(Special ) The engineer battalion broke camp Sun day and at 9:30 a. m., Monday, left for Fort Leavenworth, where final arrange ments were made for their departure for Cuba. The battalion, with the exception of Company K, will participate In ihe work of making a typographical recon ralssanc man of the island, which work will be completed by June 1, at whlcn time the battalion will return to Fprt Riley and complete the bridge. The bat talion had been working overtime, since It learned of Its departure for Cuba, In completing the bridge aa far as possible and In making ready for the Journey. When the orders came the bridge had already been carried to wlthiu a short distance of the opposite bank, with but twp sets of piers to sink. This portion of the bridge has been temporarily con structed, so that traffic can now pass over the structure. The present camp site will be retained for the use or the battalion on Its return and moBt of the temporary structures which were used In the camp are to be left standing. The arrival of thirty recruits from Col umbus barracks, Ohio, pn Sunday after noon was a pleasant surprise. For many months the command has been nearly 200 men short, and, while the assignment will go only a short ways in supplying the demand, still It was thankfully received. During the past six months the strength of the five organizations stationed at this post have decreased to such an extent that the batteries are sadly in need of recruits and about 150 more are need .-a to bring the organizations up to their au thorized quota. Before a large crowd the Kansas City Athletic association defeated the post team Saturday evening by a snore of 68 to 29. Although Riley played a' good game, the Kansas City aggregation was loo swift for it. The Kansas City tei.m is the fastest that haa played at the post this season, and no time during the game did the soldle have a chance of winning. Between the halves of the srame. tug-of-war preliminaries were pulled off ny tne i weniy-nrtn nailery ana Troop c. Ninth cavalry, and by the Twentieth bat tery and Troop B, Ninth cavalry, the ar tillery ten ins being victorious In both con tests. Following the game there was dancing until 12 o'clock. There was rejoicing In the artillery gar rison on Tuesday morning when the news flashed over the wire that the artillery bill had passed both houses without amendment. The bill was side-tracked last session and its prospects were not over bright. It waa thnurht. at the open ing of this session. Its passage promotes the fallowing ottlcers or this garrison: Majors Hovle and Adams, to be lieutenant colonels; Captains McMahon,. Mott and Hinds, to be majors; F'-t T.leutenant Rolseau. to be captain, and every second lieutenant of arttllerv to be first lieu tenant. It Is a fore-vine conclusion that one of the regiments of field artillery will be stationed here, so Fort Riley will aealn have two bands. The promotions place Lieutenant Colonel Macomb, com manding officer. artHlerv suhpost. st the head of the list nt lleutensnt colonels, so It is expected that he will remain here in command of the regiment, as he would he first ti for promotion to the next hle-her rude.

The post is likely to lose some of Its ex cellent base ball material Duffy and Lus sltr. both of the Twenty-second battery, have opened negotiations with the mansger of the Oklahoma City team, and the offers made them have been so flattering that both have decided to purchase their dis charges before the practice season opens. The following officers arrived on Friday for the purpose of undergoing examination for promotion before the cavalry board: Captain Snmuel D. Freeman, Tenth cavalry, Fort Robinson, Neb.; First Lleutennnt Henry H. Richmond. First cavalry, Fort Clark, Tex.; First Lieutenant John J. Ryan, Twelfth cavalry. Fort Oglethorpe, Oa.

GERMAN DRAMATIC PIRATES Bnarllsh Anthors Said to SofTer at Hands of Playwrights of Continent. BERNE, Feb. 1 (Special.) Under shelter of the fact that England is not an adherent of the Berne copyright convention German dramatic, authors and theater directors are said to be engaged in wholesale piracy of English novels capable of dramatization. It Is said here that Sir A. Conan Doyle's first intimation that "The Hound of the Baskervllles" had been produced at the Secession theater, Berlin, where It was a failure, although it did better at Hanover, was in a newspaper dispatch which carried the news from Berlin to London. It waa also explained that in this way an un known writer forestalled the intentions of the actor-manager, Ferdinand Bonn. Hen Bonn had made a fortune out of "Sherlock Holmes," in which he plays the title role, and despite the misfortunes of the unknown he proposes dramatizing "The Hound of the Baskervllles" and producing it at an early date. Tn an interview upon this subject Herr Bonn himself haa affirmed his right to dramatize any English work without the permission of the author. Having drawn upon other Conan Doyle stories and the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Herr Bonn is convinced that he has written "The Hound" In a fashion which will nevertheless please the author. RELICS OF FRANKLIN'S TRIP Captain Amnndsea Says He Seenred All Available Material la the North. CHRISTIANIA, Feb. 1 (Special.) Cap tain Amundsen, who recently navigated the northwest passage In the sloop GJoa, de clares that contrary to what waa said in the Oereblad the statement that the Ca nadian explorer Beraler had discovered In Erebus bay two boats belonging to the Franklin expedition must be based on a misunderstanding. Such remains of Sir John Frankiln'a ahtps. Captain Amundsen said, aa had been found had been brought back to civilisation by the OJoa. These Included some lroa bolt and parts of boat hooka which Captain Amundsen had ob tained from the Eskimos. 'The Eskimos," the explorer continued, "only know of the fata of on pf the two ships of which th Franklin expedition waa composed. That vessel waa crushed In th Ice north of King Edward's Land and waa never driven southward. whlle th other did drift south between Victoria Land and King William's Land and was found by two Eskimo tribes in th great basin which ilea between Victoria Land and King William's Land. Th Eskimos took all th material away from th ship and th vessel eventually sank.

CONDITION OFOMAHA'STRAD' Eusini ia Bdtter Than for Jannarj of tit Lut Year. MANY ADVANCES REPORTED BY JOBBERS City This Week Will Be Fall at Hard ware, Fnrnltnre aad Implement Dealers, Two of Which Hold Convent ions. House trade in many lines shows a marked Improvement as the year advances, the merchants' meetings being In full blast now and many retailers attending. Sales men are also sending In good orders from the road. Business tor last week ra niuclt better than for the cloning week of Jan uary last year. Collections have been fair, but not sn satisfactory that th Job bers are bragging about them. Omaha will be lull of hardware, furniture and implement dealers this week. The hardware dealers of the state will have a big convention and tiade exposition Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday, and th furniture dealers will meet Wednesday and Thursday. Implement dealers will be In town In number to arrange for their spring shipments, February 1 being th date when the Jobbers begin their busiest shipping season. The week passed by without any advance In dry goods, but neither waa any decline reported. All lines sr firm and the price I tending upward. Business is Increasing, both slapie and fancy goods being in strong demand, which will have the effect. In all probability, of making prices silffer yet. Sho- Jobbers are having all they can do to keep pace with the business, and they report the factories are working to their full capsclty. The shoe situation has not changed and no advance has been made by tne Jobbers to the retail trade. leather Is Arm, and without doubt will hold present prices, even If It dots not go higher soon. Many Advance In Groceries. Refiners have advanced the price of sugar 6 to 10 cents per lot) pounds. Those who declare themselves In touch with the situa tion says higher prices will come. Ther In a very good demand and withdrawal are showing an Increase over lost year. Syrup Is very strong, with an actual ad vance last week of two groups, which ad vances ten-pound cans 6 cenU a dozen over the previous week. Refiners are all largely oversold and Jobbers' stocks are very light. Supplies are coming forward slowly. An advance of iO to 25 cents a barrel on bulk oats went Into effect last week, and manufacturers freely predict a correcpond Ing advance on all package goods. Cheese la higher, the price ranging to t cent a pound over the previous week. Stocks ate reported exceedingly light, and notwithstanding the high prices ruling, Hi demand is very heavy. Soap Is Going Id, All kinds of laundry soap are quoted 15 to ii cents a box higher than a week ago. Tallow has shown nn unprecedented advance and Is at the highest point renched in several years. This, with a strong ad vance In other Ingredients, makes It seem probable that the price will be higher shortly. Prices 'have recently been made to th earners on two and three-pound sized tlna and the canner Ian now begin to figure pretty accurately the cost of his pack for 1907. Cases and cans and solder have ad vanced so that the cost of packing, let alone the question of labor and the cost of raw material, will make two-pound tins cost 6 or l cents per dozen more than last season and three-pound tins 7 to 8 cent per dozen more than last season. No prices have yet been made on future western corn, at least openly. There Is a determination on the part of the canner to get a considerably higher price than last season, and It looks now as if th figures would be fixed at a point at least Vic per dozen higher than the oponlng prices of ltx5. Prices on futures have been named by a number of canners. These prices without exception are from 7V4 to 10 cent per dozen on three-pound cans nlgher than the open ing prices of 1906. No. 10s are held at from 26 to 35 cents per dzen higher than th opening of last year. These advances are perfectly Justified by the Increased cost In the packing of these goods. The question of the bare market or the prosperity of th crtintry and Its consequent ability to ab sorb a very large pack does not enter Into the situation, apparently. Regarding: Conned Salmon. The market on canned salmon la very strong, particularly on red Alaskan, on which the situation grows stronger every day. The best posted salmon men on th coast contend that salmon cannot be packed in 1907 at a profit unless the price Is ad vanced 12c per dozen on one-pound size tails. This figure refer particularly to red Alaska. Furthermore, the stock of red Alaakas on the coast Is the lightest for many years at this season of the year. These facts give great strength to the mar ket, and It would appear morally certain that figures will be advanced at an early date. Among the articles that have been at- tractlng particular attention are ten-pound apples. The market has been advanced, many holders demanding an advance oi 40c per dozen over the prices ruling a few weeks ago. Owing to the excessive demand and the light supply still higher price probably will be seen before many week have gone. There are not many changes to report In dried fruit. The supply In almost every article, with the exception of prunes, 14 very far short of the usual needs of the country. Prune are holding their own and any spirited demand would doubtless spring the price on this article. Paints, Oils nnd Ulaas. There Is no change In the glass situation. The market la firm. Turpentine has ad vanced to 78c. Boiled linseed oil Is still 4Xc, while zaw Is 41c. Lead Is unchanged. Carter s being 7Vic snd Southern 7Ho. Th demand for paint and glass continues good. Business Is improving In wholesale hard ware circles, and the movement Is growing heavier. Few changes are noted. Wash boards are up a little. Manila rope Is un about Vic The outlook for spring business In hardware la better than ever. BOGUS SAUSAGE IS SIEZED Germans Can Sell Horseflesh, bag Not a that of Other Animals. BERLIN, Feb. 1 (Special.) Two largo, conslgnmenU of horse flesh sausages hava been seized by the police In Berlin railway stations Just aa they were on the point of starting for. the Khineland under falsa colors. Various parcels of the stuff wera addressed to Dortmund, Strassburg and Frankfurt, and one lot of 100 pounds waa bound for the canteen of the Fifteenth, Uhlan regiment in Scarburg. It is believed that the t raffle thus dis covered has been carried on wholesale, and comprehensive investigations are being made with the object of tracking down all Implicated in It. Horse flesh sausag may even be legally sold if 1U true natur ia disclosed, but In this Instance, of ooursa, it has been passed off as beef or pork. With the prices of butcher's meat at th present level the temptation to embark on fraudulent trad of thla kind la Indeed great. REXIGIOl'S NOTES. Rev. E. D.
