WHISKY MAY BE
USED AS A CURE
FOR INFLUENZA
x City Commissioners Vote to
Give Confiscated "Booze"
to Hospitals for Use in
Combating Disease.
Do you feel that old, pre-prohibi-v
tion 'feeling coming on? Do you
long for a good stiff drink of
whisky?
Then, listen! Just call on City
Health Commissioner Manning and
tell 'im you feel the "flu" coming on,
and he'll give you a bottle of whisky.
Hold on, read a little farther.
This is what he would do if be
undertook to do all that four of the
city commissioners voted to let him
do Friday morning. Commissioners
Zimman, Falconer, Butler and Ure
voted to release all the liquor held
impounded in the city jail, for life
of individual! or hospitals in figh
ing the "flu."
Commissioners Smith, Towl and
Ringer voted against it as illegal.
Commissioner Zimman made a
speech in defense of the action and
even admitted that he had violated
the strict letter of the law recently
in procuring a little whisky for the
sick child of a man who appealed to
him.
"I technically violated the law,"
li p vr! a i iimrl "Mpr T am Arrpcf
me, if you like."
Dut nobody arrested him and the
measure was carried.
But will Dr. Manning give out
whisky to individuals who complain
of feeling the "flu" coming on?
He will not. In loud and ringing
tones he answered: (
"This whisky is for the use of
hospitals only. Not a single, soli
tary exception will be made in that,
you may be sure.
, So the thirsty need not call and
try to stall. There is nothing doing.
F. J. Ramey Back on the Job;
"Flu" Prevents Departure

for Camp Kearny last Monday, but
whose departure was deferred on ac
count of the "flu," is back at his old

Melady Asks Information
About Fixed Prices on Hogs
The great decline in the price, of
hogs and the varying indifferent
markets from the minimum price of
$18, which was reported to have
been fixed by an agreement between
the food administratioin and the
packers in Chicago, hat given rise
to so much dissatisfaction that Gene
Melady, of the commission firm of
Melady Brothers, has written Louis
D. Hall, specialist in marketing live
stock ana meats in the bureau of
markets in Washington, asking
where to draw the line on hogs.
ported to-'fiave been made between
the food administration and the
packers $18 was to be the minimum
for October in Chicago for good
hogs, giving the purchasers the op
portunity to buy hogs at any price
and calling the big end of them
"common. According to reports
yesterday from Chicago, good hogs
sold there from ?14 to $14.75, With
rough grades under.
This gives the hog producers in
this territory the impression that
hogs would sell on the Omaha mar
ket with the difference in freight be
tween Omaha and Chicago, which
would be 25 to SO cents lower than
the minimum agreed upon in
Chicago.
Mr. Melady asks that the producer
be consulted In the fixing of the
price if he is expected to stay in the
business of producing hogs, and that
some information be sent the local
market concerning the Axed price
agreed upon for the month of No
vember, if there is to be any limit
placed on the price.
Dealers on the Omaha Live Stock
exchange say the conditions in the
hog situation have never been as
unsatisfactory as they are at present
and feel that some arrangements
ought to be mdae to protect the
producer.

COURT HOUSE
MACHINE VENTS
SPITEON CARDS
Democrats Ignore Rules of the
Game and Tear Down Mike
Clark's Announcements
as Sheriff Candidate.
The democratic court house ma
chine has placed a ban on Sheriff
Clark's campaign cards and pla
cards and is making a systematic
effort to tear down Clark's cards as
fast as posted. It has been custom
ary to allow candidate's cards in
the court house, but in their pre-?nt
desperate state of mind, the demo
crats arc ignoring all the rules of
"civilized political warfare."
Another bit f evidence of the
workings of the democratic mind at
this time may be observed and heard
in the resort to epithets.
"Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad," was a quota
tion used ' a republican, while dis
cussing th. situation. "The demo
crats surely are mad. They are also
disorganized. I never hearda man
so berated by his own party as
'King' Arthur Mullen is just now
being excoriated, they charge Mul
len with mussing things up generally
and they see nothing but defeat
ahea.d. That is why they are mad
at him. .They are running around
in circles. I don't like to laugh at
folks In distress, but it's .hard
to keep from laughing at this
situation."
Last chance yesterday for electors
to correct their registrations in the
election commissioner's office for the
election in November. Likewise, it

already registered, to have their
names duly recorded in time to vote
Lt this election. The commissioner s
office was open until 9 o'clock
last night. '

effort to avoid Sullivan's car, which
was going south on Fourteenth
street, he headed for the Harney
hotel entrance. Sullivan's car
veered around and was also part
way up the steps.
Sullivan had thre,e passengers in
his car, but all escaped uninjured.
Neither car was damaged badly.
Lesley and Sullivan were arrested 1

ing. Discussion of Boundaries
