Farmers Troduce a Few Hundred

DEALING GOES ON WITH CORN 70
(Iris Bayers Take 200 Cars at Ne

Farmers Field Wheat fer
fl at Omaha.
Corn at i to 74 cents and wheat at Sl.W
on the Omaha market Is drawing the grain
out of the country like a magnet would
pull away steel shavings. ,
Not only la the grain coming to the
Omaha market, but Chicago and eastern
buyera are on the floor of Uie exchange
daily closing deals 'for large amounts of
corn at the extremely higlr' price of 6 to
(S'i cents.
Mrw Co.. Chicago dealers, bought IW
cars of com from the Kiddle Grain com
pany Vf Omaha at a price above cents,
which la probably the highest price ever
paid for corn on the Omaha market by
several cnts. The cash In this one deal
alone amounted to about $170,000 and it Is
eatlmated that some $350,000 worth of Ne
braska grain was sold in the trading room
of the Omaha Grain exchange to eastern
buyers since 11 o'clock Thursday. J. H.
Hamilton sold SO.O'iO bushels, while other
dealers have sold from 20.W to lno.noo bush
els at the record-breaking price.
While the report is frequently circulated
and It Is generally understood that the
gT8in 1s almost all out of the country,
every time the price of corn goea up to
W cents or over the farmers promptly pro
duce some liw.non to 30.000 bushels, and It
Is snapped up at once by the buyers In
Omaha.
Wheat does not come In as readily.
Thouch the top price for spring wheat has
readied as high as $1.01 the farmers de
clare they will sell it when it reaches $1
delivered In Omaha. '
Report of Government.
Government reports March 1 showed that
DS per cent of the Nebraska wheat crop,
or ll.S37.or bushels, still remained in the
hands of the farmers. During March and
April but a small amount of the wheat
haa been sold In Omaha, but as the price
has advanced a few cars are coming In.
Grain dealers estimate that there Is still
14 per cent of the wheat crop of 1907 in the
hands of the producers who stand a good
chance for securing tl for every bushel.
Corn has been pouring In during March
and April. Some 34 per cent of the Ne
braska crop was In the hands of the farm
ers March ' 1. It is estimated that only
about 30 per cent is now In the bins of the
growers, but dealers are some times sur
prised the way corn appears when the mar
ket gets around the 70c mark.
Only once has the price of corn been
anywhere near as high in Omaha since
the organization of the exchange. This
was in 19TTJ when there was a corner at
tempted at Chicago, which sent the price
soaring. But little corn sold at the price
which had been forced to the point where
the market waa at a standstill. But the
prices at present are not caused by such
artificial methoda and the buying and
aelllng Is almost as active aa It has been
when corn waa around 60 cents.
Old dealers say that in 1890 prices were
paid for Nebraska corn at country sta
tions, which If the grain was shipped to'
Omaha, would be equivalent to 71 cents.

TRACT F0R,NEW TARGET RIFLE
Exteaaloa of the Range at Fort Crook
. la Ordered by the Got.
ernmeat.
A board of officers, consisting of Csptain
E. R. Crissman, Captain Joseph H. Gohn
and Second Lieutenant J. M. Churchill of
the Sixteenth United States Infantry at
Fort Crook, has been appointed to con
elder propositions for the purchase or lease
of suitable land In the vicinity of Fort
Crook for a new target range.
The board will meet at Fort Crook on
May 15. The tracts under consideration lie
southward from Beilevue and embrace sev
eral hundred acres of land now used for
farming purposes. No deflnilte selection
has yet been made, nor is It known that
these racts will be selected. The fact re
mains In any event that It is the determina
tion of the government greatly to enlarge
the Fort Crook target range if the neces
sary territory can be secured for any rea
sonable sum. The present target range on
the reservation is entirely too contracted
for the modern, long range, small arms
and a larger range ia necessary. The an
nual target practice for the Fort Crook
commands must now be undertaken st long
distances from the post. This year the two
battalions will go to Watertown, S. D., for
target practice. Involving heavy expense
for transportation, which the government
hopes to avoid in future by getting a range
nearer the fort.

"I think that It la not In the province of

First Methodist Episcopal church, Omaha.
Bishop Goodsell in transmitting the re

it will be given due consideration. In the

Matter of Individual Conscience.
"I do not know as this action will widen
the acoite and bring more offenses under
the ban of the church, but It leaves the
matter entirely with the individual and
the individual's conscience. What ia wrong
for one man may not bo wrong for anotliir,
and what is right for one man may not be
right for another. Mutters of this sort
should be left entirely with the Individual
to be dealt with by hira as he Sees fit. ac
cording to his scriptural guidance. -
"I can remember t lie time (and I can still
look back to a young birthday! when it
was considered a crime in sjme MelhoilUt
circles to have music, especially violin
music, in the church. But we have out
grown that. Just because tiie violin for
merly waa associated v.' tin the dance hall
and the billiard table formerly associated
with the saloon, there la no real wrong in
the violin or the billiard table In them
selves. 1
"This in the first time the bishops have
recommended a change in this rule regard
ing the catalogue of offenses against
wrongs."
