THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1889, S e — HEAVY BLOW AT THE COW. | Omaha Yearly Consumes 144,000 Pounds of Oleamargarine. HOW THE STUFF IS MADE. How Handled, Registered, Whole- saled, Metailed and Finally Laid Before the Unsuspects’ ing Hungry Man. Oleomargarine. His makeup would have served as a model for the “Uncle Joshuas'’ and “Uncie Ezras™ of the mimic stage. He came down North Kighteenth street in a lopsided spring wagon much the worse for wear, drawn by a very big horse and a very small mule, The har ness had been built originally for a medium- wized team and appeared sadly out of place in its present use. The harness on the horse was too small and aivers bands had been lengthened by loops of rope, while that worn by the mule was so large that the animal ap- peared in imminent and constant danger of walking out of its trappings. ‘The driver's makeup was in keeping with the general misflt appearance of his turnout. His tangled beard was fil with clover blos- soms and his boots bore indisputable evidence of having been recently intimate with the barn yard. The morning was chilly, and nis hands were eunveloped in a pair of huge home-kmit mittens, He stopved betore a Bee reporter's house and offered for sale some choice country butter that his wife had churned only the night before, displuying at the same time a basiet filled with beautiful pound prints, neatly arranged and wrapped in clean, white cloths, The reporter, with his mind on the kind of butter his mother used to make, laid in a supply and paid the farmer 5 cents pound above market price in the bargain. The re- porter’s pleasure was but short-lived, and the farmer by calling again will hear some- thing decidedly to his disadvantage. ‘The “country butter” was a very rank grade of oleomargarine, artistically colored, and the Sfarmer” has since been recognized as the general manager of a Tenth street fruit stand. The fraud, it appears, has been worked upon residents in various parts of tne city during the past two months, It is one of the methods of dis- pensing of the 12.000 pounds of oleomargarine that is eaten by Omaha citizens every month, There is probably no other article of food ©f which 80 much is used and so little kuown a8 this product of the butcher shop and dairy called oleomargarine, and a fow facts con- cerning the composition of the arucie may be of interest. Oleomargarine—the g has the hard sound a8 in Margaret—is principally an animal fat, from which all fivre is removed and the pro- portion of stearine, palmatin and olein left nearly the same as in butter. ‘This anin fat is obtained from cattle in the process of slaughtering. 1t is melted and the liquid fat separated from the fibrous matter. It1s then subnitt d loaprossing process which remov toe stearine and leaves the product kuown oleo oil, which, when churned with milk or cream or both, and sometimes with a small quantity of creamery butter. yields the product which is marked yas olermargarine. As each beef yields an average of forty pounds of oleo-oil, which would bea waste if not used in this manner, it may readily be seen how the manuracture of olcomarg: rine is profitable, especially when butte prices can be obtained for it, as is often the cuse. Oleomargarine 18 used by ev house, with two exceptions, in the city, by one of the leading hotels, and is kept for sale by three retail grocers. The oleomar- arine used in Omaba comes from Armour's actory at Kansas City and Hammond’s fac- tory at Hammond, Ind. It is haudled here at wholesale by Hammond Bros., of South Omaha aod Peycke Brothers' com and Martyn Brothers, Omaha, commis sion merchants. The books of the revenue coliector shows that the distribution of the product in August amounted to 12,146 pounds. ‘Ihe greater purt of this was sold to the propriotors of the chop houses ana sec- ond class hotels of the city, who appear on the books as regular customers for lots rang- ing from ten to forty pounds daily. Three rotail grocers have licenses to sell oleomar- garine and their names appeared on the rev- enue collector’'s books for small amounts at irregular intervals. Theso were E. N. Brown, Joseph Whalen and Gladstone Broth- ers. A reporter called at each of these stores and asked for elcomargarine. He wus greeted with looks of surprise 1n each in- stance. At two of the stores there was none in stock. The proprietors explained that they did not malke a busiuess of hanaling the stufl, but bought it occasionally for the ac- commodation of boardiug house keepers who wanted it especially, At the third store, the request for the butter substitue was granted, and in exchange for 11 cents the reporter secured a quantity of the mixture in a paper box, with the words, *One Pound Oleomargaring,” em- blazoned in advertising type on oune side of the box. “*We have little or no call for oleomargar- {ne at this time of the year,” expiained the grocer. ‘“Butter is cheap during these months. Along in the winter months when butter goes up, our boarding house patrons call for the substitute, This talk about sell- ing oleowmargarine for butter is all bosh. The inspection rules ave 8o close and the penaltios for infractions 8o severe that the business is entirely oo risky to be done in any way but according to rules,” The law and revenue regulations concern- ing the sale of oleomargarine are very strict Each wholesale dealer pays an annual license of $450 and each retail dealer a yearly tax of $48. The retailersaro not allowed t sell in greater quantities than ten pounds, The ‘Wwholesale dealer must handle the product in original packages, properly stamped on the outside of the package, showing the amount of the contents, The retailer may sell the roduct only inal packages, 'he oleo must be placed, bhowever, in a ‘wooden or paper retailers’s package with the word “oleomargarine” printed thercon in Jetters not less than one fourth of an inch square. The wholesale dealers are required 10 keep books showing the date of the r colpt of every consignment of olcomar- garine, the amount and number of packages, also the duto sold and the name of the purchinser. This report is made once a month to the revenue collector, and enables this ofiiciul to know just what retail dealers are handling the product and in what quan- tities, The sellinz of olecomargarine by re- tailers in any manner but that preseribed, makes the vender hiable to a tine of §2,000 or imprisonment for two years. Phe three wholesale dealers of the product in Omaha do a big business, principally with the chop houses and restaurants of the city, although their reports show that it is shipped in considerable quantities at various seasons to Lincoln, Alliguce, Grand Island, Colum- bus und other Nebraska towns., “Do you sell any oleo to peddlersi” asked of ono wholesaler. “Wo do not,” was the reply. “Our ous- tomers' names are all on our reports and can .ufl.g Lo located." When apprised of the fact that peddiers have been selling oieo in the residence dis- tricts under the guise of country butter, the dealor expressea his surprise and confessed that hejwas puzz! to kuow how the oleo eould get into a peddler's hands, The same problew 18 puzzling other people, e er— Marringe License. .~ A licenso was issued to the following parties by Judge Shiclds yesterday : Name and residence. Plalip Daviels, Omaba, {Annln Erickson, Omahi, P WESTERN ART Afi!(;CIA'l‘lUN. At Di chop was pusses the Feasibility of Start- ing a School in Owaha. There was a meeting of the Western Art association at Mr, G. W. Lininger's art gal lery, corner Eighteenth and Davenport streets, last evening, to discuss the feasibil- ity of starting an art school in Omaba, There was a flue attendance of local artists and persons interested in art matters, and the universal scutiment was that the con- templated school was not only a good, but & very desirable thing. Rev. Dr. Duryea ad- dressed the meeting at length, earncstly ad- vocatiug the move, ‘Ildt\lll'lmldl:bfln v.h: sssociatio necessity of immediate an wmlw"-‘l&:‘n‘.’ Dr. Du{ryu recounted his axperience in art matters in the east, and taiked vary entertainingly for an half hour or more. A, Hospe, M. R. Risdon, Mr, Lin- inger, Mr. Chase, Miss Ball and others, also made brief addrasses, all uniting in_tho be- lief that the proposed school would prove most beneficial as a promotion of art inte- rests in this city. The school is to be established and con- ducted on thesame plan as the art schools of Boston, New York and the other larger eastern cities, and cannot fail in its purposes here where there is such a growing interest in art affairs, A committee consisting of Mr. Lininger as charman, Mrs. Hospe, Mr. Alford, Mrs, George J. Gilbert, Mrs, 'Phil” Stimmel and Mrs, Park, was - ppointed to solicit subscrip- tions to a guarantee fund, and a capital stock of $10,000 to found snd fdraish the provosed school, —_— THE SCAUBER T QUARTETIE. Opening Concert of the Series at ¥. M. 0. A. Hall Last Evening The Schubert quartotte, assisted by Miss Inez Mecusker, soprano, and Miss Georgiella , planist, gave a magnificent concert at the Y. M, C. A. hall, last night, opaning the course to be given under the auspices of the assoclation during the coming season, The programme consisted of twelve numbers, soven of which were en- cored. The quartette dered “Comrades in Armes,” Schubert's “Serenade,” “Annio Laurie,” “Remember Now Thy Creator” and were encored after each effort. Miss Lay's fano solos, Chopin’s Rondo in E flat and Persian March,” are faultiessly ren- dered and evoked applauso. Tho fea- tare of the programme, however, without disparging the other artists, was the singing of Miss Inez Mecusker. This Indy has a voice of remarkable range and sweet- ness and rendered her selections in a most charming manner, The attendance was large. s AMUSEMENTS, Paul Potter paced nervously about the lobuy of Boyd's opera house last night, anx- ious regarding the fate of his dramatic crea- tion 'he Fakir,” When Mr. Potter, as- sisted as he was by Harry S. Hamlin, evolved and put into shape this enthusi- astic child of his feverish brain, it was full of tender sentiment, beautiful pathos and quiet, unobtrusive com- edy, but lacked drawing powers. It pleased inteligent people and was pronounced a great literary success by dramatic critics, but the public wouldn't have it. An excel- lent eomvany, headed by Tnomas O. brook, with his charming wife Miss Elvia Crox, Miss Jessie West, Miss Nollio [d- munds, Leslie Fdmunds, Charles V. Sea’ men, Joseph M. Doner and half a dozen very pretty girls, who sing splendidly and dance well to support him was organizod and sent on the roud. They tried the picce and it failed to give satisfaction financially, consequently had to be remodeled, made into a farce-comedy so liberal as to permit of the introduction of as much stage business as the company may wish to interject. ‘Ihe new version was given its second pre- sentation last npight and Mr. Potter came ull the way from Chicago, accompanied by Jobn Hamiin, manager of the Grand opera house, to see1t. 'They, as well as the large audience, were favorably impressed and enjoyed the entertainment’ immensely. Nearly every member of the organization, and 1t is comvosed of first cluss artists, enlivened the progress of the play at frequent intervals with specialty work, which -proved an immense feature and kept the spectators in splendid humor, Mr. Seabrook’s representation of Seth Boker, ‘the Faker,” was notonly clever m conception, but artistically funay, and productive of much merriment.” The singing and dancing indulged in by Miss Crox, Miss West, Miss Sally Cohen and others is deserv- ing of good mention, and to Charles V. Sea- men belongs the credit of bringing down the house with his impersorations. Sixth Ward Democrats. The democrats in the Sixth ward were compelled to stand up last night while a little routine work was transacted. Judge Bernard Sachsee was chosen presi- dent, W. E. Hughes and Harry Gilmore vice-presidents, George W. Tierney, secre- tary, and Barney Boyle treasurer. As an executive committee the chair named T. K. O, Briea, Barney Boyle and John Reed. I'wenty-five names at 25 cents each were en- rolled. Resolutions of respect for the late Senator John T. Poulsen, who was a member of the club, were adopted. Regular meetings will be held in the future on Monday night at Twenty-sixth and Lake streets, e Ninth Ward Democrats. Three old-fashioned lanterns lighted asmall room in the second story of a building at the corner of Lowe avenue and Hamilton street last night. It was the occasion of a gathering of Ninth ward democrats. F. W. Sunpson presided, Frank Zimmer acted as secretary and W. A. L. Gibbon introduced by-laws which were unanimously adopted. Only a quorum was present but a cheerful word was spoken for democracy, and the love feast did not ad- journ until a late hour. The democratic candidates present were Barney McGinnis, who wants to be county commissioner, and Tommy O'Brien, the young democratic us- piraut for county clerk. —— Knights of Pythias. The officers of the Omaha regiment, Uni- iform Rank, Knights of Pychias, held a meet- ing at the rooms of Oriolelodge, in Boyd's opera house, last nuight.

A dress parade will be held in the coliseum building in about ten days, in which the en tire regiment will take place, All the divi- sious ure reported in first class condition and doing good work. The resignation of Colonel Burrell has been forwarded to Major General Carnahan, Tlus will create a vacancy which will no doubt be followed by a number of promotions. ik Object to the Division, It is understood that a large number of voters in the Sixth ward will present a num- erously signed protest to the council to-day remonstrating against the division made for a new voting precinct in that district, They desire the east boundary line changed from Thirtieth to Thirty-third street, mak- ing an offset at. Franklin, thence east to ‘Thirtieth and south to Saunders. This, they claim, will not oniy equalize matters but en- able the voters on the east side of Walnut Hill to more easily reach the voting place in the old precinct than they could in the new one. e e The Skipper Arreated, Pat Rockbud, otherwise known as the “Rocky Mountain Skipper” was arrested last night charged with abusing his family. Itappears that the Skipper filled his frame with oil of spike early last evening and went howe and chastised his spouse and youngest child with a brick and an axe helve, She scresmed and fought back, obut Pat and bis axe belve were too much and a policeman wius called, Patrick will plead guilty this morning. B itobbed in St, Joseph. W. 8. Maupin, & mail agent of this city, who runs between Omaha and North Platte on the Union Pacific was held up in St. Jo- seph Sunday night and robbed of $34.

When Tug Bre carrier boys delivered tho paper ¢ the building was dark and the first door was found ajar. The fact was ro- ported at once and an investigation by the police led to the discovery that the safe had been burglarized, The bury lars had offected an entranco by breaking in a roar window. The safe in which the funds of the establishment are kept stands behind the bar about midway between the front entrance aod the rear, and is screened by a partition. The combination had not been turned on, and it was an easy job to force open the wooden drawers, In their anxiety to get all there was in it the thicves tore out all the internal a ngements of tho safe, There was about $300 cash in the money drawer and four or five gold watches and several chains. It was supposed that one very costly watch belonging to a well-knowa Omaha man was in the safo and was taken with the other booty, but it was discovered later in the day that it was not in the safe but in safe hands. It was reported that a large number of dinmonds were in the safe, but this also proves to be a mistake. The total loss will probably not excoed 500, The work was evidently performed by sneak thieves and although no cluo has yet been obtuined it 1s probuble thethieves will be caught.
