"Clothes and all their little accessories
are without doubt the invention of the
devil."
That Is the frank declaration of Mrs.
John Lane, who In her newest book,
Talk of the Town." discourses enter-
tainly on "The Tyranny of Clothes." But
Mrs. Lane's really Interesting discovery
Is that woman is not the only sufferer
from this despotism. It also sways the
men. And, woman-like, Mrs. Lane Is glad
of it '
'The only solace I have In the tyrannny
under1 which I languish Is that Adam
languishes also," she exults. "I rejoice
to watch hie struggles Into a pair of
tight new gloves. I love to see Mm
when his necktie has slipped under his
ear. It is a comrort to ODserve ms an
guish far away from a tailor and the one
he loves best when a nail plays havoc
with his only ualr. and he Is reduced to a
spectacle! I was so pleased the other day
at a dinner party, when Adam came
bashfully down in an evening coat ana
henherd's nlaid trousers-the guardian
angel who had packed his kit-bag having
been a little absent minded.
"it li a rreat comfort to feel that man
also suffers from the tyranny of clothes.

would venture forth In the early morning

"There are things, it is a comfort to
know, which even a man cttnnot do, and
a man Is suposed to be able to do al
most anything. I defy a novelist to put

The packing Interests of South Omaha
have been cited and will appear today
to show cause why their assessment
should not be raised 15 per cent above the
assessment of last year. If the Increase
Is ordered by the board of equalisa
tion, it will mean an Increase ot $1,000,000
In valuation and a corresponding reduc
tion of the mill levy. , ,
That the assessment of the packers
will be raised goes without saying, the
question being Just what the raise will
be. Some of the members of the beard
say that 2 per cent will be enough. Mayor
Tom Hoctor Indicated yesterday that he
hoped to raise the assessment a good
deal over 10 per cent above last year's
figures.
A number of men have Indicated their
Intention ot being present at the ses-'
slons of the board during the hearing of
the packers so that a record of the vote
may be kept - '

Cattle to' Be Higher.
After more than a week's outing in
Colorado, Traffic Manager Shoemaker of
the Union Stock yards, la back at his
desk. , Mr. Shoemaker has Just , returned
from sessions of the- live stock conven
tion In' Gunnison and Glenwood Springs,
Colo. Speaking of the prospects, he gave
it as his opinion that the ensuing year
would see a condition In the cattle mar
ket never, before witnessed. AH signs
point to a great demand for feeders by
the cattle men whose feed lots were
depleted last , yeaf. This year feed is
plentiful, but cattle will be scarce. As
a-, consequence the. range cattle "will ad
vance In price and the feed lots wlll.be
stocked from range catUe, It all means
that cattle will go higher this year said
Mr. Shoemaker.
Acting Chief fif Police Hank Elsfelder
stated last night that he was investigat
ing the, death, ,of Wallace Stewart, the
Omaha contractor found dead upon the
Burlington tracije some days ago. "The
affair. Is. rather cloudy,'.' said .Captain' Els
felder,. "and the. fact that the chauffeur
of the taxlcab In, which Stewart rode did
not appear, does not look right to me.
It may have been that this man was
beaten up and then rolled upon the Bur
lington tracks. He had both rings and a
watch before his death, tt seems. Any
way the case has to be bleared up.' I
want the chauffeur-to come in and ex

Omaha Has Big Appetite
for Luscious Watermelon
(;"
2D .-. IK THfcttAW'?T! V''
Omaha eats one-fifth as many water
melons In a day as Chicago and the Illi
nois town. Is considerably more than five
times the site of the Nebraska metropolis.
It takes from 750 to 1,000 watermelons to
fill a car, and, think of It, from three to
five times that number to fill, Omaha's
stomachs. Just to please the statistician
and to give the finite mind a sort of an
idea, this dally consumption weighs 235,000
pounds U7V4 tons., . , '. . . . .
The figures sound pretty big. but It
must be considered that the watermelon
Is a cosmopolitan fruit. It can be found
In high society and low and acta Just
the same everywhere with the exception
of somo places where It pulls harder on
the purse strings. And, too, it tills a
double bill It can be eaten and It can
be drunk. ' '
Another big asset tt has Is Its seeds.
There is somewhat of a demand tor
watermelon seeds b'y amateur1 homeo
pathic. It is very effective In cases of
certain maladies and anatomical Incon
venience. -'Vm ""..,,. ''-';'"
And the watermelon does not stop there
in being a general all-round fruit' Lots of
folks use Its rinds for preserves,, which
are even better for mussing .up the: chil
dren's, faces and ears than the water
melon itself., , ..-.''. ..
Commission merchants declare ihat this
hot weather Is responsible for the big
demand. In -lower society a melon la a
godsend at 6 cents a slice and in high
society It is aa . excellent dessert at 25
cents because of its filling Qualities In
the low and ita cooling qualities in the
high, respectively. .
' At the small restaurants all a man can
carry under his belt can be had tor a
nickel. At the Omaha club three seeds
and a spoonful ot water encased In an

The charges as made to General Potts

vestigation are: ' -'-';-'
That' almost one-third of the S.000
soldiers composing the Blue army were
drunk, a few hours before the campaign

McNamara Still in
Solitary Confinement
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-That James
B. McNamara, serving a life sentence in
Ban Quentin penitentiary for murder
committed in the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times building, October L-1910,
Is held In solitary confinement in an ef
fort to make him confess further details
of that conspiracy was charged today to
Warden John E. Hoyle by a delegation of
nationally prominent labor leaders.'
Warden Hoyle denied the accusation,
told the committee that McNamara was
"In the solitary" because he was recal
citrant" and would not promise to mend
his ways, and assured his guests that
their visit would neither lengthen nor
shorten McNamara's present punishment.
He pronounced John J. McNamara, for
mer secretary of the International Asso
ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, a well .conducted prisoner, and
that he was undergoing, no extra punish
ment. James B McNamara, Hoyle said,
was known to have been concerned in a
recent "bread riot" at the penitentiary. .
"How long Is it customary to keep a
man In solitary confinement V Hoyle was
asked., -
"About ten days," said Hoyle.
"How long has 'Jim' been in?"
"About twenty."
"Why?"
"Because he has not shown himself
penitent."
"Have you talked with him since he has
been in solitary confinement?"
"I have not," said Hoyle "as he has
shown no desire to talk with me when I
passed his cell." -
- . Some Variety.'
"Have you seen that dear little book
on 'Simple Lunches for Simple Tastes?
It's so useful."
"Why, we don't have lunches during
the summer. George believes In the two-meala-a-day
Idea. All we eat at noon Is
bread and milk."
"Then you surely need the book. It
gives you your choice of twenty-seven
different kinds of bread and milk
spreads." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A clerk In a bank appeared before the
bank president with a three days' growth
of beard.
"James," said the president, "you will
have to get shaved."
"But. air," replied James, "I am grow
ing a beard."
"You may do what you like at home,"
snapped the president, "but you must
understand that I'll not have you grow
ing a beard during office hours." Judge.

NEW TORK. July 27.-R, Ow Dunn an4
company's Weekly Review of Trade to
day says:
Statistics of trade movements tell of

ll. That industrial linos fir a wall Am.
ployed Is Indicated by the advances in
products of iron and steel and by tho
better demand and higher prices this
wrcr. iur cuyyer.
Generally excellent crop prospects
promise a larger traffic over the rail
roads and Increased purchasing of
equipment Is noted as a result. During
the last week orders for about 10,000
cars and S00 locomotives were- placed,
while the buying movement Is expected
to gain momentum at an early daft. '
In other finished steel new demands
have fallen off, yet the .volume of business
is still very satisfactory for the mid
summer season. In spite of hot weather
and a shortage of labor, production has
not been materially curtailed, the lead
lng interests operating at approximately
ninety per cent of capacity and the In
dependent plants being busier than for
two-years. Several price advances have
been named. Including a rise of $1 a ton
on wire products and premiums continue'
to be paid for prompt deliveries of plates
snd shapes. There-is an upward trend
in sheets, the mills being well supplied
with contracts several months ahead.'..
