The rate rcductluua consequent to the tlfcht between the eastern and the southern exporting cities tor Nebraska grain have already cuused aa advunca on corn In the Omaha, market ot about 1 oent. Other causes may havu contributed ts this ad vance to a slight extent, but It Is at leust tliree-tourtbs of 1 cent greater than the gvneral advance In torn prices In the Vnl.ed State would aeem to jusltlfy. The Omaha push corn market Friday closed higher than it has been far almost two months, pr sinca Ltecemtter 1. The later decline was, ot ooume, due to the dullness oxut weakness of the general corn rltuatlon. Ths recent advance oannot, however, be attributed l the slight strengthening tt the altuattnn, Chicago fusb corn closid Friday at 4JWj and 43 cents.

It cannot be said the shipments of grain have Increased through the Omaha market since the rate slashing was first brought to the attention of the public. The re ceipt and shipments during January are slightly heavier than during the holidays, as Christmas time Is always dull, but they ore not heavier than the figures for De cember.

The southern roads then made their tariffs open at 12 cents. Tha people who will benefit by the fight are those who had on hand grain bought with the old rate in view and are in a position to ship it out before peace Comes in. Omaha elevator companies have consider able stocks. Dlreet Effect oa Shlpplaar. Since the cutting of rates began some cars of grain which were already loaded have been held on the track until the rate should go Into shippers. To hold these cars a demurrage charge is made by the road of $2 a day for each car. As the gulf rate has been reduced It Is supposed 6 cents, a saving over the old figures of about 30 a car can be made, so that the shippers can afford to hold cars for Ave or six days. The new rate is diverting some of the corn to the eastward, but the greater part of It continues to go south to New Orleans, Galveston and Port Arthur. The first Information most of the brokers and grain men In Omaha had of the rate outbteak was January 17, when the papers announced It. ' Chicago started an outcry and the Interstate Commerce commission Investigated the matter. It was then stated a midnight tariff bad been put in for certain Kansas City houses to move 1.400 cars of corn, the reduction being from 18 to 14 cents. Tha eastern rate from Chi cago at that time was 15 cents, so that nothing could be carried to the Atlantic seaboard. The former rata to European points via Baltimore and New Orleans wera from t to cents In favor of the southern port. When the reduction was made tha advantage of the gulf amounted to I or 10 cents. January 23 It was announced the eastern roads and the Chicago-Omaha carriers had decided at a conference to meet the cut. givlr.g the western traffic officials authority to do what was ncesary to divert gulf corn. The result, aa now announced In tha pre, seems to maks tha rata for aa- METCALF ISJLAID TO REST Pnaeral ot the I.ate Jobber Is At tended by Large Coseoarat ot Sorrowlug Friends. The memory of J. M.

GOES AFTER PARENTAL DELINQUENTS Home Influence to Be Made Respon sible for Chlldrea anal Probation Officers for Omaha to Be Given Salaries. The joint committee representing the Real Estate Exchange, the Woman's club, the Woman's Christian Temperance union and the Douglas county bar association met yesterday afternoon In the city hall and agreed on certain additional provisions for the juvenile criminal court bill which they hope will become a law during this sesalon of the legislature. II. W. Pencock will go down to Lincoln Monday morning to confer with Senator Mockett for the Incorporation of the ideas of Judge Llndsey of the Denver child's court in the N&braaka bill. The Lincoln and the Omaha people are united In wishing to obtain a aw along the lines of Mr. Llndsey's suggestion, and senate file No. 6 which was Introduced by Mr. Mockett Is now found not to contain at least two of these ideas. The principal thing to be Insisted on In the new bill will be the responsibility of parents and other persons who may have been found to have contributed In any way to the dellnquence of children. The bill will provide for such upon conviction a fine of not more than $1,000 or Imprison ment for not more than a year or both. These penalties may be conditioned and finally waived upon the promise of proper conduct on the part of the parent or other person. The first bill did not provide for any dellnquence on the part of parents. Pay for Probation Officers. 'The second most Important addition will be a salary for the probation officer. The first bill provided for services without com pensation but the new one following the suggestions of Judga Llndsey provides for a salary of )1,200 with un allowance of expenses up to tuOO annually. This is for counties having a population of 100.000. There te to be a probation officer and an asslntant (one a woman) and the pay of the asaiHtant will be left to tha dlacretlon of the authorities. The amendments Include a broader defi nition of n delinquent or neglected child. Under this head will come any child undtr 1 yours who Is dependant on the public for support, lii homeless, destitute and abandonrd, hus not proper parental caro. who begs,' frequents houses of 111 fame or who through reason of neglect, cruelty or depravity la la aa unfit eortroament for a child, such as would Justify the state In assuming guardianship. Children who smoke, drink, wander the streets at night without an errand, frequent sa loons, houses ot 111 fame and gambling houses are considered to be without proper care. Any child who violates any state or municipal law, is Incorrigible, as sociates with thieves and immoral per sons, goes to Improper places, trespasses on railroad property, habitually uses ob scene language, or la guilty of Immoral conduct in a public place or school house, la also considered to be delinquent. Sections Not Seeded. It Is proposed to strike out sections 14, 18 and 18 as Irrelevant to the law, they forbidding the Incorporation of charitable Institutions which have not been approved by the State Board of Charities and Cor rections and forbidding out-of-state In stitutions placing children in the state without certain guarantee. The Judges of the district court are given original Jurisdiction and In their absence the county judge. The provisions of the bill are made mandatory. GARY RELEASED FROM JAIL Mental Coadltloa of Federal Prlsoaer Sura as to Warant His Discharge. Alfred L. Gary, who recently pleaded guilty to an Indictment charging "him with appropriating the contents of a letter ad dressed to a person of somewhat similar name In this city, has been released from Jail upon the recommendation of United States District Attorney Baxter because of his mental condition. Gary was found to be considerably off his mental balance by a physician appointed to examine into his mental condition, and that he was not morally responsible for the crime of which he pleaded guilty. He has now been In Jaihfour months, and the court officials are of the opinion that be has been sufficiently punished. as amenable for counterfeiting aa If he had mnde It out pf lead." In the coin In question the words "E I'nura" are made of letters of slse. The milling Is poor and the head of the Goddess of Liberty Is In distinct. The word "America" outside of the olive wreath appears flattened and larger than the rest of the sentence, "United States of," etc. Plurlbus Irregular HORSE GETS LONG END OF KICK Animal Suffering from Colic Lands oa Negro's Head and Breaks Leg. While ministering to his sick horse Archie Harvey, colored, living at 106 North Tenth street, was kicked on the head by the ani mal and severely Injured. In delivering the kick the animal misjudged the distance, slipped and broke a leg. When seen at his room Harvey facetiously remarked he thought the resistance of his head caused the damage to the horse's limb, but Police Surgeon Wlgton, who attended Harvey, thinks otherwise. Harvey was found In an unconscious condition on the floor of his stable at 6:30 a. m. It was known he went to the barn to attend his horse that had been suffering with colic.
