Omaha has an enviable reputation through
out tho middle west. ...s
The field over which the local firms work
Is not a particularly large one, for there
are older houses in nearby cities which
compete with them for the work OF the
section. Most OF the work OF Nebraska and
western Iowa goes to the local concerns
however and each year they are extending
their territory bit Each OF the firms has
It's own process for making the cuts. which
differ considerably AZ some points, The
Bramblett people feature their "aoid blasts
process Of engraving.
The amount OF business done by the local
concerns will reach well toward The 100000
mark for . year, the local houses reportinR
an increase of from 20 to 80 per cent In
this years business to date.
And yet the engraving men OF Omaha teea
that they are given Just little less than
a square deal by Omaha citizens They
bewail the fact that the average citizen Is
these days demanding a high rata OF speed
and az the same time is apt to be cutie
offended IL quality Is not Forthcoming along
with it. In many cases they allow but 4
bare margin over the shortest space oe
time In which the engraving could be COM
pieted and when IL Is understood that each
cut must go through the hands Of thirteen
or more different GLASSES of worlunen, IL
viii be realized that this is often too small
margin to allow the engraver to give
the best possible class OF work.

In delivering their poduct local concerns
are under the expense of many long hauls
ct points in the country a considerable
distance from railroads. Yet, consumers
continue to show favor to Omaha dealers
rather than smaller ones in the towns near
them.
Flowers for all occasions n the motto of
twenty enterprising florist establishments
in the city. Fifteen of these concerns main
tain their own greenhouses and produce
vast quantities OF roses, carnations, violets.
palms and every other variety OF flowers.
The dealers declare their business IL in
creasing by great leaps and bounds and
that unlike other industries 1t does not
have to be exploited nor promoted Ne
braskans are becoming great lovers OF
flowers and sticklers for the fragrant bulbs
at their ceremonial occasions.
Though the dealers are able to produce
almost entirely the supply OF flowers they
need, frequent orders are sent from Omaha
for shipments Of orchids and lilies from
the Bermuda islands and Japan. These
are almost the only varieties of flowers
that must be obtained from foreign
source. 1t is said the demand for orchids
exceeds the supply.
Local florists have come Into note
throughout the state for the size and SPLEEN
dor OF their displays Of flowers.
1t is explained that by reason OF the
great volume OF business done by Omaha
flower merchants, the latter are enabled
to Keep permanent supply of all the floral
varieties on hand. This has become so

WEST LAWN CEMETERY PRETTY

Omaha is we'll provided with cemeteries
the most recent addition being West Lawn
cemetery, which is on Lincoln avenue,
directly south of Dundee and about three
and one-half miles from the city hall. 1t
has a beautiful frontage Of nearly half a
mile along Lincoln avenue or Center street.
The fact that cemeteries lying within the
city limits are forbidden by law from en-

at the same time be so located as TO be be-

An important phase Of omahas CONNER

local engraving concerns are making. So
rapid has this development been that where
ten years ago It was necessary to send to
the larger cities OF the country for many
things In the engraving line suoh as first
class half tones, elmo etchings and COLOR
plates, these today are easily proourabie
in Omaha .
And 1t is not alone the mechanical side
OF the business which has advanced. II
naturally falls TO the lot Of the engraver
to do a great deal of the art work from
which the cuts are made and In this side
of the work Omaha has also advanced rap
idly. Today photo retouehing. wash and
line drawings and designs Of all sorts from
the brushes and pens OF Omaha artists are
among the best in the country.
There are two engraving companies in
the Omaha field, the Baker Bros. Ensrav-
ing company and w. r. Bramblett & Co.
The Baker firm, which is the eldest hero,
occupies the top floor of the Barker block,
The Bramblett company IL but five years
OLD IN Omaha, having been moved here at
that time from St Pau and Minneapolis,
where the firm had been located for nine
teen years. 1t IL located at 1914 Howard
street. --. .-....
These two firms stand ready to design
and manufacture most any sort of cut
that will make an impression upon paper.
A large part OF the work Of the local COM
panies, however, is the reproduction Of
drawings and photographs of machinery
and the artists connected with the Omaha
engraving houses oft times fashion the copy

TAI|CAb CUTS DIFF
 MANS RIGHT EAR
The Chauffeur Touched the Wrong Lever and the Car Shot Into the Saturday Night Crowd on
 Washington Street.

While Frank RObart, driving the taxicab of the Club stables, was at tempting last night to turn from Washington street into First street his foot struck the high speed instead of the brake, the machine shot forward into the Saturday night crowd, knocked two men down, ran complete ly over one of them and cut off his right ear.
 Robart was driving west on Wash ington with the high speed on. Riding parallel with him on a bicycle was R- A Bernal. At the Goldberg corner the taXicab suddenly veered to the north and shot up First street. Bernal was forced to jump from his wheel to save himelf Two men, an Indian and a Mexican, were in the crowd crossing First street. The ear struck both of them. The Indian was thrown fifteen feet and lay on the ground. The car knocked the Mexican down and both wheels passed over his body.
 Robart at once stopped the car and picked uo the Mexican, Jesus Guerrero placed him in the car and drove at high speed to the office of pr. R. M. Tafel.

A few days ago Mrs RawsOn reported to Officer Peterson that the boy going under the name of Willie Rawson, twelve years of age, had left home and she was of the opinion that he should be sent to the reform school
 It is the opinion of the marshal that the name of the boy may be Snyder and that he is of the opinion that he IS from Louisiana the same as he told Officer Moore, the only difference be- ing that his more recent pOstoffice ad- dress in Mesa and his more recent name is RawsOn instead of Snyder
 It is supposed that the lad will be brought to this place and then if the foster parents insist that the boy be sent to the reform school the proper complaint will be made.

RUNAWAY BOY
 IN POLICE STATION "I Don't Want to Go Home," He Sobbed, and He Didn't Want to Stay in the Polise Station.
 Either.

In the woman's cell of the police sta ton last night was very sad little boy about 10 years old who ran away from the only home he had and came to Phoenix to make 9 living all by himself
 Willie Rawson, as he is known in Mesa, ran away from the Rawson home several weeks ago. His real home is in Louisiana but his father died and then his mother gave him away" as he expressed it. He was sent to Mesa three years ago and be- came a member of the Rawsol family. Since then they took him back to Louisiana once. The boys right name is William Reichel
 Willie did not like his bed in the po- lice station. He had slept there once before-a few days ago when an off cer found him fast asleep in an ice wagon and took him to the station where he had at least a blanket under him. The boy said it was lonesome down in that bare room with the heavy iron bars in front of the door. Why do they keep me here?" he asked with tears running down his face, T haven't done anything"
 Willie hasn't done anything--except run away. Marshal Peterson of Mesa sent word over to hold the boy if he was found and identified by two scars on his head. He is bright, good look ing boy, probably full of mischief like most boys of his age, but wholly lack ing in any signs of viciousness.
 T want to go to the Airdome," Willie said last night Wont you please ask the chief to let me out? I'll come back again.
 When the boy was asked whey he left home he said. They did rot treat me right" Then tears came in his eyes and he sobbed, If they had been decent to me I would have stayed"
 They made me work out but would not give me any clothes or any money. I thought I would make my own living, but the people won't even let me do that. I would start busi- ness of my own if the police would let

 Wouldn't you like to go back home?' he was asked.
 You mean to Mesa?"

Santiago MazO. a student at the Indian school, was not so seriously hurt and was taken to the police station.
 The wheels had passed over Guer- rerO's body below the chest and al though he was bleeding profusely and seemed to be in a bad way, it was found that there were no bones brok- en. His ear was so badly torn that most of it was amputated. He was then taken to the Sisters hospital. Robart, anxious to do all he could to help the man, gave him money and his expenses at the hospital will be paid. Guerrero is out of work. He came here three days ago from Kel- win
 Mazo soon recovered from the blow he received and was able to walk out of the station unassisted.
 The taXicab carries what is known as the planetary" transmission. There are three foot levers, the high speed being in the center and the low at the right and a brake on the left. To change from high to low it is neces- sary to release the high and then press on the low. RObart did this as he came to the turn. Then to slow up still more he reached his foot for the brake and instead struck the high again The car of course shot forward and the man was run over before Robart could throw on the brake which is worked by hand.

him to pay the expected tips at the
New York restaurants. The magis

waiter and his wife. Incidentally he
asked what pay the waiter received
and he was told $29 a month. And
how much in tips?" inquired the magis-
trate. The waiter hesitated and final
ly confessed to SIS or $40 month.

There appears to be no definite rec
ord explaining the prevailing custom
of turning our vehicles to the right
in this country. One authority says
that 1t grew out of the fact that in our
early colonial days, before the arrival
of rigs for pleasure driving. the
drivers of heavy vehicles used in
transportation fell into the way of
turning to the right.
The English custom of turning to
the left is an ancient one. 1t obtains
in practically all of the British prov
inces. A grizzled driver in Bermuda,
asked once why all drivers turned to
the left, explained that 1t was done so
they could see just how much room
they had.
