ASSISTANT GENERAL SUPERIN
TENDENT IS TRANSFERRED.
WITH SIX TRAIN DISPATCHERS
A Telegram From Fremont Says Nor
folk Railroad Official Is to go Perma
nently , According to "Official" State
ment That Is Denied Here.
It Is reported by telegraph from Fre
mont today to The News that It has
boon officially announced at that pluco
that operation hoadquartorH of the
Northwestern railroad are to bo reestablished -
| established In Fremont , beginning next
, Sunday.
The report further Bays that Assistant -
) ant General Superintendent Wallers
and a force of nix train dispatchers
are to be taken from Norfolk to Fremont
mont the first of the coming week to
begin work there , Hoamm for the
move Is said to bo growing Fremont
traf lie.
At Northwestern railroad headquar
ters in Norfolk today , when the tele
gram WIIH road to the railroad oIliclalH ,
It was stated that the report received
from I'roiiioiit Is In error.
While It IB true that Assistant Gon-
I oral Superintendent Walters nnd a
| force of six train dispatchers will go
, to Fremont from Norfolk to begin
> work next Sunday , yet It Is not true
; that any "olllclal announcement that
operating hoadquarterB arc to bo re
established In Fremont , " has been
mttilO ,
Assistant Gonwal Superintendent
Walters Is not In the city , having gone
to Iowa to spend Thanksgiving , but it
f is said at railroad headquarters that
ho will bo transferred to Fremont
I merely temporarily , to handle a con-
condition of business that has
piled up there. Whether or not ho
and bis six train dispatchers will re-
j main at Fremont , remains a matter
> for the future to solve. No one , either
I In Fremont or out of Fremont , is able
I to say that the arrangement will bo
, permanent.
The telegraphic report of the alleged
transfer is as follows :
Fremont , Nob. , Nov. 29. Special to
The News : It Is officially announced
here today that operating headquar
ters of the Northwestern railroad will
be re-established here beginning next
Sunday. Six train dispatchers will bo
transferred from Norfolk to Fremont
Assistant General Superintendent Wai
ters and his force will be moved from
Norfolk to Fremont. Growing traf
flc through Fremont compels the
move. "
How Could It be Official ?
"How could such an announcerren
como officially from Fremont , " the
headquarters hero suggested , "when
there are no officials in Fremont , save
a trainmaster ? Norfolk is the enl >
headquarter point for the Northwest
ern road in the Nebraska & Wyoming
division , and Norfolk knows nothiiif ,
of any such 'ofllclal' announcement. '
As a matter of fact there is everj
reason to believe that the transfer Is-
but a temporary arrangement. Th
railroad building out of Casper , the
Boncsteol branch , the Scribner & .
Oakdale branch , and the line betwcei
Deadwood and Missouri Valley , arc
all directly radiated from this cento
and it is an easy matter to dlspatcl
trains between Lincoln and Fremon
and Hastings and Fremont , either ou
of Norfolk or , by means of one of tw
> dispatchers , out of Fremont.
Assistant General Superintenden
Walters was but recently moved fron
Sioux City to Norfolk and it was stat
ed at that , time that the reason fo
the change was the growing Import
ance of Norfolk as a railroading polnl
Further , it was recently officially ai
nounced that a new headquarter
building will be built in Norfolk to nc
commodato the officials , since the num
ber of them has been increased her
by the addition of General Superinten
dent C. C. Hughes and Assistant Gei
oral Superintendent Walters , togctho
with Trainmaster Mount and Genera
Iloadmastor King.
The news dispatch , of course , mere
ly says that "operating headquarters , "
are to be established in Fremont , no
reference being made to a transfer of
division headquarters or of reestablishing
lishing division headquarters at Fre
mont ,
At headquarters here , when asked if
the arrangement would be permanent ,
, „ it was said , "Of course it Is hard to
tell what may happen in the future.
Just now , however , the arrangement
has not gone beyond the temporary
stage. "

Views of the Live Stock Markets a
South Omaha , Neb. , C. A. Mai-
lory , Manager.
South Omaha , Nov. 29 The moderate
orate receipts of cattle and the change
in the weather has caused a good re
action in the market , prices ruling 1
ffT25c higher than last week for al
grades of fat steers and butciers
stock. Wo look for fairly liberal sup
plies next week but also look for a
good demand and think anything goo <
enough for the packers will sell wel
Christmas cattle are not plentifu
but are in the usual demand and i
moderate supply can bo sold to goo
advantage and we advise shipping thl
class of cattle during the first ten day
of December.
Stockers and feeders in fair supply
with prices well sustained for desir
able grades while common steers and
heifers are selling at low prices.
Short fed or warmed up cattle are
slow sale and those of good quality
should be hold back and made better ,
as we think the outlook warrants so
doing.
We quote good to choice fat cows
$3.00@3.50 ; fair to good , $2.50@3.00 ;
canners and cutters $2.002.50 ;
Christmas cattle ? C.OO@550 ; good to
choice fat steers $5.2500.00 ; fair to
good f4.500i5.25.
Hcgs The largo receipts of hogs
expected by the packers failed to ma
terialize and with a sharp advance in
the provision market , the trade ruled
active and 10@20c higher than last
week. The packers are still "talk-
Ing" large receipts and lower prices
but are taking the hogs at the advance.
We still believe the general supply
is at least normal but don't look for
continued liberal receipts until after
the holidays.
The bulk of the hogs today are sell
ing $4.8004.85. with top $4.90 , which
Is still in line with the other markets.
Watch the provision market care-
full > and don't be surprised to see a
little reaction most any time next
week.
Sheep and lambs. This being prac
tically the end of the season for ship
ments of sheep and lambs from the
! range , our receipts are much lighter
and the quality much poorer. Very
little fat stuff Is coming and the de

strong nnd prices are fiOc per cwt.

football from college sports , " Dr
Northrup continued "On the contrary.
I am very strongly In favor of Its re
tention There is no question but
that changes should bn made In the
game as playc-d at prosi-nt. In my
opinion the rules can be so amended
fis to make the plays more open , more
punting and end runs and fewer masi
formations and scrimmages Therein
lies ihe rhlcf danger of brutality or
of foul play What should be done Is
to make th < > game one of skill rather

The word results means a whole Ir-t to tbe farmer of to-day and it
especially attractivr to the homeseekcr or those sec ! np new locations.
If we tell you of a country where yu arc sure cf success , will you
believe us ? It is only necessary for y u to farm the land and the
best results will follow a State which the government reports will
show leads in the production of wheat. It also ranks among the first
in the raising of com. alfalfa , timothy and other products , together
with stock raising. We speak of
The great State of the West , where lands can be purchased from $5
to $30 per acre which equals the returns of the $ M to $1 0 per acre
lands of other States. EASTEHN COLORADO is identical m most
respects and the same opportunities are offered there. Buy quick
while the lands are cheap and secure the benefit of an excellent invest
ment. THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY touches the
heart of this rich agricultural region and extremely low rates are
offered , allowing stop-over at pleasure in cenain territory for inspec
tion of lands , etc. Write us and we will send you free descriotive
