HOG PRICE PASSES NINE
DOLLARS ON LOCAL MARET
II Exceeds Omaha I'm other Packing
Centers, Going to $40 in
Chicago.

The latest of a long series Of record
breaking prices, which have been remark
able the last two weeks on the South
Omaha live stock market, was paid Thurs
day when two car loads of hogs brought
the figure Of s9.0 per hundred weight.
Last weeks new record was $3.50.
Both OF the record making shipments
were of hogs fed on Nebraska farms. One
car was fed by William Lange at Platte
Center. These hogs were owned by Rosen-
baum Bros. s. Co. TIL other car load of
hogs was from the feeding pens on J. E.
Bottoms ranch at Tiiden.
Another high price. although not estab-
fishing a record, was paid for Colorado fed
lambs. One shipment Of 922 head, the
property of George and August Yost, Love-
land, Colo, brought SO a hundred, while
another lot of 1893 head sold for 1885,.
These are the highest prices paid for lambs
this year.
The purchase of the lambs Thursday rep
resents a bit of a triumph over the Chi
cago market. Fifteen cars were bought
at South Omaha out Of a Chicago bound
shipment, which had stopped only to feed.
The rivalry between South Omahn and
Chicago has been growing because of the
scarcity of the Colorado lambs, which are
80 much In demand.
CHICAGO, Feb. I7.-Live hogs at the
stock yards today touched a record price
unequalled since 1870, selling at 1910 per
100. Continued light receipts for several
months at the packing centers and reports
OF a scarcity of hogs ON the farms called
out prophecies that the $40 mark touched
ia 1870 may be reached. again soon.
Until today the record price for forty
years was 1875, made in 1882. War time
prices for hogs in 1865 were 3d. Is.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Feb. 1.-THE highest
price ever paid for hogs on the local mar
ket was that today OF $s.12H per 100 pounds.
SIOUX CITY. Ia, Feb. 17.-Hogs made a
new record here today, touching 50. This
is 10 cents over previous high marks.

PIECES OF PIE TO GIVE
Fire Warden and Assistant Veter-
marian to Be Named.
MAYOR IN CHARGE OF COUNTER
He May Feed One Piece to Doe Hall
or Doc Breed, Both OF whom
Are Said to BE Very
Hungry.

Mayor Dahlman now has two appointments
pending with fair salaries attached. one Is
city fire warden and the other is assistant
city veterinarian and slaughter house In
spector, which is created by an ordinance
passed Tuesday evening. Each position
pays $125 a month
The mayor says he will nominate the
assistant veterinarian Tuesday evening, but
will not indicate who is to get the place
The names of DR.. Hall, who formerly held
the position, and of Doc Breed, manager
of the Krug theater. are being talked back
and forth among the city hall cabinet.
Whoever gets It must agree to the terms
OF DR.. Connell, health Commissioners, to be
on the Job at the Independent packing
houses in South Omaha from Z o'clock in
the morning until 8 In the evening.
THAT inspection is going to be properly
made" says DR.. Connell. I'VE have been
fighting too long to get this law enacted
by the council to take any chances now
on the work being neglected"
For the job OF fire warden, Bob" Holmes
was once nominated by the mayor. bull
the Board of Fire and Police Commits
sioners refused to confirm him. Former
Councilman Alma Jackson has also beer
a candidate, but It is understood his con
firmation cannot be- brought about. Ont
or two Of the commissioners are favorable
to men who would like the job. One Of
these possibilities is a bricklayer and thu
other is a former member of the fire de.
partment.
All the names ave been talked over BY
the mayor and the board, but no agreement
is In sight yet, and II is now facility ad'
mitted by all concerned that the final sonu,
ton OF the problem is likely to be found
in the naming Of a dark horse. Something
will soon rave to be done, because the
Insurance men are getting FESTIVE under tn,

NEW CANAL SCANDAL BREWS
Learned Fuss Stirred Up over Mars
by Prof. Lowell.
R1GGE LAUGHS AT IDEA
Creighton Scientist Cannot STAND for
the Motion hat They're IrriEat-
ing or SaiIins Boats on
the Planet.

Another canal scandal is brewing. With
the North pole controversy now rather
completely disposed Of, the field OF scien-
tific agitation is about to be occupied with
a rare and learned fuss about the very an
Client n respectable planet Mars. 1t viii.
be Prof. Percival Lowell. director of the
astronomical observatory at Flagstaff,
Ariz., against the field.
A few days ago Prof. Lowell added the
last component 10 the gentle slmmerlnG
cauIdron OF controversy by announcing the
discovery OF another canal" on Mars.
The simmering promises to come to a rear
boiling temperature soon. This canal. the
astronomer-ehampion OF a Marian body
polite, says, is neatly fringed with dark
strips showing to his keen eye the unmls-
taxable evidences Of vegetation. In other
words the Marian reclamation service has
opened up a new irrigation project for set
Element, according to its terrestrial press
agent at Flagstaff.
Father william F. Rigge. Creighton Unit
versity's astronomer, smiled lndulgently
when he was approached about this new
Lowell discovery.
The replies he made indicate that the
opinion OF the scientist is that Prof. Lowell
is seeing things"
Comedies His Honesty.
Il dom question his honesty a Bit" said
Father Risge, but the general opinion OF

impression OF canals on Mars from the
imperfect observation Of a series OF spots

Made HMoonshine" Butter.

Postal authorities and internal reve-
nue. officials are looking for two men
who conducted a "moonshine" butter
factory in Wichita for over ten days
and who have flown. The men repre-
scented to grocers of the city that they
were starting a new 7O-cow dairy and
expected to be engaged in making
fancy country butter for the better
class of customers who would pay
good prices. They obtained numerous
orders on condition that their product
was what they represented it to be.
They also used the mails to induce
grocers in other cities to buy their
product Then they went to making
butter, but they didn't make it in a
dairy. They manufactured it in a
back room of a building GENERALLY To-
Gated in the city. They used oleomar-
garine, butter color and a few other
ingredients. The product looked good,
and certainly sold well, for they had
all they could do to supply the de-
mand. They left town suddenly be-
cause some grocers got wise.
