Stock Men Ask
Better Service
Stale Railway Commission Is
Urged to Reroute Shipments
Over M. & 0. Road.
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.
MATE THREATENED
TO KILL HER, CLAIM
Joseph Hanausek’s principal Indoor
sport was threatening to kill his
wife, Bertha, 5115 South Twenty
third street, she testified In domestic
relations court, where she was award
ed a divorce Friday.
Sh& said he threatened to kill her
unless she sued for a divorce; threat
ened to "cut her throat if she didn’t
have a divorce by Friday," and threat
oned to slay her once 4>n a street car
"if there wasn't such a big crowd
around.”
He often beat her with stove pok
ers and other household conveniences
and broke her glasses, she declared.

—Farmer Brown's Boy.
The Boldness of Whisky .lark.
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

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.

Rrown's boy over to the sugar house.

Whiaky Jack's eyes sparkled more
than ever. Farmer Brown's boy
finished frying the bacon and put It
on a plate on the table. Then he
turned, to get something else he need

edge of the plate and helped himself
to a liters of bacon. Farmer Brown's

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

Sammy Jay had seen It all Sammy

everybody knows. But Sammy

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.
