CAMPAIGN OPENS FACTORIES
Give Stlsnala to Industry and Sends
Oat Mlllloo of Cellalold
Battona.
Instead If stifling Industry the presiden
tial campaign ha put some Idle factories
to work, notably the makers of celluloid
button.
The era of button with mottos, the latest
wrinkles in slang, plotures of presidential
candidates and other expressions of opin
ion, has returned.
Four years ago, when campaign button
were Issued, hundreds of other varieties
kccompar.led them. It wss not necessary
to do much talking. The buttons were so
numerous that a fairly satisfactory con
versation could be carried on by sticking
buttons on the coat. With a small pocket
of celluloid buttons one person could tell
the other that he wss broke, that his wife
was out of town and he' was looking Tor
a Job. The buttons not only told presi
dential preferences, but performed all the
functions of a dumb man's pencil and pad
of papr.
One of the first buttons of the "funny'
order was the great hit four and eight
years ago. It simply said "Girl Wanted."
The buttons were sold by the bushel and
were worn by both those wlt really
wanted girls and those who had.no busi
ness asking for a girl.
Windows of the novelty stores of Omaha
are full of buttons. Not only Taft, Bryan
and "Jim" appear on them, but there are
tho favorite heroes of comic opera and
heroines of the stage. There are
those with mottoes and alleged cute saying.
One big white celluloid button has a white
metal stork fastened to it and the words.
"Ain't It Awful. Mabel?" There are a full
hundred varieties already, and the dealers
cannot get them fast enough to supply the
demand.
The celluloid front Is fashionable again.
Everyone will soon wear buttons, regardless
of the belief that It la more pious to 'use
only hooks and eyes.

to Wool Growers' Association
In Hon of iela Ware
home for Omaha,
With the endorsement of the Omaha
Clearing House association. Onha Com
mercial club and South Omaha Live ?tock
exchange. C. H. King of the Omaha Wool
and Storage company left Thursday after
noon for Salt Lake City, where l.o will
offer to practically give the National Wool
Growers' association his new warehouse
and transfer to the association the leases
on terminal property If it will enlarge
the warehouse to one of 100.0no.ono pounds
capacity and make It the association ware
house. The executive committee of the National
Wool Growers' association meets In Salt
Lake City next Tuesday to take final ac
tlon on the location of a great warehouse
by the association, where millions of
pounds of wool will be collected and sold
each year. Omaha, Chicago. 8t. Paul. Den
ver and other cltle are bidders for the
warehouse of the association. As Omahan
originated the Idea, they believe they
should be given the wirehouse, and Mr.
King is hopeful of success.
Clearing; lloaee Act.
At a special meeting of the Omaha Cear
lng House association held Thursday to
discuss the wool warehouse proposition
Mr. King wa given strong letters by the
bankers of Omaha to lay before tho ex
ecutlve oommlttee. It Is understood the
Omaha bankers have pledged to meet the
proposition of the banktrs of any other
city In the United States and assured the
wool growers of all the money they will
need on the usual irems and at the mar
ket rates tor collateral loans.
The wool warehouse committee of the
Commercial club met at noon to discuss
the situation and wired Commissioner H,
M. Guild to go to Salt Lake City and as
sist the Omahans In presenting the bid
for the warehouse. Mr. Guild is at liU
summer cottage at Lakes Okobojl on
two weeks' vacation, but said when he left
Omaha that ir It became necessary or If
he could do any good he would go to Salt
Lake City In the Interests of the ware
house. Luther Drake, president of the Merchant
National bank, who attended both the
Hearing House association meeting and
the committee meeting at the Commercial
club, said: "I feel that Omaha should bj
selected by the National Wool Growers'
association cs the location for the big
warehouse. We have started the wool
market here and must get this big ware
house, which means the making of , the
market." f
Stock Yards Delegates. '
In a special car a delegation of twenty
five from the stock yards at South Omaha
ltft Thursday for Cheyenne to attend the
frontier day celebration and five of the
party will go on the Salt Lake City to
boost for Omaha In securing the ware
house. President J. A. Delfelder of the
Wyoming Wool Growers' association wired
Mr. King that he Is on his way to Salt
Lake City and will do everything possible
for Omsha. The Great Western Railroad
company will have two representatives at
the meeting, in 8alt Lake City and the
Union Pacific will have one. The two rail
road companies favor Omaha as the logical
location for the warehouse.
James Paxton and Nat Houston accom
panied Mr. King and they will be Joined In
Salt Lake City by Robert Taylor of Abbott,
Neb., the state representative on the ex
ecutive committee of the National Wool
Growers' association. Mr. Abbott favors
locating the warehouse In Omaha.
Goodlaar Favor Chicago.
Fred W. Gooding of Shoshone, Idaho, 1
president of the national association. It i
said Mr. Gooding Is personally In favor of
locuilpg the warehouse In Chicago, believ
ing the manufacturers will come from the
east to buy the wool jn storage at Chicago,
but would not come to Omaha. Mr. King
has prepared arguments to meet this Idea
of President Gooding, believing that the
manufacturers will be only too glad to
come to Omaha to buy the wool Instead
or sending expensive men to the ranges
of Wyoming and Idaho, and added to this
Mr. King will urge the fact that Wyoming,
Montana and other western growers can
come to Omaha conveniently while It would
be difficult for them to go to Chicago when
their wool Is to be sold. He wyi also urge
that since wi per cent of the wool grown In
the United States In produced west of the
Missouri river, there is no excuse for ship
ping the wools to Chicago, but they should
be sent where the sheep are shipped, to
Omaha where the grbwers can come and
have something to say about the sales.
Mr. King says the wool growers do not
think Chicago would be much of an Im
provement on the present arrangement of
consigning to Boston.
ROMANCE ENDS IN DISCORD
Mrs. Francis Garner Ellison Leaves
llsikssd of One Year anal Reats
Separate Home.
An end to the romance that led to the
marriage of Captain Francis J. Ellison and
Mrs. Olive B. Garner a year ago last April
came Wednesday when Mrs. Kllison left
the house at U South Twenty-ninth ave
nue, where they had been living, rented
apartments of her own and began a re
plevin suit in county court to get pos
session of the household furniture. Under
direction of Constable Hensley the writ
was served Thursday and the goods were
moved to Mrs. Ellison's new home.
Friends of Mrs. T.l!son say she lias
found It Impossible to live with her hus
band and a divorce suit Is expected to fol
low. The furniture Mrs. Ellison secured
under the writ of replevin was that which
she had when she married Captain Elli
son. April So. 1.". It wss stated by Mrs.
Ellison's attorney that Captain Ellison
had refused to give up the goods until the
legal action was taken.
The maniage of Mr. Ellison and Mrs.
Garner, widow of a former prominent ex
press transfer man, caused considerable
surprise among her friends. She waa
about ten years his senior. After the mar
riage they lived for some time on a chicken
farm near Benson, but later moved Into
the city.
Ellison was for some time superintendent
of one of the two humane societies In
Omaha, but this organisation suspended
about the time of his marriage.

Kty-Klsht Marriage.
Wherv Chries WvSavldge spoke the little
piece which wedded Miss Rett Stevens
and LeRoy Morris of Logan. la.. Thursday
he balanced his bocks and announced that
It waa No. 1"W. and the cash account
bowed he had collected an even Iio.oko for
marriage during his ministry of nearly
thirty years.
Thi 1 an average of a little mote than
1300 per annum for the minister and he has
received on the average of 13. 98 for each
ceremony.
As Rev. Savidge always has had the rep
utation, borne out by the record, of per
forming more marriage ceremonies than
any other preacher, and it is said a Bow
ling Greene would spring up wherever he
moved, it will be seen that even with a
big business a minister does not get rich
when following the modern Inclination of
piofesstonal men of specializing.
Rev. Mr. Savidge has specialized. But
at 1333 per annum his specialty does not
yield an Income which would cause any
minister to become opjlent in a lifetime.
Though the minister says he ha the ac
count of how much he has made, the
amount of a minister's expenditures aft
not kept where moth and rust creeps In
and corrodes the books, but the minister
says not a cent of the $10,000 ever has been
expended In a cause which would cast a
shadow on the pure white disc of morality.
"Does It pay a young man to enter the
ministry and make a specialty of marrying
people?" the minister was asked.
"Not unless he first marries someone
with plenty of money," was the serious
reply of this man who has drawn enough
people about hymen's altar to make up a
good-slsed congregation.
UNCLE JULIUS STILL LEADS
Mr. Meyer I Elected President

If the levy for eounty purposes I the
same as It was last year, approximately
l-S.M) more would be raised than was pro-
Lduoed last year, owing to the Increase In
the valuation of property.
Figure compiled by County Comptroller
Poloiux'n for the County Board of Equalisa
tion show In detail the lncreas-s In tha
various funds If tb,e levy Is left as it was
last yesr. The board had a meeting Thurs
day morning, but transacted no business,
adjourning until Saturday, when It Is hoped
the report from the 'state board will be
available and the county levy can be made.
The levy last year was 11 1 mills. The
valuation In 1'7 one a one-fifth basis was
lo&Hi.S: this yesr It will be tM. 476,000.
The same levy as last year would produce
an Increase of I17..'S In the general fund,
$2,118 in the rosd fund. $7 S3 in the bridge
fund, KMi In the bond sinking fund and
1 In the soldiers' relief fund. The levy j
last year produced SuS,2cl.S9 In all funds
and the same levy this year would make

The report also shows the comparative j

statement showing the general running ex
penses of the counly were U'.'e.SSO.l? for the
year ending Jane JO, not Including the
money paid for a new detention home and
transfers from the genetal to the road fund.
This discloses It costs about 11.300 per work
day to run the county government. The
money to pay these expenses was raised
from the general levy and from fees col
lected by the various county officers and
turned Into the county treasury. The levy
for the fund raised J..S.SJ and the
amount of fees collected was 1106.720.31.
making a total of lS.3v;.63, or about 14.000
more than was expended. Of the expenses
of the county 3,474.51 was for salaries
from this fee fund.
Owing to the amount of work done on
the roads and bridges this year there are
now pending S3C.3C8.r7 In claims against the

man&gements of the exposition to have a
number of distinguished persons In Omaha,
several from abroad, during the exposition,
and the outlook now la for a large number
of foreign exhibit. Argentina will praticl
patc. The Argentina farmers sre among Uie
chief competitors of the grain growers of
the United States In the markets ot the
world and. during the last few years, hsve
succeeded In securing more and more of the
grain trade of Europe because of the type
of corr which they are growing. The Ar
gentina farmers have produced a hard type
of flint corn which matures and dries out
well. It can be shipped to Europe with
greater safety than the corn in the United
States, even though It crosses the equator
on the way to market. The lack of mois
ture In the Argentina corn is one of Its
greatest advsrxages over corn growth In
the United States, and this corn will be ex
hibited at the corn show and compete for
the prizes.
There Is now a possibility of several well
known railroad presidents being present,
one of whom will probably deliver anad
dress. Traffic officials of all the railroads
In the west are planning to come In, pri
vate cars, which will be parked, and tho
railroad men will spend several days at tho
National Corn exposition.
