PEDDLER WALKS INTO TRAP ells Cliy Inspector of Welajhta and Mrasnrea abort Bnsbel of Apples. J. Q.- Pegg, city Inspector of weights and messuras, says It Is poor policy for a short " weight peddler to sell short-weight apples at the home of the man whose official duty It Is to see to It that equitable weight or measure Is given. B. Nowlch, a peddler, sold three-fourths of a bushel of apples to Mr. Pegg on Frl dsy and Saturday a complaint was. filed In police court against htm by thir-r-lty In spector. But this wss not the only com plaint filed during the day, flv others against four other dealera being also filed. One of these was filed agalnat J. Flnkln atine, 1910 South Tenth street, who sold "OUR BUTTER BLENDER." A machine blending one pound of butter, with on pint of milk (pint to the pound), making a pur food product, doubling the original weight of the butttr, that stsnds up Ilk butter, looks like butter, tastes lika 'butter, keeps like butter, and la used aa butter on dining table and in kitchen, has received tha endorsement of Doctor R. B. Martin, President of the , 8tat Board of Health, of Virginia, at the Thirtieth Annual Meeting of the State Medical Board, Octo ber a to 14. 190. at Richmond, Vs , when he said: "The machine produces an abso lutely pur food product, from the blending ot a pound of butter, with a pint of milk. Jn fact I cannot tell It from the original butter." N. Uofheimer, of the Jersey But ter Co., Norfolk, Va., when told of the workings of tha wonderful machine, on Oc tober t. IMS, said: "That machine will put us butter people out of business." A child of twelve can operate tha device, three minute's time consumed la tho blending, capacity four pounds. Send two dollars to the City Savings Bank of Baltimore, Md., or direct to us, and owe us one dollar If the machines doea aa advertlaed. If not we re fund tha money. Agents wanted, territory for ssl.

Two complaints were filed agslnst M. Rosenblatt, coal dealer. One of these la for selling what purported to be a ton of coal, but which weighed 1 pounds short, and the other for using scsles which had been condemned. JIM WILL N0WSTAY HOME Daklraaa Retoras front Lincoln Ed Howell to In trod ace Home Role Bill. Mayor Jim Will now bs good and stay at home. The miyor says lie has made his last Junket for many moons, and since tho people have defeated his close personal and political friend, Bryan, for tha third time, ha will hldo himself In his office and at tend strictly to business. Ito may go to Washington to attend the waterways con gress, but that will not be until In De cember, and be mty not go to that. Mayor Dahlman returned Friday from Lincoln where he went with several other ot tho faithfuls to take their condolences and sympathies to Mr. Bryan. When they got there, however, they found that the defeated candidate did not want their sym pathies, siys the mayor, as he Is not tak ing his defeat hard. Mr. Bryan told the emissaries from Omaha that ha Intends to tako a trip soon to rest up and forget the trials of the campaign. While he will go on a hunting trip. Mayor Dahlman will not accompany him. While in Lincoln the mayor had a con ference with Governor-Elect Shallenberger, who told htm that a home rule law for Omaha and South Omaha will be enacted first thing by tha legislature and that a law guaranteeing bank deposits In Ne braska will also be enacted. Ed Howell, one of tho Omaha senators elect, will Introduce the bill Intended to give so-called "home rule" to Omaha and South Omaha. At least Mr. Howell says he will. "The formulating and introducing of a bill giving home rule to these cities should be one of my perequlsltes," said Mr. Howell. "I drew up the city charter In 1896 which originally contained provisions giving the mayors the power to appoint the excise boards, but this never became ef fective for the reason that amendments were made before passage. Now that the democrats have elected a legislature pledged to home rule for Omaha and South Omaha a new law will be enacted, and I Intend to father It. Whether the new law will give appointive power to the mayors, or whether It will provide for the election of members of the board, I do not know aa yet. It Is early and I have lots of time." COLLIER'S BOOSTS CORN SHOW Gives Editorial Comment to the Na tional Exposition to Be Held In Omaha. Old King Corn gets a merry old "boost" In the editorial pages of Collier's for the current week. The National Corn exposi tion In fact Is called to the attention of readers of the weekly In vigorous words from the pen of Norman Haprooi. r- may be added that advocaey of an exposition In the editorial columns ot Collier's Is not an usual thing and the benefit to the ex position will be all the greater for this reason. The paragraph spoken of Is as follows: The Pascal ear reoroduced- shove m sold for $160. The grand sweepstakes ear of corn at the National Corn exnoaliinn Chicago last year sold for $260. To the farmer ine ouierence neiween good seed and bad means a profit In tlie bank or another year of nose to the. grindstone. Of 7,878 cars or, corn soia on tne Chicago Hoard of Trade last June, 4,332 morn than half were "low grade." The corn-belt farmer should be ashamed of this. The American oat crop has so degenerated that the break fast food makers lack raw material. It Is all a matter of good seed. County and state fairs give $2.0u0 in prizes for trotting horses snd $10 for ears of corn. The Na tional Corn exposition, to be held at Omaha. December -!, will give a $S0O prise for the beat bushel of corn seventy ears and a $410 prise for the best twenty ears. Good seed Is corn that lias vitality to resist disease and drouth, rich l the oils snd protein that make the layers of lean In bacon. It takes as much land and hoe-wear, as much horse-sweat and elbow grease, to grow poor corn as the best. CUT OUT THAT WORD "FAT" Decree of t'onrt la In Favor of M. C. Peters In Patent Right Case. Judge W. II. Munger Issued a decree In the case of M. C. Peters against the Stock Tarda Cotton and Linseed Meal company and II. C. Cherry Saturday morning, directing the defendants to obliterate the word "Fat" from their advertising ma terlst. The order grows out of'sn action brought by the M. C. Peters company of Omaha, manufacturers of the product and owners of the trade mark "Alfal-Fat," against the defendants which afterwards produced a product under the name of "Alfalmo-Fat." thus Infringing ' upon the trade-mark of the complainants. The order ot Judge Munger requires that the defendants shall remove the word "fat" from their stationery and other advertising material, which Includes certain pamphlets as well aa 16.000 bags enclosing the product of the defendants that have not so fsr been brought Into use. M'LAUGHLIN HOME IS SOLD Handsome Residence Is Hold to James Howard for Elahteen Thoa rnd Dollars. One of the handsomext residences In the west end has been sold at a comparatively small price, Charles D. McLaughlin trans ferring his residence at 607 8outh Thirty seventh to James Howard for $18,001). The sale Is made In the name of Mrs. Helen McLaughlin, who has been the titular owner of the property. The residence Is one of five In the block between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth streets and fronting on Dewey avenue. Three other homes In the square ara owned by Messrs. Cudahy, McShana and Mrs. Uallagher, each of these occupying an acre. The fourth section of the square was owned by Mr. Mclaughlin, who sold 100 of his 187 feet to N. B. Updike. Mr. Howard'a purchase thus Includes ths resi dence and the remaining eighty-seven feet. FOSTER AND STONE ARE CUT Both Badly Slashed la the Third Ward for Thomas and Boland. In order to verify returns msde by ths precinct boards the canvaaalng board Sat urday morning opened two machines. In tha second precinct ot the Third wsrd the vote on Thomas and Boland was almost double that of the other candidates for the legislature on the democratic ticket and the board thought an error had been made. An examination of the machine disclosed the voters had cut Foster and Stone on the republican ticket and concentrated on these two. In two or three other precincts the books were not In very good shape, but no discrepancies In tha vote were found. The count Is proceeding slowly snd will not be finished until the middle of the week.

For sale by Beaton Dixit , MORE MONEY NOW TO INVEST Capital Will Be Plentiful and Easi ness Will Boom. VEBSION OF OMAHA FINANCIERS John I.. MrCaane Predicts Fonr Years of Soch Prosperity This Coaatrr Haa Not Vet Known. More money for lnvesmenta. Big orders to wholesales, jobbers and manufacturers. This will result and even already has re sulted from the election of Taft. according to the statements of Omaha financiers and wholesalers. Recent as the election Is, the effect In business is already perceptible In Omaha and this, although almost too quick for belief, If possible because the outcome of the vote was somewhat anticipated and men have been waiting only for the formal verdict on a question cf which they knew the answer In their hearts coupled with Mhese statements the same con servative bankers and distributers prophesy a period of unprecedented prosperity for the whole country in general, but for Omaha In particular. "Great sums of money will now' seek the channels of trade and Investment," declared John L. McCague of the McCague Invest ment company. Investors have been wait ing for ,tlie result and are anxious to put out their money. It will not, however, re suit In a depreciation ot Interest rates. Quite tha contrary, because the number of business men who wish to borrow that they may extend their operations, will at least equalise the other factor. Every legitimate venture can and will be accommodated and the outcome will be a period four or four and one-half years at least, of pros perity and such aa this country has hardly ever seen, for never was, the country In so good a position to forge ahead. The effect of last fall's flurry Is entirely worn off now and tendencies toward "wlld cattlng" have been completely removed." No Need to Borrow lu East. O. W. Wattles, vice president of the United States National bank echoed Mr. McCague's views. "Rates of Interest will be higher, I think, for there will be a big demand for money by business men. The outcome ot the ejection has absolutely settled all questions of uncertanity and the west and Omaha In particular will enjoy remarkable prosperity and growth. Building will be on a great scale and there Is every reason to believe that Omaha will grow tremendously In buildings and population. We have the money, plenty of It, and there is not the least need to borrow a single dollar from the east." Wholesalers are already concretely ex periencing the result of the election. It would seem almost too early for traveling men to send in Increased orders to their houses, but this has actually happened in some cases, although travelers have hardly had time to pack their grips and get out on the road since they cast their ballots. Besides this feature, however, there Is much significance In the way future orders are being s placed with manufacturers by local wholesalers, for all realize that the mills are going to be extremely busy and there Is something more than a possibility that If they do not hurry, their orders may not be filled next spring as quickly as they could wish. "Business has strengthened notably dur ing the last four weeks," asserted V7 M. Burgess, vice president ot the M. E. Smith Wholesale Dry Ooods company, "for re tailers have anticipated tho result of the efection. This Is nothing, however, to what will be experienced by wholesalers and Job bers in the next six months and, for that mattor, for several years to come. "Ono effect on business will be a stif fening of prices and we have already been informed of several advances." Mr. Bur gess' statement was confirmed at the very Instant the words left his lips, fur a clerk brought him in at that minute a telegram notifying hlin of such an advance in a staplo line. "You can predict," he added that In all lines of business there mill be an Increase In volume and traveling men who receive part or all of their Income from commis sions will make pretty good money for a long time to come." "Prices will stiffen; have stiffened al ready," said William M. Glass, general manager and secretary of the Lee-aUtss-Andreesen Hardware company. "All mar kets should bo stronger, I think, and sev eral advances have already been registered with us. Orders for goods have been-better of late, for the result of the' election was anticipated by many business men. It is not a question of politics at all. Tha situa tion simply Is that men feel that politics will no lunger disturb business conditions. The country Is in shape, the west in par ticular, to go ahead as it has never gone beore and all business will prosper ex ceedingly."

" At the close of three months of reckless llssipation and extravagance under the "ulse of the son of Theodore Hamm, tl" brewer.
