SENSATIONAL RECORDS WERE
MADE OVER UNION PACIFIC.
ARE NINE NEW SPF.ED RECORDS
One of Them Was the Run of "Death
Valley" Scotty , the Nevada Miner ,
Over a Route Now Traversed Dally
by the New Los Angeles Limited.
In the year Just closed there were
nine new high-speed records made on
the railroads of the United States , the
average varying from ! I. . ' ) to 7 ! ) miles
an hour. Among them were two high
ly sensational records , anil singularly
enough both of these were through the
V west over Union Pacific lines. These
were the runs by "Death Valley" Scott ,
the miner who was supposed to have
been shot a few days ago , and the
other by 13. II. llarrlman , president of
the Union Pacific. "Death Valley"
Scott made a run from Los Angeles to
Chicago at a rale of speed averaging
fifty miles an hour. Over the line
which his train traversed there Is now
a new dally train breaking regular-
train transcontinental records the
new Los Angeles Limited which re
cently made Its Initial trip with thirty
newspaper men aboard as guests of
the railroads. This train runs through
the famous "Death Valley. " some
where in which is the mysterious mine
of Scotty.
The nine record-breaking trains
were :
Oct. 23 Harrlnmn special Oakland
to .lersey City , .1.2I19 miles ; average
speed -M.HO.
July 9 "Death Valley" Scott's spe
cial , Ix > s Angeles to Chicago , 2,210

Fort Wayne , 131 miles ; average 77.81
June 8 18-hour ( Iyer on Pennsylva
nla railroad. East Tolleston to Don

Mr. Harriman's journey of 7,775
miles from Yokohoma to New Yorl
was made in 13 days , 1C hours , 13 min
utes. His train started east live hours
after he got off the steamer at San
Francisco.
The highest average speed made by
the Harriman special was 19.1 miles
from Chicago to Buffalo , 532 miles
The next best average was 19 miles
an hour over the Union Pioiflc , from
Green River , Wyo. , to Omaha , Nob. ,
821 miles.
Previous to the run of the "Death
Valle > " Soott special the best average
time from Los Angeles to Chicago was
38.55 miles an hour.
The notable thing about the 1905
train performances Is that the trains
were heavier than those of previous
years.

View of the Live Stock Markets at
South Omaha , C. A. Mallory ,
Manager.
South Omaha , Jan. 3. The new year
opens with moderate receipts of cat
tle at South Omaha , and with a good
demand for all kinds , prices advanced
IV 15 to 25c compared with last week.
This advance applies to butcher stock
and nearly all kinds of stockers and
feeders , especially those of good qual
ity.
ity.We
We have had a general snow storm
throughout the western country , al
though the weather Is mild and the
now fall moderate and is generally
beneficial. The winter up to date has
been very satisfactory and all kinds of
live stock are In good condition.
We look for some Increase In the
receipts the coming week and would
not be surprised to see a little reac
tion from the high point , but we still
have confidence In the market for all
kinds cf fat cattle and would not ad
vise shipping -half-fat cattle , unless
they are of poor quality. In the ab
sence of quotations , we quote prices
for the general run of cattle and butch
er stock from steady to 15c lower than
Chicago. Strictly choice cattle , how
ever , are still selling proportionately
better In Chicago than hero. Wo be--
lleve this condition will change later
In the "season.
Hogs. The hog trade continues sat
isfactory to the soiling Interest. With
modento supplies and a strong de
mand , prices have boon well sustained ,
and the bulk of the hogs this week
have sold from ? 5.05 to J5 15. with the
top nt $5 25. Our prices this week
have not been quite In line with the
Chicago market , but with the In
creased receipts tint wo anticipate
next week , wo believe the markets will
como together again , and , therefore ,
advise our readers to watch the
"river" markets cirefully and always
send their hogs where they can got
the best results. Wo give our per
sonal attention to this branch of the
business as well as the others , and
laving throe experienced hog sales-
uen In our now oignnl/.atlon. wo know
vo are In position to give our patrons
he very best services and results.
Sheep. The demand for sheep and
aiubs is considerably better this week ,
lue mostly to the fact that the holi
days have passed and the general con
ditions of all branches of trade have
become more settled and getting back
Into even channels.
Prices for all strictly fat sheep and
ambs advanced ISO toI0c this week ,
but the quality of the offerings was
leer today , consequently the market
closed 15e lov.er than the extreme
ilgh point for the week. Wo again
wish to caution feeders about shipping
his half-fat stuff. It Is not wanted
mil should be kept back and made
isnod.Ve look for moderate receipts
luring the next week , and can see no
reason why good stuff will not contin
ue to sell at slrong prices.
The llrsl real winter weather felt
this season In the east has commenced ,
which will bn a decided help to the
dressed meat markets.
Communicate with us from the near

PLANT MOVED FROM NORFOLK
STRIKES BAD LUCK WEST.
LOCKWOOD HAS QUIT COMPANY
T. M. Hull Has Returned From Lamar -
mar , Colo. , Where the Norfolk Sugar
Factory Was Shipped , and He Tells
a Tale of Woe of Conditions.
T. M. Hull Is back from Lamar
Jolo. , and his repot t ol the sugar busi
ness In the beet district is not oneour-
iglng. lie says that a shortage ol
beets of course makes a shortage ol
sugar. J. N. Bundlck , who was man-
ugor of the company when located
hero Is now In charge of the sales de
partment and located at Denver. Su
perintendent Lockwood has left the
company but has not disclosed what
he expects to engage In.
The trouble with the beet sugar busi
ness everywhere this year except
among the Mormons in Southern Al-
bei ta , Canada , Is a shortage of the
crop. In southern Alberta they em
ploy a considerable amount of Chinese
and Japanese labor , and the large em
igration from the old countries brings
consldoiablo cheap labor and workers
who can not afford to farm on a large
scale , consequently they take up the
culture of beets which requires bin
small capital.
There Is also considerable contro
versy legarding the tariff on sugar
from the Philippines. The Minneapo
lis Journal had the following perti
nent remarks one day last week wh'ch
is a straw showing which way the wind
blows , and all people Inteiested In the
s\\eet topic will read it with interest :
Industry Grows Slowly.
" has been
"The beet-sugar Industry
of rather slow growth , and yet It
seems destined some day to become a
very important business In this coun
try. It does not appear , however , that
the admission of sugar from the Phil
ippines at a reduced rate or free duty
would materially increase importa
tion. The market for sugar from the
Philippines Is in the orient , on the
Asiatic coast and In Japan. It will
command a better price there when
the producers are able to show to the
consumers In China and Japan that
they can ship their sugar to the United
States , If necessary to get a good
price. That's why the Filipinos want
us to take off the duty on their sugar ;
not because they expect to sell any
considerable amount hero.
"One reason why beet sugar falls to
command much support for its claim
to protection , even against the pro
ducts of our island possessions , is the
large control of the Industry by the
sugar trust. The consumer Is slow
to respond to a demand for protection
for an Industry so thoroughly dominat
ed by the trust as the beet-sugar busi
ness is coming to be. At the same
time , It Is not safe to say that it is
not an Important Industry , at least
prcspectlvely. It has not been serl
ously damaged by the concessions
granted to Cuban and Porto Hlcan pro-
duceis , and wo do not believe that the
reduction of the duty on sugar from
the Philippines , or even admission
free , would affect it materially. "

INSTITUTION NEAR GRAVE OF NO
TORIOUS JACK SULLY.
IS PUT UP AT A COST OF $18,000
Dr. James Duchnnan , Founder of the
Dig Rosebud Hospital , Entertained
a Number of Friends During the
Holidays Story of Sully'a Death.
Boneslcel. S. IX , Jan. I. Among the
historical places In the Kosebud res
ervation Is the little valley which Is
known on "Sully Flats , " once the home
of the noted outlaw Jack Sully , who
bid dellance to all law and olllceis. A
party of returning visitors who spent
Ihe holidays tell a dlffeernt story to
what they would have done ton or llf
Ipon years ago , had they vtsllod Uio
place then.
Near the place whore Jack Sully wan
Killed and burled , there now rlHoaiipon
Ihe prairie a twenty-live room sanita
rium which was built by Dr. James
Buclmnnnn at a cost of $18,0(10 ( It Is
modern In every respect and when one
stops to think of the history connected
with the surroundings , It seems very
much out of place.
A largo number of the Hosobnd people
ple were entertained by the doctor at
a feast on Chilstmas. and Iho history
of the days of Jack Sully were gone
over by some of the early settlers who
lived west of the river many years ago
By stopping to the window ono could
look down upon a small picket enclo
sure , which marks the grave of the
brave western outlaw who was called
to his happy hunting ground two years
igci by United Slates marshals while
fleeing from his home. They had
caught him In a trap in his own strong
hold and when ho ret used to siirrundoi
and opened a light , ho was shot down
by them.
The present monument which has
boon built within the hist year Is a
lilting testimonial to the growth of
the Hose-hud country , and shows that
civilization Is rapidly wiping out the
landmarks of bygone days when In
dians and outlaws ol Union vied with
ach other In creating the greatest dis
turbances. The land of the tcpeo Is
moving to the west , while the mansion
of the while man is springing up in
Ills footsteps which can never be ro
traced.
ROSEWATER HERE WEDNESDAY
Date Has Been Changed for Sewerage
Meeting to January 10.
The date upon which Andrew Hose
water , city engineer of Omaha , wil
address the people of Norfolk upoi
the proposition of establishing a sew
erage In Norfolk , has been change *
from next Friday night \Vednosda >
evening , January 10.
It Is to be hoped that the entire
people of Norfolk will turn out to Us
ton to Mr Itosewater's address , as tlu
subject which lie will explain In do
( ill Is a very vital ono for Norfolk jus
now. The question of a sewerage sys
torn In Norfolk has been agitated only
during Iho past few months and there
is much for Norfolk to learn regarding
the proposition. It Is generally rec
ognised that sewerage would make the
city so much more clean , so much
more healthful and so much more at
tractive , to say nothing of the increase
in property values , that it Is desirable
at almost any cost.
AT THETHEATER
An Aristocratic Tramp ,
fl'-rom Thursday's Dally. )
Kllroy & Ilritton's production of an
Aristocratic Tramp was given at the
Auditorium last night and all were
surprised , as It Is a good show of the
class. The company carries special
machinery and apparatus to produce
the scenic effects , thus making the
stage settings far ahead of the aver
age plays that visit Norfolk.
Harrington with his make-up as an
Aristocratic Tramp kept the house In
good humor , while the street waifs ,
Uettie Dyhme and Willie Dare , came
in close seconds.
The plot of course is a western ono ,
and is characteristic of a certain typo
to be found In the largo cities both
east and west. The automobile race
and the "Sunset Limited" train on
the stage were well produced. The
specialties were extra and It is doubt
ful if bettor ever appeared behind the
footlights In Norfolk.
