NATIONAL LIVE STOCK COMMIS
SION COMPANY.
View of the Live Stock Markets nt
South Omaha , Neb. , C. A. Mnl-
lory , Mgr.
South Omaha , Nov. 1C. Wo feel
Hiiro that our renders and friends will
pardon a little expression of our prldo
and satisfaction when they know that
under the "National banner" wo have
handled more stock slnco the consoli
dation than at any other time nlnco
the bouse was opened at South Oma
ha.
Wo appreciate fully the many kind
expressions , congratulations , etc. , that
have been extended to us from vari
ous sources , and desire to once more
assure our readers that wo will con
tinue to give them the very best ad
vices and sorvlco at all times.
Cattle We are fast nearlng the
close of the range cattle season , am !
as usual , during the last half of No
vember the quality of the offerings Is
not very good and with the packing
bouses , cold storage plants , etc. , well
supplied with low-priced beef , tbo cattle -
tlo trade this week ruled slow and un
satisfactory to the selling Interests.
Prices for nearly all grades are the
lowest of the season , and while wo do
not look for much further decline , we
do not anticipate much change In the
market for a week or two at least.
Owing to the fact that packers are
well supplied with low-priced range
beof. the demand for short fed native
cattle continues unsatisfactory and
prices are uneven , but generally much
lower than feeders expected. In fact ,
the bulk of this class of cattle Is los
ing money and has a tendency to fur
ther discourage people In buying
strong weight feeders.
From the best Information at hand ,
wo believe there are fully as many
cattle In the country as one year ago
and A\hllo there may not bo as many
cattle on full feed for the lain wlntei
and early spring markets , we do no !
think the situation warrants a belief
In very high prices.
Stock and feeding cattle , however
are now down to n moderate basis , am :
wo have benn buying a good man >
young cattle of good quality that
looked to us well worth the money ,
and still nd\lsc nil of our readers who
Intend to purchase this season to place
their orders as sonn as possible , as
the supply of range cattle will last
only n comparatively short time.
Our readers should lie very careful
about shipping short-fed or warmed-up
'cattle , as they are soiling very low ,
and under circumstances , wo advise
holding this class of cattle , especially
; those of good quality , until later in
I the season.
I Hogs. Receipts of bogs are show-
ing n seasonable increase nnd
I , as sug
gested by us in recent letters , the mar
ket is still on the decline , price reachIng -
' Ing the lowest point of the season this
week. The quality shows some Im
provement and the range in prices
very narrow. The bulk of hogs at the
present limn Is solllncr at $1.70 to
$1.75. These prices are well In line
with Chicago , nnd until the market
strikes bottom and begins to react , wo
believe shippers tributary to this mar
ket will do well to keep their hogs
coming hero.
I Sheep. There has not been any Im-
i provement this week in sheep and
lamb prices over last week's close.
The fat stuff sold about steady Mon
day , with a little advance again Tues-
i day , but this advance was lost Wednes
day. Our receipts have not been at
nil heavy , but the packers seemed to
bo well filled up with mutton , and with
the prospect of a lighter demand for
dressed meat about Thanksgiving
time , they nro buying their supplies
as much lower as they possibly can.
While receipts will bo light for the
next few days , there Is but little prospect -
'
pect of prices showing any advance
There is only a fair demand for feed
ers at last week's lowest prices , as
the quality of this class of stuff Is
poor , and It being late In the season ,
feeders do not want these extremely
thin feeders.
There are a few cars of short-fed
stuff cumins to market , which are
meeting with poor reception , as the
pneVorH do not care much for this
clnss of stuff for mu'ton and feeders

FAINTING BERTHA AGAIN.
Woman Who Attracted Attention at
Pierce , Docs a Stunt.
Fainting Bertha Llchccko of Omaha ,
who attracted considerable attention
it a G. A. It. reunion held In Plerco n
year ago last summer , has como Into
lotorlety again. An Omaha report
says :
"Fainting Bortha" Llobccko played
i Hliir engagement recently as the dls-
resHed damsel , rescued by two gal-
ants from the Insane asylum at Kan-
; akeo , 111.
According to the story as the pollco
indcrstnnd It , Bertha WIIH sent to Kan-
uikoo after having served a term In
ho .lollot penitentiary for robbery in
Chicago. The two men called on Her-
ha at the asylum , and wore allowed
o see her In the "screen" room.
While the guards wore momentarily
absent from the room the visitor burst
> pen a door leading Into the yards nnd
nrrlod Borlhn to a buggy hitched oiit-
qhlo.
Whether It IB a case of kidnaping
> r rescue the asylum authorities don't
mow , but It looks llko the latter. No
trace of the fugitives has been dis
covered Hlnco the buggy disappeared
from vlow after the thrilling escape.
Bertha Is 21 years old. ravlshlngly
beautiful , nnd the daughter of respec-
lablo parents who reside in East Oina-
Im. Her reputation as a head-liner In
criminal specialties was made scarce
ly before she was out of short skirts.
Her beauty and her ability to simulate
n faint are the chief articles of her
stock In trade. The usual method she
pursues Is to outer a crowded hotel
lobby , faint In the arms of a dcdla-
moned gentleman and get bis stud ,
watch or pockctbook while "coming
to. "
Her spectacular career has resulted
In making her winning face of the
central figures In the rogues' galleries
of Omaha , Chicago , Denver , Minneap
olis , Kansas City , St. Joseph , Lincoln
and a score of other cities.
While she has been under arrest in
many jails , she has served but short
periods in the penitentiary. She has
been frequently pronounced Insane ,
but has bad little trouble in securing
discharges from asylums. She was
committed to the Illinois Institution
after her case had been passed upon
by famous criminologlcal experts who
frankly acknowledge themselves puz
zled.
MORE EVIDENCE THAT STUDENT
WAS TIED AND BLINDFOLDED.
KNEW THE TRAIN WAS COMING
But , Blindfolded and Helpless , the Boy
Determined to Stand In the Middle
of the Track and Run the Risk of
Being Lifted by Pilot.
Mount Vcinon , Ohio , Nov. 9. Detec
tive Grim of Cincinnati has been used
by Prosecuting Attorney Stillwell to
gather evidence in Gambler nnd Mount
Vcrnon against the men believed to
be guilty of causing the death of Stu
art Plerson , the Kenyon college stu
dent. Grim has furnished the coroner
the names of the men who can testify
to circumstances Incriminating cer
tain Individuals already under suspi
cion.
cion.Grim
Grim testified that ho viewed the
body of Plerson In Cincinnati , nnd
that the marks on the ankles and
wrists were from ropes , and Indicat
ed that Plerson had been tied to the
tracks with the use of ropes.
Prosecutor Stillwell considers this
the most Important testimony yet
brought forward which shows that it
Is a part of the Initiatory rlto to order
the candidates to prostrate them
selves blindfolded , at the order of
their tormentors. In at least ono case ,
that of Paul Barber of the Zetn Alpha
fraternity , this ceremony was carried
out on the railroad bridge.
The authorities have not yet pro
cured positive evidence that the boy
was tied , though , according to their
statements , they have had until now
no doubt that this was the case. But
now , with evidence as to the custom
mentioned , nnd with the positive
knowledge that the lad was lying pros
trate , face downward , when ho was
struck , they regard It as not only not
Improbable , but almost a certainty
that ho was ordered to remain in the
center of the bridge until the whistle
of the regular train nt 10 o'clock
should bo heard ; that the special en
gine rounding the curve at a mile a
minute gave the Initiating party no
time to rescue him ; that , blindfolded ,
ho could not escape , and that as a
wild chance for life he remained be
tween the rails in the hope that the
train would clear his body.

MADISON COUNTY DRUGGISTS
FORM AN ASSOCIATION.
MEET HERE TWICE EVERY YEAR
The Pill Rollers of This County Met
at the Pacific Hotel Here Yesterday
Afternoon and Elected Officers.
Dozen Were Present.
Druggists of Madison county yester
day afternoon perfected an orginlza-
tion to bo known as the Madison
County , Nebraska , A. R. D. , nn auxil
iary of the National Association of Re
tail Druggists. There were about a
dozen druggists from over the county
at the meeting , which was held at the
Pacific hotel parlors , and the pill roll
ers enjoyed a delightful afternoon.
The ashoclatlon will hold two meet
ings each year , both of them to be In
Norfolk. The organization was effect
ed by M. Whipple , a representative of
the national association , nnd the pur
pose of the orRanl/.atlon Is to fight the
cut rate druggists and promote mutual
Interests.
The following officers were elected
for the first year :
President. John Newhall of Tllden
Vice president , Asa K. Leonard ,
Norfolk.
Treasurer , George n. Christoph ,
Norfolk.
I Secretary , J. Earle Harper , Norfolk.
The executive board was chosen as
follows : John Ncwhnll , Tilden ; Lew
Young , Meadow Grove ; Tom Morris ,
HuttlP Creek.
Although the purpose of the orga
nization is to work against cut throat
druggists , that feature Is not empha
sized In Northern Nebraska because
In this territory there is no cutting of
rates. The social side of tbo organi
zation will be the strong feature here
and the druggists will meet Just as
the physicians do and the dentists ,
twice a year.

A SALE OF SPURIOUS TICKETS
CAUSES TROUBLE.
CROWDS DEMAND ADMITTANCE
When It Is Found that Tickets Held
by Many of Them are Fakes They
Created .a Jam In the Foyer that
Threatened Serious Consequences.
Now York , Nov. 1C. Great confu
sion nnd disorder were caused last
night in the lobby of the Majestic
theater by the sale of spurious tickets
by speculators.
During the trouble Miss Alice Roosevelt
velt , Congressman Longworth , Doug
las Robinson , Miss Roosevelt's cous
in , nnd Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van-
derbllt arrived at the theater.
About 200 excited men and women
were crowded In the lobby demanding
entrance to the theater and asking
why the tickets they held wore re
fused by the management Miss
Roosevelt nnd her party wore In Ignor-
nnco of the cause of the trouble nnd
tried to elbow their way through the
crowd , which so Jammed the lobby
that progress was practically impos
sible.
Those in front were told that their
tickets were not good , but not satisfied
with this explanation , they tried to
storm the swinging doors of the foyer
Then Manager Flaherty appeared and
told the angry men and women that
many of the tickets they had bought
of speculators wore "fake" and that
ho could not honor them. He said per
sons who bad bought the tickets could
get redress by going back to the
street and finding the men who bad
sold them.
Early in the evening a man for
whom the police are now looking weld
several tickets which were good imi
tations of the regular ones. Ho was
trying to sell more to Harvey Young ,
a ticket speculator , who was on the
sidewalk near the place. Young saw
what was going on and spoke to n
policeman. When the man who was
selling the tickets saw the pollco'imn
coming he dropped what tickets ho
had and ran across the circle and
made his escape. He had not gene
100 yards when the trouble bufan In
the lobby.
In the meantime Miss Roosevoltantl
tlio members of her party had man
aged to edge their way well into the
lobby and found themselves In the
center of the "mill. " Those behind
them were crowding forward , holding
tickets which they announced in loud
tones they had purchased at the box
office , and demanded that they bo al
lowed to enter the theater. Their ap
peals were unheeded as those who hid :
been swindled were bent on reaching
the sidewalk and finding the ptrbons
who had sold them the "fako" tickets.
Women's Gowns Torn.
In the disorder that followed wo
men's gowns were torn , opera capos
(
were pulled from their owners' backs
and hats knocked off.
I Miss Roosevelt and those who ac
companied her , in the meantime nad
i crowded close to ono of the walls , and
I at last succeeded in almost fightiug
, their way to where the doorman stood.
This door was closed , but Mr. Robin
son showed the man his tickers and
the party was admitted.
The crowd had become so bolster-
ous that Manager Flaherty decided to
adml.t as many of those who had imi-
I tatlon tickets as he uad room for.
The others at last wont away otngust-
ed , although they said they did not
blame the management.
INJURED NORTHWESTERN BRIDGE | >

Had Sustained a Bad and Dangerous
Bruise on the Head , a Doubly Frac
tured Wrist and Gashed Face.
Bob Eccles , the popular Northwest
ern bridge Inspector who was Injured
by the explosion of his gasoline veloc
ipede between Wlnnetoon and Crcigh-
ton yesterday morning , was brought
to Norfolk last night and taken to his
home at South Norfolk. Upon exam
ination it was found that he sustained
a dangerous bump on the side of his
head , a doubly fractured wrist and a.
badly gashed face. The wound at the
side of the head , which has caused a
largo swelling there , Is the only se
rious feature of the Injuries received ,
and it is this which Is being watched
with most anxiety.
Mr. Eccles rested as well as could
bo expected last night and was kept
perfectly quiet. No Internal Injuries

good care , It is thought that the pa
tient will recover.
