"Farewell, old canvas back ham, first re
membered meat of school-boy days; faro
, well, long, yellow mysterious packago of
bacon; and likewise, good-bye, also, mon
dieu."
By one stroko of the pen, the Nebraska
food commission may place the yellow
. packaged ham and bacon, as old as home
spun, on the list with other good things
which disappear beneath the wheels of the
engine of progress. Not because there Is
anything the matter with the hams and
bacon, or even with the yellow package,
but because the packers say It will be lm
posslblo for them to state the net weight
of each piece of meat on the yellow pack
age. If the food commission Insists that
the weight must go on the canvas the hams
and bacon will not be wrapped In the fu
ture. .
With the hams will disappear the blocks
of wood and long strips of dimension lum
ber which have deceived thousands when
wrapped In the yellow jacket and hung in
front of the butcher shops as an advertise
ment for the real article. Thousands of
these clever devices for making the shop
pers hungry for ham and eggs, will be left
in the btitchcr shops, to be used as kind
llrnj or preserved as souvenirs.
la-al .Aspect of the Law.
In a brief prepared for the packers by
General John C. Cowln. their attorney, the
legal aspect ef the ham is set before the
food commission, and all the secrets of the
packer of yellow backs disclosed. Central
COwin say it will be Impossible to wrap
hams and bacon If the commission requires
the "net weight'' on each piece of meat;
that If the"' meat Is left out of the package
there will be a greater loss from shrinkage;
retailers and consumers will not receive
the benefit of the thirty day guarantee
given by packers of canvassed meats; the
loss from spoiling will be greater, and
another loss from the accumulation of dirt
on the meat without the yellow jacket.
Then the attorney for the packers, argu
ing that the net weight should not be re
quired on packages, clinches It all by say
ing that the price will be higher to the
consumer higher even that It Is now or
ever has been should the packers under
take to put the price on the wrappers.
It Is hinted that the groaning board of
the metropolitan laboring man may still be
supplied with nesselrodo pudding with
maraschino sauce which Is only 11,26 per
pound; with pommes de terre fraises, at
13 per dozen; frlcandelle de folo gras at tl
per pound, terrapin coquets, fricasse

-1 V JeJWHe .bam, and. bag) n... wrapped
in all paper' and canvas, then dipped Into
a mixture of mud .'from the saffron marshes
in the Yellowstone, will be too utterly beyond.
Triple Strenu-th of Wrapped.
Attorney Cowlh tellB of the triple strength
of the wrapped hams and bacon, as shown
by a chemical analysis, saying that fresh
hams and bacon contain from 75 to 80 per
cent moisture. As the ham goes through a
process of curing, lasting over sixty days,
the aniriunt of moisture is reduced mater
ially, until the finished product has only
49 to 50 per cent moisture. As the hams are
stored In the warehouse of the packer, or
the back rooms of the retail butcher, they
keep on shrinking and losing moisture un
til there Is no time during the existence of
a hnm when It has a weight which it la ery.

is no tten,pt to deceive because ttho meats I "if a spcc,a, ,clon cf conRr8 caIed
are not said to be of any certain weight, and at the present time," said Governor Shel
as long as the food commissioner does not ! don, "it will create altogether more agita
requlre the packers to mark the weight on i Hon than It will nllny and there Is grave
possibility of weakening tire confidence of
a package there can be no deception.
The question between the packers and
food commissioner is one of considerable
Importance to consumers In that the price
will be effected should the commission re
quire the marking of the meats or else the
packers will discontinue wrapping the
hams and bacons In air tight packages
which gives the consumer a superior qual

becoming Impure.
GRAIN EXCHANGE IS GROWING
Takes In FIto New Members, Making;
One Hundred and Sixty
Six in All.
Five new members were admitted to the
Omaha Grain exchange at a meeting of the
directors held Saturday evening, bringing
the total membership up td 168.
The new members arc W. J. Winston of
Miner & Co., Chicago grain dealers, who
will open an office in Omaha, in charge
of Mr. Winston; E. A. Nordstrom, secretary
the people In the banking Institutions of
the United States. Tho financial difficulty
Is being handled well by thoso who are
most vitally affected and I am confident
that the situation will be under perfect
control soon.
"With 12,000,000 bales of southern cotton
demanded by the people of foreign nations
and with graner'.es running over with their
contents needed for export purposes, the
situation has all the elements of solution
if the people of the United States will re
main self contained. I can see no benefit at
this time of an extraordinary meeting of
congress. "
The iMianec of Warrants.
State Auditor Searle, who Is out of ta
city and has been away for a week or
more,' wrote his deputy, H. I,. Cook, this
morning suggesting the possibility of re
fraining from issuing state warrants dur
ing the present financial flurry. Mr.
Searle's Idea was that the money of the
state would thereby be left In the banks.
The law on this course was Investigated
by Mr. Cook as soon as the suggestion was
of the Nebraska Hay and Grain company; recelved and he declared u t0
A. K. Bewsher. who Is opening an of- take such action. Mr. Searle was cognisant
and entering the business for himself after cr the possibility of a mandamus suit being

Mr. Buchanan succeeds Bowsher as
secretary of the Omaha Elevator company,
one of the strong members of the ex
change. The constant growth of the exchange
Is shown by the new memberships which
are being applied for every week. The ex
change was organized four years ago with
about a score of grain dealers and has
grown with the market until It Is one of
the strongest exchanges at any of tho
twelve primary grain markets of the llnited
States and Europe, as guarantees of thor
ougfy and reliable inspection.
CHECKS NO G00D ON CARS
Out of Reason, Says I.eossler, for Pas-
senders to Expect Paper
to Co.
"It is out of reason for a man to expect
our conductors to take the cashiers' checks
in payment of his fare," said R. A. Leuss
ler, secretary and assistant general man
ager of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company. In speaking of the Inci
dent on the Farnam line Saturday night
when a man refused to give a conductor
anything but a 15 cashiers' check for his
fare and started a rumpus. "It stands to
feaaon our conductors could not take those
certificates, because In the first place they
have not enough change to cash them .and
they are not equipped as bank clerks und
not allowed to take checks of any kind, so
why should a man expect tnem to take a
certificate. Under normal conditions they
could not carry enough money to cash
checks, and If they would cash them at
this time people would flock on the cars
to get their certificates cashed. We will
take the certificates In payment of tickets
at our office."

White Purchased a Team.
An account of the purchase of a team of
horses by Superintendent White of the in
stitution for the deaf and dumb has been
recently distorted by some of the yellow
journals. Reading an account of his trans
action, Mr. White came down to Lincoln
today to show what actually happened.
When former Superintendent Stewart left
the Institution, he took with him a team
, of horses he owned, leaving but one horse
there. This cost' the state JG5 and was
sold by Superintendent White for $S5. He
then commissioned his brother In Iowa to
buy him a team, which was done for $350.
The team Is worth the money and the trans
action Is perfectly regular.
I County Attorney English has written
Food Commissioner Johnson that he is
ready to commence proceedings In Douglas
county against milkmen who dispose of
milk that does not contain the legal amount
of butterfat.
More Cream Rntc Hearings.
The centralized creameries and the rail
roads are liable to have another hearing
before the State Railway commission in the
very near future. The railroads are con
templating asking permission of the rail
way commission to put In a charge for
returning to the stations, from whence
shipped, the empty cream cans. At this
time the rate promulgated by tho commis
sion for the shipment of cream Includes
thereturn of empty cans, but the railroads
claim they have also returned the cans
without cost. The creameries claim the
original cost of the shipment of cream In-

That a producer should wax enthusiastic over his own wares is

not guilty.
Lucus killed one Lester, a hired hand
in his employ, about 'five years ago, in
the southern part of Phelps county. Ho
was first tried In Phelps county, and the
Jury found him guilty of murder In the
first degree. The case was appealed to
the supreme court and reversed for a new
trial:'- The defendant then secured a
change of venue, and the case was brought
to Harlan county, where It was tried
about a year ago, when the Jury, found
the defendant guilty of murder In the sec
ond degree, and he was .sentenced to
twenty-ono years in tho penitentiary. From
this Judgment and verdict, the defendant
appealed to the supremo court, and the
upreme csurt rgaln reversed the cae on
errors appearing In the Instructions of the
trial courf, a..." the case being tried this
term, the defen.lmt went clear.
The trial has cost Thelps county about

$57. using the( name of C. A. Borum, and
obtaining the money thereon. Upon ap
pearing In the county court, he entered a
plea of guilty, and was bound over to the
district court. County Attorney Thomas
immediately filed an Information against
him In the district court, and he was
brought before Judge Adams, where he
pleaded guilty. Before the Judge passed
sentence upon Urn, he began to interrogate
the defendant In regard to the cause of
the crime, his home, relatives, etc. On in
vestigation, it was apparent that the young
man is unbalanced mentally and it was
thought best to have the plea of guilty
withdrawn and the matter continued for
Investigation. It Is ascertained his sister

not believed that the.y will have serious

GRAND ISLAND At a meeting of the
Commercial club a resolution was unani
mously adopted deprecating any attempt to
change tho custom In this oltv of placing
all matters of great publlo concern before
the voters at regular eeloctlons, through
different candidates, and leaving minor
local matters In the hands, f tho execu
tives, there being a list of .clean city and
county officers to look to tlio enforcement
of tho law. Well intended thougii sucli
efforts might be. It was pointed out In the
resolutions that they bring about strife
and dissension and Grand (aland desired to
stand united, and tils Should continue, to
be so, the minority abiding cheerfully by
the decision of the majority'.' It Is hoped
that the polite suggestion and request will
receive the respectful consideration of the
few of extreme Ideas who conlempluted
drustic action, which has not the support
of tho community as a whole.
