BOY SAYS HOBO STOLE HIM
Little Fellow Declares He Was Lured
Away from Kansas City

Saying he had been lured away from his
home at Kansas City by a tramp and
brought to Omaha, little David Markowitz'
aged ~ years, Wednesday applied at a
boat on the river for transportation back
home, but was told the boat does not run.
The lad says he lives at Thirty-second and
Main streets, Kansas City, and his father,
Rio Markowitz, runs a dry goods store at
4O46 Main street. He said a hobo" told
him he would give him work he wanted
and took him along on the train. He
thought they were going only down town,
but the tran carried them clear to Omaha,
where they arrived at IL o'clock Tuesday
night.
Little David said they slept behind a
house on the ground all night, and then
he made the statement that his partner
slipped down the bank into the Missouri
river and never came up again. He stuck
to this story tenaciously and the police
will turn him over to the Associated Chart
ties for return to Kansas City. The boy
said he didn't want to run away, but
wants to be taken home Immediately.

WHEAT MAKES BIC GROWTH
Receipts in Omaha Nearly Six Tines a.
Large a. Year AGO,
OVER HALF MILLION BUSHELS IN APRIL
Total Receipts of Grain Ending May
First Increase I'm same Ratio
Over Those OF Last
Year.

Although the receipts OF grain at the
Omaha market have fallen on apprecisbly
during the last few weeks, which is
normal condition at this period OF the year
the figures showing receipts and shipments
as given by Secretary McVann Of the
Grain exchange, show continued improve
ment in the magnitude Of the Omaha
market. This is most marked in wheat,
the receipts of which increased from 1920
bushels in April Of last year to $4,000 bush
els during the month just passed
Total receipts during the last. month
were 26Os,5OO bushels, as compared with re-
ceipts of 100000 bushels during the same
same period last year, and total shipments
were $4,000 bushels, against S,O76O0O BUSH
els last year.
Corn receipts during the last month
we're less than one million bushels, as
compared with 1,l6S,SOO bushels during
April, 1906 but this decrease in receipts
was more than balanced by the increase of
oats to loo, 400 bushels, against ia, 400
bushels in April. 1906
Shipments Of corn decreased in April
1907, to l,353OOo bushels, as compared with
$4,000 bushels during the same month OF
/ the preceding year, but shipments of oats
increased nearly 100000 bushels over the
previous year to the total of 1.S26,OO0
! bushels.
The decrease in business In corn is at
tributed to the general cleaning up OF
stocks by farmers prior to the spring plow-
ing campaign and receipts are always
lighter during the spring months than OF
any time in the year. Farmers are 80
busy blowing seeding and cultivating. in
addition to harvesting the winter crops,
that price changes in the market have
little or no erect in increasing or decreas-
Ing the normal receipts.
Greatest Point of Comparison.
The remarkable growth in importance OF
! the local market is best illustrated by
comparison of the figures on receipts and
shipments for the four months ending April
/ 30, 1907 and 1906. Total receipts during the
period in question increased 400 900 bush
els to 15,607,S0O bushels, and total ship
ments increased nearly 100000 bushels tc
17,OO9,5OO bushels. The most important gain
during the period under review was the
marked increase in wheat receipts and
| shipments The receipts for the period end.
| ing April &c. 1907, were 2455, 200 bushels, as
compared with only 9O5 800 bushels during
the first four months of 1906. Wheat ship.
ments to April 30 were 2469OO0 bushels
against 1232,O00 bushels during 1906 an in
crease In volume of exactly 100 per cent
Corn receipts were S195,lOO bushels, al
compared with s,9S4,SOO bushels last yea
and corn shipments increased 100000 bush
els to $4,000 bushels
Receipts of oats since January IN
creased 100000 bushels over the sam,
period of 1906 to ASSOC bushels, and ship
ments show a larger increase of 10000
bushels to 5,77O,5OO bushels.

COUNTY STARTS OUT AHEAD
Will Fegin New Fiscal Year with No Drsf.
on General fund.
ENOUGH CASH NOW FOR APRIL AND MAY
Twelve Thousand is Outstanding
Largely in Disputed Bills, and
Most VIII Go Back to
General.

Douglas county finances are In such a
condition this year that for the first time in
years there will be little or no overdraft on
the general fund before the 1851 levy be-
comes available. according TO figures sub
mitted to the county board by w @. IRE,
chairman of the finance committee.
Usually the board has had to begin the
fiscal year with enough back bills to make
heavy inroads on the general fund as soon
as 1t is available in August.
The report shows the county owes for
bills contracted prior to January 1, Sl1,0n.22,
and for bills contracted since then, H,7S7.75,
or a total of $l2,S2s.S7 At the time the re-
port was compiled, April S, there was
S4S. $3.50 in the general fund, enough, it is
estimated, to carry the county through
April and May. Current collections and
fees, It is believed will be enough to pro-
vide for the June and July expenditures.
The $4,000 outstanding against the funds
represents largely disputed bills due princi-
pally to the clerk OF the district court and
4 sheriff. Most OF the amount will be re-
! turned to the general fund as surplus fees
as soon as allowed.
