FISH GO HIGH in PRICES
Cost More to Catch Them and So They
Follow Beef on Upward
Trend.

When there is nothing but IS cattle on
the market and hogs are bringing 500 to
S7,35, the fish in the northern and western
rivers seem to get the vibrations and go
to deep water where they are hard to
catch and the price goes up.
This is what has happened the last few
days. The result Is that fish are somewhat
higher than usual. 1T costs more to pro-
duce them" is the reason given. 1T takes
lots of money to buy boats and equipment
for deep fishing and Il also takes expert
ence, but when the pickerel and trout are
pulled out of deep water the quality is
finer. Just like corn fed beef in comparison
to the grass fed stock"
There is an unusual demand for smoked
fish on the Omaha market. The demand
for these cured fish in the middle of sum-
mer is unusual and Omaha dealers saw
that they have never had the demand be-
fore at this time of the year. The smoked
fish selling generally begins about October,
but this year the dealers were selling the
smoked whitefish and smoked sturgeon on
the Fourth of July. The high price of
meats and the fact that fish is becoming a
more popular hot weather food each year,
are given as reasons for the annual demand
for the smoked fish.
Michigan celery is offered by the best
dealers, it being almost sixty days earlier
than usual, arriving last year in September.
TIL rainy weather which has been general
throughout the celery region, has enabled
the celery growers to produce a very fine
quality, which has reached the Omaha
market.

SUPPOSED CASE OF SUICIDE
Hans Bern of Sioux City Disappears
and Coat Is Found on
Bridge.

With indications pointing TO his suicide
by the Missouri river route. a man sup
posed to be Hans Bern of Sioux City dis
appeared about 1870 o'clock last night
from the Douglas street bridge.
Bern was seen in the saloon at Tenth
and Douglas streets by L. A. Kern Of S61I
Avenue D., Council Bluffs, and by r. c..
Kern. the latter's cousin from Grand Island.
The bartender sold a half-pint bottle of
whiskey to Bern, who had first asked the
price Of a pint and had said upon learning
the price: II guess a half-pint will do"
From the saloon Bern had gone onto the
bridge and was followed soon after by the
Kerns, who were going home to the Bluffs.
The three men met at the toll house.
where the Kerns stopped to talk to Toll
keeper Fellers for five or ten minutes On
walking about $50 feet past the toll house
Bern's new black coat was found neatly
folded and lying between the two ratings
on the north side Of the bridge. His hat.
a new soft felt one bearing the mark of
the Nebraska Clothing company, was on
top of the coat, which had the mark OF
Nicoll, the tailor, on the collar.
The initials III. b." were cut in the
inner band of the hat. and in the pockets
of the coat a number Of papers were found.
One was a receipt for dues paid to Lodge
Il, Fraternal Order Of Eagles, at Sioux
City, from February 5 20 August 8, lSOS.
A receipt for 81 poll tax paid to Hans
Bern at Emerson, Dixon county, Nebraska,
was also found. a card Of a woman of a
Ninth street resort and a program Of the
Novelty theater OF Denver were In other
pockets of the coat. The theater program
was dated May 25 and on the back was an
almost unintelligible pencil scrawI which
read somewhat as follows: This is all I
can do for you. See you later. Eagle n,
500 city" AT the top of the card was

80 years old. The Kerns reported their

one was from a love letter sent her
by her husband in the early 50s-were

sure they would be worth something
The old lady had always wished to
be the donor Of her namesake's we'd

gave the stamps to her little grano
child, she told her to sell them for
what she could, and perhaps they
would bring enough 10 buy a wedding

stamps to a dealer in Alexandria. He
bought all the others for moderate
prices, but when he came to the stamp
from the old love letter he declared
at once that it's value wss beyond his
purchasing power.
Accordingly it was sent to an agent
in Richmond, who forwarded it to
this city. 1t was purchased for a col

When she was informed of the i'm

old love letter, Mrs. Fawcett was over

enough for a dress the rest would be

new THEORY SUCCESSFUL
IN Indianapolis
l. T. Cooper Makes Many Converts During
Stay I'm That City.

The new theory (backed mp By his
preparation} advanced by l. +.
Cooper with regard TO the cause Of
most Ill health Of the present genera
tion Is being sown broadcast by this
young man
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health Is impossible unless the stom-
ach Is re-vitaliZed- This he claims TO
do with his preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis
Star during Cooper's stay IN that city
has this to say Of Cooper and his prep
aration: Residents OF this city are
being astounded by L. T. Cooper and
his new preparation.
Reports that preceded Mr.. Cooper S
visit here told OF his success in other
localities, but the immense success OF
his medicine and the general belief
in his theory was wholly unprece-
dented.
$50 great Is the rush of the public
to this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours in
an effort TO see him. The most inter
esting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as 10 the
actual accomplishments OF Cooper S
medicine. Among recent statements OF
this character the following is O fair

PROHIBITION AND CRIME

The Rev. Henry C. Kinney, rector
Of Holy Trinity church, Chicago, writ
ing to the Chicago Sunday Tribune"
says:
Il have taken the census returns or
12O cities of the United States, the
number of saloons to the population
of each, the number of arrests Tor
drunkenness end for crime, and | an
prepared to say that the arrests made
in these cities have no relation to the
number Of saloons in them.
Il took eleven cities, for instance,
which had no licensed saloons and
having a total population of 6OO, ,l55.
AS against these l set off five cities
having a total of ISL 1884 inhabitants,
and with an average of 55 saloons to
each 10000 of population.
IN the first group, having no licensed
saloons and 151 900 fewer people, l
found an average of 2O2 arrests for
drunk and disorderly conduct in each
10000 of population, as against 1l2 in
the 10000 in he group of cities having
licensed saloons. In each 10000 pOpu-
latiOn in the unlicensed group there
were 94.S2 more arrests for drunken
ness and 423 more arrests for crime
than | found where liquor was licens-
ed in so many places.
II have taken official figures only
and present results that cost me most
OF my surplus time through a period
of two months. l have only to say OF
them that they prove beyond challenge
that there is no traceable connection
beween the number of saloons In the
cities and the crime records of those
places"

PROHIBITION NURSE OF CRns1E

Artificial offenses and meddlesone
legislation, and that felt to be unjust.
are indeed causes OF crime OF which
the philosophical educator cannot ar
ford to be ignorant. Artificial ofenses
put large class Of people, and soften
that Of the least discriminating and in
structed, into needless antagonlsm
with the law. Confounding the moral
distinctions on the side of the law be-
gets a corresponding confusion in the
mind of the citizen. If the Law treats
the sale of a mug of beer or sweet
cider as of like delinquency with the
crime OF larceny, how long Will II
take the humble and unlearned to con-
clude that the law is either sham,
unworthy of veneration, or else jump
to the converse of the first PROPOSE
ton and vote larceny OF an article
to be no worse than the selling OK the
beer or the cider? SO, therefore, every
statute denouncing the penalties OF the
criminal law against men in violation
of the commonly received sense OF
Justice, concerning human relations III
the civil state, become by reason OF
that very excess a generation Of evil.
The laws under which men are pun
iShable can have no moral value un~
less the appeal can be made to the
consciences Of men, challenging them
boldly to the confession Of the Apostle.
wherefore the law is holy, and COM
randmcnt holy and just and good. =
