Nearly all the frclslit olllclals ami other
prominent attaches of the Omaha lines uro
in attendnnco at tlu > Denver meeting of llvo
Btockmeii. When they return to Omaha they
ere likely to find that Nebraska llvo etock
matters have taken a rather Interesting
turn during their nUuMicu. They will learn
on their return. If they have not already
Iwcn advlti'd of it , that the llvo stockmen of
this stutu have banded together for their
mutual protection.
Thp organization of the Nebraska MVP
Stock Shippers' association In this city wan
dlsniEscd In rather uninvited fashion about
lociil railway lu > ail < iuitru'is yrsturday. In
the abnence of most of the leading olllclala
thdratislstaiila and chief clrrks declined testate
state jut-t 'what move the railrauds would
jimko reRunllng tlie now oruanlzatlon thai
in 'to demand better service * for thi- stock
trains of tlio state. One railroad was rep >
reai'iiti'U at the afternoon meeting of the
llvo stock men yesterd y , Traveling Krclsht
'Agent Tyrol ! of tbt > .MUauun I'acllic being
In attt'iUunco. but at the evening session
tto lullroads wen * not represented atill. .
Speaking of the new association one rail
road man connected with u prominent Omain
line says : " \Ve shall meet tlm new or
ganization mid Its ruprrscntatlves In every
spirit of fairness , but I doubt U they will
obtain any concisions for the. stock men
that the stock men could not have obtained
for tlicintclves. So far as poor train service
is concerned I bellevo that every road In the
tale Is giving thti stock meu Just exactly
* s gooj service as the business will warrunt.
There arc bound to be complaints arise , ana
When properly presented these are Invariably
Lttcad a to and th difficulty Adjusted. I
don't believe the stock men of Nebraska
Imvu any great kick coming , but we slKll < io
what wo can to hr-lp out the new association
and promote the best Interests of Its mem
bers. "
'
ANOTIIBR CAUSR TO KICK.
It Is learned that the railroads are not the
only institutions the stockmen are after , for
relations between a number of commission
houses nnd the llvo stockmen arc to bo In-
vestlBatiHl by the now association. The kick
against thu commission mc i Is that the llvo
stock men Imvo no security in their dealings
with the commission men. anil several stock
men ir eald to have lost the proceeds of
sonio big sales through transactions with dis
honest commission men. Snltl ono stock
man to The Hue : "There are plenty of Imn-
orublii ; omml&slon men and some of them
are my boat friends. They wouldn't harm
anybody if they could. But there are n
lot of dishonest fellows In the same busl-
. noss. 1 could wrlto out a list of 100 stock-
I men who have been buncoed out of their
I money by dishonest commission men.
I Now hero's the point. Thrso commission
, men ought to bo comoelled to give a bond for
, security when they do business with a stock
' u-rtii and handle his cattle. Tiio stock yards
company makes the commission flrnid put up
a $10.000 bond before it will let them do
business. Not only that , but the atock yards
company Insists that three bonds shall tie
guaranteed by a reliable trust company. The
company will not take any Individual band.
; Now If the tock yards coir.cnuy has < hlu
much ( iratcctlon upulnst the dishonest com-
inlBslcn nun , why Miould not the stock man ,
who risks a great deal more with t'.ie com-
[ illusion man , have Die same amount of pro
tection ? I am In favor of this association
taking such steps as will compel the commis
sion men to out up good , safe bonds before
tlioy run handle any llvo stock at all. There.
Is no rt-ason why thu Block nun should aot
be ( irotectoil just as much , or more , than
tlio stock yards company "

Secretary Ult of the Commercial club te
enthusiastic over the early'locution ' of the
ladlaci eupply depot lu this t ty. He sees In
| Its coming an Immense jIncreaseIn the
wholesale trade and also if. cprrrupondlng In-
l crciso In the volume of iYtal | tmdc that will
'
naturally follow. IIo wayu : "We have done
all that we can and have ! nothing to do now
but to wait for the comingof * the commis
sioners who will select the location. These
olllclals are likely to come at any time and
close up the contracU for the buildings that
will be used by the government. Any num
ber of bids on biiild'ciga liavp been submitted ,
so that the commission will be able to make
a good selection. While I have DO Idea what
locution ulll 'bo ' decided , upon. It Is afo to
liresiirno that the bulldl'iigs will bo In the
wholesale- district , as trackage la absolutely
nectesary for the handling of the goqdo. "
Asked If Omaha wholesalers and manufac
turers would ilirlvo much benefit from the
establishment of the dorot. Secretary Utt
replied : "It will undoubtedly be tbo biggest
thing that Omaha IIUH secured for a long
time. I have madean estlmalo and find that
of the 149 Indian agencies in the United
States , 139 are located west of a line drawn
from north to outh and passing through
Omnba. Thus It ran readily be seen that the
bulk of the supplies and annuity goods
tliould be shipped direct from Omaha to tbo
respective agencies. The fihlpment.s to he sent
to the agencies will reach fully 3,000,000
pounds and possibly a good deal more. Of
course wo cannot tell just how much stuff
will be required until the government asku
for bids , which will be some tlmo during
the early summer. U 1s probable that tlio
will bo esUblUbea early In June ,
'
which will make It poEsIblo to have nil of
the goods cent to the Omaha depot for re-
sh'nment and rcdellvery.
"There Is no roison why the Omaha people
should not secure con'tracts oti about every
thing except thu cotton clothea nnd some
claests of the mainfactured good.s. . Takti
swp for instance. Lust year the government
advertised for twenty cars of this commodity.
Hero In Orr.aha we have soap factories ot.
complete and as largo as any In the country
aud there Is no reason why they should not
secure the contract. The enmo Is equally
true with reference to vinegar , syrups , har
ness , drugs and all kinds of cured meats. "
Asked why Omaha houses would have an
advantage , Secretary Utt replied : "When
the depot \va.3 located In Chicago , If an
Omaha merchant or manufacturer dcalred to
bid ho had to ship his samples to Chicago
and pay freight both ways. Then If he wart
lucky enough to secure the contract ho had
to pay thu freight on all of hit * shipments to
Chicago. This freight charge took away
about all of his profit anil placed him In a
pavilion where he could not compute with
the Chicago people. Now the condition * ) are
I changed and being placcJ In a position where
ho docs not have1 to pay jiciy freight , It bcemz
' to mo that the Omaha business ought to cap
ture the bulk of this trade. "

It appears Lulcablll still clung to the Idea
that some one was pursuing him with de

escape he took to drink again. About U

of the cellar below. When picked up he
told the clerk ho was gutting out of the

and who Jmil just struck him In the face.
When taken to the station the farmer W..H
