1'UOSl'IX'TIVIJ ICD BUSINESS.
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 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. _

She was attired In her new bloomers , and
ho seemed to bo proud of them , relates the
Ihlcaco Post.
"Well , " ho said , after he had survejed the
evv costume critically , "I suppose you are
appy now. "
"No-o , not exactly , " she replied slowly.
"Why , you must have the freedom of
tovemont for which you have longed all
our llfo , " he exclaimed.
"Ycy , I have that , " she admitted.
"You have aluays been complaining that
woman was too much hampered by her
klrts , " lie persisted.
"It Irf true , too , " she assorted.
"Ever since you were a llttlo girl , " he
ent on , "you say you have had a longing
> play leapfrog and alt such games every
mo you saw the boys doing it. "
"I admit It , " she said.
"And vou always thought It unjust that
ou should be deprived of such sport be-
iuso you were a girl. "
"It did seem so. "
"Well , now you have- got your bloomers ,
suppose there Is no reason why you
Wouldn't play leapfrog , If you want to. Why
on't you do It ? "
"Because , now that I can , I don't see any
m In It. I I don't think much of bloom-
rs , anyway. "
"Glvo mo a liver regulator and I can regu-
ito the world , " said a genius. The druggist

A Woman Sintilciil > n M > rli cil of tlio
Power ot Spcovli.
Every physician In llellevtic liospllnl was
called Into consultation last night over otto
of the most curious cn cs that lias ever cotno
to _ their attention , relates the New Yorlc
Wet Id. It Is thit of n young woman sud
denly stricken dumb Uamlsnmo Annla
Pclincffer. while piesotvlng cvety otlior
faculty , has suddenly been deprived of the
power ot speech tinder most mysterious con
ditions.
Miss Sclmcffpr Is 22 yenrs old nnil lias for
some months been employed In the restaurant tl
In n Sixth avemtp diy goods Ftoro. Sh jj
lives with her patents In Ihe npirtnirnt house , Al
* "
G21 Kast Twelfth sttcel Wlillo nt her work
on Monday afternoon BIO | hnd occasion to
rcnovo n broken gla i from a table , when
the hit of glass dropped from her hand nnd
a gash two Inches long was cut In her left , , { 1
hand. 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. Ho
soon restored Miss Sclioeffcr to consciousness.
She looked In wonder at the filghtcncel faces
about her nnd Bald : "I'd like tu go homo ,
please. " ,
SI n co thnt moment she has never spoken.
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.
The case was diagnosed as one of aphasia
lotor , but the phjslclans could not tinder-
Land how the voice could have been lost.
: must bo an effect , they said , of the cut
11 the hand. There are no symptoms of
ickjaw In the case.
