Alex is sometimes a victim of nightmares. At this particular time he imagin- ed that someone was after him. He jumped from bed and through the window , fell to the ground be- low , picked himself up and ran several yards into a fence before he finally awakened. He was a sorry , sight when discovered. His limbs were cut by the glass and torn by the wire. Dr. Tische was called to dress his wounds. At present he feels stiff and sore and ' wonders why he wasn't , killed j' outri ht.- Brown County .

Ollis , state senator from Val ley county , and a well known stock man , has given out a significant state ment in reference to the conspiracy of the railroads , led by the Burlington , to advance the freight rate on dressed meat from the Missouri river , and thus rob the stockman of his profits. . "This is a more serious thing for t.he stockmen of this state than most of them imagine at first : thought , " says Senator Ollis. "Th advance of 30 per cent in the rates on dressed meat from the Mis- ' souri river to Chicago means a great many cattle and hogs will be taken through the South Omaha market and kilh'd in Chicago. The same men- with one exception - are killing there who are slaughtering in South Omaha. If they can ship live stock as cheaply as dressed'meat , or cheaper , they will kill in Chicago. "There I is every reason why the stockmen should be interested In building up the market in South Oma ha.ye can get the South Omaha quotations one mornjing ) and be there with the stock the next morning , and do not run much risk of a break in the market. But if we ship to Chicago we cannot get there for three days , and there is danger of getting there on a break of 30 to 40 cents , which happens many times. This wipes out the entire profit of feeding What the stockmen must have Is good , strong markets on the Missouri river. These markets can only : he buUt up by giving them business and the only way they can get business is to have rates which will enable them to com pdte with Chicago. * "This " is a matter In which every stockman west of the MlssOtt'ri' river has a vital interest and should , help the South Omaha market in getting tfe * fclfc . . . . aaa .
