PERMIT TO LET TOTS PLAY BALL PLAYER DIES OF HEAT
Is Issued by Mayor Allow
ing Children to Ride Wagon
Down street.

The next time the neighbors try to stop
julius Taylor from c~oasting down Nicholas
street, from Fortieth. julius will flash on
them a permit to coast signed by Mayor
Dahlman.
julius Taylor, a little negro boy II years
of age, and his 6-year-old sister, Helen,
called on the mayor Thursday morning and
presented their petition to be allowed to
ride in their little express wagon by our
house on Nicholas street" They told their
story to the mayor and explained the
''crankiness' OF a neighbor, who didn't
want little boys and girls to have a good
time" and so impressed Mr.. Dahlman with
their straightforward story that he gave
them permission to ride in their wagon.
Il do not know as / ever before gave a
permit for a little boy or his baby sister
to play, but you take this permit and the
next time someone tries to stop you from
having a good time all by yourself and not
~injuring anybody else, you show it to that
person and, / guess, they will let you
alone said the mayor.
The children's mother is an invalid, and
for this reason julius and Helen trudged
up to see the mayor alone.

NOT THE MAIL POUCH RoBBER
Charles Savage, Arrested in Omaha, IL
Released After Proving His
Innocence.

1t began to look for awhile Thursday
morning as II the police authorities had
made an important capture in the person of
a colored man closely answering the de-
scription Of Charles Savage the Kansas
City mail sack robber. The arrest was
made at Union station and the suspected
party was taken to the police station for
further investigation.
A tip was given the Omaha police that a
fellow strongly resembling Savage might
put in an appearance at Omaha and the
police have been on the alert ever since
the Kansas City robbery of several weeks
ago, when a registered mail pouch con-
tanning, it is said, nearly $4,000 was stolen
from the mail car within the limits of that
city. The pouch was subsequently recov-
cred in the railroad yards where it had
been thrown by the robber after havin
been rifled Of most of it's valuable contents.
The robbery had been distinctly traced to
the coiored man Savage and an accurate
description Of him was furnished the United
States postoffice inspectors and police
throughout the country.
The arrest OF the suspect in Omaha
Thursday morning was based on these de-
scriptions Of the man.. but after closer scru-
tiny 1t was found that he was not the man
wanted and he was released.

TECUMSEH, Neb., July 16.-(Special.)-
Sheriff H. U. Miner arrested DR." Wesley
King and J. A. Cook, a laundryman, last
evening on the charge of intoxication. The
men had been to Sterling and were carry
ing grips and a grain sack. In these grips
and sack the officers found seventeen
quart bottles Of beer, two and a half gal
Ions Of whisky and two quart bottles OF
alcohol. The men were taken into the JUS
tice court of Judge J. A Lawrence this
morning. where they both pleaded guilty to
the charge of intoxication, evidently ex-
pecting to get off with the usual small
fine. The Judge fined them so each and
costs and they went to Jail. King is able
to pay. but refused. while Cook probably
could not pay. Cook is an old soldier. 1t
is said the men will have to face bootleg
cling charges when they are released for
the present offense. A warrant has been
issued for Herman ~Steinkuhler. the Sterling
saloon keeper who sold the men the goods,
charging him with selling two quart bot.
ties of alcohol which were not labeled, and
which is contrary to the new pure food
law. S%teinkuhler will probably be brought
to this city and given a hearing in the
morning.

New Home of the lien Biscuit Factory i'm Omaha

Within a few weeks Omaha's first
independent cracker and biscuit fac
tory will begin the manufacture Of a
line Of high grade products in a large
%remodeled and ideal building at
Twelfth and Jones streets. 1t will be
a daylight" factory in every sense
Of the word, from its financial organ
ization to its oven floor. The pro-
prietors will be ready at any time to
prove hat it is a strictly independent
concern, not controlled by any other
company or corporation, and they will
be willing at any time to show anyone
the absolute cleanliness of the fac
tory and purity of their products, by
keeping open house that the public
may inspect the plant.
The first to give Omaha a strictly
independent cracker and biscuit fac
tory was ]. j. Item and o. H. Barnet
tier of Clinton. Iowa, who organized
recently the "Iten Biscuit Company"
with a capital stock of $4,000, all
of which is held in Omaha.
Mr.. Item is a member of the firm Of
L.. Item & Sons OF Clinton, independent
cracker bakers, who have built up. a
reputation for high class and honest
goods along the Mississippi river.
which is only limited because the fac
tory, though enlarged many times, has
never been able to produce all the
goods which the company could sell.
Mr.. Items father was the founder Of
the business. The sturdy old cracker
baker not only left his SOM an estab-
lished business, but left them person
ally equipped to operate the plant just
as we'll as he operated it. II had to
start cleaning pans" a Mr.. ]. j.
Item, and this Is taken to mean that
he vas at the very bottom once. No
office" job for the Item sons, no po-
sition where they could wear tailored
clothes and dictate correspondence.
They got into white duck suits and
worked in the mixing rooms, around
the ovens and in the packing depart
ment, where they learned the business
thoroughly.
Mr.. Item is to move his family to
Omaha from Clinton. Mr.. Barmettler
has already removed to Omaha. The
work at Clinton goes n the factory
there turning out the same grade of
goods which are to be made In Omaha.
The Omaha factory will be the most
modern plant of the two because some
improvements have been made in
cracker making machinery since the
last machines were installed in the
Clinton factory.

OBSTACLE TO CARTER PARK
Davis and Kountze Will Fight for
Their Value of Land.
BOTH ENGAGE LAWYERS NOW
Opposition on the Part of These
Owners of Lake Front Land is
Not Unexpected by the
Park Board.

Before the din OF applause OF Mrs. Salina
C. Carter's benefaction dies down, an OBJ
stacle to the park boards creating the
beautiful resort by means Of the $4,000
she gave the city, arises In the Thomas
Davis Realty company and the .Kountze
estate, which own property bordering on
Cutoff lake and included in the area de-
signed for purchase with the Carter dona-
ton. Most of this property is In the lake.
This opposition was not unexpected by
the park board, though the hope was ex-
pressed tina Mrs. Carter's philanthropy
would inspire a spirit of general magma
nimity that would facilitate the carrying
out of the plans looking to the establish
ment for the city at the lake side of a
handsome pleasure ground and resort,
Attorneys rave been retained by the
realty company and also by the Kountze
estate to resist any steps which the park
board may take to secure narrow strips of
their property along the shore for park
purpose at any appraised valuation which
does not take into consideration the value
of the land to which the present owners
have title and which is now lin the lake"
Tract of Forty Acres.
Tn Thomas-Davls Realty company owns
a tract Of forty acres along the northwest
shore If the lake. Some twelve or perhaps
fifteen acres of the tract is land and the
remaining thirty-five to thirty-seveD acres
IN water. The land is in a triangular
shaped tract, and, according TO the owners.
the Park board wants to buy eight or ten
acres along the shore. cutting off five or
six acres which will have no water front.
The owners believe the Park board will
want TO pay 500 to $50 per acre or per-
haps $1,000 for the strip along the shore
and will then institute proceedings 10 get
possession Of the water. Thus, they claim,
the entire tract with the exception of the
five or six acres cut off, will pass into
the hands of the Park board for something
like $1,000 to 81 500. The owners affirm the
forty acres to be worth from $1,000 Il
$4,000. 1t is, at present, leased 10 Swift
and Company for ice privileges.
The Kountze estate also has retained
special attorneys to oppose the Park board
securing a long strip along the shore Of a
tract similar but larger than the Thomas
Davis tract and which is leased to several
ice companies.

goodness, the first thing the Item Bis
cult Company did was to get next. All
the ovens and all the machinery will
be white enameled. Then a speck of
dirt will show and some one will have
to clean it up as Dor as it is found.
With the ovens installed the new
factory will consume 100 barrels of
flour daily, converting the great
amount into the "Iten Biscuit" put up
in scent packages, and the Fairy

cults and cakes.
To handle this business one hundred
people will be employed. Only a few
expert cracker bakers will be brought
from Clinton to Omaha to head the
new force of the Item enterprise. All
others will be employed here, the ar
bitrary closing down of a trust" fac
tory throwing over one hundred people

from those who want work, and there
is no better opportunity to grow up
with a business" than to enter the en-
ploy Of the Item Biscuit Company and
begin ''scraping pans"
While the building which the Item
Biscuit Company bought at Twelfth
and Jones streets is being remodeled
and converted into a modern biscuit
factory, the trade has been supplied
from the Clinton factory and already
hundreds Of dealers are handling the
Item lines because of their superior
quality. Quality has always sold the
Item goods. Whether it Is a private
family or a hotel, the retailer or the
%jobbers, who try the line, they have
always become friends of the Item pro-
duct. There's a difference between
the biscuits which Mr.. Item and his as
sociates make and those of other COM
panies. Just what makes it is the
secret of the success, but 1t makes
quality whatever it is. The biscuits
are crisper and seem to stay crisp;
they are richer and seem to taste more
like all crackers were intended to
taste; they are baked just right and
carefully sorted. There are no bit

ter" ones, made too brown by imper-
feet ovens or inexperienced bakers.
Every cracker is just as good as the
last one and every package the same
as the flour, care and other ingredi-
ents are all the same.
When the Item interests realized
that their trade was growing out of all
proportions to the Clinton factory,
they recognized Omaha as the logical
point to handle the western" trade
and decided early in the year to locate
a factory in Omaha. They never ex-
pected to be able to handle the bust
ness by opening a sales agency or a
branch. 1t was a matter of doubling
the factory capacity as we'll as having
goods nearer the consumer and the
machinery for the Omaha factory was
ordered in February Of this year, al
most sixty days before the
ment was made or the building bought.
To enable the dealers to get &C
quainted with the line, the company
has been jobbing the entire line of the
Clinton factory, but next month the
same goods will be made in Omaha,
which Items are making THE Cracker

GAS BELOW THE LEGAL TEST
For Forty Days andnr Set by Ordi-
nance Has Not Been
Reached.

I'VE will have a good illuminant in
Omaha or know the reason why. The or
dlnances of the city are to be enforced,
not winked at. II any Of our ordinances
will not hold water we will pass others
that will. The gas ordinance is no more
stringent than in other cities and the gas
company must abide by its provisions"
In this way, NJ. F. ~Funkhouser. chair
man of the lighting committee Of the coun-
ell, expresses his views on the low quality
of gas furnished the last month and takes
occasion to say that the company will be
forced to live up to the city ordinance and
furnish gas that tests 600 British thermal
units. Mr.. F~upkhouser says he will take
the gas proposition before the committee
of the whole next Monday afternoon and
endeavor to pass a resolution directing the
city attorney to take the necessary legal
steps to make the gas company abide by
the ordinance.
City gas has been below grade for forty
days. This is shown by the records in the
office of the gas commissioner where tests
are made every morning. Each morning
the gas company has been notified that its
product was not up to grade, but for the
last month it has paid no attention to the
demands of the city gas commissioner and
has persisted in furnishing low grade gas.
The ordinance providing that gas shall
test GOO British thermal units has been
in force since December, 1906, and up to
the fore part of last June the gas company
lived up to it's provisions with the ex-
ception of minor lapses of a day or two
at a time. Failure to keep gas up to test
is punishable by a fine of 800 or imprison-
ment for thirty days. The penalty provided
by the ordinance has rever been imposed.
