Thus far i the stories of both partlea to
the controversy correspond and coincide
perfectly." But henceforward they differ
radically. Mr. Schechter, who appeared In
court In overalls and other habiliments of
a hard-working, honest cltlsen, declared
that when the egga were brought Into the
household It waa at once apparent, through
the almple medium of the sense of smell,
that they were neither strictly fresh, fresh,
medium, or almost-fresh. They were, aald
he, decidedly bad. He would not venture
upon an estimate even approximate of
their age, but they were bad.
Thereupon, it seems, the enilre Schechter
household. Including, father, mother and
two daughtera, hurried to the busy mart
where Wlntroub was still at work. With
them they brought the offenalve hen fruit.
Schechter, shaking the bag under the noae
of the butcher, demanded to know the
meaning of this outrage.
Wlntroub, who was wrapping up a chicken
for a colored customer, aaaerted that
the eggs were good, but added, caustically,
that they could not expect the best egta
for 15 cents.
Official figures prove the year 1907 to
ave been a prosperous one In Omaha. This
shown in the annual report of C. O.
Lobeck, city comptroller, Just compiled
after the final closing of all funds.'- Th.j
report haa been aent to the council and
howa a balance in all funda.

Comptroller Lobeck la pleased with the

"It might be aald that theae figures are

better showing this year than aver before,"
says the comptroller. "The city's affaire

DOLLAR EACH FOR PLAY PARK
Decided Oa to Malatala
Grenada.
Flv hundred people of Omaha will be
asked to contribute the sum of 11 each
for the maintenance of a public playground
In thla city. Thl ctlon haa been de
cided upon by the special committee ap
pointed Monday to devise wsys and means,
the committee being composed of George
E. West. Rev. George A. Beecher and
Rev. Fred L. Loveland. acting with Su
perintendent W. M. Davidson, president of
the Playground essooiatlon. The commit
tee will make its request public through
the newspapers, and hopes that responses
will be prompt
"Naturally, I am deeply lntereated In the
playground proposition and hope that the
people of Omaha will take hold of It In
the right spirit," says President Davidson
of the association, who sdds that If ha
was not Interested It Is not likely thst he
would have been chosen to head the work.
"I am sure that SOO men In Omaha will
contribute 11 each for the maintenance of
the grounds, for In my Opinion mo.iey can
not be put to a much better use than in
acquiring public playgrounda In the city,
where the youth can enjoy organcd play,
and In their mode of aelf-governtnent with
their Own officiate, learn duties of citizen
ship." The city council a short time ago sppro
prlated 1500 for equipping the playground,
but the money which the committee nsk
for Is to rent or buy trrounds a here this
equipment can be placed.
