POTATOES FLOOD THE MARKET
supply Exceeds the Demand and
Prices Go Rapidly Down
the Scale.

The price Of potatoes on the Omaha
market has been going down at a rapid rate
for the past few days and they can
no longer be clsssed as Injuries, as was
the case only a short time ago. On Mon
day of this week potatoes came rolling in
from all directions and ever since that time
the market has been flooded. The stock
that is now offered will keep only a short
time and for that reason dealers must find
an outlet or have them spoil on their hands.
1t is quite a problem, however, to find an
outlet, for reports from nearly all sections
of the country show that this is by no
means the only place where there are
more potatoes than immediate requirements
demand. Until a short time ago Omaha
wholesalers were shipping stock to the
north, but now that demand is hut of
and dealers have to content themselves
with cutting the price and by that means
increase home consumption.
There is no real market price now
that can be quoted, as people who have
potatoes to sell take most anything they can
get and as a result some astonishingly low
sales have been made. On Wednesday,
however, the wholesale market for good
stock was about IS cents per bushel.
The cause for the heavy receipts OF
the last few days is the exceptionally large
crop in all sections tributary to this mar
ket. Besides that Il is claimed that the
potatoes are rotting in the ground and
farmers are forced to dig them and send
them to market. 1t is expected, however,
that from this time on the trouble from that
source will decrease and that the market
will soon be in a normal condition.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-17

and the arrangement will be regarded as
closed.
II, on the other hand, the cardinal COM
mittee which is dealing with this i'm
portant matter, decides not to accept the
terms proffered or 1t Is not prepared to
make q final answer. the governor will still
proceed on his way and the negotiations
will be suspended. This decision on the
part Of Secretary Root probably is the
most important outcome Of his recent trip
to Oyster Bay, where the subject was dis
cussed with the president.
1t does not follow that Governor Taft's
resumption OF his journey without signing
the papers Of sale and withdrawal means
the absolute abandonment Of the n~egotia-
tlons on those points. Technically they
will be regarded as merely suspended and
30 open to resumption at any moment when
either Of the principals has change Of mind
sufficient to warrant a new proposition.
Meanwhile there will be no change of the
status Of the friar orders In the Philip
pines. Their lands will remain in the pos
session OF the insular government and the
several hundred friars who are tarryins
In Manila as charity charges upon otner
branches Of the church. probably will re-
main there or gradually find their way ia
another country.

FIND FIVE THOUSAND STAMPS
Detectives Believe They Have Part
of Booty of Chicago POST
ONCE Robbery.

CHICAGO, July 1e.-Five thousand
stamps, believed by detectives to have
been included in the $4,000 postofHce rob-
berry here last fall, have been found. This
FIRST clew to the disposition Of the i'm
mense booty secured comes today as a
sequel to the arrest of three members of
a family for alleged forgery. following an
attempt to cash a forged check on the
Corn Exchange National bank.
The stamps were discovered in a bureau
drawer at las North Clark street by two
detective sergeants. When one Of the men
was asked by a reporter today II he
thought the stamps a clew to the footing
Of the postofice stamp vault. he replied:
II DOM think so. / know It."
Three men and one woman are now being
kept either In cells or under surveilance
In connection with the forgery and the
clew to the stamp robbery, and detectives
are busy seeking facts. Those arrested
are: George Holmes, alias r. J. James
Mrs. Mary Holmes (nee Roltsch), who
saya she is the wife OF George Holiness
Claude Holmes. a brother OF George
Holmes, and John Hogan.

MOLDERs STILL WAITING
Details Of FeatherstOne Proposition
Not Yet Submitted "a
Local Union.

II. A. Wright, representative OF the
Featherstone foundry at Chicago, was In
Omaha for a few hours yesterday In con-
n%ection with the proposition Of his COM
pany TO erect a foundry In Omaha and give
employment to the iron molders formerly
employed by the Union Pacific. Mr.. Wright
lett the city at ( o'clock In the afternoon
without giving out any definite information
as to the results or objects Of his visit.
President Dillon Of the local molders'
union. said he did not meet Mr.. Wright
and was not prepared to speak Of his visit.
1t was learned from other representatives
OF this craft In Omaha that the Feather
stone proposition Is not settled in every de-
tail yet, Notwithstanding the fact that II
has been approved by the international con-
vention now in session at Toronto, Ontario.
According TO the version Of one OF these
men the local molders held the key to the
situation apd their wishes will not be ig-
nored by the international body. He stated,
however, that IL was the general impression
that while matters were not entirely settled
they would be, and that along the line pro-
posed by the Featherstone people.
"The time limit within which the Feath-
erstone people propose to erect the foundry
in Omaha is what is causing the delay" said
this man. I'VE proposed in the original
BA AROeNAOh AhaN u BNNRAS
agree to have the foundry completed and
ready for operation within three months
from the time the bargain went into effect.
This they accepted at first, but later OBJ
jected to and offered to compromise on four
months, which was satisfactory to us. and
we offered to enter into an agreement upon
this proposition, and the Featherstone peo-
pie volunteered to submit a bonus Of $4,000,
to be forfeited in case they failed to comply
with the agreement. But when II came to
signing this contract the Featherstone peo-
pie were not there and thus the proposition
fell through. Since that time 1t has been
impossible to get them to come to any def
mite understanding or agreement as to a
time limit, and consequently the proposition
still hangs fire.
II will say this. however: It is my opin-
ion, and l think the opinion Of all the local
moulders, that the Featherstone proposition
will yet be settled on, and in time carried
out, and we will have a foundry here in
Omaha"
The local molders have not yet received
the full details Of the Featherstone propo-
sition as acted on by their international
body at Toronto. Their delegate, James
Dalton, has only written them meagerly,
saying the proposition has been approved.
The same information has been received
from President Fox and the full details are
still awaited.

WIN Let Hubby Wear uniform.

An unsatished curiosity in regard to the
sporting life of the city and a suit of khaki
summer uniform brought Mrs. Sadie Jones
a bitter dose of the kind OF trouble dealt
out by the police department. Detectives
Healan and johnson noticed two soldiers
attracted by the strangely gentle voice and
graceful contour of the slighter soldier.
under the stern and curious gaze of au-
thority the soldier boy broke into bitter
tears. He said that she was the lawful
welded wife Of the other soldier, James
L. johnson, and that she had so wanted 10
look around a bit that she had wheedled
him into assisting in the ~escapade. James
had warned her OF possible arrest. but she
had not feared detection. AS James has
but newly finished his three years service
In the line and In consideration OF Sadie's
fearful assurance Of future circumspect-
ness, these two were granted clemency OF
law and released.
