FIELDS ABE PLAYING OUT Allrmaa Declares Kerosene Will Be amt as Good and Mack More Economical Than Gasoline lor Antos. Th high price of sanollne, due to the Insufficient supply In the oil fields, will nie&n that automobiles will eventually be run with kerosene Instead of gasoline," said President Alleman of the Standard Oil company of Nebraska, "There sre more heat units In kerosene than there afSa in gasoline and the only difficulty la; that we cannot start automobiles with kerosene, as It Is not volatile enough. -Automobiles will have to have a little auxiliary gasoline engine to start the machine and after, that kerosene can be used to go ahead with the work of driv ing, the cur. There are hundreds of sta tionary gasoline, engines In Nebraska to day that are being operated with kero sene oil and are giving perfect satisfac tion. This has come about on account of the high price of gasoline. These engines are started and run for about three min utes with gasoline and are then switched over to the use of kerosene, being oper ated at a profitable saving of quantity and price." ... Kerosene Exported. .The supply of kerosene, Mr. Alleman said, was not so likely to run out, as the Standard Oil company Is constantly exporting millions of gallon of kero : n and not exporting a single gallon of fc-aollne. This shows that the demand at hiijne Is consuming the gasoline while there Is such an abundance of kerosene tfiat vast quantities of It are exported. Hesdes the mid-continent crude oil Is j'roduclng 11 per cent of gasoline while it Is producing 36 to 40 per cent of.kero- fei-ne. N "The advance In the last year In the jt!ce of gasoline," said Mr. Alleman. "fs due to nothing other than the advance in' the price of crude oil In the vanishing oil fields. No new fields are being dis covered that amount to anything, and tl:se old ones are not meeting the de . mand. The automobile business, of coree, has a great deal to do with this increased demand for gasoline in the last several years." vAutomobile gasollv Is now selling at Wi cents per gallon, while what is known a the Pennsylvania gasoline costs U crnts here. Mr. Alleman says there Is ucally no difference except the difference In freight which goes to the railroad companies, for he ssys the mid-continent oil serves the purpose for automobiles as well as does -the Pennsylvania, but that some people always demand Penn sylvania oil and, of course, they have to have It and have to pay the difference. Both these varieties are about S cents higher than they were a year ago. . had a wife he was denied a marriage license by Charles A. Furay of the mar riage license bureau Friday. Bruton is out looking up his matrimonial status and if he finds he Is unmarried he will return and secure a license to marry Ellen Ward of South Omaha. Bruton told Furay that he once had a wife, but she left him seventeen years ago. Some months later he heard In directly that she had divorced him, but he never found out whether the report was true. Alfred Cornish & Co, Make Prize Saddle for Frontier Show WISHES TO KNOW NOW IF HE HAS LIVING WIFE For nearly seventeen years Robert "iuton of South Omaha has not known whether he ws married or "single." Be .'Uk be couldn't tell whether or not he Now on exhibition in the Union Pacific ticket office window Is the 1000 silver- mounted saddle which Is to be given by them to the champion rough rider of the world at Cheyenne Frontier days. This saddle is a fine sample of this kind of goods. ; Few people realize that in Omaha there is one of the oldest and best-known sad. die houses in the Unltsd States, the firm of Alfred Cornish & Co. having suc ceeded the old firm of G. H. & J. S. Collins, which was established In Omaha in 1804, and which was a continuation of the old Grant & Collins firm of Galena, 111., General Grant's father being one of the firm and General Grant himself one of their employes. In later years the firm was known as Collins A Morrison and at one time they were the largest saddle manufacturers In the west, having branch stores at Cheyenne, Miles City ana Bluings, xso saddle was ever so well known or has such a reputation among the cattle men. The firm of Alfred Cornteh & Co. con tlnues to make the same saddle for which the old firm became so well known. To day they are sent all over the world, some having gone to Paris, France; Glas gow, Scotland; Athens,- Greece, and wherever Colonel Cody has traveled with his Wild West show. Colonel Cody always used the Collins saddle himself, his last one costing $650. This Is toe third year this saddle has baeen made in Omaha by Alfred Cornish & Co. for the Frontier day celebration. CITY PASSES A WEIGHT LAW All Grocers and Peddlers Must Sell Goods by Weight IS PASSED BY A CLOSE VOTE Plan la Pnt In Effect for the Pur pose of Protecting; Housewives Acalust Dealers ' Who Would Cheat. By a vote of five to six, Commissioner Butler dissenting, the "weights' ordi nance prepsred by "the city sealer of weights and measures passed the city council yesterday. Henceforth grocers and peddlers must sell all articles by weight. Explaining his vote Commissioner But ler said In his opinion it would be just as easy for a peddler to cheat by weight as by measure, and that he believed the ordinance was a scheme to dispose of a lot of scales. , . Commissioner Kugel declared he was not In favor of the ordinance, but would vote for it anyway. He said it would be even .less difficult to cheat housewives in selling by weight because very few knew how "many pounds of potatoes there were in a peck." This ordinance, which will go Into ef fect in fifteen days, will compel peddlers and grocers to use scales approved by the city sealer of weights and measures. The following will be the standard of weights: Pounds.

Mr. Isaacs declared that so far as this year Is concerned, no extensions of the Harrlman lines are contemplated. Next year, he said, some now lines might be built, but added that "it is too soon to talk about that." LICENSE IS GRANTED TO THE TINLEY HOME After a fight lasting several weeks the Tlnley Rescue home has been given a license by the State Board of Health, the granting of the license being a vindica tion of the home and a refutation of the charges lodged against it by several resi dents and owners of near-by property who protested the license. The protestants urged that the license be denied because of the home's close proximity to the County Detention home, because It reduced real estatte values, and because the home was conducted In such a .manner as to be offensive to per sons living or passing nearby. After Dr. E. Arthur Carr, vice presi dent of the State Board of Secretaries, had visited Omaha and studied the situa tion and had reported In favor of the license, the Board of Secretaries recom mended its granting. After a protracted hearing before the State Board of Health, at which all witnesses appearing for both sides were heard, the board voted to grant the license.

The mean temperature for the month was 78, as against 79 in 19U. Taking the month all In all. it was a most agreeable thirty-one periods of twenty-fours each, for on twelve day 3 rain was noticeable, varying from .02 of an Inch to .94 of an Inch. There were twelve clear dvs firtr. partly cloudy days and four days on wntcn the sun failed to. peep out from cover at all. The full quota of 100 per cent of sunshine was' registered on five days. The ' total precipitation was L7S inches. . The only semblance of a wind storm was in evidence on July 14, when a north breese whisked things about to the tune of thirty-two miles an hour. In. the Interest of goea wagon and auto mobile roals. the Northwestern Is this year spending almost $25,000 along its mall line from Clinton to Council Bluffs, la. Across Iowa the Northwestern is doub ling the length of the planking at every crossing on the main line, making these crossings thirty-two feet. In addition, it is grading down and leveling up all of the approaches to the crossing, thus making easy grades and thnn mak ing, this grade thirty-two feet wide, covering It back to the edge of the right-of-way with either cinders or crushed stone to the depth of six. Inches. The danger signal signs are left as they have stood for years, but back 600 feet on either side of the track where highways cross, additions , caution signs have been placed. With these improvements made, Gen eral Manager Walters is of the opinion that the Trans-Continental route that follows the Northwestern, will always continue' to be the popular route with the auto tourists. He also believes that with the crossings widened and the ad ditional caution signs, there will be no excuse for accidents when automobiles cross the railroad tracks. A few weeks ago section foremen on the NoJthwestern were instructed to count the automobiles passing over the Trans-Continental route between Clinton and Council Bluffs.

Funeral services will be held at the Church of the Covenant, Twenty-seventh and Pratt streets, at 1 o'clock -Saturday afternoon. Interment will be in Mount Hope cemetery ' ' Price of Mutton Half that of Beef "The price of meat continues to soar," said Nat C. Houston, manager of the Great Western commission firm at South Omaha, "for the simple reason that the public clamors for beef and bacon and treats mutton with scorn. "Beef and hog values have been speed ing skyward, -but sheep have not partici pated in the jump. Thousands of ewes have sold at $3.76 to $4.25 per hundred weight on the Omaha market lately, and these prices mean 7V cents mutton in the carcass.' Packers assert that American people will not eat this, the .healthiest and cheapest meat on the market' A dollar will buy more mutton than will $2 of 'any othef meat, and it ought to be the ' poor man's ' mainstay. '.'There never. was a time when sheep were selling so much out of line with everything convertible' Into meat It Is a putsle to the stock yard trade. Killers assert that public institutions afford the sole outlet for mutton, the public taste running largely to lambs, which is rela tively dear." Herea Half-Price Sale Begins Saturday, August .
