E. B. Thaw of Rich mond, Va.. who has been the promoter ol the enterprise, said to The Bee man yes terday morning: "I wish Brat of all to rorrect the article published In the other papera Saturday, for they were falae in hearty erery particular. Mr. Holcombe'haa not gone to Atlanta to interest capital there in the Omaha under taking, the deal for the Boyd packing house property la not hanging fire, my name la not J. H. Thaw. I do not lire on Douglas atreet and I am not aick. I ran't under atand how the reporters made so many mis statements unless they merely guessed at everything. "The plan for the establishment of the tannery In Omaha are completed, the Boyd packing house property haa been purchased, the company is composed principally of Omaha men, Mr. Holcombe has gone to At lanta to engage expert help, the Installa tion of the machinery here will begin within thirty daya and the plant will be iu operation three months later. The concern will be known as the Nebraska Tanning and Manufacturing company and the capital Stock will be $150,000. Kllmiantra I e of nark. "The plant will be operated under the Ruff tanoline process, which eliminates the use of bark and bark extracts. Without this process tanning could not be profitably carried on in this section of the country, for the cost of shipping bark from the east and south would be too great. By the Ruff process hides and pelta are tanned In one third the time and at one-half the cost of the old process. This is no experiment, for the Ruff process has been In successful operation at Atlanta for nearly three years. "We will begin operations here with from thirty to forty employes, but expect to In crease the force rapidly, as the rapacity of the plant will be about 1.000 bides and pelta per day. and this will require about ISO workmen." P. E. Ilrr Is at the head of the tannery company and J. H. Holcombe. an expert tanner from Atlanta, will be the manager of the plant. Mr. Thaw controls the Ruff procesa in this and other countries. MOTHER BERCHMAN'S JUBILEE Slater of Merry Celebrate the Twea-ty-Flfih anniversary of Her Leadership.

Solemn high mas was celebrated by Father McGorern, Father Jeannette being deacon aad Father Morlerty suldeacon. Father Dowlin. of Cretchton coll ge delivered a eulogy on the Kilters of Mercy as an crder and the char acter of Mother Berchman in particular. His acquaintance with Mother Berchman datee back to the time when Bishop O'Con nor held jurisdiction over the Catholic clergy of Omaha, and Father IVjwliug re tails the high regard Bishop O'Connor ex pressed for the work of Mcther Berchman and her order. In those daya conditions here were auch as to render work for the sisters very difficult.

Many little things hare been done during the year alnce the opera was last sung here to brighten it. but nothing to mar It. It still has the. good son. "War Is a Bountiful Jade' "The Wood Nymph and the Water God." "The Story Book." "The Fighting Men and tho Maid," "Payer of Sooth." and all th3 others that hare marked It as tbe best of light operas since "Robin Hood." And they sre all well sung. The selection of voices has been most judicious aod tbe drilling of the chorus baa been sue) as se cures well nigh perfection In results. This, with the splendid picture settings that hare been prepared for the new pi duettos, prorldes a feast for both eye and ear. Joseph C. Mtron. with hlc i."" base voice, is still the chief fun-maker of the com pany, but he has able assistants In Messrs. Bailey. Mahar and Thomas. Mr. Forrest Huff has a good voice, and orders the hang ing and decapitation of ererybody who falls under his ducal displeasure with an aban don that eren Charles the Bold would bare admired. Moat of the interest of laat evening's per formance centered around Vies Vera Michelena, who hi singing the name part of the opera thla season. She is new to Omaha, but made an excellent Impression. Her voice, though not strong. Is full, swett and melodious, with sufficient range to en able her to easily execute the somewhat ambitious score that falls to her lot, and of sufficient resonance and melod to add a piquant charm to the words. Her youth ful beauty and grace well suit the role, whether as peasant girl, envoy or as prin cess in the quaintly beautiful fifteenth century costume. .Miss Edna Floyd Is also new to Omaha, but ahe will henceforth be welcome at any time. She sang her half of the story book song with a coquettish dash that added much to Its effect. "Princess Chic" will be aung at a special matinee this afternoon and will conclude the engagement with this evening's per formance.

In cluding the hundreds of men who are en gaged In tbe work of handling freight go ing out and coming In the varloua jobbing and manufacturing houses, are uneaay be cause a number of them have been sep arated from their jobs within tbe laat few weeka. Tbe employer say the dismissals were for the sole purpose of cutting down the forces to the requirements of the work In hand, but the discharged men as sert that they were let out because of tbelr membership In tbe Package Freight Handlers' union. Laat Saturday Oscar Nast. the president of the union, waa discharged from tbe em ploy of the Lee-Olaas-Andreesen company, O. R. Franklin, the financial secretary, and tbree other members of the union were let out by the Wrlght-Wllhelmy company, and tbree others were dismissed by tbe Pax ton V Gallagher company. "Our union waa recognised last October." aald President Nast yesterday, "and so far we have not adopted a acale or wage, but we expect to adopt one very soon and ask Ita acceptance by the employer. It may be the anticipation of thla acale which prompts some of tbe employers to dis charge men who are aetire In the affairs of the organixatlon. They probably want to discourage the union. Tbe three men who ware discharged from the Paxton Gallagher establishment Saturday were told that the reason was tbat tbey were agi tators." Hlata at Geaeral Strike. "We have about 500 members, baring taken In seventy-five at tbe last meeting. Tbere are 150 applications to act on at tbe next meeting. Thursday night of this week. At the next meeting alao the Union prob ably will take aome action In regard to tbe member who hare been discharged. It may be that a general strike will be called unless the men were reinstated." Charles H. Pickens, general manager of the Paxton-Gallagber company, said: "The freight handlers let out by ua Satur day were dismissed simply to cut down the force and not because tbey were mem bers of any union. They were not told that tbey were discharged because they were agitators. We are running about tweire more men now than we were at thla time last year, and we haven't work enough for ao large a force, and unless things pick up some this week we will have to let more men out. We cannot keep men on the pay roiis when we bate nothing for them to do." TEAM OF HORSES IS FOUND Aalmala Taken by Waterloo Bask Robbers Tara t's at Calhowa.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the frames which they- plar anj the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, cornea the greater part of that healthful development which i so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and aweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acta, should be such as physicians would aatiction, becausojits component parts are known to he wholesome and the remedy itself free from erery objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the littte one enjoy, because of ita pleasant flavor, ita gentle? action and ita beneficial effects, is -Syrop of Fig and for the aame reason it ia the only laxative which ahotild b used by fathers and mothers. Syrttp of Figs i the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the ttse of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should b no carefuMy guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs asaiatance in the way of a laxative, give them only the aimple, pleasant and gentle Syrup ef Figs. Its quality is due not only to the ecellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic ayrup and juices, but alao to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
