OBJECTION IS RAISED TO
LODGING HOUSE ORDINANCE
BATTLE FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Conncilmen Are Most Active in Fight
for the Place.
BERKA. AND SCHR0EDER LEAD
EjM-h Claims to Hit the Job Landed
for Himself To Be Decided by
Ilspshllraa Members of
the Ceeaeil.
As ths time for electing a successor ts
Good ley Brucker as president of the city
council draws near, aspirants for the honor
ars active In their own behalf. The reor
ganisation of the council will be effected
next week under present plans.
At present two pronounced candidates
are in the field, Councllmen Louis Berks
and Fred Sohroeder. Both contend that
they have the place all sewed up and all
that remains la for the successor to be
named.
Berks bases hi els lms on a promise,
which he says members e the combina
tion mads to him H contends that when
Brucker was elected by ths oomblnatlon,
be was promised ths p?sos this year. Other
members say tss honor was promised to
some republican and that Is where the
difference lies.
Schroeder take Issue with Berks, claim
ing that the ploco Is opon for a republican
and that he bis much tight to It as
Berks. He claims sin votes, which means
deadlock If he can produce them when
the count Is mad.
Ths fight for ths place, however, will
never reach the floor of the council cham
ber, members aa. Under hn agreement.
It Is left to the iepu!Mcan members to
name a successor to Brucker and the com
bination Is to go through for the selection.
The whole thing will be settled In the
meeting of the republican members, which
will be held later In ths week.
Then unless there Is a split In the com
bine, the choice will prevail hands down.
owever, Schroeder Is said to bs ready to
desert the combination and he declares
that ha can carry two of ths Insurgent
democrats with him.
May Have Deadlock.
In the event of a doadlock. Burro ester
snd Davis will be placed In nomination, It
Is said. But present signs point to Berka's
selection. His supporters claim that Kugel.
Davis and Burmester are for him first.
last and all the time. These votes ars
sufflolent to give him the nomination.
"I am for Berks as long as he has
chanoe." says Davis. "In my opinion, he
has enough votes to nomlnata him.
Whether he can bs elected Is another
question. The minute he shows hs can't I
am going to declaro for ths honor myself.
'If Sohroeder can carry two members of
the oomblnatlon with htm, I believe he can
foroe a deadlock, as I do not doubt ths
three standpatters will vote against
Berks."
Ths standpatters, Funkhouser. McOovern
and Bridges, are lying low. They think
they hold the key to the situation and by
lining up with soma oandldats other than
Berka, can seours Import sot concessions
In committee appointments.
Funkhouser has long nursed a grievance
because ha was rolled from tha lighting
committee, of which he was formerly
ohalrmaa. Hs oasts longing glances in
that direction again and has hopss of ths
plaos If Berka to not elected.

Ed Maurer is Taken
by Game Wardens
Manager Clark of the Millard Pay a
Fine cf Two Hundred Dollar! for
Keeping Game.
Mine host, Ed Maurer. who Is conscien
tious to a painful degree In serving with
culinary satisfactions his friends and cus
tomers, has sworn off on one kind of gen
erosity. The next man who come into
his restaurant and asks for wild duck will
get a refrigerating stare. No more wild
ducks are to be bought in that shop.
Several days ago two Innocent and mild-
mannered men ambled Into ths Maurer
cafe and looked with open scorn upon the
dainties Hated on the bill of fare. They
called tha head waiter.
'Ws want something wild, something that
has a smack of tha fresh water or the
woods. We pins for savage food.
The head waiter opined that a braoe of
ducks might be the proper thing, and the
two men looked first at each other with
a knowing expression and then called for
the brace of duoks. When they had fin
ished the ducks, cleaning up ths plats to
the (sat tender bit, and acting aa If they
enjoyed It they called over mine host Bid
Maurer snd had him plnchsd.
Ingratitude ts only one of the words
which mine host used, but sines ths men
were Henry Miller, stats gams warden.
and one of his deputies, and slnos selling
or serving wild ducks Is a violation of ths
state game laws, nothing could be done.
Mr. Maurer protested Innocence, however,
and will be given a trial before Justice of
the I'eace Cockrell within a few days.
On the ssme day ths wardens went pry
ing around the larders of ths Mlllsrd hotel
and found there 138 birds of various sorts
and degrees of succulence and confiscated
the whole flock. W. B. Clark, manager
of the Millard, came Into Justice Cock
rell's court Monday afternoon and paid a
fine of $. Ths legal rate la 16 per bird.

'I'm a gone chicken," he yxlled, "there's

'Aw, ysr drunk yet," said ths road house
man and pitched him back out of doors.
The poor wanderer skulked along ths road
way to the west watching the sky fur

still more frantic by ths whirr of ths

HAS TUT WITH COTOCLLMEN
Reisrveentattves of Pool Hall Owaere
Come Before Council end Make
Objections to Commercial
Cleb Plans.
Characterising the petitions of the Oma
i and Council Bluffs Power company and
. I. Kirk snd sssociates for electrlo light
power franchises as blackmailing schemes,
F. A. Nash, president of the Omaha Elec
tric Light and Power company, urged the
members of the city oouncll not to sp-
prove the franchises Monday afternoon at
the meetng of the committee of the whole.
Declaring that neither pe-tltioner had any
Intention of carrying out the terms of
the franchises, Mr. Nash cautioned the
council not to rush Into any action which
granted franchises to other companies.
Mr. Nash also charged that the Omaha
and Council Bluffs Ftreet Railway com
pany has been and Is doing a power and
lighting business In direct violation of ths
city ordinances.
"For thirty years, ths Omaha Electrlo
Li glit and Power company has been doing
business in the city of Omaha." said
h. "In all that time, ws havs lived
up to every requirement of tha city; we
havs paid our royalties and occupation
taxes gladly. Last year we paid Into the
treasury S per cent of our gross buelnesa
Ws havs tried to avoid litigation with ths
city and have tried in every way to merit
the good will of the people.
ow, thess companies come In and ask
for franchis-s, which If granted, would
seriously handicap our business. I hate
to say it, but the propositions are black-
mall. The promoters know they can
force us to buy them out. snd I have no
hesitancy 1n saying that Is What ws would
hsve to do."
Mr. Nash's statement precipitated a long
argument between himself and Councilman
Funkhouser, who contended that It was the
duty of the councllmen to consider any ap
plication for a franchise. Funkhouser sug.
gested to Nash that his company petition
for a franchise.
"You have no rights and privileges
legally," said Funkhouser. "Why don't
you corns In and ask for a franchlsa? Ths
courts have held that you have no rights
to do an electric light and power business."
Decision Is Not Pinal.
Mr. Nash contended that the decision of
ths appeal court was not final and that
his company still considered that It had a
perpetual franchise. "Are you willing and
ready to ask a franchise?" Interjected
Councilman Hummel.
Not at present," replied Mrs Nash.
"Until the supreme court declares our
franchise void or until We can agree with
the council as to what franchise we should
have, we will stand on our rights. Wi are
giving the people everything they demand
What else can they ask?"
"Residence rates are too high and I can
provs It," Interposed Funkhouser. "By
competition, we can get fairer rates. The
people look to us to protect their Interests
and when It comes to granting franchises
for twenty-five or thirty years, ws will
Investigate It from every angle."
The franchise ordinances were laid over
for two weeks that the city clerk may have
copies of both mads for members of ths
council. Neither ordinance was discussed
by ths council members.
Pool Hall Ordlnaae Up,
Ths Commercial club ordinance, resrttlat-
Ing and licensing pool halls, again cams up
ror discussion, aa did tbs Sheldon and
Berka ordinances, which differ from the
Commercial club measure. In that the latter
makes It Imperative for the proprietors to
furnish bond In the sum of f30t and pro
vides for a forfeiture of the license on
second conviction, and also provides that
the halls must be closed at midnight
Judge Ben Baker, representing pool hall
owners, objected to the bond provision and
asked that proprietors, who conduct a mer
cantile business In conjunction with the
pool hall, be permitted to run the latter
after midnight He also asked that the
opening hour be made Instead of T a m.
The Commercial club members, isillor
Zlegler snd W. J. Bsxter. agreed to the
change In the opening hour, but stood firm
on the closing at midnight. All ordinances
a ere referred to the Judiciary committee,
which was instructed to confer with ths
legal department, and draw an ordinance
covering the points In dispute.
J. J. Ponshue. chief of police, snd Jsmes
P. English, county attorney. Urged th
council to pass the Commerclsl club ordi
nance. The ordinance, regulallng and licensing
lodging houses, wss laid over for two

Much foodstuffs are bought with but one
point in view: "How cheap can I get . it?"
without a thought of quality or "after cost."
One of tho -most serious is baking powder.
By the use of perfect baking powder the
housewife can derive as much economy as from any
other article used in baking and cooking. In selecting
the baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised
to purchase one that retains its original strength and
always remains the same, thus making the food sweet
and wholesome and producing sufficient leavening gaa
to make the baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is produced by the
cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily required to secure
good results.
You cannot experiment every time you make a cake
or biscuits, or test the strength of your baking powder
to fitid out how much of it you should use; yet with
most baking powders you should do this for rhey are
put together so carelessly they are never uniform, tho
quality and strength varying with each can purchased."
Calumet Baking Powder is made of chemically pure ingredi
ents of tested strength. Experienced chemists put it up. The
proportions of the different materials remain always the same.
Bealed in air-tight cans, Calumet Baking Powder does not alter
in strength and is not affected by atmospheric changes.
In using Calumet you are bound to have uniform bread, cake
or biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any cheap, useless or
adulterating ingredients so commonly used to Increase the
weight Furthermore it produces pure, wholesome food, and is
a baking powder of rare merit; therefore is recommended by
leading physicians and chemists. It complies with pure food
laws, STATE and NATIONAL. Ths goods are moderate tn price,
and an lady purchasing Calumet from her grocer, if not satisfied
with it; can return it and hare her money refunded.

pared a new edition of their handsome Cook Book, and will gladly
