Tears ago. when the new west was be
ginning to be explored and adventurous
pioneers .began 'to advance westward,
seeking thp gold and other riches of tho
west, a party of them Btopped and chose
a site for the smalt river trading post
which afterward was to become the ris
ing and prosperous city of Omaha.
These pioneers, although they knew
' it gold was to be had In California,
jst to stop and settle on. the shores of
the Missouri river.
Perhaps these men could foresee that
the natural advantages of this site as
an unloading and distributing center
would cause It to grow into a prosperous
city, for today Omaha has taken Its
jjiaee among the great cities of the United
States. Omaha at the present time cov
ers about twenty-four and a hlf square
miles of ground, and has a population or
about 124.000, and ten railway trunk lines
center In the city.
Here we have an Instance of how good
transportation facilities will increase the
manufacturing- Industries of a city.
Omaha Is Ideally located as a manufac
turing city. The great western states
furnish the raw products which on their
way to the east pass through Omaha.
The eastern states, which manufacture
goods Which the west needs, send their
products to Omaha, and from, Omaha
these goods are distributed to every part
of the western and central states. There
fore It Is natural that factories should be
build between these two currents of trade,
Omaha manufactures almost every nec
essary article. In the foremost rank of
Omaha's Industries are the dairy products
faotortes, the largest market for dairy
products In the world being found here.
Another large and Interesting Industry
ft Omaha Is the stock yards and packing
houses. These stock yards are now the
second In slie In the world. It Is very
Interesting to visit these packing houses
and watch the sheep, cattle and hogs
being converted Into mutton, beet and
pork. Every available . part of the ani
mals la used, and It ts said that every
part or the pigs Is used for some pur
pose except the "squeal."
Shirts and overalls constitute a large
their

Omaha possesses the largest smelter tn
the world. This smelter Is the ' largest
refinery for lead ores, copper and the
precious metals In the world.
One of the best advantages which any
city can possess Is a good school system.
Omaha'a schools rank among the first in
that respect There are thlrty-four mod
ern. well-equipped schools, centering
aooui a large modem high school. The
teaching staff numbers between flvo and
six hundred teachers.
Omaha-as a residence cltv has fult
many advantages as any other city of
tne same slse In the United States.
There are no slums, the vnlihv an
middle classes haye beautiful, well kept
homes, while the laboring class ha nat
comfortable houses. There ore compara
tively row nets.
Omaha has many beautiful Dublin nrir
which are open to the publlo at all times.
All these advantages which Omaha.
sessea are bound to help It toward future
greaineas and prosperity,

JULIUS ORKIN SUIT ? CLOAK HOUSE
Man of Mystery is
Invading Homes
Curbstone Politician Decide He is
Enough of a Ilall Mooaer to
He Fermltted to Hold
the Office.
It Is an open question In Omaha curb
stone politics whether Henry Ostrom,
nowly appolntod deputy election commis
sioner, really knows how narrowly he
escaped being gored by the big bulls of
the local bull moosers, even after he had
the appointment. Whether he knows It
or not, the proposition of plunging the
horns ot bun mooslsm Into him and
hurling bodily out ot his new position,
was discussed by bull moose ward heel
ers just before he got the place.
It all came about through a technical
ity, which Is the species of political mons
ter that causes a great deal of knifing
and gouging In politics. But after the
bull moosers had decided that by throw.
lng him out they could not better them
selves, they decided very graciously to
let htm stay, and the giant technicality
slipped back into Its little corner ot In
significance. Tho moosers had decided
that Ostrom had at least as many bull
moose leanings last fall as any other,
even though he did register as a .repub
lican. The moosers "know where he was
at" as they expressed It, and from last
fall's campaign forward they have stead
ily counted him as one of themselves.
The"rechnlcaUtr.
Now tho technicality Is this: The eleo-
tlon commissioner law says the governor
may appoint an election commissioner
from the same party with himself, and
that the deputy eleotlon commissioner
shall be appointed from the party receiv
ing the second largest vote at the elec
tion. Well, when Ostrom Was appointed
as a "republican" tho bull moosers began
to bellow and to paw tho earth a bit,' for
they maintained among themselves In
their ourbstono conventions In front ot
tho Rogers cigar store that the "progres
sives" are the party that received the
second highest vote at last fall's election
in Nebraska.
"Yes, sir, anyway, you're a mind to
take It." said one. "If you base It on the
presidential election, Roosevelt got 72.T76
to Taft's 64.88 In Nebraska. Bo the
progressives are the second party of the
state. And If you base It on the guber
natorial election, Aldrich waa second
man. and wasn't he endorsed by the
progressives? Yes. sir, a progressive
should have the deputy election commis-
slonershlp, according to tho law."
"Tush, tush." sold John Lewis, the boss
of the curbstone convention. "Ostrom Is
a bull mooaer at heart. so you better let
well enough alone."
And Immediately tho matter of wtiat
might or might not be tho provision of
the election commissioner law, became
of no oonseauence to the group of "thou
shalt not steal" statesmen and the con
vention adjourned and Ostrom reigns.

Into a home In broad light of day, smil
ingly appropriate whatever pleases him
and walk nonchalantly out.
Yesterday afternoon Louis Raapke, 2415
Jones street, was lounging In his lllbrary.
The front door stood open. He heard a
man walk Into the hall and saw him
reach for the coat rack and take down
his J75 overcoat.
"That you Wllir asked Mr. Raapke.
drowsily, thinking It waa his son. Thero
was no answer.
The man stepped to the porch, stopped
and put on Raapke's overcoat. Raapko
became suspicious and went cut on the
porch. He saw a tall stranger wearing
his overcoat making his way leisurely
down the street.
Raapke is a man of action. He darted
down the street and grabbed the
stranger by the collar. The stranger
doubled his arms back and slipped out
of the overcoat and continued his stroll.
Raapke was so astonished he. couldn't
think of a thing to say.
"He was a tall man, with a dark mus
tache, and was very well dro&sed," said
Raapke. He was the calmest crook t
aver saw." Raapke's neighbors and sev
eral other citizens have reported a
strange man who walks up on their
porches, looks Into, the hall and If he
finds It tenanted walks away as If he
had made a mistake.
