Jobbers and Retailer Eioolt tor Saecese fal Fall and Winter Trade. Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers In fcractlcally all lines report the volume of business for August as belr far ahead of all previous records for that month. Hot only that, but they also say that the outlook for the future Is bettor than it ever has been before at this time of year. Merchants throughout the territory tribu tary to this market have had a large and prosperous business during the past several months, which puts them In good condition financially, and also makes them hopeful for the future. The excellent 'outlook for a large corn crop, with Indications favorable for good prices for all klnda of farm products, la the real reason for merchants being so certain of a brisk fall and winter trade. The advance orders that were placed dur ing the month of August very plainly re flected the general prosperity existing throughout Omaha's territory and the gen oral Impression is that September will gnake even a better snowing than August. Prices as a rule continue very firm, but comparatively few fluctuations have taken lace during ma wee unuwr review, 'here Is a scarcity of many lines of goods. but as a general thing, wlih the exception of srrocerlua. prices are not being advanced perceptibly on that account as yet. There seems to be no doutit but what present values will be maintained throutthout the eason. so that it seems to those who are posted aa a safe proposition for merchants to stock up iretsiy at present prices., toffee Took av Jump. Wholesale grocers experienced a .very lively demand last week, and In fact throughout the month of August, as com Imrlaons with August of last year show a l!s" gain fur this year. The market as whole la In very much the same position It was a week ago, but still there have been a few changes of Importance. The first of the week the coffee market , In New York waa rather excited owing to reports of killing fronts In liruxll. l'ricvs formed up WWjc, but as the reports were Hot verified fa. weaker feeling developed. There has been no change in sugar so far as Quotations go, but at the same time stocks are light and on some grades re fineries are oversold from ten das to two weeks. The demand la very heavy and probably will reuialu so for the next three sr lour wwu. Beans are a trifle nVmer owing to tin favorable weather existing tliroualiout the bean producing sections and particularly In New York and Michigan. It la reported that tb rains have done a good deal of carnage and trat a large part of the crop Will be discolored. In canned goods there has been little If ny change so far as prices go. Jobbers, though, as Well as retailers, are giea.tly Interested In the tomato sit UK t lull. Eastern advices Indicate that the pack will be ex Coedlngly light. The vines In the west are fcealtliy, but unless warm weather la. ex perienced and the frokt holds off the tota back will not be anything like an average while an early frost would mean almo.it a failure. Many of the leading packers have o far refused to name prices. The new 1902 pack of western corn ap peared on the market last week, and the quality la said to be exceptionally Ana owing to the favorable weather experienced during the packing sesson. The demand lor dried fruits continues Very 11 ht. and. In fact. Is murh smaller than ukoal at this time of y-rar. The Milanailon la thought to be found In the fact that the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables hum been very large all summer A heavy consumption, though. Is looked for later on, aa prices are mum lower than they were a year ago. The Block tha Jiaa coma forward so far Is pronounced Very satisfactory aa regards quality. Kast i pra s vapor aUd raspberries, huasver, are much higher than they were a year ago owing to the crop being very light. Heavy Demand for Dry tiooda. The dry sroods trade continues very large and in fact the Howard street houses were crowded to their caoaitv last week with both order business and house trade. Fall buying may now be said to be on In ear nest, and the number of merchants coming to market Is a surprise to everyone. Their orders as a. rule are exceptionally largo. as they are anticipating the best fall trade that they have ever expenencea. ine at tribution of d.ry goods extends to all de partments. Including dress goods, cloaks, hosiery, underwear, blankets and woolens. There has been practically no change durlna- the week In the price of leading staples, although the cotton goods market is very strong, 'mere seems 10 oe quno a scarcity In popular lines of fall wash fabrics, and domestics In desirable dark work are also In short supply. Wholesale milliners aiso naa a nice iraae last week, and many more customers ar rived than were expected. Another big 009010 0 Is advertised for this week, end even a larger attendance la expected than at the previous ones, uraers are very no eral and Jobbers aro more than pleased with the way business Is going. - Hardwire Hard to 'Get. Wholesale hardware dealers are shipping out great quantities of fall goods, such as stoves, coal scuttles, stove boards and pipe, and In fact ail Kinds 01 rail gooaa are moving rapidly. The demand so far hns been very heavy and Jobbera report a big gain over last year. Goods aeem to ba about as hard to obtain as ever, and con siderable difficulty Is being experienced In getting enough Duiiders material ana me chanics' tools to meet the demand. One reason for the shortage Is, of course, the unusually heavy demand owing to the fact that nractlcallv every mechanic In the country is employed except where strikes are Interfering with tb regular course of work. The market has shown no quotame rhann durlna the week. Prices are firm all along the line, but no Important changes are looked for In the immediate tuture. There la also an active demand lor larm machinery. Plows In particular are moving out very freely, as mere is to oe more than the usual amount of fall plowing done this year. The ground Is In fine condition and farmers are taking advantage of It. Hay tools are also In good request, farm wagons and buggies are selling freely, and the prediction Is that owing to tha big corn crop more wagons will be sold out of Omaha this year than ever before. Boot and Shoo Men Busy. Leather aoods Jobbers also have a good word to say regarding the condition of trade. A good many buyers are coming on the market and are Duying quite rreeiy. Moat of them have, of course, bought the big bulk of their goods, but at the same time they are placing liberal tilllrig-ln orders. Traveling miu are also meeting with good success on the road, ao that Jobbers have no complaints to offer. They are still busy shipping out their advance orders, but they now have a good start on them. Kubber goods are moving out at a rapid rate, and so are the orders coming In freely for both footwear and clothing. The un usual amount of Tain has made rubber goods sell readily ami present indications are that Jobbers will do a phenomenal business this season. Fralts and Pro dace. The demand for fruit still continues very large and the supply Is also liberal. The most of the peaches and plums offered last week were from California, but this week Colorado and I tan stock Is expected to arrive In largs quantities. According to advices received the quality will be tine. Prices ruled a little hlK'ier last week than the week before, as will be seen from the quotations In another column. there was no material change last week In vegetables, aid about the time prices hold good that l ave been In force for some lit t lu time. The oyster sesson opened last Thursday and local Jobbers report the demand aa being exceptionally good. Prices range from 89 to 45 cents per can. There has been very little change In the prlcea ruling on poultry, eggs and butter, the supply and demand apparently keeping about even. Spring chickens, though, weak ened a little, while butter, toward the close of the week, firmed up a trifle. Aside from thova changes the marKft on that clans of goods Is the same as It was a week ago. Bringing the Retualas Homo. LONPON, Aug. .

Hasan Hat Daspemta Struggla with Eabber in Hit Eoum, TIMELY STROKE PREVENTS A MURDER Householder and Bara-Iar, Flghtlag with Desperation, Roll Down Flight of Stairs Marauder Makes Hla Escape. J. B. Mason of 4907 Webster street, Dun dee, had desperate hand to band struggle with a burglar who entered his house at S yesterday morning, during which three hots were fired from the marauder's re volver, and the two men, each desperately fighting to finish the other, rolled down a flight of stairs. Mr. Mason fought against heavy odds, as the burglar had the double advantage of being the heavier and stronger and being armed. The struggle undoubtedly would have ended in murder had not Mr. Mason's eon appeared at a critical moment and knocked the revolver from the burglar's hand. , About 2 o'clock In the morning, during the thunder storm, Mr. Mason waa aroused from hla sleep by a noise at the kitchen door of hla house. While he was lying In bed awaiting developments a flash of light ning illuminated the room and he saw a man there rifling hla pockets. Mr. Mason Jumped from the bed and selied the bur glar. . ' Borarlar Firea Revolver. After scuffling tor a few seconds the bur glar drew his revolver and fired three shots in quick succession. Each time the gun was leveled at Mr. Mason's head, but each time he succeeded in striking the burglar's arm Just before the trigger was pulled and the bullets flew into different parts of the room, one lodging in the mattress of the bed, in which Mrs. Mason lay trembling and helplessly nervous. Mr. Mason fought the burglar with des peration, realising that a moment's respite might bring a fatal shot from his adver sary's gun. In the struggle both men went to the floor and then rolled, one over the other, down a flight of stairs. In the fall Mr. Mason sustained cuts about the head and a fracture of the ankle. He was now I in a weakened condition, but his son Claude appeared on the scene and took a band in the fight. The burglar waa downed and given a severe beating, the revolver first having been knocked from his hand by the younger Mason. Escapes la, the Darkness. The burglar, being a big and powerful man, finally succeeded in breaking away from the Masons and escaping; through the back door. Aa he disappeared In the dark ness he was Joined by another man, who had apparently been waiting' for him on the outside. The burglar got away with $7 which he had taken from Mr. Mason's pock ets. The Omaha police are at work on the case, although the crime was committed outside the city limits. ' Before entering the Mason borne the bur glars had visited the residence of Prof. Llghton, next door, but they secured no booty there. Yesterday blood spots were discovered on the floor of the Mason bouse, and these indicate that the burglar may have been struck by one of the bullets from his own gun. IRELAND TO GET RED HAT Inereaaed Ifnmber of Cataollea In United States Entitles Churoh to Another Cardinal, ROMS, Aug. SO. In view of the Increase of Catholics In the United States tha pope has decided to create another American cardinal in order to re-establish the equilibrium in the sacred college. It has been pointed out to blm that whereas Great Britain and Ireland, with 6,000,000 Catholics, have two representa tives, and even Australia, with hardly 1,000,000, has a cardinal, (Moran), 13,000,000 American Catholics have only one cardinal (Gibbons). It is certain that Archbishop Ireland will get the red bat BRIDGE REPORT IS ADOPTED Ocrantj Gammiuioaen 8al Oae Chapter ef "Old Board'g Beoord, At the Threshold of Fall A Pen Picture f the Autumn Season. The perceptible transition from summer to autumn moves the BprlngQeld (Mass.) Republican to draw the following pen pic ture of nature's glorious season: Before the gray winds come and the birds go; while yet buckwheat bloom is sweet to the bees snd the rising sun awakens nymphaea on the bosom of the misty pond; ' while yet the fields are fragrant with rowen clover, and; the grouse and the wood hen cluck to their late broods in the hazel thickets; while the lush greens of summer still possess the fields and crown the hills with sumptuous repose In the long day in short. Just now, before we forget our blessings In a possible hot and stewing Sep tember, let us give grateful praise to the uncommon loveliness of the season. Not the best of corn weather, but for sheer physical comfort and Joy In breathing quite the beat, especially In the midsummer weeks, wherein the dog-atar usually rages, tha mosquito revels, and sleep becomes a fitful and wearisome uncertainty. A good many rainy days, and many more days of freakish showers, some of them notable and furious, have given to the foliage of the trees and the herbage of the meadows those luscious perfections of verdure which they wear so happily. Other days have Inter vened, keen with reacting air currents, bril liant with clear, swift sunshine sad with glowing white clouds drifting over pro found aiure depths of sky. How the earth has felt the luxury of Its vegetable life, how flowered and leaved in marvelous gay ety and profusion, bow sent forth new swaying sprays from the tip boughs of birches and cedars, hemlocks and pines, and flung forth, aa. In child's play, the deli cate tender red leaves of spring from the ends of young maples and oaksl Nay, spring hues and tall tlnta have even bal anced each other on the forecasting Jolnel together In the happy unity of the year's advance. ' And cow that the later and more splen did of the golden rods are beginning to glorify the plains and gleam in the bush rows between the fields, the aster tribes are beginning their royal succsssloa la tha violets and purples which are so much more emphatlo than their earlier fellows of the wooded shades, whose ray flowers are white, though their disk flowers are red gold and lemon yellow, ripening to deeper tones as they grow old. The char acter of these autumn blossoms is such as to challenge every eye, and Indeed it Is chiefly now that the element of .daring and vigorous splendor comes Into evidence, snd the earth grows rich with the glory that none can pass by. It is the garnered suu shins of the centering life of the year that new echoes the great orb in which Is em bodied and from which proceeds the very inner vitality and energy of our familiar earth. What a tremendous revelation is this not the gentle, tender, slow graces that begin the floral year, with their sh'y spiritual apparition as arbutus, hepatlca,' pyrola, llnnaea, partridge berry and such silent woodland flowers, that must be sought in their seclusion. Even tha tall, white daisies and buttercups seem retiring as the black-eyed Susans take their places in ths fields. There are still recluse beau ties In the woods, but who thinks of them In the brsve onset of the golden rods, pur' pie asters and the sunflowers flowers that seem to say, as the poet appealed to the rose: Buffer yourself to be desired And not blush ao to b admired. It is interesting to note how the ripen ing of leafage into fall color begins humbly, on the ground, so that now in many a field one sees whole tracts that are harmoniously eolored in orange and flame from the little buckwheat vine, which creeps on ths earth where it finds nothing to climb upon, or more intensely red with multitudes of other polygonaceae, such as smartweed, hearteease and the rest, whose pinkish Bowers but serve to tone down the self-assertion of the red stems and leaves.' Now the high grasses and sedges come out with notable plumes, and tbelr stems and long, swaying blades, deep with maroons aad olives, lift the picturesque flower panicles Into light In an aerial free dom; and the thatch that abounds oa our plains begins to assume that Maderla wins tinge that glvea its tone to many an acre. Besides these there are the sumacs, begin ning to intimate the riot of leaf color to come, while their scarlet or crimson pom pons break upon the sight like fantastla triumphal decorations of ths march of the hosts of the outgoing year. Meantime, the katydid has come, a little belated this year, and not ao strong in nun ber aa often. The evening concerts from the trees are wonderfully soothing and content ing a single movement of ths great lnaect chant, which in all Its variations makes a symphony of nature, though the sonata form has never been mastered by these curious orchestral performers. Monody is the true epithet for the crickets and ths grasshop pers; ss for the cicada, whose savage whirr resounds at noonday, he wields an instru ment that belong rather with the sultry Af rican music, not yet harmonised to a sensi tive ear, and which is rather a barbarle in terruption, such as amid a crying of Infinite lelllles by an Arab army breaks In upon the racred appeals of Allah with a harsh stri dency of anger. It is like In effect to the note of SUva'a horn In the opera, that calls Eruanl from his dream of happiness to meet the fatal stroke. If one could but remove that note from the rest, it would all be "Allah 11 Allah!" And so it shall be. Praise be to God, and Joy to man, that there is an unending chorus of Ilf in the earth life that was as the dews distilled and the sun dissolved them ages ago, and life that will be to the end. We make our farewell, and others shall come, and know all and more than we have known, and also they shall take a last look with earthly eyes upon these works of God, and go on to discover and dwell among other of His works, as good and as beautiful. Or rather, go on Into the wider life of God, in which we are but motes snd all that we be hold and enjoy and love but shadows or prophecies ef that which shall be revealed to us In further life. Nothing snds; but all forever and ever begins. EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS SAVED Commission Appointed to Investigate Recommends a Redaction of Flnnl Estimate and This Is at Last Agreed To. Acting upon the report of the special commission appointed to investigate the matter of the bridge on the asylum road, the county commissioners, after some heated discussion, determined to deduct $1,808 from the estimates as submitted by the contractor, Robert Z. Drake. It was disclosed In the discussion that the first and second estimates, amounting to $2,600 each, had not yet been allowed and it was decided to deduct the amount named from the second estimate. The report, which is signed by Robert B. Howell, W. S. King and F. A. Edqulst as commissioners, relates in a specific manner that the commission had examined each of the different records forming portions of the proceedlugs of the board in relation to this bridge and after stating in a general way that the price was practically in ac cordance with the terms sgreed upon, pro ceeds as follows: "We further find that under such con tract of July 18, IvOO. snd the prices therein set forth to be charged and allowed for bridge material and bridge work, and under the order and resolution of June 24, 1901, and July -12, 1901, respectively, and the modified plans and specifications as ac cepted July II, 1901, that ths correct price allowable to said Robert Drake on such bridge is as follows, vis.: 140-foot span f 4.446 00 1 increase for additional width.... i.ea 60 80-foot tubes 1.672 00 h60 feet of floor girders 8.7N0 00 280 feet of hand rail 4M 00 384 .feet of piling 230 40 T.1&8 feet of lumber In sewer box... til 1 Extra lenath of alrders and tie rode In eubsiructure 36 67 Total $U,114 2a Debate oa tha Report. Commissioner Cwtrom move'd the ac ceptance of the report, stating that the final estimate for the work had been al lowed, but that the first and second esti mates of 22,(00 each had been withheld and embodying In his motion a provision that the sum of 11,808, which was the dif ference between the reasonable cost of ths bridge as fixed by the commission snd ths cost as shown In the contractor's esti mates, be deducted from the final esti mate. This motion revived the old con troversy as to the manner la which the proceedings relating to the bridge were conducted and in the course After the discussion Commissioner O'Keeffe asserted that the recorda did not show a portion of the action which the board was alleged to have taken. He was aaked by Commissioner Ostrom why. If he thought the final estimate when presented to the bridge committee was too high, he did not state that fact to some of the other members, snd replied that every saloon man In town had heard him ssy it. In re sponse to that Commissioner Connolly said: "That's Just wnere you dia your tslkiug when you should have dona It In the board meetings." The motion of Commissioner Ostrom pro viding for the deduction of 11.808 from the second estimate was finally adopted. . Ths resignation ef Elmer . Thomas as deputy county attorney was accepted and the appointment of George A. Magney to fill tha vacancy was approved. Hay Keep Ffetfer. The resignation of Otto Pfoifer aa flraman at the county hospital was referred to the committee on poor farm, it being suggested that Mr. Pfelfer had a grievance which might be adjusted. A bill of Joseph Decker for corn da. llvered at the county hospital, amounting to 1200, was taken from the commlttea and allowed, as the corn had been bought witn the understanding that it was a cash transaction. The bills of the South Omaha assessors were laid over for another week. The committee on courthouse and t.n was authorized to decorate for th ii. Sar-Ben festival with the understanding mat tne expenditure lor additional ma terial should not exceed J 150. The board, after a brief but earnest dis cussion, adopted the county surveyor's plans for tne proposed pile bridge across the Platte' at Valley, the cost of which Is estimated at $13,400, Commissioner O'Keeffe alone voting in the negative.

One of the new moves In the financial world that la attracting a great deal of at tention la the pooling of Interests by small Inveators. A St. Louis firm, the Prudential Investment Co., Is the prime mover in the plan. This company receives the money of thousands of small Investors, and, com Din ing them, form gigantic sums that enable them, to successfully transact enormous deals that pay handsome profits to the In dividual membars of the pool. This Is a new phase of the Communlty-of-Interest Idea made so popular by J. flerpont Mor gan, the only difference la that this com pany is composed of so unlimited number Of small Inveators, while Mr. Morgan's com panies are composed of a limited number of rich men. The Prudential Is the first company organized on this new plan, but because of Its wonderful success It la but a question of a short time until many more will enter the field. It Is a well known fact that the man of money haa thousands of opportunities to make prolitable Invest ments that uever come to the man of small means. In popular language, "It takes money to make money." liy this new plnn of combination the small Investor secures the same opportunities that come to the man of millions and aa a consequence re alizes the same enormous per cent of profit on his Investment, however small It may be. It can be safely said that a more marked departure than this new plan was never made In the world of money aid those who take advantage of the opportunities offered by the first of these companies will ris more on their monay In a weS ' than they would under ordinary conditions In a year.
