Four Hundred tarn of Stock.
Yesterday was a big day at the
South Omaha live stock market, the
receipts being 4,M2 cattle, 13,403 hogs
and 2,803 sheep, says the Bee. When
it is considered .that 400 cars were re
nuired to bring in that amount of
stock, which would make a solid train
considerably over two miles in length,
the extent of the business carried on
at South Omaha may be better appre
ciated. Very little of thi9 stock was
left unsold at the close of the market,
and tho packers and other buyers bad
to pay out over $183,000 for the day's
purchase.
Outsiue of a few stock cattle to be
taken back into the country to be
placed on feed, practically all of the
stock received wa9 bought by the
packers and will all bo slaughtered
ami converted into product at South
Omaha. That work has all to be done
within one day, each day's purchase
representing one day's killing at the
packing houses.
They Call It an Experiment.
The At. i . only lias one passenger
train a day now each way through
this city, but the freights are carrying
coaches at rear of way car, even the
through fast freight stops at all sta
tions up this way. Tho farmers out
by Murray are trying to rent the
right of way to raise potatoes on.
As the train service don't appear to
be profitable, probably the company
will leaso the tractc and some enter
prising capitalist could put in a motor
line. . Tito management resides in St.
Louis and hasu'tyet learned that the
people up this wa3r appreciate a live
ro.id with up-t-uate service.

A KrrorU To He JToud Of
"What is now. and probably will be,
the tecord in this county for a day's
shingling was made by John Bobbins,
jr., the other day on Harvey Hollo
nay's house on North Fourth street.
We did not learn whether it was
muM d by the ladies in tne neighbor
hood watching him or not, but he has
:-mue reliable men to support his
claim to the honor of being the crack
shingler Le having taken off the old
shingles and put on new,5SC3 shingles,
in eleven bou-s, which is calculated
to equal the putting on of nearly
8,000 new shingies.

INFORMATION AND OPINIONS.
The time has again arrived when the
small b y takes daily journeys to the
river or lake for a pleasant "swim."
When we see them signal each other
from different parts of the street by
holding up two fingers, their object
is not so very obscure, and serves to re
mind us of days when we were about
their size; when we would swim about
the pond as smoothly as any of them,
and when we would bask in the mud
near the bank like turtles and throw
mud-balls at the frogs when they en
deavored to gain the bank. It reminds
us of the merry times we had paddling
around on a hollow log, paying no at
tention whatever to the conti: ious
bites nnd stings of flies and inos -
guimes. iu a real warm uuv neu
tno fmau ooy is on his wa r
swim, no is as nappy as one may
ever expect to seo him, and it is ap
parent he has every reason for being so.
The crew of a Union Pacific extra
east-bound freight had an exciting ex

Wednesday night. Fire was dis

tho car and its contents, but with no

I turned over on its side, but the wool
kept right on burning. Tbe entire

(.were burned completely. The wool

Tbe New Omaha Road.
Another evidence of the progress
being made by the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railroad iav offered by the
filing of a mortgage, or trust deed, for
$15,000,000, conveying all rights of the
Omaha, Minneapolis & Buffalo rail
way company to the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Trust company of Kansas
City, says the Bee. The former com
pany I as no railroad, nor part of a
railroad, in operation. It was incor
porated to build a -railroad through
Iowa, Minnesota,. Wisconsin, Michi
gan and Canada to Buffalo. The Mis
souri, Kansas & Texas Trust company
is the corporation that is looking after
the financial end of the Kansas City,
Pittsbug & Gulf railroad. The prin
1 cipal offlcl8 cf the railway company
are tn bo. In Omaha!
; The trust deed was filed Wednesday
-ftornoon at the eoart house in this
city. Similar deeds nave, or soon
will be, filed in every, county in which
the proposed railroad will, when con
structed, operate. The deed recites
that at the meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Omaha, Minneapolis & Buf
falo railway company, held in this city
March 1, 1897, it was resolved to issue
bonds for $15,000,000 at $13,000 for
every mile of railroad built,purchased
or acquired. Tne board of directors
resolved to issue 30,000 coupoa bonds
of $"j00 each at 5 per centintorest,pay
able in gold of the present standard
of value, or in sterling money free
of all government tax or duty, which,
if levied. Is to be paid by the company.
The mortgage includes all lines and
branches built or to bo built. The
bonds are to ba issued at the rate of
$15,000 for each mile of tho railroad as
it may bo built.
The mortgage was executed in Kan
sas City by J. L. Brown, president of
the Omaha, Minneapolis & Buffalo
railway jcom pany, and J., McD. Trim
ble, vice president of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Trust company. It is
attested by P. E. Brown, jr., secretary
of the former corporation, and A. C.
Robinson, secretary of the latter com
pany. '

-- A Topical New Enjlaad. TL.l
Indian Ridge, says Alvau p. Sanborn,
speaking of a typical New England i
community in Th3 Atlantic, ha9 all tho
defects of all its qualities, and possibly
some others besides. It is narrowly par
tisan in its politico; gossiping and med
dling in its temper toward matters of
purely private concern; religion, here
as elsewhere, in spite of a general
wholesomeness, is not entirely free
from hypocrisy, morality from inhu
manity and self complacency, integrity
from cruel hardness,, nor thrift and fore
sight from parsimoniousness and worry.
It is very little alive to the finer issues
of country living. Most of them are not
so much as suspected by it. For all the
mutual helpfulness and abounding sense
of humor, the life lacks flexibility, mel
lowuoss, warmth, emotion and emotion
al expression. It is indisputably triste.
.Nevertheless Indian Ridge exempli
fles the best tendencies of the New Eug
laud country. These tendencies, owing
to its comparative isolation, have been
manifested in nuiqno and homely ways
in somo instances, but the tendencies
are none tho loss souud and healthy on
that account. They are present to a con
siderable if not an equal degree, not in
all, not in the majority, perhaps, but in
many of the rural communities in every
one of the New Eugland states. If all
instead of a small part of these conimu
nities were even thus liberally endow
ed, there could be no plaint over the
decadence of rural New Eucland. for
they have in them the germs of perma
nent progress. Rather they are them
selves the very essence of corporate life,
Harnessing the Ether.
Tesla once made a remark which was
full of the spirit of future progress in
the matter of lighting. "It is of not
little interest," he said, "to contem
plate that we have a possible way of
producing by other than chemical
means a veritable flame which would
give light and heat without any materi
al beueg consumed, without any chein
ical process taking place, and to accom
plish this we only need to perfect meth
ods of producing enormous frequencies
and potentials.
These words cf Mr. Tcsla contain a
suggestion the full meaning cf r-hich
has lately been more thoroughly nr.der
stood. To produce something from toth
ing has ever been a great human problem
not always solvable. Hero is a scien
tist pointing out a scientific way of ac
complishing the feat. The hidden mean
ing of the remark ia not hard to discern,
Ilia words would seem to intimate that
we have been employing exceedingly
crude methods of light production; that
in the laboratory of nature means and
material exist which may Le procured
and used for the mere asking; that our
proper course would bo to first fcee how
light is produced in nature, aid then
as far as possible to go and do likewise.
The harnessing of the ether means the
solution of many great secrets of the uni
verse, the utilization of natural light,
the subtle transmission of speech
through miles of space, and tho great
est triumph science has yet known.
Theodore Waters in Exchange.
Suicide.
An English statistician says there is
not much of a psychological mystery in
the fact that eo many more people com
mit suicide in summer than iu winter,
and he does not think that tho differ
ence is iu any large measure due to the
direct effect of cold upon human minds
and bodies. It must be borne in mem
ory, ho says, that drowning is the com
monest method of self destruction and
resort to it is difficult or impossible
when rivers and ponJs are covered with
ice. This accounts for a part of the de
crease. Another part is explaiued by
the circumstance that in cold weather
people live more in association, and
there is thns less opportunity for com
mitting suicide. Ho decs not think,
however, that it is possible to explain
the matter wholly without reference to
the depressing effects of cold on the
nervous system and tho exciting effects
of heat. It requires somo energy and
determination to commit suicide, aud
this is lucking in a person suffering
from extreme cold. All these considera
tions working together, the result is
that many people endure through the
winter a life which they have ceased to
value and throw it away when the sea
son comes in which the material diffi
culties in the way of continued exist
ence are at their minimum.
All the Same.
At one of our large north country
churches recently a fashionably dressed
lady happened to go into one of the pri
vate pews.
The verger, who is known to be a
very stern old chap, immediately bus
tled np to her and said:
"I'm afraid, miss, you'll ha'e to cam
out o that. This is a paid pew. '
"Sir," said tho young lady, turning
sharply round, "do you know who I
am? I'm one of the Fifes."
"I dinna care," said the old man, "if
yon are the big drum, you'll ha e to
cum out" Edinburgh Scotsman.
A Critic of Darer.
A woman visitor to the Dnrer collec
tion on exhibition in New York had the
present day assurance to criticise this
old master as follows: "One can but
notice how modeling, at least, has
grown into an exact science, and what
a difference there is between such fig
ure drawing as Durer's and that of any
bright young art student nowadays.
Why, the flesh seems to hang in bunch
es upon his nudes. One would think
that they were all afflicted with tu
mors. "
One of the British Medical associa
tion delegates contends that every cow
should be examined by a veterinary sur
geon and marked before being admitted
to the dairy and its milk sold.

There have been encouraging signs
of improvement in general business the
past week, which augur well for the
future, aud although not pronounced
enough, in more than a few lines, to
warrant the prophecy of a general re
vival of trade, they are sufficiently sig
nificant to inspire hope of a gradual re
newal of commercial and industrial
activity. Among the gratifying indi
cations are a greater demand for money
for purely commercial uses and a fair
increase in the total bank clearings of
the country as compared with those at
the corresponding date one year ago.

mestic inquiry for stocks and bonds.
Our wheat market still rules active
and irregular, and is daily attracting
the attention of a greater number of
operators because of the possibilities
that the situation presents. While the
auspicious weather exerts a bearish in
fluence and encourages free short sell
ing whenever there are any indications
jf weakness, the rapid depletion of
stocks and the fear of the consequences
of their reduction to the point of actual
scarcity soon checks the selling on
slaughts and induces liberal buying for
long account.
The long wheat, being largely held
by a few wealthy operators, does not
come on the market on the breaks, on
stop orders and exhausted margins, as
it usually does when held by a large
number of scattered traders, rendering
it difficult for shorts to provide for more
than a small portion of their contracts
without causing a sharp advance.
Late advices from France indicate a
state of affairs that ere long may gen
erate a decidedly bullish sentiment de
spite the glowing reports of crop pros
pects received from the south and
northwest. It is claimed that the crop
in that country shows an awrnon fnn-
dition 12 per cent below that of"a year
S", au acreage per cent Jess, and
tuai ner import requirements will be
12,000,000 bu for the remainder of this
crop year and 72.000.tMM) bu for the next.
These estimates have inspired the bull
contingent with fresh coinage, and
have emboMened not a few to add lib
erally to their holdings.
The fact that many mills in the'wii).
ter wheat section have been closed be
cause of the difficulty in procuring suit
able wheat to grind indicates the nan-
city of supplies in first hands and en
courages the belief that but little of the
new crop will reach our market for
some time after its movement fairlv
begins.
With an increase in the foreitrn de
mand, -which the French advices sug
gest, there are substantial reasons for
the belief that before the end of July
the situation may become acute. For
eign markets as well as our own have
been inlluenced bv optimistic estimates
ot America s probable yield and are in
position to rescind quickly to any in
fluence that will present less roseate
views. These estimates are all based
on the result of the spring wheat sow
ings, which as yet have merely a favor
able start, and still have to encounter
the vicissitudes of almost an entire
season's growth. There has already
been so much damage to winter wheat
that the spring variety must mature
with but little damage to insure an
abundant total, and private advices of
still further damage to the winter crop
are becoming more numerous, the Hes
sian fly having become discouiaginglv
active in many localities. Moth hulls
and bears realize that the weather in
the near future is the most imitortant
market factor, and that nnv chance
that would cause further injury to the
crop Would be the signal for a rapid
advance.
There is but little to be said of the
coarse grains, which rule rather steady
and easy except when influenced bv
wheat. Receipts are increasing, and
western operators are inclined to sell,
being influenced by large supplies and
an increase in the acreage planted this
year.
lhe visible supply of grain in the
United States and Canada shows the
following changes for the week: Wheat
decreased 1.441.000 bu. corn decreased
2,393,000 bu and oats decreased 1,087.
