Officials Home from Dearer. Many Union Pacific officials have re turned from the third annual meeting of the operating officials of that road, which was held at Denver Monday and Tuesday They report a most Interesting meeting, at which they gathered much raluable Infor mation. One of the most interesting fea tures was the lecture on automatic block signals by Charles Hansel, consulting en glneer of New York. Mr. Hanset Installed the first block signal in England and also has been In charge of work In France and Germany as well as In this country. His lecture Included the story of block signals from their Inception to the present time.

This Is In accordance with the rules adopted by'the railroads operating under the Western Classification agreement and which were made effective when the uniform bill of lading was adopted and will be binding on the public after December 1. This agreement was reached at a confer ence between the railroads and the Inter slate Commerce commission.

Stryker, secretary of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange, have already arranged for a number of brief addresses, one of which win be by Governor-elect Shallenberger, who Is something of a Short horn breeder himself. Model Kitchen Department. The model kitchen department of the ex position continues to be flooded with re quests for Information about its work and the number of exhibitor promises easily to exhaust the space allotted the department, although this Is large. Any number of In quiries come, too, regarding accommoda tions for the young women who are coming not only from every county In Nebraska, but from a dozen other states as well to attend the lectures and demonstrations in the model kitchen department conducted by Miss Jessica Besack, famous for her knowl edge of 301 ways in which corn can be pre pared for table consumption. LOCAL PACKERS NOTTOUCHED Unaffected br the Decision of Com mlssloner of Patents as to Labels. The decision of the commissioner of pat ents to the effect that no manufacturer of food products or drags would be allowed to use a label bearing the words: "Guaran teed under the pure food and drug act, June 30, 1908. does not affect any of the four larae South Omaha packing houaes. The nlanta In South Omaha put a different label on all their producta, whatever the descrip' tlon. It Is "United States, Inspected and passed." None of them is allowed to attach the label until the actual inspection la com pleted and then only in the presence of the sovernment inspectors. The United States government has Inspectors under the di rectlon of the bureau of animal Industry in each packing houso a'd In each department. The application of the act will be to con cerns which have no government inspectors, such as the manufacturers of breakfast foods, catsups, canned fruits. Jellies and drugs. It will apply to a few Independent packers. The Independent packers in South Omaha use no label other than the weight marks and the firm name. They do no In terstate business. Their business Is en tirely under state control. In the future auch labels to be correct should read: "We guarantee this product to have been manufactured In compliance with the pure food and drug acts, June SO, ly." and equipped for the convenient storage and handllngof building material and coal. It was tha first yard located on high ground and. with Independent trackage fa cilities, proved an Ideal one.

The Inroads In the cement trade made In ao short a tlmo by th young company Is Supposed te have aroused the envy of the older dealers and led to the purchase of the plant. The terms have not been divulged. The property and stock on hand represent an Investment of about 175,000. Mr. Sm-Ift retires from tha management, as well as from the company, and will de vote himself to some similar line of business. DR. STRAUSS WANTS TO BE PAID Enteraearr Hospital Physician Asks Relntbnnement fur Loss at tained by Fire. Next Wednesday morning Dr. Strauss, physician In charge of the Emergency hos pital, will .be able to draw his first salary since September, providing, however, that the appropriation ordinance passes upon Its last reading next Tuesday night. A week ego the council adopted a resolution authortslng the city comptroller to Include In the appropriation ordinance the sura of 3U for the emergency fund. This waa done and the ordinance passed the first two readings Tuesday night and will come up for final passage next week. Dr. Strauss was in the city Wednesday to see If there is any way by which he can recover on the loss he sustained personally In the recent fire at the hospital. He lost most of his wardrobe and tit In bills which were in his trousers' pocket, leaving him with only some small change In his purse. The fire also destroyed a silk hat the doc tor won in an election bet, together with new pair of patent leather shoes. As it cannot be figured out that the city is to blame for the fire, the physician In charge of the hospital does not exactly see how: he can recover oa the kk SWIFT COMPANY SELLS OUT Bnlldlna Material Concern Is Bonsjht by Hall and Snnderland, Who Will Operate It.

"So far as possible Omaha and South Omaha-made products will be prepared In the kitchen for the banquet.

B. Tagg, chairman; G. T. Ingwerson, J. B. Blanch a rt. It was determined to hold the banquet at the Commercial club rather than at a hotel In order that the affair might seem more In the nature of a homo event and be less fctrmal, the informality of the evening being assisted by a ruling that evening dress will not be permitted, nor dinner Jackets. From 6 to 7 a reception will be held, the South Omaha members of the club, the entertain ment and executive committees together constituting the reception committee. ONLY PARTIAL PUBLICITY Democrats Do Not Keep Their Pledge to Pnbllsh All Contri bntlons. Councilman Lee Bridges, treasurer of the democratic county committee, says he will post a copy of all contributions to the democratic campaign in the club rooms of the Dahlman Democracy and that all in terested persons can see the list there. He will not publish the list, as the demo crats persistently promised before election, for the reason that it would not be worth while, he says. "We only promised to publish a list of those contributions amounting to over $100," says Treasurer Bridges. "Some of these contributions are for an even 1100. but none of them are over that amount. We are not going back on our promises by not publishing the list then, see?" The campaign contributions amount to $2,370.49, $15 having been paid Into the fund since election. This post-payment was made by C. H. Wlthnell, city building In spector. The Jlmocrats have been loud In their denunciation of the building Inspector since election for his failure to contribute to the slush fund. All the democratic candi dates as well as all the offlce-ohlders and appointees holding Jobs by grace of Dahl man, put In their mite, but Mr. Wlthnell failed to come across. ' Finally the dissen sion came to the ears1 of that official to gether with the unceremonious announce ment by a number of Jimocrat leaders that Mr. Wlthnell could not look for a re nomlnatlon unless he paid up. The build ing Inspector delayed no longer and Tues day of this week he paid over hla $15. THIEVES GET LITTLE BOOTY Petty Rognea Maaaajre to Keep Busy, bat Reap small Harvest for Their Pains. Burglars and petty thieves manage to keep busy In Omaha at thla time of year, but they are not getting much for their palna. Reports of stolen overcoats, bicycles and other things are received by the po lice every day, but extensive hauls by noc turnal prowlers are not so frequent. Trouser robbing Is one of the most com mon of the small Jobs pulled off by thlevea and burglars, and recently this activity has been brisker than usual. Tuesday night Pete Jensen of 2616 South Forty-second street, had $19.50 taken out of his trousers by a visitor, who called after waking hours and did not leave his card. Another burg laror possibly the same one entered A. J. Allen's realdence, 1017 South Thirty-sixth street, by using a skeleton key to unlock the back door. He only rifled Mr. Allen's trousers and took $25 and two colna which were carried as pocjeet pieces, lesvlng other articles In the house untouched. While moving from one house to another nearby, A. R. Rlzsuto, who now lives at 1231 South Sixteenth street, had a vest stolen. It contained a gold watch, two bill books and some railroad passes and other papers.
