The hearing Is to take place on April G. Ono of the two wltnesrcs cullcJ was Rich ard Ulaeo , a shipper of stock of Dlalr , who has been In the business for 'the ' last twen ty-five years. Speaking from the stand point of a shipper , he Bald that In his1 opin ion the exchange Is In the nature of a pro tection to shippers , because the rules fix a uniform eculo of charges and set down a principle of doing business. Any deviation is punishable. As a consequence the rulco compel the commission men to do a square end honest business. Tbe witness said that be had talked to many ehlppora In the state about the exchange and had found them without exception favorable to It , because they felt sure of being treated right at the South Omaha market. On cross-examination Mr. Qlaco was asked regarding the dockagesystem. . He said that ho believed that It was curried on justly and right. It was something that bad to be done and the exchange Is In a position to get disinterested men and men who know their buelnces. He had never seen nor heard of an Instance where the decker had dis criminated In favor of the exchange. "Do you think that the shipper ought to have a say In the selection of such an Im portant man as the decker ? " asked the dis trict attorney. "The shipper docs have a say , " answered the witness. "Tbe commission man who represents me speaks for mo as If I had been there. " CONSIDERS EXCHANGE NECESSARY. The witness Insisted that the exchange Is conducive to the transaction of business at the market. He admitted that the business could bo done without the exchange , but ho said that It could not bo done as well as with the exchange In existence. The men who compose It arc competent and give a bond to deal fairly , although , In answer to the question , the witness admitted that be had no personal knowledge of rniy case where a bond .was given. The witness said that ho had sold stock at South Omaha before the exchange \\iis established , eight or nine years ago , but he was more satisfied under the present system. The other witness of the afternoon was D. II. Olncy , who was called to contradict the testimony of Lafayette Coltrln , Riven at the hearing of the government. Coltrin swore that ho had practically been driven out of buuliiORS by the exchange. At the time he . .w-presides. ! of tN. old Omaha Live Stock company , air. Olncy , who 'was ' vlco presi dent of the ame .concern . and e saleaman , draled emphatically that the flrnt had "been - driven outof business by the exchange.- Bald that It had broken up on account ol ome quarrel between the members of the company , the nature of which ho refused to tell. 'He ' said that the Omaha Iilve Utock company succeeded Spetz , Olney &iCo. , which had . 'been doing a very good 'business. POtXOMAbTEK ISl.CONTEMPT. .

BOUND OVErt TO DISTRICT COURT Gordon Decide * the evidence SnulclentlStmtnlnN the Charge of SfttliiKVl > nnd Mnlntuln- OnnilillnR Device * . Henry Oerter was held ycMerday In 1850 bonds to the district court by Police Judze Gordon for setting up and maintain ing gambling devices and running a gambling room. James Hcftner , charged with the same offenses , was discharged , the court holding that the evidence which sought , ' o connect him with the operation of Iho gambling house over Oerler's saloon al 1409 Douglas slrcct was Insufficient. Shortly after Judge Gordon opened court ycutcrday the preliminary hearing of the ; ambllnz caste was laken up where U had jeen dropped Saturday , and with the In- Iroducllon of testimony lhal was Immaterial counsel for Ihe defendants Tested their case. Assistant County Attorney Jeffrlc waived the opening argumcnl and Attorney Dunn talked for more than an hour In an attempt to show that Oerter bad not been proved the testimony lo bo the owner of the place. Tbe attorney said that , even ad mitting Oerter's connection la the premises , the courts had already beld lhal the came gambling devices In evidence were for the purpose of. carrying on gauice of Judgment ind skill , and consequently they were not gambling Implements. Jeffries , for the prosecution , replied to this argument by showing how conclusively the state had proved the ownership of the gambling room. Oerter furnished a bond for his appear ance In the district court. The preliminary hearing of the gambling cases aealnsl Cliff Cole and others Is set for this morning , although In all probability the defendants will waive examination.

The matter will bo further considered by tbo council when a definite proposition has been submitted. A nua jr cf bakers appeared to protcsl against Health Commissioner Spaldlng's new ordinance for the regulation of bake shops.

Holmes and several Douglas street retailers were present lo ask that some ac tion be taken to remove the banana pcddlero who located their carts in front of their places of business and obstructed traffic.

Union Gnrdener * IlrcitU Awny- from Londrra mid Get Place * . The sale of preferences for market plice stalls has been fioished. Six additional stalls were disposed of for $2.50 apiece and then the demand fell off and the remainder of th < y gardeners were evidently willing to tak ? chances on Ihe places lhat were left. II seems that the officers of the Market Garden ers association have been unable to' hold the members In line , for most of them have cither dropped In at the last minute acd secured stalls or had others secure them for thorn. The aggregale sale Included 107 stalls which were disposed of at premiums rang ing from | 2.60 to | 13 each. The total re ceipts were $468 , or over $4 a stall. This Is about double what they 'brought a year ago. Blovlnqr the Dodge Street School. The public schools are closed this week for the usual spring vacation and the time will be utilized to move the Dodge school Into the new temporary quarters. Nothing Is being done In that direction today as the board docs not get possession of tbe new rooms until the first of Iho month , but the movable articles in the Dodge building will be ready to move In the quickest possible time after that date. Then It will require a couple of weeks at least to get the school building ready for occupancy as a jail , and It will probably be near the middle of April when the old jail quarters aro'penuantely discarded. Stop * Street Cleaning. The fall of snow has put a stop to systematic streel cleaning for the remainder of the month , Superintendent Beverly had a small gang of men at work clceanlng the snow off the cross walks In the business districts , but aside from this nothing will bo done until the snow Is off.

Men who were well-to-do 'armors are now without any means and ; hclr families are either dead or dying in ho camps Into which the Spanish troops lave herded them. During one night thai Colonel Pralt was In Havana sixty-four per sons died of starvation. At the time he was n Cuba Miss Barton had not as yet secured irovlalona for these poor creatures , but she lad no hope of saving many , for they arc so weak that food can never help them. "The Cubans are not Ignorant savages , " said Colonel Pratt ; "many of them are very In telligent , and in my opinion they are far more capable of self government than the Spaniards arc capable of governing thtm. In tervention should bo made Itfi.Medlately. It should have been made by G rover Clcve- and. " General A. S. Churchill epokc In defense of Cuba and denounced Spain.

What we want to impress on you is to look for it here. Wo have the largest line , the choicest line , The Inoat money saving line , that ever came to Omaha , but of course you'd expect us to say that anyhow , oven if wasn't so. It is so. You will find out after awhile , if you don't already know it , that we never no never put anything in the papers that we can't back up in the store. Speaking of backing things up , we have some more of those nobby little Junior Suits at § 1.75 , $2.00 , $2.25 and § 2.50 , that went oft like wildfire when wo first showed them a few weeks since and we told you in the papers at the time that they were better and prettier than some stores sell for double our price , and you found it so although you didn't believe it when wo told you so" i at the time. Now is a good time to pick out one of those suits for Easter because there is a chance that if you wait till the last moment you'lffim ! them all gone. It isn't at all likely that they will be all gone today or tomorrow , but then you can't ' tell. They're remarkable value , and unexpected things have hap pened here before now.
