The Open Ilonril.

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.

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.

It KcHtiltH 111 the Capture of A Slick
Confidence Man.
Louis P. Berghoff came to this city
last August. 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

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.

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.

Placed before the public such a stock of boys' and children's clothing as
we are showing this season. 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.
