Antisplre Bread.

The mlller's occupation appears to be
gone In Italy. where much Of the bread
eaten Is being made direct from the
wheat without the miller's interven-
tion.
The process by which this result is
achieved is the invention Of NJ. Au-
guste Descotte, and appears to be SO
simple that the wonder is that IT was
not discovered long ago. The wheat,
which is first thoroughly sifted and
cleansed. is STEPPED for some hours In
warm water. 1t is then poured into
a machine, where It is kneaded by a
double line OF spirais working in OPP
posite directions into a paste, and
from this paste the bread is made.
The bread thus made is called anti
spire," and is Of a dark brown color
and of beautiful favor and aroma. Its
chief advantages are that 1t costs little
more than half the price Of ordinary
bread and will remain fresh three
times as long.

sprays Of the blood that broke from
the large drops and stained the paper.

The Clark Affair at Omaha.

Rufus L. Clark, whose alleged escap-
AIDES in Omaha are we'll known to our
readers, was arrested in Kansas City
last week and returned to Omaha with
out requisition papers. When arrested
he was employed as machinist at
Schuarlzschild & Snulzberger's packing
house. At Omaha last Saturday, he
was arraigned before Judge Vishonhaler
and released upon bonds in the sum of
$500, which he had no difficulty in Sc.
curing. Flo Conner, arrested here last
Thursday by Sheriff Power of Omaha,
upon q charge of larceny, which grew
out of her alleged flight from Omaha
with Clark, is in Jail in Omaha. She
was taken as far as Council Bluffs,
where she was placed in Jail to await a
correction in the requisition papers.
Saturday, she was taken to Omaha and
placed in jail. Clark was arralgned on
three indictments, that of larceny, lar
ceny as bailee and adultery. The Com
er woman is under indictment for lar
ceny and adultery. When Clark was
arraigned Saturday, he TOLD Judge Wis
honhaler that be felt justified in all he
had done. He denied having left with
the Conner woman and said he had not
heard from her since he went away. He
admitted that he knew her when she
lived in Leon.
"Judge, if you will live with my wife
six months, and then say l am not en-
titled to Divorce, or that Il was not
justified in all done, have nothing
more to say. Prison life would be pre-
ferable to one with her."
Word comes from Omaha that Mrs.
Clark intends to push the case against
her husband for all it's worth, and she
claims to have evidence upon which to
secure conviction, on all of the counts
upon which he is indicted. She is at
present living in modest apartments in
Omaha, and says she will remain there
until the matter has been settled in the
courts. She is receiving no support
from the Clarks, whom she says, told
her that she had better go to her home
at Webster City, as there was nothing
to be gained by her remaining there
Clark and the Conner woman will proba
bly, be given trial at the January tern
of court.
