FORT RILEY, Kan., Feb. 2. (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

The post is likely to lose some of Its ex

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

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

The order directing the movement of the

FORT LEAVENWORTH. Kan., Feb. 2,
(Special.) The hospital corps mon In
charge of the Identlticatlon system at Fort
Leavenworth have begun taking the finger
prints of the enlisted men of the com
mand. Sergeant Crawford, who will have
charge of the system after February I,
hHS finished taking the prints of the men
of the hospital corps and will begin some
time next week taking the prints and pho
tographs of the other enlisted men of the

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

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. The only
available remains of the ahlp are thos
mentioned above, which our expedition dis
covered and presented to the Historical

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.

vanced to 78c. Boiled linseed oil Is still

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.
