he was not painting, but wandering
through the forest of Fontainebleau

storing up impressions for future pic

Nat Brisham's Anniversary.

Mr.. Brigham. who for many years has
been lecturing throughout the United States,
has timed his first appearance in Omaha
to fall upon his fifty-third birthday. There
is a certain sentiment in this selection of
dates, for Omaha was Mr.. Brigham's first
permanent home In the west. He lived in
Omaha until 1890. then went to Utah. where
he lived for eight years. He was the last
United States marshal for the territory.
being appointed by Cleveland and reap
pointed when Utah became a state and was
redistricted. Curiously enough. his Undue
ton into the lecture field was due to his
acquaintance with General Crook. when the
latter was commander of the Department
OF the Platte. One morning In the spring
of 1886 Brigham was accosted on Dodge
street by a gentleman who said: rs this
the young man who sings in the Congrega-
tionaI church choir?" Brigham replied:
Yes, sir The stranger pressed Brisham's
hand and passed on down the street with
out saying another word. This man was
General George Crook, The Silent Crook
as he was called. IL was this meeting and
the study OF Crooks Apache campaign that
years later led Brigham to write The
Apache Warpath' and his other western
lectures.

SENATORS IN WARM DEBATE
sharp Language Used In Discussing n
Bulk Sales Bill In south Da-
kOta L~eRIalature.

PIERRE. 8. D., Feb. H.-(Special Tele-
gram. 1.-THE senate warmed up this evening
on the house bill to prevent sales Of stocks
of goods in fraud to creditors. Byron
Strong led the opposition to the bill on the
ground that It would hamper legitimate
business transactions. Curtis and Bates
championed the bill and in the debate some
strong verbal exchanges with questions of
veracity kept the lobby amused, finally de-
feating the bill.
The senate passed the house bill to COM
init dope fiends to the insane hospital at
Yankton, after defeating an attempt to
amend to allow the Board Of Charities and
Corrections to designate the place OF de-
tention.
After having BEEN batted all over the
senate chamber a holt dozen times on at
tempts to secure concurrence In amend
ments to the anti-treat bill, that body
adopted the conference report. The house
will accept it as soon as it gets a chance
at it and it will soon be in the hands of
the governor.
Both houses nave accepted the amend
ment to the viaduct bill. which was in
serted to save it from a veto, and 1t will
go back to the governor with the enforce
ment power placed in the hands OF the
railroad commission instead of city coun-
ellis.
The house broke it's record this afternoon
by defeating the bill to compel railroads
to put in scales at all stock yards In the
state. the first break In that line for the
session, but they then took 1t out on the
express companies, fixing a straight 20 per
cent reduction in rates in force the first
OF the present year, slightly amending the
bill as it came to them from the senate,
and 1t will have to go back for final action
in that body.
The three Dillon civil service bills. af-
fectlng legislative employees and the manner
OF doing business, were passed by the house
this afternoon, one reducing the employees
force. another requiring all bills to be en-
crossed and enrolled on typewriters instead
OF by longhand and the third cutting off
the nice, juicy plum for writing up the
journals OF the two houses after the close
OF each session.
Governor Vessey today sent to the senate
the names of d. c.. Thomas, WATERFOWL;
w. II. King, Parker; 8. II. BLACKWELL,
Plankinton, and @. G.. Powers, Yankton, as
members OF the State Board OF Charities
and Corrections, the latter being designated

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Cuts in Iron and Steel Prices Add to
General Confusion.
ULTIMATE RESULTS HELPFUL
Business VIII BE BETTER as Soon as
H Adjusts Itself 90 New Con-
ditiOns - West in Bet
ter shape.

NEW YORK, Feb. FIR @. Dun's
weekly review OF trade tomorrow will say:
Although the cuts in steel add some
confusion to the existing weakness In the
iron and copper trades. and have brought
about a sharp decline in the security mar
ket, yet the reassertion of the law OF
supply and demand, with its inevitable
reimbursement OF prices and perhaps OF
wages, must prove ultimately helpful 70
the business situation, however disturbing
the immediate effects. The lower prices
stimulated inquiries and some orders for
structural material weie placed at Pltts-
burg at revised prices. Outside of the
area OF disturbance caused by this develop
ment, the movement Of general trade con-
ment is large. but still entirely lacking the
buoyancy hoped for. The reports from
the west indicate that that section Is
further advanced toward the point OF nor
NAL activity than the east.
Transactions in the local dry goods mar
ket are only for absolutely known. require
ments Reports from the west. however,
indicate a house trade that seems "a. be
fully up to normal. Cotton goods prices
remain stationary and the market Is more
or less uneven, certain lines being sold
ahead for months TO come, while others can
be had for comparatively nearby delivery.
Export trade is light with absolutely no
inquiry at present from China, although
fair orders are received from South America.
Print cloth yarn goods are less active and
prices are generally weaker. In mems
wear wooden goods. kerseys and thibets
are not in demand. but In fancy goods, espe-
cially overcoatings. a larger business has
been done than was expected; fancy
worsteds continue to lead IN strength.
Wooden and worsted yarns are strong and
active, while linen and jute are firm with
the demand moderate, although in all
divisions of the yarn market prices are
more favorable to buyers than for some
time past.
Boston shoe shipments for the year are
60 per cent over the corresponding period
of 1903, but deliveries on spring contracts
are nearly completed and the outlook for
the future is less encouraging. The weak
ness in the domestic hide market is still
more pronounced and such sales as have
been made are at a further reduction In
prices. The leather market is decidedly
inactive, with prices weaker on all lines,
although supplies on hand are light.
