Hogs The trad can be described In a
very few words again today, a movement
was very active and prices showed one of
the biggest advance noted In soma time,
all price reaching naw reword level. Shlp-
' Ding orders were large, outalde buyers tak
Ing In the neighborhood of one-fourth of
the offerings, While supplies were larger
iiiday, packers, who had need of everything
bre, were left In the same share aa yes
terday, that of having to get what they
could regardlesa of price.
On the opening prices were around 16c
higher and seller claimed that some uf
the first twgs sold were no more than
10016c up. But before the bulk of the
offering changed hands the keen dtmand
from all quarters had pushed prleea up to
. 30c higher levels and as was the case yes
terday the later end of the trade waa the
beat, any number of Individual Joads ell
Ing as much as a quarter higher. Move
men waa very active and a pretty good
Clearance had been effected by 1:80. -
As Is. usually the caae on Tuesday, quality
of the offerlnga showed quits s bit of
Improvement over the previous day and the
market, which waa generally around 20c
higher, looked even better than that on
paper. Bwtk of the offerings sold at 113.16
018.13 and tops reached 318.36, which la
by far the highest price ever paid here.
Since the close of last week valuea have
moved up about 86c and are now 3.00i per
hundred higher than at the first of the
year, when the bulk stood at 88.16010.00
and the top was $10.11.

Sheep Sheep and lamb receipt Were
again of tolerably liberal proportions for
thla time of year, around fifty cars, or 12,000
head, showing up. The two daya supply
foots up 14,113. which Is practically the
lima number as were her during the sal
period last week and two weeks ago, but
targer than for the corresponding days of
mat year by over 2.000 head.
' The market was In very muH the same
fhap as oft the preceding day. Demand
waa In the same stagnant rondltlon that tt
has been for the past week or so, and as
oma of the arrivals that come on later
trains did not get up to the barn until' mtd
(orenoon or after, packers made little efforts
to get things going on early rounds . First
olds on the bulk of the desirable lambs
rere mostly a quarter under yesterday's
Igures. -
.The market dragged through the whole
forenoon and then a clearance waa not
made. Bulk of the offerings aold 10086c
lower, best Mexican lambs stopping at
314.60, With most of the westerns at U.VU
and under. Sheep were about steady.

hour died in St. Joseph's hospital

other linemen, Minnick had

the sale of the National Fidelity and
Casualty company's building at

The structure, which has been the
bone of contention in much district

The judge based his refusal to
confirm the sale on the grounds that
another bidder, David Cole, made

GONNELL INSISTS
ON CLEANER MILK
If Extreme Cleanliness Will
Not Bring Results May In
sist On Pasteurization.
MUST PAINT UP BY MAY 1
In circulars sent to dairymen Health
Commissioner Connell stated: "This
department is seriously considering
the recommendation of a new milk or
dinance which will require that all
milk sold in Omaha shall not contain
more than 35,000 bacteria per cubic
centimeter. If this cannot be
brought about by extreme cleanliness
and sterilization of all bottles and
utensils, we will be compelled to
recommend a pasteurization - ordi
nance." The health commissioner and milk
inspector say this is a step forward.
The present ordinance requires not
more than 100.000 bacteria per cubic
centimeter. The average amount
of bacteria of all samples tested last
year was 49,000.
Dairymen arc notified to paint
milk houses, whitewash barns and
clean yards before May 1.
"This order means just what it
says. Take Notice," are the closing
words of the health commissioner.
Dunn Says Eight-Hour
Day is Not Practicable
Ballard Dunn of the Union Pacific
is now working on data to be pre
sented to the Interstate Commerce
commission to show that it would be
impracticable to put the employment
of railway telegraph operators on a
strictly eight-hour day. The plan as
applied to offices in cities and large
stations where there is a great vol
ume of business, is found, would
not be so objectionable, but in small
towns and at unimportant stations it
would work a great hardship on the
railroads.
The eight-hour day as applied to
small stations, Mr. Dunn finds,
would necessitate the employment of
I three men at each station, whereas
as a rule tnere is not worn cnotign
to keep one busy. At many of the
stations where it is necessary to keep
operators the total receipts of the of
fices are not sufficient to pay the sal
aries of the forces employed at the
present time.
Mrs. Bullard Will Be
