The Omaha Trade Exhibit gives timely
advice to merchants about getting in
debt as follows: 1T has been truthfully
said that Debt is a mire without a
boundary. If more business men would
put that down as good maxim to re-
member there would be fewer business
failures. The great trouble is that when
times are prosperous like the present a
great many men are carried Off their
feet and get entirely too visionary. A
man was heard of the other day who
wanted to take the money he had ,made
in his business and go into real estate
scheme which would require nothing
less than big boom to make it sue

The wlse-Young Contest.

Judge D. Tucker Brooke has returned
from Washington. where he argued the
case of Congressman w. a. Young be-
fore the Elections Committee in the
Young-Wise contest. a report is looked
for in the case within the next two
weeks.
Judge Brooke thinks Mr. Young's
case is much stronger than his previous
contest. The committee is composed of
six Republicans and three Democrats,
but Judge Brooke Is hopeful of having
the minority report signed by one of
the Republicans. This would make the
seating of Mr.. Young certain, it is
thought. The Democrats on the COM
mittee are Judge Burke, of Texas Mr..
McLain and Mr.. Miers. of Indiana.
One OF the Republicans, Mr.. Weeks, of
Michigan, is thought to be more favor
able to Mr.. Young than the others,
and there is a probability that he may
sign the minority report, which the
three Democrats will sign. The minor
ity report will be presented by Judge
Burke. of Texas and he will speak on
it in the House
The committee accorded Judge
Brooke and Mr.. MISC a long hearing.

W. A. Pond, an insurance agent. was
arrested yesterday morning on n war
rant sworn out by ~ B. Titus. an en-
9loyee of Armour e Co.. and to-mor-
row morning in the Police Court will
tell how pistol came to go off near
Titus head, In the dead of night The
two men have been rooming together
at No 63 Falkland street. Titus had a
pistol and kept it on the mantelpiece
Pond was out late Friday night and his
room mate was sleeping when he came
IN The report of Il pistol awakened
him, but when he looked up he couldn't
tell whether a spooll or human being
had fired 1t. In his state of mind, the
chances seemed in favor of n spook,
doubtless, since there was no human
being in sight. He found his pistol
gone from the mantelpiece, and when
he found out that Pond had returned
he formed a suspicion that his room
mate had done the firing. The pistol
was loaded with blank cartridges.
There was no trouble between the two
men, so far as known. but Titus had
Pond arrested. The latter is said to
have been drinking. He says the pls-
tol was knocked from the mantel acct
dentally thus causing the discharge.
