Ugly Charge and
Then Backs Up
Intimates Supreme Court Decision
Was Written in Opponents Office,
Creating Somewhat Of a Stir.

Attorney John r. Gathers intimsted Mon
day that an opinion OF the supreme court
OF Nebraska was written in the law office
Of Hall & Stout of Omaha and there was
fluttering for a few minutes In the legal
dovecote. the same being the district court
room of Judge Howard Kennedy.
About twenty legal lumfnaries Of varying
c~andlepower were seated before the judge,
who was arranging his call.
There Is a suit over payment of a note on
the docket which has already been fought
once and which went to the supreme court.
Attorneys Gathers and J. l.. Webster are
on one side; Hail & Stout and Charles
Battelle on the other. In the course OF a
disagreement as to which side was respon-
sible for delay. Attorney Battelle remarked
that, There is not much left in the case.
OF the three questions the supreme court
settled two"
with speed Mr.. Gathers retorted: "You
will find there is a good deal left in the
case and the opinion of the supreme court
won't be written next time in the office OF
Hall & Stout"
Mr.. Stout was on his feet in the one six
teenth part Of a second.
"T think the court ought to make an in
vestigation OF this extraordinary charge
Mr.. Gathers withdrew the remark and
apologized.
What do you suppose Gathers meant?
one lawyer asked Of another.
"why, he meant-but I guess you can
make an inference as well as l can"

WOOL MEN ROAST BOSTON
Growers and Bankers Disguised a
Robber Prices Paid.
OMAHA STORAGE ONLY SOLUTION
with Eastern Market Quoting Lowest
Price at sixteen Cents, Some
Wyoming Men Are Paid
Only Eleven,

With the lowest grade of wool quoted
at 16 cents in Boston, wool interests of
Omaha as we'll as the bankers and bust
ness men, are disguised with the reports
that growers in the west have been
"fleeced" even as their flocks were clipped
last spring, by settlements made on the
basis of IL and II cents per pound by the
Boston commission houses.
As the report comes from officers of the
National Wool Growers association, II is
accepted as authoritative that many
growers who consigned their clips to Boston
are receiving such ridiculously low prices
for their wool-prices which will soon put
the wool barons in the ranks of bankrupts
unless they control their clips until they
are ready to dispose Of them.
Reports from Boston Monday morning
quoted the various woods at the following
prices:
Territory, IS to "a cents; secured 10 to
90 cents; California, IS to % cents; pulled,
IS to 63 cents; one-quarter and one-half
blood unwashed fleeces. 2s to 81 cents;
Oregon, Is to 81 cents; Ohio. so Cents;

We have just about made up our minds

Tribune shows mp Chicago.
THE trimming which growers have re-
celved at the hands OF Boston and the fight
Chicago newspapers are making to have
the wool tariff reduced. which will take
the pins from under the growers, shows
Chicago is no sincere friend Of the growers"
Mr.. Bruger had a copy Of an editorial
from the Chicago Tribune. which he said
had been widely published in Wyoming
and Montana to give growers warning OF
the attitude Of the big interests In Chi
cage.
High duties on wool have not stimulated
domestic production as It was predicted
they would the Chicago Tribune remarked
in it's issue of February 10. THE Rocky
mountain sheep owners have simply been
able to make an unreasonable profit"
From what the wool growers say wher
they conn to Omaha It is evident the re-
ceipts of the 1903 clip at Omaha will be
heavy. according to those interested in the
storage plants.

MODERN FLOUR EXCELS THAT
 OF YEARS AGO.

There has been an open discussion of late among millers, which is par. tieularly interesting in cities where flour milling is one of the chief in. dustries, whether the flour as milled now Is as fine a quality as it was many years ago, when patent flour was first milled in Minneapolis. Most of the millers insist that modern tloLr is superior to any that was ever 'nilled, while others, especially the old-timers, claim that wheat flour as manufactured by the Washburn- Crosby Co. years ago was so good as to make improvement a difficult mat ter The Washburn-Cr Co. has decided the question emphatically, and all through chance, and the modern flour comes out a winner by '"N ral shades of whiteness. It is ex- plained by several who are familiar With the history of the company that IA years ago a scheme was thought out for packing flour in cartons for domestic use. The idea was thought to De so good that large number of four-roCnd cartons were ordered manufactured and the Washburn- Crosby flour put up in that shape. Pu. it was too greata departure from custom and the carton idea at that time was not thought to be practical, So the new scheme was abandoned. The other day one of those four pound cartons, packed IA years ago, was brought to light, and it was at on.e seen that here was an oppor- tunity for comparison with the flour being milled at the present time. A test showed that the flour had kept we'll during the long period of 14 ye: IS, and had only deteriorated sligh y in a minor function. Com pared with the new flour, it was eoarses and not as white as the Gold Medal four now milled by this con- pany. The finding of the old carton set at rest all arguments as to the comparative quality of the four now being milled in Minneapolis and that of a decade, and half ago.
