"I -Jenow h Omaha urn In market Is

today, and I told Secretary Slofie; of the.
Chicago exchsnre thla only a few 4eya
ago. 'Of court I could not expect him to
admit it frankly,' hut I am sure he know
it."
Thta waa on of the reasons Prof. J.
W!flt4 Tone ( (he National Corn associa
tion gave tha Omaha Real Estate ex
change In his address at the noonday
lunch Wednaaday. why the National Corn
Show shoOtd rl held In Omaha.
"We must learn to produce a better rrade
of corn all ovnr' this country," he aald.
"Out export are -one-third leaa than they
were' six year asjo, because we are not
growing , a cdm which will meet the re
quirement f the European buyers. I met
wlthjn " the last week a member of tha
New York. Produce exchange. - He told me
he had knit a large sum of money simply
because corn he bought would not be ac
cepted in Copenhagen. For this reason, If
no other. It la worth while to learn the
difference between the grade of corn' and
what makes that difference. We propose
to ahow It at the Omaha com show."
Profi Jones aald almost every state In
the corn belt had accepted an Invitation to
exhibit at Omaha and some of them will
send only prise winning grains at the etate
shows. ' Colorado la anxious to show that
one forty-acre tract will grow more grain
than a farm of 160 acre a In other parts
; of the country. Illinois will send the best
from the state show, while South Dakota,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kanaas and Missouri al
ready have bids in to place exhibits In the
Omaha ahow.
Next td the Biff Expo.
"Thla corn ahow will direct attention to
Omaha aa nothing has since the Trans
mtsslssisslppl exposition," aald Professor
J one a "We have little Idea of the way we
can get demonstrations from those who are
making commercial products from corn,
and will be surprised to know that 158
commercial producta are now manufactured
from It AU these things will combine with t
the other grain and make an exhibition
which te aure torTfre a greater advertisement
for Omaha than any other thing which can
be dona."'. ... ' "
Prof feasor Jones 'asked that the Real Es
tate exchange appoint a committee of five
,. to advise with the executive board, and
If the .exchange Intends to apend money
to advertise Omaha, co-operate with the
Corn Show association.

ON
PAVING
Decision it on Sufficiency of Peti
tion Settle the Matter, Say
th Court.
That the decision of trie city council la
final on the question of the sufficiency of
a paving petition when all the legal steps
ha t been taken by that body waa the
substance of an Important decision made
by Judge Redlck, Wednesday morning. In
refusing to enjoin the city from collecting
special taxes on the paving between Lake
and Ohio streets on Twentieth. "
Judge Redlck upholds In every particular
the statute giving the council the final au
thority to declare a petition good and holds
that where the council has compiled with
all 'the requirements of the law the courts
will not Interfere With the collection of
the taxes by the Injunction process. lie
declared the only remedy a property
owner had was to take an appeal to the
courta during the time allotted for that
purpose. 1
Tho case was one In which E. Kendrlck,
a property owner, tried to enjoin the collec
tion of paving taxes on his property, as
serting the paving petition lacked four
feet of the majority of the foot frontage
of the district. The court held the council
had complied with the law and Ita de
cision la final. Th plaintiff also attacked
the validity of the law which makes tho
council the final authority, but Judge
Redlck also sustained the law.
The decision will prevent property own
ers from escaping taxea levied for paving
by raising technical questions as to the
ownership of the property represented In
the petition.

This Is the resolution L. M. Talmage,
chairman of the membership committee
of the Commercial club of Omaha, has
made, and a meeting of the commltteo
will be held in the rooms of the club
Thursday noon to discuss "ways and
means" of securing several hundred new

Never has the . Commercial club of
Omaha beenaln such prosperous condition
and never have the members been given
so much In return for their money.
All the conveniences and social features
of the new rooms are small as compared
to the practical work of the club in ad
vertising the city, looking after freight
rates, arranging to care for conventlona
and bringing them to Omaha, encouraging
and promoting public enterprises and as
sisting Industries which are looking for
locations.
The dues of the club are $20 per year,
about one-third of what the average social
club secures from Its members. Just now
the rooms are new throughout and the
Ownera of the Board of Trade building are
planning to put a new elevator in ' the
building, which will make the rooms
more accessible to the. members.
Thev remodeled rooms are to be opened
Thursday evening and the houae commit

BILL POSTERS DELAY ACTION
BalauCity Building Inspector's Order
' to Comply with Ordinance.
ARGUE THEIR SIGNS ARE ARTISTIC
Oaaalaar People Assert that Borne Art
Really to He Compared with
Prodaet of tha Old
Maater.
Arguing that the new billboard ordinance
of the city of Omaha ia unconstitutional
and that the poster with which It adorns
the billboards In this city really enhance
the beauty of Omaha and covers up "sore"
spots on the landscape, the Gunning Sys
tem company, owning the billboard fran
chise. Is succeeding In balking the
building Inspector's orders to comply
with the ordinance by continually post
poning the argument of the restraining
order granted by District Judge William
A. Redlck on January 7. The order re
straining the building Inspector from en
forcing the ordinance waa to have been
argued on January 20, but, while the city'
legal department Is and has been ready for
the trial of the action, It has been post
poned from timp to time. City Attorney
Burnam, however, hopes to have the action
tried at this term of court.
"We ar told that some of our posters
equal the works of the old masters," say
the dunning people, "and only today we
received a telephone request to place
billboard on Farnam street In the vicinity
of Thirty-eighth, to hide a ravine which
Is used as a receptacle for rubbish. We
want to do all we can to make Omaha
beautiful,' aald the Gunning man With
smile, 'and therefore we will erect a bill
board to hide that ravine.
Jab at Woman's Hat.
"Just because the hat worn by soma
woman on the street Jars on your artistic
sense, you cannot get an ordinance passed
prohibiting her from wearing . the hat. It
may appear beautiful to another. 80 It Is
with our billboards j-ou may not like
them, but-another will simply rave over
their beai:y.
"Then, again, how can the city tell us to
build our billboards a certain distance
from the sidewalks any more than It can
tell a property holder to build a house a
certain distance from the curb line," con
cluded the representative of the bill post
ing trust.
Mr. Burnam, the city attorney, states
that billboard legislation Is about the hard
est kind Imaginable. The Kansas supreme
court haa fVled directly against anti-billboard
ordinances, other supreme courta
are rather lukewarm, while some are
against the flaring poster advertlaements.
The Nebraska supreme court has never
passed upon the question. A recent bill
board ordinance passed by the council of
Milwaukee Is similar to that of Omaha,
but the Wisconsin courta have as yet not
been asked for a ruling.
As long as the restraining order Is In
force the building Inspector nan do nothing
with the billboards of Omaha, violation of
the order of the district Judge subjecting
him to a fine of 1500.
BEFORE COURT OF JOHN DOE
Dope-Rnined Lawyer Trie to Plead
III Own Case Old Fire Doe
But Smolder.
Fred Burt and F. L. ' Moose, tall
cadaverous,, blear-eyed, hollow-cheeked,
washed specimens, showed tho marks of
dissipation when they slouched out of the
bull pen In police court.
They were charged with vagrancy. They
are old offenders. The officer said he found
them trying to buy laudanum at a drug
store. Both pleaded not guilty as nnn
chalantly as though It waa their first ap
pearance on the charge.
Moose was once a lawyer. He now began
setting the legal machinery in motion.
"Judge, I want my witnesses sub
poenaed and they won't subpoena them
not even when I want them subpoenaed,"
he complained.
"Proceed," said the court. The officer
testified. Then Moose began cross-examin
ing.
"Tour knowledge of my being In the
drug store Is purely presumptlonary, ain't
it?" he demanded. '
"No, I saw you," said the officer.
"You saw me buying laudanum?" cried
Moose, shaking a long finger aa near th
officer a he could reach. .
"Is -that all?" asked the court, coldly
Mr. Moose said It was not all and Intimated
that he had still several bombs to explodd
of a legal nature.
"From what direction did I come to the
drug store?" demanded Moose.
"O, I don't know what- direction you
came from," aald the officer.
"No, you don't know. You admit you
don't know," ahouted Moose. "And yet
you attempt to tell this court"
While the case of Burt and Moose was
In an Incipient stage of success the en
thusiasm of the lawyer waa dampened by
the' court uttvrlng the fateful words:
"Thirty "days."
Moose after these tremendoua though
useless legal exertions spat copiously into
the cuspidor and slouched out with a
"what the use" air.
James Raney might have claimed to be
a full brother to the world-famous Happy
Hooligan and his claim would not have
been disputed by any sane person. He
came from the bull pen In police court
literally In rags. He wore no shirt at all
and a rag waa tied around his thin neck.
Red whiskers had grown upon hi face un
checked for at least two weeks and hla
bald head completed his resemblance to
Happy Hooligan.
Ha had been arrested In a drug store at
Twenty-ninth and Farnam street. He
was Intoxicated and refused to leave the
store. When asked where his residence
waa h had pronounced only the mystic
words. "Front seat."
The fate of his ubiquitous counterpart of
the comlo supplement befell him and he
will spend thirty days aa the guest of the
county.
John Snyder, clerk of a cheap lodging
house at Thirteenth and Dodge streets,
called Officer Maloney In Wednesday
morning to arrest two men who were
fighting In the lobby of the elite hostlery.
One of the men made a dash for liberty.
The offlcsr placed the other one In the
chargs of Snyder while he pursued the fu
gitive. No sooner had he gone than the
prisoner "hauled off and atruck Bnyder a
blow' In the face that caused him to yell
for help. Officer Maloney heard him,
abandoned the chase of the fugitive and
arrived back -at the lodging house In time
to prevent the escape of the man he had
left lu Bnyder' charge.

PHONE BLUE BOOK A GUIDE

Get Preferment. .
"Who' what In Omaha." Is determined
by the number of places In th telephone
numbers, accord ng to an official of tho
Nebraska Telephone company, who Is
authority for the statement that the con
tract department ha a long list of society
people who are waiting for shorter tele
phone numbers. 1
For instance:
"Yellow 23" Indicate a residence of more
than a quarter of a century In Omaha, box
reserved for the horse show, wealthy and
living In th best part of the city, sons
and daughters born in Omaha.
"Stephen 123" would indicate, not a
pioneer, but a new family from the east,
plenty of money, but no one knows where
It was made; own home In good part of
the city.
"Noah 1123" residence In Omaha of more
than ten years, made money cither In mer
cantile lines of the city or on a ranch In
the west, moving to Omaha to spend It and
break In. Lives in rented home In good
part of the city.
Thus the "blue boolc" of the One Hundred
Is placed In every home where there Is a
telephone book and by referring to the In
teresting work of Casper E. Yost, a line
may be secured on the families of Omaha.
The simple numbers of two numerala are
preferred, aa they give a family un
questioned standing. The oldest families
in the city have them and there Is an air
of respectability about them, as they are
so far removed from the common place
number of 'Kearrey 663," which la so
hard to remember. .....
By far the greatest- number of applicants
for the simple numbers want those of only
two numerals. Is willing to pay a little
more for them, but would accept a number
of three places for a year or two, until the
family can. "work up" to the last degree
and get Into the A-preferred class of the
telephone directory.' .
Simple telephone numbers also indicate
those having a public official In the
family Mayor Dahlman has been assigned
to "Harney 2600" and the telephone com
pany has agreed to eliminate a cipher every
term he Is elected to the mayor's office and
to rub . out tho : "6" when he Is elected
governor.
The editor of a society paper has been
given tho fractured looking wrecks of
"Harney 1006" for li)s home number, over
his strenuous protest, but he is to have a
"6" cancelled every fifteen years by special
agreement.
When Rome Miller drew a number for his
new hotel ho got "Douglas 2581," but Mr,
Miller Is to have a -number cut oft every
time he puts a competitor out of business,
until he gets down to "25."
The number at the police station Is
"Douglas 175," while the coroner Is
"Douglas 1228," and, the general hospital
"Douglas 865," all of them very stylish
number. , 1 .

CATTLE Owing to the storm throughout
the west, there was a considerable dn
crease In receipts this morning, and this
fact was largely responsible for an active
stronger market all around. Report from
eastern . markets were in the main favor
able and the demand for beef steers was
broader than It has been for several day
Desirable grades did not show so much
Improvement as the warmed-up and short
fed kinds, but the general market wa
pretty close. to lOc.hlKher than yesterday
all around and a clearance was made early
in me inrenoon. .
The market for butcher stock nhd can
ners showed fully aa muoh advance as the
trade In fat cattln and the offerings were
picked up In good season at prices all of
Bo ana 10c higher than yesterday all around.
Local packers seemed to be anxious for
the stuff and were all out In the yards
early, while the number of outside buyers
was larger than for several days of late
Veal calves sold at steadv to strong prlcei
and there was a rather firmer tone to tho
market for bulls, stags, etc., although
prices were hardly any higher than yes
terday. Supplies of stockers and feeders were
comparatively small and with a vlgnrous
tlcmand from both yard traders and coun
try buyers the market was active and
strong to 10c higher for anything at aH
useful In this line. The Inquiry, as usual,
was best for the steers of good weight
and quality and feeder buyers took quite
a few of the warmed-up and the short
fed cattle at better prices than the packers
would pay. Light-weight stuff of good
quality also found ready sale at strong
figures, and although the volume of trad
ing was small, the tone was strong through
out. Quotations on cattle: Good to choice
corn-fed steers, $5.1O46.B0j fair to good

HOG8 Another very liberal run of nous
was reported In today, the supply being
somewhat lsrirer than a week nuo, nnd the
qunllty better than for several days of
late. In line with the stronger market
east, local prlees showed an advance of
fully Be all around and the trade was active
from start to finish, the close belnK, If
anything, rather firmer than the opening.
There wa some Indication of a further
narrowing down of the rangn of prices, al
though heavy and butcher grades still
commanded top figures, and all elapses of
buyers discriminated sharply against the
thin, light and under weight loads. Tops
today brought $4.40, as agulnst J4.3o yester
day, and the bulk of the trading was at
$l.ir.0i4.3", as against 4.104(4.25 yesterday.

BHEEP There were only a dozen loads
of sheep on sale this morning and none of
these were what could be called demrable.
The Inquiry from packers was sufficient
to take care of the moderate offerings In
fulr shupe, so that prices In tho main were
UUOtably unchanged. lleceipts at other
market points were also Hernial and 110
imperial change In quotations was rviHM-ted
anywhere. The- trade so far this week
ha been practically steady on anything
wanted at all.
There was some Inquiry for feeder sheep
and lumbs at current figures, although juft
at this time tho demand Is not very liberal.
There wa only a moderate number on
salu. however, and dealers quoted the gen
eral market steady all around.
