Wealthy Toarlat Released.
John Alexander, the tourist, who, with
two Impecunious corppanlons, waa arrested
Thursday while loafing around the
Milwaukee yarda and passenger depot,
satisfied Judge Scott in police court yes
terday morning that he waa not a vagrant,
but a man of wealth. The fact that he had
nearly $500 In his possession in the shape of
cesh and certificates of deposit and hla
clilm that h had paid his way from
. Bisbee. Aria., and had not made the trip
In a side door Pullman, induced the court
Jo discharge him. The 115 cash bond which
Axnnde,- had put up for hla appearance
In police court, was returned to him. A.

niit Pile of Hay Haras.
Three hundred tons of baled alfalfa hay
I'sluiigtng to the Alfalfa Meal company,
we'fih street and Tenth avenue, caught
Ore yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock
and up to a late hour last night was still
iMimlng. Fire Chief Jones gave It as his
opinion that the hay, owing to tho fact
that It was In bales, probaly would smolder
fr a week.
The hay was stacked In an open shed with
a board roof and the blase Is thought to
have be-n caused by a spark from a switch
engine. At the Office of the Alfalfa Meal
company it waa stated that the hay waa
Insured, but for what amount could not bo
determined last evening, but It was believed
to be sufficient to rover any loee.
Several streams of water were thrown by
the Are department on the biasing hay,
but owing to the closeness with which the
bales were packed apparently had little
effect. One company, was kept at the place
all night throwing water.
: The Alfalfa Meal company waa burned
tt n Omaha and shortly after removed to
Cla side of the river, ita plant being lo
QMed near the tracks of the Oreat Western
railroad.

High School Aadltorlnnt Crowded for
the Occasion.
Standing room only waa the case at the
high school auditorium last night when
the students presented the musical comedy
"Pinafore'' before an audience which filled
every nook and corner of, the large hull,
and late comere were compelled to stand
up. Several days ago the seating capacity
was sold out and the result was that
the audience last night was probably the
biggest the auditorium ever held. Tho
performance was for the benefit of the
high school cadets.
The play had btcii rehearsed under Hie
direction of Miss Chuilotte A. Taylor of
the high school faculty and the performance
last nigitt certainly did her credit. The
principal parts were taken by Miss Hazel
Brown., a member of the graduating class
who has earned a reputation of being one
of the best amateurs In this city and has
appeared a number of times In Omaha at
Boyd's theater as a member of Miss Fitch's
dramatic class, and George Phelps, who Is
likewise well known to Omaha and Council
Bluffs audiences. The piece was prettily
costumed and the performance was greatly
enjoyed by the large audience and the
young artists liberally applauded for their
efforts.

Objects to the Rock Pile.
James Todd of Omaha strenuously ob

being relegated to the city rock pile for
ten days as a punishment for Imbibing too
freely of the liquor which Intoxicates. Tod.l
liad applied at the police station late
Thursday night, in a state of intoxication,
for a night's lodging. He was accommo
dated with a bunk In one of the cells. When
Judge Bcott decided that about ten days
on the rock pile would about suit his case
Todd became Indignant and pleaded for his
liberty. "Judge, this Is hardly fair to make
a man break rocks Just for taking a little
drop too much. They would not do that to
a man in Scotland. It is downright mean,
that Is what It Is," exclaimed the man
whose ancestors bled with Wallace as he
was lead from the court room by an un

D1C8 MOINES. May II. tPpeclal.) At
torney General Mullau will at once make
an Investigation to determine to what ex
tent, if any, the Standard Oil company
and other oil companies are violating the
provisions of the new law which prohibits'
selling petroleum and Its products at a
less price In one part of the state than
In another. Newspapers In verlous sections
of the state were asked today to ascertain
the prices at which the different grades of
oil were selling. The result was a wide
variance in the figures. Palacine oil celling
for 1"V cents In Cedar Falls and lo' In
Marshalltown and other Iowa cities. The
quotations secured shorn- that Palacine oil
Is quoted at Uit cents in Cedar Falls, llt'i
In Mason City, lSty at Marshalltown, Daven
lRrt. Burlington. Ottuinwa. and 16 centa at
Council Bluffs. Perfection oil Is quoted as
selling nt 'i cents a gallon in Cenlerville,
lO'j in Cedar Falls and Masm City, 114
In Davenport. Council BlufTs. Burlington
and Marshalltown. 12 cents at Ottumwa
and K"H cents at Waterloo. Water White
oil Is quoted at !" cents. In, In',. 11 and 12
cents a g.cllon at different places over the
state. The new law went Into effect by
publication clause May i. the governor hav
ing signed it a day or two before. Theie
Is some question In the minds of some
lawyers ss to whether or not the law is
constitutional, as It applies only to petro
leum and its products. Governor Cummins
signed the law after hearing attorneys
representing the Standard OH company,
who asserted that It Is unconstitutional
and attorneys for Iowa Interests who wish
through the operation of this law to estab
lish refineries In this state. A test case
may be carried through the courts to de
termine the constitutionality of the law.
