His Not Changed Hi Name and Siill on the .lob How aggravating type is anyhow when the proof leader fails to do hi" duty in reading the stuff that's print ed in a newspaper. Our apologies are due Snyder-Malone-Cofl'man Co.. prominent live stock commission men of Omaha, on account of a typo graphical error appearing In their advei tisement which has been run ning In this paper the last few weeks, two mistakes in fact which we wish to correct. The initials ;f L. R. Guerin have been printed as C. R , but the worst mistake was that of changing the name of Matt Malone to Mart Ma lone. We do not know whether there is a Mart Malone or not, but we know that Matt Malone who has been doing business on the South Omaha market as a head cattle sales man for the last seventeen yeurs is still on the Job. Matt Malone is known all over the west as a successful cattle salesman and has an unexcelled record and reputation as such. We do not want any of the readers of this paper to get the idea, because of a typograph ical error, that he is not on the Job yet, hence thiB correction and explanation. Weather Report Sept. Max.
