Arrests for GambIinE.

The police have made more arrests for
gambling since the Dolezal- Walker case.
Saturday night Detective Nels Turnquist
arrested three Austrians for gambling in
buildings located on o street. The men
arrested were Nick Falmons, Jack Notilict
and Nick Stiojon. The men were playing
cards. More men than the above are said
to have been in the game, but they are
the only ones he succeeded in capturing
They will probably have a hearing today.
Saloons Close on Sunday.
The A~nti-Saloon league. which has been
busy in South Omaha and the suburbs, ro-
quested Sheriff Bradley to close two sa-
looms alleged TO be running at illegal hours
and on Sunday outside the city limits Of
South Omaha on the west. The saloons
were at Forty-sixth and Q streets and
Forty-fifth and L streets. The league sent
II. T. Brass Of South Omaha and one other
witness to these places a week ago to Sc
cure evidence of Sunday opening. Both
men stated that the saloons were wide
open and the men were crowded three and
four deep around the bar waiting for beer.
The two witnesses had no trouble in get
ting liquor. During the week this evil
dence was presented TO Sheriff Bradley, who
at once sent word to the saloon operators
to comply with the law. This word had a
magical effect, for the committee of the
Anti-saloon league visited the places yes
terday and both we're closed and deserted.

Corn May he Light.


The corn crop OF Iowa has but forty
days before the date OF the average kill
ing frost IN which 10 mature, the average
killing frost coming on October g. That
length Of time is not sufficient for the
crop to mature in. There have been times
when the first killing frost came much
later than October g. and the salvation
Of this years corn crop depends on the
length Of time after that date that the
frost holds off. Heavy rains during the
planting time and after prevented cult
walton and caused much OF the corn to be
planted late. Now much Of II is suffer
ing for rain and as a result DR.. Chappell
Of the crop and weather service believes
the crop is sure to be light. The only
question is how light, II there is not rain
soon the end kernels on the ear will not
I'LL, which will make the crop short. II
rain comes TO the state At once the ears
will FIJI better and the crop will not be
so short.

There is not enough outside business to give us
much of bull market and brokers think sales

crop.
1.-THE continued upward trend of cotton appar-
entity unassisted is due more to the inherent
strength of the staple rather than to any ag-
gressivenuess on the part of its friends. The
nearby portion Of the option list showing the
most strength is confrmatory of the better de-
mand for the cash article. Last year. harassed

Gamers Standpoint

The California canneries company say in a
circular:
The months of January and February have
made a record for storms and rainfall that has
not been equaled In years and, aside from the
lower Sacramento river and San Joaquin island
districts, which have been visited with disas-
trous floods, the rains have been greatly well
coined.
Many of the rich cultivated islands lying in
these districts flooded and immense loss ac-
crued TO the vegetable growers whose crops were
destroyed. Some of the asparagus fields were
under water but the larger acreages of this
vegetable were not flooded. One of the features
OF the market In the last few weeks has been
the offering of small quantities of fresh aspara-
gus at prices ranging from 10 to 80 cents a
