's Positive Clearing Out Sale | AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Businesy at Packing Houses Unusually @Good for This Time of Year LARGE EXPORT ORDERS EXPECTED SOON Meat for sotdters 1a Philippines Will Be Shipped from Magie City In Large Quantities in the | sprin Local packers say that while business s unusually good for th's time of the year, | there is little export business. Inquiry at the different plants in South Omahi shows that there are but few shipments | being made to the Philippines or for that | matter to any of the army posts in the far | east E. A. Cudahy sald yesterday that be had filled all of the blg guvernment orders and that only small quantities of canned meats were being shipped by his company to Manila at the present time. The Swifts and Armours are In the same pceition There is & moderate demand from the gov- ernment for: supplies packed at South Omaha, but no orders of exceptional size. One of the packers sald that large orders from the government were expected about March 1. These orders will have to be specially prepared for the foreign trade and will consist mostly of extra cured hams and bacon. Some eanned meat will also be used, and a large proportion of this will be packed here by Cudahy. During the past year all of the local packers have sent large quantities of sup- plies to tne Philippines and preparations lare now being made at the local plants for the flling of the large orders which are expected to come from the government early in the spring. The smoke houses of all the plants are | now filled with meats being cured in antic- [ Ipation of heavy orders for hollday times and the beef butchers are doing their best to tastily dress corn-fed steers for the hollday trade. Clerk Advertises for Supplies, City Clerk Shrigley is advertising for bids for supplies to be furnished the va- rious city departments. He wants bids on stationery, peddlers’ tags, drugs, ete. Sup- plies for the fire department and lumber for the street department will also be re- quested. As the form of the advertise- ment is 8o vague, no specfal amount belng specified, it is feared by city officials that but few bids will be received. Until re- cently it has been the custom to buy in the open market, but when the bidding propesition came in under the new charter it was found unsatisfactory. The chances are that it will have to prevall until there 18 a change in the regulations. One point that holds bidders back Is the provision which permits the coungil to reject any or all bids. ‘Templeton Goes South, R. A. Templeton of Tekamah, Neb., was a seller at the stock yards yesterday. He disposed of a large bunch of sheep which he fed and sold at a good price.

Mr. Templeton Is considered one of the most successtul sheep feeders in the staf Catholic Order Entertal Last night the Catholic Order of Forest- ers gave an entertalnment and soclal at the troop armory.

O'Connor, Miss Maud O'Nell, Thomas M. Halloran, Miss Kearney and Miss Daugh- erty. Four Women Jail: Yesterday the police arrested four women who were alleged to be of the half world. They were frequenting saloons in resorts on Raflroad avenue and the police were forced to make the arrests because of disorderly conduct. The women spent the night in Jail and will be brought before Judge King today for sentence. Farmers Are Negligent. Farmers driving in from the country with teams are careless about the weltare of thelr live stock. Within the last few days the police have picked up a Bumber of teams on the streets which were standing without blankets for several hours. In such cases the owner of the team is not only fined in police court, but he is compelled to pay for the keep of his team at a livery barn while it is beld there. Some farmers come into the city and hitch their horsea and then go on to Omaha on the cars, and trequently they forget to come back. The local police do mot propose to see teams sufter during the cold weather, and conse- quently policemen ou beats have instruc- tions to shelter horses left standing for any length of time without blankets.

Catarrh s the short route to consump- tion, and the importance of early and judi- clous treatment of catarrh, whether located in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, can- not be too strongly emphasized. The list of catarrh cures is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered, numerous and ' confusing, from sprays, inhalers, washes, olntment and salves to powders, liquids and tab! The tablet form is undoubtedly the most conveniegt and most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your system, the proprietors, while making all sorts of clalms as to what their medicines will do, always keep It a close secret as to what and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, 1s largely because it not omly cures catarrh, but because catarrh sufferers who used these tablets know what they are taking inte thelr systems, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets being composed of Red Gum, Blood Root end similar valuable and antiseptic in- grodients, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have accomplished in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting ioto your stomach is of paramount fmportance when it is remembered that the cocalne or morphine habit has been fre. | quently contraeted as the result of usiug tarrh remedtes. Catarrh Tablets meet with cordial approval from physiclans, because thelr antiseptic character fectly safe for the general and their composition makes them & com- mon sense cure for all forms of catarrhal troubles.

Protest When Court Takes Him from Foster Parents, At 6 o'clock last night Kenneth Cooper, aged less than 3 years, was carried through one exit of the county court house, kicking vigorously at the mother who gave him birth and who then «lasped him io ber arms. At the same moment there passed out, by another door, 4 woman who is not related to him, yet after whose retreating figure he walled the endearing word “mamma! mamma!"’ The second woman was sobbing audibly and leaning upon the arm of her husband, almost as much af- fected as was she. For very obvious rea- sons Judge Guy R. C. Read of the district bench made his exit through a third door at the same moment, pondering perhaps over the law that forced him to cause the separation that had occasioned such a well- ing of tecr The judge’s decision had been given after a long day of testifylng and arguilng in the habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Maud Cooper to secure the restoration of her oftspring. Papers on file in the office of the county judge show that eighteen months ago, when Kenneth was 10 months old she had affixed her signature to a docu- ment in which she stated that her husband dled August 9, 1900, and that she gave her permission to the Child Saving institute to glive Kenneth into the custody of John An- drew Salis and his wife for all future time. On the stand yesterday she denled that she bhad knowingly sworn to ber husband's being dead, and explained that he had been merely long absent and is now with her again and anxious to bear his share of the parental burden. The husband in question, ‘who, like all the other parties to the sult, 18 colored, di appear to be very anxious sbout that, or anything else on this mun- dane sphere, but willing to take whatever the judge and his wité dealt him. On the stand he admitted that he had been con- siderable of a wanderer and penetrated into the jungles of the unknown, even as far as 8t. Joseph, Mo. When the judge made his ruling he rep- rimanded the course of this wayward hus- band and father, but held that the latter’s right to his child still existed and must be considered, no matter what papers the mother may have signed and notwithstand- ing the very godd care given the infapt by Salls’ wife and by Salls himself, who is a butcher employed by Armour. The child therefore went from the adopted mother he had known eighteen months to the natural mother he had forgotten. The latter is a domestic at the home of Attorney W. M. McFarland, who acted her counsel in this case, declaring that he knew her to be a good and deserving woman and that the baby mow in controversy was born in his hou Attorney Henry Murphy, for the Salls interests, will ask a new trial on the ground of faulty evidence. LEAVES SOME FOR ENGLISH ty Attorney “Shiclds to Dispose of Only One of the Sonth Omaha Bribery C A determination, reached after spirited controversy before Judge Baxter of the dis- trict bench yesterday afternoon, makes it most probable that George W. Shields will prosecute Alonzo V. Miller on benalf of the state and that James P. English, suc- cessor to Shields in*the county attorney's ofce, will bave to prosecute Kubat and Schroeder, the other members of the South Omaha school board against whom there still stands chary of accepting bribes from teachers for voting for a r in the latter's lalaries, and from a typewriter company for putting in its machines. Mil- ler's trial put over until Monday, De- the holidays so soon fol- term expires December 81, he will mot, it |s thought, have opportu- nity to complete the list of prosecutions incidental to the alleged boodling. Ed P. Smith and N. C. Prett, counsel for the defendants In all the c stated to & reporter yesterday, just before the Miller case was called, that they intended to fight the prosecution at every turn, and their first move was an attempt to prevent the county attorney's eecuring permission to bave endorsed on the complaint as a wit- D the name of A. L. Lott, secretary of the board. They argued the poiot all morn- ing and upon being overruled, promptly filed an afidavit asking continuance, on the ground that the introduction of Lott itness would be a surprise to them, it done at once, and that they needed time in which to prepare the new portion of detense, The county attorney retaliated that he did not see why they should make such request, as the state intended to use Lott and his books only to show how the board members voted on the proposition to ralse teachers’ salaries. Smith and Pratt de- clined to enter into argument and the judge offered them until mext Monday. Smith then stated that he would be busy for some time in Clay county, so the date was finally fixe December 32. Smith and Pratt then demanded that the county attorney either proceed immediately with the prosecution of Kubat, or else agree to a coutinuance “in order that Mr. Kubat may not be kept continually dancing attendance upon the county prosecutor's pleasure and convenlence.”” They expressed & willingness to proceed at once with the Kubat cases, but the county attorney said be was determined to have Miller's case tried firet and would take the ‘‘continuancs bhorn of the dilemma.” BEoaglish, therefore, will find & legacy awaiting him when he steps into office. In court yesterday were many South Omaha teachers and their friends, as well as Detective Baer of Ohicago, who worked BEE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11 1902, ALL ART—NO ADVERTISING WATER-COLOR PORTRAITS OF MRs.

Opposes Incorporation of Unions. Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer- fcan Federation of Labor, speaking of the claim that unlons should be incorporated, sald the suggestion was made for the pur- pose of affording an opportunity to mulet them In damages. One of the greatest complaints organized labor had against employers was re- fusal of many to meet and discuss their grievances with the men. Alfred Moseley sald If America should attempt to work upon the eight hour plan the result would brh bout a deplorable industrial condition as long England sad Germany continued the ten-hour day. 0. C. Barber, president of the Diamond Match, company, declared that present high standards among American workmen were not due to the labor unidhs, but to men 1n all branchas of busipess. Great Britain bad lost its industrial supremacy because of the strength of trades unfons, which, he sald, ware going contrary to the law of least resistance. The afternoon session began with an ad- dress by Frederick Driscoll, commissioner of the American Newspaper Publishe sociation, in which he presented a resume of the efforts of his assoclation to reach an understanding with the unions to pre- vent strikes and bring matters of dis: ment to arbitration.

He declared himself opposed to compul- sory arbitration. The solution of the labor problem would result from the conference of employers and employes, with the one desire to do what was best for both. The committes then went into executive session and edlected the following officers: nator Marcus A.

Balley, better known as “Tank Kee,” the lecturer who has traveled the United States for the past twenty-five years, discoursing upon China and subjects pertaining to that coun- try and its {ohabitants, died suddenly Wednesday noon at the Drexel hotel. He had arrived in Omaha from the Black Hills and was to have lectured In South Omaha December 15 and 16. He was subject to beart fallure, and his death is said to have been due to that afiiction, though it is claimed that a slight overdose of chloral which he is sald to have sometimes used, hastened his demise. He predicted death during the morning and shortly be- tore noon asked to have C. W. Brainard, missionary of the state for the Baptist denomination, t to his bedside. At noon his prediction proved true. The deceased was the possessor of a fine col- lection of Chinese curios. He was 64 yecrs of age and is survived by & wife, who re sides in Waterville, Minn.
