"This city should be the dump ing ground for wsstern grain," said he. "We should have cereal mills and 1 flour mills and glucose factories. If we get these railroads with us those things will all come." It was determined that-Mr. Iler's suggestion would come regularly In ordev later on. ' v "I should like to ask Mr. Merrlam why he does not bid for grain along the Bur lington road," said Mr. Sunderland. "Because It would be of no use," was the reply. "The results wouldn't pay for the stationery used." "Doesn't the .rate forbid It?" persisted Mr. Sunderland. "You may draw your own Inferences, was the response. Victor Roeewoter'a I dens. Victor Rosewater was called upon. "I wish to say that we are with you," said be. "I think you have started right. The first thing to do is to make out a case,' as you are about to do by the appointment of this committee. There Is no reason why Omaha should not havs a grain market. Il Is situated as well as the other grain cen ters. Given favorable conditions and there la no question of the success of the scheme. We have the same chances In this matter that we had In the fight for the stock yards. We must have unity to win. "It Is foolish to think that any sentiments 'of sympathy or philanthropy will Influence the railroads In this matter. You must show them that It is to their own advant age to give the help required, and then they'll do it. It is simply a case of present benefits as opposed to future ones, and It rnust 'be made plain to the railroads that ths future ones will far outweigh the pres ent ones. ' -. "Some of the grain men are avoiding par ticipation In this affair because they tear they will lose railroad favors. As a matter of fact they think they are getting favor when they are not. What the reads do for one grain man they do tor the rest. Any wsy, there is no object In keeplng'stll) un less the railroads are going to kick back, and' they will not- It Is to their advantage to do business with one grain firm Instead of several." L. R.

He said: "We miit( hfcve a pro rate to Omaha In equality it) the proportion of , the through M.rVan Dorn then moved that the pres ent organisation be. made permanent.

M: C. A. Building, Corner Sixteenth favoring an Independent organisation.; 'This aroused great opposition. Mr. Her was first to get the Boot. "I am unalterably opposed to a separate organisation," said he. "I do not think you can succeed save under the auspices of the Board of Trade. Only that arrangement can' lend the neces sary weight and responsibility, c We don't want too many organisations. It weakens things." Mr. McWhorter followed. "I have always found that the Board of Trade will give the grain men what they want," said be, "and I am positive it will again." Chairman Peck here took occaalon to ex press himself. "I think it a great mistake," said be, "to attempt any Independent organ ization. The Board of Trade is just what we need to back us. The directory will help us, and If It wilt not an eleotlon is corning and there is a chance to put In men who will. ' This arrangement does not mean that all those who are to trade In the exchange must hold memberships in the Board of Trade. That would bs too expensive and too much to expect. But we can arrange to sell trading privileges, floor privileges, at a reasonable sum, say $60 a year. The Board of Trade already has the necessary rules for us to proceed under and It should certainly handle this grain market." It was then decided after much argument that Mr. Van Dora's motion to make the temporary organisation permanent would have the appearance of a move toward in dependence from the Board of Trade and ths motion was withdraws. A recess was then taken for two weeks, at which time ths committee will report Its findings and further plans will bs laid. At the close of the meeting Mr. Peck said: "I feel that we are well started to ward what we want, that we have begun right and that the movement Is actually on foot and In ths right direction."

' UTAH MAY ELECT A MORMON Ferry 8. -Heath Talks : About the Coming Senatorial 0atet NO' ISSUES FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN National Republican Campaigner Says There Is Nothlnn; for the Parties to Divide On Oxuard Visits Roosevelt. (From a Staff Cbrrwiponderit.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. (Special Tele gram.) Perry S. Heath, secretary of the national republican committee, now editing one of the leading newspapers 6f Salt Lake City, Is In Washington. In speaking of the election of a senator to succeed Senator Rawlins, Mr. Heath said: "The republic ans have the legislature by an overwhelm ing number and will send a republican sen ator here." " Mr. Heath says the Mormons are largely represented In the legislature and It is well understood in Vtsh that a senator of that religion will be chosen. Mr. Smoot, an apostle of tbo Mormon church, Is one of the prominent candidates, and the opinion of many member's of the legislature Is that be will be elected to fill the vacancy. In discussing the Issues of the csmpaign of 1904, Mr. Heath says: "Not one of the Issues of 1900 or 1902 will. In my opinion, cut. any figure in the national campaign of 1904. I come, as you know, from a sil ver state, Utah, my home. . The election" qf both 1900 and 1902 eliminated sliver t s an Issue In . any sense. Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana,, all. gave large republican majorities last November majorities tor the gold standard. Imperialism, expansion and the Philippines were mentioned, and the more they were mentioned the greater be came the republican victory. Tariff revis ion is not demanded, generally and talk of reducing the" tariff on trust-made articles or punishing trusts by . free trade Is re-' garded wherever I have' traveled during the last sis months as a fallacy and Is not pop ular. Th democrats first raised this ques tion, raised it for the. purpose of creating an Issue and dividing the republican party, but they have not succeeded. The demo crats are free traders first and last, and protectloulsts will not taks to this propo sition. Republicans do not believe In kill ing the patient in order to cure It. During the last six weeks I have been asked by at least a score of democratic business men what issue divided the two parties, and I could not inform them. They all aaid they were for sound ftioney, retention of our new territory and opposed to free trade as a means, of killing the trusts. It we were to begin a national campaign tomorrow I have no Idea what the democrats would present In antagonism to our present policies of progress and prosperity." Oinard Sera Roosevelt. Henry T. Oxnnrd, head of the beet sugar trust, hsd a conference with the president this morning. Mr. Oxnard will probably re nin in here until the meeting In this city next week of the beet sugar Interesta of the country.. It Is stated that while the beet sugar men believe it would be unfair to them to cut the duty on Cuban sugar 25 per rent they will not oppose ratification of the Cuban treaty for the reason that their business is being hurt more by- continued agitation of the question of lower duties than It will be If the cut is made. They de sire to bsvei this question ssttled st this session of congress one way or snot her 10 thst capital may. kuow on Just -what kind of basis It may Invest In beet sugsr enter prises. It Is saiiV sroor.g teet sugar men that coulpatatively little capital has been lnvsted in the beet sugar business since the beginning of the Cuban tariff reduction or reciprocliy agitation and that capital will continue. to be'ttni'l la this direction until the matter Is settled permanently. , Coagressmsn Thomas today rAlleil at -the Indian bureau to urge the appointment of Bishop H.

It Is contended that if the sswer as at present planned is built it will work great damage to farmers and others below the point of entrance Into' the North river through pollution of Its waters. A suit has been brought with a view to changing ths course of the sewer. Such a change In the present plans would cost the government something like $15,000.

Habit of Healthy Esreseaat, The, sturdy Scotch, Germans. French and Italians seldom or never eat meat for breakfast. Long experience has taught that the breakfast should be simple and not Includo ! meet. Many Americans suner witn weak stom achs and more or less Illness because they fall to understand ths simple and healthful plan of breakfast somewhst like the fol lowing: A little fruit. A dish of Orspe-Nuts and cream. One or two aoft eggs. A cup of Postum Food Coffee and per haps a piece of hard toast. A man says, "I couldn't go on thst until noon." One or two days' trial will teach blm a big volume of facta and make him feel "fit j aa a lord." There Is a deep underlying and scientific reason.

SHERIFF WEST TAKES THE STAND Testimony Is Mostly as to Details Con nected with the Crime-Long List of Witnesses Yet to Come, DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. S. (Special Tel egram.) Willis D. Westover, a member of the coroner's Jury, was on the stand most of this morning at the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Lena M. Llllle on the charge qf murdoring her husband. This afternoon Sheriff West was called, and testified In detail aa to his Investigations at the house on the morning of the crime. Court ad journed until Monday before the sheriff's cross-examination was completed. From the list of witnesses yet to testify It is not thought that the hearing will be concluded before the last of next week. While Mrs. Llllle Is beginning to fully re alize the gravity of the awful crime with which she is charged, she Is standing the ordeal with remarkable fortitude. Prosecution is Confident. Counsel tor the state consider that they scored a strong point yesterday with the witnesses who were on the stand. Dr. S. C. Beede, Dr. H. E. Burdick and J. D. Sprague. These are the best witnesses for the pros ecution that have yet been introduced.. The attorneys say their best and strongest ev idence is yet to come and that they have plenty of it. They evidently believe that Judge Sklles will hold the defendant to the district court. In his testimony yesterday afternoon J. D. Sprague said that Mrs. Lll lle testified before the coroner's jury that all that was stolen out of the house on t.he morning of the murder was $300 In money belonging to her snd a small amount of money from Mr. Llllle's trousers' pockets, and some notes belonging to her, snd that nothing else In the house was disturbed. This morning throngs of people '.were making their way to the courthouse for more than one hour before the time for court to convene. Some carried their lunch baskets, evidently Intending to spend the entire day as spectators In the temple of Justice. Mrs. Llllle arrived at the court room promptly at 9 o'clock, accompanied by her parents, her sister, Mrs. Grisinger, and Sam Llllle. Mrs. Mary Llllle, mother of the murdered man, is not present to at tend the hearing for the reason that she Is subpoenaed as a witness for the defenss. Mrs. Llllle reads the morning papers cart fully and seems much interested in them. Aa usual, the attorneys were late and court did not convene until near 10 o'clock. Repeate Mrs. I.lllie's Story. ' Willis V. Westover wss the first witness. He wss a member of tha coroner's Jury. Witness said: "Mrs. Llllle said she was awakened that morning by a loud noise. She saw a man standing by ths bed pointing a revolver at ber. She rolled off the bed, and beard tha man run out of the room and down stairs. The first thing she thought of was belp. She commenced screaming and called to the girls, saying that ber husband had been shot, and telling tbem to go for help. She said they lighted a lamp and they all went downstairs, she preceding. The girls went across the street to get help snd she went to the telephone. "Mrs. Llllle described the man as about ths size of Harvey. She said he might havs had a beard and might not; he might have worn a mask and might not. The revolver, she said, was a bright one." Witness then portrayed to the court the position of the man as he stood by the bed, ssylng: "I saw Dr. Sprsgue place a pencil through the hole In the glass, and the bole In the screen snd the outside of the pencil wss ths highest.

I stood on the west side of the bed and sighted through the hole In the window and the screen, and the revolver would have been about six inches above the top of the bed clothing." This evidence was given to prove the Im possibility of a man atandlng where Mrs. Llllle says be did and firing a shot through the window, as Indicated by the bole in the window and screen. Window is Introduced. Witness was shown the window taken from the Llllle home. He said: "If this Is the window which we examined, it is not Just in the same condition it waa when wo first examined It for the reason the pow der burn Is not near aa black aa it waa and the hole Is larger than it was then. "I went out on the porch and examined the hole In the screen and It appeared the same as It did from the inside, except the wires were bent out. "When Mrs. Llllle was testlfyina before the coroner's Jury she was asked If the revolver the man held In his hand was a long or short one, and she said: 'I was not measuring gun barrels that morning and do not think you would, either.' " Witness testified at length as to the tests made by the coroner's Jury to discover from what distance powder would burn similarly to the powder burns on the wln- aow ana curtain in the Llllle home. His testimony In this respect corroborated that of John D. Sprague In every particular. Hole in the Window Screen. In the cross-examination of Westover the window screen waa shown him and he said: "If that is the screen that we saw the hole It is ot a different shape." The hole In this screen at this time Is about one. Inch by one-half Inch. It Is probable that the window screen will be Introduced in evidence later In the pro ceedlngs: When court convened this afternoon Westover was recalled for further cross examination. Witness stated that when Mrs. Llllle demonstrated to the coroner's Jury the position of the msn when be was pointing the revolver at her, she used a revolver. This corroborates the testimony of Dr. Sample on this point. Witness Sprague was not positive about this. Sheriff West's Story. ' Isaao J. West, sheriff, was ths next wit ness. He said: "On the morning of Octo ber 24, 1902, I heard of the shooting ot Har vey Llllle, I Immediately went to the Llllle residence. It was partially daylight. When I first went in there wss no light burning. Dr. Stewart, Burt Hall and Night Polloeman Taddlken 13 d several others were there at this time. They were all la the bedroom where Mr. Llllle lay. Mr. Llllle waa lying almost on his back, a little Inclined to the left, his hesd turned a little more than his body. I made some Inquiry of Mrs. Llllle as to the occurrence and she said that shs hsd seen a man standing a little north and west of the bed. She described blm as a man of about the size of Mr. Llllle, saying that he either bad on a cap or a hat with a narrow brim and she thought he was light com plected. He waa pointing a gun at her and she saw there wss no show for her and shs rolled off the bed on the east side. The msn left the room immediately and shs heard him run downstairs. I looked in the bureau drawer and also noticed tbs hole In the window. 1 made no further Investiga tion In the room at that time." Witness gave a description of ths post tlon of the bed with relation to the window which was substantially aa testified to by other witnesses.
