tha den of King Ak-Sar-Ben about 200
Llncolnltes who have been commanded to
appear and take their medicine at the
hands of Samson. The occasion will go
down In history a "Lincoln night at the

word that Omaha is expecting a big crowd

Scheme to Boost -Nebraska.
"We a I ssree that the way to advertise,"
said Labor Commissioner Ryder, "and wo
are all aware at least, those who have
given the matter serious attention that
Nebraska has not taken proper steps for
spreading knowledge of Its resources and
still open opportunities. This bureau has
been writing to several real state firms
out of the state, as to the possibility of
getting all the real estate gien of the slate
together for a ronalderaion of concerted
action In an advertising campaign that
would give state development In general a
boost. My Idea, at first, was to interest
only the real estate dealers and land
owners outside of the Urge cities, but It
has tlnce occured to me, In a vision of
grand possibilities, the whole brotherhood
of land men ought to be brought In if
possible.
"Such a meeting as 'I ' have In mind
could be held during the state fair In
Lincoln, for preliminary canvass of the
feasibility of the plan, and later a second
meeting ought to be held during tha Corn
Exposition In Omaha, to hear reports
of committees from the different sections
of the state which commllttees would ba
appointed at the Lincoln meeting.
"It seems to me that the dallies In the
cities and the country papers of Nebraska
ought ' to take up this proposition and
asceretaln how It would appeal to public
sentiment. While traveling ahout the state
many things have come to my notice that
convinces me Nebraska can make presen
tation of Inducements for the thousands
who will still be contemplating a chanun
of location the coming fall and next
spring that are not surpassed by any other
state which has land still available for
settlers who desire to be farmers, and
numberless chances for home-makers In
the different communities. ' With some
asslstenre; from competent men I have in
mlhd, all men 4ntergd in Nebraska'" soil
and Nebraska's future could be Inter
ested In a way that ought to mean much
advancement within the next, few years.
We are to have good Crops, on the whole;
and good prices will prevail In spite of
even a presidential campaign. So, why not
go after the most dos'rahle movers system
atically and nil together?"
Norrla at Headquarters.
W. F. Norrls of Wayne, who for nine
years has been on the bench In the Philip

and sack the officers found seventeen
quart bottles of beer, two and a half gal
lons of whisky and two quart bottles of
alcohol. The men were taken Into the Jus
tice court of Judge J. A. Lawrence this
morning, where they both pleaded guilty to
the charge of Intoxication, evidently ex

fine. The Jude fined them $50 each and
costs and they went to Jail. King Is abla

could not pay. Cook is an old soldier. It

New Home
Within a few weekg Omaha's first
Independent cracker and biscuit fac
tory will begin the manufacture of a
Una of high grade producta In a large
remodeled and Ideal building at
Twelfth and Jones streets. It will be
a "daylight" factory in every sense
of the word, from its financial organ
ization to its oven floor. The pro
prietors will be ready at any time to
prove that it is a strictly Independent
concern, not controlled by any other
company or corporation, and they will
be willing at any time to show anyone
the absolute cleanliness of the fac
tory and purity of their products, by
keeping open house that the public
may Inspect the plant.
The first to give Omaha a strictly
Independent cracker and biscuit fac
tory was J. J. Iten and O. H. Darmet
tler of Clinton, Iowa, who organized
recently the "Iten Biscuit Company"
with a capital stock of 1160,000, all
of which is held in Omaha.
Mr. Iten Is a member of the firm of
L. Iten & Sons of Clinton, independent
cracker bakers, who have built up. a
reputation for high class and honest
goods along the Mississippi river,
which is only limited because the fac
tory, though enlarged many times, has
never been able to produce all the
goods which the company could sell.
Mr. Iten's father was the founder of
the business. The sturdy old cracker
baker not only left his sons an estab
lished business, but left them person
ally equipped to operate the plant just
as well as he operated It. "I had to
start cleaning pans," says Mr, J. J.
Iten, and this Is taken to mean that
he was at the very bottom once. No
"office" Job for the Iten sons, no po
sition where they could wear tailored
clothes and dictate correspondence.
They got Into white duck suits and
worked In the mixing rooms, around
the ovens and in the packing depart
ment, where they learned the business
thoroughly.
Mr. Iten is to move his family to
Omaha from Clinton. Mr. Barmettler
has already removed to Omaha. The
wcrk at Clinton goes on, the factory
there turning out the same grade of
goods which are to be made In Omaha.
The Omaha factory will be the most
modern plant of the two because some
Improvements have been made In
cracker making machinery since the
last machines were Installed in the
Clinton factory.
Ovens In the Omaha factory are In
place and a few machines are still to
OBSTACLE TO CARTER PARR
Davit and Kountze Will Fight for
Their Value of Land.
BOTH ENGAGE LAWYERS NOW
Opposition on the Part of These
Owners of' Lake Front Land Is
Not Unexpected by the
Park Board.
Before the din of applause of Mrs. Ballna
C. Carter's benefaction dies down, an ob
stacle to the park board's creating the
beautiful resort by means of the $50,000
she gave the city, arises In the Thomas
Davis Realty company and the Kountie
estate, which own property bordering on
Cut-Off lake and Included In the area de
signed for purchase with the Carter dona
tion. Most of this property Is In the lake.
This opposition was not unexpected by
the park board, though the hope was ex
pressed that Mrs. Carter's philanthropy
would Inspire a spirit of general magna
nimity that would facilitate the carrying
out of the plans looking to the establish
ment for the city at the lake side of a
handsome pleasure ground and resort.
Attorneys have been retained by the
realty company and also by the Kountze
estate to resist any steps which the park
board may take to secure narrow strips of
their property along the shore for park
purposes at any appraised valuation whicn
does not take into consideration the value
of the land to which the present owners
have title and which Is now "In the lake."
Tract of Forty Acres.
The Thomas-Davis Realty company owns
a tract of forty acres along the northwest
shore tf the lake. Some twelve or perhaps
fifteen acres of the tract is land and the
remaining thirty-five to thirty-seven acres
in water. The land Is In a triangular
shaped tract, and, according to the owners,
the Park board wants to buy eight or ten
acres along the shore, cutting off five or
six acres which wil have no water front.
The owners believe the Park board will
want to pay J 100 to 1150 per acre or per
haps $1,000 for the strip along the shore
and will then Institute proceedings to get
possession of the water. Thus, they claim,
the entire tract with the exception of the
five or six acres cut off, will pass Into
the hands of the Park board for something
like $1,000 to . 500. The owners affirm ths
forty acres to be worth from $12,000 tt
$15,000. It Is, at present, leased to Swift
and Company for Ice privileges.
The Kountxe estate also has retained
special attorneys to oppose the Park board
securing a long strip along the shore of a
tract similar but larger than the Thomas
Davis tract and whrich is leased to several
Ice companies.
"We are willing to meet the Park board
half way or even more," said E. J. Davis,
speaking of ths coming litigation. "But
the water front desired by the Park board
Is valuable property and worth consider
able money."

be installed. As cleanliness is next to
godliness, the first thing the Iten Bis
cuit Company did was to get next. All
the ovens and all the machinery will
be white enameled. Then a speck of
dirt will show and some one will have
to clean it up as soon as it is found.
With the ovens installed the new
factory will consume 100 barrels of
flour daily, converting the great
amount into the "Iten Biscuit," put up
in 5-cent packages, and the "Fairy
Sodas," one of the most famous brands
on the market, as well as into the bulk
"crackers" and six score of fine bis
cuits and cakes.
To handle this business one hundred
people will be employed. Only a few
expert cracker bakers will be brought
from Clinton to Omaha to head the
new force of the Iten enterprise. All
others will be employed here, the ar
bitrary closing down of a "trust" fac
tory throwing over one hundred people
out of work during the middle of last
winter. Some of these trained cracker
makers have already secured good
places with the new independent com
pany, while others will be recruited
of the Missouri river. This method of
getting In touch with state organizations
was discussed by the national committee
men at Chicago and Mr. Hitchcock said
then that If called on to act as chairman
ho would go out over the flold and meet
the active workers of the party.
GAS BELOW THE LEGAL TEST
For Forty Days Standnrd Set by Ordi
nance lias Not Been
Reached.
"We will have a good lllumlnant In
Omaha or know the reason why. The or
dinances of the city are to be enforced,
not winked at. If any of our ordinances
will not 'hold water' we will pass others
that will. The gas ordinance Is no more
stringent than in other cities and the gas
company must abide by Its provisions."
In this way, M. F. Funkhouser, chair
man of the lighting committee of the coun
cil, expresses his views on the low quality
of gas furnished the last month and takes
occasion to say that the company will be
forced to live up to the city ordinance and
furnUh gas that tests 600 British thermal
units. Mr. Fur.khouser says he will take
the gas proposition before the committee
of the whole next Monday afternoon and
endeavor to pass a resolution directing the
city attorney to take the necessary legal
steps to make the gas company abide by
the ordinance.
City gas has been below grade for forty
days. This Is shown by the records In the
office of the gas commissioner where tests
are made every morning. Bach morning
the gas company has been notified that Its
product was not up to grade, but for the
last month it has paid no attention to the
demands of the city gas commissioner and
has persisted In furnishing low grade gas.
The ordinance providing that gas shall
test 600 Eritish thermal units has been
In force since December, 1906, and up to
the fore part of last June the gas company
lived up to Its provisions with the ex
ception of minor lapses of e day or two
at a time. Faillure to keep gas up to test
Is punishable by a fine of $100 or Imprison
ment for thirty days. The penalty provided
by the ordinance has never been Imposed.

and converted into a modern biscuit
factory, the trade has been supplied
from the Clinton factory and already
hundreds of dealers are handling the
Iten lines because of their superior
quality. Quality has always sold the
Iten goods. Whether it is a private
family or a hotel, the retailer or the
Jobbers, who try the line, they have
always become friends of the Iten pro
duct. There's a difference between
the biscuits which Mr. Iten and his as
sociates make and those of other com
panies. Just what makes it is the
secret of the success, but it makes
quality whatever it Is. The biscuits
are crisper and seem to stay crisp;
they are richer and seem to taste more
like all crackers were intended to
taste; they are baked Just right and
carefully sorted. There are no "bit
PERMIT TO LET TOTS PLAY
License Is Issued by Mayor Allowing-
Children to Ride Wagon
Down Street.
The next time the neighbors try to stop
Julius Taylor from coasting down Nicholas
street, from Fortieth. Julius will flash on
them a permit to coast signed by Mayor
Dahlman.
Julius Taylor, a little negro hoy 11 years
of age, and his 6-year-old sister, Helen,
called on the mayor Thursday morning and
presented their petition to be allowed to
ride In their "little express wagon by our
house on Nicholas street." They told thoir
story to the mayor and explained the
"crankiness" of a nelgnbor, who "didn't
want little boys and girls to have a good
time," and so Impressed Mr. Duhlman with
their straightforward story that he gave
them permission to ride In their wagon.
"I do not know as I ever before gave a
permit for a little boy or his baby sister
to play, but you take this permit and the
next time someone tries to stop you from
having a good time all by yourself and not
injuring anybody else, you show it to that
person and, I guess, they will let you
alone," said the mayor.
. The children's mother Is an Invalid, and
for this reason Julius and Helen trudged
up to see the mayor alone.
NEBRASKA SHRINERS IN IT

Mr. and Mrs. William Daly of Rawlins,
Wyo., were In Omaha Thursday morning
on their- return from Bt. Paul, where Mr.
Daly attrnded the Shriners' convention.
"It was the biggest and best convention
ever held by the Shriners," said Mr. Daly,
"and the Nebraska crowd was distinctly In
It all the way through. We were In hopes
that Seattle would get the next convention,
but Louisville won out. Some of these
days we are going to bring the convention
to Omaha and then you fellows down here
will have your hands full. I can't say Just
when it will come to Omaha. That's up to
you fellows. Wyoming Is with you on that

Every cracker is Just as good as the
last one and every package the same
as the flour, care and other ingredi
ents are all the same.
When the Iten Interests realised
that their trade was growing out of all
proportions to the Clinton factory,
they recognized Omaha as the logical
point to handle the "western" trade
and decided early in the year to locate
a factory in Omaha. They never ex
pected to be able to handle the busi
ness by opening a sales agency or a
branch. It was a matter of doubling
the factory capacity as well as having
goods nearer the consumer and the
machinery for the Omaha factory was
ordered in February of this year, al
most sixty days before the announce
ment was made or the building bought.
To enable the dealers to get ac
quainted with the line, the company
has been Jobbing the entire line of the
Clinton factory, but next month the
same goods will be made in Omaha,
which Itens are making "The Cracker
Town."
