CUT RATES ON HARD COAL
Fieht IN Over and Price VIII Ba
Restored Within IA Very short
Time. D

The economical householder, like the sa-
gacious coal dealer, should take advantage
of the present price of coal and lay in his
winters supply, as within the next ten days
an advance of at least 81 on the ton win
be made. The fight between the big oper-,
ators in the coal fields was declared Off
Sunday and the prices cut during the fight
will resume their old marks.
Before the fight the price per ton was
$3.50; it is now $3.50. Through an error iu
judgment as to the duration of the fight
Omaha coal dealers cut the price to tho
present figures. The cut was made Friday,
two days before peace was declared between
the operators. One Of the dealers admitted
yesterday that had they thought that the
fight was so near over they would not have
reduced the price a cent, out of tho hf-
teen local dealers about FIVE took advantage
of the cut prices and laid in their winters
supply.

GOODIES FOR THE GUARDS
Ton of All Sorts of Camp Comforts
Sent the Omnltn Boys Mt
CIlicEnmauSa. z

When Major Wilcox conceived the idea
of sending some delicacies and other sup
plies to the Omaha Guards in camp at
Chickamauga he expected that "A box or two
of supplies would be contributed, but gifts
exceeded all expectations and more thar
1000 pounds of medicine, provisions, to-
baccos, preserves, cakes, hammocks, maga-
zines and everything imaginable that wouId'
contribute to the comforts of camp lifoi
were packed and prepared to be expressed
to Chickamauga today. All the packing
houses in South Omaha made contributions
of canned goods; the Omaha wholesale gro
ceries donated tobacco, pipes, lime juice and
other supplies; the wholesale drug houses
gave medicines which are needed most in
the field, and individuals contributed pack
ages for the use of the company and GER
tain members of the company. The work
of caring for the donations was done en-
tirely by Major Wilcox and he expressed
the goods to Chickamauga at his own ex-
pense. The consignment will reach Chick
amauga on Saturday and will be distrib-
uted so that the boys will live in luxury on

loans. From these conditions Il is readily
understood how heavy Withdrawals, re-
ceiverships and n consequent decrease In
the assets OF these associations followed:
The tendency OF the year has been to
lower rates OF interest. Money has been
accommodating in vast sums, not only in
building associations, but in all other
financial institutions, and the demand for
loans has been remarkably light. The
question Of how TO adv%antageously dispose
OF and invest these accumulative funds has
been a serious problem with many associ-
atoms and one which some have not yet
been able to solve TO their entire satisfac-
ton. Rates OF interest on desirable loans
have OF necessity been lowered for the in
vestment Of these surplus funds, and a
reduction in the rate per cent OF dividend
is sure to follow.
The following are the figures for the sew
eral states, showing the number OF local
associations, membership, assets, ETC.:

DELAY IN POLICE SERVICE
Making McGrnth Chief of Detectives
Already Results in Confusion
and n start for Thieves.

The new order OF the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners by which the detect
i've force has been taken from the charge
of police captains and placed under q chief
of detectives is already working to the
further confusion and inefiiciency of the
police department. The order posted at the
city jail directs that the thirteen detectives
hereafter report to Sergeant McGrath, who
shall have entire authority over them az
chief and that they be responsible to no one
else. The police captains under the order
have no power to detail assignments to men
on detective duty, no matter what emer-
gency may arise. AS 1t is impossible for
the chief of detectives to be on duty con-
tinuously there is a considerable portion of
time each t~wenty-four hours when the de-
~tectives are absolutely without q working
head. If citizens who have need of u de-
%tective notify the central station of the
fact the chief of that department must first
be located and orders transmitted through
him to the men.
A victim last night of this delay and con-
fused authority at the central station was
Willis M. Ward, u dealer in extracts, who
lives at 22O7 Douglas street. Mr.. Wards
house was robbed some time yesterday
morning, and in the afternoon he notified
the police station of the theft, which
amounted to $50 in money, a railroad ticket
and a quantity of other property of value.
No progress was made in the case and last
night Mr.. Ward was led to suspect that the
robbery had been committed by a young
man who had access to the house.
Mr.. Ward says he notified the police sta
ton that he desired to have n detective in
vestigate the affair at once in order to an
ticipate the thief's possible departure. H
was unable, however, to get connection with
the chief of detectives, to whom he was
told the matter must necessarily be re-
ferred, and finally urged the night captain
to detail a detective to the work, as quick
lection = as necessary. Mr.. Ward says the
captain explained to him that the detective
department was out of his jurisdiction and
that he could only send a uniformed police.
man unless the chief Of detectives should
happen to make his appearance. A patrol.
man could be of no use to Mr.. Ward undeI
the circumstances and he was Obliged tc
await the arrival of the chief of detectives
some time later. In the meantime valuable
time had been lost and no results have beer
accomplished.

HORTICULTURE AS A SCIENCE
Nebraska and Iowa Men Discuss the
Practical Workings of
Their Vocation.

The horticulturists of Nebraska and
southwestern Iowa finished their convention
yesterday. Many of the members were
at the exposition grounds and some of those
who were to have papers on horticultural
topics did not put in appearance and as n
result the program of both morning and
afternoon was very comfortably condensed
into the one session. The subject of ever
greens left over from Tuesday was discussed
and papers read by j. p. Dunlap of Dwight,

After each had finished reading his paper
the other members asked questions and dis
cussed the various ways of raising and cul-
tivating the fruit in question. A committee
of three members was appointed to decide
on another union meeting of the two asso-
Citations during the winter. This committee

What Made Them Rich.

While the South Dakota newspaper men
made money in early days it was not by
publishing news, but instead by publishing
notices of final proof. At the time of their
location all Of the land extending from the
Sioux TO the Missouri river and from the
British line TO near the south boundary OF
the territory was subject to pre-emption en-
try. In 1880 settlers moved in at a rapid
rate. The law was such that at the end of
a six months residence they could commute
and secure title by proving this residence
and paying the government at the rate OF
sl.25 per acre. Most of the settlers were
DESTROYS of securing title at the earliest
possible date, that they might afterward Sc
cure a homestead. which then required a
five years residence. Before committing
upon the pre-emption the settler was re-
CURED to give notice of his intention to
make final proof. This notice, under the
rules and the regulations of the United
States land office, had to be published for
a period Of four weeks in the newspaper
nearest the land. When proofs commenced
