McManus I O'Neill, Nebraska. THANKS, SENATOR O’Neill Express Their Appreciation of Mr. Burket’s Attitude Toward Land Offices. Petitions to congressmen or sen ators are commonly circulated when their constituents are after some thing, but such documents taking the form of a vote of thanks are somewhat unusual. However, O’Neill people know how to appreciate a good thing and express their gratitude. A few days ago there appeared in the Washington dispatches of the Bee Senator Burkett’s comment on the attitude of Lincoln papers toward the Nebraska delegation in congress for their efforts to retain the O’Neill and Broken Bow land offices, in winch he said: “Well, I can’t speak for other mem bers, they can talk for themselves, but while I remain in congress I shall tight for every interest and every part of my state. Broken Bow and O’Neill took just the same to me as Lincoln so far as my duties go. The land offices at Broken Bow and O’Neill are of as great importance to those towns and to the people who live thereabout as the federal court and new building is to Lincoln, and the appeal of the peo ple of Broken Bow to me is just as im portant as anybody else. I hope I shall never be charded with failing to work for every interest of Nebraska and every part of it. These towns are entitled to consideration. The in habitants are human and they like to keep whatever of advantage they may have. “Economy to the government is not the only thing to be thought of in its relation to the people. It might be more econmical to the government to close all land offices except one in Ne braska, but it would not be either economical or convenient for the people.” As a testimonial of their apprecia tion of the senator’s attitude, the fol lowing has been prepared and liberally signed by O’Neill people addressed to Mr. Burkett: O’Neill, Neb., Jan. 10.—Hon. E. J. Burkett, United States Senator for Nebraska, Washington, D. C.—Sir: We, the following named residents of | O’Neill, Neb., hereby take great pleasure la expressing our apprecia tion of your valuable services and co operation in retaining the United States land office at our city; also, the manifestation of our esteem for the fairminded sentiments accredited to you in the annexed printed copy of press dispatch under date of January 7, relating to the fearless, liberal and impartial administration of your duties as senator for the entire state irrespective of locality.

Governor Sheldon has issued a quar antine order against certain counties in Nebraska where cattle arc suppos ed to be affected with scab. To carry out this order inspectors of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry are designated as assistant state veterin aries whose duties it will be to inspect shipments of cattle in the counties affected. William T. Spencer of O’Neill is the inspector for Holt county. This action is taken upon the re. commendation of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, which reads in part as fellows: The Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture has seen tit, on account of the existence of scabbies in cattle to some extent in certain counties of this state, to regulate the movement and shipment of cattle thereform. South Omaha is a public market. mereiore mere must De maintained at the stock yards a quarantine divi sion. All cattle shipped from parts of this state under quarantine by the Bureau of Animal Industry to South Omaha, whether infected or not, must be unloaded into the quarantine divi sion. This necessarily works a hard seip upon the shipper in the quaran tine district whose cattle are clean. The Bureau of Animal Industry upon the request of the deputy state veterinarian, has concluded to co-oper ate with the state in the control of scabbies in cattle within this state. To ameliorate the present conditions and to prevent the spread of scabbies throughout the state to the injury of the cattle industry, it is hereby order ed, subject to the approval of the governor, that the regulations of the honorable secretary of agriculture, known as Order No. 143, now effective in the inter-state movement of cattle, be and the same is hereby extended so as to control the movement and ship ment of cattle from the counties of Banner, Blaine, Box Butte, Brown, Cedar, Chase, Cherry, Cheyenne, Dawe3, Dawson, Deuel, Dundy, Gar field, Grant, Greeley,Hamilton, Hayes, Hitchcock, Holt, Hooker,Keith, Kim ball, Lincoln, Logan, Loup, McPher son, Perkins, Rock, Scotts Bluff,Sheri dan, Si"ux, Thomas, Valley and Wheeler. All cattle in connties within this state not above enumerated may be shipped without inspection to any point within this state as “uninspect, ed cattle” until such time ns it may be ordered other* ise. The Markets South Omaha, January 15.—Special market letter from Nye Schneider Fowler Co. Cattle receipts have been pood at this market thus far this week but not excessive.
