OIL $1.07, How They Varied the Monotony of the Trip with ration. Many fond goodbys were sald as the boat stoamed out from the Cleveland wharf, relates the Detroit Freo Press. Sweethearts tossed farewells to sweethearts over the murky river and mothers and fathers waved handkerchiefs in regrot. A young man, bearing & solled satchel and a sad, melancholy expression, had boarded the boat and sought & secluded corner. As the eteamer passed the break- water he made mental observations of the scenery. A young man at his elbow looked up In an appreciative way. He, too, seemed sad and retrospective. “Beautiful, isn’t it?" he observed, blink- ing unsteadily at a bell diver's apparatus. “Wine!" responded his new-found com- panion. “Let's go down on the lower deck, where we can get a better view,” suggested the first speaker. On the stairway they met another sad- appearing young man. Some way or an- other sympathy seemed to draw the trio together and they all sought the lower deck. They did not find the deeired scenic in- spiration. They looked at one another in sorrowful despair. The blue wav as they tumbled along the surface of the lake, looked tempting. “It's a long trip,” sald one, gazing des- perately over the gunwale. “A terrible trip—under stances,” sald the second. “What'll we do?" querled the third “Pray for a storm and the customary anttdotes that are provided on board ship,” said the first. Then the trio sat alone and disconsolate in & corner and watched the waves dancing in the sunlight. After a while the breeze stiffencd and the water began to stir frot- tully. A nervous man sitting opposite the trio reached into his satchel and pulled out a fat bottle containing a rich red fluld. He took & long pull. One of the trio nudged the man next to him. Hls faco grew a trifie pale and he looked far out to sea. The third sprang to his teet and quickly approached the man with the bottle. In an indescribable tone of pathos he ex- plained that he had a sick infant upstairs; that he had neglected to provide certaln necessaries and that unless he could se- cure the bottle there would be dire dis- ess aboard ship. S passed up the stairway with a grave face and the bottle and in & short time his companions joined him. A happy trio stepped off the boat at De troit that evenini — It Made Her Indignant.

The police force as now cumposed is made up of twenty-two men, but after deducting a day and a night jaller and a number of special officers only fourteen men are left for patrol duty. Of course the officers on special detall do more work In ferreting out criminals than do tho patrolmen on beats, but the people seom to want more men to walk beats just at this time and this accounts for the re- quest that will be made tor a temporary increase in the police department. Owing to the condition of the funds in this department the extra men, if put on, will have to be pald out of the emergency or some other fund, but it s thought that this matter can bo arranged satisfactorily. At least six additional men to work nights or from noon until midnight are needed. As Q street seoms to be the favorite stamping ground of the holdup artists, these additional men, it 18 stated, can be distrib- uted along this street for the purpose of offering protection to the business inter- ests of the Third ward, The impression prevalled that when Chiet Mitchell, Allie and the other officers cap- tured the three crooks that the gang had been broken up and that a stop would be put to robberies. The trio of toughs had not been in jall twenty-four hours, how- ever, before the police recelved a tip (nat arother gang was enroute here. From the number of tricks turned within the last few days it Is evident that the gang ar- rived as per schedule, but 8o far the polico have been unablo to land a single one of the crooks Information was rocetved by the police yestorday which leads them to belleve that one if not more of the members of the gang now working South Omaha will be appre hended within the pext twelve hours. M. Moskowitz, the Q streot merchant who was robbed Saturday night, stated to (he police yesterday that he thought he could ldentity one of the men who held hit up and a g0od description was given the officers, One or two clues are boing followed and Chief Mitchell s in hopes that he will be able to announce the arrest of ome or more members of the gang (oday, Interest on Bonds Due. On December 1 thero fell due at the state flscal agency in New York the sum of $7,- 196.60 interest on grading, sewer and inter- section bonds. When pecial district bonds are {ssued the city guarantecs the payment and when property owners in the various districts gre siow about paylng theso spe- clal taxes the city officlals are compelled to borrow money with which to take up the interest coupons. In this case, as with the November maturities, nothing will be done toward borrowing the money needed to pay the cverdue interest, as the issue of $70,- 000 (unding bonds will provide for the pay- ments, With the completion of the history of this bond fssue the documents will be sent to bond attorneys to pass upon the legallty of the bonds. 1t is expected that a reply from the bond lawyers' will ba recelved before January 1. In case the issue is not de- clared up to standard by the munietpal bona attorneys it will most likely be necessary to fssue general indebtedness bonds to take the place of the district bonds declared 1i- legal. In speaking to a city official a few days 6g0 & representative of a firm of bond buyers who deal largely in South Omaha securities said that from a legal stand- polnt the city was in a bad way as far as bonds went. So many of the special dis- tricts have been thrown out by the courts that buyers are naturally a little backward about {nvesting thelr money in South Omaha bonds just now. This buyer saia that the only thing South Omaha could do to save its credit would be to fssue $125,000 in general Indebtedness bonds. The general indebtedness of the city now fis $307,000. Thus by such an issue the bonded debt of the municipality would be increased to $432,000. Dr. Schindel in London, In a lotter to The Bee dated London November 17, Dr. C. M. Schindel, who fs attending a course of lectures at Guy's hospltal, tells of the interest Englishmen manifested In the recent presidential elec- tion. “Near the close of the campalgn,” he says, “any news we could securo through any reliable source was indeed apprectated. The London papers printed many extracts from American publications and we were thus enabled to kesp fairly well posted We received the news of McKinley's elec- tlon at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Several of the London papers had head- lines ‘McKinley Victorious,' followed by portraita of the president. A great many Englishmen appear to be admirers of our presiden Continuing, Dr. Schindel writes that he and his wife spent about two weeks travel- ing through Scotland and England bLefora settling down in London for a two-month stay. At every city visited they were treated courteously, In speaking of the Parls exposition the doctor says that he spent two weeks there. He does not think the show equal to the World's falr. In conclugion the writer says: “We get The Bee every day and are 8o anxious to receivo news from home that we read the paper through, advertisements and all.” Dr. Johnson on Alleged Corruption. In the last lssue of the South Omaha Methodist Dr. J. A. Johnsou, pastor of the First Methodist church, Twenty-third and N streets, has this to say “Considerable Interest has been created by the beginning of prosecution of Mayor Kelly for bribery and oficlal corruption. It all of the threatened rumors are made good some intoresting and sensational revelations may be looked for. If the mayor enforc: the law strictly he may expect to make enemies of some of the ‘baser sort,’ but at the same time he will win the gratitude and respeot of the many law-abiding people. There is a corstant and increasing demand for a strict, falr and impartial enforce- ment of the law in our city. It this de- mand 18 not met by the city authorities there will very ilkely be a strong and in- fluential movement towards a city elec- tion In the spring. The present admin- Istration has made some improvement over the past, but there s yet room for still larger improvement." Labor Temple Organization. Members of the local labor unions mean business In regard to the erection of a temple to be used by the labor organizations alone. With this end in view a permanent committee was appointed a week or so ago and now this committee has organized and incorporated. At a meeting held in the ofice of City Prosecutor Murphy Friday night the detalls were agreed upon. The caplital stock will be $75,000 and shares will be s0ld at $1 each. It Is expected that the great corporations here will assist in the movement by the purchas of good-sized blocks of stock. The articles provide that when one-third of the capital stock is pald in a site may be purchased and work com- menced on the bullding. These are the officers: John Salmon, president; Ed Co- penbacve, secretary; John C. Dingman, treasurer Jorgenson's Saloon Closed. The saloon of T. Jorgenson on Twenty- fourth street was closed tight yesterday while other places where liquor 18 sold were allowed to keep the side or bulak doors open. In order to explain to his customers why he was not dispensing vinuous liquors Jorgenson displayed in his window two plac- ards.

The Youngster is on the Klondike Limited und Rates Are High. The old query as to whether or not you would like to be the iceman will be rapldly forgotten, says the Chicago Tribune, as soon as song writers and balladists learn abont the train boy in Alaska. There is a train boy In Alaska. Just ome. Or rather there was a few weeks ago, but by this time he may be somewhere in the Mediterranean on his private yacht blowing rings from his 50-cent cigars and swearing at his $5,000-a- year salling master because ho cannot whistle up & breeze, Think of being the only train boy on a raliroad that brings miners with thousands and thousands of dollars' worth of gold out of the greatest mining camp in the world. There is only one railroad to Alaska —that is the White Pass & Yukon railroad. On that railroad there-4s a train called the Klondike Limited. ¢ The Klondike Limited! ‘Isn’t the sound of that name enough to make a common candy butcher on the run between Peoria and Lafayette, Ind., sfick his head into his basket of salted peanuts and strangle him- | self to death? For there s a traln boy on the Klondike Limited. On the Klondike Limited, that brings prospectors and miners and adventurers welghted down with golden nuggets back to the states and civiliza- tion, and the girls they left behind them, there is a candy butcher. And all these prospectors and miners and adventurers on this Klondike Limited are bubbling over with joy that the days of their exile are over and that soon they will be back to their boyhood homes again. Think of turn- ing loose a candy butcher in such a crowd as that. To quote another popular song, “It seems like a shame to take the money." The trainboy on the Klondike Limited, lke bis brothers on the Kenosha local, deals in peanuts, candy, books, papers and magazines. But more than that, he sells shirts and collars and bright red neckties. He also has a full line of whiskeys and plug tobacco and clgars of the finest cab- bage selected leaf. The trainboy does not like to sell cigars. He only gets 50 cents aplece for them and they cost him 75 cents a hundred. He sells the cigars to show he's a good fellow. He didn't originally dcal in shirts and haberdashery, but he found that the miners returning to civili- zation yearn madly for a ‘“biled” shirt. Sc after he had sold the shirt off his back, together with his collar and red necktie for $100, he declded to carry a stock of shirts and ties. There are stringent restrictions in Alaska in regard to selling whisky and so the trainboy doesn’t sell it. He gives It away and lets the man who drinks it tip him for his trouble in pulling the cork. If the man were to give him a nugget any smaller than the size of tha cork the trainboy would haughtily refuse to let him buy any more cigars and would charge him at least $5 for & two months’ old newspaper, which he ordinarily gives away for only $1.50. Then the trainboy sells playlng cards and the passengers are always wanting & game. He puts up the table, too, hands around the matches and, of course, a large and substantial “kitty” is maintained on one side of the table for the sole support of the obllging trainboy. If anybody was to put a quarter or a silver half dollar into the “kitty" the trainboy wouldn't be angry. He uses those things to pay store- keepers for fresh goods for his next run. A Seattle newspaper man interviewed the tralnboy on the last trip from Alaska. Quoth the trainboy: “Am I it? Am I? Say, ain't T a naughty boy? 1 know it's wrong to take the money, but I need it in my business and, bestdes, as soon as I get enough I'll buy the rallroad and give scme other good, deserving boy a chance to fasten onto a little honest money. But $1 for a sack of peanuts! Say, that's penitentiary offense in Illinois. But I need the money.” Do you want a stenographer? cents for a Bee “‘want ad.

The few cattla that did_arrive today were mostly consigned direct to packers. The receipts the past week have been the lightest on record for some time past, but that Is, of course, accounted for by tho fact that people usually avold shipping around a Nollday. In view of the lght recelpts the tendency of prices has been upward on all class: cattle. Corn- fed steers ate probably 10Gi5e higher than they were at the close of last week. Cholce handy welght cattle are tho best sellers and command the greatest prem high urica of the ‘week was $5 was paid on-Friday for a cholce cattle of medium welght he half-fat and common stuff 18 sell.ng very little, If any, better than it was a week ago, as' packers never can tell how that class of caltle are BOINg to kil out ced consequently they do not want them unless they can get them at a very low figire. The light supply of cows and helfers has had u tendency to advance prices, the same as was the ~ase with the steer market. Tt i safe to say that all classes, both good and bad, are selling 10@l5c higher than ° they ugo. Kers seemed to a few cows and owing to the light receipts they had to pay for what they got The feeder trade has not been particu. larly brisk this week, but owlng to the very light supply sold a little stronger. ~Cholce fecders of good welght command very satisfactory prices, but the light, trashy sttuff is hard 1o move, a8 country want that class of catt’ Stock cows and heifers have not been in good demand and rices have not picked up as much on eeder Bleers. Stock calves are about as slow sale as they have boen of lato and auotations are not much different. The proportion of western grass cattle included in the receipts 1s growlng smaller each week and very few cholce cattle are arriving.

There it 18 everything was sold in was very little change fn the market from start to finish, though there may have been a weak uf!ol at one time, when qu a few hogs sold at $460. The close, how ever, was good and strong. There has Leen a good supply of hogs here all the week, taklng everything info consideration, though hardly as many as arrived on the market the preceding week The demand has been in good shape, but nt the same time the tendency of prices was downward. The week started in with the A\‘erng» cost at $4.57% and kept golng down until Saturday, when the market averaged about $4.62, or practically 25c lower.

Weth- ers and yearlings brought as hlgll as $4.12%, but they sold largely around $4.00, and some at $4.06.

The demand for good wethers 1s equal to the supply, and prices are fully steady.
