WHIPPERMAN LAID
UP BY SPIDER BITE
Cement Man Halted in His
Work of Recruiting Com
pany for the Sixth
Nebraska.

A bite on the ankle by a black
spider June 9 has disabled Frank
Whipperman, president of the Omaha
Concrete Stone company and presi-
dent of the Midwest Cement Users
association, so that he has been unable
to be at his plant for a number OF
days. He is still confined to his home,
with his ankle and leg badly swollen,
and within the last few days the SWELL
ing has moved into the arms, so that
his arms and hands are swollen to
double their normal size. Mr.. Whip
perman's physician says he is making
some headway, however, and that he
will probably make steady recovery
now.
Mr.. Whipperman did not know
when he was bitten. He noticed a
growing pain in the ankle after he
had been moving the lawn. When
this grew so severe that it was very
annoying he consult the doctor.
There is hole here where some-
thing bit you," said the doctor. Have
you been bitten by black spider?
Whipperman did not know that he
had. The doctor told him there is
large black spider with two red
spots on it, which is about the only
spider really poisonous in this Sec
ton.
The next day one of Whipperman's s
sons killed two. black spiders as big
as the end of a mans thumb. Each
had two red spots on it. They had
gained entrance to the house some
way, and Mr.. Whipperman believes
they came in with the bedding and
mattresses which had been put on the
grass for an airing during the recent
housecleaning activities at the Whip
perman home.
Mr.. Whipperman, who is Spanish
war veteran, was organizing a COM
pany for the Sixth Nebraka regiment
of infantry. His present misfortune
has greatly delayed his activities in
this line, as he has been unable to
hustle for more recruits. Instead OF
hustling recruits he is compelled to
spend whole days in the doctors office
swathed in hot packs to eliminate the
poison from his system.

More Precincts Are to Be
Added So Women Can Vote

Election Commissioner Moorhead
submitted to the city commissioners
a tentative plan for redistricting
greater Omaha into twelve wards.
Mr.. Moorhead's proposal is to have
the wards divided by main thorough
fares, which would eliminate, for in
stance, the present division of some
wards by Dodge street. 1t is pro-
posed to have the Third ward
bounded by Charles and Dodge
streets, from the river to Thirteenth
street.
The new ward division is neces-
sary on account Of the recent annex
alton of Benson and Florence.
On account of women voting at the
rext election it will be necessary to
add thirty-hve voting precincts.
There are now 106 precincts. The
law requires that voting precincts
shall be created on the basis of the
voting population, or one voting place
for each 800 voters.
