Neat Inspection Ordinance UHdsrgOss a
Critical Examinatiss.
CITY CLERK sHRGLEY LOOKS UP MATTER
History Of the Local Law BEING
Prepared for the Information
Of the Mayor aud city
ouncfI

City Clerk Shrigley srent a portion Of
his time yesterday IN going over the old
records OF the council in relation to the
meat inspector controversy. Ordinance No.
10 provides for the appointment Of a
meat Inspector to serve for a period Of
three months. without pay from the city.
The duties OF this ohtcial were to inspect
meat packed mere for export. This ordinance
as the number indicates was passed in the
early days Of South Omaha's history. The
object was to provide an Official 20 inspect
the meats destined Tor foreign markets.
This was before the Bureau of Animal
Industry was established here.
Next comes ordinance No. III creating
the Office OF stock inspector and then this
is followed by ordinance No. 1855 providing
a salary Of $50 a month for the stock in
spectoT.
In his Official notice Mayor Koutsky de-
clared the ordinance Of meat inspector va
cant. but made no mention Of a stock
Inspector. 1t is presumed that the mayor
will issue a new order at the next meeting
OF the council, making a correction.
One portion of the ordinance creating the
Office Of stock inspector says that the in
cumbent may be removed for cause by the
mayor. with the concurrence of the coun-

walk Needs Repairing.
The sidewalk on the north side Of ] street
between Twenty fourth and Twenty-hfth
streets is in a delporable condition. This
walk is a plank one and a count yesterday
showed that in the distance OF one block
twenty-fcur planks were missing. Members
OF the Presbyterian church, which is To-
Gated at T%enty-hfth and J streets are
anxious that this walk be. repaired as soon
as possible. Several efforts have been made
to have this one block graded, but some
Of the property owners are always object
ing, so the city under the present charter
is unable to do anything. II can. however,
repair the walk at a comparatively small
expense.
TeRmsters Getting Together.
The local teamsters' union has issued
a call for a special meeting on Sunday next,
when It is expected that definite steps may
be taken to secure an increase in wages.
At the present time the union here has
about seventy-ive members, but efforts are
being made to increase this membership
to $50 as soon as possible. It was stated
last evening by some OF the teamsters that
a regular schedule would be submitted to
the employers soon. A general raise in
wages will, it is asserted, be demanded.

time on there will be choir practice every

sixty Days for Coal.

sixty Days Tor GOAL
South Omaha coal dealers were greatly
pleased yesterday to learn that the strike
liz the anthracite regions had practically
been settled. 1t is not expected that any
extensive shipments Of hard coal will be
received here for about sixty days. Some
Of the local dealers say that the big cities
OF the east. where anthracite is used al
most exclusively. will be supplied before
shipments are directed toward the west.
Complain About Car Famine.
Livestock shippers to this market con-
tinue to complain about the western car
famine. Many shippers report that it is
almost impossible to secure cars when
needed. On the other hand, railroad off,
Gals are reported as saying that every eff
fort is being made to secure sufieient cars
for the transportation OF stock to this mar
ket. One railroad official stated yesterday
that II there was a car famine on now IL
would not last long, as arrangements were
being made to get all available stock ears
in service as soon as possible. While hog
receipts are a little low at the present time.
the receipts OF cattle are above the av-
erage. The same may be said Of sheep.
Local commission men say that most likely
the hog deficit will more than be made up
by the end OF the calendar year.
Many Petty Thieves at Large
Detectives for the various railroads run
ming through South Omaha assert that
there is a great deal OF stealing going on
in the yards here. Brass fittings have
been stolen OF late which cost the railroad
companies considerable money. One in
stance was reported where the fittings
stolen cost the company $3.50. They were
sold to a South Omaha junk dealer for 314.
This partieulag batch Of stun was mutt
lated. but the detectives report that in
some instances the junk dealers do not
make any effort to erase manufacturers or
owners make. It Is asserted that the ordi-
nanees Of South Omaha are so drawn as TO
be Ineffective in cases Of the kin men
toned. A new ordinance is being eonsid-
cred by the city o~nheials.

KING DIMES WITH CHOATE
Unprecedented Honor to the Ameri-
can Ambassador at London.
Ore OF tho Most Intoresting Incidents o.
tbs Present Reign. and All Lon
don Talked About It.

Loadon.-It Is not only unusual. but
almost unprecedented for a reigni1S
monarch to honor the Ambassador OF
q foreign nation by dining with Linn.
Therefore. the fact that King Edward
and Queen Alexandria dined at the
house Of United States Ambassador
Choate must be looked upon as m ex.
traordinary mark Of favor and esteem
to him as the official representative Of
the United States. In no way could
the King more clearly express his wish
to maintain the closest. most cordial
relations with the United States than
BY thus signally hOnoring the American
Ambassador. The visit was one Of the
most interesting incidents Of the pres.
ent reign. and all London talked Of 1t.
A big crowd collected outside of Am.
bassador Choate's residence to witness
the arrival Of the King and Queen.
The exterior Of the house was illumin-
ated with designs representing the
American flag and the royal crown.
with the letters "E. R." The interior
was deliberately decorated with roses
and palms.
All the gentlemen guests wore knee
breeches. white waistcoats and coats
similar to those worn as court dress.
There was a sumptuous menu. The
dishes. bearing American names. were
prepared by the best cooks In London.
including the chef Of the Carlton Hotel.
About forty guests were present.
They included Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid. the Russian Ambassador. the
Bishop Of London. Sir William and
Lady Vernon Harcourt. Mr.. Arthur
Balfour, Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr..
and Mrs. Henry White and Miss White.
Mr.. John 8. Sargent. Mr. Robinson.
