OMAHA NOT LOSING TRADE
Controls western Nebraska and Wyo-
ming Despite Denver Mans
solicitation.

Omaha jobbers take issue with the state
ment made before the Real Estate eS-
change Wednesday by John II. Field OF
Denver, engineer in charge of the Path
finder dam in Wyoming, to the effect that
Omaha dealers are neglectng the North
Platte territory and that Denver, st. Joseph
and Kansas City houses are getting tho
trade.
"Omaha is getting the new trade which
is developing in western Nebraska and
all over Wyoming, said +. ~. Judson,
president Of the Omaha Commercial club.
We are not losing any OF our opportunl-
ties there. The territory Is naturally tribu-
tary to Omaha, the business comes easy
and we are going to keep It. IL is wonder
full, too, how our business with that country
is growing. Mr. Field has evidently made
his statements from some very superficial
observation. Denver cuts no Ice at all
I'm that country, and Kansas City and St
Joseph are having hard time 10 get any
OF the trade at all. In many lines Omaha
has nine-tenths of the business In wyoming
and western Nebraska"
II cannot account for Mr. Fields state
ment," said VIII L. Yetter, chairman OF
the trade extension committee OF the
Omaha Commercial club. I'VE have by
far the largest part OF the trade in that
territory. We know that the territory be-
longs to Omaha and We want all It's trade.
Farther out. In Idaho, Omaha Jobbers are
not pushing for business as hard as they
might. and they ought to have more OF
II than they do Then there is another
territory where we ought to have more
business. That is in noEheru Kansas on
the Rock Island Some jobbers sell goods
In every town there, but others have prac-
tically no business at all. 1t should be
different, for the Rock Island gives US as
good train service 10 that country as is
afforded 70 Kansas City and ST. Joseph"

CASES OF FREEsE AND ICE HALL
Butch signs Omaha Contract and
Pitcher May Go.

Butch Freese signed a contract last night
TO catch for Pa Rourke during the coming
base bali season. That is the outcome OF
Butch's determination TO manage and
catch for the Fremont team this season.
And Ice" Hall IS still a problem. Ice
wants to stay in Omaha and Father Rourke
wants him to stay here, but the powers

States league, for they say they have him
going south now. Rourke last night sent
to Farrell, president of the Association OF
Minor Leagues. additional evidence tending
to prove Omahas claim 10 the sturdy
pitcher and hopes to convince Mr.. Farrell
that he ought to listen TO reason. But Il
may as we'll be admitted that there are
some people in Omaha who doubt the

THURSTON RIFLES
KENNEDY WINS THE HANDICAP
Beats I<Ountxe In Closest Match of
February Tournament.

The closest match in the February
squash ball tournament was watched with
considerable interest Tuesday morning by
the members of the club, who were divided
as to the probability of Kennedy being
able to overcome the handicap OF eight
which the Official handicaper had given to
Luther kountze. In the first game Ken
needy had a walkaway and won handily by
a score OF Is to 3. In the second KountEe
made a brace and after making the game
deuce won out by a score of Is to IL. The
supurb endurance of Kennedy told in the
final game and he was able to overcome
his handicap and won the game and set
by score OF is 10 S. This was not the
final game in the tournament. but IL was
looked upon as the hardest in the faster
class, as many were OF the opinion that
Kountze. with his handicap. would be able
TO lower the colors of Kennedy and put
him out OF the running for February.

CATTLE-The receipts of cattle this
morning were fair for a Thursday a few
over 100 fresh cars being reported on sale.
The run was about the same as one and
two days ago.
After the heavy receipts of the last three
days the offerings this morning looked
very small and the yards seemed almost
empty of cattle. Buyers were out in
good season and as they all seemed to
want a few cattle the market was in
good healthy condition. The number of
desirable beef cattle In the yards was
very small still there were a few right
good killers in sight. The market on beef
cattle was fully steady and in some cases
sellers thought they got strong prices for
such of their holdings as happened to
strike the fancy Of buyer The offerings
were almost all taken in good season in the
morning.
Cows and heifers were also in light
supply and good demand and the market
was reasonably active at good steady
prices. AS was the case with beef steers
such cattle as were especially desirable
changed hands at prices that looked IL
anything a little stronger than yesterdays
general market.
Stockers and feeders sold very freely and
being in moderate supply the pens We're
soon clear. Spectators were the princi-
pal buyers in spite of the fact that IL
Is getting a little late in the week for
them TO want very many fresh cattle AS
was the case with killing cattle, stockers

HOGS-Receipts of hogs looked small this
morning as compared with yesterday AMI
the day before and still 1t was a good
liberal run for a Thursday. 1879 cars being
reported in. After the slight decline yes
terday sellers all seemed TO feel that 4
reaction was due and without exception
were pricing their hogs higher this morn
ing. Buyers were in no great hurry to
throw away the advantage which they
gained yesterday and hence the trade was
little slow to open. When buyers and
sellers finally got together it was on the
basis OF a shade higher prices and the
$5.9OQ5 50 yesterday. The top today, $500
was PIC higher than anything bought yes
terday. As will he noted from the tables
showing the range of prices the gain in
values today makes up for part of tn
loss yesterday and leaves the market quite
little higher than II was at the close
of last week

CURRENT LITERATURE,

THE Philippine Islands," by Fred w.
Atkinson first general superintendent Of
education in the Philippine islands, is an
impartial. brief popular statement OF the
conditions in the Philippine islands as they
would impress observing Americans. The
author has had a wide experience through
out the islands and has been intimately as
ISOLATED with natives of the various races.
In every way he is admirably qualified for
writing a description of the Philippines.
The book is intended to give the public
at large a definite idea of just what our
new possessions in the orient comprehend,
TO correct Impressions that have been
caused by erroneous accounts and to recon-
cile views that have come from the two
necessarily conflicting sources-the military
and the civil. In short, the aim is to give
conciseIy that sort of information which
will be the best substitute for an actual
acquaintance with the different parts of
the archipelago. CHM & Co. are the pub

BRAVE DRIVER
SAVES HORSES
CATCHES THEM AS THEY RUN
TO CAR
Succeeds in Stopping Wild Flight OF
Frightened Animals and Prevent
ing Damage to Life and
Property

Jumping in front of two powerful
truck horses that raced down EAST
Fourth street yesterday morning
Walter Latin, the driver, risked ms
own life to save the lives of pedes-
trians on the crowded thoroughfare.
and to prevent the destruction OF ms
employers property.
The truck and team belonged to
the Southwestern Printers Supply
company and was delivering paper
cutter to the Behrendt Press company,
421 West Fourth street.
Just as the machinery was being
unloaded in front Of the printing COM
panys office a teamSter passed and
called to his horses.
The truck horses became alarmed
at the shout and broke away. The
street Is a gradual incline on East
Fourth and the heavy machinery,
which weighed 5000 pounds, together
with the weight of the wagon, which
was 54OO pounds, bore down on the
and faster till it seemed that they
would be crushed beneath the on
rushing juggernaut.
Driver Stops Horses
At Fourth and Hill streets the rum
aways turned north. Here there were
| two cars standing at opposite COR
ners, and the frightened horses were
running to the car to the north with
fury
The driver had been pursuing his
team and just at this point where
danger was imminent to lives and
property, he succeeded in reaching the
| truck.
Needless of his own safety he threw
| himself in front of the snorting ami
mails and with one jump landed safely
on the singletree. Another leap and
he was on the seat, with the reins
held firmly in his hands.
Only a quick, powerful pull on the
horses bits swerved the immense
truck from the path of the car, and
dashed it against the curb

will go to the travelling Libraries for

eight to the duplicate list. Anyone who

are not enough, another copy viii be
ordered by special messenger; and an
other, up TO a maximum of fifty--Which
will Increase the number of copies Of
a popular book by 250 per cent. This
