Mark for Live Stock Receipts With
829 Cars Continuous Demand Keeps
Prices Up.
Omnhn. Sfpt. 27. South Oninbn
mntle n world 8 record in the receipts
of sheep when 03,21 5 were brought to
the ynrdfi by the different lallrondts.
The record previously wub held bj
Chicago, the largest day heretofore
recorded nt any one point being G9.3G2
The greatest nuinbei of sheep ever
received In Omnhn before the enor
mous movement Monday, was about
51,000 seternl days ago.
The total number of cars of live
stock received also established a Hew
record for South Omnhn, 829 pulling
Into the yards. Of these twenty-two
were of horseB from the west. There
were 13,824 head of cattle.
The bheep began to arrive early, but
not more than half were unloaded by
noon and the market was much con
fused all day, although the prices and
the bidding were comparatively good.
All night the workmen, the loaders
nnd the drivers about the yards were
busy and the pens will be crowded all
the week, for the prospects are for
even greater numbors of sheep than
camp Inst week or the week previous.
Kanchmen from Wjonilng, Colorado
nnd points farther west say that the
runs of rlieep are not over. yet, but
that many still remain on the rangos
to be shipped within the next few
weeks. It Is plain that the ranchers
nre shipping In every animal which
they feel ennnot be safely wintered.
The ranges are short of good prass.
Th. rains came too late and the grass
which Is now springing up well Is ten
der and green and with the first frost
will fall and wither to nothing. The
grasses of the early summer of the
western plains In ordinary seasons
would have stood many Inches high
nnd havo cured, properly .in the late
summer and fall and would have been
fine winter forage, while much hay
might have been harvested. All this
Is lacking In many sections nnd ex
plains in part the. heavy shipment of
the Inst month. Farther, the South
Omaha market for sheep Iikb been rap
Idly growing In popularity among the
western bleeders.
The most remarkable thing about
the South Omaha market Is the num
ber and the engerness of the sheep
buyers who hnve snapped up the out
put as fast as It has arrived.
The receipts of sheep are not the
only remarkable features of the South
Omaha markets. Western cattle for
much similar reasons continue to ar
rive by the trainload nnd the thouband.

Br.iZF RADYW RATE CASES
Attorney General Thompson Prepares
statement In Missouri Suits.
Llncc.ii, Sept. 2C Attorney Gen
eral Ihompson has prepared a brief to
be fheil In the supremo court of the
United States In the .Missouri rate
cases. The state legislature of Mis
souri enacted rate laws similar to the
laws enacted by the Nebraska legisla
ture of 1907, Including the 2-cent pas
senger fare law. In the lower courts
of Missouri the state lost nnd the laws
weie declared unconstitutional be
cause the rates were held to be confis
catory. Mo Thompson was Invited
by the nttorney general of Missouri
to flic a brief In the case in support
of the law, having gone over the same
ground In the Nebraska cases now
pending.
Mr Thompson argues In hlB brief
that the burden of prdof that the rates
are confiscatory Is upon the rnllroadB.
He Insists that until the rates are ap
plied the railroads cannot determine
whether they are confiscatory.
He takes exceptions to the estab
lished rule of the railroads to divide
the expenses of the haul to Interstate
shipments upon the revenue basis.
The Intrastate rates, Mr. Thompson
says In his brief, are usually twice ns
high as the interstate rates and for
thnt reason the division of expenses
on the revenue basis Is certainly
wrong.
NEBRASKA COMPANY LOSES
Application for Modification of Injunc
tion Is1 Denied.
Lincoln, Sept. 2C The application
of the Nebraska TeV;.one company
for a modlflcr.tlcn of the Injunction is
sued by the supremo court against it
taking over three Independent com
panies or connecting with them, has
been denied. The court gave out Its
decision, but did not file an opinion.
Some weeks ago the independent
system of tlie state secured the in
junction to prevent the Nebraska com
pany from taking over the plants It
bought at Pnplllion, Nebraska City
and Plattsmouth. The suit was
broucht at the Instigation of the of
ficials of the Independent system by
the attorney general. Later the Ne
braska company sought to have the
order modified so that it could connect
up Its long distance line with the com
panies It bought pending the trial of
the case on its merits. This the court
refused to do.
