East Omaha Trains Again

East Omaha Trains Again Delayed.
The Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway
company will not commence to run trains
between here and the exposition before Sun
day at the earliest. Superintendent Nichols
stated yesterday that he hoped, however.
to have the service in running order by that
date. The track is all ready, but delay had
been caused by putting in some of the cross
ings which had not been figured on at first.
A temporary depot or platform has been
erected at the Omaha end of the line and by
Sunday a similar arrangement will, 1t is ex-
pected, be completed at this end. General
Manager Webster is preparing a time card
which will be published in a few days.

War Against AvariciOus Concerns.
The retail druggists of Council Bluffs have
been asked to join a boycott instituted by
the Iowa Pharmaceutical society against
certain patent medicines, on which the
manufacturers and proprietors have raised
the wholesale price in order to cover the
war tax. The charge is made that the man
ufacturers nave seized the opportunity to
convert the war tax into a source of rev.
enue to themselves by increasing the cost
of the article considerably more than the
tax amounts to.
At the recent meeting of the State Phar-
maceutical society the matter was brought
up for action and a set of resolutions were
prepared and forwarded to every retail
druggist in the state, the most pertinent
among them being the following:
Resolved, That We appeal to the fairness
or the manufacturers to reconsider their
action in advancing their prices, as a mat
ter of justice to the retail druggists of the
United States, believing the manufacturer
does not fully realize the many burdens
imposed upon the fraternity; yet we will
ingly assume our Just share of q. taxes,
but decline to assume those of the manu-
facturer, and we candidly and firmly agree
that to such manufacturers as will not rec
ogniZe this just claim we will decline ia
sell, offer for sale or display any article OF
their manufacture upon which they have
advanced their prices to the retailer be-
cause of the stamp tax. and to carry out
the purpose of this resolution the under
signed individually and collectively agree.
The boycott will not be made general
until rs per cent of the retail druggists in
the state agree to refuse to handle such
proprietary and patent medicines on which
the price has been raised since the war tax
went into effect.
All Of the retail druggists Of this city who
have been seen say they are in favor of the
movement. They would not object to share
part of the burden of the tax, but certainly
object to be called upon to stand 1t all.

Cattle Market Steady With
Little offered.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
Strong, in fact very strong. 1t was for
the most part duh day, but with firm
prices ruling. 1t was not bad day for
the closing day OF the week, either IN
amount Of business done, quality. or
strength Of the market. The receipts
were fairly good, though about 100 short
OF the Saturday previous They were
Slightly more than the receipts of FRIDAY
however. As TO quality it was on the
average quite good. There was Moth
ang especially choice and yet the three
Top loads were very good hogs % heavy
weight ana running even and plump well
seasoned hogs. Two of the top cars an
preached close to the 300 mark and the
average for the day was doomed I'D on
the Pa point, which was by considera BILE
the heaviest days average in a long time
IL was 20 pounds heavier than the Sat
ufday previous, and IA pounds better tnan
the day before. There was DAYS run
OF heavy hogs in yesterday and only one
load showed a really light record, ami
that large, well filed car of medium
4Sht hogs selling on the close at a good
h,lH price. There is usually a falling

There have been many Saturdays on the
local market as good as any day of tnes
Nceh, ana though yesterday was a fall

was no difference at all in the spirit of the
trading so long as hogs lasted. The de-
inand Tor good fat hogs was as strong
as ever or any day in the week. All par
ties connected with the daily affairs of
the Union yards were on hand, ami the
ouylng element Just as eager for nogs
ana all remained until late hour for
any possible late arrivals. 1t has been
d good week in every way, the markets
each day being in the best of condition
1or the sellers, and high as compared
with any other western market. There
mas been a well founded disappointment
because of the insufficient supply Of hogs.

very satisfactory week for shippers and

SHOT HIMSELF ACCIOENTLY
Stewart Experiments With a Re
yoIyer aud Ii Goes on

A rather peculiar accidental shooting
took place early Friday morning in the
barn OF ]. z. Howard on Douglas ave
nue.. Night Policeman Stewart had drop
ped into the Office OF the barn and while
talking with the boys employed there
took out his new 45-calfbre revolver to
show the men in the office He having
just purchased I; the day before. Ed
Stewart. who drives a hack for j. f.
~ 1rd, reached for the revolver. saying
81 ed to carry one like that for FIVE
years and I can give you a few pointers
on how 10 use it." He took the gun and
twirled it around two or three times when
the hammer caught in his coat and snap
ped the shell. The bullet went through mis-
shoulder and continued on it's way plow-
ing through a wardrobe and several buffl
alo robes. When 1t was found il was
fattened out nearly as large as a quarter
of a dollar. When Stewart was hit he
fell to the floor, a physician was sum
moned and his wound was dressed and he
