H DOYLE BIKSS CASE LP AGAIS
t -
i Argument Mai on Motie-n to Transfer it to
the Eqnitj Docktt.
I TRIAL IS SET FOR MARCH TERM OF COURT
I uumber of Attorneys In Case t'nable
j B Present at the Time Ortg-
j f Inslly t for Hearing,
Another round In the long drawn out
mining ult of Jamei Doyle ma I nut Jumps
F. Burns, president of ths Portland Gold
Mining company of Colorado, was fought
In the district court here yesterday, when
the motion of the defense to transfer the
case from the law to the equity docket
was argued befort Judge Thornell. The
motion of the plaintiff to strike the de
fendant's cross petition recently filed was
also argued.
Doyle was represented In court by John
N. Baldwin, George 8. Wright and A. B.
Askwlth, whilo Congressman Smith, Hon.
C. 8. Thomas, former governor of Colorado,
and Dillon Ross of this city appeared for
Burns.
On behalf of the defendant, it was ar
gued by his counsel that the suit was one
which should be properly tried In equity,
as the Issues could not be determined until
there had been an accounting between tho
parties to the alleged partnership In the
mining properties, which eventually were
absorbed by the Portland company.
In resisting tho motion to transfer, Mr.
Baldwin laid particular stress upon the
fact that when In tho original history of
the suit the Judgment secured by Doyle
by default, It was set aside on the distinct
understanding that Burns would rile an
answer and the caso would go to trial. He
contended that It was now unfair on the
part of the defendant and his counsel to
adopt dilatory tactics. Judge Thornell took
the matter under advisement and allowed
counsel time In which to file written briefs.
At a conference last evening between the
attorneys on both sides It was definitely
agreed that ths suit should be tried on
March 7 before Judge Thornell. It had
been assigned for the first Jury case at the
January term, but the defense asked for
a postponement, as both Senator Patterson
of Colorado and Congressman Smith of this
city could not be present, as they would
be In Washington. No matter what the
decision of the court may be on the mo
tion to transfer the suit to the equity
docket, the case will be tried at that date.
If the motion Is sustained the case will bo
tried to the court alone and If refused, it
will be tried again before a Jury.
Rooms at the Grand hotel were reserved
last night lj? his counsel for Mr. Doyle and
twenty witnesses, for Murch 7.
Chimney to He Dynamited.
Dynamite will have to be used to raze
the tall chimney of the Puller A Johnson
Shugart company's warehouse which was
destroyed by fire last Tuesday night. All
efforts to dislodge the chimney, even, with
a switch engine attached to the cables,
failed. It is feared, however, that the chim
ney might eventually collapse If Jarred by
a passing locomotive, so an attempt to
loosen the bond by using dynamite will be
made sometime Tuesday.
Manager Wells of the Fuller & Johnson
Shugart company stated last evening that
the negotiation for temporary quarters
wera still pending but would probably . be
settled Monday.

GREAT XOKTHEIIVS BIG PLASS
Million to Re Spent In Terminals and
Improrements In Mom City.
SIOUX CITY. Ia., Dec. 31. (Special Tele
gramsThe Great Northern railway today
made formal announcement of Its plans for
building in Sioux City. The road will spend
$1,000,000 in Sioux City In the near future If
plans announced today are carried out.
The Journal says:
'The Great Northern proposes to erect a
double-track steel elevated structure from
the combination bridge over the Missouri
river down Third street to Division street, a
distance of 7,950 feet; lay a union Industry
track on the surface of Third street; con
struct a fine passenger station at Fourth
and Howard streets and restore Its machine
shops In Division street. All this Is pre
liminary to the early construction of links
of rallrond in Nebrnska to connect the
Great Northern and Burlington systems."
The Great Northern has already pur
chased tlO.OOO worth of terminal property
In Sioux City. .
John L. Snapp of Seattle has been In the

Great Northern. ,
Sew Line Is Defective.
CLINTON, la., Dec. 31. (Special.) The
Burlington Railway company has run a
freight train over the new cutoff between
Thomson and Fcnton and found the track
In such bad condition that the company has
refused to accept It and the construction
company will have to do a large amount of
work before the track will be fit for serv
ice. The track crosses three peat beds ana
under the heavy weight of the freight cars
the track sagged to such an extent that
couplings were torn loose and the ends of
some of the cars were damaged. When
constructing the line the company had a
large amount of trouble In these peat beds,
but thought It had overcome all obstacles.
The railway company had moved Its office
from East Clinton to Fenton and Intended
to use the new line, which Is ten miles
long andsaves the company a long, steep
grade the coming winter. However the
telegraph office has) been moved back to
East Clinton and no further effort will be
made to use the new line until it has been
placed in first-class condition, perhaps next
spring.

CONDITION OFQMAILVSTRADE
Business Either Light Last Wtek in Nearly
All Lines,
SLIGHT REDUCTION IN RUBBER GOODS
Snsrar Market Advances Fire Cents
and Coffee Very Firm, bnt Other
Lines Quoted Abont Same
as Week Aio,
Taking Inventory was the principal order
of biislnes with Omaha Jobbers and manu
facturers lat wek and the same was true
with the majority of retailers out through
the country. ery few traveling men were
on the road and as a result the volume of
business transacted by Jobbers was rather
small, tne same as is aiways the case ne
tween Christmas and New Years. Retail
ers, of course, had a auiet time as com
pared with the previous week, but at tho
same time tne severe cold weatner tne eariy
part of the week forced peop.e wno were
obliged to be out -of doors to buy consid
erable heavy stuff. The latter part of the
week heavyweight goods did not move so
ireeiy, out trade on general lines was bet
ter. Taking the week as a whole both Job
bers and retailers find that for the time of
year the demand was all that could be ex
pected. Traveling men who are In the city have
favorable reports regarding conditions
existing In their respective territories. They
say that while some complaints are heard
of the slow movement of heavyweight goods
that nearly every merchant had a better
holiday trade than ever before experienced.
In other words, the lack of demand for
strictly cold weather goods has been more
than made up for by the brisk demand for
otner lines. .Merchants are also very nope
fill for the future and consequently when
traveling aien start out this week they ex
pect to do a nice bUHlness on futures, be
sides picking up a good many Immediate
orders. A great effort Is to be made to
break the excellent showing made a year
ago In the way of advance business.
There have been comparatively few mar
ket changes during the week under review
and In fact only one of Importance was re
ported. Reference Is mado to change in
rubber prices for the coming year.
Woolen r.oods to Be Higher.
The upward tendency of the wool market
during the last several months will In all
probability be felt to quite an extent when
people come to buy their next fall woolens.
In speaking of the condition of the maiket
a local Jobber suld that :t looks now very
much as though woolen and worsted goods
next fall will be considerably higher than
for the last several years. The reason for
this will be readily understood when It Is
known that the l:i4 clip of wool was sold at
about 14 cents per pound. The lKuo clip Is
now neing contracted at prices ranging
from L'o cents to 25 cents per pound. As a
result of this condition certain grades of
worsted yarns have already advanced con
siderably and are hard to find. It Is stated
on reliable authority that the Boston mar
ket Is almost bare of this grade of stock.
The lines moat affected are wool and
worsted yarn used In the manufacture of
dress fabrics, as the better qualities alom,
can be used in this character of merchan
dise. In regard to woolen blankets, underwear
and other staple linos of that character It is
difficult to tell at this time Just what the
course of the market will be. A considerable
quantity of those lines are being made from
lower priced wool and consequently the ad
vances on that class of goods will probably
not be as rapid.
The cotton goods market has not shown
much chnnge since last report. Prices on
most lines seem to be on a good, firm basis,
with prospects favorable for a good,
healthy, active market for some time to
come.
So far as the local trade situation Is con
cerned in dry goods there Is not much to be
said. Traveling men were off the road and
consequently business was confined mostly
to a few mall orders for lines that retail
ers needed at once. After merchants get
through Invoicing, though, a falrlv good
sorting up business Is expected and 'travel
ing men are confident of doing a nice future
business.
slight Reduction In Rubber Goods.
Omaha rubber goods jobbers received
word the latter part of laBt week from
the so-called Rubber trust to the effect
that beginning January a there will be a
Slight reduction in most styles of boots
and a few styles of lumberman overs. At
tho sume time It Is announced that on
April 1 there will be an advance of 6 per
cent. Not only that, but the prices which
become effective January 2 are Bubject to
change at any time without notice. It will
be remembered that last year price were
marked up two different times without any
notice being given. Jobbers simply receiving
a telegram to advance their prices on that
day. If the same should happen this year
It would cause no surprise, particularly if
the price of raw rubber should continue to
advanca.
Just what action the independent manu
facturers will take Is not known, but word,
will probably be received on Monday.
Besides a slight reduction in the list
firice of the above mentioned lines, there
s also a little difference In terms. Jobbers
can now bill out goods shipped after Janu
ary 2. dated April 1, thirty days, which
makes the bill due May 1. In other words,
merchants can buy either heavy or light
weight goods this week and have four
months in which to pay for them. Had
It not been for this change they would only
have had the usual thirty days. Another
change U that detailed orders for fall and
winter goods taken now for goods to be
shipped after April 1 can be dated Novem
ber 1. thirty days.
Among the more Important styles on
which reductions In list prices have been
made are the following: Men's short all
duck boots, men's short duck vamp boots,
men gum boots, men's duck perfection
one-buckle, men's duck Hurons, buckle or
lace, men's gum perfection one-buckle,
men's gum Huron, buckle or lace, and
boys' duck perfection.
In regard to the condition of trade locally.
i nbbers say that the storm last week
irought In quite a few orders for heavy
goods and the mud toward the end of the
week helped some no lightweight stuff.
The reduction In price- It Is thought will
help materially In securing advance orders
at an early date. Many retailers thought
last spring that the much talked of ad
vances would not materialise and as a re
sult a good proportion of them lot money
by it. That will naturally make them want
to get In this year at the bottom prices.
Leather goods were rather quiet last week
the same as usual at this time of the year.
Jobbers, however, look for quite a few
sizing up orders during the next few weeks
and are also counting on landing a good
many advance orders.
Hardware Active and Steady.
There was a good demand for hardware
last week which makes the total amount
of business transacted by Omaha Jobbers
during the month far ahead of any previous
December. The demand was general for all
seasonable and staple lines. Most of the
houses closed on Saturday and will also be
closed tomorrow for the purpose of taking
inventory.
The market Is In practically the same
position It was a week ago. Prices are
firm at the advances quoted, but no further
changes have taken place. It will cause no
Btirprlse, however, to see hlcher prices on
several lines shortly after the first of the
yusr. and In fact Jobbers have been con
ducting their business with that Idea In
view.
Groceries Net Very Active.
Wholesale grocera did not do a very rush
ing business last week, but that was to
be expected. Merchant Were busy cleaning
up the remnants of their Christmas stocks
and the majority of consumers were In
much the same position. That being the
case, there was comparatively little busi
ness In sight, especially as traveling men
were not on the road.
The only change of importance In the
market Is an advance of & cents on augar
In New Orleans, which causes s corre
sponding advance at this point. The New
York market has advanced 10 cents, but as
this market Is based on the New Orleans
quotations, the advance amounts to only
6 cents.
The coffee market Is still very firm with
receipts of Brasll coffee very light. The
option market has advanced about ty cent
and higher prices on spot stocks Is looked
for after the first of the year.
Other lines of staple groceries are sell
lag In Just about tlie same notches they
were a week ago.

templation for some time. The new laws
provide for fines for non-attendance at
drills and It la thought will have the ef
fect of stimulating a more prompt attend
ance. The new form of receipt and order for
the semi-annual password combined has
so many objectionable features that ths
supreme keeper of records and seal will
soon have another form printed. Until
this new form la received the Omaha
lodges will use the old form of receipt,
and the new form for the word.

NO HEREDITARY DISEASES
Ruck Statement Is Made In Address to
Scientists at Philadelphia
Meeting.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31 The annual
convention of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science came to
an end with todny session. This conven
tion has been the most successful In the
history of the association, both In attend
ance and vnrlety and number of Important
topics discussed. At today's session a pa
per of much Important to the medical pro
fession was read by Dr. P. A. Malgnen of
this city on the desirability of founding an
Institution for the study of blood poison.
Dr. Malgnen said that nearly all dueaaes
could be traced to poison In the blood. He
also made the claim that disease Is not
hereditary. He said, In part:
From a careful study I have become con
vinced thnt It Is of paramount Importance
to the public health that an Institute be
founded In this country for the special
study of blood poison, particularly as re
gards the first step of Infection. We know
practically nothing of the Immediate phe
nomena which aptear nt the beginning of
the disease. There are eighteen known
ways of Infection, which constitute a very
largo program for study.
Some of the diseases Included In this list
are said to be hereditary, such as cancer,
tuberculosis and gout. The presumption
now is that heredity has nothing to do
with them, and that the word hereditary Is
used like thnt of temperament or constitu
tion or predisposition.

Donne After n Game.
The wires nre already being laid for a
foot ball game In Omaha next Thanksgiv
ing day between the Crelghton and Dnan
teams. While the Dnane end of the line la
not ready to announce the matter as set
tled, yet the members of the Doane College
Athletic association feel reasonably confi
dent that present negotiations will not
prove futile. Thev believe that the two
teams next In runk to the university ought
to close the season with a game In Omaha
and they also express the opinion that such ,
a game would be appreciated and supported
by the foot ball population of both Crete
and Omaha. Both teams showed up welt
during the season Just past, and It Is safe :
to sav that the proposed game here next
Thanksgiving day would bring out a large
attendance and would be an event of more
than local Interest In the foot ball world.
The Crelghton foot ball men are now con
sidering the proposal made to them by
Doane, and It Is generally hoped the pfe.
llminarles may soon be arranged and the t,,"
game be Jotted down on the foot ball caJen-. .
