the finance committee. The following is
the mayor's proclamation and the pro

'. Whereas, July 4 has been set aside as
a legal holiday in commemoration of the
independence of these United States; and.
Whereas, It is not only appropriate but
commendable that our citizens observe
the day in a spirit of patriotism; and.
Whereas, It is customary and in har
mony with the occasion to celebrate this
anniversary by the use of fireworks;
Now, therefore, I, Thomas Hoctor,
mayor of the city of South Omaha,
hereby proclaim and declare said Fourth
of July a legal holiday and call upon our
citizens in observing the spirit of this
occasion to co-operate with the officials
whose duty it is to enforce the ordi
nances of the city, and thereby make the
day a safe and sane one, to refrain from
the use. of fireworks within the city be
fore the fourth day of July and to re
frain at afl times from discharging in or
upon any street, avenue or alley in this
city any firecrackers known and desig
nated aa Aynamite or giant crackers and
no common crackers exceeding four (4)
inches in length.
Witness my hand this twenty-ninth

Six Attempted Burglaries.
Police circles and business men gen
erally were thrown into a state of pertur
bation yesterday by the discovery of six
attempted burglaries within the business
and residence districts. ' The work, which
was done evidently by experts, occurred
some time between midnight and early
Saturday morning.
So far nothing of value has been taken
by the burglars. Apparently the men
were after money. The. places entered
were the Home Furniture comply, where
the safe was broken Into. An inner door
protected the contents. Pete Peterson's
candy store across the street from the
Home Furniture company store at Twenty-fourth
and I, streets was entered, the
thieves obtaining 5.70 .out of the cash
drawer. William Leanwon's pool hall at
Twenty-fourth and K streets was the next
place forced. The Boston drug store at
Twenty-fourth and F streets, Charles
Pulliam's home at Twenty-fourth and A
streets and the horn of Charles Masson
at Twenty-fourth and K atreets all bore
testimony of having been visited by the
burglars. In the Home Furniture com
pany store tools evidently abandoned by
the thieves were discovered. The tools
consisted of chisels and files. Similar In
struments were discovered In the home
of Charles Masson. - At the Pulllam resi
dence the burglars were surprised by a
young woman of the house, who screamed
and attracted the notice of Harry Trum
ble, a neighbor. Trumble caught sight of
one of the men as he made his get-away.
The police and detectives of the city
were out all day yesterday rounding up
the suspicious characters. Chief of Police
John Briggs and Chief of Detectives
James Sheahan have ordered all their men
to keep a vigilant lookout for suspicious
characters.
'. Breaka !. in Fall.
James Ellis of 2512 Q street, while in
dulging in some horse-play with some
companions .behind Luckey's coal office
at 2513 Q street yesterday evening at 4
o'clock, missed his footing and fell, break
ing his right leg. Kills, with some com
panions, had been wrestling and, it is
thought, drinking before the accident In
an attempt to jump from the top of the
office steps to the shoulders of a com
panion sitting on the ground the accident
occurred. The man on the ground moved
his position and Ellis came down unex
pectedly upon the hard ground. Dr. E. J.
Shanahan set the broken limb and ordered
Ellis to the South Omaha hospital. Cap
tain John Dworak is looking for the other
men. Ellis came here from Chicago a
few days ago. He lived at 3533 Wood

"Tre chic! Viva la Belle Fatima!"
The corpulent ringmaster will heave
himself uon the big red box In the
center of Ak-Sar-Ben's circus ring to
night and with a graceful twist, adjusting
his French mustache to make room for a
wide hole in his face, will make the above
announcement
Whereupon, with all the grace and
elegance that form and beauty possess,
Mademoiselle Fred Brodegaard will trip
lightly and blithely Into the spotlight
and proceed with one of the most das
sling and' gorgeous exhibitions of the
terpsichorean art ever produced on the
continent ..
Samson has secured this attraction
at great expense, the price to be paid
la danseuse to be kept in strict arriere
pensee. Samson reruses to state just
what that is; neither does he divulge
why such a charming dancer' as Made
moiselle Brodegaard with all her reputa -tion
should hide her identity in the
smoky name of La Belle Fatima. '
But to the audience, that will make
no difference, as the price of admission
will not be Increased. It may be that
Samson feared the publication of the
dancer's real name, lest the den be
shoved out all over the big lot .at Twen
tieth and Spruce streets by the crowds.
It'a a wise precaution and everyone
can be depended upon not the reveal that
La Belle Fatima Is the illustrious
Mademoiselle Fred Brodegaard.

The secret however, has already been
rumored In Benson and in some quarters
of Sarpy county and, although it is ab
solutely unverified at both places, hun
dreds of citizens have declared they will
go to the den to discover for themselves.
The Benson aggregation will bring
with it a huge brass band that La Belle
Fatima, should she found to be the world
renowned Mile. Brodegaard, . may be
given a warm " reception. They will
come in automobiles and, not to take
chances, will celebrate the double pres

THANKS FOR BOOSTING
THE GLASS BUSINESS
A letter from Frank W. Judson to Vic
tor Rosewater expresses thanks for con
vention courtesies, and compliments on
the handling of the situation as presid
ing officer, incidentally including this
cutting from one of the Chicago news
papers:
There was a resounding crash In the
lobby of the Congress hotel. When the
noise subsided it was discovered that a
plate glass mirror, 6x10 feet, at the
north end of Peacock alley, had been
broken. .
Explanations were numerous. One was
offered by the porter who gathered the
pieces In a basket
"That Mr. Rosewater who runs the
steam roller was walking right toward
that mirror and it just collapsed for no
account than fright" he said.
As a postscript Mr. Judson adds, "I
assure you that our Chicago branch will
appreciate . your work toward increasing
the glass business."

Through Trains Put
On Over Milwaukee
From Chicago West
Through service over the Milwaukee, the
Northwestern and the Union Pacific was
established yesterday. The trains over
the Chicago roads came in according to
schedule and went on west without cre
ating any excitement.
At the Union station about the only
thing that Indicated any change In the
old methods was the fact that the Union
Pacific trains waited for the arrival of
trains off one road, instead of two.
When No. 1 on the Northwestern ar
rived it was Immediately picked up by
a Union Pacific engine and whirled away
westward.
When No. 1 on theMllwaukee arrlvevd,
Instead of the cars being switched over to
to the siding on which were the cars of the
Northwestern, they were taken in tow
by a Union Pacific engine and carried
west. It was simply a deal by which
one train did not wait for the other.
Springers Cheaper
on Local Market
Now that spring chickens are on the
market, the price of old ones has come
down from 20 to 16 cents per pound.
There la another reason, the dealers say,
and that la that this is the time of the
year when the hens have done most of
their laying and consequently the time
when farmers throw the hens on the
market.
So hens are plentiful on ' the market
now and a.-e quite readily purchased by
the consumers in view of the extreme
high price of beet and other meats.
Spring chickens weighing no more than
one and one-half pounds dressed are
selling for .76 cents. They are on the
wholesale market at $7.60 per dozen, and
those weighing two pounds apiece are
selling at $9.50 per dozen wholesale.

An Editorial
from the Detroit Times,
June 12, 1912
If the Price of Coffee
Would Double Again v
All The Better!
The price of coffee haa doubled in three or four yeara
And this, despite production has doubled in that time.
The reason for the present high price of coffee was sought and it has
been found that the market supply has been artificially restricted.
The Braslllan government la In the operation and participates in thn
profits to the extent of an export duty of three cents a pound.
And American bankers are financing the scheme.
Diabolical plot?
Outrageous conspiracy?
Perhaps!
But wa did not take our pen In hand to condemn anybody concerned '
except COFFEE DRINKERS to condemn them and. also, to congratulate
there; both upon the present increased price and the probability that it will
Co higher.
It Isn't exactly inspiring to see American capital finding Us way to a
foreign country to be used there to the end of exploiting American family
pocketbooka.
However, this is not the saddest fact involved, to our way of thinking.
It ia most regrettable that the consumption of coffee in this country
haa Increased to a point to warrant manipulation of the supply.
Wa don't Ilka to look upon coffee as becoming a NECESSITY to tho
American people, and view with alarm the activities of capital auggeating
that it IS becoming a necessity.
Coffee isn't good for you.
Too much of It is positively harmful
If the present price, doubled in four years, would double again, it
would be the best thing that ever happened to the excessive coffee drinker. '
He wouldn't drink as much of it.
Better yet, maybe he wouldn't drink it at all
Just possibly you have us put down aa being a bit nervy In this com
ing in and sitting down beside you before the coffee pot and telling you
to keep hands off.
Nevertheless, we mean well.
Wa are talking for your good.
You like coffee, probably, and perhaps you think it la none of our busi
ness if you drink It or if you drink all you want of it 4
Babies want those pink pills that look like candy and ory if wa don't
let them hava them.
The same pink pilla, left around by careless mothers, hava killed n.any
babies. ' ' , . ' .
And many grown people know as little as babies about the care of
their bodiea
, There are Intemperate coffee drinkers the same aa there arc Intem
perate drinkers of alcoholic beverages.
On cup of coffee isn't going to prove fatal, nor two cupa of coffee.
Two cupa may upset your entire system, make you uneasy, restless
and peevish and unfit for best results for a day, but It will wear off after
awhile the same as a whiskey drunk wears off.
But bring to us a person who drinks two and three cups of coffee reg
ularly for breakfast, or a person who drinks coffee three times a day, and
wa will. aliow you a person with a bad-acting heart, a sluggish liver, a
disordered stomach and shuttered nervous system. ' .
If you don't believe us, ask your doctor. '
Ha will tell you that coffee contains caffeine, which ha gives in tha .
smallest kind of doses for a heart stimulant.
Ha will tell you further that too much caffeine or too much coffee
will give you a palpitating heart
Then if you are satisfied to run the risk of having that kind of a
heart, keep right on drinking all the coffee you want, and excuse us for
Interfering. .; . ' ' - .',., (Detroit Times, Juna 12, 1812. ,
