centage of - prisoners are improved by
Prison sentences uader our present sys

The first coat of tnduatrtal farm would
be soon repaid by large savings effected

dred and Nlae at Dollar
Tfclrty-Two.
Wheat on tha Omaha Uraln exchange
set another new high mark when a car
of Durum sold at 11.33 per buahcl. This
waa the highest price at which any kind
of grain ever sold. The previous high
mark wa on May 22, 1900, when a car of
No. t hard sold at $1.32 per buahel
All around wheat was up 1 to 1H cents.
No. t selling at from $1.16 to $1.17. Corn
followed wheat In Its upwsrd course, sell
ing at 80 to C2 cents, an advance of three
fourths of a ornt. Oats were strong snd
sp ono-fourlh to one-half of a cent, sell
ing at 46 to 464 centr.
Whllo receipts were not a recorj, they
were about the heaviest of the year, there
being 230 cars of wheat, as against $08 at
Chicago and 108 at St. Louis. There were
228 cars of corn, as against twenty-sis at
Kansas City and 127 at St. Louis.
From now on dealers anticipate heavy
receipts of corn and moderately heavy re
ceipts of wheat, anticipating that owing
to the enormous Increasing demand, prices
cannot go lower. Then, too, they con
tend, the home demand will soon make
Itself more kenly felt, which will have a
tendency to stlmuate prices.

Snow Storm Does Not
Affect RaUroads as
Much as Expected
The Sunday anowxtorin waa not so
fevers on the railroads as officials had
anticipated. While It was light, it drifted
but little, either here or out In the state
or over in Iowa As a reault trains were
pretty well cn their schedules.
The North western's train from Pt. Paul
was an hour late, the Rock Island from
the esst. three-quarters of an hour and
the t nlon Pacifies Los Afigeles Limited
eight hours late. Trains on all other roads
came and went on time.
The lateness, however, ot the Vnlon
Pacific train wns not dus to snow or
bad weather, but wss caused by a wreck
at Bushnrll, a station In the extreme'
western yart ot the state.
At Bushnell a freight was standing on
the main line, hrsded east. The Loe
Angrles came along moving at about five
miles per hour, and the engine bumped
Into the caboose of the freight, knocking
It off the track and delnylng traffic eluht
hours The daman . was slight and the
only person Injured wss Fireman Kopp
of the psswnger train, who ws som
h.i bruised. The cause of the tall-end
collision has not been explained, but It
i- that somebody Ignored the
automatic block signal.
