Man Bird Peeks at
Helpless Drunkard
John Doe Sleeps Off Jag Near Avia-
ton Field and Suffers
Wild Fright.

Bird men flying through the air are not
good for the alcoholic imagination.
An unknown wanderer, evidently headed
toward Omaha, got as far as a road house
on West Center street Monday morning
He imbibed frequently at the road house
until he was thrown out Of there, and I'M
able to proceed further In q straight line
he lay down 10 rest in the grass near
Ruser's park. Just over the hill to the
north is the Speedway. In the afternoon
when the sun got around to where he lay
he stirred himself and looked up into the
blue sky.
Soaring calmly above him, frisking among
the clouds and evidently enjoying his
empyrean travel was a huge bird To the
wanderers Imagination il was tremendous.
He stirred himself and rushed madly back
to the road house
I'm a gone chicken he yelled, there's
a hawk out there as big as a house.
Jaw, yer drunk yet" said the road house
man and pitched him back out OF doors.
The poor wanderer skulked along the road
way to the west watching the sky fur
lively. The bird made just one more swoop
at him, but he escaped, but he was driven
still more frantic by the whirr of the
creatures wings and the appalling sight
of a man astride of its back. Toward even
ing he fell exhausted in q corner OF the
road. Next morning the sheriffs office
was notified and Tuesday noon Deputy
Sheriff Ira Flanagan went out in a motor
car and brought him to the county Jail
where he was booked As John Doe, plain
drunk"

Ed Maurer is Taken
by Game Wardens
Manager Clark of the Willard Pays
Fine of Two Hundred Dollars for
Keeping Game.

Mine host. Ed Maurer, who is conscien-
tious 70 painful degree in serving with
culinary satisfactions his friends and Gus
TONER'S has sworn off on one kind Of gen
crosby The next man who comes into
his restaurant and asks for wild duck will
get a refrigerating stare. No more Wild
ducks are to be bought in that shop.
Several days ago two innocent and mild
hammered men ambled into the Maurer
cafe and looked with open scorn upon the
daintios listed on the bill Of fare. They
called the head waiter.
I'VE want something wild, something that
has a smack Of the fresh water or the
woods. We pine for savage food
The head waiter opined that a brace OF
ducks might be the proper thing, and the
two men looked first at each other with
a knowing expression and then called for
the brace Of ducks. When they had fin
ished the ducks, cleaning up the plate to
the last tender bit and acting as If they
enjoyed It they called over mine host I'D
Maurer and had him pinched.
InEratitude is only one OF the words
which mine host used. but since the men
were Henry Miller. state game warden,
and one of his deputies and since selling
or serving wild ducks is a violation of the
state game laws, nothing could be done
Mr.. Maurer protested innocence, however,
and will be given a trial before Justice OF
the Peace Cockrell within few days.
on the same day the wardens went pry-
ing around the larders of the Millard hotel
and found there 1ss birds of various sorts
and degrees of succulence and conffsosted

OF the Willard, came into Justice Cock

BATTLE FOR The PRESIDENCY
Councilmen Are Most Active in Fight
for the Place.
BERKA AND SCHROEDER LEAD
Each Claims TO Have the Job Landed
for Himself-To BE Decided by
Republican Members OF
the Council.

AS the time for secting q successor TO
Cooley Brucker as president Of the city
council draws near, aspirsnts for the honor
are active in their own behalf The reor-
ganization OF the council will be effected
next week under present plans.
At present two pronounced candidates
are In the field, Councilmen Louis Berka
and Fred Schroeder. Both contend that
they have the place all sewed up and all
that remains Is for the successor to be
named.
Berka bases his claims on a promise,
which he says members O. the combina-
ton made to him lie contends that when
Brucker was elected by the combination,
he was promised tho pssos this year. Other
members say tie honor was promised to
some republican and that Is where the
difference lies.
Schroeder takes issue with Bsrka. claim
ing that the place IL opon for a republican
and that he has ps much right to 1t as
Berka. He claims six votes, which means
a deadlock II he can produce them when
the count is made
The fight for the place, however, will
never reach the floor of the council cham
ber members aay. Under nm agreement.
1t is left to the republican members to
name a successor TO Brucker and the COM
binRtion Is to go through for the selection.
The whole thing will be settled in the
meeting Of the republican members, which
will be held later In the week.
Then unless there is a split in the com
bine the choice will prevail hands down.
However, Schroeder is said to be ready to
desert the combination and he declares
| that he can carry two of the insurKent
democrats with him.
May Have Deadlock.
In the event OF a deadlock, Burmester
and Davis will be placed in nomination, II
is said. But present signs point to Berka'
| selection His supporters claim that Kugel
| Davis and Burmester are for him first
last and all the time These votes are
sufficient to give him the nomination.
II am for Berka as long az he has a
chance says Davis. In my opinion, he
has enough votes to nominate him
| Whether he can be elected is another
question. The minute he shows he can't
am going to declare for the honor myself.
III Schroeder can carry two members OF
the combination with him, believe he car
force q deadlock, as 1 do not doubt tn,
three standpatters will vote against
Berka-"
Tho standpatterH, Funkhouser. McGoverr
and Bridges, are lying low. They thini
they hold the key to the situation and by
lining up with some candidate other thar
Berka, can secure important concessions
In committee appointments.
Funkhouser has long nursed q Srievanc,
because he was rolled from the lighting
committee. Of which he was formerly
chairman He casts longing chances II
that direction again and has hopes of tn,
place IL Berka u not elected.
The incoming president will have the ap
pointment Of the various committees
which In themselves are Of more import
0noe than the prssLdency.

the most costly Leaks the false economy ex-

Much foodstuffs arc Bought with but one

One of the NEST serious is baking powder.
By the use of perfect baking powder the
housewife can derive as much economy from any
other article used in baking and cooking In selecting
the baking powder therefore, should be exercised
to purchase that retains its original strength and
always remains the same thus making the food sweet
and wholesome and producing sufficient eavening gas
to make the baking light.
Very little of this eavening gas is produced by the
cheap baking powders making it necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily required to secure
good results.
You cannot experiment every time you make cake
or biscuits or test the strength of your baking powder
to find out how much of it you should use yet with

Proesss for Removing Stunps.

Proesss for Removing 8tumps.
A new process Of clearing logged.on
land and making it ready Tor farming
is described. with illustrations. In the
March number OF Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Instead Of dynamfting the
heavy stumps to get them out OF the
ground. or Of using donkey engines to
loosen their grip on the soil. the plan
Is to turn them into charcoal In tho
ground. thus enriching the soil. cutting
to a minimum the labor required to
clear q tract OF logged-over land. and
reducing to perhaps $40 an acre the
present almost prohibttive cost OF from
SO to $3.50 for preparing the logged-
OF land for the farmer.
The process Is being tested In vest
ern Washington. In one experiment. 12b
stumps, some as large as three feet In
diameter, were burned out in four days.
