AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA

Omaha Packing House.
REMOVES TO HAMMOND PLANT TUESDAY

Passes Resolutions Demanding
Police Board Elected ~
the PeOple.


Killing operations have ceased on the
beef beds Of the old Omaha Packing COM
pany's plant. There were no cattle
slaughtered at all Saturday and none will
he killed until Tuesday. The reason is that
the company is now moving to It's new
quarters in the remodelled Hammond prop
erty. They will be ready for killing cattle
there by September IS. II was expected
that the slaughter OF sheep might also
begin then, but this will have to be con-
tnued at the old place for a week or no
longer. The hogs will be killed in the old
place for some time yet. The moving Of
the cattle killing gang Will give much
more room at the old quarters and will
also relieve the strain on the machinery
and so increase the rapldity OF the pro-
cesses there. The new plant naturally rep
resents all that is modern in machinery
and method The cooling floors especially
have what is popularity called the curtain
system" that is, the brine from the watts
which are cooled by the circulation Of
ammonia gas instead OF being conducted
through the cooling rooms by pipes. is al
lowed to trickie down over the curtains OF

absorption of heat II IL claimed The brine
is collected at the foot OF the curtains
and pumped back for use again. when IL
Is again cooled as before. The electrical
apparatus represents the most perfect types
of machinery. Between the two main build
ings a change room and lavatory has been
prepared for the men. Though not yet
complete 1t will be fully UP TO the most
rigid requirements.

Burglars Leave No Trail
A burglary was committed at an early
hour Friday morning at the home of Larry
Curran, 2S0G r street. The house was en-
| tered some time after midnight. for the
! family did not return until after that hour.
Mr.. Curran, his grown son and daughter
| each lost some cash. The total of the
| money taken was about SIS. which was
mostly in small change. Besides the money
bunch of keys fitting the Burlington tool
/ house and switches was taken from the
son. They also took his tobacco. which
was the occasion OF quite as much wrath
as the other valuables. No one heard the
| burglars, who opened the back window,
taking off the screen. A table was even
pushed out of the way so that they might
get to the window and escape. II neces-
sary. The young women Of the house said
they had determined to keep the matter
secret. but thought It might be best to let
the police know of 1t. Little could be
learned which would lead to the apprehen-
sion OF the burglars No one saw, them,
they took no article by which they might
be Identified and the rain washed out their
tracks.
