v Seventh.
Racing- with th sHWp shearers of "Wy
oming and Montana, Utah and Bouth Da
kota, the construction gang working on
tha wool warehouse 'near the Independent
elevator will attempt to have a roof over
one end of the warehouse In a week and
over a aectlon large enough to accommo
date all shippers by the tlma the storage
In transit rates go Into effect, May 27.
Charles H. King, president of the Omaha
Wool and Storage company. Is put
ting forth every effort to beat the railroad
ratea by several days. The concrete gang
has done excellent work putting In the
four-foot piers on which the warehouse
will rest. As fast as the piers "set" the
carpenters put down the timbers for the
floor, which will hold a weight of 600
pounds to the square foot. As soon as the
upright timbers are In position the sheet
metal workers will begin the corrugated
Iron work and the roof will be placed over
one end of the new building before the
cement workers finish the piers at the
other end. Over 100 men are working on
the Job.
Sheep shearers are hard workers. They
are working at a rate this year which
will make the Omaha carpenters and Iron
workers push the work on the warehouse
as they have pushed few big buildings.
Contly Machinery at Bins.
Nearly oil the wool growers have bins
equipped with costly machinery. Formerly
the sheep wero clipped by shears, but
steam, gas engines or electricity are used
now. The machines are some faster than
the old-fashioned shears and do the woik
In a much more cleanly fashion, leaving
less wool on the sheep. The saving of from
a quarter to half a pound on each sheep
amounts to a great deal of money when
so many millions of sheep are sheared In a
season.
Some of the men shear 160 sheep per day,
the champion removing the fleece from 178
sheep, but the average is about 100 per day
for each shearer. The average fleece
weighs six to Beven pounds, and e:ich sack
contains BOO pounds of wool. Each shearer
will fill over a sack per day, receiving 8
cents for each sheep sheared.
At this rate It doe not take long to shear
a flock of sheep. leading the sacks on
great wool racks, some of the wool Is
hauled from thirty to eighty miles across
the prairies, drawn by six, eight and even
slxteen-horso teams.
All these forces are working against the
promoters of the- Omaha wool warehouse
and the carpenters and concrete workers.
There aro few stations In the west where
a single carload of wool can be stored
previous to shipment. It must be loaded In
the cars and shipped out almost at once.
"But we will be ready," said Mr. King.
"There Is no doubt about the warehouse
Doing ready by the time the railroad rates
are hi effect and that will be soon
enough." '
WOULD YOU LIVE A CENTURY?
Freak of Hundred and Twenty Years
How He Minmrd to Post
pone the Funeral.
"In five years from now It will not be
considered respectablo to be sick."
Many more cheerful promises were made
by Horace Fletcher to an audience, com
posed chiefly of women, that crowed the
Berkeley theater, New York City, to hear
him lecture on "Human Efficiency."
"Tho duration of life now should be 120
years," was a sentiment applauded by the
healthy. I
"The greatest source of unhapplness In
the world today is the mouth," continued
Mr. Fletcher. "You should eat when you
feel like It, eat what you may Crave at the
time, and, above all, you should chew your
Tood.
"You may feel like ridiculing the Idea
that It Is well to chew your soup. I will,
however, ask you to try It. It will Im
prove the soup and help you.
"Never eat when worried, nervous or
angry. It Is making and absorbing poison
to do so."
Mention being made that Dr. Wiley had
recommended the bolting of meat, un
shewed, like a dog, the audience was re
quested to try that method for a long
enough time six months was suggested
"to test the durability and desirability of
the plan In action."
"How about fastlngT" Inquired a woman.
"Fasting la nature's universal cure for all
manner of diseases," replied Mr. Fletcher.
"I have known cases of rheumatism (hat
have been completely cured by a fifteen to
thirty-five day fast. I know a physician
who fasted for twenty-one days, during
which time he neglected no profeslonal
duties, and at the end of which he was
cured of his trouble. I know another man
who has Blight's disease, and at the end
of a fast continuing for thirty-seven days
the disease was gone. The man was en
tirely well. A wart that bad embarrassed
Mm was also gone."
"What suggestions can you offer for
Dally meals?" asked another woman.
"I have answered that two or three times
In tny lecture," Mr. Fletcher replied, calmly.
"If I do not know what I will want to eat
ftt a quarter post 6 tonight, or that I shall
want anything, how can I tell you what
you will want tomorrow T I eat when I feet
like it twice a day once a week as the
case may be. I eat moderately, but of the
particular thing I want. If I feel like
irrtnee pie first and soup last, why, I eat
my mince pie first that ts all.
"I am nearly sixty. Eighteen years ago I
was denied life Insurance.. I had several
so-called chronic diseases. I was weak.
discouraged, unhappy. Life had few charms
for me then. I suppose the chief reasoa
I dldr.'t commit suicide was fear that I
"m'.tht miss something agreeable on this side
of tha Rlrer Btyx. I am growing steadily
younger, and have been for many years
now. It Is because of my eating. I nurse
my appetite up to a high pitch of keenness, "
Mr. Fletcher said there wera 200.000 fam
ine In the country saving at least $1 a
day through the adoption of "Fletchertsm."
The financial benefit was, he said, the least

ALLIED WETS TO FIGHT DRYS
Organisation of Bnalneaa Interests Al
lied with Brewers Looks
Bl.
Simultaneously with the convention of the
United Brewers' association In Milwaukee
on Juno 8 to 10 a new organisation of 60,000
big business concerns will be formed. Tlyi
main object of this league will be to com
bat the prohibition wave.
The brewers will not be leaders In thla
move, although they may Join It. The mem
bers of the new league will be malstera,
manufacturers of special brewing machin
ery, dealers In brewing supplies, real estate
men, contractors, builders, wagon makers,
glasamakers. Insurance men and perhaps
even the agriculturists who raise the barley
from which the malt Is made.
The new association will be. In effect, the
Joining together of the local organizations
which have bcrn formed In various parts of
the country. The executive officers of the
local clubs will meet here to perfect the
national organization.
These allied tradesmen, especially the
dealers In hops and malt, have tried for
some years to persuade the brewers to or
ganize all the allied trades to aid In the
war on prohibition, but the brewers threw
cold water on the proposition, being timid
about Inviting the more numerous supply
men to Join their own ranksi
While the brewers held aloof, however,
the maltsters formed an association of their
own under the title of the United States
Malsters' association, and the hop growers
In the more Important producing centers
have done the same. At Chicago the mer
chants and manufacturers formed an Inde
pendent club, which Includes all firms that
do business with the breweries.
As an outcome of these spontaneous
movements In various parts of the country
the leaders of the allied trades concluded
to organize a national allied trades move
ment on a practical basis. At the sugges
tion of these men the United States Brew
ing asosclatlon's organization department
sent a letter to the brewers asking for the
names of all persons with whom they did
business. The responses proved unexpec
tedly large, and there Is now a list com
prising 60,000 names.
At all the principal brewing points local
and state manufacturers' and dealers' clubs
are being formed, there now being about
thirty of these organizations. They have
all taken an enthusiastic Interest In the
campaign against prohibition and local
option. The success of these local clubs,
however, has brought the necessity for a
national organization more clearly Into
view than ever as a means for co-ordinating
the work of the local asosclatlona.
The 60,000 prospective members of the
national association do not Include the
farmers, and It la expected that these and
other additions will make the membership
100,000 by the time the new organization
Is ready to be launched. The main sig
nificance of this movement lies In the fact
that It was started entirely Independent of
tho breweries. Chicago Tribune.
STRANGE DEATHBED DIVORCE
Orthodox Hebrew Woman Ontwlts
Provision of the Mo
saic Law.
To save herself from participation in what
orthodox Jews regard as the most solemn
and distressing ceremony, known as "Che
lltze," Mrs. Mary Chartman, a pretty 19-year-old
woman of Williamsburg, Brook
lyn, was divorced from her husband, Noah
Chartman, whllo he was lying on his death
bed In Bellevue hospital. New York. The
decree of divorce was granted to her by
a rabbi and glvea her the right to marry
any man that she chooses.
According to the Mosaic law the widow
of an orthodox Hebrew must marry her
dead husband's brother In the event that
she Is left childless. But the brother of
the deceased must be unmarried, and un
less she marries she must undergo the
"Chelltze" ceremony.
There were two reasons why Mrs. Chart
man sought a divorce from her husband, to
whom she was married only a few days
ago. The first was that she didn't want
to become the wife of her husband's brother
and, then, she didn't cere to go through the
strange ceremonies known as "Chelltze."
Had her husband died she could have mar
ried someone else instead of her husband's
brother If he had granted her "Chelltze."
Now It won't be necessary for her to
go through "Chelltze" in the event that
her husband dies, because she has been
divorced from him.
The strange cermony is performed In
the temple on the Sabbath morning. The
brother of the deceased dresses himself
In the "Klttel" In which religious Jews
are burled. A large wooded shoe Is put
on his right foot. Around the shoe is
placed a strap, a part of which is tied into
a very tight knot. The widow is compelled
to enter the temple, which Is pitch dark,
and she is ordered to untie the knot. It
often takes three to four hours to untie
the knot, because she Is permitted only to
use the first two fingers of each hand. If
she falls to unties the knot, she can marry
no one but her husband's brother. New

BLIND MAN'S TRAGIC FATE
Overcome with Joy of Sight Re
stored, Batterer Sud
denly Dies.
"I can see; 'Father In Heaven, I thank
Thee." The cry startled the nurses of the
Infirmary at the Masonic home at Broad
and Ontario streets, Philadelphia, on the
afternoon of May 0. It came from Hezo
klah T. Bailey, aged 77, who for five years
had been totally blind and had been an
Inmate of the Masonlo home since last
June. Sitting up in his narrow hospital
bed, the old man, with an awed face, de
scribed with gloating delight the various
articles In the room. One by one he men
tioned the chairs, the table and the medi
cine bottles In their methodical rows, and
then, stretching out his arms to the win
dow, he whispered over and over, "And
God's blue sky over all. Oh, it Is good; It
Is good."
The doctors who came to hlra pronounced
his sight perfect, and for two hours he sat
up reading the papers with a sest born of
five years of darkness and watched with
unfailing delight and Interest the passing
of the clouds across the sky outMde the
window. Then suddenly he turned to the
nurse and said quietly: "I'm very tired."
Hardly had the words left his lips when
he slipped back upon the pillows and be
fore the nurse could reach his side ha was
dead .
Two reasons are given for his death, one
that the shock of his regained sight caused
heart failure and the other that the power
to see was merely tha final rally of a
dying man.

TEN AUTOISTS ARE SPOTTED
Prominent Men Charged with Exceed
ing the Speed Limit
COMPLAINTS FOR THEIR ARREST
Chief Donahue Declares Lsm Shall
De Obeyed Ed Morgan Chases
Offenders with n Mo
torcycle. ExceedingThe speed limit of twelve miles
an hour In automobiles within the city
limits Is going to be stopped.
As the first movement toward this end
complaints were filed against ten auto
moblllsts Saturday and warrants Issued
for their arrest. The ten are:
Lee W. Spratlen, former police commis
sioner; J. J. Derlght, automobile dealer;
Frank II. Gaines, attorney; E. M. Fair
field, general manager Omaha Water com
pany; W. H. DeFrance, attorney; E. L.
McShane, F. R. Hedrlck. cashier Live
Stock National bank. South Omaha; E. R.
Needham, all of Omaha and F. A. Nlns of
Dawson and J. McGee of Bennington.
"The terjlflc speed at which automobiles
are driven through the streets of the city
In absolute contempt of tho city ordinances
Is a great menace to pedestrians and
vehicles," said Chief of Police Donahue.
"Accidents are frequently recorded all over
the country due to nothing else than fast
and reckless driving. In Omaha we are
going to use an ounce of prevention which
will prove more effective than a pound of
curve. If tho police department can help
it there will be no deaths or accidents
due to fast driving."
Police Will Pursue Them.
The police department has rented two
motorcycles capable of a speed of forty
five miles an hour. Emergency Officer
E1 Morgan Is the chauffeur of one of
these and Officer Rlegelman of the other.
For the benefit of such autolsts as wonder
how the officers can get a clue to them
when they dash past at a speed of fifty
miles an hour or so It may be stated that
the officer merely presses a llttlo lever
on his motorcycle and flies after the auto
mobile at a speed of as much as forty
five miles an hour. This enables him at
least to get the number of the automobile
and the number gives the correct clue to
the owner.
Officer Morgan said he pursued several
cars Friday using the top speed of forty
five miles an hour on his motorcycle. Yet
the automobile gained upon him.
"Hereafter we will leave no loophole of
escape to violators of the speed ordinance,"
said Captain Dunn. "Not only will the
chauffeur of the car at the time of arrest
be charged with exceeding the speed limit,
but all the occupants of the car will be
charged with disorderly conduct."
The cases of the ten against whom com
plaints were filed Saturday are to come up
In police court Monday.
