Yesterday afternoon a party composed of President Yost. General Superintendent Vance Lane , Superintendent D. D. Smith of th ? N'ebiaska Telephone com pany and General &ujerlntendent Stephenson of the American Telephone and Telegraph cbrcrany visited the Cudahy phot and in spected the new system before turning It over. The Cudahy Packing company has now the largcat brunch telephone exchange west of Chicago , the system including forty-six oets of Instruments in the different departments of the plant. Twelve of these Instruments can bo used for Inter-communication between the subscribers of the Omaha and South Omaha exjhangcs , and can also be used In connec tion with the thirty-four Instruments that are local to the plant. Many of these Instru ments are located on the desks of the heads of departments so that they can call or be called to tlie telephone without leaving the-lr seats. The apparatus used In Installing this private cxreango Is the very latest. When it Is desired to call the central ofllce It Is simply necessary to remove the hind telephone from thp hook. This action operates a shutter on the switch board In the cential olllcolilch Indicates to the operator that a connection Is wanted. So long as the Instruments .ire being used a signal Indicates as much to the crjcratcr anil all oral supervision of the con nections made ls done away \\lth. it Is esti mated by the Ciidahys that by the use of this private exchange- great deal of time can bo saved , especially by heads of depait- ments. .Stool ; VnrdM roiniuiiiy .Mooting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Union Stock Yards corrixiiiy will ho held at the company's oflices liere on Monday. According to the usual mode of procedure the old directors will flist hold a meeting and wind up their business , preparatory to nuking the annual report to the stockholders. After the reports have been discussed the polls will ba opened and the stockholders will proceed to vote for director ? . Tellers from among the HtockholdcTs are appointed to can vass the vote after the polls have been left cpen a certain nmnbor of hours. When the result Is announced the new directory will most and elect officers for the year. Ono of the first matters of Importance , to be brought to the attention of tlio new di rectory will bo the reduction of feed charges. The live stock markets In the west have within the last few weeks made a reduction In feeding charges until now Chicago and Omaha are the only two maintaining the old standard of rales. Live stock owners and commission men say that unless the charges are reduced here , this market will suffer because shippers will not pay $1 a bushel for corn and $1 per 100 pounds for hay when only about about two-thirds of that amount \3 \ charge * ! at other points.

The petitioners urge that the council require the railroads whoso tracks crofin the South Omaha boulevard near the new roundhouse of the Union Stock Yards company to station a watchman nt that point , U Is asserted by the petitioners that the constantly Increasing number of trains and the topography of the adjacent territory render this crossing ex ceedingly dangerous to pedestrians and teams. The tracks which cross tlio boulevard at the point mentioned belong -to the Missouri Pacific and tlio Klkhorn roads. In this con nection It Is understood that a number of the llvo stock commission men at the exchange will also present a petition asking for a flag man at this crossing.
