A grain man says the reason that
cars are short In Nebraska at this time
is that the west bound freight is much
lighter than the east bound , and that
the railroads will not run empty cars
west. They arc holding empties In
the east , he says , not that thej may
haul corn east on the higher rate , but
because they will not move empty
cars west. They will hold these emp
ties until they can bo loaded for the
west , and then they will be brought
west , unloaded and distributed to the
elevators for grain.

LiKE THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Christmas at Alnsworth Resembled the
Summer Holiday ,
Alnsworth , Neb. , Dec. 27. Special
to The News : Christmas In Ains-
worth has como anil gone , and the day
was moro like the Fourth of July than
Christmas. The people of Alnsworth
never enjoyed a hotter time than they
lid from commencement to finish.
The skating rink was run all the after
noon until 7 In the evening. At 3 the
41111 club with thirty guns went out on
their grounds and had a grand time.
The masquerade ball at the Alnsworth
house was well patronized and all Join
In saying that they had a grand time.
Prof. Lattcn and Brunson furnished
the music.
DUSINESS MEN ARE FINDING OUT
WHERE THEY ARE AT.
MEANS GREAT AMOUNT OF WORK
Merchants are Taking Advantage of
the Quiet Days After Christmas to
Get This Necessary but Disagreeable
Task Out of the Way.
The Invoicing season In here. Many
of Norfolk's business houses are lak-
Ink advantage of ( he quiet week alter
Christinas to east up their accounts
and prepare for the now year. The
task that confronts some of the larger
commercial establishments is no easy
nor small one ,
In the establishments wheie thou
sands of dollars' worth of goods are
carried , the ( aklng of the Inventory
means much more than the uninitiated
can realize. Goods that have been
c \rrlcd over must he appraised at
their present value and not what they
were worth one , two or three years
ago or oven longer. New clerks ean
not set the values on such goods It
requires experienced men In the par
tlcular lino.
In the manufacturing Industries this
Is a greater task than In the retail
slores and shops. Raw material Is
constantly changing In price and what
was good last year may bo entirely
worthless when the Inventory Is taken
this year. Again , experience and the
best of judgment must bo bioughl
into play.
One place In particular comes to
mind where the entire force was en
gaged In this Invoicing work Thej
had a measuring Instrument for the
purpose of measuring cloth In the bolt
without unrolling the same. It looked
like a whole arithmetic on all four
sides and had a nlcMcd slide which
could bo set to the width and thickness
of the bolt of material which was to
be measured. Then by using some
subtraction , a little addition , and that
followed by the multiplication table
with a little division to prove the prob
lem , the cloth was measured. Now
that was dead easy and the "boss , "
who was manipulating the machine
will need to have an extra face mas
sage when Saturday night comes to
remove the wrinkles caused by Invoic
ing week.
Then , they have a machine to mea
sure the vinegar and molasses , kero
sene and other liquids , that docs away
with all that complicated figuring.
The prunes are weighed , and not
counted like the examples in mental
arithmetic , where , "if Bob has three
ipples and John takes two away from
him and throws him down how many
has Bob loft ? " No , they weigh them
and other goods of that class in the
grocery department.
Take the work In a department store
if you want something of interest for
the clerks who have an Inventory on
hand.
The wholesale fruit man also has a
picnic at this season of the year when
ho counts iij ) his bananas , oiangcs , ap
ples ; but still he Is fortunate , as ho
can use dry measure , and weights
help him out. It is the hen who haste
to stop and count her eggs , who has a
lesson in numbers , as eggs are sold by
the dozen In this county , instead of
by the stick , as is the custom In the
East Indies , whore they are tied be
tween two sticks and sold at so much
per stick.
There arc many companies and
firms in the larger cities who pay as
much as $25,000 every year for Invoice
expenses and they consider It as one
of their absolutely necessary expenses
in order to know what Is required to
expend for improvements , and to settle
tlo the size of the dividends they must
pay the stockholders about annual
election time.
Unfortunately , Norfolk has no largo
institutions of that class , but the busi
ness men hero have their troubles and
costs , as well , if not on so large a
scale.

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK COMMIS
SION COMPANY.
View of the Live Stock Market at
South Omahn , Neb. , C. A. Mai-
lory , Mgr.
South Omaha , Dec. 28. The usual
holiday dullness IH with us In Ihe cat
tie department. With mild weather
mill the poultry HIMIHOII In full force ,
the demand for beef Is naturally lim
ited and Ihe market for cattle ruled
slow and weak , with prices around 1'isl
week's quotations for nearly all
grades. We have faith In a belter
uarliet later on for fat steers and
butcher stock , bill still believe II good
judgment to market cattle whenever
they are In proper condition , but do
not consider It wise to ship half fat
cattle with the expectation of getting
lop prices.
The Omaha market Is holding up
well compared with the other markets ,
and all who are In the Missouri river
territory will do well to keep In touch
with the "National" at these markets
Hogs. The hog trade continues to
surprise the packers , and prices ad
vanced until the bulk sold huro on
Tuesday at $5.10 < fi > fi 15. Since then
the receipts have Increased somewhat
and wo note a reaction of fi < f ? > 10c , but
good bogs are still good for $5,00 hero
Conditions are favorable for a good
hog market during the season , but na
tural reactions both ways will con
tinue.
Wo advise making hogs heavy when
ever conditions are favorable and ship
ping whenever they are ready , but
every farmer should keep In the hog
business to the fullest extent of hN
ability to handle them along the right
lines.
Sheep. The sheen and lamb sltua
tlon Ibis week shows no chaime from
last week's close. This being the
midst of the holiday season , the de
mand for dressed meats Is very poor ,
consequently the markets for live
sheep and lambs are very uneven.
Packers' buyers are Indifferent when
selecting stock ; and If they can buy
enough to keep a fair supply of meat
on hand at prices that suit them , they
are willing to take care of what is
coming to market. Wo do not look
for much change In conditions until
after the holidays. Then there will
he a natural reaction and the demand
will bo good for stuff at strong prices ,
anil we can sec no reason why It will
not continue so throughout the whole
month of January as there will not be
any regular movement of any very
great amount of stuff from the feedlots
lots until after February 1. We ad
vise keeping In close touch with us
before shipping during the next week.
As the quality of the offerings at
all markets has not been very good ,
we quote normal values for good
stock : Lambs $7.25ijj > 7.50 ; yearlings ,
$0.00(0 ( > r .50 ; wethers , $5.75fJG.OO ( ) ; ewes
$1.85fii,25 ( ; fair to good stock lambs ,
$0.50(0)7.00 ( ) ; yearlings , $5.75(0)0.00 ( ) ;
wethers , $5.25@5.CO ; owes , $125 ( 4.75.
U. P. Buying Land.
Mr. Hullard of the Union Pacific
land department , was In the city yes
terday purchasing some "right of
way" for their new North Platte ex
tension. The land was purchased from
Mr. A. P. Olmstead of this city , bill
It Is located In Lincoln county , where
the new line Is bolng built to open
up some of the Sixth district , that
those Klnkaid ho-nesteads may bo
more easy of access. There are some
good homestead" out In thnt section
which the no v ri i will open up and
some day will be just as much of a
