When a thief stealthily approached the
chicken coop in the rear Of o. G. Shurt-
leffs property, 4S17 North Thirty-seventh
street, at o'clock Thursday morning, he
failed to discount the fact that the owner
is an electrician.
He tried the door. 1t was not locked
What a cinch! No doubt there came to
the visitors mind that familiar, jingling
melody, who stole the lock on the hen
house do'?'
At any rate he swung open the door,
and automatically and instantaneously
the chicken coop was lighted up like a
Mississippi river steamboat. Simultan-
eously all the bulbs in the Shurtleff
home were aglow. and a big gong sent
out splitting alarm waves on the still
night air.
When Shurtleff emerged from the house,
gun in hand, he was just In time to
catch doYsal view Of the visitor scramb-
ling over the back yard fence like a
scared houn' dawg.
It's a neat little device Mr.. Shurtleff
has rugged up for nocturnal visitors.

BRANDEiS SAYS REPORT
FROM DES MONIES FICTITIOUS

The report printed in the papers Of Des
Moines that J. L. Brandeis & Sons of
Omaha were about to open up an estab-
lishment there is branded as pure fic-
ton. Inquiry Of Arthur D. Brandeis, who
is the head of the Brandeis interests here,
brought direct denial
~ have no idea where such report
should have started for II is certain that
we have had no negotiations for any
property or business in Des Moines.
You can say that we have no intention
whatever OF opening up branch or en-
gaging in mercantile operations anywhere
outside Of Omaha, and II we were figur-
ing on anything Of the kind We surely
would go to larger city and not to a
smaller one"

Protest Filed by
Merchants Against
the Occupation Tax

Vigorous protest against the city coun-
ellis proposed institution Of an occupa-
ton tax has been filed with the city
clerk 1t bears the signatures of fifty
five Omaha business and professional
men and mercantile concerns. J. w. Met
calfe, who secured the signatures, said
there would have been many more had
he had more time for his canvass.
The protest asserts that the proposed
tax is fundamentally iniquitous and on
just and goes on
There can be no occasion for such a
tax, and If there were it would be better
to increase the levy against such prop
erty as is now on the assessment rolls
than to seek out new and embarrassing
taxes against the business interests and
prosperity Of this city. We assert that
every such tax can do nothing else tnan
check the true prosperity of this city,
which now seems so we'll established and
secured. We are willing to meet with
you and to show you by every argument
and fact that the proposed occupation tax
will injure the business interests OF the
city,"
