Inrreaaed Demand for irln( Goods
-In Month and West.
, NEW YORK, Feb. 2. liiadstrect a to
inorrnw will nay:
There Is more snap to spring trade this
week, jobbers and manufacturers partic
ularly at the west and south noting more
.Inquiry for dry goods, clothing, -shoes and
similar lines. Favored by the steady
weather these trades disfMay a desire to
open the aeason earlier than usually. The
, absence of severe and sudden weather con
ditions has also been beneficial so far to
the wjnter wheat crop, which does not show
nny effects, of luck of snow covering
throughout most nf the winter. Shipments
.oil spring- account are being called for
"early. Retail trade and to a certain ex
tent collections are of course affected by
the same weather conditions, but forced
Kales are moving some goods and there is
. even a. tendency on the part of retullera to
become reconciled to the conditions and not
10 let the undeniably disappointing winter
trade Interfere with spring demands. In
dustry Is favored by the openness of the
weather, but anthracite coal demand la
slack and bituminous Is lower despite tin
.attack of a strike of western miners wlit
. have been refused higher wages. Th.
liquor trade notes some absence of season
able weather and country produce, particu
larly eggs, potatoes and butter, are lowi.-.
There Is also talk xt very high prices f jr
Ice next summer another weather result.
Collections are rather irregular, being
good In the northwest, only fair In the cen
tral west and lake region, and good at '.he
south tfxeept where holding of cotton la
complained of. Money Is easy. There is a
perceptibly more cheerful tone to the
woolen goods trade, which feels the ln-
fluenee of next season's opening of heavy
weights. Dressed woolens sell well. Raw
. wools are also firmer, though quotably un
changed. Shearing has begun In Arizona
' and full prices are being paid. Prices of a
. number of staples are easy or lower this
week. .
Eastern ahoa manufacturers report large
mimbers of buyers in the market, but or

VIOLATES POLICE RULE SEVENTY-ONE
tllalai tied by ralrolman Brady. Who
Pulls Ont Ills Tin Match nnd
ftotea the I ntlntet)
Honr.
It is something out of the ordinary rou
tine to see a matt reading the newspapers
on the back doorstep of a saloon at 2:10
o'clock of the morning. Rule No. 71 of t!ir
police handbook on good citizenship read:
Citizens shall have their dally pnpers
read by 12 o'clock midnight, unless other
wise ordered by the comptroller.
At 2:10 o'clock Friday morning by Pa
trolman Prady's tin watch Martin Bpge
was reading a paper at the rear of a sa
loon near Twelfth and Dodge atreets. The
patrolman believed It to be a matter of
public safety to disturb the reader and ask
nhout his folks. Egge was Intently reading
police court news under the caption of
"Heforo the People's Bar" when Brady
walked up.
" 'John Derr of Council Bluffs believes in
following th advice of a certain states
man who adjured his friends not to spend
oil their money In one place.' read Egge
from the paper, evidently oblivious of
Brady's presence.
"Come out of that and tell me what you
re doing here at this toim of the marnln',"
remarked Brady to F.gge. ,
' 'Derr thinks It broadens a man to travel
and see the world; to get about and see
what Is doing In dlffeient localities," " con
tinued Egge, as he eulmly bit another chew
from his plug.
"Now, look here, tpe frlnd. If yez don't
be telling me who ye are and where ye
come from I'll be pinching ye on suspi
cion. Ol can't have iny bums lafln' on me
bato dts tnlni of the marnln'," added Brady.
As Egge would not tell the patrolman
about his folks and the old home the po
liceman arrested the stranger on the charge
of being a suspicious character and refus
ing to give an account of himself.
By the time the sparrows began to twitter
In the morning sunlight In front of the city
jail nnd Janitor Ole Jackson was dusting
the police court room the Justness of the
arrest dawned upon Egge's mentality. He
told the police Judge he was a stranger
here from Burlington. la.,' had no other
than lawful Intentions and tt!;;ted that he
likes to do his reading in the open nir when
the rest of the world Is at peace and only
nll-nlght lunch wagons and late cars dis
turb the calm of night.
Judge Crawford discharged Egge with a
kindly homily on circumstantial evidence
and late hours.
The entente cordiale which existed two
months, one week and four days betwen
Joe Hawkins and Marie Morton, colored,
and residing at 1017 Davenport street, was
brought to an abrupt climax Thursday
afternoon when Hawkins threw a wagon
load of bricks and bottles into the Mor
ton apartments, breaking a while Iron bed
stead in Miss Morton's boudoir, cracking
a mirror and causing a slight abrasion to
appear on the right side of the woman's
head. Miss Morton did not like the wav
Hawkins was beginning the month of Feb
ruary, so she went to police court and
swore to a complaint of assault und lot
tery, which was read to Hawkins in court j
Friday morning. Miss Morton declared she
would have overlooked ueh u trilling thing
ns stopping a brick with her head, but
when Hawkins caused her seven years' bad
luck' by breaking her reflector, then she
thought It time to cull the police.
1 Mr. Hawkins was lined J10 ami- costs hy
the police Judge Friday morning.
K. Keel of Montana came to Omaha
Thursday to engage in the festivities Inci
dent to groundhog day. Mr. Reel was liiiis-
tend Into the guest list at one of the
hotels and then pioceded to fly his kite on
the paved streets. The Montanlan's iden
tity was lost In th i passing show until he
mistook a Douglas street second-hand store
for his hostelry. Reel Insisted on changing
his old garments for nexv habiliments hvj
carried in a bundle under his arm, but the
sccond-har.d store man raised objections.
For a few seconds it wus hard to dis
tinguish between the Montauian. second
hand store man and new garments. Ser
geant Sigwart and Patrolman Boyle sorted
out the muss und took Reel to jail on tl;u
charge of drunkenness and vagrancy. As
Reel Mild he had never been arrested be
fore and promised to lie o good boy hi the
future, the police judge was moved to dis
charge the prisoner.

I'nless the groundling was mighty hard

are two exigencies to which the hopeful
