X Washington Garcramnt la Asked to
C'ntwa with Flttl Heeoa-nltloa
Man Who Looks Oat for
Bnlldlns;,
The magnitude of the Uta war that has
engaged the active attention of the War de
partment at Omaha palea Into Insignifi
cance betid the hostilities now prevailing
In the Janitor, messenger and watchman
service of the army building. The pay de
'' ' partment of the army and the Civil Service
department of the government are enlisted
,'4n tha hostilities and there in no telling
,.Juat. where and when tha war will end.
The trouble originates over the perform
ance of the apeclflc duties of the Janitor
and watchman department. Beven or eight
years ago Qeorge Ellet, a Veteran of the
, ..-civil war waa appointed to tha position of
, , Janitor of the army building. II was
t, given the title of Janitor, because no pro
vision had been . mad for the of
0 flo of watchman under that specific
, ltlt though his duties were those , of a
r watchman. Then oame a classification of
1 the various employments about the building
j, under the civil service rules and watch
.men ,were placed under the classification,
while Janitors were In the unclassified list.
Messengers were added to the service un-
i der the classification rules and a number
v .jftit them were employed. These messengers
j,.jWcre supposed to do clerical duty when
there was a demand for their aervices and
?., the caste line between watchmen, messen-
. gers and janitors was distinctly drawn. No
f difference existed between the salaries of
a; watchmen and Janitors. The only distlnc
tlon being that the Janitors were supposed
to brush off th desks of the various offices
and keep th building and corridors clean,
r, ' Promotion 'ot 1'oaalble.
r- No law or custom existed whereby the
.'.position of Janitor could ba promoted to
., tha: of watchman. Mr. Ellet, who la now
, ii years of age and who had exercised the
n- function of watchman as well as Janitor,
twu expected to do the lackey work ex-
eluslvely. Kfforts had been made to have
,,.,-hlm, promoted to the title of watchman by
..-many of the officers at army headquarters,
; but tha rules of the civil service depart
, .jnrnt were Inflexible and while Mr. Ellet
, -,--w a watchman de Jure he waa but a
Janitor de facto. Major Brad Slaughter
nntr4d hard to get Mr. diet promoted to
.n. watchman, but without result thus far.
t-,Aa watchmen wer needed, or rather as
,i 4here were a number of eligible In the
watchman list that needed a Job, several
-j, wera sent her on experiment from half
,1cway across the continent, one from Porto
j.alJUco and another from Atlanta, Oa., but
with discouraging results, and Mr. Ellet
continued to perform the exalted duties
f otn watchman, though under the menial
title of Janitor.
C naala of the Appeal.
-s Major Slaughter's efforts to secure the
f promotion for Mr. Ellet to the title of
- watchman were on the basts that as on
, soldier Mr. Ellet did not hav to
..-undergo the examination for the watchman
-.1 K'.r.v 'ce under the civil service requlre
j i;miU,. for the simple reason that, he had
j.r-5 yrrs exercised all the duties of watch
I man and was thoroughly competent, as had
j,lf)bcpn proven, and for the further reason
i ..that In his advanced years and growing In
:". flrmttlcs Mr. Ellet was unable to do the
j drudgery of a Janitor.. ,
i Hence Major Slaughter has asked Senator
' Burkett to see If the civil service rules
i cannot be found sufficiently flexible at some
point to give a meritorious old soldier and
I faithful watchman the little honor he has
j ' earned and relieve film from the more
i" menial labors of Janitor.

prospect Is unusually gloomy for any rally
In the price of hogs for several weeks to

Mr. Howe also announced Saturday morn
ing that with the opening of the week tha
wholesale men and packers would quote
a large decline In all produce and cold stor
age food products. The decline Is already
apparent In many lines. Eggs, butter,
poultry and cut meats will fall under the
general decline. It la not to be supposed
that the decline In the principal staples will
be as pronounced as In the live stock. The
demand for these products Is more uniform

WEEDS THAT ARE WHOLESOME
lome of the) Thlnara Scorned by Oar
Ancestors New Staple Artl
clea of Food.
Since the pure food law has gone Into
operation, one has new and strange
thoughts forced upon him by recalling the
number of weeds, fungi, and vegetable
parasites regarded as dHngerous, as well
as repellent to our ancestors.
Our grandparents regarded tomatoes as
the fruit of the weeds, utterly unfit to eat.
Th bushes grow wild In the middle west,
where .1 passed my boyhood, and were to
be encountered In the corners of "worm"
fences. Th tomato was a yellow or red
skinned pod of seeds about the site of a
nlum. In shape, It was perfectly round.
The fruit of this neglected weed has been
developed by cultivation Into the large
and succulent vegetable of today. It has
become one of the most valued accessories
to culinary art Invaluable In the prepara
tion of sauces and dressings for meats nf
many .kinds. And yet, physlslans Insist
thnt It contains the cancer gem.
When fnrmers cut their fnll-grnwn cah
hnges from the stalks which lifted them
nearly a font above the ground, prepara
tory to burying tho cabbages In the ground
or stowing them In the cellars of their
"smokehouses," they noticed that young
blubs sprouted around the tops of the
decapitated stalk. Nobody thought of
eating them In our American grandparents'
days. Hors snd sheep were observed to
be very fond of them. Onats, also, ate
them with avidity; but, then, goats throve
upon newspapers and were currently be
lieved to feed on tin cana. Those little
bulbs are the Brussels sprouts of our pres
ent dietary system! Opinion Is greatly di
vided as to the origin of the rahhage, and
for that reason the vegetable hasn't taken
a high rank among the family of edlhle
plants. Oermans rot It In a barrel, pickle
It. and name It "sauerkraut." That It Is
a development by evolution from the
"skunk-cabbage" of the ponds Is doubtful,
because Its leaves are quite dissimilar In
form. But It Is a food of very low origin.
The same may be said of turnips, beets,
and potatoes among the latter must be
Included the yam or sweet potato.
When tho French colonized the country
that Is now Louisiana, they found a weed
growing amid the bayous and overflowed
land along the Mississippi to which the
aborigines gave the name of "okra" a
word meaning a muddy place and prob
ahly referring to the localities In which
tho herb grew. It bore a mucilaginous
pod. which, when cut, exuded a milk
white Juice. When the Creoles got their
cooking outfits In working order, they
tried the weed as a thickener for their
porridges and found It very eatable. The
man or woman who ato the first dish of
okra soup must .have ben worthy of a
Carnegie medal. However, the weed be
came one of the staples of New Orleans
eplcurlanlsm. The Creoles called It "gum
bo," a reference to Its glutinous charac
ter. From that day Its place In culinary
art never has been In danger. "Oumbo"
Is hardly known In Paris; a French cook
will have naught of It; but It Is king of
all American soups, being to this country
what mutton broth, with barley, Is to
Scotland; what bouillabaisse Is to France
and puchara to Spain.
But the milk weed of the Louisiana
swamps remalna one of the food discov
eries of the world. The Roman gour
mands whose palates were so highly
trained that they could tell the difference
In taste between lampreys fed upon hu
man flesh and those fattened upon goats,
would have appreciated okra, or more
properly, "gumbo" stew. With chicken,
It Is a delight to the palate. Brooklyn

PAIR OF SHOOTING AFFRAYS
On Man Shot In the Lea: All There
Is to Show for Doming of '
Much Powder.
Two shooting affrays, the participants
of which were all negroes, busied the po
lice Friday night. As a result of the first
shooting, which occurred at 6:35, In John
Blanck's saloon at Thirteenth and Daven
port streets, Andy Locke Is an Involun
tary patient at the Omaha General hos
pital, with a bullet in his left leg, and the
man who shot him, Monroe Dryden, alias
Brocke, was later arrested by the police on
th charge of shooting with Intent to kill.
From the story told by Locke it was
learned that the shooting occurred over a
ring which Locke had pawned to Dryden
a few days ago and who In turn claimed to
have pawned It to some person whose Iden
tity he did not know, and when Locke tried
to redeem the ring Friday night in the sa
loon where the shooting occurred, Dryden
did not have it Following a few heated
words Dryden pulled a revolver, and Locko
followed suit. During the fusillade which
followed, seven shots being fired, Locke
was struck In th leg. When the smoke
cleared the room was empty of th con
course of saloon habitues and Dryden had
disappeared. Ixcke was taken to the hos
pital and attended by Police Surgeon Har
ris, who discovered the wound was not
serious.
The second shooting occurred about 10
o'clock In the evening, when Charles Har
vey, hearing that his wife waa In the
habit of holding clandeatine meetings with
another negro. Ollle Duke, in the latter s
rooms at 810 Dodge street, armed himself
with a revolver and went gunning for the
man whom he believed had alienated his
wife's affections. Harvey kicked open the
door to Duke'a apartments and discovered
Mrs. Harvey and Duke holding a conversa
tion In th room. Upon seeing the irate
spouse Duks tried to dodge behind a door,
but not before Harvey had fired at him.
Duk fell and lo th melee Mrs. Harvev
made her escape and waa followed by her
husband. Duk, with a bullet hole in his
coat, over his heart, made his way to the
police station, and breathlessly told of
th affair. When Police Surgeon Fltxglb
bons opened the man's coat to make an
Investigation a SS-callbr bullet fell to th
floor. Th cartridge had been a defective
on and . th bullet only mad a alight
abrasion on th skin. Duke later went on
his way rejoicing.
Dryden was arrested shortly after 11
O'clock In Council Bluffs, where ha had
gen after th shooting. II was brought
back to Omaha hy Detective Maloney.
Dryden claims that Locke was the first to
pull a revolver, which story was corrobor
ated by witnesses who were later ques
tioned by th police. On this information
th authorities decided to hold La-cke on
th same charge, shooting with intent to
kill.

SEW FACTORY FOR OMAHA
Bearing; Company Openi Plant at
Nineteenth and Nicholas.
TEN THOUSAND IN MACHINERY
Omaha Men Are Deck of tha Concern
and Have Contracts Now that
Will Keep Them
Bosy.
After many years of delsy during which
time the Omahans spend thousands of dol
lars prosecuting Infringment cases In the
t'nlted States courts, the Bearing Com
pany of 'America has opened Its factory In
Omaha and Installed 110.000 worth of now
machinery.
During the last week automatic ma
chinery for doing all kinds of work In
steel, was installed In the company's plant
at Nineteenth and Nicholas streets and
work started on many classes of work,
which has been sent to Chicago or evon
further cast In the past. The giant
automatic lathee take In pieces of bar atoel
four or five Inches In diameter and carve
from them almost any part of a machine,
dropping the finished . product out at the
opposite end with as much ease as a corn
shelled would take an ear of corn In Its
teeth and throw grain and cob Into dif
ferent piles.
- Printing Press Apparatus.
One of the Mist Jobs sent to the company
when the factory was opened came from a
manufacturer of printing presses and was
for rollers bearers. Expert Omaha ma
chinlsts "tooled up" the machinery and
from the long solid steel bars, the pieces
for printing presses were cut out and
dropped from tho machine like sausages
from a stuffer. The Job machine work
will be a large part of the business of the
Bearing Company of America, which Is
putting on more men as the work comes
In. The bearings which will be manu
factured will be under the patents of
Ceorge J. S. Collins, who has reduced
friction in bearings to a minimum. Instead
of placing the balls of the bearings In
the racea and allowing them to grind
against each other, as they do In ordinary
ball bearings, Mr. Collins has Invented a
bearing, which removes the friction by
means of separating devices, consisting of
small rollers placed between the balls.
Contracts have already been offered tho
company by automobile manufacturers for
the Collins type. They will bo supplied
to manufacturers of bicycles, carriages,
cream separators and automobiles.
The company has opened an office In
The Bee building, and officers are Arnold
C. Koenlg, president; George J. S. Collins,
vice president and general manager; Lysle
I. Abbott, treasurer and Will F. Sleden
topf, secretary.
ANTIQUE FURNITURE POINTS
Gennlnes Are Too Scarce, Therefore
Reproduction Mast Be
Made.
There Is a great demand for the Shera
ton, Chippendale and Heppelwhlte chairs.
The antiques are too scarce, and therefore
reproductions must necessarily be made.
Tha Sheraton chair with the open and
carved back In the most popular design,
though many patterns appear In the old
plates. The Sheraton and Heppelwhlte
models are well suited for the parlor or
reception room. Small Sheraton sofna are
also appropriate for these rooms. In
Sheraton days these chairs were not only
made In mahogany, but also In white and
gold, or In any other color. Sheraton was
not a great admirer of mahogany, but he
preferred satin wood delicately painted, or
Inlaid wood in the Chippendale style. He
was also an admirer of Japanned and
painted wood, as well as glided. It Is
said that Chippendale drew his Inspiration
from the French, Chinese nnd Dutch, and
his styles are the most mixed of the
cabinet makers of his day.
Mission furniture In dark oak adorns
many halls better than mahogany. If the
hall Is large, mission chalra may be ac
companied with a table and tabouret. A
settle of the same with a detached mirror
having hooks for hats and coats Is newer
than the hat rack and seat combined. An
entrance hall may also contain an odd
chair, which may be a family heirloom.
BODY OF NEIL HANRAHAN
Dead Man Picked np In Union Pa
cific Tarda at Sooth
Omaha.
Switchmen in the South Omaha XTnlon
Pacific yards fround the body of Nell Han
rahan' under the L street viaduct at 6:30
Saturday morning. The man lay at a
point midway between the ends of the
structure and had- apparently fallen from
the top of the railing. His left leg was
broken Just above the ankle, but there was
no other mark or bruise on his body. The
body was taken to the Brewer undertaking
parlors and an Inquest was held at 1 p. m.
"Death from an apparently accidental
fall from the L street viaduct, due to an
unknown circumstance," was the verdict.
In his pocket was his purse containing
nothing of value, but showing no disturb
ance. It waa tied up as usual. There are
some who hold the opinion of suicide, but
the evidence of that is meager. It is
thought the man might have been In
toxicated and have fallen over in his
clumsy efforts. It Is said he has been in
the saloons of the city since last Monday.
It has been learned he was a resident of
Omaha and that he worked at the smelter.
He lived at 618 North Forty-first street.
Omaha. He had a wife and one grown son.
The family reported he had not been at
home fur a week. He was about 5 years
of age. He was medium sized.

overruling a motion to set aside the dis
missal of the divorce suit of Susie Nichols
against Fred O. Nichols, Judge Kennedy
In effect has decided that an attorney must
collect his own fees In such cases and
cannot depend on the court to do It for
him. F. C. O'Halloran acted as attorney
for Mrs. Nichols In bringing the suit. After
it was filed she decided she did not want
a divorce after all, and without her at
torney's knowledge had the case dismissed.
O'Halloran asked that the dismissal be set
aside and the case reopened In order that
he might secure a Judgment against Nich

against him.

EXCHANGE FOR LUMBERMEN
Organization Will Be Formed by
Dealers in Omaha.
INTERESTS OF TIRADE THE OBJECT
Wholesalers and Retailers Will Meet
Monday o Perfect Their Plans
.Not to Tamper with
, Prices.
Wholesalers, retailers and Jobbers of lum
ber, together with representatives of the
Oraln exchange, Commercial club and Real
Estate exchange, will meet In the rooms
of the Commercial club at noon Monday
for the purpose of organizing a lumber ex
change. That the lumber business In Omaha has
reached such proportions that the united
efforts of the dealers would count for much
In dealing with questions of transportation,
giving the city and business publicity and
co-operating with other business organiza
tions, Is the opinion of the lumbermen, and
they Intend perfecting an organization
which will rank with those of other cities
In Its Importance to the community.
At present there are about fifty dealers
In lumber In the city, divided as to strictly
wholesalers, wholesalers and retailers, re
tailers and Jobbers.
"The necessity for such an exchange has
been shown In the Pacific coast lumber
situation," said one of the lumbermen, when
asked as to the work of the proposed ex
change. "The Pacific coast lumbermen
were shown to have a strong organisation,
and they all stood together when 'the rail
roads proposed to advance the rates, with
the result that the advance was prevented
for the time being, at leant.

DIRECT FROM THE ORIENT, a most comprehensive collection. Every ruff
to,
change In Omaha would find to do, the
transportation question being perhaps the
most important. Publicity would follow.
Few outsldo of Omaha know the Immense
wholesale business done here and that
dealers of Omaha are In a 'position to
compete with those of Chicago and Minne
apolis, even on shipments from 100 to 150
miles east of the Missouri river."
Within the last few years the lumber
business has been developed In Omaha to
a considerable extent and wholesalers have
met competition from , Chicago and other
markets. No feature of the exchange will
have to do with price making, according
to those Interested In the organization of
the exchange. Combinations or exchanges
for agreeing on prices have no place In the
legitimate lumber trade, and the dealers
declare they will consider no suggestion
that the exchange will ever have to do with
price making, but will devote their time to
boosting for Omaha as the great market
town of the Missouri river and protecting
themselves against any attempts on the
part of transportation companies to ad
vance or discriminate against Omaha
dealers.

Wants Govrrnmeat-Hallt Railroad
OMAHA, Nov. 22. To the Editor of Tha
Bee: Mr. Hill has again repeated . tha
statement that "we need more railroads"
and that "millions of dollars should be
expended each year for thd next ten years
to meet the requirements of the country."
He also points out the fact that under
present conditions money cannot be bor
rowed by the railroads for such Improve
ments, hence work along that line must
stop.. If the money kings pursue that pol
icy In the face of the real needs of tho
country, la there not some relief to be had
through the government? Suppose tho
government should undertake the work of
building new roads and let the question
of operating the old remain with tho pres
ent owners. Ry doing so the vexed ques
tion of determining the value of the roads
with the view of government ownership
would be settled.
The people will loan the government
plenty of money to build new railroads at
3 per cent or lees, and If tho present rail
road managers had the confidence of tho
people they could borrow all the money
needed for such Improvements almost as
cheap. Let the government build and own
the new roads If you wan a fair price
on the old. E. WIRTIt
