"Clarence Aimsbaiy , step forward , " com-
.roandcd the judge when Aslsalant County
Attonip ) Jcffeih plcke-d up an Information
nnd announced that hu had a party who was
charged with burglary.
Instead ofa low-browed criminal answerIng -
Ing to the command of the couit , a might of
a boy , 12 yearn of age , edged out of the
criminal dock , wulKed to the bench and
climbing up In a chair , looked the judge In
the face.
"What Is the charge against you ? " asked
the court.
"Burglary , " promptly answered the boy ,
his Up qulvc'ilng and tbc tears coming to
his eves.
Judge Slatyiiigli propounded a few ques
tions and learned that the Ind had been
caught In bad company ; that with some bojs
much older than himself he had been caught
In a store , and upon being arrested had been
charged with burglary , n further Investi
gation elicited the fuct that the boy has
parents , but that they hiv-o made no nt-
tempt to get him out of jail allow Ins him
to remain there and associated with the
criminal classes of all kinds ,
After gathering what Information ho roiiH
the court discoursed upon the custom of al
lowing youns ; hojs nnd men to occupv the
Mine quarters In the county Jail , thereby
ruining the future usefulness of such bojs
The court attached no blame to the sheriff ,
It being a fact that that official has no
jilace where ho can separate voting boss
from the full grown men who arc held on
criminal charges.
Young Annsbary was asked If die had an
attorney to defend him and answering In
the negative , W. S. Struwn and half a iloicn
other attorneys volunteered their service" ,
the manner of the boy touching the feellnps
of the lawyers.
Joe Hoffman , Thomas Convvay , Thomas
AVhlto and Martin Conway were the labt
prisoners arraigned They were charged
with the destruction of property , the Information
mation conveying the statement that fast
December they bored through the floor of
< i saloon. The Instrument that they used
struck and entered a whisky barrel and con
sequently the liquor flowed out and was

James Williams and Charles Wharton ,

county jail. The two men had been. In Jail
elcice the date of the last state fair. At
that time they met a rural visitor and es
corted him to the 'High ' school grounds
Upon reaching that place ono of the men. In
n Jesting mode , pulled a padlock from his
pocket and discovered tha' ho could not
open It. The lock was passed to n c'nfcd-
crate who opened It , after which the thing
fwas pas&ed over to the rural gentleman , who
'staked $25 that he could open any lock on
earth. Ho tried , but the lock would not
open , consequently ho last his money. The
man from the country reported the occur

the district court they were convicted nnd

was sdit back for a re-hearing.
At the last term of the district court Wil

The anti-pass law which was passed by
the last legislature -nd which prohibits all
city officials from riding free on street cars ,
Is to * o tested In the courts by the city po
licemen. A fund Is now- being raised among
the officers to secure the necessary amount
Cor the prosecution of the case.
According to the law no officer can ride
free on the cant under n penalty of a $100
flno or thirty days' Imprisonment In Jail ar.d
Joss of position. The street ear company Is
also lliblo to punishment for allowing them
4o ride. Police olllclals say that the Jaw
Jias seriously Interfered with the work of the
department and particularly of the
detective force. None of the oltl-
ccrs care to spend their own
money for street car fare , while It Is fre
quently necessary for them to go n upeedlly
as possible to boiun distant point In the
city , The street car company Is also anxious
to see the law declared unconstitutional as
far as policemen arc cancel ned In order to
obtain protection for Its passengers. Re
cently a number of cases of pocket picking
luvo occurred In crowded street earn and
they arc likely to become nioro numerous
as people come to the exposition.
Accoidlng to the plan the policemen have
laid out , an olllccr will be selected to do-

Commissioner Anderson yesterday afternoon
and was held to the grand jury In the sum

The woman attempted Vo prove an alibi
to show that she was not 'In the store at the

had no great confidence In her witnesses.
The clerk upon whom < ho bill wns passed

Identification was further strengthened by

that at the same time a number of similar

The body of AV'llllam lilglmm , the federal
prisoner who died at the county jail a few-
daj.i ago , Is not to be turned over to a medi
cal college , as was at first announced by the
county olllclals , It Is to be sent to Vcrdlgrc
to relatives and friends for burial.
When the man died It was believed that
ho was without friends and was a pauper.
Consequently the county authorities ar
range I to turn over the body to the Omaha
Medical collcgo and that Institution filed
the required bond. In the meantime , bow-
ever , the attaches of the United States mar
shal's oinco located the man's friends at
Verdlgre and Informed them of his death.
These friends asked that the body be held
until they sent for It. As eoon as these ar
rangements were made the medical college
relinquished any claim It might have had to
the body. The remains are now being held
In an undertaker's establishment.

Twenty-five of the counterfeit $2 bills
which were floated In this city during the
latter part of last month have been turned
over to the government secret service oIl- !
clals of this city. No trace of the parties
who parsed them has been discovered. It
Is the opinion of the authorities that they

CHICAGO , Peb 12. Substantial advances
took place In the leading futures In wheat
this week , .May closing with a net gain of
2'cents , while July advanced 1 % cents
The market was not without periods of weak-
nces , but In the main wns strong , the feeling
at times very active , especially toward the
latter part of the week. Saturday and Mon
day there was a decided bearish disposition
among traders. Weak cables , favorable re-
poits from the Argentine India nnd Aus
tralian crops caused small declines. On Tues
day the market was helped by the best de
mand foe export that has been reported In
some tlmo. Urgent demand from many of
the principal milling centers was also re
ported and the continued heavy northwest re
ceipts gave the market a drooping tendency
at first , but the remarkable cash situation
started a general buying movement late In
the day which finally became a scramble to
cover and a sharp advance resulted. There
was a reaction on Wednesday en realizing and
outside belling , but on Tliursday the market
became very strong and rcnalned sa through
out Trlilay. Reports that the Letter Intccests
were making contracts for the moving all rail
of a larpo part of their wheat to the sea
board and that part of It was for direct ship
ment to Liverpool advanced prices rapidly ,
the market taking on at times some degree
of excitement under the urgent demand.
Strong Liverpool cables , small stocks at that
market and the fact that Argentine ship
ments fol | short of expectations added to the
strength of the general situation.

gasoline. It epread rapidly upon the
arrival of the lire department It was evi
dent that the structure could not bo saved.
A terrific explosion rent the fourth floor wall
to pieces soon after the flre started. The

Notwithstanding the presence of very un
favorable weather , that lessened to a
material extent the demand for nnd the
movement of all kinds of merchandise , the
close of the week In the Jobbing district of
Omaha showed aery satisfactory volume
of business to have been transacted during
the six days under review. The general tone
of business continues very good In spite of
the fact that the country has been buying
freely all the season and that a let-up In
some departments might seem to bo In
order.
Uveryono Interested In the Jobbing of
goods from this point seem to bo well
pleased with the situation and only cheer
ful words are heard , denoting general satis
faction on till sides. Collections In some
quarters arc Bald to bo dragging a little ,
but that la natural at this season of the
year when the roads are generally In such
condition that farmers are unable to market
what produce they have on hand , nnd when
everjone Is supposed to bo hoarding money
to meet spring payments of Interest nnd
principal on mortgaged Indebtedness. The
fact that cattle arc not selling very high ,
and that feeders are not receiving the
profits that were anticipated curlier In the
season , may have something to do with col
lections being n little less prompt than was
the case a few weeks ago.
Among the local retailers the situation Is
also satisfactory thong i the past week did
not witness as large sales as some previous
weeks. The weather of the past week , however -
ever , seems to be entirely responsible for
any falling off In the volume of business
that may have occurred. The storm of
Wednesd.iv rendered the streets so slippery
that few people ventured out , with the re
sult that the number of shoppers on the
streets and In tip stores wa.s visibly re
duced. People wlto did venture out were
generilly In quest of merchandise , and , as
one salesman re-marked , the number of look
ers was much smaller , while there was A
noticeable pain In the proportion of actual
Inn I'M With the weather during the last
half of the week so vety unfavorable It Is
not to be wondered at that there was a
mueh.smaller volume of sales for the whole
week.
Almost without exception jobbers and re
tailers report that there has been a he ivy
fain In the volume of bulsnoss doing as
compared with the corresponding period of
hibt jeir. Most hou es > estimate this gain
at a lout 30 per cent , some as low as S5 , and
still others as high as SV < t per cent.
OMAHA'S LCADING INDUSTRY.
Everything goes to show that South
Omaha is destined to become the gre it
sheep market of the country. Tor the pist
year the growth of this branch of the live
stock business has been something phe
nomenal , and those who have followed the
course of events most clocly are weM * it-
islled that only n beginning has been m ide.
Ever since the opening of the stock vards
at South Omaha thcie have been moreor
less sheep handled at that point , but spp-
c'.il tacllltles are icqulred for the proper
care of sheep , niul an the yard company
had never been In a position to afford them
until the pat ve.ir , the sheep market at
South Omaha U a matter of very recent
graith The company now h.L an 1m-
men = o b irn , so long that a man ptnndlni ? at
the further end looks very small , for the
shelter of the sheep arriving at the yards.
As Hock masters out great btoro uptn the
accommodations offered , this has proven a
drawing card nnd the arrivals nt the yards
are constantly Incroving. Since the llrst
of the year there has been a gain of CS-
000 , as compared with the corresponding
pcilod of last year. In other words there
are so far this vear an average dally gain
In receipts of 1'JCO hevxd , compared with
Jniui iry and February of la = L year.
Tint this gain will continue until Omaha
becomes the largest sheep market In the
country Is by no means an unreasonable
assumption. An examination of the. map
of the. United States will * ho-v ; that Ormhu
is the nitur.il out'et ' for the'\estern breed
ing and feeding ground's The sheep can
come here more readily than to any other
mirkot on the Missouri river. California ,
Oregon , New /Mexico / , Arizona nnd parts of
Texas , which constitute the great breeding
grounds for sheep In the west , have always
shipped a very large proportion of their
sheep through this point to Chicago , and
nov that that there are buyers they are
stopping them and dlspo ung of them here.
A1 ? this Is the first point where the sheep
from the northwest and soutHvest come
together buyers are naturally attracted
heres so as to get the llrst ip'ck of the ar
rivals before they have been sorted over In
the Chicago jards.
In addltlan a great many of the western
sheep are only lit for feeders nnd are halted
In Nfbnisk.i lo be fattened , while the big
feeders In this state have been accustomed
to go southwest each venr or to Oregon to
buy feeding sheep , whirh are brought Into
the state and become directly tributary to
the market.
According to 110 latest figures available ,
the western states are well supplied with
sheep , Callfornli belnp credited with 2671.-
000. Oregon with 2,100OCO. Texas with VOO.COD
and other states with numbers running
well up Into the hundreds of thousands.
The handling of these sheep promises to be
come one of the leading Industries of South
Omaha and the growth of the business the
present year will be watched with no little
Interest.

When designating the stock-prowlng In
dustry of tie state as the leading Industry
It Is n question If many people realize what
that means and how large are the figures
upon which the assertion Is based. AccordIng -
Ing to the latest compilation , Nebraska has
511.000 milch cows valued at JIS.UO.CO ! ) ,
l.CGl.OCO other cattle valued at $38,701,000 , era
a total of 2.172.0CO cattle of all kinds valued
at SUOttOOO The state Is credited with
having 2.2")9,000 hogs valued at J10.S41 000 nnd
277 WO sheep valued nt ? 7C2OM. In other
words , Nebraska hasi live stock , not Includ
ing horses , valued nt ? G" , G3G COO. When It Is
taken Into consideration that Me Increase
Is constantly being marketed and that the
state was prettv well cleared of stock the
year following the great drouth nnd crop
falUirn some Idea of the extent of the busi

W. II. Roberson , local manager of U. G.
Dun & . Co . In talking of trade for the week ,
nays : "Notwithstanding the remarkable
woither conditions of the vvpek , shopping
has been quite actives at the 'prinelpil ' retail
stores , whllo tiade In the wholesale districts
has been fully up to expectations and In
near y every line clerks and employes are
working overtime. The leluctlon of the
rallroid forces , although quite radical , has
not as yet affected trade. The fact Is that
thft Union Pacific shops which have always
been a great source of revenue to this Uly ,
and In former duys constituted the most
fcnslderablo element of our prosperity , have ,
bien long since distanced by other Institu
tions. A thousand men are employe 1 by the
Union Pacific at the Fhopi and ivlthout dis
counting In the least the value of this In
stitution to the city , It is proper to remark
tint four or five other lns'1tutlon ? employ
qulto us many , and at least three each pays
Mages to a very much larger force of ern-
iplovcs , Whllo irgrettlng the seeming ne
cessity for u reduction nt the shops , wo are
entitled to congratulat'ons over the fact
that these other Ins-tltutlons have been in-
cre'aslns their forces.
"Union depot talk IH again becoming qulto

of the PlttHburg & Gulf road has given new

It ee > m to mo certain that lit least one
other paHsenge'idnpot will be necessary and
that that necessity will bo recognized before -
fore the close of 1608.
"It Is not generally known , but the fact
remains that a larse. amount of capital Is
aval able for legitimate manufacturing eti-
IfrprlfH'u nt I2u t Omaha , and with the Im
proved conditions prevailing In the city
there ls every reason to believe nnd expect
that n fair proportion of this will be en
listed during the present yiur. In this con
nection I may say that capital Is now waitIng -
Ing to be Invented here In un enterprise of
conslderublo Importance. Just as teen a the
right man for the conduct of the business
can bo discovered. The capitalists who arc
willing to make the Investment are hesi
tating only because they have not as jc-t
found a man of exceptional buslneas ability
in ho can take charge of the proposed enter
prise ,
"I am well satisfied that the agitation In
favor of a director general for the exposi
tion Is timely nnd hope to Bee some com
petent loan selected for thla Important posi

men who are at the heads of the various
depirtments have exhlbltfAY exceptional
public spirit and are cntltlnd to great credit
for the time , energy nnd ability devoted un-

CA'ITLi : The \veek closed ulth then-mil
light run of cattle , only forty loads of all
kinds being reported In tlie yards It Is
a serious question , however. In tlio inlndH
of a good many opcia.ois at the yards If
that is not too m.mv for the lust day of
the week. Other markets have Ki.iduall }
fallen Into the habit of Inving no cuttle
to speak of on Saturday , and It begins to
look as If the same plan mlfiht be followed
to advantage at this point Occasionally
It happens that buyers want a few cattle
on Saturdav , but It occurs more often ttv.it
the cattle pinch.ised the hibt of the week
h.i\e to be carried o\er until the ne\t
week , and buyers naturally want some lit
tle concession to pay them for the trouble.
Hecf Steeis Only it few loads of fat cat
tle were repoited in the v arils , ami no full
loads that could be called Rood Miners
cl limed that the in erase finality was the
poorest of tie week nnd foi that reason
they \\cre not anxious for them Other
buvcis talked that they were afraid they
could not get cattle enough to make it
killing and th.it anv purchases they might
mike would have to be carried o\cr Into
next week. It v\.is albo plalnlv evident
that buvcrt , had made up their minds that
there would be a liberal run next week.
Wlntover may have been the causes , the
result was a very dull and draggy m irket
that was \veak nnd unsatisfactory to sell
ers.
Butchers Stock Cons and heifers were
somewhat bettor sellers than beef steers
Thft. buyers' Boemed to want what few
there were hero nnd the offerings chanced
hands In good season. Values did not show-
any material change. Veal calves told at
the same good prices that have been pild
all the week , the best going nt $0 00.
Stock Cattle There were n fen stockcrs
and feeders In the v rds which met with
quite le.idy sale at good prlcrs. Tno re
ceipts of the last two or three dajb vveie
so light the yard operators vvcie u-ady to
take all tint \vcre offered ,
The Week The receipts of cattle for the
week just closed were slightly larger than
foi the previous week , but still not very
heavy. The market ns a wiole was In
pretty fall shape considering that the
storm was greatly to the disadvantage of
nil business and operations. The demand
on most days was reasonably peed , so that
the dally receipts were well cared for. As
to values , the best cattle" Just about held
their own , but common and half fat stuff
was slow , vvlti the tendency lower. Cow-
stuff gained n little strength during the
week and the market on the desirable
kinds was quite aetlve on most d.ijs. Stockers -
ers and feeders vv-ero peed sellers all the
week , though the sleet storm reduced the
country demand to some extent. Ucprc-
sentatlvc bales.
