HEAVY PROSTS AND TCE. Dispatches from various points in Illinois tell of heavy frosts which visited this state Tuesday night. Much damage was done to fruit and vegotables. Strawberries suffored severcly. Ico formed in many places, some points reporting half an inch.” The outlook for all winds of fruit before the frost was never better. Local dealers, however, do not fear much injury to the fruit crops from the recent frosts ama cold snaps. Should tho cold weather con- tinue, the damage 1s liuble to be heavy. Ivisyet too early to estimate how much of the fruit is killed, but the dealers say that if even one-fourth ' of tho crop is a total loss, there will be still enough to make abig output. In the opinion of a dozen South street merchanis the prospects are R wood for a successful fruit season, the buds = being now oo young to fecl any eftects from tha cold.

S PLANNING BIG THINGS. Grain Men Preparing to Open an Ex- change Roo Although but little bas been said through the papers during the past few days regard- g the scheme to build up an Omaha grain market, the subject has not by any mweans been dropped by its promoters, During the first two days after the books were opened to signers for stock in the pro- posed grain and produce exchange over fifty names were obtained, which included a very large majority of all the grain men in the city, buyers, consumers and brokers, At first it was thought best to call a meet- ing of the stockholders at once and proceed to elect officers and cornplete the organization of the exchange, After the subject had been thoroughly canvassed 1t was decided to post- pone calling a meeting fora few weeks, The present crop of grain is pretty well exhausted in this part of the country and it does not seem advisable to attempt tio open- ing of @ market uutil after harvest, when there will be something to trade in and some- thing to keep the market going. ‘There is no disposition on the part of the zain men to try to_establish an opon board with a great hurrah and with the possibility of ending in a fail- ure. Their idea is, as WAs outined in Tue Ber a fow days ago, to first centralize the grain business of the city on one floor in some suitable buil¢lng. Each firm cun have a private office and there will be one room fitted up for atrading or public room. After this is doue the noxt step will be a very natural one. Peoplo having grain to sell will always seck the buyers. Thoy will bring their sumples to the exchango room and the different buyers will be given an op- portunity to make bids on them. At first tho transactions may be few and small, but there will be avery opportunity for the business to grow. This appears to the grain men to be the best policy to pursue. In the meantimo this action of the grain men looking toward the orgauiziug of an ex- change is producing some discussion among members of the old board of trade, who had expocted that the market would be under the guidance of that body. Some board of trude members have talked of plans by which the grain men could be induced to come into the board and not organize a separate body. It is said that some of the officers of the old board are willing to resign to make room for any grain men whom the graiu crowd may wish to place in_ the positions. Other schemes have been discussed by different members, and it is quite likely that some definite pla for a compromise “will be presented 1o the grain men before they complete their new orgunization. = e Bids will be received by Arthur John- son, 606 BEE buiiding, until Thursday noon, May 12, for excavating cellar of Merchants Express Co.’s barn, | —— Another Director.

ROPES FOR TWO MURDERERS Dodge County's Sheriff Getting Pointers for a Double Hanging, SHERIFF BOYD SHOWS NEAL'S NOOSE. Modus Operandi of the Gallows and Technique of the Rope Closely Studied by the Ofticers. Sheriff Milliken of Fremont was in the city yesterday pathering pointers on how to per- form logal exocutions. The sheriff has a job of thi skind to perform June 7 December 10, 1836, Carl Pulsifer, a grain dealer of Crowell, a small town nineteen miles from Fremont. had closed his affairs, and just after dusk had started for his home, a quarter of a mile distant from the town. He was followed Ly Charlos Snephard and Christian Furst. Toe next morning bis dead body was found. The two men were arrested, tried and convicted of murder in tho first dewree. Tho case was carriod up and the decision of the lower,court sustained. Yesterday Sheriff Milliken came to Omaha and this afternoon visited Sheriff Bovd, telling him that he wanted to know something about a hangman's rope. The Douglas county sheriff had oue, Ho opened a drawer of his desk and pulled forth the long flaxen coil that has been manufactured to help send Ed Neal into eternity. The Fremont she eritically and iff examined the learnea a noose that it was made in Cincinnati cost of £18. Just at this moment a Bee reporter happened into the sherifi's ofiice, when Boyd snatched it from the Fremont man, with the remark “I might as well put this rope away, as L will not go out to catch my horse until even- ing." The two gentlemen then went out and in- spected the gallows that was made for Neal and is now stored away in the basement of the jail, Sheriff Milliken expressed himself as being well pleased with the machinery and thinks he will duplicate it for his use when the time comes - Gessler's Magic Headache Wafers, Curesall headuches in 20 minutes.

Constable Sullivan, acting as a special dep- uty, is enforcing an order issued from Juage Doane's court last February, and is ejecting five Swedish families from the land at the northeast corner of KEast Omaha, belonging to Byron Reed. 'The order of the court grew out of a suit brought by Mr. Reed against Martin Quick toobtain possession of the land in question which had been squatted on by Quick and sub-let to the people living on it. The court decided that Quick had no title to the land aud the tenants were ordered to move. Mr. Reed offered to lease them the ground for $1 per year in order to have them acknowl- edge his title, but at the instance of Quick they refused to do so, and _the sheriff was called on to enforce the order of the court. Constavle Sullivan was sworn n for that pur- pose and two families were put out of their shanties yestorday. Yesterday morning the rest of the squatiers were put out. No par- ticular trouble was experienced although the squatters protested loudly against being re- moved. The Criminal Docket. Judge Estello yesterday set the trial of state casos for next week.

One of the most ambitious feats ever at- tempted by a Nebraska bicycler is to be un- dertaken by Arpad Barothy, a young gentle- man of I"'remont, well known 1n this city. He is about to make a trip to his native land, Hungary, and proposes to do the distance over the intervening ground on his trusty wheel. He will leave Fremont at 6 o'clock on next Sunday morning, making his first run to this city. He will be accompanied hither by about twenty of the young bykers of Fre- mont, and will be met on his arrival by a number of his local friends 1 wheel circles. If not too fatigued he will coutinue his journey in_the aftornoon Mounday he will resume his journey to New York, where he will take the steamer for Hamburg. Ou his arrival at Hamburg he will ride to hus native place, Grand Wardein, Hungary, adistance of several hundred miles, Mr. Barothy is an enthusiast on the wheel and his friends have no doubt that he will carry out his resolve and enjoy the varied ex- perience which it will afford.

The East Omaha land company filod a peti- tion in equity Wednesday in the United States district court askinz that Bloedel be re- strainod from eatering upon and taking pos- session of the land.

Hovr. =gl SOUTH OMAHA. nest Argument in Favor of the Paving Bonds. Sad one of the shrowdest and cessful business men of the city : I would like to answer the citizen whose interview on the paving bonds question ap- peared in Tk Bee. Tu the first place the inaccuracy or indefiniteness of the statements made and the evident disposition of tho anti- paving-bond citizen would require answers and explanations Sertatum, but believing it not necessary I shall conient myself with controverting the principal causes of his ob- Jection to issuing the 0,000 paving bonds. *It is true that the county commissioners passed a resolution uppropriating $16,600, not £20,000 as stated in that interview, out of the road fund, but it was encumbered’ with this important and controlling condition, *to be paid out of the road fund when in condition to pay it.” Now the facts are that the road fund did not have a balance at that time and never since has, nor has it at_this time,while the fund to be derived from the levy of 1501, not yet levied, is fully contracted ‘for. But further, the commissioners could not give South Omaha a single dollar for this purpose, and when the board of commissioners learned this from the county at- torney, and other attorneys, this illegal resolution was promptly re- scinded. and the whole ~ matter was thus placed on the books as it had beon in law all the time, just as it was tefore the resolution was passed. “The statement that proverty abutting Twenty-fourth street aloue will be benefited is simply ridiculous. Every lot in South Omaha will be benefited and every citizen in all the wards who has a team, and” there are thousands of them, will be greatly benefited. Ninety per cent of the teaming done between the two cities is done on Twenty-fourth street, aud the conditiou of that strect in the last ninety days has cost the owners of vehi- cles thousands of dollars and inconvenienced citizens and business men beyond compute. Further, this is a compleie answer to the insinuation of the interviewed citizens shat only Twenty-fourth streot property rs will be benefited. The bonds are to be issued only for alley and intersection pur- poses, and every real estate owner must pay for all paviug directly fronting on his lot, and then the entire traffic between the two cities will go over this paving. And as one wanting to be fair and just, I submit that the city and citizens who use and wear out the pavement vut down, kept in repairs and replaced when worn out by the abutting property owners should at least pay its fawr share and no more of intersection costs. “The bonds to be voted are not only for Twenty-fourth street, but for Q, L, Twenty- fifth and Twenty-sixth streets. ' Tho city has a bonded debt of only $257,000, of which only $152,000 can be figured against the 10 per cont limit. As the assessod valuation will bo over $2,000,000 this year the §50,000 bonds cau be legally issued.” Ea most suc- Nearing Second Place.
