Women Office Holders in Nebraska

From the Omaha Bee.
 Forty-four women hold the important office of county superintendent of schools in the state of Nebraska, thus enjoying what was long considered the special privilege of men as co officeholding in the great field wherein the publieNschools exercise their influence. These women officeholders draw salaries ranging from 5000 to $1S0O year. the latter amount being drawn by Superintendents Jessie B. Prytle of Gage county and Mrs. E. B. o. Williams of Saunders county. Su- perintendents Mary E. Foster of Cass and Abbia M, Newberry of Knox draw S1400 a year and h get $500. Eight are paid a per diem of not less than S5 for all time actually given to the work in the sparsely4 settled counties. That these women are successfully discharging the duties deyolving on a county superin- tendent is proved by the fact that many of them have been reelected from two to four times by the voters.

The rank and file of operators in the stock market are sore and dissatisfied over the status of speculation in Lehigh Valley and Reading. These two stocks have been boomed by every artince known in Wall street, and the public gem erally participated. It is true. also. tha. a great many professionals lent their as- sistance to the movement. Only a small percentage of the "Wisenheimers'' of Wall street made q dollar in the bull cam paigns in the two stAelks named Tine profits appear to have gone to tho syndi- cate engineering the deals. Unless ap- pearances are deceptive, the public has been landed with the goods at hiph prices There Is still endless chatter about fhe great things which Reading is going to do In the way of separating itself from it's coal lands and it's control of the Jersey Central railroad. Everybody seems to be excited over the impending developments, all of which are denied by those who have the actual command of the situation In- cidentally in this connection, 1t may be remarked that a well grounded report is ahoat that George F.

 The management of the Consolidatea. Gas company of New York is praying that it might tf relieved from the embarrass- ment of too smany friends.

Tic campaign was rather nejoyable for time, but unfortunately it attracted the attention of the Black Horse Cavalry" and "sharpshooters' at Albany. Big Tim" Sullivan one of the most adroit pol iticians in New York has introduced bill in the state senate to reduce the price of gas from 80 cents per 1000 feet to 70 cents. That move spells trouble for the Gas com pany and it is again pulling itself under cover and trying to hide. The Conson- dated Gas company is a wonderful indus trial combination, is giving remarkably satisfactory and efficient service, and Is charges are recognized as being reasona- ble. This aggregation of desirable qual- ities does not impress the Albany states men half as much as the knowledge that there is great big wad of undivided profits in the treasury of the company

STOCK MARKET HAS
 AGAIN GONE STALE
Big Dealers in "Apprehen-
 sive' State of Mind
GROWING IMPATIENT
Street Is Now Taking Special Interest in Fractional Fight for the Nomination in Repub-
 lican Party
By ". c. NICHOLAS

New York. January 2Z-(Speeial.)-T stock market has again gone stale As Gov. Woodrow Wilson put it, in his de- scription of the feeling of business men with whom he had conversed the big inter- ests are in "a negative and apprehensive state of mind" That puts the case exactly with regard to the stock market situa- tion. The sunshine seems to have been extracted from the market and important people are again resting on their oars and awaiting developments with lily concealed mpatience bordering on anger They are rritated at what they believe to be the stupidity and malice of the politicians. and say that no permanent return of pros perity can be expected until the agitators throughout the country discover that they are hurting themselves and their eonstit- uents in continually hamperng enterprise. Stock market values remain practically stationary, with an apparently growing tendency to reaction. Buying incentive has seemingly departed for everything except bonds,s and the banking interests of corporate obligations, while capital is still inclined that way. The stock list barely holds it's own, although in quite a number of the standard issues miscelan- eous investors keep the market fairly well cleaned up. They are looking to dvi- dend returns, and as long as they cannot earn income in general business ventures they are obliged to put their money into securities. These investments may Oe temporary or permanent, depending on the course of events.

the solvent portion of the population to a sense of imminent danger. A statement issued this week shows that the city debt Is larger than that of the national goy- einment, and 'it is growing every day. The annual interest charged has reached a fig ure in excess of Si0000,000 a year, and the municipal debt has crossed the billion dol lar mark. Taxation has become q crush ing burden on property. and values ont side of the zone of greatest business az tiVity are reacting. Holders of maturing mortgages on real estate will give bor- rowers almost any terms they want IF they will renew. There is very great TO- luctance on the part of insurance com panies and other heavy lenders to fore close on this class Of indebtedness Fore closures, if they were 10 become general, would reveal to the world the facts of a really desperate situation. Manifestiy such exposure is to be postponed as long as possible.

The boom in the copper metal market has subsded, and the same is true of the speculation in copper shares. The cam paign has evidently been dsappoint- ment to the big manipulators in this spe- cialty, and the whole country is being filled with publicity tips to buy the copper stocks. It is given out fatly that Amal- gamated Copper and Utah are to be boomed 10 points forthwith. Experienced people are letting the stocks alone. The tips are felt to be loaded"

The market as yet only dimly feels the effect of the tariff agitation in Washing ton As the debate on pending schedules becomes warmer and tho statesmen try to explain the meaning of the proposed cuts. traders and investors will be very likely to wake up to the possible conse- quences of the proposed reductions in du- ties. Mr Carnegie has stated that the Steel Corporation can get along very nicely under absolute free trade. The ir- dependents, with almost as much capital invested as the Steel Corporation and giv- ing employment to as many men, if not more know full well they cannot fare as well and that they win have to make heavy sacrifices, either in income to stockholders, or wages to employees. As this fact sinks into the understanding of Wall street the effect on Steel stocks can hardly fail to be damaging. Thus far the tariff issue has been practically ignored as a market factor. although there has undoubtedly been very material liquida- tion by important inside interests on that account.

 Just now Wall street is deeply interested in the faetional fight in the republican party for presidential nomination. It is looking forward with amusement, not un- mixed with apprehension, to the develop ments of the Roosevelt campaign to side track MT. Taft and the feeling is grow ing that whatever may be the result as. between the two men in convention, tho effect in November will be favorable to the democratic ticket provided one is placed in nomination which will command re- spect and confidence. Wall street is mighty indifferent at this writing as to which party wins at the polls. very de- cided change in sentiment may take place between now and autumn. but al the pres ent moment the street Is signally uncer- tain. although very much interested in the political evolution. The big men of Wan street and vicinity feel that they are going to get the worst of it which ever way the cat jumps, and they cannot see that they will benefit themselves by geu- ting worked up over which cat Is to do the scratching. There is, however, deep seated distrust of MT. Roosevelt, and a quiet though general expression of the wish that if he should be nominated some conservative man like Harmon run against and beat him in the voting. They would like to see some such proposition tried out, and the public given chance to voice it's real views. Nobody would be greatly surprised hereabouts if the democratic ticket were to be Harmon and Hearst. Whatever may be MT. Hearsts expressions before the multitudes, there is feeling that he is in reality very much safer man than he would have the minimizing crowd believe. He is a very rich man and has a wide diversity of sub stantial Investments, whose success de- bends on prosperity and permanency of popular confidence.

HASH POISON To 125.
Veterans at National Military Home
Near Leavenworth, Kan, Become
Ill After breakfast.


Near Leayenworth, Kan, Become
Ill After Breakfast.
Leavenworth, Kan.-One hundred
and twenty civil war veterans who
partook of hash at breakfast at the
National Military Home, south of this
city, and suffered ptomaine poison
ing are all on the road to recovery,
and no deaths are anticipated, but for
a time 1t was thought that wholesale
fatal poisoning would result.
No veterans were taken to the hos
pital, all being treated in the barracks
but surgeons and assistants from the
hospital were kept moving from bar
racks to barracks administering ep-
som salts.
Eighty gallons of hash were made
for breakfast, but only about 1875 of
the 1000 men ate the hash. Others
sa wthat it had an i'll effect on their
companions and did not eat it.
DR.. Fyrer, chief surgeon, is author
ity for the statement that he himself
"ate enough for four men," and suf-
fered no i'll effects
There is no doubt that it was pto-
maine poisoning" he said, "but where
it came from is mystery" AS the
veterans refer to hasn as mystery

BIG RUN CAUSES
PRICES TO DROP
CATTLE MARKET TURNS
WEAK AFTER BIG ARRIVALS
biggest Run Of livestock Ever Re-
corded In Market at Portland
Everybody Ships ut Once.
(From Mondays Journal.)
Small Loss Is Forced.

With the greatest run of cattle at
North Portland the market turned
weak and closed about 15c to 25c low
err than Saturday. This small price
concession Is an indication that hold
ing of killers are not so heavy as an
ticipated. At the same time hogs
dropped sc.
By far the greatest bunch of live
stock that has ever entered the local
market was reported in at North
Portland today. There was" total
of so carloads available for the trade
this morning. The shipments consist
ed principally of cattle. OF these go
cars arrived. The remainder were 8
cars of hogs and IL cars of sheep.
For the first time in a very long
time California has started to ship
cattle to the Portland market. The
trade there had found 1t Improbable
to send stock in this direction hereto
fore this season and practically all Of
the supplies have been going to mar
kets in southern state. The shipment
today consisted of eight loads. The
stock came from Grazelle and was
sent forword by Goodale & Cassidy
who always try the Portland market
whenever prices here are right.
While the big bunch or stuff that
came forward today naturally caused
some weakness and fractional price
loss, the showing of prices was good
in view of the record movement Most
of the stuff that came forward was
unexpected, therefore caught the trade
by surprise. That the big buyers
knew nothing of this is indicated by
that fact that the Union Meat COM
pany was recently forced to go out in
to the country and purchase stock
direct, through stockyard represen-
tative. This cattle was purchased at
$6.25, but the same class of stuff
could be secured for less in the yards
today, owing to the huge offerings
All Ship Mt Once.
The shipment OF so much cattle to
the local market today comes as a re-
suit of the recent improvement in the
situation here. The trade has been
famished for good cattle for some
time, and while this class OF stuff is
almost always in demand at good pri-
ces, the greater movement will likely
affect the cheaper stuff
Shipments into the stockyards to-
day include supplies from practically
all sections west OF the Rocky noun
tains that usually come to this mar
ket.

There was weaker feeling in the
hog trade at North Portland today.
Together with the very liberal lines
In other lines, there was a very good
showing of swine. A total of 804
head were received for the day. A
week ago no arrivals were shown in
this line.
Sheep Trade is Easier.
Much easiness was showing In sheep
market prices as a rule today, al
though in the better class of stuff an
advance of 10c was forced in some
instances. The market for lambs
bears the brunt of the pressure, in the
mutton yards.
With offerings for the day showing
a total of 1852 head, compared with
none week ago, the trade was get
ting about all the sheep and lambs ii
needed.
