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.

course luncheon, both dainty and sub
stantial, was served with the grace

self to be on all similar occasions.

and cards, progressive high five being

CATTLE QUARANTINED
Governor Issues Order Affecting Cat
tle Shipments in Several Counties
in the State.
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,

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

Cattle receipts have been pood at
this market thus far this week but
not excessive. At Chicago and some
other points they have been heavy

little stronger Monday on butcher
stock owing to a demand from Sin
clair of Cedar Rapids, la., and other
outside buyers. There is considerable
activity in the feeder line and prices
a shade higher than a week ago on
desirable grades.
