Car) .T. tfolmes. known oa Jack Vernon, ft printer employed at the Klopp-Ilarilett Printing rompany. son of J. A. Holme, editor of the Cozad Republican, and brother of M. and J. C. Holmes, owners of the Jexlnston C'llpper-Cltlr.pn, fhot himself In the heart and died at JOB South Fourteenth street, the Gate City I origin? hoi.ee, where he roomed, Monday morning. Connected with the story Is the name of a young woman, to whom Holmes was en Raged to be married. He refera to her only as "Emma" and also "Mrs. Carl" In the brief notes that he left. "My son was engaged to a Miss Emma Orey of North riatte," said J. A. Holmes, father of tho dead man, In a long distance telephone conversation. "Her father died there recently and she left the town and had not been seen there since. We don't know where she went. "I wrote to my son two days ago urging him to let us hear from him. He. had not written since he left, two months ago." A young, woman, supposed to be Miss j Grey, called at Holmes' rooming house to j aee him an late a Friday Inst. Though sbots were heard In the house at t o'clock. It was not until 10:16 that the police were told of the tragedy, and when the off'cnrs reached the limine the door of Ko. 71, where the mnn roomed, wns found locked from the Inside. Dr. R. B. Harris, who wns accompanied by Dr. O. C. Bishop, viewed the body. Bullet JVear Henrt. A bullet had penetrated the left breast at the region of the heart. ' Di. 'Harris turned the body over to the officers to await the Instructions of tho coroner. The body was fully dressed and the hots apparently had been fired as the man was about to leavo his room to go to lila work. Holmes, or Vernon, as he was known dur ing the period he had lived at the lodging house, for eight weeks, was about 23 years of age afld fas a well built, athletic young man. "He was working steadily," said the lodging house keeper,- "nnd never drank, llo was at work Sunday and came home between 8 and 9 o'clock, and before retir ing chatted with the other boarders. 't A letter found on the yuung man bore the words In pencil written on the en velope, "How easy to forget all this." Across the top of the letter also ap peared In pencil, "Yes, rub It in; It Is I a,d enough as It Is." ( The letter, which was on a letter head of the Coad Republican, was signed "Dad." But Mr. Holmes knew nothing of any "rub bing It In." Appeal from His Father. Afte referring to some work that had been done for a man named "Cap," it went on: "If you really pay up that account and the rest. If there Is any rest, all will be right. I have always felt ,you were worth saving and could never give you up. Show the good fellow you are, and let them all see there Is go'jd Holmes' stuff In you." These letters were lying on the table a few feet from where the body lay. In a Small box on the table were two tied bundles of letters. On the top of one was a New Year's card, on which was written In ink: '"Worth looking into but don't they are Emma's." In the letter signed "Dad." there Is a reference to "Emma as well." "Carl has not been at . home for two months," said Frankwood Holmes, a half brother, when informed of the suicide by The Bee by long distance telephone. "I know nothing of any bill or obligation which the letters found on him may refer to," John Stroud of the boarding house says that he became acquainted with Holmes the day after he arrived In Omaha. Stroud says the young man was worried over his marriage, which Stroud thought had already talen place. GRAIN MEN FOR RESUMING OPTION TRADING ON 'CHANGE Omaha Brokers Would Re-Establlah Deals' Abandoned When Late Arthur Jacqulth Failed. An effort Is being made to resume option trading on the Omaha Grain 'exchange. Members recently held a meeting at which they decided they would like to have tho practice resumed and the directors havj been asked to promulgate a scheme by which It may be' done. This has been tried twice before on the exchange, but has been dropped each time because the late Arthur Jacqulth tried to force a corner and went broke in so doing. Large buyers In the. south are asking for an option market that they may protect their purchases, and the growers of tho west are asking for It that they may pro tect their sales, or thut they may hedg) against them. Members claim the market will be more successful now, as there are twice as many traders on the floor now as before. Then there were snips of 100.000 bushels a day.

BRAN DRIS STORES JOBBERS FIGHT FOR RIGHTS Omaha Business Men Insist on Exist ing Differential Rate. EOADS PLANNED AN ADVANCE Punishment of Grand Trunk Line by ' Other Koads Said to lie Part of Plan Lackawanna Makes Explanation. , Omaha jobbers are making a fight, to keep the differential rate which Is now In existence between New York and Chicago and which governs about 45 per cent of the goods shipped from the seaboard to Omaha. ' The roads have conceived a way. to ad vance the freight ra(os 5 cents a hundred on these goods and the local jobbers ara resenting It. The plan was to advance the lake and rail rate to 70 cents and add a differential to the rate, but the Grand Trunk rood would not stand for It. A ro duction la now proposed on the lake and rail, and It Is said to be a bluff to get back at the Grand Trunk for Its stand. The Lackawanna, In stating Its position In asking for a readjustment, which means a raise on 45 per cent of the traffic from New York to Chicago, "and which affects Omaha In a corresponding proportion, says: Negotiations were undertaken a year ago to secure a general readjustment of the whole westbound rate relation from New York, but which resulted, after six montha" effort. In failure. Individual action being then contemplated by certain lines to accomplish equalization further negotiations were undertaken by certain Interests, a-nd have been under way fur clx months.. These interests have shown an earnest and commendable desire to bring about adjUKtment, -and have secured con sent of standard, coastwise and differen tial lines, except one Important differen tial Interest the Grand Trunk railway whose unwillingness to 'co-operata has again prevented an adjustment. 1'nfalrneaa Alleged. While the carryings of that line, because of unwillingness to make any report thereof, are not definitely known, from the Day A Plain and fancy white goods and all kinds colored lin ings, including sateen and plain colored lawns up to 10c values at, i per yard 2C best Information obtainable Its tonnage from New York to western territory In competition with standard lines Is In exoess of the carryings of this company and ap proximate that of some of the largest trunk line systems, arid which must be considered as conclusive evidence of the unfairness of Its position In Insisting on the uss of excessive differentials. t Careful investigations recently made. In dicate that there has been a' remarkable growth in the tonnage carried by the coast wise differential lines as against those of the standard trunk lines, and, although definite figures are not obtainable, those obtainable Indicate that the coa&twlse dif ferential line as a' whole, are carrying, be cause of their excessive differentials, ap proximately 60 per cent of the total buslnesi from New York competitive with the stan dard trunk lines. These negotiations have, however, made It unmistakably clear that the plan pro posed wa sufficiently equitable and feas ible to Justify giving it a trial. It con templated adoption of the following basis: New York to Chicago ' 1 2 3 4 5 6 All rail standard 75 65 SO 85 DO 25 Ocean and rail... 70 1 47 S3 28 24 Rail and lake 70 61 47 33 28 24 It recognizes the principle that there should not be any all rail differentials and but one rail and lake differential, from New York and that should be the same and not exceed acale of 5 cents under the all rail. This company has constantly sought an adjustment which would relieve It from the concededly unjust burden of the pres ent excessive differentials. BOARD SAYS HOWELL SHOULD PROSECUTE BROADWELL CASE Comnslaaloaere Bay He la Log-leal Man to Carry This Case .Through the Courts.) Members of the Board of County Com missioners declare that "Frank S. Howell Is the logical man to prosecute the suit of the county agalnat Frank A. Broadwell for those fees. The oolnlon la called forth by a communication to the board from Mr. Howell, who wrhea: "I observe that the suit of the county of Douglaa against 'Frank A. Broadwell Is again on the docket for trial. My employ ment with the county is in force. I ad dress thia communication to you asking that you determine whether or not it is your wish that I prosecute this ease, and If it is more to your purpose that other ar rangements be made I wish to meet with the board and aid so far as possible In de termining the course of action to be fol lowed." The commissioners who said that they thought Howell should go ahead with the suit were P. J. Tralnor and Jeff W. Bed ford, and it ia blleved that others of the board are In agreement with them The county attorney's office Is ready to take the cae for prosecution, but will not oppose direction to Mr. Howell to fight the suit. , I Conaterfelt Dollars buy trouble, but a genuine quarter buys Dr. King's Nw Life Pills for constlpstlon, malaria and Jaundice.

Woman Taxpayer Startles Treasurer j Willingness Comes Into Office and Lays Down $85, to Learn that All She Owes . is , 85 Cents. Deputy County Treasurer Emmet Solo mon was pushed clean off center by a woman who stepped up to his window to pay her personal taxes. And the "come back" of this officlnl almost gave the woman heart dlteaBe. Stepping up to the window in the treas urer's office the woman laid down her duplicate receipt (and proceeded to count out a pile of money. She did not slop until she had $s!! lying on the counter.. "What's all this for?" inquired Mr. Solo mon. - "Why, It's to pay my personal taxes,", said the woman with a pleasant smile. Solomon lookfd again at the receipt and asked: "How much do you suppose you owe?"-' "It's $S5, ain't it?" Inquired the woman. "No, ma'am, your tax In. only $0.85," said the Wondering official. Eighty-five cents! Why, I thought it was $35," exclaimed the too willing woman, when she was able to talk. Then she scooped the pile of money Into her reticule, and from a little puree used for street car fare she produced the change to settle her .account '. After getting her receipts the woman stood about as lf doubting she had heard aright. Giving Solomon a wondering look, she finally departed. "Some milliner will probably get . the benefit of that mistake," remarked Solo mon. "The county board ought to buy a medal and give It to that lady. It Is not often that we get anyone who pays with out a kick, but to walk up smiling with that amount of money for personal taxes Is certainly worthy of public notice." alilWMatWWW-i.'WWI m iimnTOUTjja;a, Rheumatism is instantly relieved by SIOAM'S IIMMEMT PrUmt. 93c..
