The railroads have been greatly abused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of the people. The great Galveston disaster has , however , reveale-d the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were placed at the dis posal of all those engaged in relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge , committees from every sec tion of the state were furnished trans portation , and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour into Houston and it became a serious question what was to be done with them the-railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and to any point they wished to go. Grand Master An derson informs us that -but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to 'be cared for , and that suffering and distress would have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us , through these columns , to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns , in one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity and distress , and in the other the amount contributed by the little two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the preju dices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprise.

SOUTH OMAHA. tinlon Stock Yards Cattle There was a jjouU oupply of cattle , which fjavo buyer * nn oportunlty to pound prices down a trlllc on such grades aa they did not linacn to want. The better crades of beef stccrn held about steady , though the market was not particularly active , riio common to fair cattle , however , were very slow sale and bids were ROII- erally a little lower. The cow market was in rather unsatisfactory condition today. Buyers started out from the lirat to get their supplies at a lower flgure and they would not buy unless they could set what they wanted for ICES money than they paid yesterday. Some of the choicest bunches of heifers may not ha\'e been much , if any , lower , but aside from a f < rw prize bunches the market was Very slow and lower. Bulls were also a little weak today and the same , was true of flags , but calves did not show much of anv change. The stocker and feeder trade held good and firm , the better grades being picked up In good season ut strong prices. There is ample de mand at the present time for all the stock cattle of good quality and weight that are being received and as a result tlie prices paid arc very satisfactory. Hogs There was another fairly liberal supply of hogs and , us all other points reported a drop in values , the market here oened up T&tglOc lower. The bulk of the early sales went at $3.15 and $5.17 * . the heavcywelghts bringing the higher price. The hogs changed hands quite rap idly at those prices and it soon be came evident that packers all wanted a good many hogs and as a result sellera held their droves at strong prices. Pack ers finally raised their hands and began paying JG.17V& for the general run of medium weights and ? 3.20 for the prime heavy hogs. Sheep There was a good liberal run of sheep for the latter part of the week , but the market was in fairly good shape. Good handyweight stuff was about steady with yesterday , but the heavy sheep v/cre a little slow and lower. For the week they may be called 10@13c lower , and in some "ases more. It is the lighter- weight stuif that seems to bu In the best demand and such kinds are not so much lower for the week. Lambs held about steady today. Colorado stuff sold as high as $5.20 , which is only a trifle lower than what the same kind was selling for the first of the week. KANSAS CITY.

Up to the present time , better conditions for cat tle on the range could hardly have been possible. Such an open winter at this time in January is very unusual , yet it is fortunate that such is the case this winter. The range was not as good ns usual , owing to late rains , and the high price c-f hay has taken hundreds of carloads out of the coun ty. Cattle now , however , are in splen did condition , and on account of the mildness of the winter not so much feeding has been done as is usual. Very severe and long continued storms wi'l have to occuv or cattle will go out of the winter in the usually fine condition. Time are more cattle in the counly t > an ever before , as many ranchnipn held on in preference to selling last lull , when there was a considerable slump in the market prices , hence a shipment of considera ble volume may be anticipated during the season of L901 from the range sec tion of the north Platte valley. WINDSOR iS IN WAITING Town Thronged With Visitors for Queen's Funeral. AvINDSOR , England , Feb. 2. The ancient town of Windsor has under gone a great transformation. Its us ually quiet streets arc thronging with visitors. The decorations and prepara tions for the final scenes continue , but perhaps the stiaugcst matter is the large number of wreaths which con tinue to arrive from all over the world. These aie so numerous that the au thorities are at a loss to Know how to deal with them and again it has been necessary to exclude the public from the cloisters , which are already overflowing. Final arrangements have been made at St. George's Chapel Royal. The pur ple-covered bier stands awaiting its royal burden. Four shields adorn its sides , each with a golden monogram , "V. R. T. " At Frogmore the cover of the great stone sarcophagus has been rolled away. When the queen's body Is laid beside that of the prince consort the stone will be replaced and finally sealed , a marble figure being placed above it. It is expected that some 1,550 persons will be present at the ceremony in St. George's chapel , although only a portion tion will be able to witness the cere mony. The little Prince Edward of Cornwall and York and Princess Eliza beth of Hesse arrived at Windsor cas- ue this afternoon. President McKinley's and Mrs. Gar- field's wreaths came today. Great precautions are being taken to have ambulances in reauiness in the event of a crush of people. Blown Thronsli a Window. SALINA , Kan. , Feb. 2.
