COUNT BIRDS AND FLOWERS Mr. Sprccher , Accompanied by a Num ber of Norfolk Lads Who Enjoy tho' Sights and Wonders of the Out of Doors , Had Fun. Yesterday under the leadership of 0. F. Sprccher , some half a dozen Norfolk boys spent a day with nature , had u lunch In the woods and n "tramp" up and down the Northfork. , Walking north on First street , then following the river to Spring branch , ' the party had lunch at the junction of the creek and river. A visit to the sugar factory and a tramp back down the west side of the river ended the day's outing in the woods.

The National Live Stock Commis sion company at South Omaha , Neb. , furnishes1 us with valuable Informa tion regarding the live stock situation at this time : As suggested In some of our recent letters , the advance In the cattle mar ket has reached its limit for the pres ent at least , and we note a reaction of 10 to 40c compared with the top prices of the month , the greatess decline be ing on the common to fair grades. The newspaper and other notoriety given to the advance In cattle and beef , together with the "wordy" fight regarding post-mortem inspection of "she" stock , has curtailed the demand for beef , and the outlook for the near future Is not so encouraging. The Increase In the supply of south ern and other grass cattle , with the more liberal movement of "she" stock to some markets , has caused a good decline In these grades , and every thing competing with them has suf fered considerably , causing a very wide range in prices. Wo look for more moderate receipts next week and think the trade will rule steady or strong for desirable grades. No change here regarding "she" stock. The choice , handy cows and heifers find ready sale to outside buy > ers , but until the matter Is settled we continue to advise holding back othei grades of cows. Watch the dally pa pers and the "Investigator" for infer inntlon on this and other subjects. Write the "National" at South Oma ha regarding your stock and for anj special Information you may require The rainy weather caused' the re celpts of hogs to continue liberal ani with Chicago declining to the low point of the year , our market decllnet again , but the sharp advance In the , provision market caused a reaction and the general market averaged steady. The South Omaha market Is now well in line with all markets and only 10 [ to 20c under Chicago , the heavy hogs , | I especially the old sows , selling better I i here In proportion than any other ! grades. | The hulk of the hogs Is selling 75.85 to $0.00 and wo consider the outlook favorable for a steady or strong mar- Uet for the near future. The general sheep and lamb trade shows a little reaction from last week's best time , with prices poetically for a better demand and lighter receipts have also helped to stimulate grade. COMMOTION AT PLAINVIEW. Antelope County Man Walked There From His Home. Plalnviow , Neb. , Juno 29. Special to The News : Andrew Gable , a young man of Antelope county , hove into town and presented himself In a very strange manner , causing much commotion on our streets by his strange actions. Ho walked here from Antelope county , and was overtaken here by the sheriff. Ho was.a cigar ette fiend and had been an excessive smoker for many years. His condi tion is reported sorlous. Woman Beats Husband. Buttp Gazette : V broom stick , in the hands of nn Irate wlfo , played a most conspicuous and deeply Impres sive part In a Ilttlo scene of actual life In Butte , ono day this week. The husband cnino homo somewhat the worse for the liquor habit and the wlfo came to the conclusion that the llck-hlm habit might provo Batlflfnc- tory remedy , to prevent moro trouble of n llko nature In the future. Shu therefore ndmlnlstorod n pretty good sized dose which , strange to say , ho did not altogether appreciate. Ho went to an attorney to see what could bo done to a wife who would so far forget her vows to her lord and master - tor IIH to lulllct punishment upon his person. The attorney Informed him that there was a law to prevent a hus band from beating his wlfo , but so far as ho know there was nothing In the Nebraska code to prevent a wlfo from dealing out the corporal punishment In a manner to suit the occasion. If this bo true the women should all bo advised of the fact that for once the law gives them the advantage ever men. TWO NORFOLK BANKS TAKE STAND AGAINST PACKERS. IN THE POST-MORTEM FIGHT Live Stockmen Standing Pat Against Recent Rule Which Packers of the Country Have Adopted Regarding Pay for Diseased Cows. At least two Norfolk banks have joined In the protest against the ac tion of the packers In insisting on pur chasing cows subject to a post mortem Inspection before a settlement Is made with the purchaser. The stand taken by the packers Is agitating the entire cattle world and has produced n dead lock between the big packing firms and the llvo stock commission mon. Organized protests against the stand of the packers are pouring into the packing centers from the entire west. Shippers and commission men pro test against the packers reserving pay ment on cows until after a post-mortem examination as an Injustice to the shipper and as an opening wedge for further unfavorable regulations in the packing centers. In connection with the wave of pro test that Is passing over the west the Nebraska National bank of Norfolk wired their Chicago correspondents asking that their Influence bo used to assist the llvo stock exchange in the fight with the packers. The bank also sent the following tel egram to Swift & Co. at Chicago : Sentiment of this community unani mously condemns your position rela tive to the post-mortem inspection , Nebraska National bank of Norfolk. " That the strength of western senti ment Is appreciated is evidenced by this telegram received by the bank In reply : "Answering. Afraid you mis' understand it. Please mail mo youi understanding. " The telegram was signed by Louis F. Swift at the Unlot ; stock yards In Chicago. The presl dent of the bank sends today a brlel outline of the objectionable features In the new order Imposed by the pack ers as seen from the shipper's point ol view. In response to a telegram asking It ! position , the Norfolk National banli has wired the South Omaha Llvo Stocl < exchange approving the fight made foi the stockman's rights and advising UK commission men to keep on fighting. Taft in South Dakota. Bonesteel Pilot : The coming o : Secretary Taft to Sioux Falls , this state , has had its reward. The insnr [ gent wing of the republican part ) . claim that their leaders were grosslj s Insulted and snubbed because thej were not Invited to a private break . fast party given by Senator Kittredge . In honor of Taft. Senator Gamble ant I Governor Crawford were both ignorei .and as a result the insurgents hav ( proclaimed that Crawford Is a candl . ' date for the U. S. senate to succeec . 'Kittredge. This announcement Is n < I'surprise to those who have watchec r \ the political drift In the ruptured ranki 1 of the republican party since the elec 'tlon ' last fall. The fancied Insult o Kittredge to the Gamble faction was a golden opportunity , so they thought to let It be known that the light fo supremacy Is still to be carried on and the struggle will be watched with In terest. Senator Kittredge Is one o the big men of the United States , and ho not only has a reputation for doing things , but he has a goodly following of staunch and influential friends in this state , who will work zealously for his return to the upper house. Gov. Crawford has the backing of the at present dominant party in this state , but whether that strength Is sufficient to boost him Into the highest position In the gift of the people , In view of the record Kittredge has made , as well as his recognized ability in public matters , Is a .much disputed question. Anyhow , on with the dance , let joy be unconflned. Masonic Lodge Confers Degree. The Master Mason degree was con ferred last evening at a meeting of the masonic fraternity.

Grabs at the Engine. But the man's movement to clear the locomotive was too late. After seeming to start back he paused for an Instant and then lunged toward the oncoming Iron stallion , his outstretch ed hands clutching at the snorting en gine as though the man had some liopo of swinging upon the pilot and saving himself. But his grasp failed to bring rescue and Pllklns , before the gaze of his children and the gaze of other Ilttlo children , was cut , down and climbed over by the train wheels. No Inquest Held.
