South Omaha News. The recent decision of Judge Foster of the United States court at Topcka In declaring that the Kansas City Ltvo Stock exchange as now organized was Illegal and a violation of the Mitt-trust law , caused cccisldcrablc comment at the exchange here yesterday. Members of the exchange appeared loth to talk about the matter principally because It did not concern the yards people hero and becaune It Is thought that the decision ren dered would be reversed when an appeal In a higher court was taken. The opinion pre vails that Judge Foster has misconstrued the rules of the Kansas City cxchccige In that ho Interprets them to bo more arbitrary than they really are. The system of business Is practically the same at both exchanges , although It Is claimed that the rules In vogue here are less radical than these In force at Kansas City , It Is claimed here that membership fees In the Kansas City exchange are now fixed at $2,500 , while the memberships hero arc sell ing for $1.000 , and In cases of transfers as low as J3uO b taken. Commission men hero bold that their or ganization Is not a trust , but merely an association of business men , the object being principally to protect shippers from unprin cipled men who would otherwise frequent the yards. According to members of tbo exchange any shipper has the privilege of selling bis own stock If be eo desires , and every courtesy Is offordcd stockmen who take this method of disposing of their product. For this ono reason , It for no other , the llvo stock exchange of South Omaha cannot , It Is asserted , bo classed fls a trust. Hl'fllNfH til A UK lllH St'lll. Some tlmo ago Thomas J. O'Nell , a notary public , acknowledged a le-aae between Theo dore Volz and Harry Lauffenberg. the owner of the Pioneer block , for the rent of a room on the ground floor of the bulldlrg. The lease was to mi for one year from May 15 , 1S97 , with the privilege of extension If It was so desired. At the tlmo of the acknowl edgement O'NoIl omitted to affix his seal to the document , thus rendering It useless as far as recording went. Negotiations for the sale of the property have 'been pending for some tlmo past and O'Nell has acted as thu agent of the o\\i er. These negotiations caused Volz to look up his lease end ho discovered the omission. O'Nell was re quested to complete the papers by alfixlng his seal , but he refused , alleging that by so doing lie would Jeopardize the sale of the property. Volz told his troubles to en attor ney , who yesterday afternoon secured from Judge Scott of the district court 41 peremp tory writ of mandamus compelling O'Nell to affix hl.3 seal to the document. When the writ was served O'Nell refussd to comply and Patrick gave notice that he would file an Information with the clerk of the district court and have O'Nell arrested for refusing to comply with an order of one of the district judges.

' A portion of thu stone pavement on Q street along the front of the Armour plant Is being torn up preparatory to removing all of the fire hydrants from the north side of the street to the soiith side.
