COMMERCIAL CLUB SEEKS
TRADE MARK FOR OMAHA
Appropriate Design for a Seal to show
City's industrial Importance
is Wanted.

The Commercial club is in search OF an
idea. It wants a suggestion or two as to a
design for a seal indicative Of Omaha's
importance in the Industrial world. The
Omaha key" met with such unqualified
success that the club wants to adopt the
seal emblem and would like some ideas on
a design.
When L, w Hill was at the corn show In
1903. a reporter for The Bee gave him one
Of the keys. He wore 1t for a long time and
when he returned to the show a year later,
with his father, ]. ]. Hin, the first remark
he made on seeing the same reporter was
Have you another key to the city for me-"
IF a little thing like one Of those keys
could make such an impression on as busy
a man as l.. w. Hin, it must have its
influence" said Commissioner Guild Of the
Commercial club.

The Right spirit.

Edwin CHM, the well known publisher OF
Boston, has set aside 81. 600. 900 for the Dro-
motion OF universal peace.
MT. CHM at a dinner in Boston said re-

Universal peace will come, thanks to
the scientific spirit. The scientific snirit

RUNNERS STARTING
BLOCKS
Have Been Tried Indoors with Great
Success.

"NNA ~ huOON WIN UENHN
Success.
NEW YORK, Feb. l9.-startlng blocks
for the runners Of short dashes may soon
be placed in all the armories and on all
Of the indoor tracks II the Amateur Ath-
letic union authorities can be convinced
that they would be of benefit to the men.
At the recent games of the Irsh-Amerl-
can Athletic club in Madison Square gar
den the managers produced a set of these
blocks for the seventy When James
f. Sullivan, representing the Amateur
Athletic union, saw the new devices he
declared that the blocks might be used,
but that no records would be allowed, be-
cause the blocks were IAN artificial de-
vice"
Some years ago the hammer throwers
decided that wire handles in place of the
wooden ones would insure greater safety
and better performances. They substi-
tuted small steel wire handles, and soon
broke all previous records. In a short
time they had improved the event to such
an extent that it became one of the fea-
lures of all athletic events.
On the out-of-door tracks the men al
ways dig deep holes at the start. These
holes allow the runners toes to go below
the level Of the track, and a splendid
purchase is procured for the ball of the
hinder foot. There is seldom any slipping
at the start of such a race, while, on the
indoor tracks, which are in most cases of
hard, smooth wood. there is seldom an
even start. The men have no grip OF the
floors, and as they slide about at the
take-offs, 1t is a rare thing TO see the
squads leave their marks evenly. Some
times the best OF runners slip and fall
upon the floors at the very start of the
races, but with the new starting blocks
there would be an even show given every
runner. In all OF the Buffalo armories
the blocks are in use, and the runners
who have competed on those tracks insist
that they have always been sure of a fair
start.
Now the sprinters here are insisting that
some men pull tendons of their ankles
by starting on the glass-like floors. They
ask that they be given starting blocks in
order to avoid unnecessary chances of in
jury, The blocks set at an angle on flat
boards would be so constructed that they
could be moved about and adjusted to the
exact positions required by the runners.
The Amateur Athletic union has been
asked TO look into the proposition. and II
Is thought by several Of the coaches thai
the union will decide to give the athletes
the blocks for all OF the sprints which
will be held indoors.

a substitute in every position, Minnesota
found an easy opponent in Nebraska last
night and experienced no difficulty in
sSlloping away from the CornhuskeIs by a

Nebraska locke like a formidable op-

second half the entire first team went in
FOR Minnesota and after that the outcome
was never i'm doubt.
Miserable passing and wTetched Guarding
characterized the play on both sides, Ne
Draska at times showed flashes OF brilliant
work, but this was always lacking at
critical times. The work Of Perry at for
ward and Wood at guard was OF a high

LOSS TO TRADE
BY KINGS DEATH

London, May 2s.-(Special 1T Is now
possible to make some estimate of the
terrible loss which the death of King
Edward has inflicted on trade in London.
The big store proprietors say that the
loss to the West End alone will amount
to about seven million dollars. The chief
sufferers are, of course, the big drapery
stores in Oxford street and Regent street,
and the small dressmakers and millners
in Bend street
First few days the rush to buy black
goods swamped the market and many
fashionable women did not move out Of
their homes for many days owing to the
fact that they couldn't get the clothes
they required. But the rush to buy means
nothing to the storekeepers, because two
black gowns will serve a woman who
would have bought dozen colored dress
es, and the stores had laid in an extra
and dazzling supply of colored goods in
the belief that this was to be the most
brilliant season for many years past
The canceling Of balls, dinner parties, re-
ceptions, race parties, means untild loss
es to tradesmen of all classes, and more
especially to caterers and florists. The
hotels will suffer severely. and already
many advance bookings of apartments
have been countermanded. At this time
Of the year various regiments give their
annual dinners at the West End hotels.
There are usually between thirty and
forty Of these functions. and each dinner
represents a sum of $1,000 in trade to a
hotel. 1t Is not expected that the EPSON
race meeting will be very seriously af-
fected, as the crowd that goes to- the
derby isn't the crowd which goes to AS
cot. The Ascot meeting will be a terri
BILE frost, as although the Royal Enclos-
ure will be open the Royal Pavilion VIII
be closed. and. OF course. no member of
the court circle will be present.

Banks and Trust Comp,
MINISTER USES
THE NOBLE ART

Edinburgh, May ESPECIAL 1.-The
Rev. James Ferguson, parish minister
at Corstorphine. near Edinburgh, had an
exciting experience recently on his way
home from Gogar, where he had been
conducting the evening service. He was
about a mile outside of Corstorphine when
he was accosted by man who asked
him what the time was. Mr.. Ferguson
replied that he thought 1t would be about
ten o'clock.
The man. who had come close up. now
sprang upon the minister and seized him
by the throat. The clerical collar. how
ever prevented the assaialant from get
ting an effective grip, and Mr.. FERGUSON,
who is of strong and stout build, defend
ed himself plucSily and successfully. With
a couple OF well directed blows he felled
his assailant,
Fearing the appearance of an accom-
plice Mr. Ferguson hurried off. and on
his arrival he communicated with the po-
lice.
In an interview Mr.. Ferguson said he
had in his possession q. goodly sum Of
money. and was also wearing a gold
watch and chain. II did not learn the
noble art Of tho university for noth-
ing" added the reverend gentleman.

first time in IL years the guillotine was
used in Switzerland when Matthias Muff.
a farmer, aged IS years, was decapitated
in Lucerne prison, In the presence of the
local authorities and a number of doc
tors.

look at Mount Pilatus. which was covered
with snow, and then firmly walked to the
guillotine, which was worked by an am
ateur Rheinfelden. The official report
states that the execution lasted 40 Sec
onds. Muff welcomed death, for by put
ting his signature to a petition for par
don to the grand council the sentence

did not wish to live. His wife's tears
proved unavailing.

CONTINUED DROP
IN WHEAT MARKET
May Option Declines Gradual
ly Under Selling
CLOSE rs AT BOTTOM
able Weather in the BELT and Closes
Lower-Oats and Provisions
Also Close Lower

Chicago, May 2S.-A little group of tall
enders gave up the fight for the May
option in wheat, and sold out in driblets
all the way down to 96c, sheer drop of
SIC from last nights figures. Because of
poor buying support new crop futures
finished 5sc to 1sc@Ac down. Corn closed
nc to &c off and oats 1c to 15sc. Last
quotation for provisions were unchanged
at 271ac lower.
Discrimination to stand out over two
holidays at the new low levels had much
to do with the remarkable lack of activ-
ity Then, too fine rains all over tho
Canadian northwest and the Dakotas,
further showers for final filing of the
winter wheat southwest under a general
warming up of temperatures were far
from encouraging any symptom of bull
ishness An official call for 1000 more
harvest hands than were required last
year in Kansas was also out of line with
short crop prophecies. The northwest re-
ported country sales of wheat very lib
eral and the elevators hedging pur-
chases.
About the only important item of the
day from bull standpoint was the sale
of 100000 bushels of cash wheat here.
One local milling concern bought 100000
bushels of this total. Foreigners covered
some short wheat here today. The mar
ket started out with a little show of
strength, due in the main to purchases
by interests until recently credited with
being long. But pressure from evening
up of contracts so as to be prepared
for the holidays started decline, which
continued with but slight Interruptions
the rest of the day.
For new crop futures the close was
fairly steady, however, with September
showing a net loss of bd1c. The range
for that option was from 911sc to 93c, and
the last price 9l1sG91ssc. May closed at
the bottom figure reaching CSC.
Corn was weak because the warmer
weather and more favorable growing
conditions was expected to increase the
movement from the interior during the
week Cash interests were free sellers of
the new deliveries in particular. Septem-
Der ranged from 573zc to 5Ss4c and closed
Nc down at 57Nc. The cash market also
was weak. No. Q yellow closed at 57110
5slac.
In oats there was general liquidation
by longs, with the most pressure on Sep
tember That month huctuated between
85hc and 3sss@9etsc. closing with 1@1Rc
decline at 36A@36&c.
Although provisions were higher early
on the lighter run of holdings here and
west, weakness in the grain list and
some consequent realizing by longs
caused an easing off later. Pork at. the
close was zoe to 271ac lower, and lard 90
71ac Ribs were unchanged to 2hc lower.
There will be no grain market Monday,
Memorial day.
