HANSoN'S NEW CAFE SURPRISE
Enormous Expenditure of Money Has
Given Another BeRu-
ttful Place te Dine.

After months of seeming useless delay
Tolf Hanson, owner Of the Calumet restau-
rant on Douglas street, has opened his new
cafe on South Sixteenth street. To those
who nave already visited the place, wonder
at the long time required for completion
has turned to marvel at the superb APP
p%ointments to be seen on every hand.
with a most beautiful terra Gotta building
front and an interior arrangement that
for beauty and rr~actIcabiilty can be most
favorably compared with any cafe in the
country, Mr.. Hanson has gone even farther
with his bill Of fare.
Music may be furnished twenty-four
hours a day by means OF a 5000 player
orchestral; the silver and china may be
the finest that money can buy: carpets,
chairs, tables, etc, ~unequaled, but with all
this the enterprise would be q failure
but for tile proper bill of fare Mr.. Hanson
knows this and those who know him appre-
ciate his knowledge of the cafe business
and are aware that 1t is simply his un-
usual knowledge and study Of the business
from the Kitchen end hat has made his
remarkable success. Consistent with quail
ity and service the prices are remarkably
reasonable.
At a very high salary the chef comes
after seven years in the employ Of Rectors.
All others in the kitchen have much ex-
p~erience and each is especially fitted for
his special work. White walters are en-
ployed.
Although open for business parts OF the
building still remain unfinished and the
formal opening will not take place until
some near future date, when all will be
completely finished.

FOREST LAWN IMPROVEMENTS
Work Done This Year Approved and
Much Contemplated for Next
Season.

The expenditure of $4,000 in the improv-
ing of Forest Lawn cemetery and the i'm
provements made were approved by the
Board Of Directors of the cemetery which
visited the burial ground Friday afternoon.
The members of the board went to the
cemetery In automobiles and were shown
over the grounds by Superintendent James
Y. Craig. Particular attention was given
the macadam paving done this year and
the board came to the conclusion that the
paving Is the best in the state.
Twenty-Five thousand yards of macadam
was laid this year at a cost Of $1,000. The
macadam is nine inches thick, while 1t is
usually laid six inches thick, and for this
reason the directors believe they have built
about the best driveway in the west which
will last many years. Sewers have been
laid under all paved driveways and the
driveways have ali been curbed on both
sides. The sewers cost $4,000 while the
curbing cost 5000. 1t is the intention next

ceremonies. The state of Pennsylvania ap-
propriated this sum for the monument.
The ceremonies Of the unwilling will be-
gin at II a. m.

General Whit entered the army as a pri-
vate soldier of the Sixth Pennsylvania

successive grades to that OF brigadier gen
eral, winning every step Of his way by
his valor. He participated in the Spanish

ment until the transfer to the responsible
post OF the mobilization of the American
army at Norfolk, Va, in 1896 for transfer
to Cuba as the. American army Of Cuban
qualification, of which he was the first
commander. His health began failing him
while in Cuba, a result Of wounds received
during the civil wal and subsequent ex-
posures in the service. He was succeeded
In command OF the American army in Cuba
by Major General Franklin Bell and re-
turned to Philadelphia for rest and recu-
peration. He died suddenly In that city

Oracle Coming of Priest to

Comes.

Soon a priest will cali on you. He will
be a worthy man. Don't refuse him any
thing he asks, but give and 1t sha be
given to you"
Fishing a tea leaf out Of a china cup,
a young woman visiting at the home of
]. M. Guild, commissioner of the CONNER
cfal club, read the tea lear and told the
commissioner this more than ten days ago..
Twice since that day a number Of tea.
leaves were read by the guest at Mr..
Guilds home and Friday evening the young
woman again read a leaf:
'The priest is coming. Saturday, 1 think
Give him what he wants"
The commissioner OF the club was at his
desk early Saturday morning. He tapped
nervously on his desk with a pencil a la
Mansfield and looked around every time
the door opened. "A priest is coming to
see me-" unused Mr.. Guild. What have 1
been doing or what have l failed to do?
Is it a sin of commission or omission
which l a committed? Anyway, l know
a priest is coming to see m~e-about what
1 know not, but there is a man coming
with a crucifix and a rosary"
The tea leaf had said so and Mr.. Guild
knew a tea leaf could not lie, even about
the weather or a wedding, and he expected
the priestly visitor every moment
Just as the commissioner was about to
leave his office his secretary handed him
a card. 1t read; Rev. QasbA Yukhanan.'
The tea leaf was indicated.
The Asyrian priest told his story and Of
the needs of his church at Ashita, in
Tyrri.
The advice Of the tea leaf reader came
to Mr.. Guild-"Don't refuse him"-and the
commissioner obeyed.
II will take home an extra pound of
tea this evening"" said Mr.. Guild. There
are a lot OF things l want to know. From

At the ~Cameraphone.

The bill at the Cameraphone theater, be-
ginning Sunday, is a very attractive one.
The Auto quartet and the Glow Worm
are features in the talking pictures. A
beautiful illustrated song and three inter
esting silent pictures make up the program.
The management Of this elegant new
moving picture theater is giving its patrons
the finest and most exclusive pictures to
be had. Their Cameraphone talking pic
lures are shown only in theaters under the
Cameraphone management They are the
most weirdly ingenious pictures. Just to
think, the most famous actors, actresses
and singers are brought before you on the
screen and are made to walk about on a
stage singing, dancing and talking in
perfect unison with their actions, for all
the world as If they were real persons
and not mere shadows OF silver bromide
projected from tiny pictures and magni-
fled ever so many hundreds of times.
The management promises its patrons
a rare treat at an early date in their COM
plete production Of THE Mikado,' "Quo
Vadis," "Pinafore' and Chimes of Nor
mandie.'
The program changes every Wednesday
and Sunday.

Look Under 1t

Did you ever turn over a big flat ton
nd watch the pale bugs and worms with
l fringe of legs down each side, scurry
% hide from the sunlight?
How these little wrigglers hate the man
who exposes them.
DO you ever feel an antipathy towards
these squirmers that remind you of the
llckspittle prostitution of some politicians.
A little further along we will lift a
stone and give the people a square look
before the crawlers can stink out OF the
sunlight.
You will perhaps remember the one big
question before the two National conven-
tions to nominate Presidential candidates
was the anti-injunction question. 1t vi
tally affects the liberties of the common
people VS.. the Labor Trust.
At the Republican Convention the ma
chine managers after a trade with the
managers of the Labor Trust presented
a plank calling for anti-inJunction legis-
latiOn.

Patriotic Union Men

Don't think this is approved by all
Union men. Thousands of them are citi-
zens of the best quality, but they are In
bad ompany and are most arbitrarily
ruled by the managers in power. These
p%eaceable members look forward to the
time when the boycott, strike, picketing,
fighting, spelling machinery, cutting har-
ness, stopping funerals, blowing up work
men and homes, hate of the most intense
kind, smuggling and murder will stop and
the present managers who lie about their
peaceful intentions while winking at
and supporting the crimes will be replaced
by honest leaders who will conduct the
affairs OF honest w~orkingmen in an hon
est and lawful manner not ~prejudicial to
the rights Of the common people. When
labor contracts will be made like other
contracts without coercion, threats or
violence, when a builder can safely agree
upon a price of brick, lumber, glass, iron
and labor in his building, and the manu-
facturer can safely agree to sell his ma
chimes or other products in this or for
eign countries based upon a certain and
given cost for material and labor, with
out hanger of ruin by violence and de-
struction of his plant, and when IN
tiles Of citizens can depend upon the
steady running OF the industrial estab-
lishments upon which such communities
depend for daily living. Then and only
then, will this tabor warfare" cease n
the tremendous cost and harm TO the COM
mon man be done away with. Until that
time it is manifestly the interest Of
every man not an interested participation
in the profits of the Labor Trust land the
common citizens out-number the others
40 to - to work and vote against every
move of the Labor Trust TO gain more
power over the citizens. That allowed,
liberty OF the common people will dis
appear. 1t is time for the citizen to
protect himself at the polls. He can only
do 30 by putting down every class either
of capital or labor seeking control of the
affairs OF the public.
Communities must retain control of
their own affairs free from the dictates
OF any class organization.
In this campaign the Combination Dem
ocratic Labor Trust party promise special
privilege and immunity from law to the
Labor Trust members when they try to
ride over the citizens; the Republican
platform promises the upholding Of the
Peoples Courts and protection for all the
people. l am neither Democrat nor Re
publican but only speak a word for the

PRIZE CORN BRINGS BIC CROP

Bushels Per Acre This Year.

Corn show Managers figure Potta-
w~attamie, Iowa County, Dropped
n BiE Bunch by Not Plant
ina Better Corn.

Corn growers OF Pottawattamie county,
Iowa. would have had 100000 more for
Christmas spending money had they
planted prize corn seed as did ]. L. Bran
des. state representative OF that county,
who reported to the management OF the
National Corn exposition Saturday the re-
suits OF planting some prize seed.
Mr.. Brandes bought a ten ear sample Of
prize corn at the Avoca short course a
year ago, paying SIS for the ten ears. Then
he went to the field where the prize ears
were grown and selected about eight BUSH
els Of corn which furnished sufficient seed
to plant almost sixty acres of corn.
We have just made an estimate Of the
yield from this prize seed corn" said the
Pottawattamie county representative. 1T
produced just about ten bushels more corn
to the acre than did the commonly good
seed which we planted in the. same kind OF
soil. We grew 10s acres Of corn and had
we planted II all with the prize seed, I am
suro we would harvest 1850 bushels more
than we will"
Mr.. Brandes and the exposition manage
ment figured that as the rich county across
the river plants 200, 900 acres OF corn each
year. had all the farmers planted prize seed
the county would have produced 100000
aAlt W. " bbAh AlaA ~ lAhe ~ hhNt
this year, on the average Of ten bushels
to the acre which can be shown to be the
increase secured by Mr.. Brandes.
Million More 20 spend.
This would mean 100000 more for the
farmers to spend in Council Bluffs, oak
land, Avoca. Underwood, Minden, Carson.
Hancock or Notwithstanding like $780,
900 or 100000 In a town.
AS the prize winning corn at the National
Corn. exposition will be sold at auction
after the exposition, the experts In charge
and such practical corn growers as Mr..
Brandes say the influence OF the distribu-
tion OF the really prize corn will exert an
influence on the yield in the entire corn
belt of the United States. which will amount
to the production of millions OF bushels
more of corn on the farms.
The contract for fitting up the gallery OF
the Auditorium for the ear corn exhibit has
been let to Lee McGreer and on shelving
twelve inches wide the aggregate length
will be three and a half miles. This means
a string OF prize corn, when the ears are
placed side by side and close together,
three and a half miles long, all of which
will be sold for seed.
Miss Reid, daughter of James L. Reid,
the veteran corn breeder and expert who
developed the famous Reds Yellow Dent
corn, has been elected superintendent of the
woman's corn exhibit department at the
National Corn exposition. Miss Reid is an
expert corn judge, holding a hlgh-class
judges certificate from the University OF
Illinois, and the exposition board feels glad
to secure a woman so thoroughly competent
as Miss Reid to take charge of the depart
ment.
