Arrciit of n Hiiceofwful Vlcllnilr.or on Dig Hcnlc Cowboy Joliiinoii IMcndB Death Kudo a JiiuvHult. The Open Ilonril. Yesterday morning the Oinnha board of trade hold its first session as an open board , the intention being to oinulato the example in the legitimate style which now obtains in the best estab lished commercial organizations in the cast. cast.Tho The hall was cleared of the chairs which have occupied the floor for some llino past. In their stead in four sec tions of tlio apartment stood high tables excellently ornamented and surmounted by richly colored marble slabs. Mem bers of the board and other citizens dropped in in twos and threes and when President Meyer called the board to order , among those present were : Messrs. Upton , Shriver , Brady , Wakolleld , Sheoly , Ilellman. Troxell , Merriam , Peck , Calm , Ilartnianii , Brunnor , Hitchcock , Medway , Wakefiold , Gib son , Martin , Gritlltts , Broatoh , Kohlers , Kvans Cottner , Speeht , Mar- Hhall , Lobeck , Gibhon , Clark , Taylor , McWhortcr , White of Pliittsmouth , and frovcral others. Several of these hud brought to the chamber samples of seed nnd grain. The llrst of these was Mr. White of Plattsmouth , who lugged in a good-slx-orl bag of barley which he de posited in a drawer in ono of the tables' Mr. Merriam of Ilimebaugh fc Merriam , was next with seven bags of No. 2 yellow corn , No. 2 rye , No. 2 white oats and ono of wheat. B. F. Troxell appeared with a quartette of tin boxes , ' containing samples of seeds the identity of which puzzled MHHO of the dealers. By the experienced eye of the BEE man these were known to bo millett , alfalfa , rcdtop and orchard grass. Examina tion of these samples consumed some time , and the regret was general that Joseph Garneau , who was expected , had not shown up with samples of Hour. While .standing around the tables homo of the members who had seen how things were done in eastern boards , took a couple of handfuls of the samples und scattering them over the heads of a number of the lookers-on , among whom was President Meyer , suggested that it was about time to open the session. Mr. Meyer placed Mr. Nattingcr in the calling board , and the work of the Hrst session of the open board was commenced. Mr. Nattinger commenced by mod- cstlv hinting to the members , bomo of whom supported themselves on the tables and others against the walls , that ho thought they'd "better get another boy" ono who was up to the business. But ho received all kinds of assistance from those who know and those who did not know all about the matter. Tie llrst asked for October corn , whether there was any to bo put up for Bale. But none was olTored. Ho then asked , amidst breathless silence and the curiosity of the oil-lookers , for offers of November corn. Mr Mer riam offered 6,000 bushels at 35e , which were bid for by Mr. Troxoll and raptured by Mr. White , of Plattsmouth at 351 cents. Some moro of the same corn was put and bought by McWhortor at 85 cents. Mr. Merriam then olTered.5,000 bushels of December corn at ill cents , and it was bought by Mr. Whito. There was then a call for October whcatbut none of it or that , either , of November or December was offered. Mr. Pock offered October oats at 27 cents , but no buyer could bo found. The same was the case with oats for November. Of December oats Mr. Merriam offered twonty-iivo cars at li" cents , and ton of these were bought by Mr. White at that price. May oats were passed and finally tno board took a turn with provisions. The Anglo-American Provision company olTored COO barrels of pork at $11.60 and these wore instantly gobbled up by Mr. Meday , of the Hammand Packing company. Another offer of 2" > 0 barrels nt the same price was accepted by the latter buyer. Mr. White then took a hand in offering , and put on the market it1 ton cars of No. 2 corn at 3I5J cents. There was a little bidding on this olTor , Mr. Pock offering 33 cents , Mr. Mer- X riam 331 , Mr. _ White expressing a. . will ingness to accept 3tje. ; The corn was knocked down to Mr. Merriam at ! ! 31c. This brought the day's sales to a close , nnd though the president announced that they had been light , still they were quite satisfactory. Ho stated that to-day a ticker would bo placed in the chamber , which would toll the rate of the markets in the east , although up to the opening of the board , these were marked t on the black board provided , for that purpose. Tno session will open at 11:30 : sharp in the morning. It is expected that before the end of the week , tlio members will have become so familiarized with the workingu of the now and exciting onter- prise. that wo shall have at homo a mon- ngorio of our own of bulls and bears. CAllTxMJTiToT.S. Why the State Hallway Commission Bay They Should Xot lie Ahollshcil. Commissioner Griflltts , of the Freight Bureau of the Omaha board of trade , has 'received the following from the State Railway commission at Lin coln. It is the advance argument which that body will inuko in-Washington about the middle of next month , before the intor-stato raihyay commission , in favor of a continuation of shipments to the west from the east of goods in carloads lots , for the aboli tion of which the commission has been petitioned by eastern jobbers. Ueforo tlio Intor-stato Commerce Commis sion of tlio United States of America : If , by thoclmngoof classification or other wise , tno differences In charges iniido by the railway companies on car-loads , and less than cur-loads of the same class of freight , Is ex tinguished , tlio Jobbing and niauufacturinc business of thu country will surely bo located la eastern cities. It is not just or right , or to the interests ol Nebraska , or any other western stuto that the net proceeds of all the labor and all the products should bo scat outside of its borders to build up other states and their cities. As great safeguards us | > ossiblo should bo thrown nroimd the industries of each conniioiiwealtli so that each may enjoy the bencllts of it ; own resources , that they may bo built up am ! remain in a prosperous condition. This I ; the course pursued by our government us t nation , and by all other nations , and to i great extent , it should bo followed by al states. The Rtato of Nebraska is purely agri cultural moro so than any other state in the union there being no coal or mineral pro ducts of any kind and no timber in fact nothing has been contributed by nature ex cept the rich soil und warai sunshine work lag hand in hund. with the husbandman The earnings of the farm are expended fo " " fuel brought from other states , wearing ap parel , articles of consumption und ngricul lurul Implements. AVheti it is considered that In the future , nil these tributes inust b < ? , paid to other states , the iiuestioa arises , "Oi 1 yrhftt must we depend to build upouriudu.i tew * M4 roUia Uw wealtU wxuUxl wituu * * * > _ * . ' our borders ! " Certainly cities must bo built up as they are the safety dcnosits of wealth. They are the tnule centers where the jobbers nud manufacturers are located , and , without thcdo enterprises , there will be. no cities. How can jobbers bo maintained and manufactories promoted within the state ! Hrun only bo done by a favorable condition of railway rates there Is no water or other transporta tion facilities therefore , on the railways ulono depends the future of Nebraska. How can Jobbcw and manufacturers bo protected by railways ! They can bo pro tected by making the rate on car loads lower per hundred iK > undn than on goods In less than car loads. The jobber buys and ships sugar , syrup , canned goods , coffee , fruit , agricultural Implements and ail other articles in large quantities , handles them at his place of business and distributes them in small quantities to adjacent towns. The manufac turer brings his coal , lumber , iron , steel , paints , glass and other articles In car loads , employs thousands of men In manufacturing merchantable articles to supply the homo de mands throughout the state. The railroad companies have , heretofore , Jnailo marked differences between car load and less than car load rates. These differ ences were the result of long years of exper ience and it was the result of fair business conclusions after long contact between the railroads and the public , being for the best Interests of both. Based on this practice of railroads , jobbing and manufacturing Inter ests have started up , and their promoters huvo struggled for jcars to develop them ; they hinged their faith on the protective rates they had enjoyed theretofore and It Is not reasonable or just that they should bo destroyed , and fall as victims to the selfish greed of Chicago. St. Louis , New York and other eastern cities. Jobbing and manufacturing establishments are a necessity. Merchants in small towus In Nebraska cannot conveniently order goods from New York and eastern cities because the time consumed in fllliug the order ( about two weeks ) is too gie.it , while an order sent to a local trade center is received within forty-eight hours. If the retailer was compelled , by the absence of homo establishments , to order from distant cities , ho would bo compelled to carry larger stocks , or not have the goods to meet the wants of his customers. In most cases this would drive the present retailer out of exis tence lu a business way , because It would take much greater capital to conduct trade , and he tvould be unable to establish credit lu distant cities. The local jobbers practically carry all the retail trade of the state. Again , the retailer would bo compelled , several times during the year , to make long , tedious and expensive trips to purchase goods , consequently quently the margins must be greater , the consumer must pay moro , anil the present very satisfactory manner of transacting bus iness would bo completely upset , and with damaging results. The railroads have adopted the practice of making n differential per hundred pounds In favor of car-loads , as an economical measure if their , expense is increased ( assuming that the present system of rates is reasonable ) , the rates per hundred iKMinds must bo advanced. Shipments made in car-loads are loaded at point of shipment directly into the car by shippers , anil un loaded from the same ear at destination. The freight makes better time in transit , is not transferred , and is therefore in better condi tion. Thus , there is a saving to both trans portation company and the shipper. Again , a car loud of straight freight of single com modity will average .M.IXHI pounds , while car loads | of mixed freight will only average - ago lliKX ( ) pounds , the weight of the car being - ing llxcd ut 'JO.OOU pounds , the difference in a train of straight and mixed freight is very htriking. In the QJIO the weight of the goods predominates , in the other the weight of the ears. While this gieut differ ence Is not of so much importance on short hauls , It is a very largo item of expense when it is considered that the haul from seaboard points to points in Nebraska average lr > 00 miles , and from Chicago ( MX ) miles. The present difference between fourth .ml fifth classes between Chic.igo and No- irusku points is but li cents IH.T 100 pounds. , Vhilu this ought to bo just and fuir to points 11 Illinois and eastern Iowuitccrtulnlyshould lot bo extended on the same basis to points 11 Nebraska , but should bo increased to at east 10 cents per UK ) pounds , rather than liminished from ( i cents to a lower ligurc.

The case of Jim Stcphenson against the cable railway , requesting an order restraining the defendant from laying track in front of the plaintiff's place of business , corner of Harnoy and Tenth street , was on trial before Judges Wake- loy and Groff yesterday. Messrs. Doane and Pritehott appeared for the plaintiff andGoneralCowinlorthocompany. Itis said by the defendant that the Omaha Ilorso railway company is backing Mr. Stephenson inasmuch as its attorney represents thu complainants and Mr. Marsh of the llorso railroad was a very prominent witness for the injunction. A I'KCUUAUV1II , . Ill the county court the will of Moses O. Talcott was refused _ probate on ac count of informality , the principal reason being that there was only one witness.

Ho presented himself nt the wholesale boot and shoo house of Kirkcndall , Jones fc Co. , representing that he was about to launch out in the merchandise business in this vicinity , and inquired whether they could rotor him to a favorable locality. Ho wns recommended to Shelby , Iowa. Ho went there , came back hero , and informed the firm that ho had decided to establish himself there , and that the outlook for n lucrative business was extremely Haltering. Ho then ordered u bill of goods to the extent of 8-100. submitting a written statement of his assets , and paying $100 cash. Next ho turned up ut the Robin son Notion company. Hero ho wanted $1,50(1 ( worth of goods , giving Kirkon- dall , Jones & Co. as reference. Ho ob tained the goods. At Sloan , Johnson & Co. , Gilmore & Ruhl , Max Meyer & Co. and M. K. Smith < fc Co. , ho also pecurcd bills of goods by similar representations. Then ho returned to Shelby and opened up his establishment with a great llourish of trumpets. Hfs business prospered in sueli a way that within a month ho was enabled to return to this city and make a cash pay ment on the goods ho had purchased to eaeh of his creditors. Then ho ordered more goods and went back to his bon- nir/a at Shelby. But instead of jiro- ceeding right along with the amassing of u fortune , ho quietly , yet expeditiously - ously , loaded up his entire establish ment on wagons and disappeared with it. His action was reported to the Omaha firms and immediate stopa taken for the rascal's arrest and recovery of the goods. He was traced to Centorvillo , D. T. Hero he was arrested , but sub sequently released by the stupid sheriff , who claimed that ho had no legal grounds on which to hold Berghoff , his information having only been obtained through a private telegram. Of course , ho skipped the country. The services of Detective Moynihan , of Omaha , were "lore called into requisition , and he has i ad a long , arduous and xeiting chuso , nil over the ast , into Canada , south and , hen back into the west , and not until .londay . last was ho arrested. This took ilaeo at Chicago , by members of the 'inkerton force , into whoso waiting rms ho fell as ho jumped off the sleeper in the Michigan Central. Berghoff is low safely ensconced in the county ail , and is evidently fated for a trip lown the road. Ho is a handsome man , if line address , and unquestioned busi- less ability , yet noted as ono of the hrowdcbl and most successful confidence nen in the country. Detective Moyni- .itin . has the credit of a line piece of , vork. THIS FJlONTItiU SI1AKK MOWN. rel I in I nary Hearing ol ° Johnson I'or Impersonating a U. S. Marshal. T. C. Johnson , the big Broken Bow owboy , who was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal ShowaHer and brought into this city Saturdaychargcd with impersonating a United States illlcer and extorting money from Jarker , the road agent who held up Major Bash , the United States paymas- or , wua arraigned before Commissioner t\.ndorson yesterday morning. Ho was 'opro&cnted by Parko Godwin , and plea ded not guilty. A rigid investigation was entered into. Johnson , himself claims that the whole affair is a put up job on him ; that he has some very bit ter enemies in and about Broken Bow , and on divers occasions they have made dire threats against him. Ho further claims that several of tlieso parties are In collusion with certain authorities , sind that the robbery of Parker is a piece of their combined malicious work. However , there are witnesses who will testify that Johnson and mother man , name unknown , did aetu- illy go through the form of arresting Parker under the guise of United States mashals , but upon extracting something like $1,500 from the robber , released him on condition that ho would keep a close mouth and leave the coun try. Parker , however , has testilied that ho gave up his money to Johnson , or his "pal , in fear of extreme bodily harm. They got the drop on him ill an out-of-the-way place and made him a prisoner. Ho was onto their game , and knew that their sole purpose was to rob him , no matter how desperate the means they should be compelled to resort to , and ho proposed to buy his liberty and named his terms all the money ho had with him and immediate departure from the coun try. This ho had no intention of doing. He has an old head , if ho is young in years , and ho adopted this ruse in order to gain his release. But ho never in tended to leave the country. Ho is ono of those desperate characters whoso life has been ono continuous series of crime on the frontier , to whom revenge is always sweet. Ho "had it in" for Johnson and his pal , so ho testified in his trial at Cheyenne , and resolved to got oven if it coit him a long tormor oven his life. Ho was arrested , though , by Marshal Cook , a bona lido officer be fore an opportunity offered , and realiz ing that it was all up with him ho peached , and Johnson was arrested , but his partner is still at largo. Parker , it will bo remembered , was convicted of highway robbery at Cheyenne for the paymaster joband sent to the territorial prison. In consequence of the import ance of his deposition and the evidence of several parties at Ghoyonno and Bro ken Bow , Johnson's preliminary trial was continued until Saturday next. DKATH KXDS IT. The Dorun IlaheiiH Corpus Drought to an UiiexiiccletlTerinliiatioii. All unexpected termination has been attained in the habeas corpus case of Doron in the district court , caused by the death of the little girl who was the occasion of the suit. The plaintiff was the father. The child was about two years of ago. Since her birththo father mid mother had disagrcad , the former claiming improper conduct on the part of the mother. Yet , the mother placed the child with the sisters of charity , who nro conducting the half-or phan asylum now temporarily lo aded in what was formerly known as the Cosmopolitan on South Thirteenth street. After the child hud been placed with the sisters , the fathci callcu and demanded that it bo delivered to him. The bisters , having received the little girl from the mother , declined to comply with the demand , whereupon the father took the matter to the courts , the case being given n prcliminnrj hearing by Judge G roll. The result of this hearing wus that the sisters were ordered to retain possession of the child until t final order should bo Issued , the courl holding that it appeared the child would bo moro tenderly cared for by them thai by cither of its Jpuronts. Both of the latter have , however , from tirao to time been permitted to see It , They ( worc told of Us illness when it was brought t < the asylunuauQ though the liltlo OIK was tenderly cured tor , her death occur red o'o last i'ridr.y night. This settles i vexed question , th6 end of which other wise would not soon have boon reached. The funeral took place from Bnrrett & Hcafy's umloi'tnking establishment yesterday afternoon ut 2 o'clock , the father and inothoi-sustaining the expen ses. It is said thttt this death has recon ciled all dillleultiuB heretofore existing between the parents. TWO Ol ? A KIND. Cora Hnrtmnn anil Nellie Uotli Again Hcforo the'Police Court. Cora Hartman nnd Nellie Roth , the two little incorriyibles , were bcforo Judge Berku yesterday morning. They nro a couple of as complete specimens of total depravity us could bo furnished by the Seven Diuls of London. The girls , aged fourteen and fifteen respectively , for months have been the consorts of low and vicious men , sleeping in box-cars , sheds or the open air , as the cuso might bo , and leading lives whoso shamelessness - ness is really incredible. Despite their depraved condition , both retain much of their former comliness , for in fact both have been lovely children. Now they smoke , drink , chow and swear witli the gusto of deck hands on a canal boat , and are evidently past ull redemp tion. This time they were up for street walking , and Cora Hurtmun was called up first. As she stepped forward , a lady , Mrs. H. M. Cook , of Cali fornia street , made her appearance before the magistrate and told the judge that if ho would give her ono moro chance she would tnko her , give her u , homo and employment and do everything within human power to re claim and reform her. The court was reluctant , knowing Unit desperate eases required desperate remedies , and that Cora's is an extremely desperate case , but ho finally yielded and turned the child over to Mrs. Cook , with the ad monition that if she ever appeared before - fore him again her destiny would bo the reform school. The Roth girl was not so fortunate and the court remanded her to the female department , pending her removal to the reformatory. The llnrlicrt * ' Association.

More than one-half of our second floor is devoted to their display and the prices we have marked them at were never known in the history of the trade. We are showing boys' suits , at $1.6O that our competitors say are cheap at $3.00. They are strong and nice winter suits , plaited and well gotten up. For $2.25 we have a splendid fancy cheviot suit , elegantly made up , which would be cheap at $4.50. But the greatest of all bargains is our all wool cassirnere suit at $2.5O. This is beyond a doubt as good a suit as was ever offered at double this price. We placed 250 of them on our counters last week and had to telegraph for more. We have again all sizes. In finer grades we show a large variety of silk mixed cassimere chev iots and worsteds elegantly trimmed and made. Boys' overcoats we offer from $1.35 for as good a coat as you can buy elsewhere for $3.00 up to the finest grades of chinchillas and cassi- meres , which , in style and make , are the product of the most skillful and artistic cutters and tailors. All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price. Nebraska Clothing Co. , Corner Douglas and 14th , Streets , Omaha , OMAHA N. W. Comer of 13th and Dodge Streets.
