THE OMATIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 8 1895 MINNEAPOLIS MAN BUYS IT Morse Stook of Dry Goods Sold at Auction Yesterday. LIVELY COMPETITION FOR THE PROPERTY Buccessful Bidder May Open n Lnrge Depart t Store In This Clty— the Creditors Will Fare, w the stock of goods of the company took place at noon in the court room of Judge Ambrose in The Bee building. Besides a number of creditors who were present, the sale was at- tended by several of the largest merchants of the city and a number from outside points, Bids were received orally, the first offers being: J. Jamieson, $45,000; Boston Store, $36,45 . Olsen of Minneapolls, $53,650 for the goods and $100 for the fixtures; Ha den Bros., $35,800. The bids were then raised, the Boston Store offering $53,750 for the goods and fixtures, Then S. E. Olsen bid $64,250, and buyers commenced figuring again on prospective profits. After a few moments of conference among the buyers, bidding was resumed and Hayden Bros. suc- cessively pushed up the figure until S, B. Olsen bought the stock for $58,000 including the fixtures, The further disposition of the matter was deferred until 2 o'clock, which time the court ®et for the passing of the checks and the ap proval of Receiver Koch's action in the mat- ter of adjusting the affairs of the Morse com- pany. The recelver will have to attend to the collection of the accounts, but this sale takes oft his hands all the goods. How large a pro rata share would fall to the creditors, Mr. Koch sald he was unable to determine. What added |m~r£n to the sale was the expectation that fn*the event Mr. Olsen s3- cured the stock, he would at once open up at Morse's old stand a large department store, similar to the big Minneipolis establishment he now owns. Judge Ambrose, speaking of the sale, ex- pressed sutisfaction over the outcome, stating that it would, in his judgment, be the means of bringing much foreign capital to the city, fnasmuch as Mr. Olsen Is understood to be backed by the large eastern firm of Claflin & Co. Marshall, Field & Co., and Porter Bros., eastern firms, had representatives present as bidders, anxious to secure the prize drawn by Mr. Olsen. Mr. Olsen stated that he had not yet defi- nitely decided upon locating here, but would make up his mind shortly. It is confidently belleved that the purchase means the estab- lishment of a large and progressive establish- ment in Omaha, however. A conference of the creditors of the Morse Dry Goods company was held yesterday after- noon after the sale of the stock of dry goods and_fixtures had been completed. It was finally agreed that $33,000 of the money ghould be turned over to the creditors rep- resented by C. B. Kellar, preferred by Morse when the failure took place. This money will be pro rated among them. The balance will be placed on deposit, to be held subject 1o the order of the court. This balance will be the bone of contention among creditors, and the right of the preferred creditors of the Morse concern to shut out the other creditors will be contested, with this $25,000 as a stake. In addition, the collections of Receiver Koch on book accounts will be turned into the fund in the hands of the court, ——— PROMISE OF A The sale of Morse Dry Goods GREAT SHOW, Managers of the State Falr Find Themselves Crowded for Space. ‘Applications for stalls and pens at the state fair grounds are still coming in at an undi- minished rate to Secretary Furnas, and if the demand continues a few days longer more sheds will have to be built. There will be representative exhibits in the live stock show from Wisconsin, Illinols, Ohlo, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana and daho in the north and east. There will be exhibits from as far south as Loulsiana. The western country will be represented from as far west as Salt Lake. The stock exhibit of the fair will far surpass anything ever seen in_the western states. Every foot of space in the agricultural building, together with six large tents which will be used as annexes, has been taken and there are still exhibitors looking for room to show their wares. Several more tents with wooden floors will probably be used to ac- commodate the overflow. Two car loads of alfalfa reached the grounds yesterday and the work of thatching and decorating the alfalfa building will be pustied to completion. An applicatien was recelved yesterday by Secretary Furnas from a woman in Bos- ton, asking for space in the women's exhibit.

Mrs. Mabel Howlett, a handsome young woman, called at City Prosecutor Shoe- maker's office yesterday and swore to a complaint charging her husband, Charles Howlett, with applying vile and obnoxious epithets and threaténing to use a pistol on her. A warrant has been issued charging Howlett with offensive carriage and threat- ening to kill, One year and a half ago Howlett took his young bride with him to Oklahoma and after @ residence of six months there left her, re- turnings to Omaha, saying that as soon as he arrived in this city he would send fund for her transporalon north. The money never materialized and after waiting some weeks she secured transportation through her parents, at 3601 Maple street, where she now resides. Since her return she has been hounded, so she says, by her husband, who meets hor at every conceivable place, abuses and threatens her, Friday night she says that she was insulted on the street and as a last resort, and fearful that her life was in danger, she applied to the court for protec- tion. Howlett lives with his parents at 2624 Grant street. — SWUNG OUT THE MHUGE STAR. City 1ull Being Decorated for State Fair Week. The maln entrance to the city hall was closed yesterday while “City Electriclan Schurlg and his assistants were hanging the mammoth electric star which will ornament the south gable of the building during state fair week. The star is sixteen feet in di- ameter and the task of swinging it from the roof was a dificult one. The outline of the star is traced by three rows of incan- descent lamps with red, green and yellow globes. These colors were used instead of the red, white and blue originally con- templated because they are the colors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben and it was de- clded that patriotism should begin at home, The knights requested that the star should be hung on the west side of the building, as the reviewing stand for the parades is to be Iocated on the vacant lot just west of the city hall, but the wires had already been placed and it was impossible to effect the change without considerable extra expense, e Tents to rent, 1313 Farnam street.

Omaha has within the last two years added to its commercial trade a distinctively new business, being that of a house dealing ex- clusively in law books and law publications. On the first day of July, 1893, Mr. A. W. Kinsman of this city opened a law book store at 1613 Farnam street. He was for many years the general agent here for the Bancroft-Whitney company, law book pub- lishers, of San Francisco, and had built up a large trade for that company in the territory of which Omaha is the commercial center. After a large experience in his line in this and other localitfes, Mr, Kinsman saw the possibilities of a law book trade, with Omaha as the center, and his success during even these hard times of the past two years In- dicates that he made no mistake in opening up a law book establishment here, the first of that character ever opened in Omaha. In April, 1804, Mr. I. L. McCloud of Omaha assoclated himselt with Mr. Kinsman, and the business since that time has been car- ried on under the firm name of Kinsman & McCloud, at the same place. They have the only law book house between Chicago and San Francisco, and their trade embraces the states of Nebraska, Towa, South Dakota, Kan- sas, Colorado, Montana, Idaho and Utah. The business of the firm has grown to that ex- tent that they have concluded to incorporate, fixing the capital stock at $30,000, and organ- {zing under the name of “The Kinsman-Me- Cloud Law Book company. The general nature of the business to be transacted, as set forth In the articles of incorporation, will be the publishing, purchasing, selling or ex- changing, either at wholesale or retall, law books, law periodical and law supplies of all kinds. Every law book published will be for sale by the new company, and it will keep in stock, as hereofore, a general line of new and second-hand law boo Both Mr. Kinsman and Mr. McCloud speak in very high terms of the loyalty of the Omaha bar to the new business and of the liberal patronage received from them. The attorneys seem to appreclate the fact that they can now procure what they need in the law book line without having to wait until books are ordered and sent from Chi- cago or New York. The success of Messrs, Kinsman and McCloud clearly indicates that Omaha has grown into a metropolitan cen- ter, for, previous to the opening of their place here, the law book trade was largely confined to the great centers of the east. Now the attorneys of the great country west of the Mississippl river are beginning to look to Omaha for their law books, as others have and do come here for other commodities.

Murphy, living at 413 Eighth street, Council Blufts, a business man of that city, drove over to the state fair grounds to enjoy the many attractions of Jubilee day. There was no stabling to be had for his valuable horse, and he unharnessed the animal and tied it in a grove at Elmwood park. After the races . Mr. Murphy lingered on the grounds, chatting to some acquaintances, When he went to get his horse it was gone. He was unable to find it and had to glve up his search on account of darkness. He did not care to leave his phaeton in the park for fear of its being stolen, 50 he got between the shafts and dragged the vehicle for three- quarters of a wile to a school house. More hard luck was fu store for him. The cars had stopped running and he was compelled to walk. He left a desecription of his horse with the police and staried out to see if his phaeton was where it had been left, sl il Wil Board at the Jail.

So far as the climate is concerned I was partic- ularly well pleased with it. I was astonished to find so many flowers still in bloom, and learncd that it {s not uncommon to find roses in bloom even as late as Christmas. We found figs, quinces, pears and wild strawber- rles in great profusion. I like the country and have purchased a tract of Orchard Homes land. I shall permanently locate there with my family.

There is already considerable talk by mem- bers of the Omaha bar relative to the dis- position of the criminal work at the Septem- ber term of the district court. Some say that two judges might just as well start in at once and dispose of the criminal cases. If one judge attempts to do all of the business of the crimiral section of the district court he will find himself completely swamped before the term is half over. County Attorney Baldrige has expressed the opinion that the trial of the six murder cases will occupy a large portion of the term ol court. The Seljan murder case Is of such an In- tricate character that this alone, it is stated, may occupy weeks, the chain of testimony being of a circumstantial character and de- pending on many links for its development. A similar statement is made concerning the Ish cases. In addition to this, it is generally conceded that cases of such magnitude must have first place, all minor crimes ylelding the trial place on the docket and emly meriting sec- ondary attention. Attorneys for the state say that unless a murder case is tried at a date comparatively near to the commission of the crime, it is a recognized fact that witnesses may become scattered and a conviction ren- dered Impossible. “Yet should the trials of prisoners held for lesser crimes be pushed- forward to another term, as they would be if one judge had to devote his attention to the trial of murder cases, it is certain,” says the county attorney, “‘that the county would ultimately find jtself overwhelmed with habeas corpus cases. Pris- oners ara entitled to a trial within a reason- able time from the date when incarcerated.” It is maintained that should a second term clapse without a trial being granted, many prisoners who have been in jail for some time already could easily got a release under the constitutional provision allowing a speedy ke quéstion of having another judge called in to try criminal cases has already been broached to members of the district court, Judge Keysor has been spoken to in referance to the matter. Questioned yes- terday regarding it he stated that he be- lieved any of the judges would be willing to render assistance in the criminal work. He doubted if one would, however, touch the criminal docket unless the intimation came from the criminal section of the district court that it was desired. ‘‘Already,” he continued, “too many times a howl has been raised in that quarter because judges had been interfering with the claims of C. R. Scott over that branch of the district court.” The judge conceded that there was much force in thie suggestion that habeas corpus cases might be brought unless something was done, in case the murder cases occupied the expected time, The state of the civil docket renders it possible, Judge Keysor says, for one of the judges to devote at least a part of his time to criminal work. The trial list of cases is about the same actually as during the May term. The number of cases on the new docket 1s 1,671 against 1 recorded for the May term. The May term followed so closely upon the January term that about 200 cases were carried over on the May docket which had already been disposed of, thus making the falling off mnot any in reality. —_—— Charged w Bad Writing.

The contract for filling areaways on Sherman_avenue was let to M. J. Hughes at 23 cents per yard. That for repaving the in- tersection at Twentieth and _Clark streets with vitrified brick went to J. B. Smith & Co. at $1.78 per yard, under a five year guananty, A sldewalk estimate of $635.82 in favor of Contractor Connelly was allowed. A comfnunication from D. H. Wheeler was a request for Information as to the mumber of miles of streets that had been swept during July and August under the day labor system. This is the letter that Wheeler had been reading before ward clubs all the week with tho declaration that he was unable to flud out how many miles of street had been cleaned. The communication was not pre- sented to the board until yester- day, and then it was placed on file, Strect Commissioner Kaspar stated that his records: gave the informa- tion asked and he would prepare a state- ment from them at once for the information of the petitioner. WILL NoOT WILL GET RAISE THE RATES, During Fair Week Hotel Men W Not Rob ir Patrons, The rumor that has been clrculated in out- side towns throughout the state that Omaha hotel landlords intended to raise rates during fair week is entirely groundless. An inquiry among the various hotels devel- oped the fict that regular pricss would be charged In every case, and though it was exs pected that the larger hotels would bs ¢ owded during the exposition, every effort would be made to give the visitors good aczommoda- tlons. Most of the people who intend seelng tho fair, it is sald, will probably remain but one day or two, and some but a few hours, to that the bulk of the people.will not be in the city at any one time. In this way a much larger number of patrons of tho hotels can be taken care of and better service given, Hotel accommodations for the fair will not be lack- Ing and the landlords etate that they will perform their part without any attempt to fleeco guests. = —_—— THEY ARE NOT TALKIN McCarty Boys Ordered to Be Away fr Interviewers.

Kept ing = DUSINESS ON THE UNION PACIFIC. | Much Better Than During August of Last Year. On the Idaho division of the Unlon Pacific the August business shows a healthy increase over that of the same month of last year. 1t 1s one of the encouraging features along the line of the Overland. The loads originating on the division during the month were 1,715, a8 against 1,187 for the same month last year. The through loads were 1,130, against 1,605 for last year. The total business for the month was 2,845 cars, against 2,692 for last year. While the through business of “the road has not increased over last year's showing, the local business shows a healthy improve- ment. The Callfornia fruit business usually forms a large part of the through business curing the summer months, but this year it bas been light, due to the splendid fruit crops all through the eastern country and to the further fact that the California packers are taking care of a large part of the crop that was formerly shipped out of the state. Railronds Did n Good Nusinesy. Both the Union Pacific and the Missourl Pacific are very well pleased with the busi- ness handled by the special trains to the fair grounds Friday. While the trains had not been advertised to any extent, the patronage was large. During the day the Missouri Pacific carried about 2,500 people. The Unfon Pacific ran ona train from Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs in the forenoan and another in the afternoon. The morning business was light, but the patronage In the afternoon was all that could have been de- sired. The accident to the Missourl Pacific engine in returning from the grounds, while un- avoidable, caused much regret among the local officlals. It seemed that every turn of the wheel soma part of the engine went to pleces and the passengers were considerably delayed. Arrangements are being made to take care of tho fair business in great shape by all of the roads having access to the groun Railway Notes nnd Personnls. B.

Omaha's Postmaster Talks About Mis Trip Across the Water. Not until yesterday did Postmaster Ruelld Martin, who returned from a two months' tour of Burope Thursday, have much time to talk about his trip, and then ho talked first about his home coming, for n some respects ho confessed his welcome home gave him more pleasure than any of his experlences abroad, Omaha parties whom he met In Chicago Wednesday evening told him that he would not be allowed to get off at Omaha the next morning, for a_committee would be at the train to Insist that he go right on to Lincoln to open the democratic state convention, as chairman of the stralght democratic state central committee. Getting to the postofiice Friday morning he found a new carpet on the floor of his pri- vate office to welcome his step and a fine bouquet of La France roses on his table as a compliment from his subordinates ir the local postal service. Later in the day at the business office of his firm he found his desk cleared up and a huge bouquet standing in its center. Even if he had not enjoyed himself whilo away Mr. Martin said it would have been well worth while to go because of such cordial reception on his return. Mr. Martin visited the chief citfes ot Ger- many, Italy and Switzerland and Paris and London. At Dresden, where he left his fam ily, he fell in with the Cook party from America, making the capitals of Europe. He made pleasant acquaintances at once and en- joyed his association with them until he parted from the company in London. Mem- bers of the party were chiefly from Provi dence, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and George town, though they numbered eighty and rep- resented fifteen states, With twenty of this party Mr. Martin ascended Mount Ve:uvius, and among the boldest peered over the lava wall into the grimy crater.
