Western (rain Is O. K." say ths local
arm In men who taks little stock In bear
stories. Nor do tey look for Immediately
higher prices. They would wetcome them,
as would everyone else, for ths Omaha
elevators are well filled with (rain.
Friday morning was stored In these ths
following:
Wheat. 8O.000 bushels; corn, 80.000 bush
els; oats. 1,383.000 bushels.
In addition to this long lines are stored
In line houses. The Trans-M Isslaslppl
Grain company, for example, baa 1.100,000
bushels of oats stored up In the country.
Against all this grain the Omaha men
have 'hedged." They own the grain and
have sold options against It for May de
livery, if the price got up they win, If
It sinks they stand to lose a little.
Rome farmers seem to be getting their
grain to market. John Wagner of Lan
caster county la one of many tnstanoes
who could be cited. Mr. Wsgner was on
the Grain exchange floor Friday offering
to aeil 6.000 bushels of wheat, part of tbe
crop be raised on hts too acres. These SOD
acres are worth $71,000 If worth a cent, so
Mr. Wagner, who used to be a famous
cattle exporter. Is a sample of tbe well-to-do
farmer who Is willing to sell his grain.
Petaand for grain U the dullest In years,
say all brokers. The great surplus Is the
cause of this. Louisiana and Tennessee
and other south, and southeastern states
which ordinarily buy heavily In this mar
ket at this time of year have big corn
crop of their own and their own local
markets. When their home-ralsrd corn Is
used up they will be In the market to buy.
But they are not now. This Is but one
Illustration of why demand Is now slack.
Tlie holiday season Is also partly respon
sible for the prevailing dullnees In dmand.
Moneywelght scales were Inaccurate and
unreliable and advised the plaintiffs to
maintain In court their stand against the
Moneywelght scales; that the defendant
promised to reimburse the plaintiffs for all
expense of fighting the cause In case they
should be defeated. '
Blnce the courts held that the charges
of lnaocuraoy and unreliability against the
Moneywelght scales were unwarranted and
ruled against Dahlman and Pegg they now
ask the Toledo Computing Scales company
to fulfil Its promise to "make good" the
loss.

Aftermath of the unsuccessful fight
waged against the Moneywelght 6Vales

City Inspector of Weights and Measures
John Trag. appeared in district court Fri
day In Die form of a suit by Dahlman and

expended by the plaintiffs In fighting the
Moneywelght concern. Judgment In the
sum of 11.44 Is askeJ.
Borne months ago Dahlman and Pegg
were about to withdraw the city's stamp of
approval, which had been placed upon the
Moneyweigi.t company's scales. The
Moneywelght cmiany Instituted Injunction
iroceedtngs to prevent any such action.
The mayor and Pegg made resistance, but

Some Epicao and Take His
Money.
Roy Craig, a farmer boy, came to Omaha
to "see the town."
Some of the town boys saw him coming.
Roy had some drinks, a few games of
pool and one large dose of Ipecac, taken
on the advice of his friends, all for $100.
The lad was playing pool and taking
drinks with his new found friends at the
Metropolitan pool hall, Sixteenth street
and Capitol avenue. That last drink made
him feel "woozy." In fact the table would
not stand still and the balls flocked to
gether strangely.
"Take a good Jolt of Ipecac." said one of
the players. "It will straighten you out."
He did. It did.
When Craig regained consciousness and
control of his Interior economy he was
short friends, coat and pocketbook.

Memorial Stamps
for Charles Dickens
Plan is Started to Raise Some Funds
for the Descendants of the
Writer.
The admirers of Charles Dickens have
Inaugurated a plan for a Dickens Memorial
fund which will express a debt of grati
tude to the estate of the great humorist
and will make up for the fact that he
was never given the full privileges of copy
right and was unable to leave a compe
tence to his descendants. There are now
living three children and seventeen grand
children of his family, and soma of them
are In straitened clrcumstanoes.
During hts lifetime Dickens' novels were
widely read In America and their sales
brought huge profits to American pub
lishers, but nothing to the author. There
are copies of them scattered over the
Whole United States, and It la the purpose
of this memorial committee to get every
owner of a Dickens book to fix In It a
memorial stamp. These stamps are to
cost J cents apiece. They are handsomely
engraved book plates, with the Inscription,
"A Tribute to Genius. 1S11-1912, Centenary
Testimonial, Charles Dickens."
It Is estimated that there are U. 000,000
copies of Pickens' works In the homes
of English speaking peoples and the rev
enue that can be raised from fixing In
most of them the S cent stamps wtll
amount to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
In England the movement was started
by the Strand magaxlne and In the United
States It will be managed by Francis
Arthur Jones, honorary secretary, who
can be addressed at the New York Press
club.
On the memorial committee are many of
the most prominent literary men on both
sides of ths Atlantlo, and a world-wide
movement will be started In the year 1111.
