HOLIDAY BUSINESS THE LARGEST EVER Short Loll Expelled and Then Bis; Trade Again Retail Stocks Well t leaaed I p Changes la the Markets. This last week lias seen the climax of the hollduy trade with Omalia retailers. People have thronged the stores in such numbers that it has been almost Impossi ble to wait on all of them, and the Christ mas trade lias been tiie largest the mer chants have ever known. ith the excep tion of shoes and heavy dry goods and clolnliig, the demand has extended to all lines, 'these exceptions to the aeueral rule are caused by the warm weather. A no ticeable fai.-t. Indicating the general pros I'Oiuy, is mat a belter grade of fcoods has been soid than usual. Repot is from coun try louiiers who gel their wares in Omaha are to the enect that they have had an enormous trade and expect It to continue. umaiia jobbers have been pleasantly sur prised that the big dem and for goods con tinued light up to Christmas. Usually the trado fans oil four or ttve days before, but this year, especially In hardware and groceries, it has been sustained in volume through the whole week. The wholesalers expect a lull for about a week and then a big business for the rest of the win ter. The year will close as a record breaker in the hlBtory of the city's job bing business. Collections, although fair all fall, have been better the last week, owing to the lsrge Christmas trade of country retail ers, enabling them to meft bills for goods oidered. '1 ne stocks of the retailers have been largely cleaned up and they will be compelled to replenish their stores Im mediately. There have been no fluctuations In prices of large consequence. Values are on a sound, healthy bHSls, nnd if there are to be any changes they will be In the direction of higher prices. A strong feeling exists in almost all lines and Jobbers are advising their customers to lay In a supply of cer tain goods before higher prices are named. This Is especially true In shoes and some lines of dry goods. Dry Goods Will Advance. Local dry goods Jobbers have been too busy the last week to look closely to sales. The wlndup of the year's business, tne opening of new goods and the preparations for tilling advance orders have kept them busy In all departments. The order busi ness, however, both direct and from trav eling salesmen, has been good, even though house trade has suffered because the re tailers In tributary territory have been too busy to lenve their stores. The retail trade In all of Omaha's territory hus been much iu excess of former years ond has left stocks In Fo,.d condition for the beginning of spring business. In a few days the retailers will be informed of many ad vances which are to be made soon by the jobbers, and already many well Informed LEGAL NOTICES STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

O UU aoejyt Monday. dealers are anticipating their wants In lines where prices will go up. As a reflex of the country trsde collections have been better than usual with the Jobbers. i ne Mme men are still waiting for cold weather, when they expect to make up for lost time. Prices sre still tending up ward. l.cral Joblers say they expect tn see shoe manufacturers get together soon after the opening of the new year and agree on an advance larger than hss yet been made. It is said that on the basis of present prices for hides the manufac turers are doing business on too small a margin, and If hides advance more they will have to fill some contracts st a loss. Omaha dealers sre now selling st $1.17 a class of shoes which cost $128 laid down In Omaha at the recent advances. Tlieso shoes were formerly sold at wholesale at 90 cents. Yet It Is said they have not kept pacs with the advance In leather. Rubber goods are In small demand along with shoes. The fall has not been wet enough to clean up the stock which re tailers had already on hand. Lending; Grocery Staples Qolel. The grocery trade Is very well satisfied with the year's business. Holiday trade has been sustained until the last day. This coming week a lull is expected. No changes have taken place in the sugar situation, prices being practically the same in both raw and refined. It is hardly probable that there will be a change In the next few days. No quota tions will be made until Tuesday on ac count of the holiday cessation of the mar kets. Prices on cheese are about the same. Mnai reinilera have secured their stock before cold weather and consequently the volume of business in this staple is growing less with !- wholesalers. , , There Is some strength In coffee, based on talk of a proposed export duty to be made by the Braslllan government. Such news comes every year, however, the lira Lilians all being sellers, and, naturally, nuns on coffee. Sevens are up V cent since a week ago, being now quoted at B'i cents. The market Is tlrm at present quotations. Local wholesale trade has been good until the last few days. Two large coffee ex porting firms of Brazil have estimated the imwini eron at a much smaller figure than that of last year. One has made the crop of Rio No. 8 at 250.0UO baga and the other 8,760,000 begs. Managers of the flsh departments In Omaha Jobbing houses are advising their customers to place orders for flsh at once, on the prospect for a steady advance on the eninllness of slocks They say there Is absolutely no proBpect for lower prices and every indication that quotations will bo considerably higher before spring. Family white flsh has advanced materially in tho last two or three weeks and Is still going higher. Bullish Feeling In lllee. Rice Is attracting considerable attention lust now. A local firm has Just sent out a letter to the trade which shows the posi tion of this article. The domestic crop was only about half that of 1!4 and the carry-over also only about half that of 1904. In all, about 3.750.0UO baps were avail able for 1906, this amount to be cut down by 200,000 bags for seeding purposes. Since the average consumption of rice for the last few years has been In excess of 4.50", 000 bags, the reason for expecting high prices can readily be seen. The situa tion makes It necessary to look to for eign countries for nt least l.OUUiOO bags, nnd at present Imported Japans are offered at a basis of He to So above domestic Japans. Jobbers confidently expect to see an advance of He to Sc In Japs early In the new year. The trade In rice locally during the last month has been unusually heavy. Dried fruit continues strong In all lines, except raisins. Jobbers have had no news from the recent meeting of the Growers' Packing company In California and are kept guessing as to what was don. There is no change to report In the canned goods market, with the possible exception of tomatoes, which liave advanced atxiut 6 rents a dozen in the eastern market. The trade In fresh fruit has been larger tlisn was ever known before. The warm weather has permitted shipments to be made in box cars, whereas they are usually sent by express, adding so much to the cost of the fruit that retailers cancel their orders when thev learn they cannot get the goods by freight. Last year the fruit Jobbers lost a lot of business Just before Christmas on account of freezing weather. SUPREME COURT SYLLABI 13981. Nothdurft against City of Lincoln. Error from Lancaster.

If thrp guch a prejudice) In the minds of the people of the county against the defendant, or such a firm con viction of his guilt of the crime charged sgalnst him that there Is substantial and well founded reason to believe that he c in not obtain a fair trial In the county, tho constitution requires that the venue bo changed.

The guaranty of the constitution thai In all rrlmlnal proserutlons ths accnsedl shall have the right of trial by an "Im partial Jury" should be carefully guarded by the courts. It is not competent for tho legislature to limit or modlfv this right 6. Section 468 of the criminal code pro vides that a Juror who Is prejudiced against the accused Is not competent; nor Is ono who has an opinion ns to the guilt or Inno oense of the accused, unless he says, on oath, that he feels sble, notwithstanding such opinion, to render an Impartial ver dict upon the law and the evidence. 8. A Juror who has an opinion as to tho guilt or Innorense of the accused, from whatever source he haa acquired the In formation pn whlrh that opinion Is based, la not rendered competent by the mere fact that he says, on oath, that he feels able notwithstanding such opinion to render an Impartial verdict upon the law and the v- Idenrp.

It Is reported from Washington that tho War department Is renewing its efforts to restrict the use of the transports to officers and soldiers of the army. Simi lar reports have reached us before. They make perlodlo appearances, but the trans ports continue to be filled with civilians. Junketing political personages and the sis ters, the cousins and the aunts of officers and men, not to mention their wives, chil dren and servants, while the young subalterns continue to be thurst into cramped quarters 'tween-deck to accommo date persons who never wear epaulettes or shoulder muskets. The War department has not yet had the hardihood to deny openly that families of officers are entitled to free transporta tion across the seas, but It tries to limit tho size of the families, not Infrequently with amusing results. Not many months ago an Infantry captain applied for trans portation for his wife, two sisters and children. The allowance of sisters was cut down one-half, only one being given accommodations. However, he managed to ring In the rejected sister as the nurse to his child. This shrewd solution of the problem looked lovely and everybody was happy until on arriving on board ths transport It was ound that, while the wife and other sister were given cabin, staterooms the nurse sister was assigned to the steerage quarters with ths wives of enlisted men. Horrible! The roar that arose was heard 'way up Folsom street. The threats of both sexes were taxed to express their horror and Indignation. The quartermaster captain was at once sum moned and a lively protest made. Of course the story came out then and the fact that the alleged nurse was really a brother officer's fair sister traveling la disguise was Impressed upon the perplexed quartermaster captain, who for a time took refuge in a quiet stateroom to think out the situation. It was finally patched up In some way and both sisters were taken to Manila, hut the nurse trick was not attempted again by that family, al though It has beu successfully worked at other times. Another officer with a wife and two sis tors hud a less fortunate experience only a few days ago. He had been ordered to the riilllri'lnes on special duty. His ap plication for his wife and two sisters to scconipsny him wss frowned upon. He, thereupon wrote to the authorities, saying that his position, being on special duty, was not akin to that of those proceeding under routine orders on routine duties. He was in a class by himself, etc. Back from Wushlngtnn came a telegram Just before the vessel sailed giving authority for the two ulsters to accompany tho officer, but directing that the wife would have to be left behind!
