Mr. J. E. Holder , tlio purchaser of the
El&omim stoclc of.trooJs , Is actively making
arrangements to reopen tlid store. The date

cided upon , but the energetic innnticr In
which the work of preparation Is going on
Indicates Unit only n few days can clupso

Tlio nctlvo work of preparation only hcjjun
yesterday afternoon , It was continued until
ti o'clock , mid then a hurried supper was
cntcn arid the now proprietor , ns lstcd by nil
the old clerks and n number of the now ones ,
worked until nearly midnight. In answer to
the question when thu store would bo opened ,
Mr. Holder said : " 1 cannot say definitely ,
for there Is lots of work to bo done.
AH the goods will liavo to ho ROIIO over mid
remarked Wo will put every nvixllablo clerk
lit , this uork nnd keep them nt It until it Is
finished , but when ttmt will bo I cannot s > uy.
N ot IonK , however.Vo Intend to sell every
dollar's worth of the Roods on this market ,
nnd I wish Tin : Hic would correct n ground
less rumor thai is afloat to the oiled
th.it part of the goods will bo boxed
up nnd shipped away. This Is abso
lutely untrue. They will all ho sold
hero. Wo hcllovo wo made a big InvoUmen t
when wo purchased $ l3i",000 ! worth of poods
for $70,000 , and wo think tlio public will np-
prcclato our Inceptions. There Is a great
tloui to bo done , hut wo will do It In the short
est possible time. When it is completed the
great store will bo opened , aud wo hope to
llnd trmiosutllclcntly profitable to warrant
us In making Council UlufT * our permanent
headquarters hi the mercantile world. "
Thnro Is n good deal of interest felt In the
determination of the Eisoimm's in regard to
the future , : uid nil sorts of rumors are in clr-
calatlon. Spcaktne of the matter yesterday
aftcinoon Simon Klsonian spoke promptly
nnd positively. "What nro wo goinRtodol
Hctnnin tight here In Council Dlufts , where
all of our Interests lie , and where our homes
have been for many years , where I was mar
ried and where my children \vero
born. - We have some acquaintance
with commercial affairs , and know
something about the dry goods
business , ntid wo hnvo a peed many friends
iu tlio business world. Neither Hurry nor
myself were ever idle a day in our lives , nnd
wo will not bo content to remain still very
long now. What wo do will bo done right
hero in Council Bluffs , and wo hope it will bo

own. There nro plenty of goods to bo pur

faith In the city of our choice. I can say
nothing further than this , unless It bo to em
phasize moro fully the fact that wo have not

She IH tlio Source of Much Trouble
to Her Adopted Parents.
The lollowlng telegram was received last
night by THE Br.c from St. Louis :
Girl thirteen years old found here In boy's
clothes. Says bur homo Is at 1010 llitrnoy
Ktreet. Her father's iinmo U August Schmidt.
Tliu Klrl lun anny from the convent at Nor-
inauily , Mo.
A reporter for TUB BKR called at 1010 Har-
ncy street last night nnd talked with Mrs.
Schmidt. She said the girl referred to in the
telegram was an adopted child and Is almost
sixteen years old. bho was adopted by Mr.
niKiMrs. Schmidt fourteen years ago In St.
Joseph , Mo. She is the illegitimate child of
a fallen woman , and Mrs. Schmidt says they
took her off the street In rags and have tried
togivo her a good education. About six
years ago the girl began to manifest incor-
ilplDlo tendencies and they decided to
send her to the convent of the
Good Shepherd , kept by the Sisters
of "Mercy la St. Louis. They have sup
ported her at the convent , nnd but a few
weeks ago , Just before Christmas. Mrs.
Schmidt said she sent her a box of clothing
and received n very nice letter in response In
which the girl said she was doing well and
had joined the Sodality ot the Blessed
Virgin. She stated that she was living u
very pure Ufa and hoped , to provo hersell
worthy of the love nnd kindness that had
been bestowed upon her.
Mrs. Schmidt was very much worried cvor
the fact that the girl persists In claiming to
bo her daughter , and salct :
" 1 have repeatedly told her that she mast
not bo known by our name.'o have done
all wo could to make her respectable , but she
scorns to have wickedness born in her.
Three years ago 1 thought I would bring her
homo a while. She was not hero a month until
I caught her stealing and doing other things
a great deal worse , no I beat her hack to the
convent. She has been a &ourco of a great
deal of trouble to us , and I fear all my efforts
to lift the child out of sin and degradation
have bcon disregarded.
OJMECT8 ,
Satisfactory Work or tiio Conference
of fjlnficod Oil Mon.
Nuw YOUR , Jan. 20. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BIK. : ] The Unseed oil men finished
tuelr conference today and adjourned , having
accomplished the objects for which they came
together. Ono of these objects was an ad
vance in thd price of jthelr product and , as a
result of the meeting , a now scale of rates
was adopted , to tnko effect i mined lately.
It involves an advance of about 1
cent per gallon. For Buffalo nnd the west ,
the now rate Is 52 cents ; for iVow York mid
Pennsylvania , 5a cents ; for the seaboard
cities , except Boston aud other Now England
ports , 51 cents , and for Boston aud New
England , fto cents.
To end what was termed the unmorcnnttlo
„
action of some of the houses In the trade was ,
however , the great purpose ot the conven
tion , and this was brought about , A sore
point with many of the manufacturers has
been the fact that some of their brethren , es
pecially those in the west , have been making
contracts fur ahead , in fact to the end of the
season In July. Much of the time of the ses
sion was devoted to dealing with the prob
lem thus presented and It was solvoU by ar
ranging to take care of those contracts. Some
of them have been transfored nnd , in that way ,
the various manufactures hnvo been brought
into a moro contented state of mind. No
association was formed , It was declared , nnd
tUoso who entered into the anangomont wore
not put under bonds to carry out their
promises of co-operatlou. There was no
division of territory among those present. A
committee was appointed , however , to act as
a sort of board of arbitration In case of dispute
under the agreement. Everybody picscnt
nt the meeting agreed to follow the ulan
adopted. The concerns represented have n
capital of about f'il.UOO.OOO nnd nro claimed to
Include all the linseed oil houses of any im
portance in the country except three or four.
These have boon taken care of , however , in
the arrangement aud they uro expected to
fall into lino.
Colonel Thompson , president of the load
trust , which represents about one-eighth of
the linseed oil production of the. country , said
today that no attempt would bo made to
restrict production. On the contrary , efforts
would bo made to Increase both the pro
duction and consumption.

when ho attempted to bring tliatu Into this
county , the whole count } turned out with
shotguns and resolutions In their hearts to
mnko an end of Lamb forthwith. A warrant
has been Issued for bis arrest , and the matter
will bo thoroughly Investigated in court.
