Frank Mftrtin, aged 4G. In dying at the
fcouth Omaha hospital an the result of In
juries sustained through Jumping from a
Burlington freight train near Fortieth and
t streets Saturday night. Martin Is so
badly Injured that he can scarcely speck
and the attending physicians hnve no hopes
Of his recovery. The Injured man was
found by the side of the Burlington track
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning end a mes
aage was at once sent to police headquar
ters. A conveyance was procured and Mar
tin was removed to the hospital. Drs.
Kelly, Snpp and Slabaugh were called, Dut
could do but little. An Investigation by
the doctors showed that Martin had broken
both Jiw bones, the cheek bonea and the
nasal bones. In fact, his face waa com
pletely crushed. For several hours after
reaching the hospital the patient waa un
able to articulate. When he managed to
peak he said that he had fallen from a
Burlington freight train during the night.
The police auppose that he tried to board
or alight- from a moving train and was
stru.k by a brake beam.
Martin's parents reside at Marshalltown,
la.. They have been notified by telegraph
and are expected here today. Martin Is
an ex-convlct. Blnce his release from the
penitentiary he has been boarding at Tom
Gillespie's place at Thirty-ninth and L
street. The doctors say he cannot pos
sibly live more than a day or two.
Cavalry Troop Camp.
Captain Bruce McCulloch of the South
Omaha cavalry troop said last night that
the cavalry troop would not go Into camp
at York with the Nebraska National guard
The captain said that the troop will camp
In the vicinity of 8outh Omaha some time
In September or early In October. By camp
ing near home the troopers will be able to
use their own horses and a much larger
attendance at the maneuvers will be the
result.
Watchmen for Crossing;.
Certain members of the city council have
decided that Watchmen are needed at the
grade crossings at F street, and also at
the Burlington crossing at Thirty-ninth and
L streets. An ordinance Is to be read at
the meeting tonight directing the rail
roads to employ and maintain watchmen
at these crossings, in order that accidents
may be prevented. Several times In the
last few years the council has attempted
to pass ordinances similar to the one to
be read tonight, but the railroads ' have
always given an excuse of some sort and
the law In respect to watchmen at grade
crossings has never been fully enforced.
It Is understood that the present ordinance
will be passed.
City Conncll Tonight.
Thla evening the city council will meet
and most likely pass five Improvement
ordinances, which were read f6r the second
time at the last meeting. It Is expected
that the water company franchise ordi
nance will be reported on by the Judiciary
committee and that the ordinance will then
be read for the second time.
There is absolutely no truth In the re
port that the Nebraska Telephone company
will ask for an extension of Its franchise
at this time. The telephone franchise has
nearly eight years to run yet, consequently
there Is no necessity for applying for an
extension at this time.
Pavement Worn Oat.
The pavement on Twenty-fourth street
la woroe now than It waa before the re
pairs, costing $2,C00, were made. From J
street south to N street, on both sldea of
the street, the holes are almost deep
enough to mire a buggy. The street de
partment Is to be requested to fill these
big holes with broken stone, as the only
pavement wanons can travel on is between
the street car rails. By using broken stone
and cement the city can muke temporary
repairs which will not ' cost more than
$160, and this will most likely be done.

HE. WAS A 'PERFECT DEAR"
Shrewd Ite.se of the Original t. Loots
"Boodler" In Managing a Beer
Garden,
Frlti Adolphy, the original St. Louis
"bDodler," died at Clifton, Arls., recently.
Ha waa 88 years old. He went to Clifton
many years ago and established a brewery
that waa the wonder of the mining camp.
He waa' prosperous for several years, but
his liberality toward his friends left him
poor In his old age.
Frltx once conducted a large beer garden
In St. Louis where beer was served by
women. In an unusual virtuous streak,
the city fathers passed an ordinance that
verged upon the blue laws and attacked
eld Frlti's main drawing card. It was
that no women should act ns waitresses
to serve beer. A shrewd lawyer found a
hole In this ordinance by which tho daugh
ter of the owner of a place might serve
her father's guests. Frits then took the
step that may eventually make him a
patriarch like unto Abraham. He called
all his waitresses, about ninety, and hied
with them to the orphans' court where he
adopted them all as his daughters.
For many years these dutiful maidens
served their foster father's patrons with
profit to themselves, Frits, and certain
delegates. The range of nationality In the
waitresses would Indicate that the old Rus
sian had gathered his family from aa many
countries as Solomon himself. From fair
Gretchens to swarthy daughters of Italy
and saucy American girls, they swarmed
about the confines of Fritx Adolphy's
malten Utopia. It Is said that thin incident
opened ' Ed" Butler'a eyea to the money
In "graft."
The old man was of a noble Russian
family. He spoke several languages
fluently. He waa a soldier by profession
and came to the United States to Join the
northern, army. He won honors In his
military career and It waa subsequent to
thla that he went to St. Louis. He had
lived all over .America. His place In Clif
ton waa like an oasis In a desert of bad
cookery. Its furnishings were old-fashioned
and dingy and the service was not the
most fashionable by any means, but the
viands prepared under his careful scrutiny
tickled mountain palates. The grumbling
and dissatisfied guests had little assurance
from him.
"Go to a sheep camp and get your din
ner," he said boldly to a drunken des
perate "cow puncher" who ventured crltl
clnm. Adolphy had lived In this new coun
try long enough to be counted one of the
oldest of the old-timers. All the business
houses and even the gambling "Joints"
were closed during- bis funeral hour. Kan

Horseshoe Mill Starts Work.
Wednesday evening the first sixty
stamps of the new 120-stamp mill of the
Horseshoe Mining company began to drop.
and on Friday afternoon the other sixty
were In operation. The new plant of the
company is located in Terry, right at the
mines of the company and convenient for
the economic handling of ores. The plant Is
a wet crushing cyanide, and the ore which
is being supplied to It Is taken right from
the surface of the ground, scrapers being
used to load a greater part of It on the
cars and wagons. The mill at the present
time has & capacity of about 600 tons of
ore a day, but will be increased so that
It will be crushing 1,200 before the first
of the eomlng year. It will be one of the
most complete plants In the Hills, and
one of the largest, the only one having
a greater capacity being the Amicus mill
of the Homestake company. Under the
new management the affairs of the com
pany has been placed in excellent shape,
the mistakes of the former management
have been corrected and It Is not presum
ing to say that when the company next
pays a dividend It will have earned it, and
that the dividends will become a regular
monthly occurrence within a short time,
dating from the operation of the new mill.
Rellanee Elects Officers.
The annual meeting of the Reliance
Mining company was held In Deadwood
last Wednesday and the following board of
directors elected for the year: 8. E. Olson,
Minneapolis; C. W. Brlnsted, Omaha; F.
W. Medbury, F. W. Bower, Deadwood;
J. C. Wass, Centervllle. B. D. The board
of directors elected the following officers:
8. E. Olson, president; F. W. Medbury,
secretary and general manager; E. H.
Bennett of Lincoln, Neb., treasurer. The
question of erecting a mill of large ca
pacity on the ground of tho company.
which Is located on the east side of Spear
fish creek, was discussed and the result
was that a committee composed of the
directors and some of the principal stock
holders was appointed and authorized to
mnke the necessary arrangements for the
plant. A mlllalte has been chosen and
the wo.': k of excavating for the foundations
and en) ing the site will begin next woek.
The company owns one of the best proposi
tlons on the slllclous ore belt, and liai
more or :han any other company at work
In the district exposed. The ore is of ex
cellent gnde and an Ideal cyanldlng prop
osltlon.
The Improvements on the Big Four com
pany'n ground in Deadwood gulch have
been practically completed and the full
development of the property will be rapidly
pushed. The new boilers have been In
stalled and the hoist Is In operation and
everything about the plant Is working
smoothly. It Is the Intention of the com
pany to sink 600 feet and at that level begin
drifting on the ore body. The showing
so far made baa been excellent.
Rex Makes a Strike.
Another rich strike has been made In the
shaft which Is being sunk by the Rex
Mining company on its ground south of
Lead which Is better than anything which
has been made in late years In that sec
tion. The new find is a white quarts, and
so thickly covred are some of the spec!
mens taken from the shaft that there ap
pears to be more gold than rock. The
Strike was made last Thursday at a depth
of thirty-five feet, and the rich ore com
pletcly fills the bottom of the shaft. The
company has ordered a holxt, and will
sink on the lodge for a eouple of hundred
feet, but before that depth has been
reached will cut stations and drift along
the course of the vein.
Work on the foundations for the big mill
which the Thenix company will build on
Blacktail gulch will begin within a week
or ten days, the grading of the site has
about been completed. R. M. Moloney
general manager of the company, Is now
In Chicago, where, it is siid, he has .let
the contract for furnishing the machinery
for the mill, which will be a plant of 20
tons dally capacity. The mine is receiving
development, work having been started
upon t an Hoe-foot Incline, which will tap
the old workings, and through which the
oro will be supplied to the mill. This in
O'lie she ft. It Is figured, will be completed
and equipped with the necersary hoisting
pia-.l'i!icry befo.e the new mill Is com
pleted. The l'henlx has a well developed
property and vast renerves of ore blocked
out which can be made available at any
time. This ore will go. aa has been proven
by numerous asiviys. better than 16.50 per
ton. about 40 par cent being free milling
The wet crushing cyanide process will be
used to save the values.
Big Copper Plant to Start.
CUSTER CITY, 8. D., Aug. 23.-(Bpeclal.)
Arrangements have been completed for
starting up the 100-ton plant of the Cen
tral Black Hills Copper company, and a
run will be made on ore from the com
pany's property about ten miles northeast
of this city. Several eastern parlies In
terested In the property have arrived and
hav visited the mines snd will be present
when the initial run is made. The ore
which is being taken from the workings
of the company Is said to be very rich,
running as high as 17 per cent copper.
Hell's canyon. In the Limestone range,
promises to be the scene of great copper
developments In the future If one may Judge
from the float which has been brought
In from that locality. John Collins, while
prospecting In the canyon last week, came
across lots of float, some of It carrying
native copper. He says that the moun
tain sides In places Is covered with It, and
that tho Indications for the discovery of
big and rich ledges of copper ore are very
good. Some of the specimens which he
has brought Into Custer City run very
high.
W. W. Olds Is pushing development work
on the Ruberta group of claims at Four
Mile, and now has the big working shaft
which he Is sinking down 175 feet. The
ore continues to be of high grade, and at
the present depth the ledge appears to be
stronger than nearer the surface. A little
water Is coming Into the shaft, but not
In sufficient quantities to Interfere With
operations. A party of eastern gentle
men Interested In the ground with Mr.
Olds is on the property Investigating con
ditions and It Is said that the result will
be the building of a mill upon It.
Manager Mlttnacht of the eastern syn
dicate which a few weeks ago purchased
the Kimball property, consisting of the
King Solomon and adjacent claims, this
week concluded negotiations for the pur
chase of the Beardsloy, Thompson and
Dwyer properties, which will give the
new company an acreage of something
over three hundred acres. A pumping
plant and new hols will be erected at
once at the King Solomon shaft, which Is
200 feet deep and three compartments, and
work of sinking It deeper will be com
menced. A saw mill Is being brought In
for the purpose of getting out lumber for
office buildings, machine shops and stables
and a large force of men will soon bo em
ployed on the property.

CATTLE There were only lust a few
bunches of cattle here this morning und
practically no business was transacted.
For the week the receipts show an increase
01 about c.ooo nead over last woek s supply
but as compared witn tne same weex last
year there Is a decrease of about 6,iK
head. The decrease, however, Is In the
supply of westerns, as fully as many corn
feds are being received as arrived a year
Earlv in the week owing to favorable
prospects of a heavy run of western beef
cattle corn fed steers suffered a sharp de
cline. By the middle of the week, however.
the tUDnlv of grans beef was short und
packers were again anxious for corn feds
and prices began to improve. The loss
nas now oeen ruuy regained so mat corn
fed steers If at all desirable are fully
steady with the close of last week. Short
fed cattle have been selling at very uneven
prices cwing to tne tact tnat tney nave
boen coming in competition with the
westerns. As a general thing, how
ever, they too are steady for the
week. Warmups, however, have been
neglected and have had to cell at the
came prices paid for grassers. Choice corn
reus may De quoted from lo.oo to I0.40, talr
to good from $4.60 to $4.90. and short fed
cattle from $4.00 to $4.50.
The cow market Is also about steady for
the week. The same as steers prices broke
early in the week but have since recovered
thi loss. The market as a whole has been
very satisfactory as each day's offerings
nave been well cared for. Canneis sold
largely from $1.76 to $2.25; fair to good gr.,ss
cown iruiu ts.w ui anu (fund io ciuil.'
irom is.oc to Yi.au witn sometning fancy
above that. Corn feds could be quoted fr-.'m
$4.75 to $4.26.
Bulls, veal calves and stags have sold in
Just about the same notches all the week,
although calves are If anything stronger
as high aa $5.25 having been paid.
There has been a rood demand for feeders
all this week and in fact the demand lias
been a little In excess of the supply and an
advance of fully KxfilSc has taken place.
In some cases salea have been made that
looked even better than that. The In
ferior grades of course have not been ss
feady sellers and have not shown as much
mprovement. The better grades of feed
ers have sold largely from $3.60 to $3.85,
though something strictly choice would of
course bring more. Fair to good stuff sold
from ts.za to U.bU and common stuff from
$3.25 down.
The Quality or tno range beer sloers that
have arrived so fur has been rather disap
pointing. They have not been killing out
well and are far from being as good as
those that arrived a year ago at this time.
Packers, however, have taken hold of them
freely this week and the market is a little
higher than it was a week ago. Good to
choice steers may be nuoted from 13.75 to
$4 26, though something strictly choice
would undoubtedly ecu considerably alxivn
$4.25. Fair to good cattle Bold from $3.50
to $3.75 and the commoner grades went firm
$3.40 down. Range cows may be quoted
steady for the week while western Blockers
and reeoers aro ruuy waiac higher than
they were a week ago.
HOGS There was a light run of hos
here today and the market improved a lit
tle. The general market could aafelv be
quoted at 6al0c higher, with the heavy hogs
snowing iuuy as mucn improvement as tne
light weights. Trading was fairly uctlve
so the early arrivals were disposed of In
good season. Several trains though were
late in arriving and that delayed the clone
of the market until a late hour. The heavy
hogs sold mostly for $5.20 to $5.30; mediums
went from $6.30 to $5.35 and lights from $5.5
to $6.60, with a bunch at $5.65.
Receipts of hogs have been very light for
the week as there Is a decrease as com-
Fared with last week amounting to about
2.O11O head and as compared with the same
week of last year there Is a decrease of
about 8.000 head. The low day of the
week was Wednesday, when the average
was down to $5 12. or about IS eents lower
than the close of the previous week. Blnce
that time, however, the tendency of prices
has been upward ao that closing prices are
a little higher than those in force at the
close of last week. The quality of the
hogs coming forward Is good for this time
of the yeur. Representative sales:

SHEEP There were no fresh receipts of
sheep and lambs again today, so a trst of
the market has not inen made since
Thursday. The receipts for tho week have
cot been heavy at this point, as there 1 a
decrease of about t.000 head as c -mpurod
with last week and of about 14.0 u head as
compared with the same week of iait year.
One thing to be noticed, however, is the
fact that a large truVortlon 0f the offer
ings have ben rat enough for killers. He
cripts of fat etuff at other poinia bive alio
beta liberal and as a result there has boea
more stuff on sale than packers needed for
their Immediate ttqulienients mid the
tendency ot prices has been oownward.
The general market on fat sheep and
lambs can best be described by calling It
l.Vyjnc lower, with lambs Buttering the
greatest decline. This bresk In pi Ices is
110 wurse than at other points, so the mar
ket here Is still well In line.
The demand for feedirs has been active
all the week and drrlrable grsdes may be
quoted about steady, 'lhe common stuff,
however, in some cases has shown a sight
reduction.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22. Dullness pervaded
tne grain pita today and 011 continued
iavornble weather wheat ruled weak. Sep
tember closing Htf'c lower. September
corn was off Uc, cats t.ecllned itiVic, but
provisions were unchanged to 6c higher.
Trading in wheat was of a very tame
character and prices were conslderaoly un
settled. Tho opening was easier under
the Influence of excellent weather In lhe
northwest, September being c lower at
80S0. There was a fair demand the first
hour on fears of rain In the spring wheat
belt nnl the market turned quite tlrm,
September advancing to R(Ac, but the gen
eral trend f crop news was if a bearish
nature and free liquidation soon caused
a dec die. Liberal clearances and re
ceipts of new wheat at Minneapolis were
depressing Influences lit the latter part
of the session. The close was near the
bottom price of the day, September being
Stio iower at 7tQ,9Tc; after selling
down to 7tSiC. Clearances of wheat ana
flour were equal to 253,900 bushels. Primary
receipts were 313,900 bushels, against 824.800
bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duiuth reported receipts of 225 cars, which
with local receipts of 89 cars, 1 of con
tract grade made total receipts for the
three points 814 cars against 196 cars isst
week, and 4S6 cars a year ago.
Corn showed a slight Improvement In
the early transactions, but trade was dull,
with the bull leaders making no special
efforts to support the market and conse
quently prices soon turned weak. There
was an absence of outside business and
nothing conscious In the local trade. There
weather In the corn belt was all that could
be desired for the crop and movement.
After selling between &lfy52c, September
closed at 61Hc; a loss of He, December
was off Ho, closing at 61,c. Local re
ceipts were 278 cars, with thirty of con
tract grade.
Oats was chiefly affected by the liberal
selling on the part of a prominent Interest.
It was estimated that over 500,000 bushels
of December and May were sold out by tho
bull leaders, and with a rather limited de
mand the market developed considerable
weakness. The weather continued favor
able for threshing and movement. Sep.
tembor cosed jjVic lower' at 34'V(f34So
after ranging between S&Vi'USS. Local re
ceipts were 222 cars.
Provisions ruled firm enrly In the day on
a amaller run of hogs and better prices at
the yards, and with a good demand from
longs for October lard and ribs, together
with covering by shorts. A firm under
tone preval'ed throughout tho entire ses
sion, although profit taking resulted In a
loss of most of the early gain. Septem
ber pork dosed unchanged at 312.87V4; Sep
tember lard was up Vc.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
100 cars; corn 310 cars; oats, 235 cars; hogs,
87.000 head.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 23. The compara
tive steadiness of cotton had no apparent
effect in developing business on the 'cloth
market last week, muny operators waiting
tor estimates of the coming crop. There
was some Increase In the life and move
ment of the market during the earlier
days of the week, but buslne s later
dropped again into dullness. Offers from
India for good sheetings were reported to
be nearer practical price, though these
latter have bi en sirengthened lately bv the
stoppage of the looms. Business for China
has not materially Improved, though It
was better than on Ind an account. Trans
actions for the Levant and the various
Mediterranean ports wern almost to a
standstill owing to the political unres' Pi
the near east. With regard to yarns,
Homo spinners found a rather better do
mand for home made twists and were able
to insist on better rates for small quan
tities. Certain kinds of American wefts
are getting scarce and some believe that
matters will materially Improve before
September is out.
