THE OMAHA DAILY REE: WEDNESDAY, NOVErRETl '27, 1907. FfiWLS HOLD BIG CONVENTION Thanksgiving Poultry Meeti .and De cide on Low Prices. DEMAND CONTINUES TO BE GOOD I'orlr Thousand JarVfj; Darks, Cffie and Chlrkeas Are Con innrl In Omaha Every Thanksgiving Day. Turkry. Recs. ducks and chickens hsve irathercd from the four point of thn com I'sm and an holding a grand pre-Thank-Blvlng convention In Omaha, Judging by the sound, th convention headquarters were near Eleventh and Howard streets In the heart of the wholesale district. ConaldcTably more than half the dele jrsitcs were "drssed" for the occasion. These came In barrels and boxes. They were piled everywhere In small pyramids and In diminutive mountains. Nor Is the Krest number remarkable, when It Is re membered that about- 0.0"0 Thanksgiving birds are consumed In Omaha. Those delegate which came In full dress of feathers traveled In crates. There were large di-legntlona nf ducks ( from Tortunk, Oslikosh, Tapllllon and other points, digni fied delegations of geese, boisterous bevies of young chickens and even some, guinea chickens. They made more noise than any con vention of men ever produced. The goese honked, the ducks quacked, the hens cackled, the roosters crowed. The dealers said the convention Is the largest held In Omaha In years. All Pawls Cheaper. "All sorts of Thanksgiving fowls are go ing to be cheaper this year than last," said a commission man amid the din of the convention. "Turkeys are now selling at 18 cents, ducks are 10 to 11 cents, geese 10 to 11 cents and chickens 7 to 8 cents. These prices are all for the dressed birds. But an hour from now the prices may be changed and the probability Is that they will be lower. "Compared with last year ducks, geese and chickens are much lower, the latter being about 2 cents cheaper than they were last year at' this time. The supply Is good. The farmers seem to be anxious to close out their stocks, while the big prices hold up." In the stores the demand for all kinds of birds to grace -the Thunksgtviriif .board la active. Prices Tuesday morning- were: Turkeys. 16 to 22 cents;, ducks. 12H cents; geese. 12H cents; chickens, 11 Vi cents. "But we are watching the movement very closely," said a dealer, "and the minute the market slackens or the demand eases, down will go the price. Turkeys have al ready dropped and the others may follow. LEADS HIS KIND ; TO DEATH 'Old Jim," Veteran at Parkin Plant, Haa None Other bat This Urlm Mission. Ills whole 'mission In Hfe Is to lead his kind to slaughter and he haa led thousands. Every employe who has been about Swift & Co.'a packing plant at Bouth Omaha knows "Old Jim." IH has been In the em ploye of the company dally for nearly fif teen years. He la large and g-uant, yet tame as a kitten. "Old Jim.". U the "lead ox." the mascot of the beef house,. It Is his dally duty to pilot the bard of doomed cattle up the chutes to the killing beds. Old Jim" Is hi a class by himself. His day Is almost past on tho ranges. He la of the old Texan breed and his horns spread over two yards from tip to tip. Tha company picked him , on account of his nne physique and his apparent sagacity. 3lnc then ha has learned his duties well. A Voice From Th e Stomach A. KloodJcsH Fight Between a Tablet and a Habit The Tablet AVlns. At the ago of 22, Clarence had good digestion. He had gustrio Jute that could dissolve doughnuts and turn applesktns Into good blood corpuscles. At the age of 24 he began, to be profuse about the waist and lean backwards. He also began to cultivate several chins. In his new-found pride be began to think It his duty to gorge himself on everything, the good and the bad, fdr appetite feeds on appetite and every good thing U abused. His pictures showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on. At the age of 29 Clarence -married and went to boarding. On top of all this, he attended oyster suppers and wine dinners, which reduced the sis of his collar from 16Vi to 13. With still abiding faith In the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals, and chewed them afterwards. At the age of 28 Clarence began to hear an inward voice a warning from the stomach. After each meal, ha would feel bloated and belching became a habit. He begun to be a light eater and a heavy thinker. He tried to think out a ure, for now ho would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat. He would sit down at his meals without the trace of an appetite, Just because it was time to rat. Ho would often feel a gnawing, ' unsat iHfled "aUH-hungry" feeling in his stom ach, even after he was through eating, whether his meal was well cooked or not. And ha suffered a good many other things with his stomach that he could not explain,, but that made him grouchy, miserable, out-o'-sorts and generally sour on everybody and everything. Finally he read an account, something like this, about the truly wonderful re sults obtained from . Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In all cases of stomach trouble, dyejx-)la, and so an. He bought a &)c box at the drug store, and took the whole box. When he started, he had little faith and less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith and more appetite, and mere good cher. Tilings began to taste different and better to him. Now he has no more dyspepsia, no more Indigestion, no more loss of appetite brash. Irritation, burning sensation, heart burn, nausea, eruotatlons, bad memory, or loss of vim and vigor. Remember, one Ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet will digest for you l.uuv grains of food, just as Is did for Clarence. This relieves you stomach of 'the work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Tour stomach has been overworked . and abused. It's fagged out. It needs a rest. Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the work of your atomaoh. Tou will be sur prised hoar fine you'M feet after eating, and how lusciously good everything win taste to you. Heed tha call of the stomach now! There's a world of good cheer la one box of 8t'jart'a Dyspepsia Tablets at 'any drug store, oc. . . , .

Stuart Co., Vti Stuarl llIJi, al&rshall, Micli Atjhe command of the driver he takes lils plarte at- the head of the drove and walks confidently up the steep Incline followed by the timid, nervous drove. If they run past him he paya little attention, for apparently hi knows they .will stop Soon. Likely enough they get In a close pack In the chute and those in front turn back on those behind. Then he exhibits the fine strength which carried him over the wild ranges with such magnificent speed. II plows through the close herd like an lnconqucratile full back against a horde of pigmy teams shoving the strongest aside with ease. When the new chutes were ready to be opened for the new killing beds last sum mer, Jim was the first animal tip the chutes. He went Into every pen undirected and looked It over wisely as If he knew all about It. When It cama time to lead op the herd he took the new chute Just as well as If he had traveled during all the years. He Is the first of his kind that ever want through these chutes and pens and cams forth alive. Men have wondered Just what feeble conception he has of the fate of those vanished thousands who have followed him, or If unthinking obedience to his master's voice Is the only principle he knows. Ha has lost all the wlldness of the range and every man who has a good word, a piece of salt or a lump of sugar wins a grateful follower In him. When nature demands him finally for resolution Into her simpler elements, he will never go the usual course Into dissolu tion, but the body will be carefully mounted to adorn some of the great offices of the company, a monument to hlmsef, the lust of "Old Jim."

COMMITTEE 0FBIG SHIPPERS Commercial Club Decides to Give More Attention to Hate Question. As a result of the move of lumbermen and material dealers for an exchange to handle traffic affairs and transportation troubles of the "carload" shippers the ex ecutive committee of the Commercial club will recommend that the transportation committee of that organization be com posed of the shippers and a rate expert probably will be secured, the shippers pay ing the expense. A committee of the lumbermen appeared before the executive committee of the Com mercial club at noon Tuesday and asked that the new committee be composed en tirely of shippers, and If those who have many dealings with the railroad companies desire, the club will establish a bureau and each of the large shippers will pay an assessment for maintaining the bureau be sides the regular Commercial club dues. The lumbermen say that the arrange ment is entirely satisfactory, but will not interfere with them organizing an ex change to promote the lumDer trade, give the market publicity and bring before the traffic bureau of the Commercial club the specific complaints of the lumber dealers. Co-operation between the exchange and club will be a watchword with the lumber men. In the absence of Commissioner Guild Miss lSL-llman, secretary of tho club, re ported that five .members had volunteered to go to Washington next wetk to repre sent Omaha at tho national rivers and harbors congress. The delegates are H. E. Palmor, J. I- Baker, John A. Scott, Henry T. Clarke and Charles L. Saunders. The executive committee passed a reso lution declaring against any parcels post legislation and objecting in drastic terms against the "United States government bar gaining to move or transport merchandise." As Postmaster General Meyer submitted his plan of parcels post to the club copies of the restitution will be forwarded to htm and metnters of congress from Nebiaska. W. A. l'oxton was elected a member of the club. TAX INTEREST AFTER FIRST Valrsa Personal Taxes Are Pnid He fore Flrt Kxtrna Will lie Tacked pu.
