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.

dropped to the bottom, where its bones
were found doubled together in such a
way that the entire skeleton was scouted.
FOOTBALL TEAM DISBANDS.
Injury to Kansas City Player Disheart
ens Lincoln High School Boys.
Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 21. The Lincoln
high school football team has cancelled

team and may disband for the season be
cause of the serious injury incurred by
Homer Gibson, the Kansas Pity manual
Player, it* tin* game last Saturday. Gibson
Is improving since the trepanning opera
tion was performed .and the blood i lot
was removed from the cerebral cavity, but
the accident has placed u damper on the
spirits of the Lincoln lads, who wen' in
tensely anxious over the early report that
the young man would die.
Gibson’s close call has had it.; effect in
awakening the opposition to high school
football into activity and there is more or
less talk against the game. Should the
accident have terminated fatally anxious
parents were ready to take stringent meas
ures to combat the game. As it is, with
the Kansas City player lying in a hospital
with a very grave injury, many parents
are manifesting a disposition to take their
sons out of the game, and to that influ
ence the cancellation of the remaining
games will he responsible in a measure,
although ostensibly out of respect for Gib

The man was injured in fair play. It as
explained that the accident was unavoid

TO HOLD AN AUTOPSY.
Body of Midshipman Branch, Who Was
Killed by Meriw,ether. Is Ordered
Exhumed.
Annapolis, lid., Nov. 2S. -The court
martial proceedings in the case ot Mid
shipman Minor Meriwether, charged
with manslaughter In causing the
dc'ath of Midshipman Branch in a list
fight, was resumed tills morning.
i Judge Advocate Marix has tele
graphed to the secretary of the navy,
requesting permission to disinter the
body of Branch and have an autopsy
performed in order to settle, as far as
possible, doubts raised during the trial
as to the physical condition of Branch
prior to his fight and the possibility of
death from causes other than blows
received on the head. This request was
granted by Secretary Bonaparte.
Midshipman C'orstein. of the first
class, for the defense, testified that at
the end of the last term, while on duty,
he had reported Meriwether for breach
ot regulations. Branch had manifested
great interest in seeing the report was
made. He seemed to have a deep-seat
ed grudge against Meriwether.
C'orstein testified that the attitude of
midshipmen toward fighting was re
garded as the only means of settling
certain disputes.
Lieut. Commander H. J. Ziogemier
testified that as executive officer of the
Hartford he had received a report from
Midshipman Branch against Meri
wether "for general disorder, insubor
dination, and not turning in promptly
on being ordered by Branch,” who was
on duty. Witness found that the charge
of not turning in promptly was the only
one sustained. He considered there was
a personal feeling between the two.
Midshipman William T. Page, class
mate of Meriwether, testified that Mer
iwether would have been “an outcast
in his class” if he had not fought and
“worse than an outcast” if he had re
fused Branch’s challenge.
Fights, he said, had been going on
for some time. He had never known
anyone reported or punished for it.
Meriwether had at least one other fight
luring the last term.

Austria Greatly Interested.
Vienna, Nov. 25.—Austria will con
tinue. to take part in the international
action against Turkey so long as the
powers act unanimously. But if any
power withdraws, Austria will with
draw* also.
The possibilities of serious compli
cations are not ignored here. The gov
ernment still expects the sultan will
jaccede to the demands of the powers.;
Austria is not moving troops toward',
the southern frontier, despite reports*,
to he contrary. The statement that1,
she contemplates a movement on Sa-lj
lonica is categorically denied. I 1
CRACKSMEN ARE YET
IN SOOTH DAKOTA
✓lake an Unsuccessful Attempt
to Enter a Safe at Bank
of Tea.
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, ot
Sioux City, arrested on suspicion of
being connected with the Volin saloon
safe robberies, was liberated by -Mar
shal Hickey, who, however, is of the
firm opinion that lie nabbed one of the
safe blowers. 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.
LARGE BANK DEPOSITS.
Reports Show $375 for Each Inhabitant
of the Place.
Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 23.—The de
posits of the First National and the
Pennington county banks, of this city,
show a deposit of $340,454, which is
about $375 to each inhabitant of the'
city. This is believed to be the largest
deposit in proportion to population, of
any city in the state. The resources
of the two banks is $1,367,731. The
year has been unusually good for the
cattle business and a large amount of
money has come in on account of the
railroad building and other improve
ments in this section.
HE IS POTATO KING.
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.
