With the Exception of Few Chances

Have Not Fluctuated Mick
Daring the Week.
Weather conditions last week were tint
tnry favorable for an active spot business.
1 lie rains and bad roads kept farmers from
!f-.to .,own, a"d ""'"S ,nelr "'
amount of buylnir, and besides that the
wenthcr was not warm enough to create a
demand for summer good even If buyers
find gone to town. In spite of that fact,
however. Omaha Jobbers and manufactur
er report a very fair volume of business
and account for It by saying that mer
chants are anticipating on enormous de
mand as soon as the weather dos clear
and they want to have their storks In shape
to meet the requirements or their custom
ers. Retiitlrrs as a rule have, not sold as
murn stork so far this spring as thev an-
aged sni a
unpKiefi nui mey are not at all discour
re very confident that they will
make up for lost time
Advance bustnees with wholesalers was
very brisk last week, the same as It has
been all this spring. Merchants are show
ing a greater disposition than ever to place
ttvir fall orders early and consequently
Jr. libera now have the best linn of future
orders on their books that they have ever
hHd at this season of the year.
While there hove been no very startling
Purtuatlons In prices during the week und'T
review there Is a good, Arm tone to the
market on practically all lines, and with
few exceptions either summer or fall goods
at present prices are considered good prop
erty. Collections have, been very fair, but un
doubtedly will show some Improvement
when retail trade In the country picks up,
but Jobbers are doing no complaining.
Sugar Steady, bat In Heavy Demand.
Wholesale grocers report business for last
week as being very heavy and far ahead of
two woeks ago. In fact several of them say
thev have had about all the business they
could comfortably handle. There have been
a few changes In ruling prices since last re
port, but still hardlv as many as usual.
Sugar Is In practically the sime position
If was a week ago, no change having taken
place on either raws or retlned. The de
mand In the east and south has Improved
considerably and refiners report withdraw
als heavy and are oversold on some grades.
For that reason It Is thought deliveries will
be more or less delayed.
The cheese market Is considerably lower
than It was a week ago. The demnnd con
tinues very heavy, but nearly all factories
throughout the country are in full opera
tion and are In a position to fill orders
promptly.
There has been no eh an ire In the mints.
tlons on beans since last report, but nt the
same time the market Is very strong and
biocks ngnt. witn tha demand heavy.
Reports recently received bv local tnh
hers from Japan show that the tea market
Is very active at strong prices, so there Is
better reason thnn ever for predicting
higher prices In the future.
Tho dried fruit market has not changed
materially, hut at the same time there Is an
active demand and especial. y Is that true
or apnro's ana peacnes. both of which
hnve stiffened under this demand. The
market on currents is also In a very strong
position, witn an advancing tendency.
Owing to the fact that the drouth In
Maryland waa broken last week the canned
goods market Is much easier and especially
Is that true of small fruits. Considerable
damase, however, has been done to toma
toes, and nil reports Indicate that the acre
sge will he restricted. Just how much
short It will be of the early estimate can
not be told at the present time.
Spot corn Is being held with great confi
dence and holders are only letting go at
full prices. Those best posted say there Is
every reason for thinking that all the avail
able stock will be cleaned up at present
prices before the new crop will arrive on
the market.
Cotton Goods Still Advancing.
The cotton goods market la still In a verv
strong position and goods are not only ad
vancing, but are very difficult to obtain,
flu.vera for local dry goods houses who are
now In New York report great difficulty In
getting desirable lines, and It Is almost Im
possible for them to get their earlier orders
duplicated. "Where they do succeed the
' manufacturers do not as a rule guarantee
delivery and accept the orders only at a
sharp advance. An advance went Into ef
fect last week amounting to i&'Hc on four
yard brown cottons and also on other lines
of brown and bleached cottons.
The trade situation locally was very satis
factory last week, all things considered.
Thera were quite a few buyers In the city
and while they reported business In the
country a little dull owing to the unfavor
able weather stfll they placed quite liberal
orders In anticipation of a brink trade a
little later on. There has not. however,
been aa much sorting up business so far
this season as Jobbers would naturally ex
pect, but they look for a brisk trade of that
kind In June.
Hardware Market Steady.
The hardware market Is In Just about the
Same position It was a week ago, no Im
portant changes having taken place. Prices
ere firm and goods scarce Just the same as
they have been for many months past.
Trade laKt week was not exactly hrlsk,
owing no doubt to the weather, which pre
vented much out-of-door work. There was,
however, a brisk demand for lawn mowers
and more of them were shipped out last
week than during the same length of time
in a long wniie.
Rasa Orders for Robber Goods.
Ttubbr goods Jobliera did an enormous
business last week In both footwear and
clothing. The orders came In by telephone
and telogrnph principally. Traveling men
did good business also, hut they were de
layed a great deBl owing to the crippled
condition of the railroads. Stocks of rubber
goods In Omaha are liberal at the present
time, so that Jobbers were able to give
their customers good service. Mackintoshes
rubber boots and sandals were the Hues In
greatest demand, but still anything that
would shed water sold freely.
Advance orders for fall goods also came
In very freely owing to tho fact that the
advance of 6 ner cent will go Into effect
June I. Retailers all over the country had
been notified of this advance, so that those
who put off ordering until the last minute
got under cover last week. It may safely
be said that every Job'ier has a better line
of fall orders than ever before. This ad
vance of 5 per cent affects rubber boot a and
sandals, but does not affect tennis shoes
nor rubber clothing. These lines will re
main unchanged.
There was also a brisk demand for leather
goods last week for the same resson that
rubbers sold so freely. The demand, bow
ever, was confined largely to high shoes, as
reu.llirs' stocks of low shoes he not been
broken to anv great extent as yet. Jobbers,
though, are looking for tt good sizing up
business on them to follow the first period
of warm weather.
Krnlta and Produce.
There was not a verv brisk demand for
fruits and vegetables last week. The sop
ply of strawberries was very light and while
some st "iK was cxim rnoice u gooa aval
was not ko good. The Missouri crop was
rather disappointing this season, as It wsh
damaged by cold weather n few weeks ago
and recent rains have done still more dam
age. Home-grown berries are exDeeted to
arriv on the market this week. Uood
stork Is being held t H i
Old potatoes are getting very scarce and
the prlco has advanced to 6u4.Uk) p-r buhel.
New stock, however, is becoming morJ
plentiful snd In a short time It Is thought
the price will take quite a tumble.
The butter market has been very firm all
the week, as the demand has been sufficient
to rare for the Increased receipts. Poultry
has also sold In about the same notches all
the week, but receipts of spring chickens
Increased considerably the last of the we. V.
snd with liberal supplies this week it Is
thought the price will break.
Tho 'Ps" market weakened toward the
close of the week owing to a break In prices
at other points.

125". State against Force; error, from
Dawes; exceptions sustained; Klrkpatrlck,
C, division No. 1.
1. In a criminal prosecution only such
confession of the defendant as are shown
to have been made voluntarily, without
fear of punishment or hope of reward, are
admissible In evidence.
2. The father of the accused shortly after
the commission of the alleged crimo
pointed a shotgun at his head and said:
''James, vou are my prisoner. I have a
right to arrest you. Tou shall go to Har
rison and tell the sheriff, connty attorney
and coroner's Jury all about the killing of
H. R. and you will get clear, but If you
don't you will get convicted." Accused
consented to the demand of his father and
made a confession to the officers named.
Held, that evidence of such confession was
Inadmissible.
3. Further- contesslons by the accused
suhseouent to such extorted confession
will he equally Inadmissible It so related
In point of surrounding circumstances and
promlxltv of time as to raise a presump
tion that the Influences resulting In the
first confession have not ceased to oper
ate upon his mind.
4. Evidence examined and held that cer
tain subsequent confessions were sur
rrmned hv such circumstances and re
moved from the Influences leading to th
first confession by such a lapse of time
as to raise a presumption that they were
voluntary and therefore admissible against
acctisea.
12750. Walker against Fltigerald. Appeal
from Cass. Judgment. Holcomo, J.
1. The pendency of. a motion for a new
trial in an action where a decree has been
rendered direction the sale of real estate In
foreclosure proceedings, .will not of Itself
operate as a supersedeas of stay the Issu
ance of an order of sale In pursuance of the
terms of tne decree. ... .
2. In an error proceeding from a decree
of the district court foreclosing a real es
tate mortgage, an undertaking which does
not provide for the payment of "the value
of the use and occupation of the property"
is not effective as a sup-rseoeas. uoiuns v
Brown et al. Neb.. 89 N W. Rep., 754.
3. An objection to an order Of confirma
tion not nresented to the trial court enter
ing the order cannot be considered by this

4. The statute does not authorise the ap
pointment of a receiver at the Instance of a
holder of a certificate of tax sale of real

that the property Is Insufficient In value to
satisfy the lien for delinquent taxes on
which such decree Is based.
12762. Horton against Kohl ft. Error from
Douglas. Reversed. Barnes, C. Division
No. 2.
1. If a contract admits of more than one
construction, one of which will render It In
efficacious or nullify it. that construction
should be adopted which will carry it into
effect.
2. It will not-be presumed that the parties
to a contract Intended to provide for the
doing of an Illegal act., or one which would
render tholr agreement void.
3. When It does not dearly appear on the
face of tho netitlon that the contract de
clared on Is void because of illegality It Is
error to sustain an objection to tho Intro
duction of plaintiff's evidence on ' that
eround.
4. In such a case where the defense- relied
on Is the Illegality of the contract It la
necessary to plead and prove such defense.

cause to this court by proceedings in error,
conditioned that the obligors 'shall piny

versed. Pound, C. division No. 3.
1. In order to be negotiable, an Instru
ment must bear on lis face entire certainty

2. Incorporation of i collateral agreement
In a promissory note, which requires pay
ment to be made or uncertain sums at un
certain t'men before maturity, and thus
renders It Impossible to say how much. If
anything, will be due at maturity, renders
the note non-uecotlable.
3. A note otherwise negotiable Is tiot ren
dered non-negotiable merely by a provision
to for or reference to collateral security.
4. But, when executed together ami as a
part of one transaction, a note und mort
gage securing It are to be construed to
gether and as one instrument. Hence, pro

CATTLE There' weM only a few odd
bunches of cattle in the yards this morning,
so a test of the market was not made. For
the week receipts have been very liberal,
as there la a gain over lust week amount
ing to about 3,u00 head and as compared
with the same week of tast year the In
crease sjnounts to about 6,imj head. For
the mvntb, ot May receipts have been very
heavy and have broken all previous rec
ords for that month except one. In May,
19JU, there were 81,900 caulc against 7o,uoo
this year, but as compared wllh May of
last year there is an increase of 2j,00o head.
The table of receipts ubove will show the
exact figures.
The cattle market this week has been
very uneven and prices have fluctuated
back and forth quite n-pUlly. At the
close of the week it Is sale to quote steers
generally lOifiloc lower than the close of
last week. All kinds have suffered, but the
good handy welshts have been In the beat
demand, while the heavy cattle have been
neglected. The commoner grades of cattie
sell largely from H.0V to $4.35, fair to good
from 34.40 to 34.60 and good to choice trom
34.hu to $5.00.
The cow market has also been moving
nn and down at a rauld rate and for the
week prices show a net loss of 1oCu25c. The
medium grades, such as have been Belling 1
from 13.75 to $4.00, have suffered about the
worst, but still all kinds are lower ex
cept canners, which have sold readily all
the week at steady prices. The commoner
grades of eow3 sell largely from $2.oy to
3.uo; fair to good from 13.25 to $3.78 and
good to choice from 3.7o to 84.2S.
Hulls are also a little lower for the
week In sympathy with the decline on
steers and cows. The bulk of them sell
from $3.00 to $3.75, -vlth choice grades Hell
ing from $3.75 to $4.00. Veal calves have
shown very Utile change.
There have been very few stockers and
feeders on sale this week, so that prices
have held steady on desirable grades In
spite of the fct that the demand has not
been very heavy. Thin cattle In particular
have been scarce and choice grades could
be quoted strong, but the warmed up corn
feds have been rather neglected and are
no more than steady, common grades are
selling largely from $3 26 to $3.75; fair to
good from Vi.75 to $4 25 and choice from
$4.25 to $4.50.

BHEEP-There were no fresh arrivuls of
sheep on hand this morning. For the week
receipts have been about nnrir.al for this
time of the year. There Is a decrease of
about 1.&0 head as compared with last
week, but an Increase of about l.Oeo hed
as compared with the same week of last
year, f'cr the month of May there Is an
increase as compared with the same month
of last year amounting to 11.000 head. For
the year to date the increase amounts to
over lM.uOO head.
The iiuallty of sheep received here this
week has been very inferior, and as a
result it is difficult to tell much about
what choice grades would bring From
tl action of buyers and from the tendency
of prices at other points, It is safe to
quote ewes, wethers and yearlings' of all
kinds fully a quarter lower. Common
lambs are also that much lower, but
strictly choice lambs have held steady. As
high ss 16 sn was paid this week for choice
clipped lambs.
There Is very little demand for feeders
at this time ot the year, and about all that
Is being offered In that line Is the culls
taken out of the fed stuff, and they sell at
verv uneven prices.

STRENUOUS DAYS AT ELLIS ISLAND
From Twt Taonsaad ta roar T
aad Arrivals Brer? Day Ple
toresqae Scenes In the Pea A
Princess la the Steerage,
These ars strenuous days down In the
New York pen, with anywhere from 2.000
to 4.000 emigrants coming In per day. Tha
big new room on the ground floor at Ellis
Island, where those who have been ad
mitted and are awaiting their friends are
secluded, resounds to many a sigh of Im
patience, and often a groan of anxiety.
After the long, wretched voyage, cooped In
the steerage, this last wait in the New
York pen seems the last maddening straw
to the weary, dirty, forlorn crowd Inside.
The men and children do not seem to mind
It much, but the women mind It a great
deal. They alt on their poor old half-burst
valises or on the big gunny sacks that
serve them for traveling Impedimenta, or
on the floor, If benches and baggage are all
occupied, and watch and watch the door.
Therein appears from time to time a big
man In blue clothes, who frantically bawls
forth words In many tongues, generally In
Italian. "Francesoa Salvlatl," ho yells;
"Sal via tl, Francesca. Venlte Qua. Presto!"
His voice Is raucous with much howling,
but never llmpldest Tuscan sounded tweeter
in Francesca's ear. She springs from the
board sachel, covered with flimsy, light
gray cotton, on which she has been sitting
wh'le bestowing upon her youngest Its
natural nourishment. The youngest Is
strapped In' a brown parcel, exactly like a
papoose, which bondage It endures with the
unearthly patience of the Italian bambino.
Francesca grasps the brown roll In one
arm, the baby whimpering faintly at this
rude Interruption of Its meal. Over her
shoulder she slings two brown sacks, tied
together In the middle. In her other hand
she grasps the huge satchel, which fairly
weighs her down. She gives a sharp com
mand, and the rest of her progeny fall In
line, five of them, little stepstairs, all the
way down from 9 years old.
Scenes la the Pea.
"Presto! presto! Hurry up!" yella the
man In blue clothes.
Francesca staggers toward the door.
She stumbles up some etepa and down
some others, through an anteroom crowded
with people, to an iron gate. Out of the
Iron gate and through another Iron gate,
and once more she la In an Iron pen, all
fenced around with grating.
"Mother of God." mutters Francesca.
"will they never have done putting me In
iron pens 7"
She wonders if she will have to atay aa
long In this one as she did In tha last. Two
whole days! Madonna mla! Franoesca
clasps her hands as well aa she can for
bags and the satchel and the pappoosa
bambino.
But, no. At the very moment when the
horrible thought sweeps over her another
man In blue clothes comes to another Iron .
gate and again bawls "Francesca Salvlatl."
Franceaca staggers forward again. The
man In blue clothes stops her. "There
should be five children," he says, and be
gins to count noses. Is the nobleman then
going to take her children from her? Bhe
clasps the brown baby tight. Poor Fran
cesca! No one would have her children.
They are a most undesltable commodity.
"Where'a the other one?" eaye the blue
nobleman. "You haven't got but four be
sides the kid."
It Is true. The naughty Oiuseppe la
lingering behind In the Iron cell, whence ha
Is hauled forth with contumely. How can
one poor woman keep track of a satchel,
two brown bags, a baby and five children?
Franceses has been so bewildered and so
blinded with the light In her eyes that she
could see nothing distinctly, and she did
not understand when the official called out:
"All right; this is your woman; come on
there." Somebody came on with a rush,
and suddenly Francesca sees Clclllo; yea.
It is her Clclllo, whom she has not seen for
ao many weary months, to whom she has
come all this weary way, ending In Inter
minable Iron pena and bawling, bluecoated
noblemen. A great light breaks over her
face, and happily there is the same light
on Clclllo's. He Is glad to see her and the
baby and the five children, and he takes
the bag and the two sacks and has still a
hand left for the last baby, whose little
nose was put out of joint; and together
they go away to find tha boat for the barge
office, and another family Is launched on
American life.
Rack In the New York pen the nobleman
In the door is still yelling names. Many
receive no response, and he calls them
over and over again. Anxious friends are
waiting outside, but the expected ones
have not yet arrived. At one side the door
two young men are busy all day sending
telegrams for emigrants. They are very
polyglot young men.
How Marbf
The first question askeo each patron of
the stand Is regarding his financial ability
to pay.
'Hast du geld?" asks one of them of a
customer.
"Avete danaro?" he asks the next.
And then, aa a spruce Irish lad steps
up he addresses him a!s in hi. native
tongue: "Sure, me bye, and can ye show
nje the money to pay?"
A woman comes up crying to say that

I h)8 oard an
Keapo!ltan dla
eapoiltan dialect, wnen tne gracious
gentleman will be so good as to let him out
and permit him to continue on his way to
America to make hi. fortune. He Is all
alone, a lad of ten or eleven, coming out
to an older brother. For some reason the
brother has not yet come to meet him.
The boy hss been waiting for two days,
and has kept up hi. gentle request through-
' out the time. He Is a charming little gamin
of the Naples pave, with nutbrown skin
and crisp black curls standing up all round
his ragged little cap. He Is neither
depreasfd nor unhappy. There Is an Impish
twinkle In his velvet black ye as he softly
badger, the man at the door and dodges the
cuff aimed at his ear. He talks ss much
with his fsce and his hands, his head and
shoulders as he does with his tongue. He
can earrr on an animated conversation
without speaking. He has a valise, which
contains nothing but a bright green tie,
a pair of shoes, snd a lump of sticky and
malodorous cheese, packed away In one of
the shoes. It Is with this equipment that
young Fellppo has come away to seek his
fortune In America. He has arought along
the cheese to supplement the steerage fare,
and presently he resorts to It to plecs out
the supper which the steamship company
begins to serve at 4 o'clock.
The surper consists of hunks not slices
of bread, and a dish of stewed prunes
apiece. The emigrants eat Just where they
are sitting and presently the floor Is a
shambles of prune pits, and every step
brings forth a sound as ot the explosion
ot torpedoes.
Age aad Patience.
On her two gunny sacks sits old Agata,
leaning against a wooden poet. She is In
front ot the door and keeps her eyes fixed
upon It at all times. Agata is old, very
old. Her face looks like a piece of brown
leather, carved with countless wrinkles.
She Is little snd stooped, and her king,
gold earrings hang down to her shoulders.
Her large shoes protrude from beneath
her short, scant skirt, and her withered
old hands are folded patiently on her lap.
Why should not Agata be patient T Has
she not had a hard life to make her so 7
Did not her husband die? Did not her son
come away to America? Did she not pick
olives for 3 cents a day? Has she not
come all this way, Imprisoned In that
pent-house of the waves because her son
sent her the ticket? And now they will not
let her go to her son. Ah, all countries
are alike. AH oppress the poor and the
old. This new country, this America, will
not let her go to her son. It will send her
back to Italy. Well, then, she will go back
to Italy snd die.
Old Agata had only the address of an
Italian banker to give when aha reached
the Island. They communicated with the
banker. He furnished the address ot the
son. But the son had moved, and has not
yet been found. The government will be
careful In this case; because If the old
wonjan has not good friends she will be
come an Immediate public charge.
80 old Agata sits and waits, uncsmpre
hendlngly. Among the hundreds of hatlcss, drooping
women sits one straight and slim as a
sapling, . neatly gloved and booted. She
wears a neat little gray cloth gown and
a trig little sailor hat, draped with some
soft white stuff. There Is a bunch of vio
lets at her breast. At a little distance they
look real and give an Indescribable touch
of elegance In the midst of all this frowsl
ness. Every line of her figure, every mo
tion of her body indicates a woman of
breeding and refinement. She is delicately
beautiful more than beautiful Interesting.
I Among the peasant women around her, her
face shines out "like a star amid the
gloom." What Is she, a gentlewoman, do
ing, sitting on her luggage on the floor of
the New York pen? And ot what nation
ality Is she? She Is not Italian,
though she is dark enough. She is not
Irish; she Is not German ; she is not a
Jewess. She carries no hallmark. She Is
cosmopolitan. 8he Is weary, but not dis
gusted with her present company. It seems
to distress her not at all that she la travel
ing steerage. Is she a Russian college stu
dent, fleeing persecution? In that case It
would be part of her faith to make herself
one of the lowly.
Suddenly she turns to old Agata. They
are calling her name at the door, but the
old ' woman does not hear. The fair un
known lifts her to her feet, grasps her
bags,. Impels her gently toward the door.
Agata goes, not understanding. She does
not understand anything till she catches
nt of Jin' b'ck- "y Calabrese, her
rletro, and goes away with him to a safe
corner in nis gitcnen, wnere she will mind
the children while Pletro goes out with the
pushcort. and his wife finishes "pants" at
6 cents the pair. '
And aa the observer follows a rich veil of
human Interest seems to linger behind over
the tired, dirty, frowsy New York pen,
and through It ahlnea the face of the beau
tiful, unknown, mysterious little princess of
the steerage. New York Commercial Ad

easy for the criminal radically to change
his appearance. It Is possible tor a man to
pose as a sailor, a farmer, a Bowery tough
or a pastor within, say, twenty-four hours.
Many criminals make a specialty of dis
guises, and I assure you tnat they can
alter their appearance to a remarkable de
gree. "Disguises, however, no matter how clev
erly gotten up, do not always conceal a
man'sv Identity. There are, for Instance,
the color and expression of his eyes. These
cannot possibly be altered, and they have
been one of thb most frequent aids In
Identifying fugitive criminals. Another
Identification mark, although not an Infal

I have on several occasions detected a
criminal when other means failed me, are
the cheek bones. Like the color of the
eyes, they cannot be changed.
"Descriptions as to the weight and cir
cumference of a 'wanted' man frequently
prove faulty, and therefore unreliable as
aids to detection. This Is especially so
where a man has evaded the detectives for
any great length of time, for It Is possible
that during Ms evasion the criminal may
have lost a great deal ot his weight and
corpulency, while, on the other hand, a
spare man may have gained in avoirdupois
