GAMBLING ON THE FAN.
New Device thnt Has Taken Posses
siOn of SpecuInIiNe MnshInrinn.

There is a new form Of gambling much af-
fected in clubs and barrooms nowadays that
even the board of trade will find it hard to
put a stop to, says the Washington Post
Every one is familiar with the electric fans
which, in the past few years, have proven
such a boon in torrid weather. They are
shaped like a propeller. and have four. FIVE
or six blades, and are incased in wire cages
with large apertures. By touching a lever at
the back the machine can be started or
stopped at will, and while in motion the We
loclty Is something tremendous.
Some wide-aWake genius not long ago con-
ceived the idea that the electric fan could
be utilized as an excellent means Of wooing
the goddess fortune, and put the suggestion
into operation in this wise: A six-bladed fan
was stopped and each of its blades marked
with a number Then six slips of paper were
marked with similar numbers and six Jolly
fellows drew a slip apiece. The number on
the slip correspOnded to the number on one
Of the blades and it was decided that the
blade that was nearest the perpendicular wire
at the bottom Of the cage covering the fan
when the latter stopped revolving should win
the pot, The latter consisted CT Sc, put up
equally by the half dozen players.
Then the fun began. The lever would be
turned on and as quickly on. and the fan
would revolve like lightning, slow
do.wn and stop in half a minute. There
was no kitty TO be fed, as in poker;
no percentage Of split as in faro, and no rake
of for the house. as in other games. It was
a pure luck affair and the heaviest loser
was not more than s. out at the end of an
hours whirling, while the excitement had
been as intense as the most devoted gambler
could desire. Next day each one OF the six
introduced the electric fan 10 his friends
In Its new guise as a spinning jenny and now
the game has spread all over town. The in-
terest In II is heightened a good deal by hav-
ing a blank blade which. when II stops at the
winning wire. constitutes a Jack pot and ne
GeSSltdtes the DlayeTS nIIttinQ I'M an
stake. Just as in poker. So from 81 ante in
brokers offices to whirling for coppers by
district messengers the electric fan is being
brought into requisition with general hilarity.

Ing advance on dressed beef. For a time
the market went up at a rapid pace, but
the action OF the secretary Of agriculture
In institutlng an investigation as to the
halt. Consumers appeared to realize for
the first time that they were paying high
prices and they ceased buying beef. The
result was a demoralized market for some
time. Prices did not go 20 much lower,
but the demand fell on to such a degree
that no one seemd to want fat cattle. Since
that time the demand has revived some
what and prices are about as high as ever
on the choice cuts of prime beef. The
supply Of choice fat steers u very light. Al
South Omaha there are days at a time
when not a single choice load of fat steers
Is to be found in the yards. There is any
quantity of low grade meat TO be had. and
at reasonable prices. There is no relief
from present prices in sight and the pros
poets are now that consumers will have TO
walt for cattle to become more plentiful
before they can expect to secure choice beef
at the low prices of "A wear ago.

What is supposed to be the only ~frostless
belt In the United States. says the New York
Post, lies between the city of Los Angeles
and the Pacific ocean. II traverses the foot
hills OF the Cahuenga range and has an eleya-
ton OF between 200 and 400 feet. In breadth
II is perhaps three miles. The waters of the
Pacific are visible from Il and the proximity
OF the ocean has of course something TO DO
with banishing frosts. During the winter
season this tract produces tomatoes, peas.
beans aad other tender vegetables, and here
tbs lemon nourishes, 4 tree that is peculiarly
susceptible TO cold. Tropical trees may also
be cultivated with success. and In connection
with this fact II is interesting TO know thai
a part OF the fayorite territory has been
acquired by Los Angeles for park purposes.
and Il Is only a question Of time when the
city will have the unique distinction Of
possessing the only tropical park In the
United States. Strange ~ say, only the mid
way region OF the Cahuenga range is free
occasionally visited.

WITH THE LOCAL RETAIL TRADE.
Wall ape Men Interested I'm the
Atanu rf .La r~,.

The midsummer quiet continues to hold
the retail trade of the city within It's grasp.
The generality of the reports received
from merchants agree that the volume of
business Is light, with here and there a lit
tie squirt Of trade to relieve the monotony.
The retail merchants of the city who
handle wall paper are considerably inter-
ested In the reported action of the so-called
wall paper trust. Advices have been re-
ceived during the past few days TO the
enect that the wall paper trust had de
cided TO do AWAY with It's rebate system
which has been in effect for SOM time.
The rebate has been in the form of a re
duction of 20 per cent on the bills of deal
ers that handle only such goods as are
produced by the factories operated by the
trust. During the first year the amount of
the rebate was only 10 per cent. but It was
which point IL has remained until the pres
ent time.
II is said that the cause of the abandon
nsnt Of the rebate by the trust is that deal
ers could not, by that means, be induced
TO deal exclusively with the trust. What
effect this action Will have upon prices is
a matter difficult TO foretell. IL appears to
that this action is the commencement of a
fierce fght between the trust and outside
factories and In that case prices will be
apt to drop. The trust has a capital OF

Early In the season when the shortage
IN the beef supply of the country became
apparent there was "A sudden advance in
the prices on live cattle aud a correspond
Omaha daily bee., 1895-08-04

The receipts of cattle during the past
week have been liberal. showing a gain
over the corresponding week a year ago.
The large receipts at the present time are
due to the fact that the range cattle are
coming forward earlier than usual. West
ern Nebraska Is contributing the larger
share of the range cattle coming to market
at the present time. but. there have been
liberal shipments from Wyoming, Colorado
In spite of the break in the market,
which would have a tendency to reduce re-
ceipts, more hogs were received this week
than last. The receipts, for the correspond
ing week of last year, however, were more
than five times as great.
CATTLE-There were not enough fat
cattle here suitable for the dressed beef
trade to cut any figure in the market. The
general conditions governing the market
emain unchanged and prices are prac-
tically steady.
and heifers on sale. The demand was fair
and the bulk of the offerings were cleaned
up early. The prices paid were about the
stockers and feeders were in fair request
for a Saturday. and the fresh receipts
changed hands at about steady prices.
The market OF the past week has, in
many ways, been of a very satisfactory
character. The demand has been good and
steers have been In extremely light supply,
and on many days there have not been
enough in the Yards to make a test Of the
everything received, and is it safe to say
that prices are now 10920c higher. Cow
stun has constituted almost one-half of the
receipts. The demand, however. has been
good on every day of the week. and the
market active. Prices have gradually
strengthened until the market Is fully 151
20c higher than a week ago. In the stocker
and feeder division there has been great
activity. The demand for good feeders has
been large, and anything desirable in that
line has met with quick sale. Prices have
advanced l0a20c. and on the most desirable
grandes 25c. Representative sales:
