UNITED States National Bank corner at Six
teenth and Farnam Streets], sometimes an ex-
ira car was run to accommodate the handful
which might care to ride.
About thirty horses we're required for
motive power for the service given by the
original four cars. They were worked in
three shifts and averaged about IA miles a
day each. A few horses always were out of
service, owing to sickness or injuries. From
$75 to $125 was paid for each animal. The
ideal car horse weighed from 1900 to 1000
pounds and was from 5 to 6 years old, but
condition outranked age in the estimation of the
buyer, who for many years, incident to his other
duties, was Mr.. w. A. Smith, the present Treas
urer and General Manager of this Company.
Mr.. Smiths connection with Omaha
street railways began September 2, 1872,
when he was employed as a driver. Within
a wear he was made Foreman and within
another year, Superintendent.
Daily receipts the first few years ran
from $4,000 to $4,000. The latter figure was
considered large. About $1,000 a day was
regarded as the maximu yield of a car.

the chemical world Mr.. Roosevelt APP
pointed a board of five eminent
chemists, including DR.. Remsen, of
John Hopkins University, Baltimore.
This board, after several independent
ly conducted tests, ruled adversely to
DR.. Wiley and their opinion has been
sustained, At the time of the board s
decision it was rumored Dr. Wiley
would retire, but he stil retains the
office. During the last session Of
congress quite stir was raised by
friends of Dr. Wiley over the mat
ter and provision was inserted in
the sundry civil bill knocking out the
referee board. The matter was turned
over to Attorney General Wicker
sham who now decides that the board
was legally constituted despite the
prohibition of congress
Mr.. Wickersham holds that the
president and secretary of agriculture
has full authority of law in appoint
ing the referee to Investigate the
wholesomeness of foods and that their
expenses and salaries are proper
charges against the government The
claim was made in congress that the
congress had placed the duty of ex-
aiming foods in the hands of the
chemistry bureau. Mr.. Wickersham
holds that the United States statutes
do not provide for the creation of the
chemistry bureau in the agricultural
department, but that its life grows
out of acts Of congress in appropria-
ton bills.
THE secretary Of agriculture was
authorized to accept the advice of
the board" says the attorney general.
Indeed, it was necessary for him to
have recourse to the disinterested and
unbiased advice of eminent and ex-
pert chemists whenever a serious con-
flict of opinion arose as to the dele
teriousness Of any article or substance
added to food. 1t is, of course, appar-
ent in the administration of law
of such far reaching effect as the
food and drugs act that the inyesti-
cations and conclusions of the bureau
of chemistry may be disputed by dis
interested parties. Besides, section
of that act calls for a hearing by the
secretary of agriculture whenever the
conclusion of the chemistry bureau Is
disputed. The agriculture secretary
would naturally desire to reach a
proper conclusion as to such matters
and not subject the owners of articles
affected by the ruling to litigation If
error should be made by the bureau
of chemistry. Congress would seem
to have had that fact in view when
it provided the secretary with author
ity to employ assistants, etc. as the
secretary might deem necessary, to
investigate the composition, adultera-
ton and false branding or labelling OF
goods, drugs and beverages"
Under the attorney generals ruling
the use of benzoate of soda in limited
quantities is permitted in the manu-
facture of food products, and inves-
legations recently begun by the referee
board into the WholeSomeness of cop
per salts, sulphur and saccharine will
be continued.

RELIEF IS IN SIGHT
FROM FLOOD
CONDITIONS AT LEWISTON, NEW
YORK SHOW TENDENCY TO-
WARD IMPROVEMENT.

Lewiston, N. Y, April 22.-There is
prospect of relief froln the critical
condition, which for several days has
threatened the town along the Nj
agara river. The force OF the river
current, crowded with loose Jumps Of
ice evidently has ground out a
smooth subway for its Il. beneath the
main mass of the floe, for he water
in the cellars rose only five inches
during the night and reccded AN equal
distance IN the early dawn The Ice
ploWing the upper banks upruotng
trees and pulverlllng docks and bOet-
houses is still poised on its lofty level,
but the middle line of surface of the
floe APPARENTLY has dropped a few
feet The jam is of an appalling
proportion. 1t is Il miles in length
and in many places 60 feet in depth,
and represents millions of tons and
strength power enough to annihilate
the four villages along it's border if
1t should start to go out all at once.
Another element of horror is its
pestiential nature, Mingled with the
slushy ice cast high on the banks is
a weeks sewerage from all the cities
along the Niagara frontier The plan
of Henry A. kunZie, assistant super
intendent of public works and
Charles futile, an expert on high
explosives, who yesterday afternoon
decided ON method of procedure, in
the evening obtained the permission
of the state to carry it out, is first
to blow off the head of the ice pack
now projecting into Lake ontario by
an enormous charge of dynamite.
Other sections will be separated from
the whole and allowed to drift out into
the lake. Three wagon loads of dyna-
mite We're sent from Buffalo last night
for this purpose and are now safe in
Youngstown, n. Y. at the mouth of
the river.
Captain Miller of FJrc Niagara has
offered the assistance of 10 men.
Captain Nelson, in charge of the life
saving station at Youngstown and his
crew of seven men will also help in
the breaking of the jam.

is TO CONSTRUCT
A CITY BEAUTIFUL

St, Paul, Mimi, April 22.-To Cass
Gilbert, architect of the new s5,000,000
state capitol building has been in
trusted the task of creating a city
beautiful to surround the splendid
building, and by July l his report will
be forwarded to the city council On
this basis the city will begin the work
of constructing suitable approaches to
the building, several of which will to-
tally reconstruct the street arrange
ment of important districts.
The underlying factor in the broad
Improvement plan is the parkway or
mall, of which there will be several.
One of these starting from the center
of the business district, will run
straight to the capitol. Another will
run from Seven Corners to the capitol,
and another will occupy the air line
between the new cathedral now build
ing on Selby hill and the capitol,
These will be either $50 or 200 feet in
width and in arrangement will follow
the best ideas of European cities.
Following the completion of Mr.. Gill
bert's plans and sketches they will be
submitted to the Municipal Art asso-
citation and then TO the city council.
1t is expected that Immediately upon
their adoption the work of condemn
ing property for the new approaches
will begin, and that the approaches
will be constructed at once.
The completion of the work out
lined will revolutionize the appearance
of the entire central portion of st.
Paul, connecting important points by

PULLING SITUATION

WONDER If BULL CAMPAIGN
HAS BEEN DROPPED.

Chicago, April 22-"Has the bull
campaign in wheat, so far as the pub
lie is concerned Abandoned"
Has the bull leader, James A.
Patten, now on his way to visit the
ranch of a friend in Colorado changed
his views?"
These and numerous other questions
unthought Of a week ago were rife
on the board Of trade today when the
slump in wheat continued, prices
reaching a point 8 to 8 12c below the
record price of last week, when Mr.
Patten declared that wheat was worth
intrinsically every cent being paid.
Just a week ago May wheat here
sold at $1.29A and July at $1.1S7s.
Repeatedly asked is he had corner
in the two deliveries Mr.. Patten stout
ly denied that he had not, asserting
that the crop statistics and prospects
and that actual conditions were re-
sponsble for the price and that the
cereal was worth all that was being
paid for it.
Even were | entirely out of the
market prices would be as high or
llISIlti tHdH lilty are now SAID MT.
Patten Since then the market was
dropped in way that the ordinary
followers of Mr. Patten have been un
able to explain. Today instead Of the
recovery expected after the cents de-
cline of Tuesday and Wednesday the
market opened extremely nervous and
weak May sold at sI21 early SIC

low the high price of last week

ing has been done recently decline
to $1.1OA to 32WB below yesterday
close and SIC under the record price
last Friday The market steadied
later but showed no recuperatve
power Bears jubilantly pressed their
advantage pointing to the weak for
eign markets as indicative of the cor
rectness of the bear view, that there
is no worldwide shortage of wheat.
Stop-loss sales were numerous.
Armour, who in recent interview,
upheld Mr.. Patterns bulish survey of
conditions and whose house "
credited with buying yesterday. was
rumored to be selling on the Liver
pool market
In the Bartlett-Patten offices it was
stated that there was no reason TO
change any statement previously
made by Mr. Patten.
The break in prices was character
lied as furry. The lost ground it
was said would be regained without
many manipulationS. Timid holders
ii was declared We're unloading,
frightened at the decline, or because
their resources were insufficient to
maintain them in the market, 1t was
this class of traders mainly who ex-
pressed curiosity as to Mr. Patterns
present views.
Among Mr.. Patterns allies and in
Inmates, however. the word wait"
was spoken enthusiastically, although
some of them said:
1T looks funny, the way the mar
ket acts"
The s cent decline has made a big
hole in paper profits, although to
what extent no one can say, az ~
one knows the extent of the long lines
held or at what price purchased Also
there have been heavy actual losses
among traders whose resources have
given out and their trades closed.
