Shippers and commission men were principals in a hearing against the Minneapolis & Omaha railroad Friday in the Livestock exchange before mecltbers of the state railway com mission. The purpose of the meeting was to devise means to speed the transporta tion of stock to the South Omaha stockyards after it has been brought into Omaha on the Minneapolis & Omaha road. The railroad has no line to the. South Side and its freight is carried down by the Missouri Pacific. Ship pers and commission men testified that there is a delay of from eight to 10 hours, that the stock often arrives too late for the day's market, and that a loss of hundreds of dollars is occasioned by the delay. W. S. Stryker, secretary of the Livestock exchange, declared that un less something is done shippers will soon divert their shipments from the Omaha market. He suggested that the transfer to the Missouri Pacific be made at Irvington, or that the Minneapolis & Omaha road entrust the transfer to the Northwestern, which also runs to South Omaha. Charles A. P-andolph presided. Four commission men and five shippers aired their troubles and pointed to possible means of solution.

Whisky Jack, ths Northern cousin of Sammy Jay, was making himself very much at home around Farmer Brown's RUgar camp In the Green Forest. He followed Farmer-Brown's Boy from three to tree as the latter went around collecting sap. No sooner would Farmer Brow n s Boy empty a pail and hang It back on a "Did you ever *ee such holdne**"' exclaimed Chatterer the Hrd Squirrel. • tree than Whisky Jack would fly down and alight on the edge of the pail and look Into it. Sometimes he would hardly wait for Farmer Brown's Boy to turn his back. "Did you ever see such boldness!" exclaimed Chatterer the Red Squirrel. "That fellow Is either so foolish that he doesn't know enough to be afraid or else he Is the boldest person I ever saw! Look at that now! Just look at that! He doesn't know what fear is." Whisky Jack had alighted almost at the feet of Farmer Brown's Boy, and when Farmer Brown’s Boy stepped toward him he hardly moved. He didn’t move until he had to to Weep from being stepped on. Then he flew' up on a branch Just above the head of Farmer Brown's Boy, cocked his head on one aide and ins black eyes snapped In the most im pudent way. "I hear he Is a cousin of yoprs," said Chatter to Sammy Jay. "He certainly ha* Impudence enough to be." Sammy opened his mouth to deny that Whisky Jack was a relative of hts. But just then Whisky Jack screamed harshly. It was so like the voice of Sammy Jay that It was hard to believe that it was not Sammy's voice. Sammy closed his mouth with out saying a word. It was useless to deny that any one with a voice like that was related to him. No one but A Jay could scream like that. Whiaky Jack had followed Farmer Rrown's boy over to the sugar house.

Then he turned, to get something else he need ed. Whisky Jack hopped onlo the edge of the plate and helped himself to a liters of bacon. Farmer Brown's hoy turned Just In time to see him do it. "HI there, you robber!" be shouted Whiaky Jack said nothing, but hla eyea aparkled more than ever, and lie flew out of the open door to a tree, where he ate the piece of hacon with out hurrying In the least. Sammy Jay had seen It all Sammy la himself something of a thief, as everybody knows. But Sammy wouldn't think of stealing In any such bold fashion as this lie Is ton stisplc ions.

Am KHTISF MT-VT, VOTE FOR Henry G. Meyer for District Judge AT THE ■THEATERS In * half dozen year* of Orphetim circuit appearances, Vaughn Com fort, the American Tenor, has nev«r hud a request for a jazz number, he declared yesterday at the Orpheum, where he is appearing th.s week. What the public really likes In music, he says, are operatic* selection* and songs of the type familiarized by the best of the concert stars. Mr. Com fort never travels without a trunkfui of songs for he is deluged with re quests on every appearance on his vsuje ville route. Operatic selections rank first and they range from "Die Melsterslnger" and "Samson and Delilah" to the universally popular “Pagliaccl." Different elements of so ciety are represented In the requests. Some requests, he says, are badly spelled, scrawled in pencil and ob viously written by foreigners who want to hear tlfe(r beloved arias.
