about the result. Ho still professed Ignor-

"This mlUltiK-in-transIt rate business Is n
matter that tails within the Jurisdiction of

Mr. Hastings. "Wo nro willing to do whnt

Commerce commission would probably hold

With rotrard to rates within the stnto Mr.
Hustings sold : ' 'Thorn has boon some dis
cussion of whnt Is called the straight rate on

there , shall bo hauled at ono rnto to tbo point
where it is unloaded and not the rnto to
Omaha and bank to its destination. This is
pructlcnllv the same fight that is on down in
Kansas. 'This would probably bo very harden
on the Jobbers nnd wholesalers of Omaha ,
because the small Jobbers in tbo interior of
the state could handle sugar at a lower rate
than Omaha houses could. "

JOHN TREBEK IS FREE.
Urudwoott'n Well Known Merchant Finally
Ijlburtitml from tliu ( iernmn Army.
About sovontcon years ago John Trobor ,
then 20 years of ago , living in the village of
Hoohbelm in Germany , reported blmiolf to
the nearest military station for enlistment in
the army , as every able-bodied young mon of
tbat ago in the Gorman empire is required to
do. Hoieportod in the spring , but was not
to enter Into tbo service of tbo kaiser until
the following October.
'
In the meantime John had bcon thinking
the matter over and bnd finally como to tbo
conclusion tbat there was more glory than
profit in working for the emperor , so ho re
solved to risk the consequences nnd flco to
America. Two months before the time fixed
for him to commence bis military duties ho
was on tbo ocean , on route for the land of
freedom. After going through tbo usual
trials nud tribulations thnt fall to the lot of
the average emigrant ho began to make
money and engaged in buslnosuntDoadwood ,
S. D. , where ho was much liked anil're-
spucted , being elected to tbo city council a
few yours ago.
Last fall an Irresistible desire to visit bis
native land so tbat ho could once moro sco
his aged father took possession of him. His
filoiulB , however , advised him not to go to
bis old homo , but to write to his father and
have him moot him on the French border ,
Where bo could not bo molested by tbo ofll-
cors of the Gorman govern men t. Last Octo
ber , in accordance witb this arrangement ,
ho mot his father , whom ho bail not
t cen for seventeen years , nnd tbo old man
was so proud of his son thnt in spite of the
risk , nothing would do but bo muat show
him off in the old German village. Ho
argued tbat after so long n Inpso of tlmo
there would bo no trouble , but in this ho
made great mistakes.
Following tbo ill-advised counsel of his
proud and doting father , Mr. ' Trobor ven
tured to once again enter the llttlo vlllucro
where ho was born , trusting tbnt his altered
appearance and long absence would prevent
his being recognized by tbo mil
itary authorities. But ho was
doomed to disappointment , for In
the mldit of a round of social pleasures ho
was suddenly pounced upon and put under
arrest for desertion from tbo German army.
lie was tried , condemned and sentenced to
six months imprisonment , with hard labor.
In the military prison , and was also ordered
to servo out a term of thrco years In the army
after bo was liberated from Jail.
Ho was not without friends , however , and
they worked ardously and persistently for

crowned with success. Last evening Her &

DIXON'S OlTE CHANCE.
President HiirrUim Alonn Cnii Sine the I.lfo
oT the Nulillur Murderer.
1'ho only power that can noxv save Mr ,
Clinton E. Dixon from death on the gallowa
rests with the president of the United States.
The sixty days granted Dixon's attorney
in which to fllo his bill of executions expired
yesterday , and no bill was filed. The attor
ney general bus not decided to bavo
the transcript made at tbo government's
expense , or , ut least , no intimation of such
an Intention has been rccoivcd by District
Attorney Baker and it is tnlcon for granted
that the attorney general does not propose to
touch the case , but will lonvo the linding of
tun lower court as It now stands.
The president will probably bo appealed to
for n commutation of the sentence to life Im
prisonment.
The crime for which Dixon was trlod nnd
found guilty , wns the murder of Corporal
John K. Carter at Fort Nlobrara ou Sooto.n-
bor 13 last. Dixon Is still con
fined In the folon's cell at the
Douglas county Jail , and unless President
Harrison interposes with a commutation of
t no sentence Dixon will bo.hanged on the 22d
dav of April next.
Speaking of the cnso Attorney Baker
said : "As n matter of fact the court never
granted an extension of tlmo for the filing ot
tbo bill of exceptions in tbo Dixon caso.
There was a rather ludicrous mistake made
in tbo matter. When * Dlxon's attorney
presented the application for an oxtonslon of
tlmo tbo Judge evidently supposed that ho
was signing an order for the extension ,
but ho signed the application. Dixon's at
torney seemed to rest under the impression
that the order for Iho extension of tlmo had
been signed , and I thought so until I looked
the matter up. I should not have tak'on ad
vantage of the error , however , if Mr. Dolan
had wished to present his bill of excoptionb
during the sixty days in which ho supposed
ho had hoon granted time to. make bis appeal
to the supreme court. But the t'.mo is now
expired , anyway , and I suppose Dixon's at
torney will make his appeal direct to Presi
dent 'Harrison. " ,
READY FOR FURNISHINO.
Contractor Coots lias PrnctlcuUy Com
pleted Ills Part of the City Hull.
"Members of tbo council nnd ether citizens
equally well posted have apparently taken
considerable satisfaction in talkinc about mo
being slow with city tbo hall work , " said
Contractor Coots yesterday "out If the
ether contractors were RS well along ns I am
the city ofllcials could move Into their now
quarters next week. "
Sixty days ago Mr. Coots agreed to have
the ofllces on the first floor of the city hall
ready for occupancy at this time if the city
would pay half the cost of having the build
ing heated for sixty days. It wns a week bo-
fora the contract was made and Mr.
Coots has more than done bis share.
In fact , there now remains but
little work to be done to place tbo entire
building with tbo oxceptlon of the council
chamber ready for uso. All of the offices
have been plastered and tbo carpenters have
their worn done from collar to garret
xvith tbo exception of banging the
doors and putting on a few needed
finishing touches. Tbo committee only de
cided Inst weeK on the Kind of hardwnro to
bo used on the uoors or this work would bo
out of the way. In two or three moro workIng -
Ing days Mr. Coots will' have the carpenter
work on the building completed.
Of course the rotunda is to be finished yet ,
but tbo offices can bo occupied Just as soon
as the furniture and vault contractors do
tbelr work. Mi' . Coot's work , what romrilns
of it , will not interfere with ttao immediate
occupancy of tbo building.
"lam doing all that cnn bo done on tbo
council chamber , " said Mr. Coots , "but that
is an especially particular piece of work and
I'm going to do it right If It takes nil sum

COOLEY'S CLIENT.
IIo Thinks Ilo Jills IlenOvcrclinr ( ; il unit
the Judge In In .lull ,
Tbo strong arm of the law wound Itself
about the form of Judge Julius S. Cooley
yesterday afternoon nnd dragged him to a
dark and dismal cell in the city Jail , During
the afternoon a complaint of embezzlement
against Cooley was Hied by Gus O'Kano
and charging that tbo "Judge" had failed to
turn over certain moneys collected for and
belonging to O'Kano.
The complainant was formerly In the em
ploy of the Missouri Pacific railway and was
injured wbllo at work , A settlement wus
made through Cooley , who obtained f-100 in
cash from the railway company. Out of this
amount the Judge turned ever to O'Kano only
1185. The failure to account for the balance
was the causa of his arrest. At the tlmo of
his arrest Cooley stated that It was a case of
5 pi to work and tbat bn had fulfilled bis part
of tbo contract. To substantiate this state
ment bo exhibited a written agreement , In
Which O'Kano promised to give him 50 , per
cent of the amotfnt collected from tbo rail
way company. This , of nourso , would make
the Judgn's too $ . ' 00 , leaving only f 15 to bo ac
counted for. In speaking of the dollclt Judge
Cooley anla that tuo rosi of tbo money was
spent in looking up the qnso. O'Kano claims
tbat ho wns under the Influence of liquor at
the tlmo bo slgnod the document , end now
thinks that the Judge got altogether too muob
of a rako-off. .
Tbe Judge's bond was fixed at $500. but up
to midnight no ono had been found who was
willing to sign the papers which would open
tno door to the Judge's cell , and bo was com
pelled to lost his aching bead on the hard
side of a bench until morning.

NRW YOIIK , March 11. H. a. Dun & CVs.
Weekly Review ot Trade says : Distribution
of products Is unquestionably Improving.
Transactions nro on the whole larger than n
year ago , In solto of depression at the south ,
being much larger at the west. Nor is Im
provement confined to that section , though
gnnernl there ; It Is also moro distinctly roll
In eastern cities and there are not wanting
signs that trade nt tbo south , though still
much embarrassed by the low prlco of cot
ton , Is steadily gaining. With all the great
Industries notlvo , with money abundant , in
splto of gold exports , nnd with speculation
kept In wholesome chock , the outlook would
seem to bo unusually favorable , notwith
standing general complaints that prices are
low nnd margins of prollt unusually small.
Iron has been the dismal feature , but In
stead of u decrease the weekly output shows
a large Incrcate , so that on March 1 It was
the largest ever known. The trouble In tnis
industry is that whtlo sharp competition bo-
twcon northern and southern producers
put * down prices the consumption has boon
irregular , at some seasons extraordinary ,
but at otbors hesitating. Southoru com
panies nro trying to consolidate. Kails are
Inactive , bar is dull nnd plates weaKor.
In copper there is also an , effort to consoli
date , or combine producers , as yet with' un
certain results. Trade in tin has been small
and lead Is dull.
Textile Industries.
The textile Industries nro Improving , while
buyors. do not speculate , and the tone Is
weaker ; it is clear that manufacturers nro
takinc wool more largely. On tbo whole ,
more machinery Is busy than a year ago ,
especially in cheviots , overcoatings and
cloaKlngs , and the dress goods trade has suc
cessfully closed a big season. In knit goods ,
buyers hesitate. The trade In cotton goods
is largely In excess of last year's sales In
Fubruary , showing a big Increase In every
department.
Business the past WOQK has bcon hotter at
Boston.
Hartford notes improvement in dry goods.
At Philadelphia , while Iron is demoralized
and the market for wool in buyers' favor ,
the liberal ordera appear for dry goods ana
tbo trade , except with tbo south , is the best
for many yoars.
Plttsburg finds the volume of trade in iron
smaller and some further talk of closing fur
naces , but the glass trade Is fair.
The grocery trade ot Cincinnati is good ,
and saddlery nnd harness active.
Good trade is noted at Cleveland In dry
goods , hardware , boots nnd crockery , and tno
Jobbing trade exceeding last year's aDetroit. .
Chicago reports a liberal increase in sales
of merchandise , exceeding last year's thus
far , nnd receipts of products show gains of a
third in cattle , half in corn and rye , double
last year's in Hour and barley , throe times in
wheat and four tiroes In dressed b.cef , while
a decrease of a third is soon in cured meats ,
logs nnd wool. Money is plenty for legiti
mate trado.
Throughout the Northwest.
Throughout the northwest the storm has
unsettled trade , though everywhere pros-
sects are considered bright , and at Milwau
kee and St. Paul trade much exceeds last
year's for the week , and nt St. Louis pros
pects are considered good for a largo increase
En trado. < , /
It is gratifying that notes of cheer come
from the south. Louisville reports the larg
est sales of tobacco in the history of the trade
and general improvement , while the business
IR fair but Improving nt Nashville , and some
Improvement is seen at New Orleans , where
sugar is rising , witb an active demand and a
hotter feeling is soon in cotton.
Speculation in prpduots is weak , wheat
being 2 % cents lower and corn one-fourth of
a cent , exports falling much below those of
recant weeks. Oats and pork products uro
unchanged , oil throe-eighths of a conthigbor ,
but colToo Is tbree-elgthti of a cent lowor. J ±
drop of an eighth in cotton puts the price
down to $0.03 , the lowest for more than forty
years , and receipts continue to exceed last
year's though this week exports fall behind.
All exports from Now York show a decrease
for the month thus far of about 8 per cont.
Though money Is abundant rates on call
bavo slightly advanced , and tbo market for
commercial loans is a little stltlor at most
eastern cities.
The business failures occuring throughout
the country during the last seven days num
ber 250 , as compared with a total of 240 last
week. For the corresponding weak last year
the figures were 273.
WALL STUUET FOll A WEEK.
Speculation Xitrrmv and Professional und
Lacking the Exciting .Episodes.
NEW YOIIK , March 11. Bradstroot's
Weekly Wall Street Review say's : The
inarkot this week has been lacking in those
exciting episodes which distinguished tbo
previous.ono. The speculation has been car-
row and professional to a degree , while for
eign-participation was of the lightest possible
character. At the same time it must bo noted
that the absence of very heavy soiling from
European sources is regarded as a favorable
sign , while there Is moro reason to bollovo
that the case with which this market has ab
sorbed the stocks which London sold after
tbo beginning of the year.Is producing a ben
eficial change of sentiment abroad in regard
to American securities. This will boar fruit
boroaftor , and for tbo tlmo being tbo ex
change market was too narrow and unsteady
to permit of operations in solving the trans
fer of gold to Europe. This gave encourage
ment to the bulls and though bearish donjon-
strations were not absent the marUot , as a
whole , exhibited surprising firmness in view
of the extraordinary fluctuations and manip
ulation to which it had boon treated ,
Humor * of Deals anil Combinations.
Humors of deals and combinations were
spoken of , but did not find tbo favor which
attended thorn In the preceding weok. Tbe
cblof factor In the proceedings was indeed
somewhat unsettling 1n Its Influences. At
the beginning of the week the prospects , pro
and con , of tbo payment by tbo St. Paul of a
dividend on Us common' stock brought the
chief question upon what speculation turns.
Up to the announcotnent , late on Thursday
afternoon , tbat it had been decided to-post
pone for the present the resumption
of dividends tbo matter was involved
In uncertainty. This , of course , Inter
fered with tba progress of bullish manipula
tion , nud the Interests wblob were so busy
on that side of tbo market apparently con
cluded to suspend operation * until a moro
settled state of affairs wns reached.
Tbo unexpectedly largo majority which the
silver mon displayed in the house of repre
sentatives was a subject of discussion in
speculative circles , though it cannot bo said
that tbo prospect of legislation ot that character -
actor is regarded as a tangible factor In
affection prices. On tbo otbor band the con
dition of western railroad truftlo was re
garded with some Interest , and the toner ot
reports from that quarter , intimating tbat
tbo railroad tonnage through the spring
months would bo very heavy , was regarded

lines in existence. Owing to its unique

HOW BABIES SUFFER
From Torturing Humors
When their tender SKINS arc literally ON FIRE with ITCHING AND
BURNING ECZEMAS and other Itching , Scaly , and Blotchy Skin and
Scalp Diseases , none but mothers realize.
To know that a single application of the Cuticura Reme
dies will , in the gtcat majority of cases , afford instant and complete-
relief , permit rest and sleep , and point
to a permanent and economical ( because
so speedy ) cure , and not to use them
without a moment's delay , is to be guilty
of positive inhumanity. No greater leg'
acy can be bestowed upon a child than
a skin without blemish and a body nour
ished with pure blood.
the greatest skin
cures , blood purifiers , and humor reme
dies , are absolutely pure , and may be used from pimples to scrofula ,
from infancy to age , with the most gratifying and unfailing success.
TREATMENT. CUTICURA , the great skin cure , nnd CUTICURA SOAP , an cxmiisite
skin purifier and bcautifier , externally , instantly allay the most intense itching , mim
ing , and inflammation , soothe and heal taw and irritated surfaces , clear the skin and
scalp of crusts and scales , and restore the hair , while CUTICURA RESOLVENT , Ihe new
blood and skin purifier and greatest of humor remedies , cleanses the blood of all
impurities and poisonous elements , and thus removes the cause.
