OMAHA GETS A NEW BUSINESS.
The ISinsman-McCIoud LAW Book
Cnninn ny.

Omaha has within the last two years added
to its commercial trade a distinctivey new
business, being that Of 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 1913 Farnam street. He was for
many years the general agent here for the
Bancroft-Whitney company, law book pub
fishers, OF San Francisco, and had built up q
large trade for that company in the territory
OF which Omaha Is the commercial center
After large experience in his line in this
and other localities, Mr.. Kinsman saw the
possibilities Of 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 law book establishment here, the first
OF that character ever opened in Omaha In
April, 1894, Mr. |. l.. McCoud OF Omaha
associated himself with Mr.. Kinsman, and
the business since that time has been car
red 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, Iowa, 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 $50 000 and organ
iZing under the name of ''The Kinsman-Mc-
Cloud Law Book company" The general
nature of the business to be transacted as
SCI lOihh III JHe OI Incorporation, VIII
be the publishing, purchasing, selling or ex-
changing either at wholesale or retail law
books. law periodical and law supplies of all
kinds. Every law book published will be
Tor sale by the new company, and It will
keep in stock, as Heretofore, a general line of
new and secondhand law books.
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 appreciate 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
or the Mississippi river are beginning to
look to Omaha for their law books, as others
have and do come here for other commodities.

]. A. Murphy, living at 413 Eighth street

MINNEAPOLIS MAN BUYS IT
Morse Stock Of Dry Goods Sold at Auction
Yesterday.
LIVELY COMPETITION FOR THE PROPERTY
Successful Bidder May Open Large
Department store In This city
How the Creditors
g.. VIII Fnre.

The sale OF the stock OF goods OF the
Morse Dry Goods company took place at
noon in the court room OF Judge Ambrose
in The Bee building. Besides 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. Jameson, S45, 5,000 Boston Store,
S36, 454; s. Z. Olsen OF Minneapolis, $53, $50
for the goods and 500 for the fixtures; Hay
den Bros, $3S 800 The bids were then
raised the Boston Store offering s53,750 for
the goods and fixtures. Then s. L. Olsen bid
$54, $50, and buyers commenced figuring
again on prospective profits. After a few
moments Of conference among the buyers,
bidding was resumed and Hayden Bros. sue
cessively pushed UP the figure until s. e..
Olsen bought the stock for $5S 900 including
the fixtures.
The further disposition OF the matter was
deferred until o'clock, which time the court
set 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 receiver will have to attend to the
collection of the accounts, but this sale takes
pro rata share would fall to the creditors,
Mr.. Koch said he was unable to determine.
What added interest to the sale was the
expectation that in the event Mr.. Olsen Sc
cured the stock, he would at once open up at
Morses old stand large department store,
similar to the big Minneapolis establishment
he now owns.
Judge Ambrose. speaking OF the sale, ex-
pressed satisfaction over the outcome, stating
that 1t would, in his judgment be the means
of bringing much foreign capital to the city,
inasmuch as Mr.. Olsen is understood to be
backed by the large eastern firm Of Clafin
G. 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 def
nitely decided upon locating here, but would
make up his mind shortly. 1t is confidently
believed that the purchase means the estab-
lishment of large and progressive establish
ment in Omaha, however.
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. 1t was
finally agreed that $33, 900 of the money
should 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
to 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 $4,000
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,

WILL NOT RAISE THE RATES,
During Fair Week Hotel Men VIII
Not Rob Their Patrons,

The rumor that has been circulated 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 fact that regular prices would be
charged in every case, and though 1t was ex.
pected that the larger hotels would be DIVIDED
during the exposition, every effort would be
made to give the visitors good accommoda-
tons.
Most Of the people who intend seeing the
fair, 1t is said, will probably remain but one
day or two, and some but few hours, so
that the bulk Of the people will not be in the
city at any one time. In this way much
larger number of patrons of the hotels can be
taken care of and better service given. Hotel
accommodations for the fair VIII not be lack
ing and the landlords state that they will
perform their part without any attempt to

SWUNG OUT THE HUGE STAR.
City Hall Being Decorated for State
Enir Week.

The main entrance to the city hall was
closed yesterday while City Electrician
Schurig 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 1t from
the roof was a difficult 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 1t 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
located 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.

Much Bctter Than During August of
Last Year.

On the Idaho division OF the Union Pacific
the August business shows a healthy increase
over that OF the same month Of last year.
II is one Of the encouraging features along the
line OF the Overland The loads originating
ON the division during the month we're LIS
as. against 1,1S7 for the same month last
year. The through loads were 1,130, against
1,5O5 for last year. The total business for
the month was 2,S45 cars, against 2,692 for
last year.
While the through business OF the road
has not increased over last years showing
the local business shows healthy improve
ment. The California fruit business usually
forms a large part of the through business
curing the summer months, but this year 1t
has 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 shipned out Of the state.
