to Omaha and then the regular rate from
Omaha TO Chicago was added.
Another victory for Omaha may be found
in the decision that the rates between
Omaha points and Texas shall not be greater
than between the Mississippi river points
and Texas At present Omaha is placed on
the same basis as Chicago. although it is
several hundred miles nearer Texas. For in
stance. II the glucose for syrup is shipped
to Omaha from Peoria and Davenport the
regular rate is charged, Yet when the man
ufaclured syrup is sent to Texas the rate
from Omaha is about G cents a hundred
higher than from Peoria to Texas, although
Omaha Is 800 miles nearer.
Commissioner ut, however, is inclined to
reserve his opinion Of the benefit that omaha
will receive from the decision until the full
text Of the decision arrives.
Tho Texas case was filed with the Inter
state Commerce commission some eighteen
months ago. II was argued before the COM
m ssion in this city a year ago last May
about fifteen months ago.

COMMISSIONER UTTs OPINION.

Commissioner UT of the Commercial club
says that the telegram, incomplete as it is,
indicates decision in favor Of Omaha. From
the synopsis Of the decision he concludes
that the commission has determined that
the rates between Omaha and southwestern
and especially Texas points should be no
higher than those between Kansas City and
St. Joe and those points, just so long as
the rates between Kansas City and st. Joe
and the northwest and Omaha and the
northwest remain equal, the condition exist
ing at present.
This was the contention of the CONNER
cial club. II maintained that If Kansas City
got the same rates from the northwest as
Omaha the distance being 227 miles greater
then Omaha should certainly get no higher
rates to the southwest than Kansas City,
when the distance was 1870 miles greater.
As a matter OF fact the rates from Omaha
to the southwest on cattle, merchandise and
packing house, products are considerably
higher
According to Commissioner Utt's interpre-
tation of the synopsis of the decision Omaha
will also be given equal stopOyer privileges
with other Missouri points. In the past the
railroads have given through rate on cattle
from Texas points to Chicago allowing the
owners, however, to stop over in the markets
OF Kansas City and st. Louis 10 offer their
stock for sale and, if unsuccessful, to go on
to Chicago on the through rate Omaha had
no such privilege and no such rates II cat
tie was shipped through Omaha II could not
stop. II stopOyer was made the regular
rate had to be paid from the shipping point

ROCKER TRIAL BEGINS
A PLEA OF INSANITY ENTERED by
THE MURDERER's ATTORNEYS.
Jury Will Not BE Obtained Till To-
Day-Tbe Main Prosecuting Wit
ness I'm Court.

AlonZo Rocker, who murdered his wife by
cutting her throat, then attempted to kill
Emma PEGS, his wife's friend, and after
ward slashed IDS own throat with a razor,
is on trial for his life in the Criminal Court.
The details Of the killing Of Mrs. Rocker
in her own home. near the City Hospital,
Sept. 8, 1895, are well known to the reading
public. The case began yesterday morning,
but lits.4 progress was made during the
day. Rockers attorneys, Healing & Hugg
and Willie N Robertson. entered a special
plea Of insanity for their client, and the de-
Tense Is TO De conducted on that ground.
Rocker -as accompanied to the court room
by his father. an aged and broken man.
Father and son sat side by side during the
day. The accused man apparently took but
little interest in the proceedings. He is a
slender man of dark complexion, about thir-
ty-five years of age. He has keen, black
eyes and heavy dark mustache. He wore
a collar, which hid the ragged scar on his
neck, which he inflicted with his own hand.
Mrs. Emma Pees, who barely escaped
with her life. was in the court room all
day. She sat with her husband on the first
row. She is stylishly-dressed. attractive
looking woman. ageu about twenty-five
years. She wore gauze veil, which failed
to hide the deep cut extending across her
right cheek. Mrs. PEGS will be the prin-
cipal witness for the State.
AT O'CLOCK yesterday evening the jury
had not been selected. But five members
of the regular panel occupied the box, and
over half of the members of the special
venire of fifty had been called and dis
missed. The court officials do not think a
jury will be secured before noon to-day.
Joseph Hollingsworth, of Pike township.
was one of those called to the box in the
afternoon. Mr. Hollingsworth has lived in
Marion county for seventy-six years, and
has never served on jury. He was re-
jected. All of the men called were closely
nnp a
to their experience with insane persons.
They were asked If they had ever taken
special notice of persons afflicted with the
malady, and If they had ever visited the
poor farm or the insane hospital
The court room was crowded all day, but

WHEAT TOUCHED SOC
SOLD OFF A CENT FROM SATURDAY,
REGAINING ONLY ONE-EIGHTH.
Government Crop Report Was Bear
fsh. Resulting I'm Heavy Pounding
-ProvisiOns Firm and High.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Wheat ruled weak all
day, the small visible decrease and the
government crop report being powerful bear
ish factors and pounding the cereal down
nearly a cent from Saturdays close. Corn
and oats were both firm and active early
but easei off, while provisions opened strong
and remained so. making material gains.
The wheat market made weak start, ow-
ing mainly to the report of the government
showing the wheat crop to be 49,
COo,Ooo bushels, or much more than generally
expected. This caused pretty free selling by
holders and during the first hour the price
went off nc from Saturdays close Eut the
English cables quoted breadstuffs higher and
consols lower, leading TO the conclusion that
political matters abroad were still unset
tied. The fact that the new loan was ad-
vertised for was also some assurance that
financial matters were getting into better
shape. There was also a general belief that
the visible would show a large decrease and
the amount on ocean passage was $4,000
bushels less than a week ago. Several large
operators began to show a leaning to the
bull side and when this was discovered the
crowd also turned in that direction AMI the
price was quickly advanced sc from the
low point. But there was liberal selling at
the advance and the price started of some
and when it became known that the de-
crease in the visible was only 10000 BUSH
els instead of 100000 to 100000 bushels as
expected, the market became very heavy
and before noon had gone off fully &c. May
sold from 597sc early to 591ac up to 601sc,
then down to 59l4Q59ssc split. The market
continued to weaken during the last hour
the close Saturday. There was some reac-
ton, but it Jas not Important, May clos
ing at 59959isc.
Corn was strong, helped largely by the
fact that the government report Of the
crop was smaller, than had been generally
expected and there was not much disposi-
ton to sell short, while the covering was
more active than for some time. May old
early at 2Shc, advanced gradually to 2s@4c,
but eased off to 283sc. The market got quite
weak during the last hour and May sold
off to 2SAq2S3sc, split, and made practically
no recovery.
In oats shorts were buying freely. The
government report of the total crop of aats
for the year was S24, 600 bushels. The
general estimate was for about 900,O00,JOO to
925, 900 600 and firmnesS resulted. May opened
from 1870 to 1910. sold off to 10, up to
191bc back to 1880 and closed at 1915 4l9ssc.
Saturdays final quotation was 1910.
The provision market was active and
strong and wound up at about the best
prices Of the day.
Hogs-Receipts were decidedly below the
estimate and firm cables were factors.
Trade was more active than for many a
