Each Local Board
Sends Five Extra Men
A Total of z, 2,785
By George Martin

NCHAtSu 4 IoSS SldII COiTeSpOnuent)
Washington, Sept. 3.-While Amer
ica's hundred million men, women and
children planned farewell celebrations
for the first 206, 100 drafted men who
start campward Wednesday, the 4,557
local boards today continued the toll
of actually getting them started.
The lists are practically complete.
The men have been notified of the ex-
act hour they must report.
Following receipt of strict orders
from the government that the full quo
ia of each board must entrain for camp
Sept. 5 if possible, each board is noti-
flying alternates to report with the
drafted group.
'"These five men," said the official
order, "are intended to serve in case
any of the men notified fail to report,
and in order that the local board may
not be placed in the position of fail
ing to entrain the exact number of men
called for, with the promptness and
precision that should characterize all
matters relating to the formation Of
the armies of the United States.''
This means that the 4557 local boards
will have on hand 22,785 extra men to
take the places of possible absentees in
the regular lists.
Prompt search will be instituted for
the man who fails to appear. One of
the alternates will be entered on the
lists in his place and sent to camp.
However, none of the alternates held
in reserve at local board headquarters

OPPOSITION TO DRAFT
IN CANADA NEARS END
Snap Has Been Taken Out Of
Anti All Meetings
May Be Stopped

Montreal, Que, Sept. 3.-Two more
arrests had been made today as a re-
suit of anti-conscriptionists attempting
to force their way into a pawnshop in
order to secure guns which were dis
played in the window.
The antis smashed the plate glass and
secured the guns, but the police were
quickly on the scene and managed to
get most of the weapons back. The
crowd was in an ugly mood and threat
ened to shoot the Officers, who were
forced to draw their revolvers in order
to hold their two prisoners.
Reinforcements from the nearby po-
lice stations soon scattered the crowd.
Important revelations are expected
from a thrilling fight in the vicinity
Of Lachute, small place about thirty
miles from Montreal, in which young
desperate was wounded by the police
in running gun fight aud ended his
life by putting his revolver to his
head, blowing his brains out. Three
ether companions of the dead man are
hiding in the bushes and the police ex-
pect to round them up quickly. 1t is
thought they may be connected with
the Montreal outbreaks.
That the snap has been taken out
Of the anti-erusade is evident by the
tone of the speakers at Sunday after
noon s meeting on Fletcher's Field.
There was little sign of fight in the
speeches made and some of the orators
advocated stopping the meeting alto
gether.
Anti-conscripti banners are barred
from the labor parade here today.

Soap and Coffee
Cheaper at Wholesale

1t is generally darkest just before
dawn and some one said that every
cloud had a silver lining, or words TO
that effect. What we intended to say
was that Peet Bros. Soap company an
nounced a decline wholesale of 25 cents
a case for its soaps and the Lenox soap
people are about to throw in case of
soap with ten box sale. Then the Ar
buckle people announced drop of half
a cent on their coffee. This will not
make soap or coffee any cheaper to the
Salem retail trade from the fact that
the Salem groccrs had the foresight to
buv heavily in these lines several
months ago and have been selling real
l, under the wholesale market. But il
does show that possibly some of the
big fellows making soap and handling
coffee have decided to ease up on the
dear public, especially as there is now
a food commission in existence.

Marty 0'TooIe, Holdout,
Signs Rourke Contract

Marty O'Toole, famous spit ball
hurler who once gained nation wide
prominence through his sale to the
Pittsburgh club for $4,000, has come
to terms and, after holding out for
some weeks, has signed an Omaha
contract.
O'Toole's contract is conditional.
The terms are rather large for the
Western league, but O'Toole must
pitch 2l0 innings and win fifteen
games to collect. The reason for
he conditional contract is that
O'Toole had a bad knee last year
which hindered his pitching. If the
;nee does not bother him this year
t is believed Marty will easily win
he required number of games. But
# he doesn't win at least fifteen
games Marty would be too expensive
a man for a Western league club to
earry. Thus the contract.

Corn Leads Bull
Market Again and
Goes Up Two Cents

1t was another bull day on the
Omaha grain market and all previous
records for high prices went glim-
mering during the early hours of the
session of the Grain exchange. Corn
took the lead in the advance and
quickly sold up to $l.l4H per bushel
for cash.
The previous high record on corn
was SLIP, but today this figure was
the low price, none of the up-to-grade
offerings selling below. Most of the
sales were made around $l.l3 and
$l.l4. Receipts were seventy-three
carloads. The general advance was
2 to 3 cents per bushel.
Wheat sold up to $l9oH, only one
half cent below the previous high
mark. However, most of the sales
were around $l.97@l.99, so, on the
whole, the market was 2 to S cents
up. The receipts were thirty-six car
loads.
Oats took a squirt and marked up
a new high record of 62A cents per
bushel. The advance was IA to "
cents per bushel and the ruling price
6l@62 cents. Receipts were forty
four carloads. ~

Guilty or not guilty." asked City
Prosecutor Mcclure.

He charged that "Connell is a law
unto himself and is overriding the
legislature and the city of Omaha"
Ezra w. Field, 22l6 Meredith ave-
nue., one of the leaders in the fight
against the health commissioner, told
the court that he had three children
attending the Saratoga school who
were refused admittance, notwith-
standing the fact that they carried GER
tihcates showing the internal form Of
vaccination.
Dump Wildly Described.
He also told of the dump at Twen-
ty-second street and Meredith ave-
nue., which he declared has existed
for years. Field testified that tin
cans, dead. dogs and cats, garbage
and street refuse were thrown on
this dump and that the odor is no.
ticeable even blocks away.
The water in this dump, he testi-
fed, is green and stagnant and is
near the Saratoga school. Field as
serted that the attention of the health
commissioner and the city council
has been repeatedly called to the con-
ditions in the neighborhood.
One Of the witnesses was Emily ].
Robinson. principal of Saratoga
school for the last twenty years. She
testified that she called up Connell on
March 9 and told him that his in
structions in regard to vaccination
certificates had been carried out. 81
asked him if it was my duty to dis
regard the word of reputable physi-
cians," she told the court. Miss Rob-
inson declared that only four families
in the Saratoga school district had
smallpox.
DR.. E. L. Alexander was called as
witness to testify how he vaccinated
the pupils brought to him. His tes-
timony brought out a ruling by Judge
Leslie that the court was not going
to pass on the merits of the two meth
DDS of vaccination.

AMATEUR BREWERS
PLUMB OUT OF LUCK
Sweet Cider is a Long, Long
Way from Applejack and
Wine Is Hard to Make.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT YET
By A. R. GROH.

To those two citizens who sent me
alcoholic questions I wish to say THAT
sympathize deeply with them in
their grief over the coming Danish
ment of Al. K. Hall from our fair
state, and that I see no hope in the
propositions which they put forth for
keeping him in our midst.
One of these men inquiries, what
is to prevent man from buying great
quantities of fresh grape juice and
allowing it to ferment in his cellar?"
Nothing at all can prevent a man
from doing that.
But, my dear thirsty sir, there is
much more to making winc than just
puttins away the crap; juice and al
lowing" it to ferment. You could just
as easily make lemon pie by putting
some flour and water and lemons in
the oven and allowing" them to bake
into lemon pie.
Wine making is cor. plicated proc
ess. The wine, has to be watched
carefully. You have to know Just
what temperate. to maintain. You
have to be able to tell from the ap-
pearance of the must" just when
to stop fermentation. You have to
know just when and how to do the
"racking," and how often to do it.
Must Keep 1t in Wood.
A fine bouquet is produc !, you
must know, by the gradual oxidation
of the alcohols and the combination
of the resultant products with acids.
Hence the necessity for keeping the
wine in wood, through the pores OF
which the air enters.
If you rack the wine too often you
expose it to so-called diseases which
give it a stale, sour or bitter favor
and ruin it. To prevent this, scrupu-
lous cleanliness is imperative. Some
times antiseptics are used. Some
times sulphur is burned in the casks:
Sometimes pasteurization is employed
and sometimes filtering through I'm
glazed porcelain.
These are just a few of the little
things you would have to know and
observe. You see, you'd probably
have to give up all other occupation
in ,order to make your wine and even
then it's not likely you could pro-
duce good wine. Too bad!
My other questioner has a similar
scheme; namely, to "buy sweet apple
cider and allow it to turn into apple
jack" 1
Only Hard Cider.
Not much hope there, either. In
the first place, sweet cider won't turn
into applejack. 1t will only turn
into hard cider.
Applejack, lovingly known among
its friends as Jersey lightning" is
secured by distilling hard cider, which
is long and tedious process requir-
ing considerable apparatus. Apple
brandy contains about SO per cent OF
alcohol, while hard cider contains
only ) or 6 per cent, which isn't much
more than beer.
Ny second correspondent is an opti-
mist. He says he believes love will
find a way"
I dunno. Looks pretty dark to me.
Don't see much hope. By the way, ,
your name sounds Scotch. Did you
ever hear that very dry story? Here
it is:
A Scotchman and an 1rishman
went into a saloon and the lrishman
didn't have any money.
But that doesn't help the present
critical situation. does it?
