Wool prices are 90 high that compare
lively little will be stored this year.
This is the opinion OF L. King, manage
Of the Omaha Wool and Storage company,
and while the Omaha company has a large
amount of wool in the present warehouse,
the high prices make II necessary to en-
large the plant as has been planned.
The situation does not iniure Omaha nor
discourage the enterprise. but It is A hard
blow to Chicago, which has a 800, 600 propD-
sition on its hands, pledged to pay divi
dends and it cannot possibly secure enough
wool TO carpet the floor.
Already established, the Omaha Wool and
Storage company will fill its warehouse
with sugar and other staples. Chicago al.
ready has a sufficient supply Of storage
houses and cannot get the merchandise
Omaha is so short of warehouse room that
merchandise for future use which has tC
be delivered during the summer, has beer
stored In Kansas City and brought &c
Omaha when needed.
Only one thing promises to help the Chi.
caso enterprise out OF Its difficulty. II
will have an empty warehouse, but as tn,
contracts secured by Rev. w. II. Manse
the manager, compel the woolgrowers, VIII
signed up to deliver a certain amount OF
wool, IL is believed the Chicago company
will collect, by suit II necessary, the stor
age charges whether the wool is consigned
to the warehouse or not. This will mo-
have the effect of making friends for tn,
Chicago enterprise.
High Prices n Surprise.
The prices offered for wool are a sur.
prise to everyone. For wyoming and Mon.
tana clips many growers will receive
double what they sold for last year.
Those who sold early in the season will
experience the uncomfortable feeling Of de

the Memorial day services in Des Moines
and delivered an eloquent address on the
philosophy Of the war and the results
achieved. He declared that the Union
army did what all effort otherwise failed
for the army preserved the union. The
army did what political conventions, reso-
lutions and compromises failed to do. The
struggle for slavery was more or less a
,disunion struggle from the start. The
address was before a large crowd of Union

Hams and Bacon.
The committee on finance recommended
sn increase from 4 to 5 cents a pound on
bacon and hams and Mr.. Bacon opposed
! these amendments.
After Mr.. Bacon had declared that the
proposed increases on bacon and hams, lard
and fresh meat, veal, mutton, pork, etc,
would endanger the welfare Of the repub-
lican party, Mr.. Aldrich smilingly declared
that as he had the welfare of the repub-
lican party at heart" he would withdraw
the ommitte amendments In sections $50,
PSI and 2s4.
This action came as a surprise TO many
senator's and Mr.. Aldrich explained that he
had taken this action because he wanted
to curtail the debate and did not believe
the lower duty provided by the house on
these articles would affect tn importations.
Senate Beveridge indicating that he APP
proved this course, Mr.. Hepburn expressed
surprise that such action should be con-
templated and said he had supposed these
amendments restoring the duties of the
Dingley law which had been lowered by
the house would be maintained by the
committee on finance,

Of duty should be kept up because there
were mo more completely distributed srti-

Mr.. Aldrich said there had been reduc-
tions in nearly $50 items OF the pending bill
but they wre not reduced below the protec-

that in making these reductions we have
abandoned the protective principle"
Mr.. Hepburn insisted that some OF the
rates had been made too low.
Mr.. Aldrich suggesting the settlement Of
the question under consideration by a vote,
the Idaho senator vehemently declared his
intention to conclude his remarks.
CumminE on Prices.
Mr., Hepburn and Mr.. Bacon engaged in
a oolloquy concerning the effect of the
tariff on prices, and Mr., Cummins declared
that while Iowa raised 10000, 900 hogs an
nually, its farmers did not believe the duty
on bacon and hams had anything 20 do
with the price Of those farm products.
Obtaining permission to reconsider the
action OF the senate in adopting the SEN
ate finance committees amendment con-
corning bacon, hams and lard, Mr.. Al
drich formally withdrew the amendment
and the lower duties OF the house bill were
agreed to.
Mr.. Bacon OF Georgia moved to reconsider
the paragraph on fresh meat and game,
but the senate refused 10 do so by a vote
Of 40 70 %, and the paragraph, as amended
by the finance committee. was accepted.

A question as to the ultimate reduction

reply that fifty years hence fives per cent
dividends would be considered as remark
able as ten per cent dividends are today.
Mr.. Hartman reiterated his canviction tina

In order to permit better developments were
necessary. The hysteria of thought which
had c-ountenanced existing laws retarding
progress and hampering great undertake
ings had in a great measure disappeared,
he felt, and in its place there was a con-
sentative, tolerant, intelligent opinion
abroad in the land that the railroads and
corporations were not all enemies of the
public good. AS for listing securities Of the
Hartman roads in the Paris bourse and
disposing OF 800, 100000 of new bonds
abroad, nothing was further from his
thoughts, he was going abroad for a rest,
to take care of his health, and for no
other reason.
On the question of ship subsidies Mr..
Hartman while not endorsing the princi-
pie of governmental subsidies expressed
the hope that some day his steamship
lines would be placed on such a footing as
to permit them to compete on equal terms
with lines now subsidized.

DANGER OF HYPNOTISM.
"PrOfcssOr" Fails to Awaken His
Sleeping Subject-DOctOrs Called
Too Late.

Sonlerville. n. j., Nov. 9.-Robert
Simpson. young man of Newark, was
hypnotized before large audience in
the theatre her last night by Prof.
Arthur Everton. a professional hyp-
notist, and today he was pronounced
dead by the staff doctors of the Som
erset Hospital. After being placed in
catiileptic state the youth did not
regain consciousness.
Prof. Everton was arrested, but was
released in the custody of two police
officers. who accompanied him to the
hospital where he remained all night
In an effort to restore life to his help
less subject which the physicians said
would be impossible.
Simpson had been employed by the
hypnotist as professional subject for
little more than week and when the
performance, which was the first at
this place, began last night he seemed
In normal health. Everton passed his
hands over Simpsons face a number
of times while the young man was
lying on the floor, and soon Simpsons
body became rigid.
Everton then raised 1t and placed
1t between two chairs so that the neck
rested. OH the back of one chair and
the ankles on the back Of the other.
The hypnotist then stood upon the
rigid body of his ubject and perform
ed other feats to show that Simpson
was In complete catalepticoma.
When Eeverton had bowed his ac-
acknowledgements OF the large audi
ence's applause he stood the rigid
body erect, leaning 1t against back
wall and then sought to bring around
the subject. The audience soon real
lied that Everton had become highly
excited when his first efforts failed.

scenes and doctors called but it was

fscal year ended June 80, 1908, Bra
zilian purchases of American cotton
goods amounted to but s373.545. as
compared with purchases of British
cotton goods fir the calendar year
1908 the value IF sS,357,76e.
The total purchases Of American
cotton goods by all the South Ameri-
can countries for the fiscal year 1908
amounted to but s2,760,231. In the
calendar year 1908 the values of cot
ton goods bought by these same
countries from the principal Europ-
can countries wre as follows: United
Kingdom, $3S,S30.205; Germany,
s13,S32,000; France, s5,702.000:
Italy $S,332,764, and Spain s2.o3o.-

States sells to these countries less
than four per cent. of the total value
OF the cotton goods they buy from the
six countries above mentined. This
poor showing can not be improved
merely by supplying better steamship
service, important as that is. If a
larger share in the South American
trade is to be had it must be sought
earnestly and be won in the face of
sharp competition. Otherwise it will
be impossible to develop sufficient
traffic to warrant any Improvement in
the present limited ocean transporta-
ton service.
There is much practical informa-

with a view of being of practical as
sistance to our manufacturers and
merchants desiring to develop export
business, this company will take
pleasure in securing and supplying
any of this Information that may be
desired
Correspondence on this subject
should be addressed to the president

BIG FOUR ENIBEZZLENIENT.
Woman I'm the Case Says She Will
Tell the Whole Story.

Cincinnati Nov. 1O.-Mrs. jean
nette Stewart, also known as Mrs.
Ford, one of the women accused by
Chas. Warriner, the defaulting local
treasurer of the Big Four railroad,
Of having shared in his peculations
by blackmailing him, declared to-
night that she would tell the inside
story of the $643,O0O theft when the
case came to court. Mrs. Stewart de-
MED that she had ever received
money from Warriner.
The sudden breaking Of her silence
was caused, according to her, by a
quarrel which she had with another
woman, who has also been mentioned
by Warriner. This quarrel resulted
in the attachment Of Mrs. Stwart's
furniture today The officers who
made the attachment were quickly
followed by reporters and, in the
stress of excitement, Mrs. Stewards
reserve broke down.
Charles Warriner." she said, "and I
never gave any information to the
railroad about his shortage. It was
another woman that did it all: q wo-
man thought was my friend. I know
the whole story and I will tell it in
court, too"
One OF the women said to be in
volvel In the case started to leave
Cincinnati tonight but was advised
by detectives that If she left the city
her arrest would follow. She then
abandoned the plan.
At present the question that is ex-
ercising the railroad officials is: What
became Of the $643,OOO which Warri-
ner admits having stolen?
Warriner says he lost it in stock
speculation and in satisfying the de-
mands Of blackmailers, but that ex-
planation is not satisfactory to the
officials
Warriner says he is penniless. and
MS neighbors at his home in Wyom-
Ing, Ohio, declare that he is a sick
man.
1T Is admitted by railroad officials
that Warriner might have continued
his peculations indefinitely if he had
not been betrayed by woman, so
great was his superior's confidence in
him.
