HAPPENINGS OF
THE SOUTH SIDE
Two Small Lost Children Are
the Guests of Honor at
the Local Police
Station.


ing girl of 2, and James O'Connor,
40l8 Polk street, were guests of honor
at a party in the South Side police
station yesterday afternoon.
The children were found wandering
across the bridge at Twenty-sixth and
Q streets. Officer Robey, realizing
that it was a dangerous place for lost
babies, took them to the station.
The little girl had evidently run
away while her mother was dressing
her, for she was barefooted and bare
armed. A petticoat, that might have
served for a doll, was pinned around
her.
Each child had an apple, green, half
eaten and dirty, clutched in its hands.
They sat in the police station and
looked at everyone, little scared and
very wistful. Captain John Briggs, of
the machine gun company of the
Dandy Sixth" could not withstand
their glances. He picked up the boy
and put him on his lap.
Don't you be afraid, sonny" said
the captain. Now tell us your name"
ITS James" answered the boy.
The little girl after much question
ing. whispered that my name is
Blanche"
And so Blanche and James sat in
the police station and munched their
green apples.
Those apples will make them sick"
worried the police, so they brought
ice cream, for which the guests gladly
traded their apple cores.
James, is Blanche your sister%
asked the captain.
Both children shook their heads
vigorously.
"Oh, / see, it's an elopement,"
laughed Desk Sergeant Smith.
After the formality had worn away
James told his friends that his papa's
name is Connors and Blanche lisped
that her mammals name is "Mith
Fithks."
The party" over, the police located
the childrens' parents and the two lit
tie folks were taken home.

Will Have to Replevin Liquor.
Because officers searched their
homes without warrants, Police Judge
Madden ordered liquor taken from
Dan and Mary Covry and George and
Mary Such, $500 South Twenty-eighth
street, and Dan Filph, 2423 P street,
TO be returned to them.
Chief Dunn advised Captain Briggs
to hold the liquor. The defendants
will have to institute repleyin pro-
ceedings in district court to recover
their property. Captain Briggs said:
No, I'll not give up the liquor.
Well see what can be done about it."
He said that there is probably $500
worth of liquor, adding; "It will
make it hard for us to enforce the law
if we cannot enter home where we
knew the law is being violated with
out waiting to get search warrant"
No Excuse for Poor Milk.
There's absolutely no excuse for
the Omaha dairymen, who were fined
recently for selling inferior milk, say
ing that the heat and the flies caused
the cows to give poor milk" said
stockman.
1.-Two men can spray forty to fifty
cows in about FIVE minutes" he con-
tinued. "A good spray mixture need
not cost much and it will keep the
flies from cows and thus increase
milk production.
Here's a mixture that those milk
dealers could use to advantage, one
and one-half quarts of coal tar dip
one and one-half quarts FISH oil, one
quart coal oil, and one quart oil of
tar. Mix this in ten gallons of luke
warm soft water in which has been
dissolved one-pound of laundry soap"
