a disguised manner discovering (traces
plots and bappenlnRS in which he delights
to pley an uneipected role tbst surprise
everybody. These Incidents are In abort
accounts, each one occupying a chapter, of
which there are eleven In all. A sample
of the prince's experiences is the one
recorded la the rhspter entitled "The
King A-Begglng." The king wrote a poem
of thirteen stanzas entttled: "A Beggar
Man," and not receiving the praise ho de
sired, donned some beggar's clothes and
secretly tries the life of a beRgar for a
week to teet the truth of his statements.
Ha took a belt filled with gold with him
aa a precaution and on the last day of his
return home incidentally eipoeed It to the
gate of five robbers, who attacked him.
Ha was rescued by a nisn on his way to
the Tillage to be hanged. The king went
with him to stop the execution, but when
ha made his appesrsncs his subjects would
not recognise his commands, and It was
not until the king's guards made their ap
pearacce that his command was heeded,
when he was then hailed as the "friend
t the poor man."

Ellen Olney Kirk's new book, "A Remedy
for Love." Is a sweet, old-fashioned love
story with abundance of sentiment and
suspense, doubt, misgiving and delay. It
Is, besides, a story full of surprises. There
are three pairs of lovers instesd of one.
This Involves cot only two pretty
debutantes, but their father, a very in
teresting widower ,who finis himself able
to fell in love again after twenty yeara
of science and solitude. He Is awakened
from hla "Rip Van Winkle sleep of twenty
veers" by a letter from a cousin scoring
him for neglecting his daughters sod not
'bringing them out." Although he is In
the midst of preparing a book of a scientific
character for publication, he decides his
daughters shall be "brought out." Hla
enlisting the service of numerous rela
tives brings about complications both
amusing and interesting. His falling In
love with his stenographer, whose assist
ance he has secured to hasten the pub
lication of his book. Is surprising, consid
ering his secluded life of twenty years'
duration. The story is told with vivacity
and much charm of delicacy and reticence.
Like all of Mrs. Kirk's novels. It Is par
ticularly attractive to girls. Houghton,

If there is snythlog in the title of a
book Aaron Dwlgbt Baldwin In selecting
'The Gospel of Judas Iscartot" as ths
title of his new book hss chosen one which
should attract attention. Th author Is
a literary and newspaper man well known
in the west. The book purports to be
written by Judas Iscariot. It deals largely
with the origin of the Christian faith and
presents warm, realistic and beautiful pic
tures of ths Jewish world la the time of
Our Lord. Its prime object Is to show,
following the gospel accounta, that Judas
was not, could not have been a bad or un
worthy man and that the so-called act of
"betrayal" did not Involve moral turpitude
on his psrt. The line of defense adopted
Is entirely unique, not being patterned after
that set up In the middle ages and followed
in the last century by Thomas DeQulncy,
W. W. 8tory and others. It la a historical
novel so much out of th ordinary It Is
sure to attract attention. Published by

GIANT PACKERS LOCK HORNS
Araou and Swift in Straggle for Control
of Traffic
SENDS PRICE OF HOGS STEADILY UP
Local Receipt Greatly Increase
Over These of Last Year, While
rrl-e Moaats Day After Day
with Regalarlty.
Hogs sold In South Omaha yesterday at
the arersgs price of IT.64'4 per 100 pounds.
This is 2.3H per 100 pounds higher than
the average price on July 1. 1900. snl
11.534 higher than the average price on
July 1, 1901. In the meantime the receipts
of hogs at the South Omaha yards are
more than 111.000 greater for the first six
months of 1902 than for the first six months
of 1901. On the increase In receipts alone
the Increase in price amounts to nearly
1400,000, while on the total receipts for
the six months It amounts to almost $4,-
000.000.
In a measure this extra price for hogs
Is accounted for by the added cost of feed,
but not all. Stockmen say a very tidy
figure of profit la going to the farmers'
pockets. In the old days of cheap corn It
was a common saying that M hogs meant
&0-cent corn. If tbst were true hogs at
$?.0 means corn at about 90 cents, so th
farmers' profit even with corn selling at
0 cents Is fslr. What the real cause for
th stesdy rise In the price of hogs and
the continued demand for all that come
to market Is not apparent on the surface.
Well Informed men who do business at the
stockyards ssy it Is the result of a war
that haa broken out between the Swlfca
snd the Armours for control of the provi
sion traffic.
Fight Between Glaata.
Whatever the cause, a lot of expensive
pork Is being packed Just at present. Mess
pork Is the only feature that shows high
In the market quotations Just now, ribs
and lard being down around normal.
'Somebody Is getting his neck wrung,"
said one man who is In close touch all
the time with the livestock market, "but
whether It Is Armour or Swift Is mighty
hard to ssy. One thing Is sure, they are
putting up a mighty lively fight." What
the outcome will be Is not even hinted at
by the watchers, but It seems hardly pos
sible that the price of hogs can be main
tained at the present figures after the new
feed crop comes In.
In connection with the struggle for su
premacy between the giant packing firms
Is the story told by the Chicago Tribune
of Tuesday anent the purcbaae of control
of the Omaha company by the Armours:
Another Important chanare In the packing
field was made public yeaterday when It
waa announced formally that Armour as
Co. had secured th Omaha Packing com
pany after a sharp tilt with the Swifts,
wno were omaing ior me iim iniereeie.
It was further Informally announced that
Armour had practically secured the Inter
national Packing company's Chicago plants
at the Union stockyards. Both steps were
the result of the rivalry between the Swift
and Armour Interests.
The Omaha Parkin company has teen
on the market since early In May. when
Ira M Cobe of Cobe A McKlnnon, and for
mer president of the Chicago Title and
Trust company, undertook Its reorganiza
tion. He bid at that time (2.000,000 for Us
preferred atock and tl.Ouu.flori for Its com
mon stock, and the deal with the Armour
company is supposed to have been for
slightly larger totals.
The sale of the company to the Swifts In
stead of to Armour was taken as a foregone
conclusion for some time, aa tne umana
company was formerly controlled by the
Fowlers, who sold out their holdings in the
Anglo-American to Swift.
Accordlnr to a member of the Omaha
company both of the large firms made bids
for US purcnase. ine dwui company nig
Just purchased the Anglo-American, which
gave It all of the Fowler foreign trad, and
reports nave it mat tne Armour interests
lost no time In closlna- the deal. The
Omaha company, which has plants In sev
eral of the large centers. Includes here the
packing bouse or vuea A Koomns, ana it
was through this firm that the sale Is sup
posed to have been effected. It will not go
out ef existence, but will become a part of
the Armour chain, just aa Libby, McNeill
Ac Libby and the Anglo-American plants
have become parts of Swift.
The new purchase, ao far aa local busi
ness la concerned, gives to Armour a new
dressed beef business of large proportions,
and a hog bouse with a capacity of t,0u6
hogs a day.
Confirms Report of Sale.
It was acknowledged In the office of Vlles
A Robblns yesterday that the aale had
taken Disco and that Armour waa the pur
chasing party.
"It was made as an Investment by Mr.
Armour." said a member of the staff of
tha Vile A Robblns company. "The Omaha
Packlnar company will not ro out of ex
istence, but Armour will have a big share
of Its stock. There was but little trouble
In getting him ta take it. It waa an In
vestment, and the Arm Is on a splendid
paying basis. I do not know the exact sum
paid for the Interests sold and would not
tell If I knew."
With the news of the ssle of ths Omaha
company came rumors of the purchase of
the Continental and Upton companies, the
only two smaller concerns that ars now
doing business In competition with Armour,
Swift, Cudahy. Schwarsschlld A Sulzberger
and the Hammond companies. At the
offices of the Continental company It was
said thst nothing was known of such a
deal, but that T. E. Wells, who controls
the company. Is on his way home from
Europe. N. O. Cony bear, the local repre
sentative of Blr Thomas Llpton, denied that
such a consolidation was contemplated, or
that approaches had been made on th
subject.
"We do not believe thst Armour lsafter
the Hammond company, waa said by a
packer yesterday, ' for the reason that It
would be of no value to htm. If such a
deal goes through It shows thst Swift snd
Armour have at last locked horns In a
bitter struggle."

ARRANGE FOR CANAL MEASURE
Cablaet la Engaged la Effort to
Carry Oat tke Terms of
tke Proposition.
WASHINGTON, July 1. The cabinet wss
engaged today at the suggestion of Secre
tary Hay In the preparation of measures
to carry out the terms of the isthmian ca
nal law. The government must determine
the sufficiency of the title that can be con
veyed to the Cnlted States by the Panama
Canal eompany, a treaty must be negotiated
with Colombia conferring the necessary
rights and a technical committee must be
appointed to carry on the actual work of
construction.
It was decided to refer the matter of title
to the attorney general. It being purely a
)eg-l question, and recourse maybe hsd by
the latter to the French court to secure
from some high -tribunal a satisfactory
affirmation of the sufficiency of title, as
the Interests Involved are .too great to base
the title upon the mere opinion of an in
dividual lawyer, either French or American.
The attorney general may attempt, how
ever, to secure from the French govern
ment, directly through the Chamber of
Deputies In all probability, some executive
declaration which shall havs the force of
law and effectually affirm the legality of
the acquisition of the canal property by ths
United States. It will be necessary for the
attorney general to send to France some
thoroughly competent person who can, If
need be, retain local French talent to aid
In his work. The name of Assistant At
torney General Russell has been suggested
as well qualified for such a post and some
or all of the member of the Isthmian canal
committee may go to Paris. There Is som
reason to believe that while no formal as
surances have passed, th French govern
ment has managed to let It be known to
the president that It is willing to do every
thing that la necessary to quiet this ques
tion of title.

panj'i Franchise Stira Interest
MAJORITY OF OFFICIALS FAVOR A GRANT
Company Asks City for Tea Years'
Cestlasaae of Its Contract,
Dating; from October
IT, 10O4.
Around th city hall yesterday there waa
considerable talk about the offer ef the
Omaha Water company for an extension of
its franchise from October 17, 1904, for ten
years. It appears that a majority of the
officials are ln favor of accepting th terms
ef th company In order to secure th priv
ileges tendered. The constant demand tor
an extension of water mains on account of
the building ln all part of the city hss
caused the council considerable worry, be
cause no money has been available for some
time te pay the claims of the company for
hydrant rental. The records show that the
city haa not paid the water company any
money since July 1. 1901. It now owes the
company the aum of 112.150. When this Is
paid It will nearly deplete this year's water
levy, although there still remains 1300 ln
the water fund.
In order to supply the wants of the ctty
and at the same time protect Its own In
terests the comnanr DroDOses thst I Its
contract Is renewed for tea years from Oc
tober. 1904, to furnish the city, during the
unexpired term of its present contract. Its
water for ten public watering troughs, to
be located at such points as shall be des
ignated by the council. These troughs to
be kept In operation from May 1 until No
vember 1 of each year.
Further, the company will provide during
the period of ten years, as well as during
the unexpired portion of the preaent eon-
tract, water free of cost for use In the
various offices In the public buildings now
used by the city. This will Include the city
hall, the Jail, police court, public library,
fire engine houses and the public achools.
Water also will be provided for the flush
ing of sewers for sanitary purposes, pro
vided the work la superintended by the
proper city authorities.
The rate to be charged to private eon
eumers Is to be the same as thst charged
In Omaha, which is the same ss the present
contract.
One new feature of the proposed contract
is that the water company shall be required
to furnish and set meters at Its own ex
pense on all new domestic services. Meters
are to be generally used and these are to be
eet as soon as practical after the passags
and acceptance of the ordinance.
In addition, the company agrees to lo
cate forty-eight additional hydrants, to be
locate;! where the council may direct. Thess
hydrants will not be charged for until the
expiration of the present contract, then all
the 250 hydranU will be charged for at the
rate of 150 a year, except the Intermediate
hydrants, which rent at tne rate of $10 a
year.
The company, however, desires om lee
way ln the matter of laying mains and set
ting the forty-eight hydrants, as the offi
cers of the company state that material is
rare. The company la cot to be held re
sponsible in caae It cannot promptly obtain
the material for laying the main and the
eettlng of hydrants. .
With the exception of the intermediates,
all hydrants are to be located not more
than 400 feet apart
Payment for hydrant rental, under the
proposed contract, must be made on Janu
ary 1 and July 1 of each year.
As the terms suggested appear to he much
more favorable than those ln the present
contract it Is presumed that ths council
will pass ths ordlnancs.
Printed Charter Delayed.
Borne time ago It was announced that the
copies of the charter and the revised city
ordinance ordered a couple of months sgo
would como from ths printers on July 1 and
be ready for distribution. Owing to de
lays of various kinds the printers statej
yesterday that It would be fully another
month before the books would be ready. In
this connection a city official said yeater
day thst unless the books were completed
soon the charter would be practically us
leu. It is the Intention of the city oQ
clals to request th next legislature to
make a number of amendments ln the char
ter in order to provide funds for ths growth
of the city. Whea the charter is revised it
will then be necessary to have printed
copies of the chsnges made and this means
additional expenss.

tain property owners to clean the wash

During" the recent heavy rain many of the

embankments. Unless th property owners
attend to this mater at once the street
force will remove the mud from th aide
walks and th cost will be assessed against
the property.
