"I Have Been Through a Great Manj
New York City Hospitals , " He Said
"And This Is Superior to Anythln [
I Have Even Seen. "
The following letter appeared In the
Omaha Bee yesterday morning :
Omalm , Oct. 13. To the Editor ol
The Boo : In company with a broth
er , Mr. James Carr Garrison of the
editorial staff of the Now York Press
the writer recently visited the asy
him for the Insane located two mllef
and a half from Norfolk , and I do nol
think I am violating any political prec
cdent ( being a democrat ) when I
quote his remarks. Ho said :
"I have been through a great many
of the hospitals and sanitariums ol
New York city , and must say that the
management nnd appointments of the
Norfolk Institution hnvo been n rev
elation to mo. I have never seen nny
thing superior from whatever view
point , and the homelike air pervading
is assuredly very charming nnd must
bo of great advantage In the treat
ment of the unfortunate Inmates. It
Is more like a largo family than an
asylum , and I shall return to Now
York with a broader appreciation ol
the great state which has made such
nn Institution n possibility. "
These are also my sentiments , nnd
in lieu of the adverse criticism which
the partisan papers have been direct
ing toward the state board on account
of the appointments of the now asy
lum , It Is only fair to state that we
found no voluptuousness therein
simply sanitary cottages , built of the
best material , In a substantial man *
nor and furnished with the best furni
ture procurable wth the dea of solid
ity rather than luxury. Economy nnd
simplicity prevail throughout , and
nothing Is wasted. Even the bricks
from the burned building are being
crushed and used for walks and drive
ways , giving employment to any who
care to work , and contentment seems
to bo the watchword.
Superintendent J. M. Alden , his as
sistant , Dr. Nicholson , Steward Peters
and Secretary Gutzmer seem to be
the proper men In the right place , and
patient or visitor who falls to sue-
cuirlb to their bright Influences and
graciousness of manner are indeed be
yond hope. Sincerely ,
A. D. Garrison ,
2J10 Seward street.

View of Live Stock Markets at South
Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Manager.
South Omaha , Oct. 19. It haa been
some time since wo have had a fall
season when the supply of cattle has
been more uniformly distributed era
a more oven and generally satisfac
tory market.
The supply of fat native cattle con
tinues small and prices for the choice
grades are well sustained. The other
grades como in competition with the
range cattle and are still selling nt
moderate prices. The bulk of the re
ceipts are range cattle and will so
continue during this month nnd next.
The quality of the range cattle is
not as good ns earlier , there being
more'of the common and poorer steers
and the last runs of cow stuff.
Wilh so much food In the country
and with sheep and lambs so high ,
the demand for stockers and feeders
continues liberal and wo note an nc-
tlvo demand throughout. Wo look for
liberal receipts of nil kinds of range
cattle for a fa\v weeks and while wo
don't look for nny permanent decline ,
wo are liable to have natural reac
tions most any tlmo , when wo advise
buying cattle nnd think nil who need
any cattle should correspond with us
and plaeo their orders n noon as pos
sible.

HOUR The trade In beginning to
wnko up to the fact that old hngn
have been marketed closely and with
u good fresh meat trade and the
stocks of provisions gradually dimin
ishing , the sentiment and prospects
for much lower prices In the near fit-
I tire have changed somewhat.
As we have staled before , the coun
try must have the use of n corn crop
about six months before It Is lelloclod
In the hog supply or market and whllo
wo don't feel "bullish" enough to advocate -
vocato much permanent advance we
do not bollovo the situation warrants
good hogs selling much below $ fi.OO
this side of January. We look for bet
ter prices for the distant future for
provisions and only moderate receipts
at all markets the balanro of the year.
This market continues well In line
with the bulk selling $ , r , OIiffi.20 ( , with
top $5.30. Wo still advocate the ship
ping of cholco hogs to Chicago HO

Receipts of sheep and Iambs" for
the past week show a slight decrease
from those of a week ago , and the
prospects are that receipts of range
sheep and lambs will continue to de
crease from now on until the end of
the season ; although the Inability on
the part of the railroads to furnish
cars enough to move the stuff prompt
ly that Is ready for shipment may
cause a slight congestion hero at any
time , which will possibly eauso heavy
receipts for a day or so. The demand
oontlnuoH strong for all classes of
feeders , and the prospects are that
they will continue to sell at strong
prices and will no doubt show an ad
vance.
Lambs averaging from 50 to 00 Ibs.
are soiling from' $ ! > .00 to $0.50 ; ' 10 to
50 Hi. lambs $5.00 to $0.00 ; yearlings
$5.00 to $5.10 ; wethers $1.75 to $5.00 ,
and ewes $1.00 to $1.50.
Fat sheep prices show an advance
of fully ' 10 per cwt. from last week's
best prices , while the best lambs are
selling only steady. The percentage
of desirable killers among the receipts
Is very small , and will no doubt con-
tlnuo so until stuff commences to
como In from the feed lots. The pros
pects are that prices will continue to
advance during the next few weeks.
Lambs are selling from $0.75 to
$7.25 ; yearlings $5.40 to $0.00 ; woth-
ors $5.00 to $5.25 , with a few fancy
bunches as high as $5.50 , and owes
$1.75 to $5.00.
There is a very urgent demand for
owes that are desirable for breeding
purposes , prices ranging from $1.50 to
$5.00.
Actors Took Drives.
The lively clatter of horses' hoofs
sounded and resounded on hard Nor
folk nvenuo nnd the merry laugh and
gay llttlo shrieks of chorus girls
echoed up and down the town shortly
after noon when the seventy people ,
who came with the "Prince of Pllsen"
company , began to look around for
something to do during the afternoon.
Many of the playfolk hurried to the
llverystnbles and secured the best
horses of the town , several striking
out. for long saddle Jaunts Into the
country whllo many more clambered
Into double seated carriages flvo
girls and a man to the carriage and
drove around the town.

wildly at a pair of athletic young fel

The company scattered out toward
various hotels. Many of them are at
the Oxnard , many at the Pacific and
many others are stopping at other
places.
Around the stage entrance to the
Auditorium there were lively moments
as the singers came nnd went , sizing
up the situation. Ono of the stars
