THE crops throughout t

THE crops throughout the country generally are immense. Though in certain lines in cer- tain sections the results were not as good as might be still as an average throughout the whole country the crops were such as to break the worlds record. In other lines production results were equally good. In mining, manufacturing and other lines such immense production was never known. The railroads are swamped with business and the steel mills, machine shops and car works are swanped with orders for rails and rolling stock to build new roads and equip old ones. Everybody is busy and wages are the best and steadiest in the history of the country. Everybody has a chance and the prospects ahead are rosy. This holiday season we have ample occasion to rejoice, losing sight of our own little personalor com. munity or even state- wide griev- ances in the universal general avera ge of human happiness and material prosperity.

THE rule of the day is raise in prices, Business men find that it costs % per cent more 10 do busi- ness today than it did eighteen months ago. Many are trying to continue on the basis of prices and percentages of profit but they cannot keep up for very long at the old rates. Every thing that they touch has raised in price, merchandise, wagons, rents, carriage charges-every- thing. They must raise them- selves or be submerged by the
 rising tide around them. It is a notable fact that the average country newspaper man is the poorest sort of money maker for himself, but even the newspaper faternity ara beginning to see that they cannot survive on the prices of two or three years ago. The merchant who had box of envelops printed two years ago for S1 50 need not be surprised because the same job now costs S2.00. The printer is not making a cent more now at the $2. price than he did two years ago at the S1. 50 price.

COLORADO is seriously con

COLORADO is seriously con- sidering the abandoning of woman suffrage, not for any ef. feet it has had nor for anything the women have done with the ballot, but rather for lack of ef- feet and for what the women have utterly failed to do with the ball. lot. In Colorado the woman suf- frage scheme is not a farce or a travesty but just plain, every day sort of failure. The better class of women will be in the majority in asking for the repeal of the law.

SECOND CHAPTER AND DRAW
Extended Legal Flight over nag Of
Cement Comes Out Even
for Contestents.

Chapter No. in an extended legal fight
over a bag of cement-and a principle-was
finished yesterday in the district court
when Judge EsteIle entered judgment in
favor Of the defendants in the famous
case Of ira L. Van Horn against sunder-
land Bros. and the Omaha Coal and Coke
company. This makes one victory each for
plaintiff and defendants to date, Unless
the plaintiff decides 10 quit the supreme
court will have to decide the matter.
II was during the strike in Omaha in
1893 that the case started. Van Horn, who
is a carpenter filed an affidavit in which
he set forth that he had gone to the de-
PENDANTS place of business and offered to
tender $3.50 for one sack Of hardwan plas-
ter and that the defendants refused 10 de-
liver the same to him. though they had it
in their possession and though it was a
public utility.
He charged the defendants with entering
into a conspiracy to FIX the price Of lime
and cement, to prevent competition, TO dis
crimirta4e against labor unions and TO
force the cooperation OF people needing
these commodities In order to break the
strike
On June 3 1903, he secured e writ Of re-
pIevin for the sack OF hardwaIl plaster
and It was secured for him by a constable.
The decision was In favor OF the plaintiff.
1t was found that by rendering the d.5o
for the hardwall cement he acquired a spe-
cial ownership in it and the defendants had
no night to withhold it from him. The
plaintiffs damage was fixed at cents.

Numbered Thirteen.

Some persons say the number '1S' is not
unlucky, but Charles Ellis, oolored. who
was arraigned In police court Tuesday
morning. Is living testimonial OF the mis-
fortunes attached to the fateful number.
Ellis is charged with the burglary OF the
saloon last Friday night-think OF 1t. Fri
day--of Lou Russell. Thirteenth and Chi
cage streets. and stealing exactly sl3 and
a watch valued at sl3 and numbered l2Ol2
He will be tried February u and thirteen
witnesses viii testify against him. This Il
the chain that fate has woven around
Colonel Ellis. who evidently forgot TO carry
his rabbits foot on the night Of the bur
glary. The SIS watch numbered lsO1s was
recovered Monday by Detectives Mitchell
and Sullivan. who also arrested Ellis last
Saturday on suspicion of knowing some
thing OF the burglary.
Ellis sold the watch to a colored friend
for $50 about a. m. on. the morning Of
the burglary and is known to have APP
preached another negro with the >proposi-
ton TO assist him in the burglary. The
chain OF evidence woven around the pris-
oner seems ample enough to secure a con-
vietion. but Detectives Mitchell and sulli-
van are confident that the hOOdoo '1s'' win
accomplish the end II they should fan.
