If you candor/consistent with yourscnso

of vital Interest to our fanners. If. by our

M. D. Copfiix : : , Commissioner.
CiiAMpAtnx , III. , March 20. M. E. Coffccn ,

Bear Sir : Your favor enclosing mo a printed
synopsis of two opinions recently announced
by two of the circuit Judges ot this state ad
versely to Iho American llvo stock commis
sion company , and requesting my vlows of
the question involved , is just received ,
nnd I hasten to comply with
your request. Although your letter Is
n purely private ono , I lind the ques
tions involved In the litigation nro of such
( 'roat public Importance that i feel Justified
in asking your permission to make my
answer public. H seems from the synopsis
of these decisions yon enclose me , that the
American Live Stock Commission company
was held to have no standing in n court of
equity in the courts of Chicago and East St.
Louis In a suit with tno Chicago Live Stock
exchange. The American Llvo Stock com
pany is n corporation organlicd by stock
raisers , with a view to selling their own
jtocU in the markets through Its own agents ,
at the least possible expense to themselves ,
and with a view of dividing the prollts
among Its patrons the stock mis rs nnd
with n direct purpose of avoiding the extor
tion of the Chicago Stock Yards company
and other like corporations. It appears from
the decision thnt the stock raisers and farm
ers of Illinois who have formed co-operativo
associations through which to sell their own
tock und grain through their own agents at
less expense than herotoforocannot bo hoard
In a court of equity against the Chicago
Stocks Yards company , who seek to exclude
them from the mnrkot because , as the court
held , ' 'they do not coino into ttio court with
clsau hands , " and "because they nro them
selves wrong doors nnd monopolists. "
These opinions rendered against the Amer
ican Llvo Stock association , organized to en
able stock raisers to sell their own stock by
tholr own-ngents , and thus save the great expense
penso heretofore attending such sales
through others , presents questions of no or
dinary Importance to stock raisers and far
mers in tho-west.
While I cannot with propriety , discuss the
particular decision you enclose mo , 1 have no
hesitancy in expressing my opinion upon the
rights of the people upon the great public
questions involved in that kind of litigation ;
oceauso they reach far beyond moro private
judicial questions , and become questions ol
public and private right.vital to tno Interests
of thogretit producing classes of our citizens.
I confess my inability to understand why the
stoci ; raisers and farmers of Illinois nnd the
agricultural regions of the west , may not
form any kind of lawful co-opcratlvo associa
tions for the purpose of facilitating and
cheapening the sale of their cattle nnd corn ,
nud save to themselves the enormous prollts
realized by the trust monopolies nnd stock
yards corporations , which have robbed Iho
people so Ion got their rightful prollts on their
stock nnd eraln.
The rights of every man , or set of men , to
sell their own produce by themselves or
agents , In any market In the world without
the intervention of commission or third per
son , it seems to mo lsself-evlapntanditmust ,
bo equally true , that it is the duty of the
state ana the courts to protect the citizens in
thnt right. The refusal to protect these men
in their plain and undeniable rights on the
pretext that they are monopolists , is in my
. judgment , a manifest error , neither consistent
with reason , Justice or public policy.
Too long already have the stock raisers nnd
producers submitted to robbery nnd plunder
without relief from the extraordinary extor
tions and unjust tribute levied against them
by the greedy horde who stand between
them nnd the consumer. If there Is no law
to protect the people ngainst these cormor
ants , then it IB time there should bo ono
framed. But the people are not without lav *
nor adcquato remedy in the courts to protect
them 111 tholr lawful right to sell tholr own
stock nnd grain through tholr own ngencj
und upon such terms ns they may determine
that they themselves may share'tho prollts
The people found a v ay through the courts
to put n stop to railroad o.Mortlon nnd the
road is equally plain nnd clear for them to bo
protected iiaulnst all forms of monopolies nm
trust combinations which seek to fattei
themselves upon the labor and hard earnings
of the common people of this country.
The great reforms now demanded nnd
pressed by the produclngnud laboring chuse.
of the people against all manner of oxtortloi
and oppression , which deprives labor of It
Just reward , have now and always have hac
my earnest sympathy nnd support , and so fa
us It has been in my power , as n Judge o
private citizen , to promote and protect thi
common people against extortion and injtis
tlco I have done so , and shall continue to dc
so , so long ns I shall have any power or
voice to make myself felt In that direction.
Nor , on the contrary , would I ncprivo the
rich of a penny of tholr honest money , nor
deny them a single riurht conferred bv law.
And so. answering your question , I bellevo
there Is ample and full power In the courts to
protect the people and the American llvo
stock company in their right to soil their
stock and grain in the markets without
hindrance from others , and In that rlirht they
should bo heard nnd protected , if need bo ,
by the courts by any appropriate rented v.

struck the chimney , completely demolishing

by the shock and was unconscious
for some tttno. The oloctrlo fluid also shat

through the side of the house.

by the lOlcment.
About 0iO : : o'clock last evening Ofllcer
Kcos discovered smoke Issuing from the top
story of the Max Mayor building , corner of
Eleventh and Farnara.
The llro was in' the front room of the
Omaha Photograph and Engraving company.
Ladders were quickly hoisted , ttio windows
broken in , and two streams of water soon
had the blaze extinguished and the building
tloodcdi
The loss to the engraving company
will not bo heavy. Probably S. Jonascn ,
a Jeweler who occupied the ground floor will
bo the greatest loser. The water poured
down through the floors , doing considerable
damage to the stock of musical instruments
and jewelry. The stock In the store Is worth
probably $5,000 , nnd the loss will not be over
fr..OOO. If there had been a salvage corps It
could probably have saved $1,000 of ttho loss
by covering up the pianos , clocks , etc.
It Is understood that there is some insur
ance on the stock'but just how much could
not bo nsccrtaincdras Mr. Jonasen could net
bo found.
The Omaha chemical works occupying the
basement for storing some chemicals suffered
some loss by water.
Thrco hundred dollars will cover the loss
of the engraving company.
The building Is fully insured and the loss
will bo about $ J. > 0.
This Is rather an ill fated building as sev
eral disastrous fires have occurred there.

HYPNOTISM AND IiAUGHS.
Both Arc to he Secured Nightly In the
Grand Opera House.
Dr. Davis , one of the leading scientists of
the country , is entertaining people in a most

an Instructive discourse upon hypnotism , and
is followed with interesting Illustrations as
to the effect It has upon mortals susceptible

The professor calls for volunteers
who may deslro to bo hypnotized.
Generally , n largo number responds , but all
of them are not considered good subjects. A
sufficient number , however , is always ob
tained for the purpose. Once under the pro
fessor's power , the subjects do any thing ho
tells them and bellovo everything ho lolls
them. A slight suggestion loads them lo bo-
llovo that , nt various times , they are catch
ing dollars which are raining through the
air ; that they are pitted against John L.
Sullivan or some other listlo hero ; lhatthoy
are fishing upon Iho banks of some
beautiful stream : that tholr hands
are covered wllh soot and that half a dozen
handkerchiefs are necessary to clean them ;
that they are freezing cold or roasting hot , or
that they nro President Harrison , Emperor
William , Francis Murphy or some ether
cohibrlty.
These nets occasion n number of ludicrous
episodes , which nro enjoyed ns greatly ns

the benches before him. 'Iho address
occasioned the laughter of the au-

A trip from Omaha to Denver nnd Manltou
includes n ride through the famous Platte Val
ley of Nebraska and Colorado to Denver , the
largest and most beautiful city of the Hocky
mountains nnd along the foot of the Hocky
mountain range from Denver to Manltou. The
panorama which U laid before the eye of tno
traveler In n Journey from Denver to Manl
tou , includes la ono sweep of the eye 800
miles of mountain peaks , snowy range , foot
hills and canons. Long's peaic , away to the
north ; Gray's peak , the dome of the conti
nent ; James" peak , the Arapahoe peaks ,
Pike's peak.'tho most famous of all moun
tains of Colorado , nnd away to the south , 300
miles from the point of observation , the thrco
forbidden mountain tops known as the Span
ish peaks , nro all In view for n part of the
distance.
Manltou Is the most attractive of the many
resorts of Colorado. Lying nt the foot of
Pike's Peak and nt the untniiieo of the
Garden of the Gods , It invites tlio tourist nnd
sigbt seer to the most remarkable formations
and the grandest and most picturesque
sccncrv of thnt rugged range. Its mineral
springs and pure air give now Hfo to the do-
bllltatod. The Ptko's Peak railroad , n
marvel of engineering skill , conveys p'lssen-
gors to the very summit of the lofty old
mountain. From the ton ofPike's ' Peak all
the great mountain peaks of Colorado are
distinctly visible , while to the cast its tree-
lined avenues at right angles , looking llko a
checker board in tlio distance , lies the pretty
llttlo city of Colerado Springs nnd beyond
the great plains of eastern Colorado. A
volume could bo written , Indeed volumes
have boon written , of the glories of Mnnltoti
nnd Plito's Peak.
A ticket covering this tour Is offered for the
seventh largest list of subscribers.
There Is no American tour which combines
n greater variety of scenery nnd a wider in
terest o the traveler than ono from Omaha
to SanFranclsco and Los Angeles , Cala.
The t rvcler passes through the states of Ne
braska Colorado , Wyoming , Nevada nnd
California und the territory of Utah. This la
the great bu slness belt of the west and nt
every step of the Journey something of inter
est presents Itself , whether the tourist bo
student , business man or merely plcnsuro
seeker.
Nebraska and its prairies ; Colorado and its
mountains ; Utah nnd its wonderful Salt
lake ; Nevada and its arid plains and Cali
fornia with Its innumnrablo attractions , are
nil compassed In this trip. Omaha , the most
prosperous city in the union today ; Denver ,
the queen city of the Uocklos ; Salt Lake , the
Xlon of Mormondom ; Sai Francisco , the
golden gate , und Los Angeles , the City of
Our Mother of the Angels , form a string of
Jewels of rarest water.
These are all prosperous cities ; they are
all beautiful cities ; they are all wonderful
cities. Each is remarkable for some particu
lar reason. No two of them nro
alike in attractions and no traveler
can afford missing to sco each nnd
all. In the months of Juno , July , August
and September the prairies of Nebraska , the
Ilocky mountains , the valleys of Utah and
the great Sierra range nro seen to the best
possible advantage. It is the fruit season of
California , the sight seeing period of nil the
mountain countries nnd the pleasurable part
of tin ? vcar for travel.
The ticket ottered by Tun BKU In return
for the second largest list of weekly sub
scribers obtained bv Juno 10 , 1S91 , allows
stop-overs at all points of interest between
Omaha and Los Angeles. A week or n month
may bo spent at Denver visiting the pictur
esque mountain rcsortsndjaccnt nnd another
week can likewise bo enjoyed nt Salt Lake in
hunting , fishing , sight seeing and bathing in
tlio great inland sen. As much time as the
passenger likes may bo enjoyably spent lit
San Francisco nnd other points in California ,
not oxcontlnir tlio lovely orange groves and
fruit orchards of southern California.
Niagara falls , the world's grnatcst catar
act , needs no glowing description. It cannot
bo described. Pouring over n precipice IGO
feet high , the immense volume of water of
Niagara river , the outlet of the great lakes
finds Its way toward the ocean. On cither
side of the river are splendid views of this
tremendous waterfall , above it and below it
and all about it are ether scenes which have
attracted travelers from all parts of the
world. Goat Island , the burning spring , the
whirlpool rapids , the suspension bridge , nro
Incidents merely to a visit to Niagara falls.
Thoficld'on which the battle of Lundy's
Lane was fought is within a few minutes
drive on the Canadian side. The facilities
for visiting all points of interest on either
side of the river nro superior. The regula
tions controlling access to and from the sev
eral points now prevent the exorbitant
chnrces which were formerly almost ns fam
ous as the cataract. A day or a few days at
Niagara falls Is ono great event in an aver
age lifetime , and no American should ever
think of visiting tourist resorts abroad until
ho has seen Niagara'falls. Ho can have no
appreciation of power , of grandeur , of awe-
inspiring beauty , who has missed a visit to
this world renowned spot.
A XXOUA CEMeXTS.
The attendance nt the Grand last week In
creased every evening. It was nearly double
Friday evening what it was Thursday even
ing , nnd Saturday evening moro than doubled
Friday evening. Last evening showed up In
the same proportion. The growing Interest
has warranted n continuance of the hypnotic
Illustrations every ovoningdurlng the coming
week , and ns the deeper influences are ob
tained , the entertainments bccomo moro
Interesting and amusing. The programme is
marvelous and incltlvo of the moit hoirty
laughter during the entire programme. The
experiments ore changed each evening.
Amy Ames , who was the feature of the
"Tin Soldier" and "Natural Gas , " will play
the Irishwoman In Katie Etntuett's "Waifs
of Now Yorit , " which opens for a thrco

Ames is the highest salaried artist , and is
considered by good Judges to bo the host char-
uctor artist on the American Kago , and the
salary sue receives weekly ( S'MO ) for her sup
port , of Miss Emmctt is certainly moro than
most stars got. During the Trinity church
scene in "Tho Waifs of Now York , " the
tones of the largest and most costly set of
church chimes over cast for stngo purposes
will bo heard. They were manufactured spe
cially for Miss Emmett by n famous maker
of church chimes in Brooklyn. Miss Emmett
gives n Wednesday matiuoo for ladies and
children.
PA farcical pleco such as Harry Hamltn's '
"Tho Fnitlr" takes its character largely from
ttio artists engaged in the presentation. It is
therefore necessary to obtain the best talent
in order to make performances bright nnd
superior throughout. Mr. Hamlin has recog
nized this principle lu organizing his company
for this season. There Is no company travel
ing containing so many talented men and
women who have made plays successful and
entertained hundreds of thousands of pconla
from Now York to San Francisco. " 'Tho

CHEAP SUITS.
' In advertising our immense lines of spring clothes for mens' wear , we possibly have not paid
attention to the cheaper grades of suits that our stock demands , There are a great many men who
can't afford to pay fifteen or twenty dollars for a suit , no matter how good the suit may be , Agair
there are men who can't afford to pay even ten dollars for a suit , simply for lack of the ten dollars.
Again , there are men who buy a cheap suit , wear it one season , sell it or give it away , and then buy
another. Buying a CHEAP $ tik in most stores , means buying a POOR suit. With us its different.
No matter how low a priced suit you buy of us , ' the suit will be GOOD , People often wonder where
we get suits to sell so cheap. Perhaps we "pick 'em off the trees where they grow , " Perhaps we buy.
cheaper than the average merchant. Perhaps we're willing to make smaller profits than most stores ,
and , perhaps well , perhaps you don't care how WE get them , WHERE * \\v get them , nor anything
about USitsO \ and WHERE YOUgtt them that interests YOU. Our buyer recently closed
out several hundred medium-priced suits. They will be placed on sale to-day in two lots. "You never
saw the like before. "
LOT ONE Three hundred and sixty-four Men's Fancy Cheviot Suits , in two handsome shades , in
sixes from 34 to 42 , cut in style , made in shape , and well trimmed : suits worth seven to nine dollars
_ At Four Dollars and Ninety Cents.
LOT TWO Three hundred and ten hanlsome Fancy All Wool Cheviot Suits , sizes 3-1 to 42 , in a
half dozen handsome styles of stripes and plaids , well cut , well lined , well trimmed , well made ,
suits worth from nine to eleven dollars , at the low price of
Five Dollars and Ninety Cents.

AN EXTHA SESSION.
Governor IJoyd Anxious to Hear from
the People ItCKUi-illiiK I-
Governor Boyd returned from Llncol n
Saturday night and was called on yesterday
afternoon by n BII : : man nt the residence of
his son-in-law , Mr. E. L. Biorbowors , on
Thirty-second avenue.
Ho was nskcd If ho had yet decided to call
a special sc ssion of the legislature for the
purpose of apportioning the state into repre
sentative and senatorial districts.
Ho said that ho had not. The question re
garding a special session was whether the
people of Douglas county would bo content
with n joint ballot of twelve votes where
they were entitled to eighteen or nineteen
when a senator was to ho elected. The same
was true In n different ratio , however , with
Lancaster nnd other counties , which
vero entitled to greater representation
han they now enjoyed. Thcro were
lomo counties which wcro satisfied
with the present apportionment , because a
new distribution would not afford them any
advantage. Thus far ho had not heard much
from the people , although he had received
several letters from parties throughout the
state. Ho supposed before long tlio people
would begin to talk about it and the papers
also would discuss it. Ho had road what
Tin : Br.i : had said on the subject , and ap
preciated the view which held that It was in
cumbent upon him to call n special session ,
because of the failure of the last legislature
to pass an apportionment bill. Ho had no
'
doubt that tho'suprcmo court would hold , because -
cause of the failure of the legislature
as specified nt the last session ,
which was the first regular ono
after the enumeration , that a special session
of the same members nnd before the expira
tion of their term ot olllco , would bo legal.
lie was asked what method ho proposed to
employ nnd wnat means ho would suggest to
ascertain how the people felt upon the sub
ject. Ho said that ho thought it was a mat
ter for the papers to discuss and that Tun
BKU might bo able to got some opinions on
the subject.
The governor said that the Impression had
gone abroad that ho had declared ho would
call a special session , But ho said ho had
made no such promise or statement. Ho had
been in Iho house of representatives the
uight the apportionment bill hud been Killed ,
and when ho heard of It said that ho re
gretted it , bccauso ho thought it might ne
cessitate the calling of a special session.
This expression led to the alleged positive
statement that ho would call a session. He
regretted thu failure ot the losislaturo lii this
respect , but If it entailed expenses upon the
pcoplo. the independents could blame only
themselves.
The governor was asked bow the stipromo
court could pass upon the legality of the spe
cial session und replied that before calling
the representatives and senators together
again ho would submit the matter to tlio
court for Its opinion , if the apportionment
could not bo made by the present legislature ,
it could not bo done by the next ono , nnd
then the matter would have to bo deferred
until after the next enumeration by the state ,
nnd in the meantime n United States senator
would have been elected.
Tlio governor was asked If the report
which has been in circulation for several
davs past wore true , namely that Dr. G. F.
Johnson of Fairmont , in this state had boon
appointed to succeed the present incumbent
ns superintendent of the asylum for the in
curable Insane at Hastings.
His excellency said thnt the report was un
founded. Ho bad-lint , ho said , made any ap
pointments since that of Mr. Louis Hoimrod ,
who had been appointed oil inspector of the
state.
