Produces the Cabinet.
When w. n. Watson, now superintend-
ent OF school buildings came to South
Omaha twenty-five years ago he brought
with him an unfinished cabinet OF inlay
work for Mrs. Watson, to whom he was
not married at the time. Watson had
worked on the box during his residence
on the Pacific coast, After his marriage
he was so busy providing for his home
that he had little time to complete the
work on the box. so It lay In the attic
OF his home. A few days ago while In
structor Baghy of the high school man.
ual training department was expatiating
on the more perfect woodwork done iu
present days Watson took issue VITA him.
Bagby called for proof. Watson rooted
| through his attic until he found the cover
OF the long forgotten box. II is about
12x1S inches and has 1879 pieces OF inlay
work in IL. The wood is cedar. rose

said 20 BE Worrying.
According to authority the South Omaha
fire and police board is worrying its es-
teemed self sick over the continued vio.
lation of the liquor laws by saloon keep
ers. 1t is true that there are some cit
liens who believe that the whole work
might be settled II the chief of police
were told TO bring the guilty ones be-
fore the police magistrate and not mer-
ely report them to the board A number
| OF saloon men claim that they have been
| given special warning by friends on the
board. One saloon man who keeps his
place closed Sundays. but who claims
that other saloons do not says he was
called up on the phone last Sunday night
and told to be careful by a myster-
ious voice which claimed to be one of the
board members.
Fear Lower Wages.
Packing house employees In South Omaha
are becoming a bit dubious about the
wage scale for laborers In the packing
houses and fear that there is a possi-
bility for the old 19-cent wage rate to 20
into effect for all employees because of
the recent ruling that new packing house
workers shall receive but 10 cents II is
feared that a universal ls-cent scale will
be inaugurated, although notices posted
! by the packers assure them that the 10
cent rate will only affect the new insn.
Last spring the rate was raised from
10 cents 10 20 cents after much labor
troubles that brooked riotous disturb
ances, which were only avoided by the
raise in the scale Of wages Since then,
however, the packing companies have
been laying off men, especially during the
last month. and there is considerable feel.
/ ing among the men at present.
