Aged Constable
Guards While Grain
Is Being Removed
Armed with a scoop shove1! in one
hand and a heavy cane in the other,
Constable A. R. Hensel, a civil war
veteran, aged 77 years. Monday evenr
ing stood guard while 537 bushels of
oats owned by the Casco Milling
company were removed from the
barns of Heafey & Heafey, undertak
ers, Twenty-ninth and Farnam
streets. Mr. Heafey is out $225,
which he paid to a stranger who ped
dled the oats to him at a price alleged
to have been 2 cents below the mar
ket price. The oats have been re
turned to the Casco elevator.
Accompanied by five men and two
big trucks, Constable Hensel went to
the barns at dinner time Monday
evening. When he left at 7 o'clock,
after missing the circus and his even
ing meal, he piloted a wagon load of
oats in bulk, and another of sacked
grain, to the elevator of the company,
duped by the same slippery stranger.
Mr. Heafey made no complaint
when the constable approached him
with an order from County Judge
Crawford replcvining the oats, but the
barn men were anxious to leave at
the appointed hour. The constable
insisted that they keep the doors open
until the oats were shoveled and
sacked.
The case will be called before the
county judge September 2.

City Grants Use
Of Auditorium for
Charity Concerts
George rJrandeis and Louis Nash,
representing the Associated Retailers
of Omaha, prevailed upon the city
commissioners to grant the use of
the Auditorium for the cliarity con
certs. The retailers will pay the ac
tual expenses of the building for the
davs on whicb the concerts will be
heid.
Commissioner Butler of the depart
ment of accounts and finance advised
the city council that the Auditorium
fund showed a deficit of $242.81 Au
gust 1 and probably -will be $500 by
September 1.
Mr. Butler suggested that the coun
cil should take cognizance of this defi
cit, which seems to be growing. On
January 1 there was a balance of
$169.35, to which $1,000 was added
from the general levy. Receipts
January 1 to August 1 were $9,991.25
and expenditures for the vear 10 Au
gust 1 have been $I1,40.V41.
The commissioners did not expect
to make any profit for the city on (he
Auditorium, but they had hoped that
the receipts would equal actual op
erating expenses.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
On account of the margins having
been advanced several hundred per
cent, the small grain traders and spec
ulators around the commission houses
have been put out of business and
there is nothing left lor a good many
of them to do but sit around and
i watch the quotations and figure out
profits that they might have made
had they been 'in on the deal.
' Under ordinary conditions and
j when the grain market has brcn nor
mal, commission houses have been
taking buying and selling trades at 1
j cent per bushel, or $10 per 1.000
j bushel. Some weeks ago, when the
market showed a tendency to he er
j ratic. the margin was advanced to $20
j per 1.000 bushels, or 2 cents a bushel.
A little later the margin was pushed
up to 5 cents per bushel. Last Fri
day if went to 10 cents, or $11X1 for
permitting a trade in 1.00(1 bushels of
wheat. Kven on this margin there
were a few trades made, but now they
are practically at an end.
Raised Over Night.
Tuesday morning, when the regular
traders appeared at the commission
houses, they were notified that the
commission housas over night had
agreed that from now on and as long
as there are wide fluctuations in the
price of wheat, the margain will be
I 20 cents per bushel, or 200 for get
ting m on any 1,000-bushel trade.
Moreover, they were informed that
tor the present, nothing smaller than
5,000-bushel lots would be bought or
sold. This meant a putting up of
$1,000, and aside from regular grain
! dealers, there were lew who could
stand the pace.
While the grain market was some
what wild, it was nothing as com
pared with Monday. Omaha cash
wheat sold at $1.4.11.44, a drop of
l'-Sto 2'i cents from Monday. T here
were 150 carloads on the market and
the sales were fairly heavy, a number
of the dealers filling orders for ex
port through Atlantic ports.
Com sold down a cent from Mon
day, the ruling prices being 78(fii70
cents, with thirty-seven cars" on the
market.
Oats were H of a cent off and sold
at 4243 cents, with thirty-nine car
loads on the market. ,
