Tourist Dept. far Trips Everywhers or local Agents Fanning -Homc; He Says Mercer Will Come Back Comes from Trip to Egypt with Story Ex-Congressman Wants to Try for Office Again. “Dave Mercer is coming to Omaha and run for congress, at least he told me he was,” sald Charles Fanning, who returned Saturday from his two months' trip to Egypt, where he went with J. H. McDon- ald and Louls Metz. Mr. McDonald stop- ped for a couple of weaks in Parls to re- ing via St. Louls and will arrive in = couple of days. ““We had a most delightful trlp, but I don't belleve I would care to take it again because it 1s too hard to talk to the people of the different countries and tell them what you want. It is lots more satistac- tory in Omaha where you can get anything you want,” sald the czar of the Dahlmans last night. The Dahlman club was having a cele- bration in honor of the return of their chlef, but the chief failed to report 50 the celebration went on just the same. “It struck me more the farther we went that we never saw an Amerzcan flag in our travels. From the time we left New York until our return we saw just one and that ‘whs on the private yacht of Mrs. Goelet at Cannes. Not even the consular abroad fly the flag of this country, cept on holldays. “One of the prettiest places we visited was the Madeira Islands. The town fs bullt on rocks which rise in terraces 2,000 feet above the sea with the terraces cov- ered with flowers. They took us up to the town on a cog rallroad and brought us down on sleds which scooted over the smooth lava pavements. “We visited Naples, Alexandria, Cairo and Port Sald. Cairo is a much different city than before the British took hold, for @ man is perfectly safe there now, just as safe as on Farnam street. “One of thuse pyramids hase enough rock and stone in it to bulld a whole city like Omaha. I wondered where it &ll come from. We saw the anclent rulers of Egypt in the museum and visited the town of Messina where about a year ago 120,000 of the 160,000 people who lived there were Kkilled by the earthquake. Mr. Pannipg says he took particular no- tice of the pavements in all the countrie visited. In the old world the same ma- terlals have been in use for ages, a lava formation, but in London they are more and more using wooden blocks.

Herbert Dickout, the ‘“‘early morning bandit” who attempted to hold up the K C. saloon on South Main street and was shot by C. A. Burright, the proprietor, was sentenced by Judge Wheeler in district court Haturday to an indeterminate sen- tence of not exceeding five years in the #tate reformatory at Ananmosa.

Dickout when arraigned in distriet court after his removal to the county jall from Mercy hospital, where he was taken after being shot by Burright, entered a plea of not gulity. He changed his mind since and after consulting with his attorney decided to change his plea to one of gullty. Dickout before attempting the hold-up at the K.

The bullet which Dickout received in the shoulder from Burright's revolver has never been removed, as it was thought best by City Physiclan Tubbs who attended him, that it should remain where it was embedded in the flesh.

With the closing of the oyster season al- most at hand And a decision on the “floated” oyster question soon to be given out, & good opportunity to serape a closer | acquaintance with his majesty, the oyster, |1s afforded. The whole world stands on the tiptoe of expectancy to hear the decl- sion of the legal question, Is a ‘floated’ oyster a ‘fattened’ oyster?” Once It was held that it is not. Then the Jersey mem- bers of congress had the case roopensd Additional testimony; given by Jerseyltes who flocked to Washington to the hearing, was taken, and now Dr. Wiley and his colleag on the Pure Food board are wrestling over the problem. The case in & nutshell is this: A year ago the Pure Food board held that L “floated” oyster was not a ‘‘fattened’” oys- ter. Several things led to this conclusion. In the first place, “floating’’ consisted in gathering oysters from the beds in which they grew, carrying them into brackish water, and leaving them there from twelve hours to two weeks, in floats, where they could drink all the breckish water they wanted to. It was found that In less than twenty-four hours they would grow to twice the natural size of salt water oys- ters. 1t was claimed that they would keep in good condition longer when out of water that they were more pleasing to the eye and to the palate. But Dr. Wiley thought it no more possible to fatten an oyster in a day than to fatten a steer in a week, and |he sald so. To prove it he had rome of {the two kinds bolled, and then weighad |the cooked flesh. He found that the | “floatea" oyster lost 80 per cent more in cooking than the ordinary water oys- |ter, #o he concluded that the so-called fat- tered oyster was nothing more than a common oyster filled with water. The other members of the board agreed with him, and “floated” oysters were declared to be adulterated within the meaning of the pure food law. A few weeks ago the case was reopened and reargued. The Jerseyites, who are principally interested in the ‘floated" oyster question, declared that they had found less than 1 per cent more water in a “floated” oyster than in one not floated, and that the “floated” ones always were free from niud In their “innards” while the others seldom were free from it. They produced the evidence of dealers and hotel men to prove that the public demands “floated” oysters, that they are larger, that they are more toothsome, and that they keep for a long period, while the “unfloated” ones tend to shrivel up and become unsalable after a day out of the water. As the New Jersey oyster crop Is more valuable than the wheat crop, the Jerseyites are greatly interested in the question. When the “floated” oyster question was decided other steps were taken for the protection of the public from Impure oyst- ers. The use of those from polluted beds was forbidden, and the sale of bad oysters prohibited. Likewise the use of unsanitary containers was interdicted, and after next May it will be unlawful to ship shucked oysters with ice or water otherwise ad- ded. Thus will tbe public enjoy advantage during the next oyster season which were unknown heretofore. Few businesses possess more human In- terest than the oyster trade. From the pearl diver of Ceylon to the gatherer of the luscious Lynnhaven bay there is a sort of romance centers about the oyster- man, Whether ylolding the pearls without price or the “box o' aix friends,” which the humble laborer takes home, or “pearl” buttons, the oyster is an interesting, ver- satile and useful animal. Even in the oyster trade the good citi- zen bumps up against the Issue that will not down—conservation. The {nexhaustible beds of yesterday threaten to be the de- pleted ones of tomorrow. Vast plles of shells left in Massachusetts regions by the indians of three centuries ago bear mute but eloquent witness to the extent of the beds that once flourished off Cape Cod, and we are told that America's first MThanksgiving dinner had oysters a a conspicuous feature of the menu. They are no more, Further down the Atlantic coast slightly better methods have obtained and a rea. sonable effort has been made by state and private interests to guard the oyster beds. Luckily the oyster lends itself admirably to a properly wrought out scheme of con- servation. As an egg producer it is to the American hen as an express train on a seventy-mile-an-hour schedule to the slow- est snail that crawls. Some of the best layers can turn out 0,000,000 eggs & sea #on, and just an ordinary, everyday oyster can produce 16000000 eggs a year. It ha been calculated that it every one of thes 16,000,000 eggs were to grow into a mature make a pile of oysters as big as eight oyster through five generations they would horrible death last night at La Por body was terribly mutilated.

Under metheds of artifielal propa« ®ation, which have been proved in the laboratory, If not in the field, the ratio might be brought down a hundred fold, thus permitting each female oyster to mother thousands of little ones In a single season The oyster fs not the oniy dsniwen of the deep that is prolitic. Holding in solution uncounted billlons of tons of fnorganio matter carried down to the sea during the millions of years that have passed, plant life literally bathes itself fn riches of nutri- tion. While the potato may bring forth a hundredfold, its nourishment must come up through a few roots, and drouth and other retarding agencles may retard its growth. But the myriads of microscople plants of the sea produce a millfonfold. Ine desd, w0 prolific are they that If one tyy plant were permitted to multiply u&S. stricted and without the loss of progy through a single week, the whole ocean would become & mass of unnavigable slim To hold this marvelous growth in check is the mission of the animal life of the sea. A single whale may strain hundreds of #allons of water at every gulp, and even an oyster will strain many gallons of water & day. In this way a sort of gigantic bal- ance is struck, the plant life making avail- able for the.animal life the food stores of inorganic life, and In turn belng held from the danger of a glutted market, so to speak, by the enormous demands of the animal life. The oyster is regarded as man's friend par excellence for deep water cultivation. Fish may swim hupdreds of miles away and give little reward for their propagation. But the oyster, after the first short period of free existdnee, spent mainly In looking around for & place on which to bulld its permanent residence, ttles down and spénds the Yest of its natural life at that one place, ready for the oysterman's call at all times. Oysters usually like to get where the tide runs strong, and to them the phra “As happy as a clam at high tide" Is no meaningless expression, for the tide brings them abundant supplies of food. The oyster, like man, is & wonderfully and fearfully made creature. It has all the organs com- mon to antmal life and nearly all of them are centered In its gills, which are the most complete structures imaginable. In them are the pumps which maintain & proper circulation of the water supply; the food collectors that strain the oyeter's bread and meat from the water; the hands that carry the food to the mouth, and the organs of reproduction; together With the nursing chamber where the eggs are brought to that maturity which enables them to live for a time in the open sea. When the baby oyster is hatched it looks around for a while, visiting one place and then another, until it finds & home sit and then settles down and begins to bulld. 1t collects the lime from the water that passes through its strainers and sends it out through a secretion in tiny layers, each Hardening apace, untll the completed house is constructed. When a parasite or & grain of sand gets into a place where it hurts the oyster, immediately a process of enveloping It with a limy formation s begun, the result of which is the oyster pear!. There are many enemies which prey upon the oyster. The drum fish {s very fond of young oysters, as is also the starfish. The former delights to find a planted bed, for there the oysters are smoother and it is easer to crush the shells. Often they will invade a bed and practically destroy it befors their presence is discovered, The starfish travels in great achools, at a spoed of about 10 feet a day. It begins its work of destruction when it i3 no larger than a pin head and keeps it up all through life. It attaches itselt to the oyster and by persistence finally succeeds in tiring it out and forcing an entrance for its stomach, through which it absorbs the julce of the oyster. A dredge conslsting of a dozen mops arranged lke the teeth of a harrow is dragged over the oyter beds when the startish are discovered and they are caught In it, brought to the surface and scalded to death. Some success has attended the artifielal propagation of the oyster and also the fattening of them by the use of corn meal and other substances But In the main the best results have been obtained by the planting of seed oysters and the return of the empty ehells. It s calculated that in the work of gathering and selling oysters more than 100,00 people find a livellhood. Eng- Jand and France and the United States produce perhaps elght-tenths of all the sters used In the world. The American people spend annually something like $40,- 000,000 for oysters, the wholesale value of the output belng upwards of $16,000,000.
