an Important change necessary lu the
Union Pacific's winter schedule.
This schedule had been (ully agreed upon
and was complete, with the exception of a
lew minor detail", when a telegram camo
from Chicago announcing the Central's new
train, E. L. Lomax, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Union Pacific, went to
Chicago yesterday to confer with the North
westcra and Lake Shoro officials In regard
lo connections for the new train,
There Is no doubt that a satisfactory
agreement will be reached by the repre

new service Inaugurated promptly on time.
It Is probable, however, thnt the announsc
meat of the Union Pacific's schedule will
be delayed until Baturday or perhaos later

NEW YORK, Oct. 22. Frederick B. Flan
ders, general freight agent of the North
Rfltlsh Railway company, a Scotch line,
who has been studying railroad methods for
the past month In this country, sailed for
his home today, In speaking of the results
of his Investigations Mr. Flanders Haiti:
"I shall endeavor to Introduro the thirty
ton freight cars, which are more cronomlral
than tho small trucks and wagons we use.
Many of our railroads complain of undue
competition. This applies only to the pas
nengcr department. So far ns freight Is
concerned there Is practically no competi
tion In the ordinary sense of the term. In
fact, we have ridiculous overcharges In
comparison with American rates. In Great
Britain the average rate Is a little less
than 4 cents per ton per mile. If our rates
were reduced to the American urate our
trade and manufactures would take such a
bound as has no, been neon for many a
day."

Per llnnilreil nt Month
OmnliH.
That choice cattle are bringing high
prices on the South Omaha market was
again demonstrated yesterday by the sale of
bunch of steers and heifers that sold at
tho highest prlco or the season. The cattle
were raised on n farm nt Papllllon owned
by A. V. Clark. They were nearly 2 years
old and were Whltefaces and Shorthorns.
or nearly n year they have been on full
feed and were given a ration of corumeal
ml alfalfa hay. When weighed at the
lock yards yesterday they showed an aver
se weight of 1,257 pounds and sold for
16.30.
The highest price paid previous to tills
time was J5.25 and that was for straight
steers The fact that out of the nineteen
head marketed by Mr. Clark there were ten
elfers makes thl sale by far tho highest
f the season. It may safely be said that
J6..10 Is the highest price ever paid at. South
Omaha for that, many heifers.
Mr. Clark Is a firm believer In the theory
that It pays t) raise good cattle and In
making them fat before sending them to
market. He tins one of the best equipped
feeding yards In the Mate and he seldom
falls to top tho market whenever he has
cattle for salt.

opinion the proposed city market site, com
prising the half block between Eleventh

Jackson street, can be purchased for $30,000
after the property Is condemned.
"They may ask more for It, because they
know we want It," said Mr. Hascall, "but
I believe we can get It for that figure.
The site consists of four lots of 66x132 feet
eash.
"Of course, I do not contemplate any pos
sibility of the city being able to do more
than secure the property this year, but we
wilt then be Just' that much ahead. and
when It becomes feasible, we can build
the market , house wc wish for This
should be a one-story building of vast ex
tent, but will not be costly.
"Till then, however, we can erect a con
tinuous row of stalls all along the Jackson
street front of the property. There will
be enough for each of tho traders to secure
one nnd that will double our revenue from
the market. These temporary selling places
can bo built In one long, shed-IIke building
at a low expense,
"Everything Is now ready for the plan to
proceed. We havo a safe majority In tho
council and arc waiting only upon the
necessary ordinance from City Attorney
Connell condemning the property. We wilt
get thnt by next Tuesday's council meeting
and can then rush matters."
Mr. Connell said thnt he was In posses

would get "it out as soon as the present

Tho Putnams have added to their
"Heroes of the Nations" series "Owen
Glendwr nnd the Last Struggle for Welsh
Independence" by Arthur Granville Brad
ley. In leading up to the tlmo of tho chief
events connected with tho life of thn 'hero
the author gives n rapid and withal enter
taining sketch of Welsh history. The Welsh
made a great fight, but a, hopeless one, nnd
were forced to bow the knee. In victory
or defeat Olendwr was every Inch n manly
hero nnd hns remained the Idcnl of the

doing a good work In publishing books of
this kind, which goes to prove that there

lives far mor- Interesting than nnythlng
to be found In fiction. (5. P. Putnam's
