SERVICE AT SCHOOL FOR DEAF
llrraaa mad Sermon Are- Intrrprrtrd
fcy Pupils at Inatltatlna la a
Mannar that Iraprmx-a All
Aorronlna- Frlrnds.
In a temple fitting- for the obsequies of
hero, poet or artist, the funeral of Lloyd
V. IilankenRhlp wm held yesterday after
noon at the School for the Ieaf. The new
auditorium wa ued for the ceremony,
and the oxrrclyps were under the dlrec.
tlon of .Superintendent Frank W. Uooth.
1'ho casket, placed Immediately In front
of the etase, was almoet burled In floral
tributes sent by tearliera and. pupils of
the school, GaMauriet aluinnt branch nnd
other friend.
While three hymns were belrg sung by
a duo of women's voices, they were most
tastefully and Impressively Interpreted by
five young; women connected with the
school, lhose who have not witnessed
this spectacle of the silent Interpretation
ft sacred son as it Is voiced by the sing
ers have a most lifting experience yet to
ln. Thu execution, the expression of
hands, eyes, features and body, oil were
the very acme of grace and gave to the
hymns a meaning that could not be lost.
The hymns rendered wore "Lead, Kindly
Light." "Nearer, My God. to Thee." and
"Aelep In Jesus."
Trlhate front Teachers.
A tribute from the teachers was In-teipi-etrd
by Prof. 3. V. Sowell. from
th pupils of the sciioot by Emll Hladlk
nd a Bible reading by air. Hldrldge.
Superintendent Booth read the written
tributes and the Interpreters stood by his
side. A prayer and short sermon by Rev.
K. Tt. Curry were Interpreted by former
Superintendent V. R. Stewart. Strange
In a way, these funeral exercises were
impressive to a degree, and carried to
a!! hearts-a very solemn sense of the
dignity of death.
Prof. tllaiikeiisiiip was well loved by
teachers and pupils and tho large audi
torium, was filled, a good many parents of
pupils and friends of the Institution being
pit sent. The honorary pallbearers were
Messrs. Booth. Rothert. Long, Gillespie,
Utewart and Culbertson. The active pall
bearers were Messrs Rothwell, Sowell,
Kldrldge. Comp, Porter and Rogers. The
body was sant to Peru, Neb., for burial.
Prof. BlankeiBhlp had been the art
teacher at the school for the last fif
teen years.
Price of Crackers :
Uniformly Higher
Why are prices of crackers advanced to
the same figure at the same time all
over the Ur.lted States by all the cracker
ninklng concerns?
This Is a question mystifying Omaha
grocers. A few years ago young biscuit
companies all over the country were cry
!i 6 out against the National Biscuit com
pany, called the "trust," and were boost
ing their business by leaps and bounds
tin out h competition w ith the Xutlonal.
?.'ov that the young companies have
ETon big there Is no competition, cay
Hie grocers. Eoda crackers ,nd oyster
crackers In bulk have been advancod j
tent and are now 6'4 cents a pound. ,
"All the ' factories make this price at
the same time," said a big Omaha re
tailer. "They dldrTt wait for the Na
tional to name the price and then grace
fully follow after a few days. Things
have come to such a pass that there Is
fcbsolutely no difference In price betvemi
the various companies, cither on plain
or fancy goods. When you get a new
price t'rom one company you will know
at once that all the other concerns put
the tame price In effect at the same
time.
"The queer thing about it is that fiour
and wheat were both declining in price
i when the boost was made to crackers."
I
CITY HALL IS STIRRED
OYER COMMISSION LAW
Legal circles of the-clty are In a tur
moil of disagreement over an interpreta
tion of a part of the commission plan
law. Proper provision is .made In the
law In a lucid manner for the choosing
i of commissioners at the general or
regular election, but there is a clash of
: legal learning over the question of the
' number of men an elector may cast his
vote for at the primary nominations.
The law provide, that the fourteen
men receiving the highest vote at the
primary shall have their names placed on
the Official ballot and for seven of
these each voter shall cast a ballot.
3 low ever, they pay there Is no clause In
the law which determines whether a
voter shall cast his vote for seven or
fourteen men ut the primary.
Heveral lawyers are Investigating the
statutes in an effort to determine if
they can whether the ballot at the prl
Jiiary shall have "vote for seven" or.
"vote for fourteen" Inscribed on it.
Other lawyers who have already Inves
tigated declare that the voters can cust
their vote for seven men only and yet
dlhers who have alto investigated assert
that each voter has the right to assist
lu electing, each of the fourteen nom!-uses.

ot tne city of Omaliu, whose lunciKm
shall De activity on tno political field to
the extent that we elect such men under
the commission toini ot government ; nnd
the loilov.ing is our declaration of prin
ciples :
we favor an honest, fair administra
tion of the city government, which shaU
promote free speech, the right of lawful
public assembly and justice.
Se advocate ownership by the munici
pality of all plants and establishments
which turnlsh to tho people of Omaha
gas and electric light and power and the
establishment of coal and wood yards.
Ice plants, cold storage warehouses and
free public markets, all of which shall
be operated for the benefit of the people
and not for profit.
We favor the municipal ownership of a
single telephone system, which will re
lievo the people ot two privately owned
und miserably Inadequate systems such
as now exist in the city of Omaha.
Wo favor thu establishment ami main
tenance by the municipality of public
comfort stations, conveniently 1 located
throughout tho city.
Wo favor the extension of our park and
pluy grounds systems.
We favor the establishment of social
renters at school houses and other suit
able places.
We advocate tho establishment of free
public baths, both in the city proper, at
Carter lake and at other places where
possible.
We look with abhorrence uion the spec
tacle 01 a monern city in an alleged civil
ised ago which- maintains a barbarous
chain gang, a relic of a medieval period
long ago abandoned by progressive com
munities of America. We promise to
exert every effort to abolish this hideous
Institution.
We call attention to the present neglect
of streets in the poorer sections of the
city to tho advantage of the wealthy
clasd, and we advocate a more equal dis
tribution of funds and labor in this mat
ter. We favor the establishment of a free
employment bureau to be operated by the
municipality with the end In view of
eliminating the harpies who now, by
methods of extortion, misrepresentation
and cheating the employed, bring untold
suffering to those upon whom a great
burden has already been cast.
We favor the establishment of a free
hospital and recommend that the hospital
recently acquired by the city be main
tained as such.
We are opposed to the contract system
such as now exists In the city of Omaha
and stand for all public work being inr
formcd by Omaha citizens and that not
over eight hours shall constitute a day's
labor.
We stand for the rigid enforcement of
the child labor law and the female labor
law which Is now constantly and fla
grantly violated all over the city.
To the accomplishment of the ends
above enumerated-tho Labor league of
the city of Omaha hereby pledges its
hearty support and :nlvtes all laboring
men to unite with us and solicits the
support and co-operation ot sympathisers
and friends. ... . .
Some Men Are Too
Lazy for Hard Work
"We need jobs for reveval men," iid
Miss Ma V. Jonts of the Associated
charities, "and it the people cf the city
have any work they want done at rea
sonable wages we will be glad It they
will let us know."
Miss Jonts ssld the chavilles were
making an efort to furnish work for
the most deserving, but that It Is some
times difficult, to find out who wants to
be helped In that way.
Ono family has been helped for several
weeks. The wife has been receiving
much assistance, and herself Is a hard
working weaher woman. Miss Jonts pre
vailed upon her to bring her husband lit
and the three of them woiiid flan how
to support the family.
The hurband came. He was a bit;,
healthy and indolent fellow and .Miss
Jonts at once gave him work. He worked
two hours and resigned, saving his wife
took In four washings a week and there
fore he didn't have to work.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEN TO

Sporting blood showed Itself In the
Commerlcal club today, when tho execu
tive committee passed resolutions rec
ommending that every member of the
club . attend tho foot ball game on
Thanksgiving day between the Omaha
High school and Chicago, and that each
member do what he can to Induce others

Youthful Charm ,
To Aged complexions
"Prematurely or middle-aged com
plexions can be made soft and velvety
and given a pink and white tint ot
youth." says Mrs. Mae Martyn, In the
Now York Express. "But first of till,
powder and rouge must be discarded
because of their ruinous effect on the
skin. . In its place should bo used a
plain spurmux lotion, made by dissolv
ing 4 ounces spurmax in Vi pint hot
water and ad ling 2 teaspoonf uls glycer
ine. Using witch-hazel Instead of water
makes it dry quicker in cold weather.
"This lotion should bo applied to face,
neck and arms, then gently managed
in, and when It dries the skin takes on
a soft, satiny finish. Continued using
will remove pimples, blackheads,
wrinkled ami skin-roughness. It Is
especially fine for oily or 'muddy' com
plexions, and unlike powder, Is Invisible
when on." A-Jv.

The burning of money in the form of fuel is
necessary. Fuel extravagance is an old and costly
habit.
You cannot afford, however, to keep on burning
coal just because it has been your habit for years.

You are certainly not so fond of dust, smoke,

as to be unwilling to give Solvay Coke a trial.
