classes of live stock now show an

was an avalanche of stock and the num
ber was swelled to audi an extent that
hogs, cattle and sheep all went up to a
figure which exceeds that of any year
trlor to this. ' v
At on tlmo this year the amount of
bog received at the stock yards showed
& decrease of 150,000 head; now it shows
a material Increase. The receipts of cattle
and sheep have been on the Increase nil
of the year, but It wan not thought, after
the first five months of the year, that the
Treat Increase of last year would be over
come. But this has been accomplished.
It Is generally predicted that the rush
of cattle during the coming months of this
year, and especially during the next six
weeks, will be unprecedented In the history
of the Bouth Omaha yards. While up to
the present the run has not exceeded the
anticipations of th'e stockmen, they say
that the range are still crowded with cat
tie which will have to be disposed of be
fore the extreme cold nets in.
It IS stated that feeders will be much in
demand, owing to the cold snap which the
State has endured during the last few days.
Many farmers will, It Is Said, as soon as
the weather permits, attempt to put their
corn fields In the form of fodder, as much

The street gang has about all it can do
these days. The recent rains have washed

them repaired before accidents happen. In
Some of the places the waters caused deep

SOUTHWEST IMPROVERS MEET
Activities Reamed After Losg tarn.
nr Vacatloa and Old Topics
Asjala Talked.
The Southwest Improvement club resumed
its regular meetings last evening at its
rooms, corner of Twenty-fourth and Leav
enworth streets, after the summer vacation.
A good attendance was present. In the ab
sence of the president and vice president
Fred Harmon was chosen chairman pro
torn.
Little business was transacted other than
the allowance of current miscellaneous bills
and the report of the treasurer, showing a
comfortable balance in the finances of the
club. Several committees submitted In
formal verbal reports to the effect that
numerous sidewalk Improvements hsd been
mario and are being made and that others
are to be made very shortly. Four new
lamps were reported as placed on Twenty
fifth street In much needed localities, and
another light on Twenty-fourth street be
tween Mason and raclfia, and one at Twen
ty-fifth avenue and Pacific street.
Councilman Dyball said that additional
sidewalk Improvements would be made as
soon as the question of a legal official city
paper had been established.
The prospect of the Twenty-fourth street
railway line from Leavenworth street to
Bouth Omaha was reported to be a certainty
of the near future, or as soon as the requi
site 6 per cent grade on Twenty-fourth
street had been made as desired by the
company.
It was reported that the ordinance pro
viding for the Bancroft street subway had
reached its first and second readings in
the council and that the ordinance will un
doubtedly pass at the next meeting of the
council. The Union Pacific and Burlington
companies indicated their willingness to
complete the subway as soon as possible,
and It Is quite probable that It will be fin
ished this winter. Estimates and specifi
cations for the subway have already been
made by the city engineer's department and
it is only a matter of a short time when
this much needed Improvement would be
made.
The next meeting of the club will be held
the second Wednesday in October, the 14th
proximo, to which time the club adjourned.
The annual election of the officers of the
club will take place at this meeting.

Articles of War to Be Answer.
Adjutant General Bell will appear in the
district court on Friday personally, if
necessary, or by representative, to make
answer and return of the writs of habeas
corpus which were Issued against him on
behalf of four prisoners in the military
guard house. In his answer to the com-
tartan instruction." If a person should
open the Koran as a religious act, as Mr.
BuRh .rightly assumes the bible Is opened
In the schools, that person most assuredly
would be deciding the question of the au
thenticity, Inspiration, and canonlclty of
the Koran, an act which every clear
headed man In this state knows Is not
an act of sectarianism under our qanstt
tutlon. But Mr. Mahoney clumsily dodges.
"It Is one thing to examine and analyse
a writing with a secular object In view,
and quite another thing to read it as a
teaching of truth. The former is not seo
tsrlan teaching and Is, therefore, not for
bidden by the constitution. The latter
would be sectarian teaching and according
to the decision of Judge Sullivan, Is for
bidden." Mr. Rush did not dispute this
point. Tou are simply denying something
which he never asserted. Tou are as
suming something as existing In Mr. Rush's
mind which was not there at all.
Mr. Mahoney then very lamely comments
on Mr. Rush's criticism of Judge Sul'.lvan's
reference to the Pennsylvania case. "It
should be remembered that Judge Sullivan
was not called on to deride a theological
question, nor was he called on in any way
to make a pro- mcement upon the num
ber of differences In the two versions. He
was simply calling attention to the fact
that there are differences and used the
reference to the Pennsylvania case to sup
port his recital of that fact." What In

of difference are a matter of indifference

NEEDS OF PROSPECT HILL
Sidewalks, Sewers and Street Lights
Comprise the Crgent Waats
of the District.
In anticipation of a visit from the mayor
and members of the city council, the rank
and file of the Prospect Hill Improvement
club was represented in goodly numbers at
the meeting last evening. Failure on the
part of the councllmen and mayor to put
In an appearance did not deter the club
from discussing improvements considered
vital to that part of the city, and an in
teresting session wss held.
It seemed to be the Impression of a ma
Jorlty of the members that a condition and
not a theory confronts them In respect to
sidewalks. Mr. Dally told of having Item
Iced all the bad places in walks and cross- 1
Ings for the benefit of the Board of Public
Works; also of having received assurance
from' Mr. Rosewater that repairs will be
made as expeditiously as possible.
The matter of a sewer from Thirty-third
street to Lincoln boulevard was Mr.
Btoney's theme, and he told of a resolution
having been before the council at its last
meeting, which he thought would be cour
teously treated. Mr. Stoney also talked of
street lights, both gas and electric, either
of . which he considered good enough, for
the. hill If they, could be had where wanted.
It was the consensus of opinion among
members that Thirtieth street should be
opened In the near future. Mr. Unltt told
of having collected $25 from property own
ers and paid It over to the city clerk a
year ago to compensate the appraisers. He
said the opening of the street was being
delayed by failure to obtain an abstract,
and suggested that the club visit the coun
cil in a body at its next meeting to help
push the abstract business along. '
Mr. Stoddard, candidate for county judge
from the Ninth ward, was present, having
come on the invitation of a member of the
club. He was asked to address the club
and did so, speaking of tha early efforts of
his ward In the Improvement line. He told
them Improvements came slowly and if tha
past was any orlterion of the future this
club had no, grievance because a new street
had not been opened for a year.
An invitation from the Orchard Hill club
to visit it at Its next meeting, next Mon
day night, was received and accepted.

not exclude It from the schools; the next
moment he says something, or Is repre
sented as saying something, which de
stroys that construction of his meaning
altogether.
Mr. Rush makes the statement that those
who advocate the reading of the Bible In
the schools are and always have been
"ardent and unscrupulous . sectarians."
Mr. Mahoney seems to think that Mr.
Rush will have to bear the awful respon
sibility of this statement to the grave and
carry It alone. Mr. Mahoney himself then
proceeds to make an assertion JusP as
broad and sweeping. He says, "This is
not the opinion of his feKow Catholics."
How do you know, Mr. MahoneyT When
did you make a poll of the Catholics on
this question? Mr. Mahoney then says:
"We know, too, that there are millions of
irdcnt sectarians who are not unscrupu
lous." As Mr. Rush did not say that all

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part cf that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen thy internal organs .
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its geAtle action and its beneficial effects, is -Syrup
of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in tha way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Pleas;

and we must confess we are amased. Con
sideling Mr. Mahoney's reputation as a
lawyer, we thought he knew enough to
avoid what even a schoolboy would know
is sophistry. It would appear . from Mr.
Mahoney's letter in the World-Herald this
morning that Judge Sullivan construed the
state constitution as really excluding any
religious use whatever of the bible In the
public schools. Judge Sullivan, of course,
did not say this clearly and distinctly
He played on the term "sectarian," and
maJe It proper to Infer that according to
the Judge there Is a piMslble religious use
of the bible In the public schools which is
not "sectarian." If the Judge did not main
this, he has his own Indeftnlteness and
loquacity to blame for the misunderstand
lng. Mr. Mahoney is much, clearer and
more satisfactory on this point According
to him, the Judge, In saying that the con
stltutlon did not entirely exclude the bible
from the public schools, meant that It
could be used there for any other purpose
than religious e. g. as a model of liter
ature. Evon this position could be prop
erly assailed by Christians, but It la pos
sible that no one would have considered
It worth his while to do so. Ws think
that considering our conditions. It is im
possible to use the bible In sny of our
schools with the Indifference thst is shown
when one of the classics Is used
It Is passing strange that while Mr,
Mahoney considers Mr. Rush beside the
point, he goes to the trouble of trying to
refute him. Ma Rush wrote: "Tou ought
to know that the moment your bible is
opened In the public school sectarian In
struction is being Imparted Ipso facto,
If it Is the King James' version that is
used, the reader then and there decide
that the King James version Is the bible.
Mr. Mshoney Immediately has to die
credit this difficulty, but soon changes
his mind and takes refuge In ths assump
tion that the Judge's decision excludes the
religious use of the bible la tha sohool
and contemplates Its literary ubc or some
other secular use only. Mir. Mahoney
says: "Tou might as well say that the
moment the Koran Is opened the reader

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Brlgadier Gen
eral Frank D. Baldwin, commanding the
Department of the Colorado, in his annual
report urges the re-establlshment ot the
army canteen under proper restrictions and
says:
I have been deeply impressed by the very
marked difference In discipline and general
contentment among the enlisted men since
the abolition of the canteen reature ot tne
post exchange. If men are unable to get
a class of beer In a decent and orderly
manner ln the garrison they will resort to
the vile brothels which cluster around the
borders of the reservation where they drink
all manner of alcohollo beverages and often
sink into debauchery ana ruin.
In reference to the award of medals to
successful competitors at the various com
petitions ln small arms practice, General
Raldwln recommends the abolishment of
the system and the substitution of an In
crease ln ths soldier's monthly pay, which,
he says, will tend to Increase interest ln
the competitions. General Baldwin speaks
of the necessity for good military muslo as
conducive to the contentment and efficiency
of tho soldier, and recommends larger
bands and a 0 per cent Increase In pay of
musicians.

superintendent for transportation home.
The boss asked him If, supposing he was
working for a farmer and after getting
through, should be expect th- farmer to
hitch up and take him home. Ills reply
was, "No, but If he was going that way
and was already hitched tip, he would say
he was a darned hog If he would not let
him ride."
The railroads have alwnys been orposed
to populism, but If they InBlBt on tighten

men and business men of the west they
will soon revive the principles of that or

of the populist party Is the gallant fight

object Is to encourage local merchants to

Venesaela Dealea Report.
Dr. Ilernandea, the Venesuelan minister
here, today received a dispatch from Min-
ONO, Neb., Sept. 11. To the Editor ot
The Bee: I have been looking for a pro
test from some of the shippers of live stock,
but so far quiet prevails, perhaps, and prob
ably a flame of indignation from the ship
pers, farmers, commission men and busi
ness men of all live stock centers win soon
burst forth and fight to the bitter end the
proposed ruling of the railroad companies
prohibiting Issuing return tickets to the
shippers as heretofore.
For their flimsy excuse, first the railroads
claim that B0per cent of passes Issued to
stockmen are used by someone else. Not
knowing the form of tickets used by other
lines, I will not dispute It along that line.
Being a shipper on the B. & M. I will say
that I have been shipping live stock for
twenty years, and in all this time I have
never known a man to use my ticket; never
saw a ticket broker who would purchase It,
nor have I ever heard of any other shipper
who has sold or bought any ruch ticket, -
and so far as the B. & M. railroad is con
cerned I do not for one minute believe that
SO per cent of those stub tickets are used
by others, not. In fact, one In a thousand,
because, first they are limited; second,
they are dated; third, an accurate descrip
tion of the person to whom they are issued
is taken, your signature la given and every
conductor on this line has the right to
make you sign the same at any time, and
If the signature does not correspond he
can take up the same and make you pay
fare.
I want to see someone produce a man
that will say and prove that he ever went
home on a regular shipper's contract that
the shipper went In with and did not re
turn on.
To prove what I believe to be true, I will
say that I will be in Omaha next week. I
wilt have a return contract, and I will for
feit the same to any railroad official nid
pay my fare home if they can get any other
fellow to put my contract to his own use
and get to my heme on the same. Another
thing that Is against them, is that a reg
ular shipper Is known to the conductors
along this line as well as commercial men
know their customers.
Another excuse offered by the roads Is
that east of Chicago passes are not Issued
for return on shipments. This may be
true, and If so, we all know that 90 per
cent of all stock sent east from Chicago
comes from the west, and that the same
has been on the road for three or four days
and the stock have become what we call
"got settled." or used to the cars, snd
therefore do not need the same care they
should have on their first day out. An
other thing, everybody knows that j-ou
scarcely ever see a Iocs! stock trsln out of
Chlcsgo. They are put In through trains
and rushed to their destination on pas
senger time snd do not ned the rsre re
quired on the local trains of the west.
I would like to see this question dis
cussed thoroughly by other parties, and I
think that most of us will agree that the
chap who had been working for the rsll-
