the state September 7 has been decided upon as Omaha day. Representa- tives of the Commercial club, Ad club, Real Estate exchange, Rotary club and other organizations met with the bureau of publicity to go over the general plans. Besides the regular schedule on the Burlington road, there are to be two special trains. The specials leave Omaha at 8 and 9:45 o'clock, res})ecb ively, returning at 7:30 and 1:30 o'clock. The other regular trains on the Burlington are 7:10, 8:20 and 9 a. m. Returning they ledve Lincoln at 4:30, 6 and 10 p. m. If the roads are in good shape at that time a great caravan of auto- m?biles is expected to tour to Lin- coln.

(Continued From Yesterday.) “Hold up, Olgal” he called, the truth suddenly dawning on him. “Those are not our fellow * * *they’re strangers * * * we had better not go any nearer until we find out who 'hfi’ are and what they want.” e was not kept long in doubt as to the strangers' intentions, for, as they pulled ug their ponies, a rifle cracked and a bullet kicked up a spurt of yellow dust within a yard of Mor- ton. “By heaven!” he shouted, “it’s the bandits! And they've cut us off from the ranch! Our only chance is to reach No. 4 camp. There are half-a- dozen of Ellsworth's men there and if we can get there we will be safe. But we will have to ride like blazes to make it.” Suiting the action to the words, he whirled his pony, drove his purs into its flanks, and, callously abandoning Olga to her fate, went racing up the valley in a desperate attempt to escape. Olga, whose mount was old and slow, had not gone a quarter of a mile before she was overtaken by the bandits and a bearded ruffian, leaning from his saddle, caught her bridle and pulled her horse to a standstill. “Keep quiet and you won't get hurt, miss,” he said, “but’if you try to get away it'll go hard.” “What do you want of me?” she demanded, showing no sign of the terror that she felt. “Where are you going to take me?” “We're goin' to take you to call on Captain Carrillo, lady,” a rat-faced fellow answered with a_leer. Only two of the gang had paused to capture Olga; the rest had continued in pursuit of Morton, who was riding up the valley at top speed. “Stop or we'll shoot!” roared the black-mustached fellow who was evi- dently the leader ‘of the band, raising his rifle, but Morton, panic-stricken, only rode the harder. Crack! The bandit’s weapon spoke and the bullet whined hungrily past Morton’s head. The next bullet struck the horse. A moment later the bandits swept up in a cloud of dust. “Hands upl” sang out the leader, leveling his rifle at Morton, who was nervously fumbling for his revolver. A led horse, bearing on its flank the Bar-E brand, was brought up; the saddle was transferred from the wounded animal to the stolen one, , | mornin Submarine in Flanders,” “The Road te " “Vive I Copyright, 1916, by E. Al owell. and Morton, his hands bound, was hoisted into the saddle. Olga and her_clp(ors having now come up, the entire patty turned into the canyon. After an hour of brisk riding the steadily increasing roughness of the country compelled the bandits to slacken their pace to a walk, at which gait they continued until long after darkness had fallen. At last, when Olga and Morton were reeling in their saddles from exhaustion, they entered a small, rock-walled valley, through which ran a mountain stream, and the leader of the party, drawing rein, gave a signal to dis- mount. “We're goin’ to stop here until he said, approaching his two captives. “Here's a couple of blankets for you. If you don't try to get away you won't be hurt * * * but 'gf you make a break, God help ou. “Do you think there is any chance of our being rescued?” whispered Olga to Morton, as she tried to wrap her aching body in the blanket. _ “They must have started search- ing for us when we didn’t show up | at the ranch for supper,” he answered gloomily, “but they won't have any means of knowing which way we . | have gone.” “Yes, they will,” she whispered. “I thought of that and, when we re- turned up the canyon, I <ropped my handkerchief on the ground without the bandits noticing.” “Good work,” commended Morton. - - . . . - L] . When supper time at the ranch came and went without the return of Olga and Morton, their host be- came worried, and when darkness fell and there were still no signs of them, his worry changed to down- right alarm. He was, in fact, on the point of ordering out a searchin party when his fears were confirme by a cowboy who pulled his reeking pony to its haunches before the ranch house door, “The feller and the girl that's been stayln' here—" he began breathless- y. “Yes, yes,” interrupted Ellsworth. “What about them?” “Carrillo’s got 'em!” “Are you sure?” the ranch owner demanded. “Hell, of course I'm sure,” the cow- boy snorted. “Didn't I see it hap- pen?” “Which way did they go?’ demand- ed Ellsworth, buckling on a cartridge be}t and revolver. “Up the Costilla canyon,” the cow- boy answered. “It's Carrillo’s gang, right enough,” said Ellswogth, “and it'll take some hard riding if we are going to catch up with them.” Half an hour later Ellsworth, fol- lowed by a score of cowboys arm to the teeth, was clattering up the valley toward the mouth of the Cos- tilla canyon. At the head of the can- yon, however, the pursuers were compelled to pause, for from this point two trails led into the moun- tains and, in the darkness, it was im- ossible to tell which of them the andits and their captives had taken. As they were discussing the question one of the cowboys spied something white lying on the ground. It wasa woman’s handkerchief. “We're on the right trail, boys,” cried Ellsworth, * * - * Ld Ll * The first faint light of dawn was ilding the peak of the Sierras when Iga and Morton were roughly awak- ened by their captors and ordered to mount. As the little cavalcade slowly made its way up the trail, which had now become extremely steep, a rifle shot rang out amid the trees below. A second shot followed and then an- other. Five minutes later one of the bandits who had been acting as a rear- guard came hurrying up. Around his head was twisted a handkerchief on which was a splotch of crimson. “The unchers!” he gasped. "'Thle?"re right behind us—twenty of em!' (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) Many New School Houses Are to be Built Over State The open season is on for building school houses over the state.

COUNTY MAY APPEAL CASE Douglas county’s road bond issue; ~ providing for the issuance of paving bonds for $1,500,000 and grading bonds of $250,000, has been held ille- 7 gal by Judge Charles Leslie of the | district court in a decision just hand- | ed down, The case will be appealed to the supreme court by the county commis- sioners. According to the decision the con-, - stitutionality of the acts of 1870 and 1875, under which the municipalities of the state have been operating for more than a generation, is attacked. Judge Leslie's decision sets forth that the bonds did not secure a two- thirds majority of the total votes cast at the primary election and for that reason are ineffective. The decision further states that had the road bond election been held on a day apart, from the primary election and a ma- jority of votes given the bonds, they. . would have carried. In effect the decision declares that a two-thirds majority is required when the bonds .! are voted on at a general election, but that if held at a separate elec- tion only a majority is required. Considers Two Months. 3 Judge Charles Leslie handed down the road bond decision after consid- ering the case for nearly two months. Two bond issues were submitted to Douglas county people on April 18 at the spring primaries, Two issues pro- vided for the grading and improving of main thoroughfares, one calling for the issuance of bonds for $1,500,- 000 for surfacing the roads with brick and the other for $250,000 for grad- ing, Both issues carried by a small majority, neither receiving a major- ity vote of the total number of ballots. .. cast at the primnrfv.
