AFFAIRS AT SOUTH ONAHA Republicans Well BSatisfied with Registration Figures. CLOSE WATCH. KEPT AT BOOTHS Democrats Think Thelr Showing Light—f1, B, Finney Says Pack- ers Lost Out by High Prices. While the names recorded at the regis- tration Saturday apparently were legiti- mate, with perhaps & few exceptions in two or threa wards, in these cases a very careful examination 1§ to be made and men will be merit out to check up every name before ‘stection day. The registration added about 500 to 500 names to the lists as nearly as could be estimated 4t headquirters of'the republi- cans. It fs thought the republicans regist- ered as many as could be expected. At headquarters it is reported that the politicans of the democratic purty are do- ing thelr best to make capital out of the use of the Australian ballot. The rank and file of the party do not object to the Australian system. The poll- tielans fear.that there will not be so many straight tickets voted and that is the thing which hufts thém most. Everything looked well yesterday at re- publican headquarters, More registered than had been counted on and this was the first day ‘when the general feeling of the people could be tested. There is com- plete harmony in the republican camp. Democrats Fearful. The democrats were not so well satisfied with the registration. ‘It looks pretty light to me,” said W. H. Queenan, the candidate ftor mayor. “There should be more." Where tHey went to is conjecture. Tt is possiblo that some of the expected ones did not ddre to put in an. appearance, when it was Jearned that all attempts at fraud would be probed.. In addition to the watchers of! the parties ‘the South Omaha police depaftment ‘had ‘a police officer at cmch booth with Instructions to prevent all attempts wt fraud or any irregularity. It is Belleved “‘that the irregular vote, if dny, will be confified to a very few. A great deal of the Irregularity will probably be in giving the wrong party affilation, which in ftself fs not the worst feature of former registrations. It is expected in Bouth Omaha that fully 200 democrats of the city will register republicans for reas- ong best knowri to' the inside cirel Swift and Company to B Swift and Company will érect two build- ings this summer, Thée first to be con- structed will be a new tank room for the lard department. This bullding will be of fire-proot _construction, ' five storles in height and will be of a dimension of about 8 by 100 feet, It will beeupy the site of the present tank room which s being torn out. The second bullding will be a bone house of similar corstruction, five stories high and with slightly less width than the tank room. The construction will take until midsummer. The bore house was wrecked at the last fire, Which occurred a week ago. The force Is at work tearing out the remaining parts of this building. Packer's View of Prices. H, E. Finney of Armour & Co. has a version of high prices and also has in- formation which shows that the United States is not by any means the country of highest prices. He said: “It is common for the unthinking and the uninformed to blame all the present prices of meats on the American packers and. to charge that it is the monopoly of the business which has caused. the trouble. I can tell you straight that the packers could have made far greater profits thiy year had there been much lower prices, for all classes of stock. It is & fact that when prices are at a high point and still advancing that the margins of profit arg cut to the very lowest point by the fighting of the retdll dealer against any advance to him. ‘The packer is forced to buy at an advance, but the retaller will tight any higher price to the last ditch. “It is_necessary for the packing com- pany's road men to quote the very lowest Tate to the retaller before he can land an order. Everything '1s kept in a strained condition at that end. Tt is this narrow margin which has caused many of the in- dependent packers to shut down. Al of the question of pricés is not contained within the borders of Amlerica. How is it that American meats ‘can compete with those of Burope? It I8 because prices are |’ " higher there for the same grades, Here i3 a telegram whith shows what was paid ten days ago in sevén Huropean countries for hogs and ybéu can see by referring back that Amerfcan prices at that time were mueh lower. It is in Denmark and England that most of the “Hdg# of Burope are slaughtered and’iHiére we find prices up to $11.00 teti HuyW aig!’ Some mistake has been made in forfer publications because most forelgn meat Is quoted at the dressed meat rete as'you seée in ‘this telegram: LBV TORK: Mareh u.‘ummy dear Mr. nney: -1 weeall a fow 'S and T exchanged wires' gn (ho Comparative cost of live hogs in lcago and other rts of world 'and”since that tim a8 devel shat. the quotations we get here from forelgn marl 6. are for dressed ight, whnnqut. haVe always figured them on a live I presume you like to be , Just as a matter of neral interest, and' 1 glve bou elow the Parket Nows: Belglum Bweden .

A man who registered under the name of Gus Willlams at the Metropolitan board- ing house, Twelfth and Douglas streets, Friday night, but of whom nothing else s known, lles there in a critical condi- tion. He was ound Saturday' night about 9 o'clock by Mike Foley, another boarder, in his room overcome by mas. He had not been seen since the previous' night at 12 o'clock, and as the gas jet was only partly turned off the surmise is that the wind blew the light out and that in the Intervening hours Willlams had been In- haling the deadly vapor. On the occurrence being reported to the police station he was attended to by Assistant Police Surgeons Btandeven and Loveland and there is hope of his recovery. There is the fear that he has contracted pneumonia and an at- tack of this in his present weak condition may prove fatal. ‘s Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of coughs, colds and.croup.

A number of residences which were in the same block were threatened on account of & high wind blowing, but the efforts of the fire department were directed In protecting them. and they escaped without damage.

A two days' search has been carried on without result by the sheriff's office in an endeavor to locate a horse thief who stole a team of horses from John P. Peterson of Honey Creek, Ia. Friday morning Peterson found that a team of horses valued at $450, a spring wagon, a set of harness and four bushels of corn had been stolen from his barn near Honey Creek. He immediately notified the | sheriff of Pottawattamie county, but it was found that the thief had made his way to Omaha, croseing the Douglas street bridge Friday morning between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock. Sheriff Brailey was notified and put Deputy Sheriff M. B. Thomas on the trall. Detective Deversee of the city police force was also put to work on the case. A clue that the team had been sold to a horse dealer at Seventeenth and Capitol avenue was run down by the offioers, but avalled nothing. A rumor that the man was seen making his way through Benson and Irvington took the officers in that direction, but after scouring the surrounding country In an automobile, no sign of the fugitive was seen. The team that was stolen is described as follows One 4-year-old mare, welght about 1,00, dark bay and two white feet; one bay mare 6 years old, weight about 1,100, having four white feet and white stripe on fdce. A reward of $0 has been offefed by Mr. Peterson for the capture of the thief. The owner was tireless in his efforts to run down the thief and hired the automo- bile at his own expense. With George Moore as chauffeur the officers made flying trips to Calhoun, Bennington, Arlington and back to Benson, but their efforts were frulitiess, Master Plumbers Solder Bonds Banquet at Rome Held to Bind Ties of Business and Form Better Organization. Business combined with pleasure consti- tuted the program of the annual banquet of the Omaha Master Plumbers' association which was held in the Rome hotel Satur- day, but the business was shorn of those anroying features which ure characteristic of the plumbers' trade when a hundred calls are keeping the wires humming and there is no one at hand to stand in the breach or caulk the leak, although the con- sideration for the service is a blank check. It was simply a discussion of the value of organization and that .in the agreeable environment of a cigar and of ease after a well rerved, tasty meal. To help the discussion and to enjoy the feast visitors were present from various parts of the state as well as from lowa, Kansas, Illinols, Pennsylvania and Canada. The toastmaster was Hollls M. Johnson secretary, and T. J. Lynch, chajrman of the banquet committee. During the dinner music was supplied by Jones' orchestra, and T.
