By is vend ordinances passed by the. city
oouncil Tuesday night, lunch wagons,, fruit
stands, push carts and all sorts of. peddlers
and street salesmen were legislated out
of business In the downtown section of the
city of Omaha. Councilman Zlmman put
up a atrong plea for the lunch men, saying
there , were over ICO of them, most posses
sing large families, and that to throw them
out of business at this season of the year
would leave them absolutely with no sup
port This plea was of no ..avail and tbey
were voted out of business. . A frobJbltiva

Tie city council decided to turn back to

posted to Insure the installation of a plant

franchise granted at the polls a year ago.
City- Engineer Rosewater informed the
councl) tnat he had examined the new
plant of the Independent Telephone oom
pany and that he found the- plant in good
condition. He said the pavement over con
dults had been replaced... He'. reported the
work waa well done, aggregating 11.73 miles
of conduit and 64.47 miles of overhead lines,
being adequate to the city service provided
for In the ordinance granting franchise.
Member Zlmman opposed the return of
the money on the ground that the pro
Visions of the ordinance had not been com
plied with. He maintained the company
should have t.000 'phones Installed, be con
netted with Bouth Omaha and have the
streets repaired before the money was re
turned. It was shown that the company
Is required to keep a tl.OOO cash bond with
the city to insure the proper repair of tha
streets which the company tears up.
Zlmman Introduced . ao ordinance to
hand Flynn'a present department over to
the engineer's department, creating th office

the terms of the ordinance will have im
mediate charge of all street cleaning and
sweeping. He will have power to appoint

SlXTEEN-flOUR LAW AT WORK
Federal Statute EegTilatlnj Train.
Crews Time it Obierred.
ROADS DO ROT WATT FOR DATE
Westers Lines Are Flaelasr It In Ef
fect Althonfth It Is Not Dne
I'ntll March of Next
Ter.
Although the federal law prohibiting rail
roads from working their train crews over
sixteen hours at a stretch does not go Into
effect until March 4, 190, some western
railroads are making efforts to observe that
law at present The ' Illinois Central haa
several times of late hung up a train at
small stations In Iowa when the crews bad
been out sixteen hours and permitted the
men to lay off for ten hours. It Is said
the criminal liability of a road In case of
a wreck or other accident when the crew
haa been on duty more than sixteen hours
haa Impressed upon the management, of
the roads the gravity of the law, and
hence its close observance.
"For more than a year the Union Pacific
has striven to observe the new law just
as much as though It were In effect at
present," said A. L. Mohler, vice president
and general manager of the Union Pacific.
"The schedules have been ao adjusted that
a crew does not have to work more than
the specified time except In eftse of an
emergency. We have kept complete recorda
of the time the men have worked on each
run that we might the better adjust our
schedules."
"We don't lay off erews at small sta
ttons to rest ten hours, because we make
every effort to avoid such a necessity,"
said O. W. Loomls, assistant to the general
manager of the Burlington. "We are striv
ing to arrange schedules for train and
engine crews to ill in witn me new re
qulrements and hope to have the matter
so adjusted that when the law goea Into
affeot March 4 we will not have to work
a man over sixteen hours."
"The Northwestern has been working on
the new law for nearly a year," aald Frank
Walters, general manager yt the North
western. "Bo the new.law will be no hard
ship to us, for we have adjusted our
schedules to meet the requirements of the
law. I don't see any necessity for laying
a train up, at a (small station, for ths law
says that In case of emergency the train
may be run on in."
Railroad men say the severest, section .of
the new law Is that part 'whloh applies to
telegraphers, In' permitting 'those working
at stations open day and night but nine
hours a day. This WH1 require three men
tor eacn tower and atatlon open twenty-
four hours and at present telegraphers are
hard to get. The' law is peculiar in that
It permits operators working in - stations
which are only open in -Jthe day time
thirteen hours a day.
Car Orders Growing.
Railroad men say business haa. shown. a
good Increase for the last alx days,' each
day's orders for cars being larger than the'
day previous. Owing to the shutting 'off
of the cash supply some time ago grain
and many other commodities stopped mov
ing, with the result that the railroads had
a chance td clear up their tracks' of ac
cumulated business.-' The consequence was
that trains, both passenger and freight
have been getting through on practically
the scheduled time and It haa been a rare
occurrence that a passenger train haa been
lata. '' ' ,
A new schedule of express rates will be
put In effect In Missouri beginning January
15. The new schedule Is made up in two
parts, one to cover packages weighing 100
pounds and over, and the other for pack.
ages from one to 100 pounds. Under the
present schedule the smallest charge for
oarrylng a 100-pound package is SB cents,
ut the , new Tate is made pn a strictly
mileage basis. Under the new rate a one
pound package may be sent any distance
vp to 900 miles. for 16 cents, from 200 to 400
miles, 0 cents, and for all dlstanoes over
400 miles 25 centa

AFFAIRS ATS0UTH OMAHA
Murk Interest In Identity of New Men
to Be Appointed at
tock Yards.
Considerable Interest Is manifest In the
local appointments at the Union Stock
Yards. It Is understood that Everett E.
Buckingham Is to have freo authority In
this matter. Mr. Buckingham took up his
duties at the yards yesterday morning. J.
L. rax ton will be with him until January
L The appointments may not be made
much before tha first ft . the , year, A
large number of the commtaslon men and
the business men of the city who frequent
the Bouth Omaha yards called on Mr.
Buckingham yesterday to - become ac
quainted with hlin personally, as they have
long known him by reputation. His long
connection with ' the western roads has
made hla name familiar to nearly all of
the local . men. His long railroad expe
rience should, nVakeV htm . a ' good man, to
adjust the affairs between the roads and
the live stock Interests. He knows well
what can be done and what Is Imprac
ticable or Impossible In either department.
The people of South Omaha are preparing
to give Mr. Buckingham a reception and
banquet In the near future. The city coun
cil Monday night advised such an observ
ance to be participated In by the business
men's organization, 'the Livestock and
Trader's Exchange. Tlie'. first ateps for
carrying out the suggestion of the' ad
ministration, were; taken "csterday, "The
date' of the -banquet has not been fixed
but will be announced soon.
Hoc Market Looks Good.
Commission men of the T)mahjt exchange
are making note of the "fact that the mar
ket In Omaha Is keeping well abreast of
the Chicago market In the price paid for
hogs. The receipts here havs been normally
light, while In Chicago1 they have been
latterly pretty heavy. Th pros- here have
been regularly cleared at the prevailing
prlcss each day. Yesterday the prices were
again lower, the average was $4.80 to $4.35.
It is hoped that this Is the low point for
the week. It is quite likely that it may
be, for the receipts usually let up a little
after Wednesday. The trend of ths cattls
market, following th : eastern conditions,
wn a few points lower. TJte "sheep mar

"No more smoked salmon of a vivid red
color," said W. H. Harvey, who represents
a St. Joe wholesale grocery house, at the
Paxton hotel. "The good housewife will
henceforth hunt In vain for that saffron
hued fish which she may imagine has
grown to be a necessity on the family
table. Of course shs will get something
Just as. good and really better, but not
pearly as pretty. Her grocer may explain
to her the salmon species Is degenerating
and try to account for the copper shade of
fish he will show her In that manner. In
stead of the bright red fish he used to
sell her. ' '
"But the facts are thae: The vivid red
fish she used to buy waa colored by man
and not by nature, and 'while the color
looked mighty good to the housewife, It
did not look good to those enforcing the
new food low. The new pure food law
says the dye used In coloring the salmon
Is Injurious and dangerous to health and
the smoked salmon of the future will be of
a dull copper shade, which .Is the natural
oolor of the fish after being smoked.
Time to Get Teed to It.
"It wijl take sonlte time for housewives
to get used to the new color, and to believe
they are getting as good or better an ar
ticle ta of 'yore. .There are a lot of. food
articles affected by, the pure food law.
The syrup that used to, be sold' In tfottlos
and labeled '"pure maple ayrup' was not
maple syrup at all, nothing more than the
product of corn and cane sugars. Under
the new law It can be sold, but It cannot
be , labeled . 'pure maple syrup.1 , The label
.will. have to tell of, what It Is composed.
Another, article hat we all used to be so
fond of will no longer delude us, and that
Is the fine old Mocha coffee ws thought we
were buying. Of all of the put up Jobs
In the food line, this was easily the cham
pion, While millions of people were buying
annually great quantitlea of 'Mocha coffee'
there were only a few thousand pounds of
the real article being Imported to this
country. The new purs food law does not
prohibit people from using adulterated
foods If they choose, but It does give them
a chance to know Just i what they 'are
using." . .... j
