MERCHANTS COME
HERE TO BUY STOCK
Business Men from Three
States Are in Omaha for
Business and Pleasure.
THE FRUITIoN OF ONE IDEA

Merchants from at least three
states, Nebraska, South Dakota and
Iowa, were in Omaha Monday paving
over the stocks of goods in the
wholesale houses selecting Their
stocks Tor spring and summer. More
merchants from more states will tol-
low today and by Wednesday
there will probably be thousands OF
strangers III the city laying i'll their
supply OF goods tor the spring and
summer trade.
For this is Merchants Market week
in Omaha
Inns Merchants Market week Is
an Omaha institution. 1t was born
IN the active DraIns OF such chaps as
Joe Ncliey, koy Byrne, Ben ualla-
ghcr ana other wholesalers here.
4cs, II is growing with growing
Omaha, these icluws a few years
ago conceived the idea OF inviting all
the merchants twice year, once III
the spring and once III the tall. 10
come to Omaha during one partlCu-
lar week 10 do their summer and
winter buying, respectively. lhe
idea was mat III this way the whole
salers could prepare better with
necessary statesmen and demonstra-
tors to give them the best possible
service, and al the same time the
wholesalers could thus club together
and during this one week prepare
some elaborate SPECIAL entertainment
Tor the visitors and their families dur
Ing the evenings alter business hours.
Realizing a Hope.
No sooner was the idea thought OF
than II was executed, and Tor several
years now, the institution OF Mer-
chants Market week has been
steadily growing success. 1t has
drawn merchants from dozen states
TO buy goods. 1t draws them IRON as
tar south as Arkansas some years,
aud from as Tar west as Idaho at
times.
Inc morning trains brought in
good sprinkllng OF merchants from
all directions and all throughout the
day they kept arriving. The hrst
corners were busy at Inc wholesale
houses, getting IN their orders tor
goods, Tor the first arrivals OF the
nrst DAY are usually ANXIOUS to get
their buying Out OF the way before
the rush oI the second, third and
fourth days comes, Three special
entertainments are planned. Monday
evening at the Commercial club, All
informal reception; tuesday evening,
a dinner party, theater party and d
midnight dance at the Hotel Rome,
and Wednesday night, supper dance
and tree PRIZE distribution at the

ON JAIL FEED FEUD
Rule that County Board Shall

if Shall Boss Him.
NEUTRAL ON FOOD ISSUE

II won't allow that man Dudley to
step inside that jail as an employe
no matter what happens"
When Sheriff Mike Clark made
this statement recently little did he
reck, perhaps, that keeping literally
TO his word might lead him, the high
and mighty custodian of the public
morals, INTO the very Jail from which
he would debar that man Dudley
For the district Judges have made
public their findings alter their probe
into the ieud between the sheriff
and the county commissioners. And
the judges decree that the old jail
rules shall be adopted and enforced,
plus thc rule d he plus lcglsla-
lIon is a diplomatic attempt TO dove
tan the differences eNlStant between
Clark and the commissioners. 1t pro-
vides that the county commissioners
shall appoint competent and trust
worthy attendant Tor the jail elevator,
and after his appointment that midi
vldual shall be under the exclusive
direction OF the sheriff, except when
the elevator Is making trips to and
from the juvenile court.
Clark's Dilemma.
The decision Of the judges places
Sheriff Clark IN the dilemma OF cloak
lng ms hostility TO Mi, Dudley or
hgnlng HIM, the county COMMISSION
ers ana the district Judges. II Is al
most d certainty that Mr.. Dudley Will
be the choice Of the commissioners
Tor jail elevator man.
Inc district Judges agree in the
statement that II was very diihcult to
reconcile the differences between the
sheriff and the county board. They
SAID that the situation requires that
the sheriff and the board exercise mu-
tual regard for the public service.
lncy concur III the bcIlci that the
statutes undoubtedly mean that the
sheriff should have exclusive control
OF the JAIL and its means OF mgress
and egress.
The Judges held aloof from the
squaDble ABOUT the purchase OF sup
pies tor the Jail inmates and merely
remark that the laws here seem 10
conflict, One provision states that
the sheriff shall ME ali itcmized list OF
TODD expenditures before the state
auditor. Another law states that said
list shall be filed with the county
board tor sanction. The judges with"
hold opinion on this phase OF the teud
arguing that this Is not a test case
and therefore no opinion should be
handed down H. advance OF lcga

BIRTH OF A NATION.

While the European countries have
been clutching at one another's
threats. in a life and death struggle, a
new nation has been born in Asia. 1t
is the Kingdom of Hejaz, formerly
Arabia, and for hundreds of years,
under the dominion of the sultan of
Turkey. The ruler of the new king
dom is a lneal descendant of the
Prophet. 1t has been recognized by
all of the Entente allies.
The Arabic papers say that the
formation of the Kingdom of Hejaz.
with the Grand Sheriff as it's king,
together with it's recognition by all

point of view, it means the resurrec-
! ton of an Arab state and the indie
pendence of the Arab nation after
centuries of .subordination to the
| Turks Next, from the religious point
of view, it possibly. if not probably,
means a new orientation for the 200 =
100000 souls protesting the Islamic
faith
The Hejaz is the birthplace of Is

sacred cities. Medina and Mekka, to-
ward which millions of people direct
their faces in their daily prayers. Its
population is estimated at 100000,
of which 100000 are city-dwellers.
while the rest lead a nomadic life.
There are four important cities in
the HejaZ; Mekka, which gave birth
to the prophet. has 10000 inhabi-
tants; Jidda, the port of Mekka, is
the most important port of the coun-
try; Medina, the city to which the

CHICAGo's BOND STORE.

The time soon will be here for the
annual issuance of city bonds to pay
for this years paving. The attention
of the city commissioners is called
to the fact that Chicago is marketing
her municipal bonds. at an interest
rate of but 4 per cent. Possibly this
could be done here.
When the annual tax rate is taken
into consideration a per cent bond
is practically as good an investment
as per cent real estate mortgage.
In Chicago a bond market is main
tanned in the city hall. For two years
the city has financed her needs in
this way.
During the last twelve months,
about 100000 of the city per
either over the counter or, by mail. to
customers in widely separated parts of
the country.
Chicago's need for borrowed money
is limited, and its bond store has
found it necessary to restrict the
amount of bonds sold to one customer
to $1,000
All sorts and conditions of men and
women come to the bond counter,
hand over their money and go out
with the engraved paper, which is the
city's promise to pay interest on the
face amount of the bond at per cent,
and to return the money at a specified
time.
The bonds are sold in denomina-
tions of 500. $500 and $1,000. They
are serial in character-that is, a
buyer may choose enc cue in one
year, due in two, three, five or ten
years. according to his desire. At any
time the city will buy hack bonds at
par-the price paid by the customer.
Topeka's credit is as good as that
of Chicago, and there probably is as
much idle money here in proportion
to population.
