You would probably be surprised it you took your auto out and made a trip around the city and took pains to stop and examine all the places where you heard the hammer, saw or lathe at work to learn how many things are actually made and marketed from Omaha. As an fllustration, the manufacture of screens, different from the old style, put up by nalling the wood together, but by having / metal corners so your screen is almost in- destructable and once the house is screened and doored it lasts Mmost forever, This firm 18 the Omaha Window Screen com- pany, located at 624 North Sixteenth street, and they claim to be the only exclusive house devoted to this kind of work in the United States.

RECOUNT WILL CONCLUDE TODAY Many lllegal Voters at Primary Who Swore in Votes—Result of Contest 1s Still in Doubt. The city clerk lssued his monthly state- ment yesterday at the close of the seventh month of the fiscal year, showing that the expenditures to date amount to $117,542 and that & balance of $103,006 remains in the city treasury. This money is now for the greater part In the interest and sinking fund, which is swelled by the collections of the city offices in the way of tees and licenses. More than half of the appropria- tion still remains in the general fund, the water fund and the interest fund, but the condition of the funds will require economy In the light, the police and the salary tunds to hold out to the end of the year without the usual boosting. In the street repalr fund all the money has been exhausted, but In the street cleaning fund more re- malns, proportionately, than in any of the other funds.

Rich, C. W. Sears and T. G. Inghram. In these cases the vote is 8o cloge that either party may win. J. H. Devine leads Fred Het- | flinger by. about six votes and Dr. Faulk | by three. C. W, Sears and T, G. Inghram were tied yesterday at the close of the count. C. M. Rich had lost slightly from the vote at the officlal canvass. Of perhaps more importance than any of the individual canvasses is the discovery of many probable illegalities in the 360 0dd votes which were sworn in. A large number of certificates lack the official signatures of the judges and clerks of election, and numbers of those who took the oath before the eity clerk are sald to be Irregular, both in the matter of vouch- ers and in the excuses offered. Of the 300 excuses offered fully 200 gave the rea- son that they were sick. About 100 de- ared they were at work and could not register, althought the polls were open un- til 9 p. m. on each of the three registration days.

One of the most costly visitations was that at the residence of Mr. and Mrs George Bradle: K street. At this home two watches, and a number of valu- able articles of jewelry were taken.
