GRAIN RECEIPTS GO WAY DP
Make Increase for January of Nearly
Two million Bushels.
CORN LEADS ALL OTHER CEREALS
Shipments Oat of Omaha Alao Are
Mark Heavier Than la the
Same Month for Last
Year.
Grain receipts on the Omaha market for
the months of January just passed were
4,277,700 bushels an Increase of 1,730.300
bushels over the receipts of the same month
last year when 2,647,400bushels arrived on
the Omaha market during the month.
The principal Increase Is shown In the
receipts of corn, though 200,000 more
bushels of wheat were sold here. Oats
broke even.
Shipments were much heavier, the els
valors having vast amounts of wheat In
storage unloaded a large amount during
January and while the receipts of wheat
were 1,022,400 bushels, 3.649,000 bushels were
sold and shipped out of Omaha, Corn ship
ments were so much smaller than the re
ceipts that the report of the grain exchange
for the month indicated that much corn
had been stored.
For the first time In many months, the
barley shipments were heavier than the
receipts. The consumption of barley by the
Industries of Omaha has kept the ship
ments low.
The following shows the receipts of grain
during January, 1H08, aa compared with the
receipts for the same month of 1908:

Resolved. Thst this company of represea
tstlve cltisens of Omaha cordially endorses
the project of establishing In our city a
university for the promotion ofound learn
ing and pract.cal training under such
Christian auspices, as shall be free rrom
,iitiri rAtiirni while, at the same
time, conducing to the highest and moat
useful tvne o f oltlsenshlD. and that we
hereby tender the project our encourage
ment and sunoort.
This resolution was unanimously aaopiea
by a rising vote at the close of a banquet
at the Rome hotel Monday night at which
tha orolect of a new university for Omaha
was discussed by the leading cltisens oi
the city. About seventy of the most promt
nent men of Omaha gathered to hear ei
the project and to learn of what had been
done looking toward the establishment of
the university, which Involves the moving
of Bellevue college to Omaha.
That considerable rjroat ess toward the
establishment of this university has already
been made developed from statements made
bv Dr. H. H. Maynard. financial scrs-
tar'y of Bellevue college, and by Dr. D. E.
Jenkins of the Omaha Theological seminary.
These gentlemen made the statement that
1300.000 will be given to the unlverelty from
the general educational fund of 143,0(10,000
given by J. D. Rockefeller, provided Omaha
would give 1200.000. It was also stated that
$28,000 of thla money had already been
given, $6,000 of it having been given by one
donor who was present, but whose name
waa not given.
General C. F. Manderson was toast
master and enlivened the meeting Dy
several byplays. At the close he told of
the good such a university could do to the
city and bewailed the antics of city or
ficlala, high in office, who delighted to sot
in a most undignified manner.
Where the Trees Stanas.
Another Interesting episode was called
forth when General Manderson called upon
Victor Rosewater to state what the atti.
tude of the Omaha press would be toward
supporting the new university. Mr. Rose
water replied that The Bee always stood
ready to support any proposition which
was for the good of Omaha but aald h
could not speak for the press of the other
side, which had opposed the acceptance
of Rockefeller's tainted money for the Uni
versity of Nebraska. He suggested that
as a representative of the World-Herald
was present he might be permitted to
state what the attitude of his paper would
be in this case.
General Manderson then called upon W.
R. Wataon, managing editor of the World
Herald, for his views. Mr. Watson side
stepped from the former position of his
paper that it was not right for an educa
tional inatltutton to accept tainted money
by stating that the World-Herald would
not take a back seat for any one but
would stand up tor anything that waa for
the good of Omaha.
"All big things of Omaha have had a
small beginning," said General Manderson.
"It was so with the Transmlasisslppl ex
position, suggested by E. Rosewater. Live,
vigorous men carried It forward to a great
success and Omaha owes all these men a
debt of" gratitude. Success has come to
most things Omaha has undertaken. Tou
are embarking in an enterprise of great
Importance to Omaha but when the citizen
ship of Omaha puts Its shoulder o the
wheel' It Is sure to succeed."
Judge Howard Kennedy told of the his
tory of Bellevue college from its founda
tion to the present time and told of the
greater advanluges of such a college if it
was located In Omaha.
Great Field la Omaha.
Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, pastor of tha
First Presbyterian church, told of the needs
of Omaha for just such a university as is
planned. "We should look forward to the
days that are to come," said Dr. Jenka.
"We are proud of our atate university, but
we wsnt to form ours on a little different
plan. A university helps to complete the
fabric of a great city. This Is not to be
a Fresbyterlan university we have one
now-but we want a university on broad
lines."
"I know of no place in the country where
there Is an open field for a great educa
tional institution like Omaha," said Dr. H.
H. Maynard, who Is in close touch with
those who are giving Urge sums to educa
tion. "Can it be done? That Is the ques
tion, and I turn that question right back
to you gentlemen. Societies have advertised
it to the world that they are tn the field
to help Institutions of this kind. The board
now has $43,000,000 and I understand there
is more to come. The income of this money
Is to be given to Institutions which will
meef the conditions, which vsry as the
board thinks fit. When that board takss
hold of an Institution it sticks by It.
Andrew Carnegie has also gens Into the
college business as he expressea It. if the
conditions are right the money will be
given to you. It all depends on Omaha.
We want $300,000 from Omaha and we will
engage to put up $300,000. That will not
make a university, but It is tha first sten.
That will give us a campus and a liberal
arts building and considerable ever for a
neat egg. I think I know of three people
who will give a building apiece."
H. H. Baldrlge spoke of the elvie side of
the project snd gava It as his opinion that
ma great universities should be In the
centers of population.
Edacater'a Vlewaolat.
Dr. W. M, Davidson, superintendent ef
the public schools, told cf the relation of
the secondary schools to a university. He
told of the advantages of having different
centers of edeucatlon and aald that 40
per cent of the attendance at Harvard
came within a radius of 100 miles of Bos
ton snd that the same waa nearly true
of IJncoln. Mr. Davidson advocated the
establishment at the start of a school of
applied aciences, saying that technical
schools are coming to the fore most rap.
idly in this country -and that thla was
Omaha's opportunity. He said that anf
U per cent of the graduates of the high
scnooi at umana went to colleges or unl.
versltles. but with tha establishment of
university in Omaha that could be raised
to SO per cent lu ten years.
Dr. T. J. Mackay of All Saints' church
said that the churches were not meeting
nw uquirtratnn or giving boys and airla
a Christian education nor does the Sunday
scnooi meet me issue. He said the most
prominent ruins of ancient cities were
their amphitheaters and coliseums and said
ne nopca tnat, Omaha might become rather
noted for Its schools and hospitals.
The university is no longer a place for
leisure education," said Dr. Jenkins, "and
the universities of today are being planted
near the smokestacks. The city furnishes
the problems of today, both bf civilisation
and religion."
J. A. Munroa. freight traffle manager of
the Union Paclfie, said ha thought the time
waa ripe for the establishing of a univer
sity at Omaha, He said that Omaha was
now ready to handle auch a proposition aut
that as the west was growing (est it
well lor Omaha to step la ( uU time aad
make a reputation as a neat of learning j
before otner western cities were ready to
take up the task.
Others who spoke were Henry W. Tstes,
President Stookey of Bellevue, C. C.
George, W. T. Graham and Very Rev,
George A. Beet her, dean of Trinity cathe
dral.
Each guest was given n printed plan of
the new campus and the proposed build
ings. The grounds include the old Redlck
homesteal, the present residence of O. C.
Redlck, to be used ss the music and art
building. The grounds extend from Twenty-first
to TWenty-flfth streets and from

Under resolution of Member James C.
Lindsay, adopted by the board last night,
the secretary will lay in a full supply of
smelling salts, ammonia and other restor
atives for the high and various graded
schools to have In readiness should any
child In the school or visitor be overcome.
A small supply of smelling salts at the
high school has been exhausted, but under
the resolution this will be replenished at
once.
"Children in the schools do not often
faint away, but visitors often lose their
senses," said Member Lindsay in explain
ing his resolution. "I mean no criticism of
the schools, but I deem it advisable to
have restoratives always on hand in case
of an emergency."
The secretary waa allowed to use his
judgment as to quantity necessary in
buying the drugs.
City Treasurer Furay notified the board
that by reason of cancelling real and
personal taxes sggregatlng $1,574. 62, by
action of the city council, the income for
the board will be reduced $360.13. With
this decrease In funds the report of the
finance committee showed an Increase in

ary, 190$, of $560. The expenditures for
the month lust closed were I47.S71.83. and
for January, 1$0$, they were $47,021.90. I
This ahowing led John U McCague, chair
man of the finance committee, to advise
the board to "go alow" In Incurring new
liabilities as It haa about reached the
maximum in teachers' salaries. These
salaries have Increased about $50,000 tn
the last three years, and the' increase this
year will be $10,000 more, he said.
The board decided to buy desks and

Permits to sell liquor were granted to
twenty-eight druggists Monday evening by
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
sitting as an excise board. These druggists
are all Incorporated and a question had
arisen at a prevloua meeting as to whether
the law of the state really permitted cor
porations to engage In the sale of liquor
at retail even for medicinal purposes. Pre
vious to this action Attorney Abbot, repre
senting tha Sherman-McConnell comptin-.,
had addressed the board at length, arguing
thai the recent , decision of the supreme
court in regard to the Hastings Brewery
company did pot bear on the given case.
The granting of psrmlta to the E. E.
Bruce Company and the Richardson Drug
company was opposed by Commissioner
Brandeis, who was outvoted, all the others
caating ballots for permits.
Aside from some unimportant routine mat
ters, other action of the evening was the
appointment of Thomas Ring and William
Bhoup to the detective force. A letter and
check for $60 from Mrs. E. W. Nash were
received, .the money being aent the relief
fund in recognition of the prompt work of
the fire department at the Nash home re

The board adjpurned to meet In special
session Thursday night, when the renewal
of license for the saloons of J. E. Wyant

He has purchased (gOjhcres of irrigated land near Mis

plant orange, fig, olive, pecan, almond trees, etc., and
if they "do as well as he expects" he will build a home
and spend a portion!of.his winters there.
Mr. Bryan has long contemplated improving a place
in the South, and it is not surprising that his selection
should be made in the heart of the Gulf Coast Coun
try, whose climate is almost ideal and whose soil is
so wonderfully productive that returns oi $10,000
from Zi) acres of onions such as that made by
Mr. Geoi Hoffman of Kingsville, Texas are
of common occurrence.
Mr. Hoffman's experience was duplicated by many other
growers in the Gulf Coast Country. That was two or
three years ago. I he change which has been wrought
in the Gulf Coast Country in the short time since
then is marvelous.
Prosperous towns and cities have sprung up irriga
tion has been systematized and extended methods
of marketing have been improved. Now large
areas of the Gulf Coast Country are dotted with
small farms, the owners of which are making for
tunes every year. '
On a small tract of land in the Gulf Coast Country
you should be able to make a good living and lay
sway .snug sum each year. Experience is not
necessary A It is simply making garden " on a
larger scale. v,.-.,.
Investigate this proposition while the land is within
