Clay Clement, the actor-author, who dled | in Kansas City Monday, mourned in Omaha by many admiring friends and especially by two friends of his boyhood, Dr. W. H. Dorward and A. H. Burnett These three went to the same school to- géther at Bl Paso, Il They lived a mile from the village.

Whenever: the actor visited Omaha he always: called his boyhood -friends to his hotel for a luncheon and visit, where they | talked over their school days together. Less than a week ago these Omaha men ecelved letters from Mr. Clement, en- clesing orders for tickets. to see his per- formance at the new Brandels where he was to appear in | weeks. The last time Clement was in Omaha he, Burnett, Dorward and a newspaper friend dined together at the Newy Hanson, then in its bloom. Where'll we go?"' asked Clement they started out of the Merchants. “Let's try the Hanson,” suggested Bur- nett. As they started into the beautiful restau- rant, Clement inquired Where are we? This little place I ever saw." They sat down at a table upstairs in the | front overlooking Sixteenth street. | "“Oh here, boys, 1 don't like this location; it's too public. Can't we get out of the | limelight, back in some corner where | can talk about robbing trains and things? | Ana so they repaired to one of the booths In the rear of the apartment. The four men seated themselves and Mr. Clement expressed a preference that his should be “straight. I never like '‘em mixed."” Whereupon the countenance of a | prominent Omaha clergyman peered over the partition. “Two ministers our next door neighbors," whispered one of the party to Clement “Invite 'em over."

Investigation has turned up another fac- 1or in the high cost of living. Short weights in grocery stores have been making short purses and long bills, ac- cording to John Grant Pegg, inspector of welghts and measures. Precautions began with the convictien of A. K. Nuckolls & Co., Fortieth and Cuming streets, in police court, where a fine of $5 was imposed for short welghts in potatoes. Other complaints have been filed and a whole series of tions is contemplated. A frequent source of difficulty for gro- cers is the general use of a “wet" or liquid measure quart for the sale of dry commodi- ties. There is a distinct legal and quan- titative difference between a quart of mo- Jasses and a quart of shelled peas. Complaints have been filed by Inspector Pegg agalnst G. R. Baker, Twenty-fourth and Seward streets, for the sale of bread in loaves, welghing only fourteen ounces, two ounces under the legal weight. A sim- flar action is, directed against the Pure Foud bakery, 1419 North Twenty-fifth street. H. Lelsge, 2918 Leavenworth street, is charged with tue sale of tweive and a half pounds of potatoes for a peck a legal peck of potatoes should welgh fif- toen pounds. | The case against H.

Sol s all druggists HE quality of the New Rambler is I rare in that it manifests itself in unexpected ways, giving to every little detail of the car the mark of care- ful workmanship and added efficiency. This individuality is the product of broad Rambler experience intelligently applied by skilled Rambler workmen. To this is due the development of those distinctive Rambler features—the Offset Crank-Shaft, Straight-Line Drive, Spare Wheel and new Expanding Clutch.
