THE LIVE STOCK MEN.
THEY BAND TOGETHER FOR MU
TUAL PROTECTION.

Live Stockmen Organize.
Nearly all ne freight officials and
other prominent attaches of the Omaha
' lines , says the Omaha Bee , are in at
tendance at the Denver meeting of
live stockmen. When they return tney
are likely to find that Nebraska live
stock matters have taken * a rather in
teresting turn during their absence.
They will learn that the live stockmen
of this state have been banded to
gether for their mutual proteption.
The organization of the Nebraska
Live Stock Shippers association m
this city was discussed in rather ani
mated fasnion about local railway
headquarters. In the absence of most
of the leading officials their assistants
and chief cierics decuned to state just
wnat move the railroads would make
regarding the new organization that
is to demand better service for the
stock trains o. the state. One railroad
was representee at me afternoon meet
ing of t..e live stockmen , Traveling
Freight Agent Tyrell of the Missouri
Pacific being in attendance , but at the
evening session the railroads were not
represented at all.
Speaking of the new association one
railroad man connected with a promi
nent Omaha line says : "We shall
meet the new organization and its rep
resentatives in every spirit of fairness ,
but I doubt if they will obtain any
concessions for the stockmen that the
stockmen could not have obtained for
themselves. So far as poor train ser
vice is concerned I believe that every
read in the state is giving the stock
men just exactly as good service as the
business wm warrant. There are
bound to be complaints arise , and
when properly presented these are in
variably attended to and the difficulty
adjusted. I don't believe the stocii-
men of Nebraska have any great kick
coming , but we shall do what we can
to help out the new association and
promote the best interests of its mem
bers. "
It is learned that the railroads are
not the only insuuiLions the stockmen
are after , for relations between a
number of commission houses and the
live stockmen are to be investigated
by the new association. The kick
against the commission men is that
the live stock men have no security in
their dealings with the commission
men , and several stock men are said
to have lost all the proceeds of some
big sales through transactions with
dishonest commission men. Said one
stockman : "There are plenty of hon
orable commission men and some of
them are my best friends. They ' .
wouldn't harm anybody if they could.
But there are a lot of dishonest fel
lows in the same business. I could
write out a list of 300 stockmen who
have been buncoed out of their money 1
I13' dishonest commission men. Now
here's the point. These commission
men ought to be compelled to give p.
bond for security when they do business - (
ness with a stockman and handle his .
cattle. The stock yards company (
makps the commission " firms put up }
p. $10,000 bond before it will let thfem
. that , but the
do business. Not only i
stock yards company insists that these (
bonds shall be guaranteed by a reli- (
able trust company. The company will
rot takp any individual bond. Now ii'
the stock yards romnnny has this
much protection against f.ho dishonest
commission men. whv should not the
sfnfkman , who risks a great deal more
with the commission man. have the
Fame amount of protection ? I am in
favor of this association taking such
stens as " " 'ill comnel tne commission
r en to nut un rood , snfe bonds before
they can handle any live stock at all.
There is no rcas " " 1 whv the stockman
should not be protected just as much ,
or more , than the stock yards com
pany. "
An Old Xcbraskan Dead.
Death has claimed Jon Lavigne ,
one of the pioneers of this county , says
an Auburn dispatch. He died at the
advanced age of 78 years. He settled
on the farm which has ever since been
his heme in the spring of the year
1855. ne was of French aescent , and ,
though his whole life had been among
Americans , he never learned to speaic
English plainly. In 1S59 and 1S60 he
went across the plains in the vicinity
of Denver and for about three years
was engaged in store eening and also
had mining interest. While here he
made his stake. From the time of his
return to this county in 18G4 to about
the year 18S0 he was the best known
man in the county in legal circles of
the county. He had in his life time
bee" interested more often as plaintiff
or defendant in the district courts of
this and Otoe county than any other
man that has ever resided here.
Fremont dispatch : Late Saturday
afternoon , while diggmg under a build
ing owned by S. Carlson , corner of
South and K streets , for the purpose of
moving it , some workmen dug up a
nackasre which contained a "gold
brick. " It was wrapped up in several
thicknesses of paner and oilcloth ,
with a leather shawl or package strap
buckled around it. Th2 cloth and
leather were rotten and it had evident-
lv lain in the erround for several years.
For a short time the finders thought
thev had struck something better than
a Klondike claim. The "brick" was
nuite heavy and apparently genuine ,
but their hones were rudely dasheu to
the ground when a jeweler pronounced
the thing a fake.
Interested in Irx-lsration.
Columbus dispatch : To those inter
ested in irrigation the situation around
Columbus is of interest. The agita
tion here is of two years' standing.
The canal company commenced the
construction of the Great Eastern canal
March 27 , 1896. It is stated that the
ranal when completed will cover over
200,000 acres. Large bodies of land
were irrigated last season with msr-
velons results. Water _ as been sold
in such large' quantities that it is
thought the amount obtainable for this
reason will be purchased before the
irrigation season opens.

WANT NEW TRIAL.
Curdles for -irrctt Scott IMmatlaflod vrlth
Supreme Court Decision.
Lincoln dispatch : The attorneys for
the bondsmen in the Barrel Scott case
have filed a motion for a rehearing in
the supreme court , there being seven
teen specifications of error cited. They
allege that the court erred In its de
cision upon the liability of sureties
after bond has been filed and approved
and other sureties signed without their'
consent ; and that there was an erro
neous application of the law and deci
sions of courts as to the effect of addi
tional sureties signing the bond after
it had been delivered an filed , without
the knowledge or consent of the prior
sureties. That there was an erroneous
application of the law relative to the
effect upon the sureties when the of
fice held by Scott became vacant by the
failure to approve the bond at the time
required by law. It is also claimed
that the cases cited in support of the
decision were not applicable to the
case at bar , and that tnere is no law
or authority upon which such decision
could be correctly based.
The ninth specification is as follows :
"The answer of Joseph S. Bartley and
other defendants alleges that the
statutes concerning official bonds were
a part of their contract , and they sign
ed said bond with reference to said
statutes. This court holds in case at
bar , that such statute entered into and
became a part of the contract , which
by the signing the sureties endorsed
as their agreement. This being the
law , the case should not have been re
versed. "
Error is claimed in the holdingof the
court that all that the sureties contem
plated when they signed the bond was
that it should be merely delivered to
the county , without regard to the ac
counting or approval of the bond , by
which act of delivery he was to obtain
and hold possession of the office , and
receive and enjoy the fees and emolu
ments thereof ; and that the court erred
in holding that the sureties were
estopped Dy the acts and negligence of
the county board in not requiring the
accounting and not approving the bond
in time. General misapplication of the
law and authorities is also claimed.
A Nott Cattle Disease.
Lincoln dispatch : The Nebraska au
thorities are seriously concerned over
a number of communications from
stockmen in the vicinity of Hooper ,
Neb. , addressed to the governor , com
plaining of a new and fatal disease
among the cattle of that section of the
state. Nothing similar has ever been
seen in Nebraska , and experienced
stockmen assert that the disease is un
like anything they have ever heard of.
All the letters designate the disease as
"foot rot. " Hundreds of cattle have
died recently in that part of the state
of the disease. The feet of the af
flicted animals turn black in a night ,
and within twenty-four hours begin to
peal and crumble away until nothing
but the bone is left. This disintegrates
in from three to five days , and the cat
tle die in great agony , apparently of
blood poisoning. It spreads from
herd to herd in a short time.
Takes Charge of the Reindeer.
Chappell dispatch : Acting Secretary
of War George D. Meiklejohn has ap
pointed A. W. Gumaer , formerly of
Oshkosh , to accompany the govern
ment purchase of reindeer for the
Klondike country. Mr. Gumaer left for
Washington last night and will pro- ,
ceed from there to New York to meet
the reindeer. There w" ' be twenty-
five cars of the deer , eight cars of
lichen and Lapland moss , fifty native
Lapland drivers , and two tourist sleep
ers on the train , and will run as a
government special from New York to
Portland , Ore. Mr. Gumaer expects
to take charge of the deer between the
1st and 5th of February , as that is the
time they are expected to arrive in
New York. Secretary Meiklejohn and
Mr. Gumaer are old school mates.
Fast Trains on the Unrlinsrton.
The Burlington announces a new
special service between Chicago and
Denver. No. 1 will be the westbound
train and No. 6 the eastbeund train.
This service is to begin February G.
The shcedules will be practically the
same as those of the Northwestern and
Union Pacific , inasmuch as there is no
intention on the part of the Burling
ton , it is stated , to d = mora'ize th ° west
ern passenger situation by entering
into a useless contest for supremacy.
No. 1 will leave Chirago at 10 a. m. .
arrive at Omaha at 11:55 p. m. . and
Denver at 1:30 : p. m. the next day.
No. G will leave Denver at 10 ? m.
and reach Chicago at 2:15 p. m. i.ext
day in time for the train for the east
at 3 p. m. and the limited at 5 p. m.
GettingKeady for the Imposition.
The Omaha Street Railway com
pany has placed an order for another
twenty new motors in addition to the
twenty recently ordered , making an ad
dition of forty to the present supply.
Secretary Goodrich F-ys of this pur
chase : "We realize what will be re
quired of us next summer , and are
making every effort to be in position
to handle the crowds easily and com
fortably. Mr. Smitli dunlicated the
December order because it is evident
that more cars will be required , and
now there has been an outlay of $75 , -
000 or $80,000 for cars alone. I suppose
the exposition will cost the company
$200,000. but the public must be accom
modated. "
Having no bridge ncross the Loup

Alliance dispatch : President Per
kins and several of thP directors of the
Burlington passed < " > r the Wyoming
division. General Solicitor Mander-
son. General Manager Holdrege and
Superintendent Phelan were members
of the party. A snecial train of four
coaches conveyed the party west. Their
destination is Deadwood , New Castle

is contemplating some new work con
necting the Black Hills with Denver
either oy the Orin Junction route or

IIUERYING-TIIE WORK
CONGRESS IS RUSHING FOR AD
JOURNMENT.
House ] CoiiHhlcrhifc the Appropriation
Measures "Will Hindi Them Through
Hurriedly At Interval Contested
JCIeetlou Cate.i Will Ho Taken Up and n
Oitotu of Spccclift * Made.
The IJumIim'hs of ConfjrcHH.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 7. It Is prob
able that the program for the house ,
which is to be confined almost exclu
sively this session 'to the consideration
of appropriation bills will be varied
this 'week with the consideration
of a contested election case.
It is the purpose of the house leaders
to keep the appropriation bills to the
front in order to obtain an early final
adjournment , or ' as the alternative
throw the responsibility for delay on
the senate. But after the appropria
tion bill is on the calendar for the
/resent / , the military academy , and it
ihotild not consume more than a few
hours.
It is the intention of the leaders ,
therefore to fill the hiatus this week
with the consideration of the Aldrich-
Plowman contested election cuse from
the Fourth Alabama district. The
elections committee has divided on
this case on party lines and the indi
cations are that the house will do the
same thing and Mr. Plowman will be
unseated.
The members on both sides have
been using the latitude allowed in debate
'
bate extensively in the impending con
gressional campaign this fall and
these are likely to continue indefi
nitely. All the members are keenly
alive to the opportunities to make
political capital for themselves , or
their party and this fact at any time
may upset prearranged programs by
plunging the house into cancerous and
acrimonious political discussion. The
democrats and populists seem to be
directing their assaults against the
republican assertion that prosperity
has returned to the country , so that
all evidence on this point , pro or con ,
is likely to find its way sooner or later
into the conrrepsional record fjr dis
tribution this fall.
The attention of the senate ibis
week will in all probability be dividpd
between the Hawaiian annexation
treaty , appropriation bills and th j
right of H. W. Corbett to a seat in the
senate from Oregon. The treaty will
probably oocupy the greater share of -
attention Monday , but after that time
the committee on appropriations will
claim the attention of the senate for
the Indian appropriation bill , which
it is expected will be reported early
in the week. This bill will provoke
considerable debate and by the time
it is disposed of the committee on
appropriations hope tn have the forti
fications bill foeforp- the senate. Sen
ator Hoar will at the same time press
the Corbett matter upon the attention
of the senate as a mattpr of the higb-
pst privilege and several speeches will
be made on it. It. does not annear
probable , boweve- that a vote will be
reached during this week on the Cor
bett resolution.
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Several Sharp Rallies Cheek the Diiirn-
ward Movement.
CHICAGO , Feb. 7. Last week was
-me of reaction in wheat , the general
tendency of prices being downward ,
though several sharp rallies occurred.
The short interest wbicn had appar
ently been almost eliminated during
the early part of the closing wepk in
January , was increased heavily. Many
longs also realized on their lines. The-
result of the '
week's trading was a nel
decline in Mav of % of a cent and in
July of 2 cents. The close of the
week , however , found the market in n
firmer position. Early in the week
the effect of the heavy realizing of the
week before and on Saturday and on
Monday a decline o. 2Vt cents took
niace in May. Most of ibis was on
Mon/lay. There was n coed deal of
short selling on the theory that the
market was in for a period of mater
ially lower prices and thp markpt was
further weakened by declining foreign
markets and a small visible decrease
in this country. A sharp advarco took
nlace on Tuesday. Sudden develop
ment of strength at Liverpool and
small stocks at that point caused a
general covering movement. Late in
the day prices weakened on a small
world's visible increase , where a de
crease had been looked for. and the
market ruled weak until the close of
Thursday's session , rclievpd at times
bv support from the Leitcr interests.
There was heavy sellin. ? bv longs on
Thursday and Leiter is believed to
have materially increased his May
holdings. Support
from the same
source on Friday , with a good demand
in the northwest for low grades of
wheat for milling on account of scarc
ity of high grades , caused a good rally
and a strong closing. An influentia ' l
factor in Friday's trading was the
Argentine sainments. which were
much smaller than looked for. Tfie
range of May for the week was be
tween 98 cents and 94 % cents , closing
yesterday at 95 % cents.

agent further alleges that many Bul
garians were tortured to death , wo
men and children outraged and as a
result are dying. The agent urgently
demanded the immediate cessation of
oppression , the withdrawal of the mil
itary , the transfer of all prisoners to
Ushub for trial , and the dismissal of
a number of officials. The note
caused a considerable sensation
among the ministers and at the palace.

now living M
I < in Alameda - M
da , Western Canada , before taking up H
their home there visited the country - M
try as delegates. They reported to M
the Government of the Dominion of 1
Canada the result of their observations , M
and from this report extracts have H
been taken , which are published belowr M
"We have visited a number of most • " > , * , M
desirable locations , and are highly * > |
pleased with the country as a whole , |
it being beyond our highest expecta- H
tions. We find here a prosperous and H
well-contented lot of people. They M
have comfortable homes , and their vast H
fields of wheat and other crops in uddl- H
tion to their herds of choice cattle. Indicate - H
dicate prosperity in the full sense of H
the word. In conversation with the H
farmers throughout our trip we learned H
that the majority of them came here H
with very limited means , and some H
with no more than enough to H
bring them here , nnd they arc now H
well-to-do. They all claim that this is M
the only country for a poor man , or j H
one with little means , to .get a start H
and make a home for himself and fam- H
ily. As you are aware , we were a H
little shaky and undecided before leaving - H
ing Detroit , but have determined since , H
that we , with our friends , will make H
this country our future home. It is H
far from being the wilderness we had H
pictured it to be ; it is , instead , a land H
having all the facilities required by j H
modern civilization , such as r.ailroads , H
-markets , stores , churches , schools , etc. , H
in fact , an ideal home for those having |
the future welfare of themselves and H
families at heart. " H
The Messrs. Striovski selected the H
Alameda district , but what they say H
of it applies in a general way to most H
other districts in that vast country. H
They speak of the fuel , which is to be H
had in great quantities , of the water H
that can be had by digging from 10 to H
20 feet , and of the good grazing land H
to be had almost everywhere. There is H
plenty of wood for building timber and H
for fuel , while coal is convenient , and H
sells at low prices at the mines. In \ H
driving through the country they H
passed may fine patches of wild raspberries - H
berries , and say they can speak highly \ H
of their flavor , as they could not resist | H
the temptation to stop and oat. i j H
