"Clothes and all their little accessories are without doubt the invention of the devil." That Is the frank declaration of Mrs. John Lane, who In her newest book, Talk of the Town." discourses enter- tainly on "The Tyranny of Clothes." But Mrs. Lane's really Interesting discovery Is that woman is not the only sufferer from this despotism. It also sways the men. And, woman-like, Mrs. Lane Is glad of it ' 'The only solace I have In the tyrannny under1 which I languish Is that Adam languishes also," she exults. "I rejoice to watch hie struggles Into a pair of tight new gloves. I love to see Mm when his necktie has slipped under his ear.

'' ! f :. Jf C . " i ;t .V'' K "t x The packing Interests of South Omaha have been cited and will appear today to show cause why their assessment should not be raised 15 per cent above the assessment of last year. If the Increase Is ordered by the board of equalisa tion, it will mean an Increase ot $1,000,000 In valuation and a corresponding reduc tion of the mill levy. , , That the assessment of the packers will be raised goes without saying, the question being Just what the raise will be. Some of the members of the beard say that 2 per cent will be enough. Mayor Tom Hoctor Indicated yesterday that he hoped to raise the assessment a good deal over 10 per cent above last year's figures. A number of men have Indicated their Intention ot being present at the ses-' slons of the board during the hearing of the packers so that a record of the vote may be kept - ' Taking Account of Stock.

After more than a week's outing in Colorado, Traffic Manager Shoemaker of the Union Stock yards, la back at his desk. , Mr. Shoemaker has Just , returned from sessions of the- live stock conven tion In' Gunnison and Glenwood Springs, Colo. Speaking of the prospects, he gave it as his opinion that the ensuing year would see a condition In the cattle mar ket never, before witnessed. AH signs point to a great demand for feeders by the cattle men whose feed lots were depleted last , yeaf. This year feed is plentiful, but cattle will be scarce. As a-, consequence the. range cattle "will ad vance In price and the feed lots wlll.be stocked from range catUe, It all means that cattle will go higher this year said Mr. Shoemaker. Acting Chief fif Police Hank Elsfelder stated last night that he was investigat ing the, death, ,of Wallace Stewart, the Omaha contractor found dead upon the Burlington tracije some days ago. "The affair. Is. rather cloudy,'.' said .Captain' Els felder,. "and the. fact that the chauffeur of the taxlcab In, which Stewart rode did not appear, does not look right to me. It may have been that this man was beaten up and then rolled upon the Bur lington tracks. He had both rings and a watch before his death, tt seems. Any way the case has to be bleared up.' I want the chauffeur-to come in and ex plain his conduct. I also want the two women who rode with Stewart that night." , i t.' Luke's Lutheran church. Twenty fifth and K streets. Rev. S. H.

IK THfcttAW'?T! V'' Omaha eats one-fifth as many water melons In a day as Chicago and the Illi nois town. Is considerably more than five times the site of the Nebraska metropolis. It takes from 750 to 1,000 watermelons to fill a car, and, think of It, from three to five times that number to fill, Omaha's stomachs. Just to please the statistician and to give the finite mind a sort of an idea, this dally consumption weighs 235,000 pounds U7V4 tons., . , '. . . . . The figures sound pretty big. but It must be considered that the watermelon Is a cosmopolitan fruit. It can be found In high society and low and acta Just the same everywhere with the exception of somo places where It pulls harder on the purse strings. And, too, it tills a double bill It can be eaten and It can be drunk. ' ' Another big asset tt has Is Its seeds. There is somewhat of a demand tor watermelon seeds b'y amateur1 homeo pathic. It is very effective In cases of certain maladies and anatomical Incon venience. -'Vm ""..,,.
