An n result of the constant high price
of butter, the eale of butterlne In Omalm
liave doubled In tlin last year. In the
cummer time, when butter sell for n
reasonable- price, the butterlne sales are
relatively small, but when fall and winter
arrive ami the price of butter Jump up
ward, butterlne sales Increase. Accord
ing to Al Kin, manager of the Haydcn's
grocery department, the sales of bulter
lm average per day about twice as much
as last year at this time.
llutterlne sells from KM cents to M
cents and. according to Mr. King, who
rays he has a ticklish palate, the differ
ence between the 35-cent branff and the
best creamery butter Is so slight that a
difference of 10 cents In price would
make almost anybody who had over sam
pled butterlne use It In place of butter.
Kgss have taken a sudden Jump In
price. It Is almost Impossible to secure
fresh eggs at present nnd fresh eggs are
selling for 35 cents. Storage egs took a
boost of 2 cents In prlco to keep the
prices In proportion. Most of tho e-gg
sales In Omaha nre storago eggs.
Sugar took a rlso In price and Is now
selling twenty-one pounds for a. dollar.
Coffees, teas, clieeso and other staplo
articles havo remained about tho sumo
for tho last week. Meats have taken no
Jumps, but spring chickens fell off 1
cent a pound.
Al Ihomo grown vegetables are com
pletely off the market and all vegetables
in Omaha now are shipped from the
Miuth. Grapo fruit Is coming Into tho
market In fine style from both Florida
and Cuba and apples are In good season.
Apples- are selling from J1.S3 to $2.55

from Mr. McGovern's office In the Tlrun

a mortgage sjsned, and yet Mr, McGovern
would assail' my character for the sole
purpose of getting an opportunity to tell
the public, how faithfully he Is doing his
duly.
"Now, let me compare my service to
the city with that of Mr. Townsend, en
gineer, as Mr. McGovern calls him. I
wns given but four days' vacation this
year, in fact, McGovern refused me any
nt all after most of his favorite em
ployes were grunted a vacation and while
one was at that time off for a two
weeks' vacation. He allowed Mr. Town
send in less than two months after his
appointment as city engineer, to servo
on the Jury from February 5 to March S,
1913, Inclusive, when ho could have got
ten off by the simple asking and Mr.
Townrend received for same Jury service
tW, while at tho same time drawing his
pay from the city, and this, I understand,
by Mr. SIcGovern'a permission. After
complaints wero made about It, Mr. Mc
Govern made tracks to the court house
and Townsend was iminodlntely excused.
'Did anybody ever heur of George W.
Craig, Mr. Tlllson or Mr. Rosewater serv

city engineer? 1, myeelf, have never
served on the Jury one day and have
been excused halt a dozen tlmev Who Is
this Mr. TownsendT Mr. McGovern Intro
duced him to the public that he claims
to sen's so faithfully as a man of great
engineering ability and one of his best
recommondatlons was that he ha1 been
an assistant engineer In St Paul, Minn.
Now, then, If any business man has any
curiosity to know, let hlin write the city
engineer of St. Paul. It Is true he has
Inspected carpenter work on the Union
Pacific for some depots built by Bridges
& Hoye. But as long as such a man has
Mr. McGovern to tell what to do and
when to do it and what to say and when
to say It, It matters not whether he
learned his engineering by driving nails
ln a carpenter shop, and If the public
"don't like the way Mr, McGovern runs
the engineering department, Mr. McGov
eni will get a public that will." Yon
may ask me why I drag Mr. Townsend
Into this? It la for these reasons. He
mado himself a willing tool to Mr. Mc
Govern to drag me down from chief field
engineer to a position of I know not
what, to gratify Mr. McGovern's desires
to take revenge on me for not informing
on other employes to make room for his
friends and also to replace me as field
ranged by him, that his chauffeur was engineer by one of his favorites now In
jut that time hauling Mrs. McGovern and I hi" office and which will come bsfor

DR.CHARLES MRNEY DEAD
Famous Surgeon Dies Suddenly of
Heart Disease.
DISCOVERER OF APPENDICITIS
III :- on Illsrnses of thr Vermi
form Appendli, Published In
t HHU, C.nvn Him World
Wld Knme,
STOCK BniDOK, Mass., Nov. 7.-Dr.
Charles McBurney, the New York sur
geon, died suddenly of heart disease
early today at the home of his sister In
Brookllne, Mas.
Dr. McBurney returned from a hunting
trip In Maine last Saturday. He had ap
peared In his usual health until this
morning.
Dr. McBurney, after a practice of
nearly forty years In New York, retired
to his country estatn In 1607. During his
residence In Htockbrldgo ho had been ail
enthusiastic follower of outdoor life and
sports.
Dr. McBurney was born at Itoxbury,
Mass., wlxty-elght years ago. He was a
graduate of liana rd college and of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, New
York. During his professional life he
was connected as visiting or consulting
surgeon with many New York hospitals
and for a time was professor of clinical
surgery In the College of Physicians and
Surgeons.
When President MoKlnley was shot In
1901 Dr. MoBumey was called from
Btockbiidge and took charge of the case.
DUrnvrrrr of ApprnrilHtla.
NEW YORK, Nor. 7-Dr. McBurney
had alreadu acquired u considerable
reputation as a skilful surgeon, when In
18S9 he pubiltmed an essay on "Kx
perlence with operative Interference In
cases of disease of the vermiform ap.
pendlx." The essay brought him If cog
nltlon from the whole world and for
many years his colleagues Jocularly
called hfm the "father of appundlcltls."
His essay created the first general recog
nition ot the d I fate. It contained a
means of diagnosis and a character of
treatment, and gave to America admitted
priority and pre-eminence In that treat
ir.ent. The prominence which he gave to
the sympton of localised tenderness, now
universally known as "McBurncy's point,"
brought ji ready means of diagnosis and
undoubtedly led to the saving of thou
sands ot lives.
His later contributions to medical
srlenco Included the Introduction of the
first effective operation for the relief of
hernia, a new method of operation ror
biliary calculi, and a revolutionary change
In the method ot treating certain part
of the humerus. He was a pioneer In
Insisting on asertlc surgery and he de
veloped a great part of the ateptlc opera
tive tf chnluue which soon became a mat
ter of course In all operating rooms.
Exports of Coal
Double Within
Last Decade
WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. ".-The
value of coal passing out of continental
itnitmi Kt.fis. In the year which ends
with next month will approximate $100.
(09,000, against less than half that sum
a decade ago. This estimate, based upon
figures for eight months of the current
year Just completed by the Bureau of
foreign ami Domestic commerce, ue
mrtment of Commerce. Indicates that
the value of domestic, coal sent to foreign
countries In the full year will approx
imate r?0,oo0,000i of that supplied to ves-
jIn pniraKea In the foreign trade, IK,-
(rtu.000; of coke exported, tf.SOO.OO); and
of shipments of coal to the non-contiguous
territories of the United States, II,
OOO.OCrt. This Indicates an increase dur
ing the last decado of over 100 per cent,
the value of coal exported In the calendar
year 1W3 having been $27,000,000, whllo
for the current year the total win ap
proximate 170,000,000; and the Increase ln
the value of coal supplied to vessels en
f. in the foreign trade and of that
passing out of the country In the form
of coke has been alonr similar lines.
though the official record of that sup.
piled to vessels only begins with the year
1907.
Most of the coal passing out or tne
country leaves by the northern-border
ports. Of tho 1:5,000.000 worth of anthra
cite coal exported In the fiscal year 1913
over 123,000,000 worth inuucd through tho
northern-border ports, while of the $43,
