The professional thugs who have been
working their will upon the citizens of
Omaha during the last few weeks apparently
have becomp satisfied with their glut of
ordinary holdups and burglaries and last
night directed themselves loan attempt upon
a street car , a field which has been neglected
In Omaha for a long time. The Job was per
formed at Thirteenth and Valley streets , an
especially extremely lonely location , and a
little more than $15 was secured.
*
A Walnut Hill car , In chorgoof Conductor
E. C. Whitney , had reached the southern
terminus of the line nearly oppslto River-
vlow park and the car had been turned upon
the "Y , " ready for the return trip. No pas
sengers xvcro Inside and Whitney and the
motorman were spending their flve-tntnutc
recess warming up before the car stovo.
The latter was seated before the fire with
his mittens held before the- blaze nnd Whit
ney was standing near , when the door
opened and two supposed passengers entered.
One had his face mufllcd In a handkerchief
and the other wore a heavy red beard , which
obscured his features. The latter was not of
a natural growth , however , and was observed
to be disarranged as the man left the car.
The strangers 'went ' about their business jn
a prompt fashion. Revolvers were pointed in
the direction of the train crew and tho- red
bearded man said' "Throw Up jour hanSS ,
boys and bo quiet. " The Instructions were
ohojcd and the more aggressive robber made
an examination of pockets and hat linings
In search of valuables. From Whitney ho
obtained $15 In change , the fruit of his
night's fares , and a small amount which be
longed to him personally. The motorman also
sustained a small personal loss. The occur
rence passed off with the sang-froid of an
ordinary business transaction and was
handled with a deftness that -marked the
opeiators as experienced hands. When the
thl'ig was done , the spokesman In a dis
guised voice orderel the conductor to go to
his post on the rear platfoim and give the
double gong to go ahead The motorman re
sponded and the train pulled out a little
ahead of time.
When Conductor Whitney was asked last
night to give a description of the robbers he
was able to go no further than what has
been mentioned. He says he was so startled
that he did not notice whether the men were
tall or short or were supplied with over
coats. Mr. Whitney has been In the street
car service for a number of years and lives
at 4355 Charles street.

Superintendent Dan Cameron of the
Cudahy Packing company icturncd jcsterdaj
'rorn ' an extended eastern trip. HP was In
Washington at the time action was taken
by the Department of Agriculture on the pro-
losel tax ! of 5 cents per head for mlcroscop-
cal examinations of export hogs and was
enthusiastic over the energy dlspla > cd by
-ongicssman Mercer In having the measure
{ necked out. When the attention of Con
gressman Mercer \vasi called to the proposed
: ahe at once saw that It would work a
ardsnlp on South Omaha packers and took
steps to counteract the Influences In favor o ;
.ho project. Mr. Cameron said that such a
tax would mean several thousand dollais a
vcar to the Oudahy company and would In a
measure restrict the export trade just at a
: lme when there was a good foreign domain
for our meats.
U has been definitely decided to erect an
other soap factory and work on a duplicate
of the one erected a jear ago will com-
nenco In the spring. By means of the 1m-
piovcd machinery recently purchased and set
up the cutting of great blocks of soap into
slabs and bars has been greatly facilitated
and the dally output has been materially
ncrcased. A largo steam machine for press-
ng1 each cake of soap has been ordered ami
will arrive this week. This machine will
! o the work of the eight hand presses now
n use. . Excavations are now being made for
he now glycerine factory to be built Just
vest of the soap factory. Mr. Cameron lefl
ast night for Sioux City to look over the
new packing house being built by the CuJahy
company at that point. G. A. Cudahy Is in

It Is understood that at the next regular
nceting of the Hoard of education a rebo-
utlon will bo offered requesting the city
ouncll to raise the saloon licenses from $500
o $1,000 a year. This action has been
alkod over Informally by the members of
lie board a number of tlm s and It has been
eclded that the time has come for some ac-
lon. Every member of the board under-
tamls that It remains with the council to
also the license , but It is thought that the
matter should bo started by a resolution
assed at a regular meeting. What the city
! ouncll will do with such a resolution Is not
mown , but It Is safe to say that unless corri-
ellcd by the courts to take some action the
evolution of the board will be respectfully
ccelved and filed.
There may be a fight In the board In regard
0 the passage of such a resolution , but from
vliat can bo learned It Is supposed that a
lajorlty of the members favor high license.
The council will not want to ratso the
iceuso for the reason that by so doing sev-
ral thousand dollars In revenue would bo
ut off which 'would have to bo made up by
axatlon. With a license of $500 every
aloon pays an occupation tax of $100 , which
oes to the city. 'With ' 100 saloons hero this
ear that means $10,000 from the occupa-
lun tax and just that much less levy ,
The matter Is glowing Interesting and there
my bo a lively fight before tbo question la
nally settled.

A GIFT
Far Abova "Wealth is tha Priceless Gift o
Unimpaired Sight.
A FEW FACFS CONCERNING
Wlint Or . Se-jiimiir & Dull- Arc IIo-
lliK for SuITrriiiK Ilitiitiiiilt j _
Menus Loss u
Sight.
No gift bestoned by the Generous Maker
Is greater and grander than that of pcrfoc
sight , and no faculty is moro sadly mls ei
when once the glorious windows of the souh
have felt the gloomy curtains of perpetua
drakness drawn between them and the beau
tiful world about. Instinct and lutultloi
often come to the relief of other sense ?
when Impaired or entirely lost , but sight
stands helpless and alone , for no oher : fac
ulty can attempt In the most remote degree
Its rescue or replacement. Life wouldi -
decd be desolate without It vet many par
sons hasten to the death of that man clous
light by Ignorance nnd delay. The eje. 1 :
Impaired and left unaided by optical help
does not asseit Itself as do other function1
of the body to gradually right Its own
troubles. Carelessness and Inattention , on
the contrary , hostcn It on Its donnwnri
course , ending at last In complications
which lead to seiious lesu'.ls and sometimes
loss of sight.
Many people- think tint a glass vvhlcli
greatly magnifies and enables them to read
without dlscomfoit Is consequently the one
they need , and therefore must be the light
one. This is u serious mistake , end one
who fils the office of an expert ejc specialist ,
with thousands of eager patrons who have
paid the price of their ignorance with their
precious sight. Few men living are better
authority for this statement than Drs. Poy-
mour & Dally , who for past jeais have
treated every form of defective vlslora A
large portion of the most serious cases , thov
say , are made from this cause alone The
art of applying and adjusting glass s Is a
eclence by Itself , and no man can succev-
fully practice It who gives It only his dU
\idej utttentlon. It takes time , training ,
and , moro than all , experience to proi rly
fit wen the simplest case. LlesHjK 'hose
essential requirements Drs. Seymour fc
Dally bring to their aid some of the most
marvelous Instruments for examinations of
the ejo that have ever been known to
science , and an a consequence arc able to
accomplish results unattainable by the av
erage optician using only the ordinary
means of testing sight.
