Decision.
(From., a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN", Ort. 1C (Special.) The
offl-
ra of the Live Stock exchange In South
Omaha are nnxlous for ovcrnor Sheldon
to Issue a proclamation requiring the own-
era of herds of cattle to dip them and wipe
out the arables , hlrli seems to be preval
ent In aorne section of the state. In
letter to the chief executive received this
morning; from the secretary of the ex
rlsangc. It aayajfhe exchange has Informa
tion that neighbouring mat en are Boon to
quarantine against Nebraska cattle.
The letter tfclls attention to a recent
visit madn to the governor by officers of
the exchange and continue:
Since that vlalt I lenrn from what 1
consider Rood authority that In the course
of a few weka the entire mate of Ne
braska will likely tie quarantined against
all other state. l"p to the present time
the, eastern half of the state has been
considered free , territory ns far as this
market Is concerned and cattle from Yank
ton. H. D., to Praken How In Cuater
county, then south to the state line, could
come to this market and be yarded In the
clean division and go from that division
to any port of the cotintry on a clean bill
of health.
If th H. A. 1. see fit to discontinue hand
l'ng cattle front this territory In this man
ner you can readily see what we are go
ing to be up Hgalnst.
The western psrt of Nebraska aa you
km la producing country and the east
ern part of the state (a a finishing or fat
tening territory. We lieve met with a
great deal of Inconvenience, and In aome
rnaee losses to the shippers, beeln able
to get along this fall with the eastern
half of the strte In free territory. What
we are going to be able to do If all cat
tle from our own state have to go Into
nuarantlne, none of us Is able to say.
It seems to tia a hardnhln that cattle
from our own sandhills are allowed to go
to Bloux rlty. 8t. Joe, Kansas City and
Chicago on A clean bill of health If
healthy, but rannnt reach their own
Iionlo market under the sarp'e condition.
The government stands ready. bh I under
stand It, to co-ojerate with Nebraska In
cleaning upr the scab on our cattle and
It seems to rue that we should get In line
For your Information, t asked the burea-i
of animal Inspection whnt statea are work
ing In this manner, and I ntn In receipt
of a letter this morning, giving the names
of the states and the nature of the co
operation between thm and the bureau of
animal Inspection. They are as follows:
Oklahoma, Kansas. Montana, . North la
Vota, South Dakota, cattle scabies; New
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, cattlo and
aheep acaMes; Arizona, I'tah, Nevada, Ore
gon, aheep scabies You can see that the
statea on tho north, south and west of us
are In line, which makes It Just that
much harder for a Nebraska man to do
business In a sa.lsfactory manner. If. this
free line Is withdrawn the cattle feeder
from east of the line will .think the matter
over very carefullly before he consigns his
rattle to South Omaha, where they will
have to go Into quarantine, when he can
get a clean bill of health If he goea to a
market out of the state.
, It goes without saying, of course, that
this IB a matter of sol preservation with
us at South Om.tha, but we feel aure that
you will dq all vou can to help your homo
innrket as against an outside market.
It seems to mo that If you will ask for
government' co-opere tlon, appoint the field

a conference had been held between the
commission and these representatives of
the road: E. II. Gould, general superintend
ent of Kansas City; Superintendent Leldy
of Kansas and Superintendent Brooks of
the Nebraska division. These men protested
vigorously against the order, but did not
ask for a formal hf arlng. The original order,
which was not signed until this morning,
provided that passenger trains shall run at
not more than twenty-five miles an hour;
freight trains at not more than twenty miles
an hour, and In case an engine known as
the battleship 1s used at not more than
fifteen miles an hour. This order was to
become effective October 27.
The railroad representatives contended
that If they sent out orders by telegraph It
was liable to result In confusion and prob-
i able accidents and therefore It should not
become effective until the company had time
to publish Its new time tables. It was
finally agreed by the commission that the
order should become effective on the day
the time tablee were In the hands of the
aiynts and that the time limit should be
November 1. Superintendent Leldy said he
believed It Is safer to ride on a train going
fifty miles an hour than one going twenty
miles an hour. In answer to a question by
Judge Williams If he preferred to ride on
the Missouri Pacific at night nrty miles an
hour or twenty mllee an hour, Leldy re
plied that he would trust to the Judgment
of the engineer to slow up at dangcroi'B
places.
Tlallmada to Perfect Appeal.
W. D. McIIugh, representing the allied
railroads, telephoned to the attorney gen
eral that he would be In Lincoln tomorrow
or Thursday at 11 o'clock to perfect the
appeal In the railroad Inlunctlon case for
the purpose of carrying the suit to the clr
cu,it court of appeals at St. Louis. The rail
roads will aerve notice on the attorney gen
eral that they will apply for a temporary
restraining order at St. Louis pending the
hearing of the proposed appeal. The In
junction which waa refused the railroads
here and which they will try to get at St.
Louis, Is to restrain the railway commission
from enforcing the recent order reducing
grain rates. Judge McIIugh requested the
attorney general to stipulate that the rail
road suits, not named In the last order,
ahould remain as they are, undetermined
In the federal courts In Nebraska. Mr.
Thompson replied that It waa stated In
open court that the railroads would abide
by the order Issued In the case of tthe Bur
lington, which la the only case argued.
Mr. Thompson will make no such stipula
tion. Walt Offered Directorship.
Deputy Secretary of State Addison Walt
has received an offer of a directorship In
the new railroad company forming In New
York City for the. purpose of building a
line from Nebraska to the uQIf of Mexico.

In the suit of the Central Granaries com- ;
pany against Lancaster county the court '
lays down tho following rules for the as- j
sessment of the property of grain dealers:
The average capital of grain dealers Is
not the average of the totul capital used
In the huslnebs, but Is the excess of such
capital over the real estate and other tang-
line property wnicn can oe assessed sep
arately. Aver aire capital Is not average
purchases, or average sales and cannot be
found by adding together the amount of
purchases or the amount of sales during
the year and dividing the sum by an arbi
trary divluor. he average capital Is the
average of the amount of cash and all
oiner property or every Kind used In car
rying on the business. If there Is an ex
cess or this a vera ire of capital over the
amount of real estate and. other tangible
property that can be viewed by the asses
sor, then such excess Is to be added for
assessment.

FREMONT, Neb., Oct. 16 (Specials A
number of property owners In the Farm-
ami, Fremont and Railroad drainage dis
trict have brought an action of quo war
ranto In the district court to test the consti
tutionality of the r.ew drainage luw enacted
at the last session of the legislature. Re
sides general allegations that the law Is
unconstitutional It Is alleged that the notice
of the election for the formation of the
district waa not published as the law Itself
requires and that two of the directors,
Mayor Wols and Superintendent Rlgnell.
of the Burlington, are not property owners
In the district. While only nine persons
Join as relators, there are said to be about
thirty others back of the suit and tho
bringing of the action was not, entirely un
expected. The prayer of the petition is
that the corporate franchise of the district
be forfeited and the directors ousted. It is
said that the principal objections which will
be raised to the constitutionality of the
law are that corporations are alven the
right to vote and property qualifications )
are required or electors and that property
within the corporate limits of the city can
not be Included In the district.
Contracts were let some time ago for the
entire proposed Improvements and consid
erable work has already been done. The
case will be brought to a hearing as soon
as possible and probably will go to the su
preme court whichever way It Is decided
here.
