I Elks' Service Flag
I Saved From Fire
That Took Building
If the Omaha Elks' lodge had not
hipped jits big service flag east to
w th& national convention at 6 o'clock
?'lasf 'Mot day night, it would have

curre"d that night. The flag has 131
Jifclue stars and a gold star, in memory
of Sergt. Kenneth E. Hatch, and is
'thechief treasure of the lodge.

i.big delegation to the national con-
vention, but excessive railroad lares
kept many members home this year.

y from Omaha.
: The convention will close this year
f, with a monster parade, m which
every lodge in the union, numbering
.:, about 1,400, will be represented by a
service flag. The parade has the sanc
s tionof President Wilson and will be
; reviewed by Secretary of War Baker.

members of the Omaha lodge, who
live in the east, asking them to at
tend and help JJY. Dysart carry the

Several other Nebraska lodges will

smeared the noble countenance of the
poet with the favorite war paint of
Mhe Teuton yellow. Of course the
poet has been dead more than a cen

a granite pedestal that was treate.l
with contumely.
To prevent a repetition City Com
missioner Towle made a motion the

Mayor Smith said the monument
was jn -affront to every patriotic

replied that Schiller was an opponent
of German militarism and was perse

would be no more an affront than
would be a man of German birth who
' was a patriotic American. '
Commissioner Ringer inquired if

Because of the emergency , which

detention home for women afflicted
with social diseases, and to comply
with an order from the United States
military authorities on the penalty
of losing Fort Omaha and Fort as

Police Commissioner Ringef feels

A protest in petticoats appeared at

You can't get awav from the
packing house smell in Omaha," said
the mayor. '1 live four miles from
the plants, 'yet there are days when
we have to close every window to
exclude the odor. It is a necessary
evil and it smells good, because of
the fact it smells of money and in
dustry and growth."
A motion was made and carried
that the boundaries of the packing
house district adopted by the city
planning board be extended to in
clude the territory east of Thirty
sixth street and south of the Burling
ton tracks and south of Q street and
west of Twenty-fifth street. This will
permit the Omaha Packing company
to complete its plant which is now
under construction. All concerns op

STOCK YARDS CO.
PREPARING FOR
HEAVY SHEEP RUN
j Expect History Making Re-
ceipts in Month; "Brush
ing Up" Barns; Facil
i li ties Increased.
The Union Stock Yards company
is making preparations to handle what
is expected to be one of the heaviest
western sheep runs ever recorded at
the South Side market. The barns arc
being thoroughly cleaned and disin
fected and will be in readiness to re
ceive stock in about a week, stock
men say.
The problem of the company in the
past has been to take care of the
leavy run oegan, ana to meet the
situation it was necessary to yard a
considerable number of the animals
in the combination sheep and hog
barns. This year, however, stockmen
say that the shipments will probably
be "strung out" considerably, and will
allow the sheep to be cared for in the
sheep division alone
This market has a yarding capacity
of 80,000 sheep, and at one time 100,-
000 head ot western Iambs were cared
tor.
Figures show that the receipts of
sheep have steadily increased during
the first six months of this year, over
those i of last vear. Stockmen inter
pret this as meaning a liberal run for
the balance or the year. Ihe re
ceipts by months were as follows:
January, 244,266; February, 165,052;
March, 229,292; April, 164,709; May,
i-',4io and June, 116,842,
The largest single day's run in the
hstory of the market was on Oc
tober 10. 1910. when 236 cars, or 63.1
714 sheep, were yarded and cared for.
The heaviest week was that ending
September t), VJU, when 713 cars,
or 199,836 sheep, were yarded, that
also being the heaviest month on rec
ord, with 2,660 cars, or 740,242 sheep,
The heaviest year was in 1915, with
12,754 cars, or 3,268,279 sheen.
This season's heavy run is expected
to begin within a month stockmen
say.
Police Doctor Saves Woman

Erma McAllister, 520 South Six

matron's department at the city jail,
Monday night. Dr. Drew, police sur
geon, was' summoned, gave her treat
ment and removed her to the Lister
hospital.
The woman is a police character
and was forced by federal authorities
to move -from the vicinity of Fort
Crook. She was arrested May 31,
and sent to 'St. Joseph's hospital.
She escaped from the hospital, was re
arrested and sent to the Women's de
tention hdme, but proved to be so
unruly that she was removed to the

More Yardage Facilities;
Building 200 Cattle Pens
Laying of new concrete floors in
about 80 of the 200 new cattle pens,
now in the course of construction at
Hie west end of the Union Stock
yards, will be started this week. Con
crete flooring for all of the pens is ex
pected to be completed by September
1, when the heavy run of western cat
tle usually begins.
The' traders' division will now have
sufficient yardage facilities to care for
their feeder stock. The extension of
yardage accommodations has been
made necessary by the unprecedented
luJavy receipts of live stock this .year,
which promises to eclipse all previ
ous years in the history of the market.
