ToUeHS COME FROM THE WEST
Esta bIIshment of a WOrkhouse Has
Driven Them Out of
Denver.

That Omaha has suddenly become overrun
with a low class of toughs and crooks,
principally negroes, is growing more appar-
emit to the police Tuesday alone, II is said,
at least seventy-hve strange negroes who
hang about cheap dives with no visible
means of support arrived in Omaha. They
are OF the class which gives the police of
all cities the greatest labor Some Of them
are bad crooks with penitenuary records
while practically all have had short SEN
fences for petty thieving.
The opening of a workhouse at Denver
is said TO be responsible for this movement,
large share OF the newcomers hailing
from the western city. The police expect to
have their hands full keeping these fellows
under surveillance, and will try TO keep
them from maintaining any headquarters
or gathering places.

Company, Low Bidders on

Yesterday afternoon Don c. Aver, chief
OF the Bureau of Animal Industry at South
Omaha. made his first authorized public
statement concerning the new meat inspec-
ton I'm South Omaha. Regarding numerous
purported statements heretofore, the doctor
said Il have been quoted so much that
every time l see my name in print 1t
makes me swear" His statement antci-
pates a visit from Secretary Wilson and
A. y. Melvin, chief of the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry at Washington. d. c. He
says all is practically ready for the visit
and the new inspection. His statement is
as follows:
Il have informed the chief Of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry at Washington that the
Swift, Omaha and Cudahy Packing COM
panies are now ready for inspection under
the new regulation, and that Armour &
Co.. are still making some changes in dress
ing rooms, closets and so forth. which will
be completed in few days. Then all the
plants at this point will be ready for in
spectIon. We are expecting, consequent
upon our report that all the plants in bust
ness here will be personally inspected by
Secretary Wilson and Chief A. d. Melvin
of Washington before the inspection under
the new regulations will be established"

These have not as yet been assigned. The
doctor thought that by the time the officials
from Washington should arrive Armour &

will have all necessary improvements COM

BY way of comparison of these plants

other points even to Los Angeles, very
through a casual visit of Manager Hick-
man of the Cudahy Packing company at
Los Angeles. He is taking his summer
vacation and during this recreation has
visited Kansas City. Chicago and other
points. He said: Judging from what l
have seen since l left Los Angeles, I am
satisfied that Omaha has as clean and
satisfactory packing establishments any
in the United States. remember Of times
and instances which have come under my
observations, when some packing houses
permitted things which were not exactly
right; and it is a good thing, or will be
in the end, that the government has in
sisted on the clean up" He spoks with
special favor of the night inspectors and
the assistance they would be able to give
to the regular watchmen. Mr.. Aver then
showed him a copy Of the daily reports
from the night inspectors, and told of the
| success of the innovation here. The night
men have a peculiar advantage over the
day men in some directions This is es-
! pecially true Of the sanitary conditions.
/ They have a chance to know whether the
plants are cleaned thoroughly and at the
| proper times.

| cism from the heads of the departments

jubilee meeting last night in Fitzsimmon's

the prospect of seeing the work of paving
begin on the avenue this morning. The
meeting was called on short notice, after
a consultation. The mayor has been time
and again to Mr.. Murphy and the cause
Of the delay has at length been removed.
Mr. Murphy stated yesterday morning that
II he could be assured by the property
owners on the avenue OF hearty support,
and that there would be no further at
tempts to delay the work by legal means,
he would have his outfits at work this
morning and rush the contract to a speedy
completion. This the Missouri avenue
men were glad to promise and about thirty
five of them met last night, with whom
the mayor was present, and politically
agreed to stand by the work to the best
of their ability. After the meeting Mayor

BIRDS CAUGHT BY SPIDERS.

A curious spider lives in the Ceylon
mountains. 1t spins web of bright
yellow silk, the center net measures
five feet in diameter, and the lines that
support it Called guys) measure ten
or twelve feet.
This spider rarely bites or stings,
but will do so very severely If any one
makes him angry, and although not
poisonous, his jaws are as strong as
birds beak.
His body is very pretty, bright gold
and scarlet underneath, the upper part
being of a delicate slate colored fur.
The webs are so we'll made that birds
the size Of larks are often caught, and
even lizards have been known to fall
victims. This is surprising, for they
are so strong that one would think
they could escape from the spider.
These poor creatures are caught in
very clever way: The spider first
winds the threads firmly round the
head of its victim until the prisoner is
| blinded and finally choked.
| In many dark crevices skeletons OF
birds can be found that have unfortu-
nately fallen into these cruel snares.

In Australia is kind of bear called

One would hardly think of stupid

with their sharp little claws to her

with as many as four young ones
clinging to her. Bats rest by hanging
head downward from a tree twig, and
even here the children hold fast to the
mothers breast and hang their tiny
heads downward along with hers.
But for making funny family show

In Europe is little creature called the
nurse frog" The nurse frogs eggs
are laid in long strings or chains. The
male winds these chains about his hind
legs and sits with them in some shady
place all day. When the dew is on
the grass at evening the nurse frog
comes out with his leg loads Of eggs
and rubs them over the dew to moisten
them, just as a person would moisten
hens eggs Matching in an incubator.

frog fathers Is ore found in South
America. This frog has a small pouch
in HIS throat. If one did not know
better he might think this pouch was
a musical organ, for. when filled with
air it gives cut sound like the tinkle
of a little belk But in the springtime
1t is found that the pouch serves a
purpose quite different from just MAX
ing music. When the female of this
species of frog lays her eggs the male
gathers them carefully up and thrusts
them into his throat pocket, there to
carry them till they hatch.
The eggs soon begin TO increase in
