South Omaha Women fell Mayor
Eootor They Are Disgusted.
WANT CLEAN FOOD FURNISHED
Resolution PaaneA br Woman's Club
Furor Clmner Food, netter
Honalnsr Conditions and
More Honrot Measures.
Women of South Omaha have endorsed
tho position Mayor Thomas Hoc tor has
i taken to force down. It possible, tha high
cost of living. At a meeting of the women
a resolution was passed in which the
Woman's club declared "disgust" with
tho untidy manner In which foodstuffs
were handled by dealers. The women
said they were "appalled" by the awful
uncleanllness everywhero about them.
Their resolution follows:
To Thomas Hoctor, Mayor of South'
Omaha:
Whereas, The members of the Equal
Franchise league of South Omaha have
read In the press that you wish to en
force sanitation of food and honesty of
wo'ghta nnd measures, and
Whereas. To this end you soy that a
food Inspector Is badly needed, and,
Whereas, Tou have had an ordinance
dratted providing for the appointment of
a food Inspector whoso duty also shall bo
to Inspect weights nnd measures in all
stores and on peddler wagons, and
Whereas, You propose also to have
nuo.nrl in nnllninNi for DUllalnft In-
! suector, and one creating the office of
city electrician ana piumuin mmywi.
Therefore, be It known:
First, That, confronted as we women
are In our home by exorbitant prices of
foods and meats, by the scarcity of
home-grown fruits, owing to Improper
cost of transportation, and to shrinkage
and waste in delivery. It Is a serious
economlo problem for the housewife to
provide adequate food values for her
family.
Second, That with our experience ns
housekeepers and cooks, we are appalled
at tbe unsanitary conditions found In
many stores and meat markets, where
decayed fruits and vegetables and Impure
meats are displayed, Infected by tiles
and gathering tho dust and spittle and
other refuge from tho streets.
Third, That often we turn away dis
gusted at the careless and untidy habits
of tho dealers who handle foodstuffs
which we must purchase for our tables.
Fourth, That with our practical ex
perience as housewives, we know that
tho. publlo health, as well as that of tho
Individual depends on proper housing of
families and business Interests', that
proper lighting facilities are necessary,
while drainage Is Imperative. We further
more know that careful gathering and
disposal of garbage would now insure
better conditions of health with less
danger of future epidemic.
Fifth, As these questions aro ot vital
Interest to the thoughtful, unselfish
women of your city, we heartily endorse
the effort you aro making to provide
clean food, honest measures and better
housing condtlons. Also wo assure you
that when tho men of Nebraska shall
grant us the ballot we will Intelligently
use that tool of legislation to assist you
In maintaining a high standard In all
these departments of municipal house
keeping. MRS. 'O. F. COPPER.
President.

BRUNER GETS GOOD BOOST
IN TRANSFER TO CHICAGO

freight agent ot the Union Pacific, who
has been appointed chief clerk to Freight
TrafflO Director Wlnchell of tho Union
Paclflo roads, goes to Chicago to take up
the duties of the new position not later
than August L
While the title that Mr. Bruner takes

promotion, those who know, say it is a
most pronounced advancement and the
salary will be much greater than that of
the position he is quitting.
A suocessor to Mr, Bruner has not been
named and there is considerable specu
lation as to who will be the lucky man.

MAY VOTE ON FIRST PAPERS
Misunderstanding Seems to Exist as
to the law.
CHANGE HAS NOW BEEN MADE
Now First Paper Are Oood for Only
Seven Years from the Time that
Ther Are Taken Ont by
the Applicant.
A misunderstanding has crept in to the
minds of many to the effect that those
who have simply declared their intention
of becoming citizens have no vote. This,
Naturalisation Clerk Henry l'earse says,
is not true. According to the constitu
tion of Nebraska, he says, every man who
has declared his Intention, or In other
words who has taken out his first papers,
Is entitled to a vote In Nebraska. Ne
braska is one of the five states of the
Union In which this Is truo.
Every day from a half dosen to a doten
men line up at the desk and tell their
tale of woe to the clerk. Many say that
they have been told by Judges and clerks
ot election in the past that they cannot
vote on first papers. They go to the of
fice then to take out first papers. In
these groups of men are some 'who took
out their first papers almost forty years
ago .Recently one has asked for final
papers, showing the first papers that he
took out' In 18T3. Ho had recently been
told that he could not vote on first papers.
ifirst papers taken out now, however.
and all that have been taken out since
September 26, 1906, aro only good for
soven years. After soven years they
must either bo renewed or final papers
must be taken out For various reasons
some men have long avoided the tlnsl
papers. Ono reason Is that first papers
cost only 41, while final papers cost II.
Experts Say Rain
is Still Needed
for Growing Corn
Assistant General Freight Agnt Jones
of tho Northwestern, after making a trip
over the company's South Platlo lines, Is
Inclined to the belief that corn has not
been seriously damaged by tho heat and
dry woathor. However, he Is of the
opinion that the critical stage has ar
rived and that a soaking rain Is needed'
from Lincoln, west, to Hastings and down
along the Superior branch. In some fields
In that section tha tops of tho corn have
commenced to turn yellow, indicating
that the plant Is dying. However, this is
In no wise general and only applies to
spots where tho soil Is very thin and
on the tops ot hills.
, Fred Smith, assistant general freight
agent ot the TUck Island at Kansas City,
Us In town, after making a trip through
northern Kansas and southern Nebrasku
as far west as Folrbury. He is ot tho
Opinion that In the territory visited corn
is still in good condition, but Is beginning
to need rain badly. With rain within the
next tn duys, Mr. Smith believes tht
north half of Kansas and all of .Ne
braska, with the possible exception ot a
small area in the southwest corner, will
have an average crop ot corn.
Light Rain General
Over Most of State
While the rain Tuesday night was not
heavy, It was general over ths greater
portion of Nebraska. The precipitation
came In a slow drlsxle, continuing a good
portion of the night, ranging from one
fourth to one-half Inch and all- sinking
Into the ground.
Railroad reports Indicate that tha rain
was general over the Omaha and Lincoln
divisions and over portions of tho Wy
more and the east halt ot the McCook
division along tho Burlington.
Along the Unton Pacific there was rain
from Q rand Island, east, but none west
ot that point. ,
The Northwestern reports rain over the
Winner and Oonesteel branches and
along the main line as far west as
O'Neill, with showers up the Missouri
valley to Bloux City.

W. Q. Ure, treasurer ex officio of the
Water board, will refuse to turn over tn
the new Metropolitan Water district moro
than a million dollars held by tho Water
board for tho city of Omaha. Ure, after
consultation with his attorneys, an
nounced his stand, basing his refusal on
the ground that this money does not be
long to the Metropolitan Water district
which Includes Omaha and South Omaha
and adjacent towns, but is really thi
property ot Omaha alone, whoso tax-payers
wore bonded for tho purchase ot the
water plant.
Mr. Uro hoped for somo taxpayer or
other interested person to ask the courts
for a restraining order restraining him
from turning this money over to the new
district, but slnco this was not done, he
acts upon his own Initiative after consul
tation with attorneys and his bondsraei'.
Tho next move must now bo made by
tho Water board. The courts will b
asked to compol Uro to turn tho money
over. Ure sold he bllav4 fVi- vir.,.

board has sold soven nnd a half millions

It was authorised to Issue, which has
raised tho balance In hand, all tho bonds
being secured by the credit of the city
