Is Choice Offered l To Crude Oil Users Users of oil:burning furgaces. are being reminded just now m& under city ordinance No. 9142, passed on February 8 of this year, they may demand during the coming season that oil deliveries be made on the basis of weight rather than by liquid measurement. ; The ordifiance contains the follow- ing optional clause: “Provided, that the provisions of ‘this ordinance shall not apply to an sale or contract of sale- in whicl the parties thereto have expressly agreed upon in writing, to the con- trary, signed by the, parties thereto.” City Attorney Rine, who drew the ordinance, made this statement: “While the ordinance gives the option of allowing the oil consumers to con- tract for deliveries under thé liquid measurement system, it, however, does protect consumers who may de- mand. that ‘oil shall be delivered by weight, as defined in the ordinance.” The liquid measurement clause was placed in the ordinance ‘to satisfy dealers who appeared before council committee. of the whole at the time the ordinance was dis- cussed, The city legal department main- tains that the optional- clause in no manner vitiates the ordinance in the event that any consumer or con- sumers demand the weight measure- ment, . The ordinance was introduced by Mayor ‘Dahlman, and upon the re- quest of C. J. MgDonald, secretary and manager of the' Nebraska Oil and Furnace company, Mr. McDonald i said: “We contended and still con- e tend that the 'weight measurement offers the better protection to con- sumers, as under this system the con- sumer is given weight tickets, while under the liquid measurement system there are several undesirable features. I o not see that the optional feature of the-ardinance does much harm. We hbwever, pfefer to use the weight measurement,” The Standard Oil company is send- . ing to next season's prospective fuel oil patrons contract blanks which 0 read: “The party of the second part agrees to receive the oil distillate de- fined in section 1, at and for the price of 5% cents per gallon, delivered by tank wagon, and agrees to accept liquid measures for all deliveries, if\- stead of requiring deliveries based on %ravuions of Omaha city ordinance 0. 9142, such deliveries to be made as the party of the second part may s require and as they order, but not less than 500 eallons at any time.” The contract price last season was 434 cents per gallon, How to Cure Coughs and Colds, Keep out of drafts, ayold exposure.

The OMAHA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1916. The Bee's Fund for KANSAN'S ROMANGE Matrimonial Paper Oourtship and Marriage Makes New Convert of Oelibacy. GOES BACK TO THE FARM HIS WEEK IN OMAHA. Sunday a. m.—A simple Kansas farmer. Sunday p. m.—Sultor for the hand of Ada Stephens. Monday—Husband of Ada Stephens. happy honeymoon. —A heart-broken bridegroom. lication for annulment of the marriage. Saturday—A farm hand aghin. S)"dnev Robison, 34 years old. a farmer of Corning, Kan., rues the day that he answered an advertisement in a matrimonial paper and came to Omaha imbued with the desire to re- turn to the farm with his bride. Fri- day he gave vent to his determina- tions by filing an application for the annuling of his rapid-fire marriage to Miss Ada Stephens of Benson. The story of the Robison-Stephens romance smacks of the dime novel. With his money nearly gone and his spirit broken, Mr. Robison appealed to Assistant County Attorney Ray J. Abbott for relief from the bonds of matrimony, after three days of mar- ried life. This Is the Life—Maybe. After perusing matrimonal papers for weeks he finally selected Miss Ada Stephens of Omaha as the lady most desirable to preside over his farm home. He came to Omaha Sun- day, went to the home of Miss Stephens’ sister, near Benson, met the young lady, her sister and broth- er-in-law, remained at the home all day Sunday, and before leaving pro- posed to Miss Stephens. His. investigations regarding the character, physical well-being and assaciations revealed no stumbling blocks and he consented to become the step-father of the 15-months old child o? Miss Stephens, who she de- clared was botn of her first marriage. Robison went to the court house bright and early Monday morning and was granted a license to wed by Deputy Clerk H, H. Stubbendorf. The couple were married by Justice C. W Britt, the sister of the bride, Miss Jessie Larson, acting as witness. Prepare for Honeymoon, Plans were immediately made for the packing of the household furniture and_effects for removal to the farm in Kansas, Robison's father was nofi- fied to prepare for the home-coming of the son and his bride. £ Wednesday morning, when Robison returned to the sister’s homé to ac- company his wife to the railway station, he found her suffering from an epileptic fit, he stated, Robison now declares that he had no knowledge that his wife was sub- ject to these attacks. He asks that the marriage be annulled on the ground of fraud and deception. His thrilling week in Omaha has made him a convert of celibacy. He's going back to the farm. ing its li i i tate will present its side of the case proving its lines in Nebraska in the | & 4 last seven years, according to the October 26)- probably at Lincoln. e = pm—— =YK Y our Summers Go Better thanks to the soda fountain—soda fountains are better, thanks to —the drink that made the soda fountain a national institution.

Scarcity of men is given as an excuse for not going -head with the work, Three paving contractors continue to be so dilatory that Commissioner Jardime of the public improvements department has asked the city legal department for an expression as to just what authority his department Las in the matter of taking over the contracts which have gone by de- fault. Some of these paving districts were started last spring. “I know one thing, this depart- ment can finish the jobs, and we in- tend to finish them i the three de- linquent contractors do not show signs of life within i few days,” an- nounced Commissioner Jardine. City Engineer Bruce has given the contractors final notice of the inten- tions of Mr, Jardine, The depart- ment wants to have these districts completed before the paving season closes.
