10 NEBRASKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY MOBNTiv'Cr, DECEMBER Lincoln. Nr FACTS ABOUT LINCOLN Lincoln's wholesale business has received a permanent boost by readjustment of railroad rates. It has been placed on a parity with Missouri river points in shipments transcontinental, and by a decision of the interstate commerce commission has the best of other cities in Nebraska in commodity rates from the south. As a i i i center it is now receiving the benefits of central location both by voluntary reductions on many commodities by railroeds and by enforced reductions from the a i way commission.

Mr. Swan, formerly assistant physical director of tho Lincoln association, Is a member of tho tenni, Charles English of tho local association is manager of the toam. It is said that the demand for Hod Cross stamps Is heavy, and that since the first publicity was given to their sale In Lincoln the demand has been Increased many fold.

A number of the stores handling them reported short stock last evening greater supplies bad to be distributed. A larger number of the retail section stores havo been supplied with thorn nnd the sale from now on Is expected to be much heavier. An oftort will bs made to place them in other stores and In a bank or two today. The flro in the Burlington yards which destroyed tho house Sunday night caused a loss estimated at 5400 to tho structure, and $200 to tho machinery therein. The of tho house was not burned sufficiently to cause It to tumble In.

No cause for the trouble can bo ascribed by Burlington men. No fire had been kindled In tho stoves In the house for thirty-six hours nt the time of the iilarm. It Is thought that tramps had crawled into the building for the night that matches struck by thorn had started the trouble. Icicles weighing from ono hundred pounds nuns suspended from city hall gutters on tho south side yesterday until late in the nfterooon and pedestrians. unsuspecting walked the danger they under them.

Tho city can undoubtertly get a bid at 4 per cent if it tries, but not. when It says It will allow refund- Ing at 4 1-2 per cent." Alderman TVhltrnore has a plan for th's improvement of street number- Ing on houses. He would have number placed on residences hereafter not only to bear the number of the location but tho street designation as well.

For he would have such- legends as this on "1736 Peach." "1421 "936 South 12th." He points out that this would be a vast aid to strangers who may be seeking a certain location. Such persons now have to secure the street name from the signs of the city Improvement society on street corners, and hardly half these signs remain. Mr. vThitmore will not Introduce an ordlnanca compelling this designation. but win place large cards in the Commercial club and In the city hall call- Ing attention to his plan, and will ask the city engineer to recommend it when he grants building permits.

NY one now having a. number tinder the olrl designation will be asked to change unless he wishes to do so. Councilman O. W. Moier has written the following letter to Prof.

Street Commissioner T. Henaley has been Instructed by Councilman Bauer of tho street nnd grades committee to notify nil persons who hare shoveled snow off tliolr buildings into the alleys to clean this mass ojjt at and If they do not obey to cause their nrrost.

It Is said that where business blocks are located on both sides of and their owners have endeavored to lighten the strain on tho roofs by shoving tho snow into tho alloys, these narrow thoroughfares arc filled to a depth of several fee.t.

Thoso re-pro- neutntivos pointed out i tho trne- tlon company has cleared Its tracks, throwing the snow on either side. Merchants have shoveled off their sidewalks tardily but surely and tho snow now lies In the gutters. This mnkos a foot or more of snow on street nnd adjoining streets which projects far above the curb In places that should a rain or a sudden thaw come on basements cannot help but bi flooded.

You can't afford to neglect the advantage offered you in our clothes, if you want to be sure that you are dressed correctly. They are ahead of everything on every point where clothes can be tested for merit; in style oi design and model, in quality of the all-wool fabrics, in thorough tailoring and finish, there is none which can be compared with them.

William Exline was held as aiding'' in the destruction of property, but charged with assault.

The bonds were furnished by W. E. Jones, and the men were allowed their liberty pending- the trial. Christirfas shopping: has now begun In earnest, and the delay caused by the severe weather IB at an end. Merchants report that up until the end of last week.trp.de for thfi week was below normal because of the weather, but the abatement of the storm permitted a heavy trade Saturday.

The volume of business handled Saturday heavy in all of tho stores, and in some tho trade was a.ll that could be well handled. The Saturday trade brought up the volume of business and made the week show xip well as compnral with, a year ago. J. E. Miller said the trade of his store for last Saturday wns 20 per crent greater than for the corresponding day a year ago.

H. Rudge said his firm had had a heavy day's business on Saturday and thought that the trade for the week was some greater than for the corresponding last year. Mr. Herpol- shelmer said that volume of business for tbo past week was below that of their-trade of a year ago. This he thought was tiue to the condition of tho roads, making it hard for the fnr- mvrs to get Into town.

Considerable of their trade, he said. Is farm trnde. clothing stores report a little less business during last week than for thy period a year ago. The Saturday business was heavy -with them a.lso. Merchants expect a heavy holiday business this season, especially if the weather Improves or does not get a.uy wow.

They report that quite a heavy proportion of their business is from the farmers and residents of the neitrn- borlng towns, nnd with the ronds Improved so as to make traveling less rUfllcult the volume of business during the next two weeks will greatly In- rrense.

FROM 7.AST EVENING'S 3TB1VS. L. H. Cleveland, the hack driver. is charged with violating the driving ordinances, was in police court and was released subject to call, as the witnesses were not present.

Will and Roy Gant, the two colored boys who were arrested charged with having set tire to a hay stack near the residence of Bishop Bonacum. were released from county jail and will appear in court next Friday and tell Judge Frost about It. Sheriff Hoagland went out to Wahoo and In the evening lie delivered at the Congregational church a talk on "The Increase of Crime: Parental "Responsibility: the Juvenile Court." The address had been well advertised the house was crowded. The Congregational people at Wahoo are having series of Sunday evening talks by laymen. Senators Brown and Eur- kett have addressed them.

The' usual motion for a new trial has been filed by tha Gering brothers of Plattsmouth the case where a federal court jury recently found them indebted to J. M. Leyda. trustee for the Henry Herold creditors, to the amount of $3,200. They have r.lso moved for judgment in their favor, notwithstanding- the verdict.

Neither motion has yet been decided. The one asking new trial criticises the instructions of Trial Judge W. H. Munger on a number'of grounds. One alleged error wa.s his instruction that the Gerings.

-when turned over his merchandise stock to them, should havo reasonable prudwnt Inquiry to flnd out whether or not Herold other debts which would make his act an. illegal preference. Intoxication is not an excuse in this court for crime; it is more' likely to draw the limit of punishment," said Juclge T. C. Munger of th'e federal bench this afternoon as he passed sentence upon Albert J.

Gilson of G-raf- ton. Imposing a fine of $100 and costs for interfering with'the mails by'as- a rural carrier. Gilson 'had just offered a plea of guilty and, by way of extenuation, had told the judge he was drunk when he committed the act. He' did not have the money at hand to pay, and "Judge Munger granted him ten' clays' time to raise it, on penalty being committed to the Lancaster county jail. Harry E.

Green, of McCook, aged twenty, was before the federal court On two indictments, one for prying into the secrets of another person and the second for destroying mail which came into his hands by mistake. The mail was intended for another Harry Green. It was delivered to the de- fenJant on several occasions. He opened the letters and read them but made no effort to get them to the owner, even after he discovered the mistake. Young Green was given a $50 fine and temporarily committed to the Lancaster county jail.

He expected to secure funds by wire during the day so he could pay the fine and be released. If the cash does "not will be taken back to McCook to serve it. out. Health Officer Rohde is already the possessor of many titles, varying from mister to captain. The old directory calls him the "city heal officer," and today he has been christened by his friends a "Doctor of Medicine."
