simply that as shrewd business man
and far-sighted politician he has sur
veyed the field and come to the conclu-
sion that conditions are not favorable in
Nebraska right now for him to make the
race. That he would be the strongest
man the opposition to Mr.. Rosewater
could pick up here in Omaha is unques-
toned and his refusal TO stand should
open up light TO the others who think
they are in the race for Douglas countys
support in the state convention. II Mr.
Wattles concluded that 1t was risky for
him to run it is dead cinch that neither
Webster nor Willard nor Greene has a
ghost OF a show. II they had the wisdom
of Mr. Wattles they would follow his
suit and pull out without wasting any
more time and let Mr.. Rosewater have
the delegation without a contest, because
he is sure to have II anyway"

company, which opens on the old circus
lot on Paul street Wednesday evening,

Speaking OF the lot of the fireman and
his vicarious life. Mr.. Hutton said:
II have learned to realize that the fire
department is the ark of safety in every
village hamlet, town and city That the
boys who 1 once thought lived the most
indolent OF lives, are the most active
alert and bravest of men-the truest and
noblest defenders this country possesses
with a mission as high and holy as can
ever be that allotted man.
1T Is in the still, small hours Of night
that we look to him not only for protec-
ton of miserable chattels and the dross
we strive so hard to accumulate, but for
the salvation of our very lives.
II have seen him standing up to his
waist in ice cold water, nozzle in hand.

trembling, lettering wall, with blazing
timbers. crashing glass and long. snakey
steel ORDERS heated to white heat, seeking
to pinion him to his treacherous foothold.
COOL level-headed and courageous as befits
the American fire fighter. On yawning
roof and blazing staircase, I've seen him
fight his way inch by inch, until victory
was his over mans most dreaded foe-the
dread principle, fire. At the Mermod-
Jaccard fire In St. Louis. some twenty
years ago, ! saw him ascend q ladder TO
a height of sixty feet. nozzle in hand, to
point of vantage where he could direct
a stream Torrents of water poured down
the ladder and froze in the awful air of
a blizzard dt was 16 degrees below zero
that early morning. until he was frozen

His brave companions chopped away the
ice and lowered him to the care OF his
comrades below. I've always thanked God

BANNER DAY FOR OPTIONS
Monday Breaks Record in This Kind
of Dealing in Omaha Grain
ExhanEe.

Monday was the banner day in the his
tory Of option trading on the floor Of the
! Omaha Grain exchange. When all trans
actions had been entered on the books and
! the columns footed up al night, Il was
found that 1.3s2,0OO bushels Of wheat and
corn had changed hands. The highest fig
ure reached up to that time was $50 900
bushels, this record being made about a
week ago.
The activity was due to strong bullish
influences I'm both wheat and corn As all
transactions are secret the relative proper
ton of corn and wheat which changed
hands is not known but It is safe to say
that wheat was comparatively much more
lively than IL has been with the Omaha
traders. The board showed this to be the
case all through the session Wheat was
strong because Of dry weather In the south
west, and was up at one time IL cents
from the close Of the previous day, losing
more than half the advance at the close
Corn was strong. being Influenced to a
great extent by the strength in wheat, and
due partly to the decrease in visible supply
There lie only something like 1000 bushels
Of corn of contract grade in the local
public warehouses and no wheat More
corn is coming and probably wheat to
settle the May deal, but as many OF the
trades have been settled already there is
little probability OF necessity for large de-
liveries.
The grain committee Of the exchange met
Monday to talk over the chief Inspector
ship, which ONCE was left vacant by the
resignation OF Mr.. Heyl. No inspector was
appointed and II was decided to wait for
more applications and investigate more
thoroughly the claims Of those who have
already made known their desire for the
position.
