During August there \\i\s n decline , and on September 1 the market had dropped back to & > again. Tlicro was but little change in September niul October , but in Nov cmbor the market began to look up and on December 5 It struck ? 0 ag.iln , and advanced steadily throughout the month. January G , just ono month later , $7 was | .ald. The majority of the farmers be- llo\cd that this buleo In the market was only temporary and they hurried oft to mar- hot all the hogs Unit \\oro lit. From early In January , however , the advance - vance was rapid , and on the 30th of the month the price baa reached fS. This ptico was boond the most extravagant dream of the farmer who had been soiling for years for JJ and $ -1. The top notch was i cached in Fobruaiy , when pi ices touched $3 l Ki the highest mat ket over had at tlio South Omaha jauls , Then a decline set in and continued until the latter part ot March , when the best hogs brought less thai. $7. Early in Apill the top was close down to $0 , but prices Old not tarry long at this mark , for bcfoio the month was over they wcro piy- IngST again. Prices held up well in May until the break came , as show n in the table above. Nobraslt'i Short on Hogs. i'horo Is no question but what there is a big shortage In hogs all over this western countiy. The very best evidence of this , fact is shown In the decrease in receipts , with "out of sight" prices , ng.tinbt the re ceipts in Ib'JJ , when $4 was the average piico paid. The following shows the re ceipts . : December , 1802 134,032 .I.inuuy. 180.5 120.170 Tobru.iry , 1803 79.0.24 Total 333,232 December , 1H91 220,335 Jilllll iry , 1802 201.557 1'ebiuury , 1802 127,449 Total 555,343 Decrease 222,110 It is quito evident that the farmers have come to appreciate their breeders , as none of them are now being marketed. The bulk of the hos ; now coming in are joung burows. Occasionally them will bo a small bunch of heavy sows , but only in cases where the sow has lost her litter. All sorts of leasons for the high hog market are given. In convcis.ition last evening ono mnn laid the whole blame to the stringency of the money market. Ho did not believe - liovo that the market would bo any lower , however , than it is now for a long , long time ; at least , not until the new crou came in along in October. Another commission man said that * ho fu ture Hoc market was entirely m the hands of the packers ; that there was not sufficient provisions in the country to supply the de mand for sixty dnis , and theioforo the packers had it all their own way. Continu ing , ho s.aid there are mighty fevy hogs in the country. The aallyConsumption is what is keeping the market up. Fully one-half of all the hogs that are now being killed aroused used in the fiesh moat consumption. It is my opinion that prices will not fall be low ยง 0 insitlo of a jear. There Is an im mense small fresh meat trade that must and will be supplied dally. The big dealers and packers are certainly not going to put any pork in their cellars ns long as prices re main anvthmg like as hiuh as they aio now. They will simply buy what they can or have already sold. No , I do not believe that the farmers have disposed of any of their breeders although the price was a Dig temptation. The run from now on is bound to bo light as the marketable suino are not in the country. The only bad effect that the strincrency of the money market has had on hogs is the fact that it will compel some to sell a little sooner than they would if they wcio not forced. Kllect of Tight Money. "Tho banks have tightened up the strings and aio collecting overythlne when it Is due , and nro also refusing to lend anv monov on any sort of sccuuty. This condition af fects the cattle men worse than the boa dcaleis. You can hurry up fat on a hog. but jou can't do that with a steer. Ono would think they had been feeding some of the hogs wo are getting now on strawberry shoitcako and lemon plo to sco them. Just think of a 10-montl.s-old pig weighing 80J pounds. Why , . I believe thnt some of the farmers have been letting their hogs occupy the front parlor fiom the clean , smooth looks of them. With this strong market wo nro not iccelving over 50 per cent of the average of the last flvo jcnrs. It will take a long time to make un the shortage. At least it will never occur in 1894 , The de mand has natuially Increased on account of the increase In population , nnd the demand for our poik In foielgn markets Is something gicat. The farmois foryeais iccolvcd such a low value for their hogs that they became caicless. They neglected their hoijs , because - cause thcio was nothing In raising them. They never thought of to Ing to lalso two litters u % v ear from one sow until the prices went up , but .von can but they nio looking after the coaifoit nnd wolfaio of their pockets nowadays " "IIojs are entirely too high In propoitlon to everything else , " said another man "Thero never was u time In ttio history of Nobiaska when a farmer could buy the ncccssailesof lifo as cheap ns ho can today , All the Implements Unit ho uses aio eh ca p and the prices ho gets for his other products aroentlrelyoutofllno with the money that Is now being offered jor hogs. Theioforo I do not bollovo that the present quotations will bo maintained for any great length of time , Yes , It is likely to tnko n long time for the country to stock up again with hogs ; that is to roach the condition of a 3 ear ago. " "Tofc'lvo jou nn idea of the shortage of hogs , " said n stockman , "I was Just talking to a farmer , w ho told mo thnt with twenty- four sows ho only saved twenty-two pigs , less than ono pig to n sow , The only w.iv of raising ono litter of pigs and scjllng their corn will bo abandoned now and the fanner vv ill keep his coin and raise two Utters a jcar whcioit is possible. In order to do this the furnicis w 111 spend n liUlq money in the way of linpiovemeiits , such as building sheds and cribs , but they nil tell mo that there will bo moro money in doing that than soiling the corn and letting the hogs mil out in the w eathcr. " Although there is a scarcity of pigs all over the country there nro moro of them in central nnd western Nebraska nnd central and western Kansas than in all Iowa , Mis souri and eastern Nebraska and eastern Kansas. In brief , a man in the hog business now dajs is considered respectable and can stop nt ono hotel for a whole weak without being asked to pay his bill in advance. bttino Old Nam.

Ho has earned i fortune Ilddllng , but after all these joars annot vet play n tune with or without rnuslo ; but in his line ho doesn't hnvo to > lny much music.

Ho is going to Chicago to com pete for the world's championship in quick composing and Is confi dent that ho will got it. Ho saves every cent ho gets hold of and docs not drink. In Oregon years ago ho got hold of a timber claim and with the nickels and dimes that 1 lie > has picked up placing his iiddlo on the streets ho saved enough to pay for the clearing of 100 acres of the land. Sam has a "argo ' family , some of his children being giown up and married. When ho has seen the World's fair ho will return to Oregon and pass the remainder of lilsdajs on his ranch in luxury.

" Unmulcra 1'ork Over Their I'lftlos Ciin't Uo Lot In on the Ground 1'loor. Ycstcrdav was the last day of grace given . to the South Omaha gamblers , and before 5 o'clock in the evening six of them had gone to City Treasurer Hector and paid in their $50 fine , or "donation" as the receipt reads. There were ono or two other places where gambling has bcencairicd on , but the line was too stirt for them and they quietly folded their tents and took down the sign. In the past no restriction whatever has been put on the tiger but in the future Chief Ucckett sais ho proposes to see that the houses are conducted quietly and in as re mote places as possible. Ho has therefore issued an order that noambling ( shall bo done on the ground lloor. This will create a row all around and It will not surpiiso many if the gamb- blors get into a row among themselves over location and glvo the major good grounds to close them all up entirely. If any of them are allowed to operate on the ground lloor they will all be looking for ground iloor locations , and if the chief forces those no won the ground floor-to the second story they will objpct. The order has gone forth , however , and time will tell whether or not it will bo obeyed , No arrests were made last night , although gambling was done on the ground lloor iu moro than ono place.

Webster scored victory in Judge Scott's court jcstcnlny In the cnso of Mlnnto U. Moore , administratrix , against tho. Omaha Street llailway company. It sctins that a couple of years ago the hus band of the plaintiff was n p issongor on the Sherman dvcnuo car line , going north. When ho rcachqd a point midway between Webster and Hurt streets ho Jumped from the motor , which was going at the customary rate ot sperd. In making the jump ho wns caught in some manner and dr.iggcd under the wheels , receiving Injuries from which ho soon died. Suit wns brought In the district court by the widow , who sought to iccover the sum of | AOOU dnmni'cs , Among other things the phintlff alleged that the accident wns largely duo to tlio fact that' tliero wore no guards around the wheels. To this potltlon Mr. Webster de murred , alleging Unit the husb.ind of tbo plaintiff did not alight or attempt to alight from the car at anv point where it was cus- tom.iry for the trains to stop , but instead ho got oft in the mlttdlo of the block and nt n point where trains were forbidden by tbo ordinances of tlio city to tnko on or lot off passengers. The point was argued nt some length and In passing upon the question tlio court held Unit tlio demurrer wns good ; that the pica that tlieio was Ice on the stops of thocnror that there were no gu lids w.is not good when Itvvns shown that the passen ger got on or oft the car nt other places than street crossings. With the conclusion of the opinion the court took occasion to glvo the street rail way company n little wholesome advlco by saying th.it It was apparent that the cm- plojcs of the companywero reckless In many respects , not having tlio proper regard for tlio lives and safety of the passengers. Time and again ho had seen conductors st-irt their tt.iins before the passengers had succeeded In getting upon the platfotms , nnd ho had nlso seen them rcluso to stop to lot people off , thus compelling them to jump nnd take the chances ot locclvlngtho most serious injuries. Such a course was encour aging the people In their negligence , as It was Inducing them to board moving trains in older that the trainmen might not , be in- cpnvcnlcnccd by maulng the icquliod stops piovlued for by the chatter and the ordi nances of the city.

While the manageis and propilotois of the International sanltaiium are still engaged m attempting to euro all the Ills which flesh nnd blood are heir to , they are also engaged inn row which thicatcns to shako the very foundation ot the concern nnd possibly dilvo it from the face of the earth.

In his petition , which is now on fllo In the distiict court , Mr. Maxwell , in miking public his tale of woe , declines tliut during the month of August , 1803 , ho entcied into .in agreement with bis associates to put upaunicicnt monev to run the plant nnd that ho w ould go ahead and euro nil of the chronic and nervous diseases that came his way. Then there wns nn additional agreement tint Maxwell should hnvo the sum of $500 per mouth for his services nfter all of the expenses o the institution were pnid. That was good enough , so far as it went , so Max well alleges , but he intlmntes thnt now his partners have given him the double cross and have refused to nccount to him for all of the receipts of the sanitarium , nnd for that reason ho wants the court to lift a helping hand , dcclaiing the partnership at an end. hues for ItniniiRo to l'u u anil Torgon. Emory A. Classen is n tiller of the productive soil of Saunders county. As long ngo as last Christinas time Mr Clossen came dow n from his rural resort and formed some lasting acqinintances. lie had not been In town much longer than n day before ho was locked unin the city jnilclmiged with having worltcfla strong gnmo on Isaac Brown , by which ho got rid of suudrv und divers mortgages which Brown nllogcd wcio not worth the paper on which the conditions wcio written , liioun bought the paper nnd then charged Clossen with having obtained money by making faho pretenses. For 1U3 dajs Mr. Clossen was con fined in the county jail , until a couple of weeks ago , when his case was tried In the district court. That trial resulted In nn ac quittal , but Instead of going light homo and putting in the spring wheat Mr. Clossen lingered about Omaha until j esterday , when ho commenced n suit in the courts , setting up the claim of $1U,152 , which ho avers Mr Brown must nay. For a cause of action ho alleges that whllo he wns languishing In the county Dastllo some ovll disposed per sons looted his resilience in Saundeis county , stealing grain , household furniture and his agricultural implements ; that bv rcison of the tncarccrationi.uid the false im"- piisomncnt ho was knocked out of a trade that would have netted him n clean profit of $3,000. Asidofrom the foiogoing , the mnn from Saunders county vehemently alleges that.whllo lie was in the jail he was greatly Injured in his ci edit and reputation ; that ho was hi ought Into public scandal , infamy and tiisgiace. suffeiing gieat anxiety and pain of body and mind.

This in it self was fatal to the legality of the proceed ings , ns there is a statute tine ptovldes that when the party who forecloses the mortgage falls to get pcisonal service upon tlio moit- cagor , ho or Ills helis can coma into court at anv time within flvo ic.ns nnd upon applica tion have the sale sot usido and the judgment openrd up for n reheating.
