CORNERSTONE IS MISSING
Pillar of Old Cathedral Sought in Vain
by Priests.
HOT IN PLACE WHEKE IT WAS LAID
Hand mt the Vandal, it t "apposed,
Mas Nrirkrd the Sacred Hfffn
. tarle t'adrr St. rh Mo
mma. Where Is the cornerstone of Bt. Phll
omftii'i cathedral, the walls of which have
been wrecked and the htfpe of flndlna; the
cornerstone, given up by the priests of the
old psrlsh?
Thin is the mystery which Is agitating
many local Catholics, causing; the priests
to wonder If some sacrlllglous hand sue
reeded In tearing It from the foundations,
and stealing the contents of the stone.
The walla of Bt. Fhllomena's are rased.
For more than two weeks the contractor
has expected to uncover the cornerstone
nd had orders to call a priest who would
remove the contents, said to consist partly
' of money In a largo sum, to the home of
Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, bishop of
Omaha.
Early In December thieves anticipated th
value of the contents of the stone and
moved seven or eight tons of atone and
brick In one night to get at the stone. But
so far as known they failed.
Chances are It la I. oat.
Thursday the foundations were removed
down below the water level. The contrac
tor asserts that unless the builders were
short-sighted enough to place the corner
stone below the water level there Is no
cornerstone row In old St. Phllomena's.
Giving an account of the ceremony at
tending the laying of the cornerstone of
the cathedral June 2, 1RS7, the Morning
Herald aald:
A large concourse of people witnessed
the ceremony of laying the cornerstone.
There were persons present from every
'hr!ntian sect In the city and many from
Council Bluffs, Bellevue, Florence and all
tlie surrounding precincts, 2,60(1 in all. The
afternoon was clear, warm and brilliant as
of Ood and nature- contributed to make
mint gorgeous the ceremonies of the day.
Th: mud had dried Tip. Tn the cornerstone
were placed coins of the year, copies of
mwspapers of the day, relics, missal, etc.
Kut of all the 8.600 persons present none
has come forward to tell where the corner
stone was placed. While the walls were
'.iiMling no such a atone appeared as cor
iii'rsionfs do In modern buildings, but It
tvns supposed tha early builders placed It
in the wall, safa from the hands of de
stroying vandala.
But tha cornerstone is a mystery. The
church record gives no account of the cere
mony, though from time to time witnesses
of the service have confirmed the published
reports.
GRAIN TO MAKE ADVANCE
Both Receipt and Shipment Are Ii.
peeled to Increase at Local
Market.
Grain receipts at the Omaha market de
creased 2.08T,500 bushels during the month
of December, 1907, as compared to the same
month of 1906, while shipments decreased
1,377,600 bushels. 1
Dealers look for a slight picking up in
receipts during the next thirty days, but be
I Have much of the grain Is being held back
I because the stock cannot be s' lipped with
any profit on a low market and farmers
will continue to pour the grain Into the
feed troughs.
At soma points In Nebraska It is re
ported that farmers are buying corn at
prices ranging from 8 to 12 cents higher
than the prices quoted in Omaha, rather
than ship cattle when the market Is low.
. The statement of receipts and shipments
for December Is as follows:

1 CAR THIEVES ADMIT GUILT
Caught ned-Ilanded Two of Gang;
Confess t ttyatematle Plan- 1
der of Frla-ht.
.' Caught red-handed, as It were, with the
', goods on them, A. X Blaze, 614 Pierce
street, and John Beoham, 308 Pbppleton
' avenue, have confessed to the police they
have been stealing from Burlington freight
cars. George V. Balrd of Florence and
John Kodonaskl, who were arrested with
the former pair, are by the latter Impli
cated, but have made no confessions,
tl'ractlcally the entire detective force of
Omaha secured the Burlington freight
yards Friday morning In the hope of run
ning down Home of the thieves who have
I been systematically robbing cars of late.
I They cauglit these four men, two of them
i engaged In their craft. Detective Jim Mi
i lone of the Burlington's force at Lincoln
I has arrived In the city and will remain a
week, completing the Job so well begun by
, the local officers of cleaning up this gang.
, Friday morning a Missouri Pacific train
' crew found a large pile of sugar In sacks
' near Fourteenth and Nicholas streets,
which had evidently been stolen from a
tar. They recovered It for the company
; and placed It In the warehouse. These
crimes have multiplied recently and In
cluded various railroads.
MANY WORKERS ASK FOR AID
More Appllcailoaa for Charity Than
Any Day since Association 'a
Illrtk Here.
More applications to the Associated Chari
ties for help were filed Thursday than on
any other day In the history of the or
ganisation with one exception. Thirty-eight
persons aaked help. The highest previous
record for a single day was forty-two tn
December.
"It was an unique crowd, too," said Sec
retary Morris, "unique because all were
hard working people who were not accus
tomed to asking charity. Some of them
actually did not know how to' ask. And
. the appearance of their hands showed they
hsd been doing hard work. One big. strong
fellow with calloused hands came In. His
face was a study when he asked help. He
lie bad been storking on an Iowa farm and
had been laid off. For two days he had
aten nothing saving bis little money for a
Cheap lodging at night. 1'nless things open
lip. soon the problem of dealing with the
Unemployed and their families will be a
Serious one. Cold weather would be wel
come now because It would hasten the
ce harvest and provide employment for
tnany of these men."
