Since that time, how- ever, the § hog has not been in it, compara- tively speaking. The ton was reached in February when, on the 17th of that month, #8171 was paid, Since February there has been a good market, which has held up well until within the last few days. The range of prices for the week as compared with one year ago was as follows: 1808, 1802, Tonday, May 22... .87 00@7 274 $4 45@4 67'% @7 36 4 4004 csdig, May 95 H Wednesday, May 94 ¢ 15 4 4004 60 Ahursduy, $ay 26.. G 6ow6 96 4 504 65 Eriday, May 96,0 6 75@6 90 4 65604 70 Saturdiy, May 27.. 6 85@7 00 4 G0@4 70 After hogs struck #5, in the latter part of June, prices advanced steadily through July, and on August 9 reached 0. During August there was a decline, and_on September 1 the market had dropped back to & again. There was but little change in_ September and October, but in November the market began tolook up and on December 5it struck $6 again, and advanced steadily throughout the month. January 5, just one month later, 7 was paid. The majority of the farmers be- lieved that this bulge in the market was only temporary and they hurried off to mar- ket all the hogs that were fit., From early in_January, however, the ad- vance was rapid, and on the 80th of the month the price had reached §8. This price was beyond the most extravagant dream of the farmer who had been selling for years for 3 and $4. The top notch was reached in February, when prices touched £.1717, the highest market ever had at the South Omaha yards, Then a dec et in and continued until the latter part of March, when the best hogs brought less than §7. Early in April the top was close down to £, but prices Cid not tarry long at this mark, for before the month was over they were pay- 7again. Prices held up well m May until the break came, us shown in the table above, Nebraska Short on Hogs. Phere isno question but what there is a big shortage in hogs all over this wes! countr, ¢ best e 1 the decrea with “‘out of sight” prices. af ceipts in 1802, when $i price paid. ceipts: the average The following shows the re- her, 184 January, 18! February, 1 Total. Decrease. It is that the quite evident have come to appreciate their breeders, rmers s none of them are now being marketed. ‘The bulk of the hogs now coming in are young barrows. Occasionally thera will be o small bunch of heavy sows, but only in cases where the sow has” lost her litter. All sorts of reasous for the high hog market are given. In conversation lust evening one man laid the whole blame to the stringency of the money market. He did mot = be- lievo that the market would be any lower, however, than it is_now for a long, long time; at least, not until the new crov came in along in October. Another commission man said that *he fu- ture hos market was entirely in the handsof the packers; that there was not suflicient provisions in the country to supply the de- mand for sixty duys, and therefore the paclers had it all their own way. Continu- ing, he said there arc mighty few hogs in the country. The daily constimption is what is keeping the market up. Fully one-half of all the hogs that are now being killed are used in the fresh meat consumption. 1t is my opinion that prices will not fall be- low 86 inside of a year. There is un im- mense small fresh meat trade that must and will be supphied daily. The big dealers and packers are certainly not going to put any vork in their cellars as long as prices ro- main anything like as high as they are now. They —will simply buy what they can” or have already sold, No, I do mot believe that the farmers have disposed of any of their breeders although the price was a big temptation, The run from now on is bound to be light as the marketable swine are not in the country. The only bad effect that the stringency of the money market has had on hogs is the fact that it will compel some to scll a little sooner than they would if they were not forced, Effect of Tight Money. ‘“The banks have tightened up the strings and are collecting everything when it is due, and are also refusing to lend any money sort of security. This condition af- cattle men worse than the hog You can hurry up fat on a hog, but you can't do that with a steer. One would think they had been feeding some of the hogs we uare getting now on strawberry shortcake and lemon pie to see them. Just think of a 10-montk.s-old pig weighing 809 pounds. Why, I beliove that e of the farmers have been letting their occupy the front parlor from the clean, smooth looks of them. With this strong market we are not receiving over 50 per cent of the average of the last five years. It will take a long time to muke up the shortage. At least it will mever occur in 104." The de- mand has naturally increased on account of the increase i lation, and the demand for our pork in foreign markets is something great, for years received such a low value for their hogs that they became careles Th neglected their hogs, be- cause there was nothing in raising them, They never thought of trying to raise two litte from one sow uutil the prices went up, but you can bet they ave looking after the comfort and welfare of their pockets nowadays.” o are entively too high in proportion to everything else,” said another man, ‘“There never wa time in the history of Nebraska when a farmer could buy ‘the necessaries of life as cheap as he can today, All the implements that he uses are and the prices he gets for his othe are entirely out of line with the mos now being offered tor hogs, Therefore I do not believe that the present quotations will be maintained for any great length of time, Yes, it is likely to take a long time for the country to stock up again with hogs; that is to reach the condition of a year ago.” ““To give you an idea of the shortage of hogs," said a stockman, “I was just talking to a farmer, who told me that with twenty- four sows he only saved twenty-two pigs, less than one pig 1o a sow. The only way of raising one litter of pigs and selling their corn will be abandoned now and the farmer will keep b corn and raise two litters a year where it is possible. In order to do this the farmers will spend a litde money the way of improvements, such as building sheds and cribs, but they all tell me that there will be more money in doing that than selling the corn and letting the hogs run out in the weather,” Although there is a scarcity of pigs all over the country there are more of them in central and western Nebraska and central and western Kansas than in all Towa, Mis- souri and eastern Nebraska and eastern Kausas, In brief, aman in the hog business now days is considered respectable and can stop at one hotel for a whole week without being asked to pay his bill in advance, Same Old Sam, A medium sized man with uinty eyes and fuzz all over his face, carrywg a violin in a well worn cloth sack forced his way into the police court room Fridsy “evening and dofing his hat said: “I am U, P, Sam, gentlemen, and I want permissign to sing a few of my songs on the street tonight.” Chief Beckett, Judge Fowler, George Stryker aud a half dozen more were in the room, *Give us a sample of what you can do,” suggested one of the party, and in a l moment lsuun bad bis fiddle out of the bag and was how!' way on & _tune he called ““The Puget Somwl.""

He sings in n sort of ni-falsetto voice and scrapes the bow across the fidale hard enough to partially drown his awful voice. His small roa eyes are just bad enough so he can play biind whenever it is necessary and ho is a first- class beggar, In fact he is a professional. He has got the business down fine and is ]lllnw on his farewell tour across the country. e is going to Chicago to com- pete for the world's t‘hnmllionsh;{) in quick composing _and is confi- dent that he will get it. He saves every cent he gots hold of and does not drink. In Oregon years ago he got hold of a timber claim and with the nickels and dimes that he has picked up playing his fiddle on the streets he saved enough to pay for the clearing of 100 acres of the land. Sam has a large family, some of his children being grown up and married. When he has seen the World's fair he will return to Oregon and pass the remainder of his days on his ranch in luxury. Many of the old-timers in Omaha vill remember Sam, as for a tim he worked at the transfer depot in Council Bluffs and also at the Union Pacific depot. CONTRIBUTE THEIR “DONATIONS.” Gamblers Fork Over Thelr Fiftles—Can't Bo Let In on the Grouna Floor. Yesterday was the last day of grace given to the South Omaha gamblers, and before 5o'clock in the evening six of them had gone to City Treasurer Hoctor and paid in their $50 fine, or “donation” as the reccipt rends. There were one or two other places where gambling has been carried on, but the fine was too stiff for them and they quietly folded their tents and took down the sign. In the past no restriction whatever has been put on the tiger but in the future Chief Beckett says he proposes to see that the houses are conducted quietly and in as re- mote places as possible. He has therefore issued an order that no gambling shall bo done on the ground floor. This will create a row all around and it will not surprise many if the gamb- blers get into a row among themselves over location and give the muyor good grounds to close theni all up entirely. If any of them are allowed to operate on the ground floor they will all be looking for ground floor locations, and if the chief forces those now on the ground floor to the second story they will object. The order has gone forth, however, and time will tell whether or not it will be obeyed. No arrests were made last night, although gambling was done on the ground floor in more than one plac Magle City News 1n Brie% Ed Willlams s in Kansas Cit, E. Woodard of Lincoln is in tne city. T.

SCORED THE NOTOR PEOPLE Judge Soott Says the Street Car Employes Are Reckless in Many Respects. SANITARIUM AFFAIRS IN LITIGATION Saunders County Man Gets Out of Jall and Sues the Individual Who Got Him There-Small Verdict Agalnat the Swift Company, Attorney John L. Webster scored a victory in Judge Scott's court yesterday in the case of Minnio E. Moore, administratrix, against the Omaha Street Railway company. It seems that a couple of years ago the hus- band of the plaintifft was a passenger on the Sherman dvenue car line, going north. When he reached a point midway between Webster and Burt streets he jumped from the motor, which was going at the customary rate of speed. In making the jump he was caught in some manner and dragged under the wheols, receiving injuries from whic soon died. Suit was brought in the district court by the widow, who sought to recover the sum of 5,000 damages. Among other things the plaintiff alleged that the accident was largely due to the fact that’ there were no guards around the wheels. To this petition Mr. Webster de- murred, alleging that the husband of the plaintiff did not alight or attempt to alight from the car at any point where it was cus- tomary for the trains to stop, but instead he got off in the middle of the block and at a point where trains were forbidden by the ordinances of the city to take on or lot off passengers, The point was argued at some length and in passing upon the question the court held that the demurrer was good ; that the plea that there was ice on the st the car or that therc were no guards wi not good when it was shown that the passen- ger got on or off the car at other places than street crossiugs, With the conclusion of the opinion the court took occasion to give the strect rail- way company a httle wholesome advice by ng that it was apparent that the cm- ployes of the company were reckless in many respects, not having the proper regard for the lives and ety of the passengers, Time and 1in e had seen conauctors start their trains before the passengers had succeeded in getting upon the platforms, and he had also scen them refuse to stop to let people off, thus compelling them to jump and take the chances of receiving the most serious injuries. Such a course was encour- aging the people in their negligence, as it was inducing them to board moving trains in order that the trainmen might not _be in- convenicnced by making the required stops provided for by the charter and the ordi- nances of the cit, Schism in the Sanitarivm, While the managers and proprictors of the International sanitarium are still engaged in attempting to cure all theills which flesh and blood ave heir to, they are also engaged ina row which threatens to shake the very foundation of the concern and possibl it from the face of the earth, Tho f. stitution be called upon to do some account- ing. At this time William €. Maxwell is the man who has barad his brex 1 started after his assoc G. A an and 13, N . Acke Voss, who he alleges have not given him a square deal. Tn his petition, which is now on file in the district court, Mr. Maxwell, in making public his tale of woe, declares that, during the month of August, 1892, ne entered into an agreement with his associates to put up suflicient money to run the plant and that he would go ahead and cure all of the and neryous diseases that came his way.

That trial resulted in an ac- quittal, but instead of going right home and putting in the spring wheat Mr. Clossen lingered about Omaha until yesterday, when he commenced a sui’ in the courts, setting up the claim of $13,152, which he avers Mr. Brown must pay.

Description of the Krag-Jorgensen Adopted by the Board of Ordnance. Soldiers of the United States army will be armed within a few months with magazine rifles of the Krag-Jorgensen type. This de- cision was reached Friday afternoon by the Board of Ordnance and Fortification, in ses- sion at the government building in Jackson park. The decision is one of considerable importance, says the Chicago Tribune, It declaresin effect that American inventors have not yet mado a magazine rifle which can compare with this model of foreign skill. Awaiting only the final approval of thesecrctary of war, it will settle at last a controversy which has been raging for more than two years in military cireles, Under the provisions of an act of congress passed in February last the sum of 300,000 will be spent in 1he manufacture of the rifles in the national armories, the ro alty, of course, ing to the foreign in- ventors. Down in tho exhibit of the War department of the government building are models of rifles in every stage of develop- ment, from the first invented in China, hun- dreds of years ago, to this same Krag-Jor- gensen gun, which is placed at the top of the list as the highest type of modern magazine rifles. Early in 1801 a special board of army offi- cers was appointed by the War department to investigate and examine models of maga- zine rifles and report as to which one seemod best suited to the needs of the United States army. Magazine rifles of every prominent type were submitted to the board for i amination, and its roport after twe work w; of the Krag- ensen gun. Amc tors and maker of fire- arms were, . not satisfied.
