A good deal has boon printed of late re eratdlng the Ice ciop ami the prospect o values thecomliiK summer. Careful In qulry monK the e who are In a position t Hicnk for th.it branch of business show that the iiimnllty harvested so far this vvlnte In this section la less than half of a not ma crop , but taKIng Into conaldciutlon the Ic left over from last season and Mill In th houses It may be paid that just about i half ciop has been put nvv.iy. That mean a large shortage the coming season am that ko will have to be shipped In fron other points. Other nearby points nr nhort the tnme us Omahu , so that It wll bo Impossible to stcnre any quantity with out going some distance for ft. It Is Bali by thu Icemen that It will bo Impossible t Bet Ice shipped In litre for less than J2 pe ton , Height. Last jcnr the vvholesa ! price of Ice at this point was only $2 pe ton , so that It will be seen that to ship Ic In will make It a rather c\pc > n lvc coin JilO'llly ' , doubling the WhvlwtUe price a IN Tim PRODUCE DISTRICT. There has been a good deal going On litho the produce dlstilet tno paht week , and tin tallicifl have had plenty to do. In the His v place the attempt to locate ; the market gar F / deneis over on Capitol avenue has brough * lorili a vigorous piolcst from the pioduci men at Eleventh and Howard stieets I the gatdencts and hucksters arc kept In tin Binie district as last year , that Is , nroum 13 eventh and Ilounril streets It centiallze the produce business and makes a market while to scatter them disperses the tradi nnd Oniiiha will no longei iiuve a busy pie duce market , as was the case last summer To centralize the trade brings , all the In tertsted parlies. Into one locality and faclll ntes the transaction of business. The pro diH-o men aic picpared to make a stroni light against the bieaklng up of the market Anot lici Interesting feature of the bus ! ness In the produce district Is the continue ! Uownwaid course of the egg market , untl the lowest price on record nt this season o the year has been touched. The mlh weather that has prevailed over the greate : portion of the west during- the wlntci hai brought about an enormous production o eggs , -which has been supplemented by ai unusually laigepupp'y In the fouth , and alto ftether the shipments oC flesh stock havi been the largest ever known nt this Heasoi of the year. The rrsult has been that east em maikets have been flooded and ths prlci has been gradually lorctd downward until ns noted nlme , It Is loner than ever befon at this time of the year. At the pieseni time the wholesale pi Ice quoted In this cltj is 8g8Vi cents , as atalnst 22 cents one jeai ago. ago.At the present time there are belnt shipped from Nebraska , on an average , a least two cars per day ot 400 cases each thlity dozen per case , or a total of 21,00 dozen for the two cars. Another feature of the situation Is the re ductlon In the demand for meats of a' kinds , owing to the fact that cheap cggi are being substituted. The largo packer ! are all complaining that the public Is no consuming meat In such quantities as for merly , andi In consequence' the market ot all kinds of ll > e stock Is depressed am prices low. _ OMAHA.

The manager of the department ail- * V | vised her to go homo , but after the Injured ( I hand hnd been bound up she said she felt much h tter and remained , Uy Tuesday morning , when Mies Schncffcr reported for duty , her hand had swollen to twice Its natural size. Then the manager Insisted on her going lo a physician , She went to the New York hospital , where her hand was treated , nnd acting unilrr the ad vice of the physician she returned home , Ily Wednesday night Miss Schueffer felt so much better that she went to prayer In tlio Seventeenth Street Presbyterian church on 1'lrst avenue. Ilcforo tlio meeting she seamed particularly happy , laughing and chatting with her friends. It was near the conclusion of Iho servlco tint Mlbs Schacffcr , as she sat In her pew , suddenly Cultured a low cry nnd fell over. When some of the members of the congrega tion rcachcl her she was unconscious. A > oung man ran out nnd got Dr. Meyer , who lives close at hand In Sixteenth street.

Miss Schacffer wns taken homo by some ot tier friends. She walked Into her room alono. Those who accompanied her did not notlco the fact that she elld nut speak , believing that ) she way simply weak In consequence of her swoon. She rat In a rocking chair In her room so long that her father , who had retftcd , went to her nnd as'ced what wns the matter. She Jld not answer , simply shaking her head. The father , believing that his daughter was , cxeil at something , allowed her to remain ivhcro she was , saving , "Well , nil right ; If rou can't answer tne. " At midnight Mrs. Schacffcr went to her laughter's room , seeing that her light was till burning , and said , "Why , Annie , you > hould go to bed. " Again the young woman nodded her head , > ut raid nothing , and the- mother went away. It had been tlm cut-torn of Mlra Sclmcffer to ulso early. Yesterday morning she did not lo sj , nnd when her father wai nbout to eave the housa at 9 o'clock ho went to her > edsldo anil asked If she had not better get ip. She shook her head as the had done the light before. "Why , you are In an nwful humor , " the athcr said an he left the room. Towards noon Mr. Scliacffet was hurriedly iutnnioni'd from his place of business. Ills life had become greatly alarmed. Miss ichaofferhud arisen nnd eaten her break- ast , but , despite everything the mother could lo , the d-iughter would not speak a word , 'o nil questions that were asked her she eplled by a shake of her head. Nicholas Jlaelus , a friend of Mr. Schaeffer , was called n. Ho tried to get the young woman to peak , without success , and then ho wrote on . hit of paper : "Can't you speak ? " And Miss Schncffer wrote "I cannot. " After that Mr. Ulaslus , who Is an under- aker and has n shop on the ground floor of ho house , telephoned to Bellevue hospital nd an ambulance came , with Dr. Ayrcs. [ o examined the joung woman , but could inko nothing of her case. She was taken to lie hospital. Every effort there failed to make her peak. She appeared to bo In normal health , i\o for a wandering look In her eyes. When yked If she know what was going1 on about er , she nodded. She was told to try to take an effort to epeik , but wrote agalu on 10 pap-r that she cott'd not.
