Two years iater Ne- ka was sectionized, the meander line of the river it then ran was traced and ithe state's eastern boundary fixed. During those two years the whimsical old river had Deen shifting itself, and the result was that the two lines overlapped each other by a quarter to a half a mile. In the survey next week I shall seek the course equi-distant from each line and report that as the cor- rect boundary line. This line will be so far east of the river's present channel that 1t will leave between one and two square miles of Nebraska territory on the east or Towa side of the river. Such a condition Is & bad one, as shown last summer when the man wanted by the lowa officers escaped them because on this Nebraska soll. May Trade La “‘As 1 understand it, the plan will be to #ive Towa this strip in exchange for the East Omaha section of one square mile ‘which is now held to be Iowa land, although ‘on the Nebraska side of the river. This Jatter complication is but another result of the river's habit of shifting positions. "The surveys of January, 1876, July, 1876, and January, 1877, recorded on a map in the eity engineer’s office, show how the stream kept narrowing the neck of the lowa peninsula that jutted into Nebraska until on October 14, 1877, in less than twenty- four hours, It cut across that neck, one- half mile wide, and took the straighter course, leaving the Iowa peninsula on the Nebraska side, with Cut Off lake partly surrounding it In the river's old bed. ““Thus, if Nebraska and Jowa can make the swap, each will get territory on it own side of the river and lowa Is agree: able, T understand. Our county commis. wioners are also willing and I believe it is futended to have a bill introduced at the coming legislature. Whether an act of congress also will be necessary I do not know," ATTORNEY IN. A COLLISION Gets Bad Eye. ‘The south wall of the Young Men's Chris- tian association gymnasium room sued out an attachment covering the entire right eye of Jemes H. Adams, assistant city attorney, Monday, and r. Adams was spending yesterday at his home for reasons which anybody whogias ever been similarly disfigured will readily understand. * The attorney had just started forcible entry and detainer proceedings against his opponent in a game of indoor base ball, which is his noon exercise, when the de- fendant took a change of venue and per- mitted Adams to go on to a colliding point. <He collided. He collided good and plenty. Old settlers say there never has been a better plece.of colliding done in the his- tory of the state. Ten minutes later Mr. Adams' eye was radiantly rosy. An hour later it was billously blue. Yesterday it was deliriously and distressingly black. Mr. Adams declined to make prediction as to what it will l.ok like this morning.

This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many baid heads. It can be cured if It is gone about in the right way.. The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ.

Bome of the clerks.in the railroad head- quarters of Omaha are anxious to join In the movement for higher wages which has swept into the clerieal departments of the | Santa Fe and Rock Island and other roads. No positive steps have yet been taken by Omaha clerks toward presenting demands, but it has been quietly rumored that if a leader of sufficient nerve could be found matters might reach & head. Pressure has been brought to bear upon some of the Omaha clerks by clerks in other cities who have actually formed a systematic plan for demanding a raise in their pay. The move- ment centers in Chicago. It is merely an extension of the general movement among the trainmen throughout the eountry for more pay, based upon the broad proposition that wages are not commensurate with the cost of living, the latter having materially advanced while the former remains sta- Surveyor Edquist | tionary. Some inquiry has been made as to the standard of wages here and it is learned that while there has been no actual de- cline for some time, there has been no advancement of a general nature, The clerks complain, at les a few of them who have expressed themselves, that they need more money in view of the cost of Nving, which has increased so tremendously un the past few years. When President Burt became president of the Union Pa- cific, it is sald, there was a general cut in clerk’s hire, but there has beeg no appre- ciable reductions since. This' cut came during what commonly has been lled the panic, however, and the clerks claim that in times of such unprecedented prosperity as this, they ought not have to work for panic wages. TEN MEN FOR EACH PLACE Republican Senators tives of Doug! sider Representa- The republican senators and representa- tives from Douglas county held a meeting Monday night at the office of M. A. Hall There were present a majority of the mem- bers from the city and the time was chiefly taken up with a consideration of the distribution of patronage. It developed that there were about forty applicants for each position and the applicants are not all satisfactory to all of the members. The process of elimination began by the presentation of the names to be submitted by each member. As these names were presented other members offered objection to appointment, giving reasons, with the result that when the last name was read the list had dwindled until there were only about ten applicants for each office. At this point it was suggested by one member that a number of places which kave heretofore been filled by the members from Douglas county eoculd be abolished Several favored the plan, but the places to be abolished could not be settled upon 80 easily. It was sald that no appoint- ments were finally decided upon, but that the matter was paseed to a future meeting. W. T. Nelson, who had so far forgotten himself as to express an opinion not cen- sored by the majority of the delegation as to the report from Central City regarding the position of the Douglas county delega- alon on the spe: hip, was brought upon the floor and given some advice upon the evil results which would follow his failure to observe the rule of the delegation In regard to silence upon subjects which may be suggested by reporters or. others not entitled under th rule to know what is going on. IS HELD AGAIN FOR FORGERY Third Case Against Thomas Comes Up in 1 Court, Thomas Moss was bound over to the dis- trict court n yesterday from the police court on & charge of having uttered a forged check. The complainant in this case was Saloonist Welsner, 1301 Webster street. Mr. Welsner was placed on the stand and swore that he had eashed the worthless check for Moss, who had en- dorsed it in the presence of the saloon keeper and the bartender as ““George Sut- ton,” and claimed that he was in the em- ploy ot Eastbrook & Co., upon whose ac- count the check was drawn. He positively identified Moss as the person who tendered him the check ard who endorsed it. Judge Berka bound the prisoner over to the dis- trict court under $600 bonds. This is the third time that Moss has been bound over to the higher court for passing or uttering worthless paper.

At 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon there will be & meeoting in the Stock exchange room on the second floor of the Board of Trade building. at which the fate of the propo- sition will be definitely decided. Pre- liminary canvassing among those who will be immediately involved In the project d! covers an unanimity of opinion in the mat- ter that scarcely admits of failure. It is expected that the meeting will be large and enthusiastic. Twenty-five and perhaps thirty graln men will be present. That Is more than the number which par- ticipated in the launching of Kansas City's grain market four years ago, the institu- tion which has proven so successful since. In addition, any outsiders interested in the matter and in Omaha' welfare will be welcomed. i Nine years ago Omaha had such a market and for a time a good business was done. But it was just In time to catch the crop faflures of 1893 and subsequent yeas and when more than half the grain men in the city went out of business the exchange, 0o, went up the flume. Since then one effort has been made to revive the exchange. This was in 1898. The necessary support was not forthcoming and the prosent at- tempt will be the second. From the bottom up all the Interests in- volved in the ownership of the grain are for the market. The farmers want it, the brokers want it and the elevator men want it. Sald Bd P. Peck, a prominent member of the latter class: “There is a better chance for this thing in Omaha now than ever before. We have far more graln men In the city than we | ever had. I am heartily in favor of the scheme and. shall do all I can at the meet- ing to advance it.” What the Grain M ‘Want, Most of the grain men favor having the new market an independent affair, a thing apart from the Board of Trade. A charter is considered necessary. The one which was held by the former organization of 1893 may be renewed. It is proposed to have a session of at least two hours each day, from 12 o'clock till 2 in the afternoon. It is sald that all the grain men in the city will gladly par- ticlpate and take out memberships, and considerable business is prophesied. The business done by the grain inspector and weigher here, Mr. Huyl, during the last year is one thing that makes the grain men confident of the success of a market. Some 6,000 cars of grain have been handled, Two features of this weighing and in- spectiLg have elready attracted the notice of grain men the country over. One is that it i rellable, the other that it is cheap. It costs but 40 cents to have a car of grain treated here. In Kansas City it costs $1. The work here is at least as good and graln men are beginning to appreciate the difference. Just a few days ago twenty cars of grain were ordered weighed here instead of at. Kansas City, because there saving of $12 on the job and because well done to boot. The brokers are confident that if the market is started here this work will be accepted as standard in any market in the world It is pointed out that the market will mean a considerable Increase of business in Omaba. Bank clearings will be swelled greatly, as all the drafts for payment will of course be made on Omaha. Then, al- though there may not be a vast amount of buying and selling at the start, it is be- lleved that this will come in time, and with it the necessary new warehouses and elevators. Have a Care.

GRAIN MARKET FOR OMAHA |DOCKETS FOR_THE NEW YEAR Business at This Point. ) Judmes of the District Court Probably Will Retaln Their Present Assignments, l 1t 1s assumed that Judge Faweett will re- turn from hic Oregon mines today and that the seven judges of the district court will get togéther Thursday morning to as- sign the dockets for the year 1903. Beyond some discussion of the propriety of having | one less equity julge and one more law Judge the apportionment has been little dis- cussed and the gencral impression seems to be that the lineup will remain as it is, with Judge Baxter in the criminal court, Judges Fawcett, Slabaugh and Estelle in the other law courts and Judges Read, Day and Dick- inson in the equity courts. Judge Read stated this morning that equity work was well caught up, but that he did not know ot any common Intent to decrease the equity force to stremgthen numerically the law corps. There has been discussion of a plan to more rigidly exclude from inside the rail- ing all those persons not interested in the case being tried. It is complained that lawyers and more particularly court spec- tators have acquired the habit of usurping chairs and space at the counsel tables to the inconvenience of those who should be there, and the propriety of more stringent regulations 18 generally conceded, but the Judges seem Inclined to the opinion that each should regulate such matters in his | court to sult himself and the bench not make a special rule for all. CARS TO RUN AN HOUR LATER Street Railway Company to Accom- modate Those Who Welcome the New Year, The fat man with the weak heart, the fair dame with the slippery shoes and all other persons who dislike to run to catch cars will kindly bear in mind that the cars will be running an hour later than ordi- narily on all '8 Wednesday night. This arrangement has been made for the convenience of those people who will go to some one's else house to absorb heat, fudges and fair society on a pretext of de- siring to “welcome the new year.” It is not recorded that any new year ever looked different ‘from any old year, but the wel- coming has to pe done just the same, elso January 1 would discover folks awaking without headaches, stomach- aches and those other regular provocations for “turning over the new leaf,” Ing oft,” and ‘‘determining to be good.”” The street car company has somehow found out about this and planned to help it along.
