( MILK SITUATION AROUSES OMAHA Startling Disclosures Concern ing the Impurity of the Supply Expected. TESTS ARE TO BE MADE The Investigation Was Begun After i Movement was Instituted by a Woman’s Club in Regard to Sanitation of Dairies. Omaha, Sob., Nov. 25.—Startling dis closures concerning the impurity of Omaha’s milk supply are expected to come to light when the returns of analytical tests of milk which have been caused by private persons become known. The attention of the public was first called to the lax manner in which the regulations governing the milk supply are being enforced by an investigation into the sanitary conditions of the dairies by the Omaha Women’s club. Local papers took up the fight and now the city has become thoroughly aroused. Health Commissioner Ralph contends that as many experiments as the board’s fund will permit have been carried on. A local chemist performed the experiments charging $3 each. It was shown that the city chemist has never been requested to make the experi ments. City Chemist Kirschbraun stated that lu* could perforin the experiment to disclose the practice of adulteration for 2 cents a test. He said that an expenditure of $25 would add sufficiently to the city laboratory for these tests and that 200 could be made monthly. The law requires that milk be tested regularly but the record of the health board shows but five tests have been made in ten months. A new phase has been put on the situa tion by the statement of City Comptroller Lobeck. it now' appears that money for the tests can be had despite the contention df the health board that it was unable to bo euro funds to carry the experiments further tills year. The city comptroller fleclares that the money needed to equip the laboratory ns outlined by the city chemist can be drawn from the miscellan eous fund if the council will adopt a reso lution ordering it to be done. The case has disclosed many interost ng situations. One particularly so is the diargo brought against Milk Inspector Hutton by John Steele, a prominent In surance man. Steele in a signed statement alleges that, the milk Inspector nccom anled an insurance agent on several trips o insure dairymen, lie intimates that tilik Inspector Hutton received a part of lie agents commission and that dairymen vert* either intimidated by the presence if the milk Inspector with the insurance igent or wishing to gain his favor in many instances took out policies. Milk Inspector Hutton admits to having Halted dairymen with the agent but de lares he accepted no renumeration and hat he did so merely out of friendship for he agent. The attitude of the city council with re tard to the adoption of a resolution for he transfer of the funds necessary for the aboratory equipment is being canvassed. FOUR HORDED ANTELOPE. Entire Skeleton of a Primitive Anima. Unearthed. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 24. Professor Bar >our, state geologist, is exhibiting the ikelcton of a four-horned antelope, Syn lyoceras cooki, which is the great find of he Morrill Geological expedition of 11*05. rhis skeleton is said to be a great addi tion to science. It Is tin* lirst one ever liscovered. So important is the discovery the now animal deemed by scientists hat Professor Wiliston. of Chicago uni versity, had the publication of his now look stopped in order to insert a page de scribing the four-horned antelope. This primitive antelope was a trifle less n size than the modern Nebraska ante ope a'nd this discoverey warrants the statement that Nebraska was really the tome and starting place of the antelope, fho skull of the primitive animal shows me pair of horns just hack of the nostrils, while another pair is located behind the 'yes, which evidently protruded from the Head. Just back of the front pair of Horns is a circular blow hole, the function :>f which is not yet known. The antelope Hi.id a broad, stout neck, not unlike tin- Rocky mountain sheep, and from its muscular scars must have been a i fleet and agile creature, rivaling any liv ing antelope in grace and beauty of out line. The animal evidently died near some stream, where it was washed down into some pond, swamp or lake by a freshet. 11 « h* d floated for a time and then dropped to the bottom, where its bones were found doubled together in such a way that the entire skeleton was scouted.

WERE FRIGHTENED AWAY In Leaving the Cash in the Safe Be* hind They Did Not Depart Empty Handed for They Stole a Team and Buggy. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 23.—An at tempt which has just been made to rob, the Farmers’ Savings bank, of Tea, a little town south of Sioux Falls, proves that the cracksmen who about a week ago made an unsuccessful attempt to rob a bank at Spencer, west of Sioux Falls, are yet hovering in this part of the state. As at Spencer, the robbers succeeded in making their escape. A systematic search was made tor traces of the rob bers-and the citizens of Tea are strong ly of the opinion that the fugitives,, with a stolen team and buggy, made tor the south, evidently with the intention of reaching Sioux City, it is expected, the team and buggy will be abandoned long before the robbers near Sioux City, if that should prove to be their desti nation. Complete details have now been re- * ceived here of the latest d ring at tempt to hold up and rob a South Da kota bank. Two strangers had been noticed at Tea during the last week, and they are supposed to have been concerned in the attempted robbery. It was shortly after 3 o’clock ill the morn ing that the residents of Tea were awakened by an explosion. This was followed in a few minutes by a second explosion. A number of citizens were soon on hand to make an investigation. The building occupied by the bank was first visited, and many unmistakable signs of the work of robbers were found. A door was open and the interior of the banking room was in great disorder. Two unsuccessful attempts hud been made to blow the safe. The handle had been broken off and some sort of ex plosive inserted, but notwithstanding that two attempts were made and the hinges were broken, the doors jammed so they did not fall out and the robbers were frightened away before they could gain an entrance to the safe. However, it speedily developed that the robbers dhl not escape empty-handed. It was found that a team of horses belonging to Edward Bent, the village blacksmith, and a top buggy belonging to Mr. Bruhn, who conducts an eleva tor at Tea, were missing. D. D. CLARK RELEASED. Was Being Held for Suspected Connec tion with Volin Robbery. Yankton, S. D., Nov. 23.—After being, detained for a week, Dan D.

Clark was found at Sa cred Heart hospital under the assumed name of John Cook. He had obtained admission for treatment, having two se vere contusions above each knee, where, the officers believe, part 'of the door of one of the safes blown swung back on its hinges and struck him as he stood at the side of it. Clark’s face showed nitro-glycerin effects, being very red and scratched. It has been ascertained he returned here the day of the robbery and left that same evening, not to be seen again until found in the hospital. Nothing more could be found against Clark, and as he steadily re fused to talk, except to deny his com plicity in the robbery, he was turned) loose. GIRL IS A HEROINE. But for Her Care a Man Would Have Bled to Death. Aberdeen, S. D.t Nov. 23.—After binding up a gaping wound iri the face' of Professor H. B. Callin, of Eureka, with whom she had been hunting. Miss Ruby Cole, a country school teacher, barely 20 years of age, and of slight build, drove the horse and buggy with the unconscious man lying in the vehicle twenty-five miles across the prairies to Eureka, where medical as sistance could be secured. The couple were out shooting when the horse shied, causing the dog, which was riding in the buggy, to jump from the vehicle in flight. As the animal jumped it knocked down the gun of Professor Callin, and the weapon was discharged. Most of the charge en tered the unfortunate man’s face at the, chin, completely tearing away that or gan, as well as the right jaw. Miss Cole at the same time was slightly wounded in the wrist. Quickly tear-, ing her handkerchief to pieces, and: tearing strips from her clothing, the; girl bound the wound together as best she could, made the wounded man as; comfortable as possible as he lay un conscious in the buggy, and drove as rapidly and carefully as possible to Eureka.

Hazel, S. D., Nov. 23.—A farmer named Smith, residing near this place, is entitled to the honor of being known as the potato king of this part of the state. He has just completed the work of harvesting his potato crop, to which;, an area of forty-seven acres was de voted. From the forty-seven acres he harvested over 15,000 bushels. He ex pects to receive an average price of $1 per bushel for the entire crop, as the potatoes are of the variety which is used in the south for seed. Smith will realize a protit of not less than $4,300 from the forty-seven acres. It is doubt ful if any other tract of equal size in the state produced so valuable a crop., With the profit from the forty-seven acres. Smith could purchase a farm of J60 acres ar.d pay more than $25 an u ra for it. !
