LOCAL CORN BEATS CHICAGO
Prices Are Higher On the Omaha
Market Than in the
Windy City.

Corn brought more money on the Omaha
market Saturday morning than in Chicago
for the first time in the history of the
Omaha market, according to grain dealers.
On the floor OF the exchange ]. B.. Swear
engen sold eight carloads to the Trans
mississippi Grain company for 70 cents per
bushel. 1t was No. 3 corn and a few min
utes after the sale was closed Mr.. Swear
engcn was offered 76k cents Tor 5000 BUSH
els.
The highest price on the Chicago market
Saturday for corn OF equal grade was "A
cents, the Chicago range being 73q74 cents,
while the Omaha market was 70 cents, witt,
the 75h cents offered for corn which the
seller could not supply.
Al the same time the cash prices were
showing the Omaha market / cent higher
than Chicago July options were from lsd1a
a cent higher than in Chicago and the Chi
! cago market closed u a cent lower thar
the Omaha market. The Omaha market
opened at 72% cents-the Chicago market
at TAX cents. The highest bid In Omaha
was the same as in Chicago at IS cents.
The lowest bid in Chicago was 741s cents,
while the lowest in Omaha was 72a csnts
The Omaha market closed at 70 cents and
the Chicago market at TAN cents.

VICTIM OF FRIENDS FREE
Chicago awye Who Drinks Alb

Months in Jail.

After spending two months in the county
jail, the victim, II is asserted by his friends
of an absinthe spree, Walter Wright, q
Chicago lawyer with high references, has
been liberated and the case against him
charging forgery has been dismissed by
County Attorney English.
Wright came to Omaha in hard luck and
began soliciting for the sale Of slot

a small amount and he was arrested about
two months ago, His friends have since
made up the amount Of the check. They
assert he had been drinking absinthe and
was not responsible when he passed the
check. He asserts he received the check
as payment on a machine and passed IL on
without knowing IT was bad.
Wright furnished the court with a list
Of names of more or less prominent Chi
csgo lawyers and business men, who he
said would testify as to his good character'

NO SUCCESSOR YET TO DAVIS
appointment of Coroner IL Again De-
ferred by the Board of County
Commissioners.

For the second time the election Of a
coroner to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Harry B. Davis was postponed by
the county board Saturday. The lobby Of
the commissioners room was filled with
friends of applicants before the board con.
vened. Then Chairman KeEnard announced
the board had decided not to appoint until
the next meeting. G.. n. Brewer Of South
Omaha, Robley ID, Harris and o. S, Hulse
filed for the place Saturday. The applica-
ton Of Mr.. Hulse was accompanied by a
letter of endorsement from Mrs. Davis and
a long petition headed by Sheriff Bradley.
In the letter it was stated IT. case Of
Mr.. Huise's appointment the proceeds OF
the office until the fall election would go
to Mrs. Davis. Other of the applicants
have made the same proposition to the
members Of the board. The boards an
pointment is good only until after election,
but it is sought after by prospective can
didates at the fall election. who consider it
a point in their favor to be already in
office.

Some of the petitioners feel that the step
has been taken in the right direction and
something better may be secured later. The
commission has ruled that the through
rates to the Missouri river cities are UNI
reasonably high. How much the rates will
be reduced the shippers have been unable
to learn. as the official report of the ruling
has not been received.
The differential against Omaha dealers on
shipments taking the first-class rate from
the Atlantic seaboard is 80 cents per hun
dred pounds, while the differential against
Omaha on shipments taking third-class
rates is II cents. Dry goods and shoes are
shipped largely in these two classes.
An unconfirmed report from one OF the
Kahsas City houses interested says the
commission has decided to reduce the first
class rate 20 Missouri river cities 8 cents
and the third-class 6 cents. This would
give st. Paul and Minneapolis rates on the
two classes "a cents and II cents cheaper
than the rates TO Omaha.
I'VE should have at the very least half
Of the d%ifferential under such a ruling"
said a petitioner. THAT would be little
enough and might be what the commission
calls reasonably lower to ST. Paul than to
the Missouri river The first-class rate
should be the same, of course, but under
the ruling it should be cut 16 cents and tho
third-class rate sIR cents"

S. R. RUSH IN DURANGO TRIAT
Omaha Federal Attorney Will Help

CHARGE NOW IS CONSPIRACY
Second Trial of Mason and Wander
weld, who Were Accused Of
the Murder of Joseph
Walker.

Assistant Attorney General 8. r. Rush
left for Denver Saturday afternoon 10 as
sist in the prosecution of William Mason
and Joseph Vanderweid of Durango, Colo,
under indictment for conspiracy against
a citizen in violation of sections 660e-9
United states revised statutes.
The accused men are the same who were
tried in the Colorado state courts for the
Sixth district in April on the charge OF
killing Joseph Walker of the United States
secret service in November, 1907, while he
was investigating some matters pertaining
to alleged coal land frauds. Walker was
killed near a coal shaft while he and two
associates were investigating the coal drifts
in the shaft TO ascertain II the drifts were
on public lands. His two companions were
down in the shaft and after the killing OF
Walker the rope ladder with which they
descended the shaft was cut by Walkers
murderers and they were left imprisoned
in the shaft. but were released shortly
thereafter upon the discovery OF Walkers
dead body. There were no witnesses to the
killing of Walker. Vanderweid and Mason
asser ed that Walker had shot at them and
they fired on him in ~self-defense. At the
preliminary hearing of the case the accused
men we're placed under $4,000 bonds. which
were promptly furnished, When the case
was brought to trial in the state courts
both men were acquitted after a brief
hearing.
The government was never satisfied with
the trial of the case and the two men
were Immediately rearrested by the gov
eminent on the charge Of conspiracy
against a citizen. on the theory that a
mans life cannot be twice put in jeopardy
in a case OF murder.
The attorneys for Vanderweid and
Mason have entered a plea of bar 10 a
retrial on the theory that their clients
lives are again placed in jeopardy for an
offense Of which they have been acquitted.
The government has brought an indict-
ment against the accused on the theory OF
conspiracy and they will be tried on
that charge and may be held amenable
yet for the killing of Walker as a result
Of the conspiracy whereby a citizen and
officer lost his life at their hands while
In the discharge OF his duty.
The murdered man was well known IN
Omaha, having been engaged with the
secret service force in the Investigation OF

WHAT We KNOW ABOUT EGGS
Popular Ideas of the Kitchen Given
a Hard Fall.
SCIENCE GIVES COOK A TIP
Government Bulletin Tells of Expert
ments mn Food Value of Eggs
and How to Prepare
Them.

A government bulletin compiled by DIR.
c.. H.. of the Department of
Agriculture. Washington, tells a few
things about eggs, their food value and
how to cook them, which disposes Of pet
theories Of chefs of high and low degree.
Among other statements drawn from ex-
periments are these:
Eggs is eggs the world over, and par
ticularly IN hurry-up restaurants, inele-
gdntly referred to as dumps where you
get them in one Of two conditions, soft,
with an expressive adjective, or hard, with
the same. II doesn't make a particle of
difference how you order them, nearly all
the chefs along the Greasy Way can serve
them in only two styles and not always to
your liking at that.
Two or three minutes. women and men
cooks will tell you, is the time required to
boil eggs. That's wrong and the experts
In the laboratory OF the University of Illi-
nois have proved IL. over there they put
the esq into a pan Of water that had
boiled and then hut off the heat The pan
was closely covered and the egg was al
lowed to remain in the water six minutes
BY that time it was soft boiled. Tests
showed that when the egg was put into
the water the temperature fell from 1856
degrees F. TO 40. II the egg remained in
the water eight minutes It was medium
cooked and the water temperature had
fallen to l62 degrees. II more time be al
lowed the egg may be hard cooked,
The value Of this process, more lengthy
than the customary one, is found in the
flavor impaired or rather retained in the
egg, as compared with the egg that has
received only a hasty dab into any water
or coffee that chances to be hot at the
m ment.
Food Value Higher Tha Meat.
Housewives ordinarily pass over the
pages in good cook books that refer to
eggs. and yet the many varied forms Of
preparation and the great value of the
food and its cheapness, even when the
price Is high. is a reason for giving the sub
ject close attention. The amount Of nu-
tridve material which a given number OF
eggs will furnish is interesting, When
eggs are fifteen cents a dozen, II ever they
are that cheap, ten cents worth will give
one pound total food material containing
.iS pound protein ard 90 pound fat. Ten
cents worth OF beef at eight cents a pound.
will give LIS pounds total food material.
"a pound protein and .l6 pound fat. Many
families OF moderate means buy fresh
meat only once a day, for dinner, using
for breakfast either bacon, drief beef,
Goldfish OF leftover meats; for luncheon
or supper. bread and butter and the cold
meat from the other meals. with. perhaps
the addition OF cake and fresh or preserved
fruit. II Is a thrifty housekeeper who
does this way, but she very often falls
into the error OF excluding eggs. whereas
Il Is well known that for at least one
meal and perhaps for two, eggs could take
the place OF meats. TO the advantage Of the
family. physically and financially. Eggs
