weekly rovlow of trade says : The first week
of the now your has boon marltod by sorao
itrlklnK events. Those change * do not
threaten , out promlao to Jiolp the Icgltlnmto
business of the country which over confident
speculation at this tlmo might havu ombar-

The government i uo < l this wcolc Its final
statement of the yield of wheat , corn and
oats. The yield Of wheat now reported so
fur cxccotls previous department estimates
that the price hai dropped sh irply ! ! > f cents
for the week on sales of only 15,090,000
bushols. Onts also Uroppacl/2,1 cents , but
corn rojo ono-elglith of n cent , largo ax-
ports , actually exceeding these of who.it , for
tliroo days of the week sustaining the price.
Pork products scarcely changed. Oil rose
2 cents and ooffoo ono-fourth of a cant.
Cotton has dropped to the lowest pvlco since
early In 181 ! ' , vl/ . , $7.44 for middling uplands.
Hocoipts at the south contlnuo greater
than last year , and although exports
nro also greater the stock accumulated
and largely carried by banks at various
points has a depressing influence. This
olTocts trade throughout the south , and at
Memphis the outlook Is considered poor and
collections nro very slow. At Naihvlllo
trade is only fair , though money Is oaslor.
At Little Hock tnido Is dull : at Gnlvoston
very conservative , with failurO ) much ex-
ceoaing these of last year In ntimbor ; at
Savannah trade Is quiet though money Is
easy , and at Now Orleans banks nro easier
and a bettor fooling Is seen In the money
market , though unusunl quantities of cotton ,
sugar find rlco nro being carried. The cle-
mnnd for sugar and rico Is strong nnd active ,
with slightly bettor price ? , but cotton Is de
clining with heavy receipts.
Trillin In the Xnrtli.
Trade In other pat-Is of the country Is fulr
for the season , the now yen's quiet not
having entirely p.issed , At Boston business
is better In some linos. At Philadelphia
liberal orders nro noted for spring materials ,
while trauo in other branches is now vorv
light. The prospect Is considered , good.
I3nltlmnro reports a healthy money market
and Cincinnati activity In clothing nnd
moderate trade in whiskies , w.ith a favorable
start for the year. At Cleveland trade is
good for the season and rolled Iron in good
domund. At I'lttsburg the outlook seems
better , pijr iron is slrnnj and finished iron Is
in good demand. Chicago reports some in
crease In receipts of barley , cured moats ,
cliocso nnd cattle , receipts of oats nearly
double last year's of flour , corn , rye and
dressed beef fully double , and of whe.it
tliroo tunes last year's. Dry goods sales are
light , tb.ou.trU payments nre bettor ; sales of
clothing and shoos nre larger than a year
ngo , and money is in fair demand , with the
supply nruplp for legitimate trado. Mil
waukee tlmis eoocl Indications for the spring
trade nnd heavy snow helps the lumber busi
ness. At bt. Paul trade is quiet , ns usual ,
with excellent prospects. At Minneapolis
ths car tnimno Is over and the output of flour
for last week was 17'J,0')0 ) barrels , against
114,000 last year , with lumber sales of 1891
exceeding these of 1690 by 07,000,000 foot.
At St. Louis cold weather causes hotter
trade in heavy clothing , nnd other trade is
reasonable , the grain blockade having
broken. Irado at Kansas City is quiet and
money in light demand.
Collections throughout the northwest nro
very fair , though slow at most bouthorn
points.
Improvement In the Great Industrie * .
The great industries report no important
change , tb.ouglf.in iron n largo business is
being done and the tona is improved. Some
improvement is soon in bar and plates and t >
fair business in structural iron. The coal
trndo Is ragged , though the demand is beyond
nil precedent. Less demand is seen for cop
per , though large bales have occurred ; tin is
weaker and load dull. The money market
has boon well supplied at this point and
other markets throughout the northwest aio
cosier. In brief the business prospects of
the country are remarkably favorable for the
beginning of a now year , excepting at the
south , nnd white the depression in that sec
tion may considerably effect some trades and
brunches of manufacture the uplifting in
fluence of largo northern crops and of un
precedented foreign demand for northern
products gives substantial ground for the
great conlldcnco which prevails.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the night days since De
cember ill are 4i5 ! , as compared with a total
of 320 last week. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 40i. ;

Nr.w YOIIK , Jan. 8. Bnxdstroot's Weakly
Wall Street Hovlow says : To all appear
ances the favorable anticipations in regard to
the course of speculation have bean verified
by this tendency during the first weak of the
yonr. The activity of the market has been
remarkable , and advances of a striking char
acter have occurred In many portions of the
shurollst. At the sarao time that the trans
actions have increased in volume it Is evi
dent that the participation has broadened ,
and that the January disbursements , with
the encouraging financial conditions and
btoady Increase of railroad earnings , have
tiroducod a great deal of fresh buying. It
was noticeable- that London and Europe gen
erally took no part in the upward movement
of prices which saluted the now yoar. In-
doou , there was selling from that quarter
during the greater part of the week , and
speculative sentiment in the foreign markets
Is apparently not ready to rosnond to the
bullish disposition which prevails hero. At
the same tlmo our market , though widening
and Improving in reswoot to the quality of its
supply , seems to bo largely nrofosslonal In
cluu actor.

That manipulative Influences should bo
strongly at work Is not surprising. Indeea ,
such manifestations ar needed to sot the
marliot in motion. Hut the fact Is apparent
that the smaller professional operators in
thalr now found bullish enthusiasm , tended
to booomo quickly overloaded , thus prepar
ing the way for a reaction. Early in the
week , therefore , purtlcnlaily as London
failed to show a bullish disposition , the up
ward progress of tbp loading stock was
chocked and the advance's become con lined

chop out in some quarters. Little Impression ,
liowovor , was made , nnd on Thursday the
market resumed its upward course , though in
the attornoan of that day a sudden nnd skil

liquidation by overloaded spocuhUor.1. At
the snwo tlmo the sentiment of the market
continues to bo Dullish nnd though it is rccop-
tilled that Its progress toward a higher level
may take a slower nnd moro orderly form the
bollol in such an outcome is very general
and Krldr.y's speculation , though somowhut
fovorlsh , was strong in its tendencies.

The Vanderhllt trunk line stocks with

which had been left behind in the nruvlous

.Mytt cry oft ho Case.
The Inquest over the remains of Oscar
Olson , the Western Union mosiotiRor boy
who died under auch peculiar circumstances
Thursday morning , was hold yesterday in
Coroner Maul's undertaking rooms.
The Jury was composed of the following
gentlemen : Charles J. Mentor , Oeorgo H.
Whltmoro , William Trafltoy , Ed Emory , W.
A. Sharp and John C. Drcxol. County At
torney Mahoney was present and conducted
the examination of the witnesses , of whom
there were five the two doctors who con
ducted the autopsy , the two messenger boys
who found Olson and the night clerk who
had charge of the ofllco.
During the examination the mother of the
dead boy sat in the roar part of the room and
listened intently to the evidence.
Edgar Aplin , Oil North Eighteenth street ,
night clerk for the Western Union , testified
that ho last saw Olson In apparent good
health about Q o'clock , when ho loft the ofllco
with sheets of the night press report for the
World-Herald and URB. Thirty minutes
later ho was led into the ofllco by two other
messenger boys. IIo was blooding from the
nose and cars , but was nblo to help himself ,
and took off his coat , folded It up and put It
on the table nnd then rolled up his sleeves
nnd washed his faco. The injured boy sulu ,
"Don" tint mo I hain't got nothing. " An
other boy. who was sent out after Olson loft ,
came back from Tins Bin : nnd the wittiest
asked him for the "skeletons. " The boy said
that the elevator man at Tun 13ii : : building
told him they had been sent down by nnothor
boy. Witness nskod Olfen about them , but
ho said ho know nothing about them. They
were suoscquontly found in his outside
pocket.
The only bruises noticed was ono across
the loft temple , and ho frequently said , "Oh ,
rny hand. "
The boy were a soft cap , but witness didn't
know whether lie had it on when ho was ns-
bisted into the ofllcc. Ho was gone about ten
minutes longer than the usual tlmo. His re
ceipt shoot was signed at the World-Herald
onicont2:0r : and at PUB Hire ofllco at 2:10. :
Ho was of n pcacoabla disposition , well be
haved , and was a boy who always had
fi lends.
Dr. II. C. Stunnoy wa-j the next witness.
Ha was called to attend the boy and found
him suffering from concussion of the brain ,
but there was no no compression of the brain
at that time , as he had not bled enough. He
was with the boy about throe-quarters of an
hour. Ho assisted at the postmortem and
found u horseshoe shaped fracture about five
or six inches long. He did not think a fall
would have caused such u fracture.
The boy must have run against something
or received n heavy blow. The bloou clot on
tbo brain was about ttvo inches in diameter
nnd nearly an Inch thick. The bones wore
not compressed. Death was caused by com
pression from blood clot caused by rupture of
nn artery due to a blow from some dull in
strument. A blow from the fist would not
have caused the injury without brass
knuckles or a similar -weapon. The wound
would bo ordinarily fatal , although if treated
immediately tnero was a slight chance of re
covery. The witness was not called until
3 hours after the injury occurred. The in
jury could Hardly have been caused by a fallen
on the paving , but could have been caused by
tripping and plunging against some object
standing vertically in front or beside him.
Two messenger boys told of seeing Olson
as ho came from the alloy , but saw no other
person.
Dr.V. . P. Wllcox , who also assisted at the
post-mortem , said ho never saw a moro ex
tensive fracture of the skull , which extended
five nud a half inches , The blow fell on the
loft temple at what would bo the too of the
shorsoshoo. The force foil on an area not
exceeding two and a half inches square.
Witness thought a man would have to full
from a great distance to make such a frac
ture , lie did not think the body could have
fallen against tbo iron post ot the railing
with force enough to do it. A list
would not maiio such an Injury.
It was caused by a blunt instrument ,
nnd must have been a loaded weapon
covered with something , or the oap might
have served that pinvo-io of protecting the
skin. The witness did not think the boy
could possibly have inflicted the injury upon
himself or that it could have boon the result
of a full.
This was all the evidence that the coroner
had to introduce , and as the county attorney
expressed a desire to look over the ground
the Jury also wont along nnd made a second
examination of the locality. The twomos-
sougors.NoUon nnd Kennedy , took their posi
tions in the placoi where they were when
thov heard Olsen's outcry. Ono was about
thirty foot east and the other eighty foot
west of the point where they found Olson
standing In a dazed condition just after they
hoard him cry out about his head.
Three of the Jurors were satisfied that
Olson slipped and fell , striking his head on
the knob-topped iron post of the railing
around the aron way about thrco feet from
where ho was standing when discovered.
The others were undecided , and ono of them
was not sure that the boy was not slugged
by some unknown person who afterward
concealed hlmsolf In the area wny.
The following compromise verdict was
agreed upon : "Wo , the Jurv , find that Oscar
OUon came to his death from compression of
the brain resulting from Injuries received in
n manner unknown to the Jury.
LIBEUALITY OF "CASH K. " .
Tim Unknown I'rlond of Charity Doiililun
Ills Uxiiul IluiiiNunio Yearly lloimtlon.
Some philanthropic individual in Omaha
.vhoso heart roaches clear dowu to his flncor
tips has for six years boon sending cash to
these engaged in clmrltablo work , nnd sign
ing his name as "Cash 1C. " The identity of
this generous por.ion has boon completely
hidden from the public and from everybody
but hlmsolf.
The money was sent for several years to
Hov. W. J. Ilurshu , and it was invariably
sent by special delivery or registered letter ,
so that the Identity of the sender could
not bo ascertained. For llvo years ,
Just about the middle of December ,
when the charity work began , "Cash.1C" has
sent in his $ .100 in crisp greenbacks to bo ex
pended among tlio poor. This year Mr. or
Mrs. or Miss ' Casti K , " us ttio case may be ,
doubled the amount , .sanding uu even ft,000
to the Omaha city mission. Hov , Claric , Mr.
HopKlus , MM. Jurdino , Mr , Kilputrlck ami
others connected with the mission work , nre
overjoyed by tlio liberal nnd generous gift
and "Ua-th 1C" may bo auro of the fact that a
great manv earnest prayers and resolutions
of tnanka have boon launched out Into space
with the hope that they may .sometime reach
the giver of this purely generous and rang-
nillcont gift to the poor of Omaha. "Cash

HAVE A CORNER ON ALCOHOL ,
The Whisky Tnist in Trouble Over a Clause
in n Contract ,
REGULATED BOTH SALE AND PURCHASE
. Mr. Mejernftlie Omulm DUIIIIrry
thu Working of thn Trmt mill Telli
of it > 'mv Hclii'iim of
UK
For many month * past the Wojtorn Dis
tillery and Cattle Feeding company , moro
commonly known an the whisky trast , has
had a corner on alcohol , and It scorns that no
dealer In the spirits has boon able to obtain
that article unions ho bought It from the
trust. In order to got alcohol ho had to com
ply with oirtain conditions raado by the com
pany , but the trust , in return , would issue n
5 per controbato cortllicato which now reveals -
veals the operation of the alcohol trauo In
trust.
Advices received from Chicago stain that
the Department of Justice nt Washington
had Instructed United States District Attor
ney Mitchell to Investigate the methods and
business of the trust.
The basis for the proposed proceedings by
the department against the trust Is a com
plaint received from the Alexander Drug &
Send company , ot Agnstn , Ga. The com
pany says that it has boon unable since last
August to buy from any dealer a single
barrel of alcotiol , exception the terms men
tioned In the cortltlcatc. The Georgia
drug house claims that It has Inquired and
cannot discover any place where it can buy
the spirits except on the terms as sot forth In
the certificate. According to the firm's
statement the purchaser o ! alcohol was
tightly bound to the trust nnd that ho was
absolutely at the trust's mercy.
The rebate certificate roads as follows :

A. L. Meyer , manager of Her & Co.'s Wil
low Springs distillery , stated yesterday
to TUB Bun that the clause , "and shall not
have sold any uoods so purchased at any
lower prices tnau said dealers' Hit prices ,
with freight , if any is patu by purchaser ,
added , " hud been eliminated.
Apprehending that the government would
commence some kind of proceedings to prose
cute the trust , Mr. Meyer said , the clause
WHS stricken from tno certificate. The trust
came to tlio conclusion that It was unconsti
tutional to try and compel dealers to sell at a
certain price. A now cortilicato of ra-
bate is now bolng used nnd a cus
tomer Is given the re ha to on condi
tion ho buy of the company. The
rebate varies from 5 to 7 nor cent , according
to thopricoof pniin. It is also withhold by
the company for six months in order to make
the purchaser comply with the terms of the
eortilicato. When ho buys the goods it is
with that implied agreement.
"As the ceitillcato now reads , " said Mr.
Mover , "no ono can interfere with our busi
ness. Wo have eliminated the objectionable
clause.
"The complaining Georgia drug firm , as
you mention , was not obliged to deal with
our company. There nro distilleries in Cin
cinnati , St. Louis and Nebraska City that
are not in the trust , and all of these are In
business to sell their liquors.
"Tho rapid absorption of the whiskv trade
by the company has aroused much feeling in
many quarters and the action of the district
attorney is doubtless the outcome of the
growing dissatisfaction among consumers. "

would lay the methods of the Western Dis
tilling ana Cattle Feeding company before

charge \vas continually being made that the
company was in reality a trust , but the char

people were not giving any thought or anxl-

Itrnl .Merit
Is the characteristic of Hood's Sarsaparllla ,
nnd it is manifested every day in the remark
able cures this mcdicino accomplishes. Drug
gists say : "When wo sell a bottle of Hood's
Sarsaparllla to a new customer wo are sura
to see him back in a few weeks after more-
providing that the good results from a trial
bottle warrant continuing its use. " This
positive merit Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses
by virtue of the peculiar combination , pro
portion and process used in Us preparation ,
and by which pll the remedial value of the
ingredients used is attained. Hood's Sarsa
parilla is thus peculiar to itself and abso-
lutolv unequalled in its power as a blood
purifier , and as a tonic for building up the
weak nijd weary , and giving nerve strength.

NIGHT SCHOOL.
New Plmi ot tliu Itimrd of JMucatluii to lie
Superintendent Fitzpatriclt. acting under
the Clrootion of tlio Board of Education , has
decided to open night schools nt the Lone
mid Hurt man builillrjg- % These schools will
probably bo ominod next Wednesday night.
Mr. J. J. II. Ilcedy will probably bo the
teacher at the Ilartman school and Mr. Paul
Borgcns at the Lonp.
Speaking of the subject of night schools
Mr. Piupatrlclc said : "I am impressed with
the Idea that night schools should bo opened
in several localities for the benefit ot for
eigners who ought to leurn how to apealc
the English language ana who ought
to learn something about tbo
history of this country. There are a groit.
many young people who cannot alfoul to go
to school in the day tlmo because they have
to work hard for a living. They might ,
however , learn the fundamental branches of
an English education by attending night
schools , and I believe thatsucjh schools would
accomplish a great deal in the line of malcing
good citi/ons of foreigners who come hero
without a knowledge of the English lan
guage , the history of our country or the In
stitutions with which they should become
familiar to become useful and Intelligent
citizens of the United States. "
The suporlntendont ! s introducing
into the schools a number of prac
tical magazines for general Instruc
tion , such as Goldthwalt's Geological
magazine and other publications. lie has
recommended that , several copies of these
books and magazines bo furnished each
school for tbo use of the teachers and pupils.
Mr. Fitzpatriclt believes that It would be a
good plan to have a small library m each of
the larger school buildings where practical
and useful current literature could bo kept
constantly within roach of tbo older pupils.
