Electric Oven is
Installed for the
Baking Of Bread

|. w. Zimman, manager of the con-
tract department of the Omaha Elec-
trio Light and Power company, re-
ports that his company will furnish
electrical energy for Hughes cleo
trio oven, which will be installed at
the plant of the Union Pacific Baking
company. This marks another step
forward for Omaha in the application
OF electricity to industries. There is
only one other baking plant in the
west now using this type of oven,
Omaha being the second city to
recognize its advantages.
The oven has capacity OF $4,000
loaves of bread during twenty-four
hours. 1t is simple and economical
in operation, gives perfect heat dis
tribution and utmost cleanliness, An
important feature of this oven is re-
duction OF space necessary for main
tenance of the ordinary steam plant
and does away with coal bins, ashes
and smoke. Utilization of all heat
generated is another factor which will
enter into the economical phases OF
this new baking system, thus making
It possible to reduce, the cost of pro-
duction. The bread baked in this
electric oven will be more healthful
and more evenly Drowned. The heat
is maintained at uniform tempera-
ture. The air is not vitiated by this
form Of heat as in the case of heat
rom steam boilers.
The electrical energy generated for
his new oven is equal 10 100 horse.

would-be leaders oueered a good
thing. According to the report of the
local democratic journal there were
only two speakers present, Attorneys
O'Sullivan and Jameson, the first
lauding Hitchcock and Lobeck and
the second preaching for Wilson and
Hitchcock. The combination worked
well in print, but not nearly so well
in fact.
The fact of the matter is that Jerry
Howard, Jerry Fitzgerald, R. J. Mad
den and several other state, county
and municipal candidates were pres
ent to sway the votes of the Austrians
and Lithuanians. To be left out en-
tirely from the press reports was too
much and the kick that went up was
something terrific. The split that ex-
lists between McShane and Magney is
also having an awful effect on demo-
cratic aspirations.

HAPPENINGS IN
THE MAGIC CITY
Hay Men, Chute Men, Leaders
at Yards Demand More
Money.
WoRKMEN GO ON STRIKE

Trouble came a-plenty to Superin-
tendent Jack Walters of the Union
Stock Yards company yesterday. At
4 o'clock in the afternoon workmen
engaged in cleaning the yards, man
ming the ten chute houses and load
ing docks struck for more pay, their
demands being a $5-per- month raise.
At present their pay is 500 month.
raise having only recently been
granted.
No sooner had the superintendent
settled the first dispute than haymen
came forward and demanded more
pay. The trouble here was not en-
tirely settled last evening, although
stock in the yards finally was fed last
evening.
The two successive volunteer raises
in pay at the packing houses is looked
to as the cause of the dissatisfaction
among the yard men. 1t is contended
that although better hours are offered,
the men in the stock pens should have
like increase in pay.
Restaurants Raise Prices.
Prices of ham and egg orders in
South Side restaurants were raised
5 cents yesterday. A. A. Wright, in
explaining the increase, said: II have
been contemplating an increase for
some time. The wholesale prices have
gone up tremendously in the last few
months and find it impossible to
make any margin of profit. In our
firm the net returns for an ordinary
month for three men have been hardly
decent wage for one man."
Funeral of Pioneer Thursday.
The body of Mrs. Thomas ellis
pie, 55-year-old pioneer. who died at
Long Beach, Cal, Saturday afternoon,
arrived on the South Side last even
ing at 1870 o'clock. A party OF old
pioneers were at the station to re-
ceive the casket in ceremony.
The funeral will be held Thurs
day morning from the family resi-
dence at 1870 L street to St. Bridg-
cts church. Interment will be made
in the Holy Sepulchre cemetery.
Many pioneers plan to attend. Mrs.
Gillispie is survived by five children,
three girls, Mary, Nellie and Anna,
and two boys, Michael and John. All
live on the South Side and are well
up in years.
