County Attorney English filed com plaints Monday morning In the caae of the Prospect Hill cemetery grave denecratioa scandal, which has been given some pub llclty during the last two weeks. The complaints were three In number and were addressed against Daniel C. Callahan superintendent of the cemetery, charging that on or about certain dates he caused remains of certain unidentified human bodies to be removed and caused graves to be opened and the remains found therein thrown to one side. James C. Clark and Samuel Addamson are named as the men who carried out the orders alleged to have been given by Callahan. " "Serious as are the charges, I have se cured what I believe Is sufficient evidence upon which to convict Callahan of the crime of removing remains of dead human bodies from graves without the proper authority," raid Attorney English. "Un less he can show he had instructions from some person with a right to give permis sion, as a near friend or relative ofhe da ceased, or that the remains uncovered wore In unmarked graves, their existence being unknown to him, I believe I have a good case. As to the matter of selling headstones over again, as was also a part of the scandal, I have made no Investiga tion and It would be hard to got positive evidence." Warrants will be served on Callahan Tuesday morning. BRA.tDEIS TO OPE SECOND FLOOR The Event Next Monday Expected to Prove si Drawing Card for Oot-of-Town Visitors. Tha Omaha event which will Interest the greatest number of people In the surround ing territory since the 2-cent railroad rate went Into effect will unquestionably be the spring opening display at Brandeis Store when the great second floor of tha new building will be formally opened.

Experts declare that the Brandeis second floor Is without exception the most beautiful and richly appointed salesroom In America. The high character of the Imported goods whloh have been brought expressly from Europe to be shown at this opening will make this an event of extreme fashionable Importance. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. J.

COMPARISON IS MAflt 67 GOVtRHSEST Oely rtilrasre and St. Uili Cosne Ahead ef OmaJaa Juur Business. From the report of Internal commerce for the month of January, 19OT. which has re cently been Issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor, the growing Im portance of Omaha as a primary grain mar ket Is strikingly st forth. The only cities surpassing Omaha In the volume of busi ness done were Chicago and St. Louis. The boosters of Kansas City, from where every thing good Is alleged to come, are humbled by comparison with Omaha, as shown by th comparison of the figures given by tha official government report. Omaha ranks fourth, according to the government report for the month tn ques tion. In total receipts of grain, but Is third In the total amount shipped, and greatly ahead of Kansas City. The total amount of both receipts and shipments were less. however, during January. 1W. than the corresponding month of the pAeceding years, but this was due to shortage In cars. The famine In cars has obtained In all lines of commerce and gives rise to the question as to the disposition of the enor mous quantity of box cars In the country. The receipts of cars, containing all kinds of grnln, at the fifteen principal grain mar kets during the months of November and December, lflne, and January. 19". numbered 217,101), which is Si,000 cars less than were received during the corresponding months Of 1905-. Tremendons Car Phortasre. A shortage of 12.000 cars per month In the grain carrying trade alone Is a matter worthy of serious consideration, particu larly when the same comparative condi tions prevail In practically every other Una of commerce. It has been tha plea of the railroads that their traffic has Increased to such Jin extent that they have not had sufficient cars to take csre of the business, but the question la. Where have the cars gone tot The Omaha market has felt the car stringency ss muoh as any other grain market, when It Is seen from the January, iKOT, government report that total shipments were materially less than those of January, LMOft. Omaha ranked sixth In the amount of wheat received, but the amount was more than double that received during January, 1006. It was fifth In shipments of wheat. with an Increase of over 60 per cent as compared with the same month of the pre eodlnff year. A large Increase Is noted from the gov ernment grain figures In corn receipts and shipments during the month In question, when Omaha was third In both shipments and receipts, outranking all grain markets exoept Chicago and St. Louis. Fourth place Is given to Omaha In the amount of oats received and third In ship ments of this grain, an Increase of over 60 per cent over January, 1908, FEDERAL PETIT JURY DRAWN No Drasd Jury Will Be Called for the April Term ef Court.

The MAKES Ki3 MAIDEN SPEECH Bt, Lewis Bess Ball Boss Haas late Polities aae Talks Sosae. v Chris Von der Aha, famous as tha one time owner and manager of the great St. Louis Browns base ball team, saloonkeeper and now politician, made his maiden politi cal speech In his own behalf at a smoker and vaudeville show Thursday night at the Jefferson club In St. Louis. Von der Aha, after being for years the backer of other men for political prefer ment. Is for the first time In his life a candidate for delegate from the Nine teenth ward to the house of delegates on the democratic ticket. Von der Ahe said that while he appre ciated that he would have a hard fight In that ward. It having always gone re publican, he thousht he could put the ticket "over the plate." He said he was no speechmaker, but, with many gestures to help his oratory, and accentuating his points with a sound slapping of his hands, he said: "Meln frents: I am gist to be mlt yous. am always glat to be mlt meln frents and meln frents mlt me. I am nod much off a spoechmaklng, but maybe I can make speech alretty before I quit. "My frents down In der Nineteenth ward say that I yoost had to run for de house see? They say, 'Chris, you can bead any body and nobody can head you.' "Meln frents, I know de republicans are strong In de Nineteenth, but I belief dot we can bead em, see? A front call me up over telephone the other day and say. "Chris, what are you icnvg to do? s.iy 'Helm laud.' He gays, 'Wat Is dot?' and I soy, 'Home run;' and he lnimhs. They only gave me Ave minutes to speak here. I can nod make, a political speech In five. I hope dot I may be able to address you for a half hour some other time some plaee. Good night." Von der Ahe was given a rousing re ception and, though few heard what he said, he was cheered to the echo a half dosen times in the five minutes. Asked how he felt when mnklng his maiden speech for himself, he said: '.Pshaw! If I only hat the time. I would make you sr-good one. I was yoost gettln' started. I oud to haf twenty, thirty, fifty minutes, to make you wan goot speech. But I will win down there, for I can speak high Dutch, low Dutch, all kinds of Dutch, see? We will carry dot ward, sure.

THREE SEATS CN THE AISLE Blender of Man Ordrrlea Them Causes Little Fan T'nder the Snrfnee. His wife had company, a woman friend, and the three were going to the theater. He telephoned down to the man In the box office to "save me threi aWle seats." "Ah, this la Jones," he addressed the box office man on the party's arrlvnl at the theater; "I believe I have three aisle seats engaged." "Yes, sir, Mr. Jones, here they are," and the obliging box office man handed them out. Then came the usher's turn; poor usher. The doorkeeper tore off the seat checks, handed them to the usher, "first nlsle to the right." The usher pranced on down and strung out 'his trio, each one getting an outside seat an aisle seat, Just as ordered. And then the fun began. The man up braided the usher, who protested that It was not his fault; he had simply given them the seats the checks called for; the man's wife said the only reason an usher wag so stupid was that he was an usher, and even the "guest wooman" took a whirl at him. But they wound up by taking the three outside seats In a row. As the play progressed and interesting situations developed the good wife thought how she would like to be next to John so they could discuss the play together. Sit ting next to her, on the second seat from the aisle, was a man; but she was a woman and a timid one at that. Anyhow, she was anxious to get that man to exchange seuts with her husband. Presently she whipped up courage enough to say to the man: "Any one with you?" "W-h-a-t?" exclaimed the man under his breath, dumbfounded. "Any one with you?" she repeated. "Shew-w-w, don't you ste my wife is sitting on the other side hete?" whispered the man, nudging Vier. "What's 'your 'phone number?" GETTING EVENJVITH LAWYERS Barbs Aimed at Witnesses Often Tsraea, to the Confusion of the Q,alsser. Overshrewd lawyers often furnish their adversaries with weapons. "Did you see this tree that has been mentioned by tha roadside r' an advocate Inquired. "Yea, sir, I saw It very plainly." "It was conspiouous, then?" The witness seemed puzxled by the new word. He repeated his former assertion. "What's the difference," sneered the law yer, "between plain and conspicuous?" But be was hoist with his own petard. The witness innocently answered: "I can see you plainly, sir, among the other lawyers, though you are not a bit conspicuous." In another witness a blow directed against the character of a witness forcibly recoiled. "You were In the company of these peo ple?' he wss asked. "Of two friends, sir." f riends; two trueves, l suppose you mean." "That may be true," was the dry retort; "they are both lawyers." Tne mow mat sesiroys ins errect of an adverse examination is occasionally more the result of accident than of conscious effort. In a trial not long ago a very sim ple witness was In the box, and after going through his ordeal was ready to retire. One question remained. "Now, Mr. , has not an attempt been made to Induce you VP tell the court a different story?" "A different atory to what I have told. Birr' "Yea Is it not sot' "Yes. air." "Upon your oath, I demand to know who tha persons are who have attempted this. "Wsll, sir, you've tried as hard as any of 'em," was the unexpected answer. It ended the examination. Rochester Herald.

When the formal meeting of the New Jersey legislature was opened, tn accord ance with the constitution, which requires that a Joint session of the body be called every day while the contest Is on for tha election of a United States senator, only two legislators were present. Neverthe less, It was necessary to comply with all the forms of convening the Joint session, and Assemblyman Burk asked Captain John Lovett, the sergeant-at-arms of the senate, If he would offer prayer to properly open the session. Mr. Burk made the request In a Joking manner, but Captain Lovett took the re quest seriously and asked with all rever ence that those present In the house Join with him In reciting the Lord's prayer. Then, amid deep silence, the voice of tha captain was heard: "Now I lay me down to sleep," he be gan and paused. The assembly chamber at the time was filled with students undergoing the state veterinarian examination. They tittered when Captain Lovett paused In the prayer, but their levity lasted only a moment. Then one of them. In a deep voice, took up the supplication and all fin ished it. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And should I die before I wake, 1 pray the Lord my soul to take. At the conclusion of the prayer Captain Lovett asked the speaker pro tem If he would be allowed the usual $10 fee 1ven ta clergymen making the prayer. "No," was the reply.. "You didn't know your prayer. The state pays only for com pleted prayers." New York World. , Poacher and Gamekeeper.
