Tind owt what | Street car trafic was | Amelie and Theresa, two blue-eyed in- fants, who are being nourished with milk provided by The Bee free milk and fice fund, lost their father Wednesday. He |died of typhoid fever at St. Joseph's hospital. Blissfully ignorant of their | loss, the youngsters smile sweetly Amelie is but § months old, while Theresa has not yet had her second birthday. Until four weeks ago, when the father was taken 1ll, the family lived humbly but happily on the father's modest carunings in the bottling depart- ment of a local brewery. Whén he was | stricken, doctors’ bills and medicines ate up the tiny bank account, and when the |mother's strength could no lonil‘r bear | Sardine Can Source of Much Grief Has Had Long Journeys A sardine can which has travelled ex- tensively during the last two years, and which has incidentally cost the govern- ment a lot of money, worry and time, was reposing innocently on the desk in the of- flce of Mr. McCune, collector of cus- toms, at the Federal bullding yesterday morning. A little investigation showed that the can had originated in Sweden, where it had been filled with €7 cubic inches of the best sardines, carefully packed in oll. With a large number of other | catis of the samie size and variety it came to America two years ago, being shipped to the port of Lincoln, Neb. There the shipment was examined by the collector, and a certain tax added. H This tax was pald, but the importer! later discovered that the size of the can had been improperly listed and that he had pald more than was really due' from him. Needless to say he made a complaint, and then the trouble began. | A can was chosen as a specimen and was |sent to Washington with a complaint. There numerous clerks worked over the problem for a time, and finally answered the complaint. Since then a whole sheaf of letters has been written on the sub- ject, and many clerks have torn their, { hair over the problem it presented. Now, | | however, the affair has been dropped, and the government Is out weeks of | labor on the part of its clerks and postal | | clerks who handle the mails written on | | the subject, and the case ended by leav- | ing the matter just where it started. The\ jcan in the meantime has traveled thou-| | sands of miles, having made the round |trip from Lincoln to Washington five| timee. | Omahans Worried | About Relatives | Omahans who have relatives in the.

The Whitings lived at tho Surf hotel, on the beach, and according to press information, this place was one of the first to be submerged. The army {camps were also inundated. ‘Thus far no word has been recelved from them. Friends of Mrs. Tom Hayes, who was formerly Mary Ringwalt of this city, re-| celved word from her. Her husband and herself are all right. Mr. Hayes is a second lleutenant in the Fourth in- fantry. Blind Boone Able to Recall Meeting Judge 28 Years Ago After an interval of twenty-eight years since first meeting District Judge Leslie, Blind Boone, negro musician, who is attending sessions of the United Broth- ers of Friendship at the court house, re- called distinctly a conversation which he had with the judge and with the latter's father, at Galena, Ill., in 1886, Leslle spoke to Boone and re- : “I met you in 1886 in Galena, 111" “Yes, sir,”” answered Boone, I remem- ber you and your father. He was editor of a newspaper in Galena.” And Boone named a score of other per- sons whom he had met in Galena. — ousn: Constipation. It is L’ol'tflnly surprising that any woman will endure the miserable feel- ings caused by billousness and constipa- tion, when relief is so easily had and at 0 little expense. Mrs, Chas.
