A NOVEL INDUSTRY ' A Patent on n Screen Frame by an Omaha Man Opens Fac tory Here. Omaha Is gradually but surely coming to the front, not only by her bank clearings, hog prices, etc, but as a manufacturing city. You would probably be surprised if you took your auto out and made a trip around the city and took pains to stop and examine all the placea where you heard the hammer, saw or lathe at work to learn how many things are actually made and. marketed from Omaha. As an Illustration, the manufacture of screens, different from the old style, put up by nailing the wood togethor, but by having metal corners so your screen is almost in destructable and once the house Is screened and doored It lasts Mmost forever. This firm is the .Omaha Window Screen com pany, located at 624 North Sixteenth street, and they claim to be the only exclusive house devoted to this kind of work In the United States.

More Than Circulation Even the enormous cir. culation of The Ladies. HOMEjOURNAL(l,300,OOo) does not indicate the magnitude of its real strength. Its unique place in the homes of Americans cannot be weighed or measured, but almost every woman can certify to it, and a good many men are aware ' of it men who. compre- ( cnd the life of their own homes. If you are an advertiser or a man who ought to advertise (and very likely you are), it will pay you to sit down some evening and ruminate on the buy ing'influence (perhaps the buying -control) of youi wife or daughter. . Suppose, now, that three or' four million of the wives and daughters of America believed in you and in the goods you f make. . Would you want any bigger asset? Some advertisers have this very thing.

RECOUNT WILL CONCLUDE TODAY Maajr Illearal Voter at Primary Who Swore la Votes Reaalt of Contest la Still la Doubt. The city clerk Issued his monthly state ment yesterday at the close of the seventh month of the fiscal year, showing that the expenditures to date amount to 1117,642 and that a balance of $103,006 remains in the city treasury. This money ia now for the fc-reater part In the interest and sinking fund, which is swelled by the collections of the city offices in the way of fees and licenses. More than half of the appropria tion still remains In the general fund, the water fund and the interest fund, but the condition of the funds will require economy n the light, the police and the salary funds to hold out to the end of the year without the usual boosting. In the street repair fund all the money has been exhausted, but In the street cleaning fund more re mains, proportionately, than in any of the other funds.

The recount of the ballots will be fin ished today and it is possible to predict the results in all the cases except that of Fred Heffllnger, Dr. F. W. Faulk, J. H. Devine, Dana Morrill, C. M. Rich, C. W. Sears and T. O. Inghram. In these cases the vote la so close that either party may win. J. II. Devine leads Fred Hef fllnger by. about six votes and Dr. Faulk by three. C. W, Sears and T. O. Inghram were tied yesterday at the close of the count. C. M. Rich had lost slightly from the vote at the official canvass. Of perhaps more importance than any of the individual canvasses ia the discovery of many probable Illegalities in the 300 odd votts which were sworn in. A large number of certificates lack tho official signatures of the Judges and clerks of election, and numbers of those who took the oath before the city clerk are Bald to be Irregular, both In the matter of vouch ers and in the excuses offered. Of the SCO excuses offered fully too gave the rea son that they Were sick. About 100 de clared they were at work and could not register, althought the polls were open un til 9 p. m. on each of the three registration days. These facta will probably not af fect the case greatly, but It la probable that when the lists are completed as they are now being compiled, a large number of names will be found in which fictitious ad dresses are given and whose actual resi dence is not in the city at all. Several attorneys are giving this matter careful attention and it is possible that a great shock to the aspirations of those who wore the most influential In securing these voters will be developed. Housebreakers Daajr. From the numerous reports of burglary within the last few days.

Mrs. Hyde Makes Will in Favor of Her Husband Progecution Will Attempt to Show that This Action Was at the Doctor's Suggestion. KANSAS CITY, March 11. It developed yesterday that during the trial of Ir. B. C. Hyde here next month on a charge of poisoning Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the prosecution will attempt to show that fol lowing a suggestion made to her, Mrs. Hyde made a will bequeathing all her prop erty to her husband. Under the will of Colonel Swope, Mrs. Hyde was a bene ficiary to the amount of more than $300,000. The will alleged to have been made by Mrs. Hyde, the Swope attorneys say, was drawn up soon after Dr. Hyde's dismissal from the Swope home, where he had been treating the Swopes. In the trial of Dr. Hyde an attempt will be made to show thai Mrs. Hyde was taken seriously 111; that it was suggested to her that an operation might be necessary and that it was also suggested that she make her will leaving her property to her husband in the event that the operation was not a success. Later It was found, the Swopeattorneys say, that the operation was not necessary. It is said that John C. Paxton related the story of Mrs. Hyde's will to the grand Jury that indicted Dr. Hyde. C L. Stewart, a bacteriologist of this city, will be one of the principal witnesses for he prosecution on this point during the trial of Dr. Hyde, it was said today. Miss Pearl Kellar. the nurse, who at tended Colonel Thomas H. Swope, in her deposition today told of the manner-in which she administered the strychnine in jection given to Colonel Swope, she said, at Dr. Hyde's direction. When Dr. Hyde told, her to give Colonel Swope a sixtieth of a grain of strychnine, she said she broke one tablet containing a thirtieth of a grain in two pieces and gave one of the pieces, a sixtieth of a grain, in solution, to Colonel Swope. She was sure ho took a thirtieth tablet from her case. She administered this Injection twice, cer tainly, and possibly a third time, she said. . Lucy Lee Swope and Margaret H. Swope, nieces of Colonel Swope, also gavp their depositions today. EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IN SAN FRANCISCO Vibration la from North to South and Lasts One and One-Half Seconds. FAN FRANCISCO, March 11.

Miners in Eastern Ohio Rouses ' Portion of State. PITTSBURG, March 1L Two paymasters of coal companies were held up today in different sections of eastern Ohio and were robbed of sums approaching $5,600, and as a result of the attacks one man Is dead and another may die. The country Is much ex cited and tonight bloodhounds are In use in an attempt to catch the highwaymen. Edward McGann, paymaster of the Dex ter Coal company, and Robert Pommering, an assistant, left this city for the mine of the company at Brilliant, O. They carried In a satchel 14.000, the weekly payroll of the mine. While driving to the mines from the train two men overtook them and beat them Into insensibility, and escaped with the satchel. Farmers found the two men lying beside their buggy and sent them to the Gill hospital at Steubenvllle, O. The coal company Immediately sent out officers with bloodhounds, and offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the robbers.- Pommering tonight is reported as being fatally hurt, while McGann Is in a critical condition. Hardly had the excitement quieted down when another holdup was reported from Zanesvllle. George Evans, aged 60, pay master of the Muskingum Coal company, was shot from ambush at Buckeye, ten miles down the river from Zanesvllle, and died at 11 o'clock tonight. He was robbed of $1,600, the weekly payroll of that com pany. Evans was walking from tho com pany office to the mines half a mile away. A posse Is searching that section of the country, and bloodhounds, too, have been put into use. Firemen Will Be Answered Today Western Railroads Will Reply to Ultimatum Demanding In crease in Fay. CHICAGO, Marcli 11. The 1000 or more firemen on the 100,000 miles of railroads west, northwest and southwest of Chicago, who by a vote authorized their National offlcals to call a strike If the railroads re fused to grant wage concessions, will re ceive their answer from the railroads to morrow. It may be several days later before the union officials and the railroad mangers again meet to determine what shall be done. This arrangement followed a confenmce today by Mr. Carter and the firemen's delegation with the ralli .ad managers committee of which W. C. Nlckson, gen eral manager of the St. I.ouls & San Francisco Is chairman. Managers of nine other western roads were present. The firemen presented their vote showing that 8fi per cent of their members were against accepting an agreement for Improved work ing conditions without any Increased wages. The railroads were told that the vote authorized a strike should the union officials decide on it. It was then stated that the railroads would make their re ply in writing tomorrow. Confidence was expressed on both sides that a strike would be averted and arbi tration would be resorted to. A promi nent railroad officials said tonight It was unlikely that the railroads would grant the wage demands. "If all the demands of the firemen were granted the wages would have to be In creased 22'4 per cent," he said. "This is a greater Increase than the railroads can afford to pay. Moreover It would necessitate a similar- increase for all other employes. Such an Increase on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road alone would maan an additional expense of 15,000,000 annually,' fx) jwerilgCtolIusi; Pleated Shirts $1.00 Miller, Stewart & Beaton 413-15-17 Sooth Sixteenth Street Saturday Specials CRETONNE BED SETS For full size bed, great assort ment, different colors, worth up to $8.50, Satur J C day only, each fyn i J $3.00 COLONIAL POSTER BED ROOM RUO-Size 30x60; washable and reversible, Saturday only, tf Q each, at ; pJJ $3.25 COLONIAL POSTER BED ROOM RUG Size 36x72; washable and reversible, Saturday only, (J y " each, at 3$LfJ $3.00 WASHABLE AND REVERSIBLE BATH ROOM RUG Plain rose, green, brown and blue, f ancj A A border, Saturday only, each vpafrattf U $12.00 BRUSSEL RUG Floral and Oriental design; size B-8xll, Saturday only, (JO C A each, at ;k CJ)0D" 15c FLAT IRON HOLDER Nickel plated, wood handle Saturday only, n each, at BaHl Three Thousand Coal Miners Are Out on Strike Men in Central Pennsylvania Suspend Work Because of Alleged Dis charge of Union Officials. OREENSBURO, Pa., March 11. -Three thousand miners In eight mines of the Irwin fields of Westmoreland county went on strike yesterday after a mass moeting held last night, and the miners' organization asserts that 15,000 will be out by tomorrow. The strike is the result of organizing the miners In this section, which has heretofore been nonunion, and Is for recognition of the organization. Upon request of local miners several weeks ago, organizers of district No. 5 of the United Mine Workers of America came to the Irwin fields and organized the men, who now refuse to work with nonunion men or those who refused to Join the mine workers. The discharge of seventy-five men, officials of the new local, precipitated the Talkout today.
