A sudden movement was made In tlio Else-
man store yesterday afternoon that occa
sioned n sensation , All departments of the
building were crowded with shoppers and the
clerks wcro on the jump. A conference was
uolup held in the private olllco , attended by
Mr. IIolJcu and sex-oral other gentlemen ,
among whom wcro some prominent Omaha
merchants. The nature of the conference
was indicated moment later , when mi order
was given to close the door. ) and admit no
jnoro customers. The pcoplo in the store
wcro allowed to complete their pur
chases , but after Imlf an hour had elapsed
orders were elvcn to the clerics to ccaio sell
ing goods. The announcement then made
that the cntlro stock had boon sold to Omntia
parties and that no inoro goods would bo sold
0111 the stock In Council Hinds.
Tiio announcement created a sensation and
there were many disappointed people who
had put off their shopping until Monday
afternoon.
Mr. Holder was Interrogated hv n reporter
for Tin : ItKiins to the nature of the deal.
"Tho entire stock had Doon sold In it lump
to Oinnlm parties , and the poods will betaken
taken across the river and sold at Hoyden
Urotners' . The snlojwos n purely business
transaction , hut It was not made because wo
feared that wo would bo unable to dispose of
the immense amount of gauds in tlio short
tlmo necessary to a prolitablo business. We
bought tlio stock for the\ purpose of making
money , and It made no difference to us if wo
sold It at wholesale or retail. Our retail
sales wore unprecedented.Vo have been In
thl" business for the past eighteen years and
have sold out such stocks In cities and towns
in nil parts of the country , butour Business
hero was record-breaker. It has
quadrupled our expectations. The suc
cess attracted attention all over the
country , mid was of such magnitude as to
attract the attention of tUo commercial pa
pers , , where the first three days' sales are re
ferred to as unprecedented in retail business.
This remarkable record attracted the atten
tion of wholesale buyers , and the consequence
quence was that many otters wore mada to
us , mid iieROtintlons have been pending with
various , parties for several duys. Several
propositions came from Chicago. The final
proposition was made today , and tbo deal was
closed up within live minutes ,
" \Vo have only the kindliest feelings for
Council JilafTs , and wo dlsliko to see the
stock leave the eity. Considering tlio Im
mense business done and the number of pco
plo encaged It is remarlcnblo that there was
so little friction. Our clerks wore faithful
and cflicicnt , and Mr. Wiseman's old employes
have earned a splendid reputation for them
selves in our estimation , "

CAMIIIIIDOD , Neb. , Fob. 9. [ Special Tele

flagration visited this place last night. About
2 o'clock Kankin Bros.1 ice house was dis
covered in flames , and it was only a
few minutes In communicating to their
meat shop nnd Hanning & Stevens
general merchandise store , quickly reducing
them to ashes with their contents. A ter-
rifle hliz/ard was raging nil day and night ,
and but for the heroic efforts of our citizens
the whole business portion of town would
have boon entirely destroyed. The
meat shop and tools were insured
for300. There was no insurance on the Ice
house , but most of the ice was saved and the
general merchandise stock was insured for
$ -J,500. The building was the property
of Mr. Armstrong of ( Julbertbon.
It will be rebuilt nt once. The
origin of the llro is unknown , but the fre
quency of llres hern of late and all occurring
on Sunday night , too , is making the pcoplo
do a good deal of hard thinking as to the
cause.

their removal is caused through tlie machina

WASHINGTON' , Fob. R [ Special Telegram

tor Stanford Is not a candidate for the presi
dency would better watch the papers. Any
close student of the newspapers of the day
will not fail to observe that the senator's
bopm is on. His literary bureau is at work.
Not content with employing a score or more
of California writers , who are sounding his
praises from Vancouver's ' Island to Key West ,
ho lias been lucky enougti to secure the ser
vices of George Alfred Townsend , who is
sending out in syndicate form it four-column
screed containing on interview with the
senator upon every subject under the sun.
In that happy , dlscussivo way which Mr.
Townsend well knows how to employ , ho
interviews Mr. Stanford upon the prape crop
In California , upon the land boom In Los
Angeles , upon the growth of his great uni
versity , upon the size of wine vats , upon the
complacency of the California legislature ,
upo'n theory and principles how best to run a
commercial railroad In nn agricultural coun
try , upon who ought to succeed Uncla George
Hearst if the latter should die , and finally
upon whether anybody in California needs to
borrow money from the government nt 2 per
cent upon his land holdings. The senator
freely aumlts that ho owns lands In California
In fee simple equal to the whole area of the
state of Connecticut , but himself does not
cnro to borrow any money on it. Mr.
Townscui ] does not seem to have put the
question to the senator whether lie has money
to loan to his less fortunate neighbors , and
therefore It must bo assumed that ho has not.
By the way , It Is said that Mr. Stanford's
interview cost the Stanford literary bureau
$ oOO and expenses.

Si'iitxariKLii , 111. , Fob. 9. Tlio joint com-
mltteo appointed by the thirty-sixth gonor.il
assembly to invo3tlRHto the subject of pris
ons , otc. , will mulco a lengthy report to both
houses tomorrow. On the subject of convict
labor the committee says that almost any In
dustry which ciin bo profitably carried on by
private parties can bo conducted with equal
success In prison if the authorities In chnrfio
are possessed of adequate business experience
and capacity. His Inconceivable tuat the people
ple of Illinois should wish convicts to bo
Idle while undcrKoIng sentences for crime.
As a constitutional amendment prohibits con
tract hibor , tlio Koncrul assembly must pro
vide whatever funds necessary to conduct
the labor of convicts upon state accounts.
The selection of the industries to bo followed
must bo loft to the judgment of the prison
authorities , unfettered by instructions from
the legislature. The injury resulting from
tlio competition of convict and free labor
might bo reduced to a minimum by certain
legislative restrictions , but all such restric
tions would hinder the freedom of choice
of the authorities in the selection of
a prolitablo industry and might result in
financial disaster to the state. The general
assembly is therefore advised to waste no
.lino in discussion of the question of n pur-
.iculur industry or industries to bo adopted ,
jut to leave this to the discretion of the
irlson authorities and miiko an apnroprln-
.ion of sufllolent amount to cnablo
.hem to employ the jirisoners nt such
ndustries ns promise profitable pecu
iary results. The committee also
treats nt ( 'rcnt len th of reformatory
cilselplfiio in prison mid recommends the
adoption in Illinois of the Khnini , N. Y , ,
l > lun , which has been adopted In several
) ttior states. It recommends the establish
ment of a reformatory prison , either as u
separate Institution or by the conversion of
ono of the existing penitentiaries , with
proper limitation for ao of the inmates to bo
received , separation of first offenders from
linriloned criminals , the mnrlc system , grades
and paroles.
