THE OMAHA DAILY BEfe SATURDAY BtAY 18. I * I STOCK YARDS MANACEPNT. tloporta or a Ohnngo Stir Up a Broozo. AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. PAXTON. tlio Itiislncns of the Company In H L SnlihfhctoryjConttlilon Men no- IIIR Attitude or tlio limit Itoiuln. Mr. 1'nxton Talks. The first nnd exclusive publication in Tun /JBB that a radical change in the manage- tncnl of the Omaha stock yard * In contem plated by the company ban stirred us quite a breeze In tbnt locality , especially nmong the brokers , . .iany of whom have for a long tlmo been secretly urgi.ig TUB Uns to criticise Iho management of the yards. Hon. William A. Cnxtouvns found by a i-cportor , who wns Instructed lo ascertain , if "possible , what causes existed for the move- 'mcnt reported to Imvo been maao for a change In the management of the stock yards. l\lr , Paxton's reply wns somewhat evaslvo. Ho said that tbo business of the stockyards waspt present in a very satisfactory coudi- * tlon ; that more stoclc wns being received this i ear than last , nnd that a very encour aging Increase bud marked the business ot the company from the day It commenced to receive stoclc. Ho was proud of the fact that lie had been one ot tlio Incorporate of a company which has raised Omaha In flvo years to the third packing center In Iho United States. Ho conlldont- ly believed that within two years Omaha would much second plnco as n t > ork-pacitlng center. In support of this belief ho said that the great stock-raising region of the west was tributary to Omaha. Kansas City was , however , endeavoring by every possible uicuns to take from this terri tory that which naturally would come to Omaha If the business was properly ivorUed. " "JR It true thai Iho railroads have bcon dis criminating against Omtihal" "Tho railroads have been treating us very fairly , in my opinion. It Is true that they have had an eye to the long haul , but the 13. & . M. shows n vnry kind disposition towards Omaha. The worst feature in this railroad mailer Is the charge of $0 a car across the Union Pacific bridge for every car of slock coining from Sveslorn Iowa. The Union Pacific charges that amount for hauling a car from Council Bluffs to thu slock yards. Wo have been \vorklng hard for some tlmo past to have this rate reduced , and at ono time wo succeeded in gotling the Union Pacific to agree to a rate of $4 a car for this service , provided the lou'n roads would make up tholr curs of Block Into a train In the Union Pacific yards at the transfer bo that the Union Pacific might hitch an engine to It nnd take It to the stockyards at South Omaha. This system , however , of handling the stock consignments from west ern Iowa did not provo satisfactory , and the greater part of the stock which comes across the river , to-day , is charged for at the rate Of 80. "i'ho South Omaha Stockyards company nnd Iho pnelters nro nowcngngod In an effort to Induce the railroads in Iowa to make it possible for shippers to send their slock to this market. The lown roads have stub bornly fought all previous attempts lo bring Block hero because they want the long haul ' to Chicago on the business. They bavo treated Omuhu very unfairly In this matter , even going so fur as to switch car loads of slock on to intermediate side tracks , and leave thorn there for ton hours before bring ing them to the transfer , for the solo purpose bf rendering the shipment of stock to this market unprofitable. "And this is nol all. It is next to impos sible for a shipper of stock In * western Iowa to receive an empty car for the purpose of _ ehlpping stock westward , but when ho asks tor curs on which to ship stock to Chicago , thcro is not the slightest delay in gelling them. This is a mutter which the Intor-slalo commerce commission will have to take hold of sooner or later , and it it is the last thing I do before I die , I mean to bring these Iowa roads lo tlmo. Every stock shipper within a hundred miles of Omaha ouuht to and would ship his stock to this market If the railroads \vouldmccthlmbalf way. The nowspapeis ought to thoroughly investigate this mutter and nld in the movement to compel the Iowa roads to glvo Omaha a square deal In this matter. " Dickinson Misquoted. Assistant-General Manager Dickinson , of the Union Pacific , whoso name has been mentionedIn connection with tbo manage ment of the Union stock yards , at South Omaha , has returned from Sioux City. Con cerning the matter ho said : "I did not say to tbo correspondent at Sioux City that I would cot accept the position ; I did not nay that I would accept or that I had entertained the matter m uny way. Consequently , I was misquoted. I will sny , however , lhat a few days ago ] a conference was bold between myself and ccrtuln stockholders of Iho South Omaha slock yards , They did not formally tender mo the position referred to bul made mo n proposition which I have under consideration. 1 have not said whether I would or would not accept. I will have to look the situation ever nnd BOO what Is to bo done bcforo I can render my answer. I have Iiot as yet given the matter my attention , and consequently can not suv Just what I will do. "Tho nnnouncomont that I had declined to no- ccpttho situation , lot me repeat. Is untrue ; neither have I accepted. As I nave just suld , I have the matter under consideration. " Vrooinnii Talks. . George Vrooman , chairman of the griev ance committee of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers , Is in Omaha. As regards the report of another break in the ranks of engineers , ho said be had hoard that a cer tain western road had decided to move Bgulnst the brotherhood , but that ho had not ascertained which -road It was. "We nro In better condition to meet an issue of this Kind.ho said , "than over. If it means nnotbor strike , it will be a strike of no small macultudo. In its light with the liurlington pll the olbor roads hold lhat road up and rendered It assistance. If It comes to an other Issue of this kind , this kind of work will not bo allowed , and not a car can bo moved by u connecting lino. Let mo say that the road that atlacks our order again will bo in tlio bands of a receiver In side of sixty day a. Wo do not sock the Ill- will of nny road , but wo will maintain our rights.

It Ijcnils to n Fraud nnd Conslpncs Ceorirn I-'royor to Prlnon , ( Jcorgo J. Froyor , the man arrested In Madison county homo weeks ago by Deputy United Estates Marshal Stewart , as a fugitive From Justice , from Canada , has been sen tenced to the penitentiary for seveu years. Froyor was the agent of the American Express company at Ontario , Canada , and fell Into arrears through embezzlement nnd forgery In his accounts to the extent of 7,000. Ho fled the country. Ho came to the United States and drifted from place to place until ho was finally apprehended nt Madison , in this state. The express com pany employed the most skilled detectives to hunt him down and expended over f 10,000 in this effort , but without success until ho was located nnd taken into custody by Marshal Stewart. Ho left a wife In London , Canada , who followed him to the states , and finally obtained a divorce from him in Chicago. Froyor , on getting safely into this country , went to Kansas , where ho bouirht a small stock farm and proceeded to got rich. Ho changed his name to Charles J. Ualdwln , nnd was Iden tified only by accident , The constant fear of arrest haunted and annoyed him beyond measure , and ho was incessantly nt work en deavoring to dovlso some menus to rollovo himself of this never ceasing terror. Finally ho went lo Iho small town nearest his ranch nnd applied to n physician for incdlclno for an alleged sick man at his placo. The physi cian said ho would bo compelled to visit the farm and dingnoso the case. Fryer said this was unnecessary , and besides , ho lived twenty miles awny , nnd ho could dcscribo the invalid's symptoms with sufficient accuracy to Justify the doctor's is suing a prescription. Ho did so. Several times afterward ho visited the doctor's ofllco and got medicines , and f.nally , ono day last winter , ho called and informed the doctor that his patient was dead. Ho said that his name was George J. Fryer , nnd ho asiiod for a certificate of death. The doctor refused to give him this , but finally gave him a cer tificate testifying that George J. Fryer had not died of nny contacious disease. Then Fryer disappeared , but it was developed that ho got the remains of some dead man. and , along with the Kansas doctor's certificate , shipped them to London , Canada. It was" Freyer's dying rciiucst thut ho bo buried there along with his llttlo daughter. The express authorities who handled the corpse wore suspicious and the United States authorities at Omaha were communicated with. Marshal Stewart , with assistantswas detailed to Invcstigato the affair. Ho visited Kansas and found out all about tbo man Baldwin , that ho had como there a perfect stranger , bought a stock farm , got rich , married a lovely girl of the quiet coun tryside , than suddenly nnd mysteriously dis appeared. After weeks of arduous search bo was traced to Madison county , this state , proven to bo Fryer himself , and arrested. Ho ncknowledged and accompanied Marshal Stewart back to London without necessitat ing the requisition process. Yesterday Stewart received a letter stating that Fr.yor had confessed to forgery and embezzlement , and had been given seven years , fts above related. United States Court. The case against Thomas Burke , charged with selling liquor to the Indians at the Blackbird agency , and which has been pend ing for years , was dismissed. The district attorney filed In formation against John Dee ami Richard Hoe , of Uushvillo. this state , for passing counter felt money. Deputy United States Marshal Showaltcr has gene on for the prisoners. The case that Is now being considered by the grand Jury is ono of the most important that will come up before this body. It Is that of Horace 1) . Chase , superintendent of the Gouoa Indian school , charged with defraud ing the government out of $20,000 cr (30,000 Montgomery U. Eddleman. cashier of the Kcd Cloud National bank , and who was ad mitted to ball at the last term , will again ap pear before the grand Jury. Ho Is charged with having made a falsa entry In his report of the concern to the comptroller of tbo United States treasury , to the effect that the capital stock paid in was $75,000. This , it is claimed , ho did , knowing it tn bo false and for the purpose of deceiving certain United States ofllciati. Frank I. Foss , of Crete , Is In attendance at court. E. M. Coflln , of Ord , a candidate for tha consulship at Chemnitz , Germany , is on the petit Jury. An amended petition In the $1,000 damage suit of Edward S.

The Jury in the case of Lola Piekott , ot Stewart. Iowa , against the Model steam laundry , for $5,000 damages , returned a ver dict of $1,500 in favor of tiie plaintiff. Federal Court Fun its. Some interest is manifested by certain parties to know whether Brad Slaughter , as United States marshal , will continue to deposit - posit court funds with the Omaha National bank , as all his predecessors have done , or whothorho will select some other of the banks of the city for the purpose. As the fund amounts on an average to about $10,000 only per year , It is not considered worthy of a great struggle. Besides , the appropriation frequently runs short , and every dollar is paid out before the next consignment ar rives. As a consequence , the bank Is fre quently called on to advance money to'pay the expenses of the court , for which it of course receives interest which Is sure to bo paid.This This Is the only advantage that the bank receives. ( The District Courr.

On April 0 Robert Duncan , superintendent ot plumbing , notified William S. Spolman , who has the contract for the plumbing in Lho New York Life Insurance building , that lils work was not np to the requirements of the plumbing ordinance , and asked him to sco that It was improved. Yesterday the superintendent sent Inspector specter Ed Taylor to see If the notice had been compiled with. When Taylor cntorcd the building , ho was recognized by Spolinan , and u mo'mcnt Inter Craig , Spclman's foreman , cnmo up , it is alleged , nnd ordered the city Inspector out of the building , threatening to throw him out If ho did not Immediately retire. Mr. Taylor says ho lold the foreman that ho was sent there by Superintendent Dun can , whoso business It was to look after such matters , and ho WKS only doing Ins duty as an onicial of the city. But the fora- man repeated his order nnd signified his In tention of putting his threat into execution. Mr. Taylor , thinking discretion the bettor part ot vnlorloft the plnco. Ho Immediately reported to the Superintendent Duncan , nnd that onicial repaired to the scene to sco If the story wcro true. Ho found it was not only correct , but was treated al most as badly as was his deputy , the fore man refusing to lothlm Inspect the plumbing work on the building or oven see the dia grams showing the location of the pipes. Mr. Duncan has made complaint to the city engineer and asks lor the revocation.of Spol- man's license. Plumbing Inspector Duncan wont before the ma\or Inthonftorroon and upon tha rep resentation that ho has been unable to fulfill his duties In regard to the Now York Life building , ns above detailed , ho was given an order to the cnlof of police requiring that onicial to furnish him nnd tils assistants with n police bodyguard wlillo they Inspected the plumbing In the building In question. The men about the strucluro declare that Duncan has been too fresh in approaching thorn , nnd too peremptory In his orders. Mr. bpolmnn , who has the contract for the plumbing work , says ho knows nolhingnbout the affair , but Duncan c'alms ' that ho was kept out by Spelniau's orders. The Plumbers' Strjko. Thcro is no material change In the aspect of the Journeymen plumbers' strike. Two more non-union men were put to work on THE Han building ycslordny morning. A few of the strikers were loafing about the building , uut interfered in no way with the men at work. Everything was quiet nt tholr ulaco of meeting , only two or three men being uround there. Pickets are kept continually on duty at the depot , watching closely for the ar rival of mon to supplant them from the cast. A Short \Vnllcout at Florence. There was a llttlo brcozo created nt the waterworks nt Florence Thursday by the sending up of a non-union plumber to do u job of steam fitting let out on contract. Four or flvo union plumbers followed him to Iho [ ilaco and the onicers of the company sny thatthoy attempted to interfere with him In nls work , but woio finally ordered from the premises. When the plasterers aud steam tillers at work for olher contractors on Iho same building hoard of the matter they tlucalcncd to quit work. The va rious foremen communicated the state of affairs to the waterworks otUcials , who sent back word to give every man , who wanted to quit , his time , and on no conditions to hire him afterwards , as the company was pushing tno completion of the water works as rapidly as possible and would have no workmen who were not reliable. This communication was delivered to the various workmen and had the effect of set tling the diOlculty. The Plnfltoror'a Are Satisfied. A local pnnor last niht stated that the plasterer's union had hold a mcctiug and de cided to demand higher wages. This Is not true. At a meeting of' the union held last night the paper in question was scored for printing such an unwarranted statement. The plasterer's declare themselves salisllod wilh their wages and the manner In which they nro being treated by their employers. The only trouble now existing was caused by the walkout of men ut work In Tun Bi-.r. building because Iho Hussey-Day company put non-union plumbers at work there , and the dlDlculty will bo settled lo-duy. "It is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day , " said the late Dr. J. G. Holland in Scribnor'a Magazine , "are more successful than many physicians , and most of them were first discovered or used in actual medical practice. When , however , any shrewd person , knowing their vir tue and foreseeing their popularity , secures and advertises them , in the opinion of the bigoted , all virtue wont out of them. " Failure of eyesight , fickle appetite , headacko , extreme wakofulncss. frequent desire to urinate , especially at night , gradual failure of strength and dropsical swelling , these are symptoms of kidney disease. If you neglect the symptoms you will ovontuallv have Bright's ' Disease. War ner's Safe Cure is the only spocilic which has over boon discovered for this disease. The lalo Dr. Die Lewis , over his own signature said : "If I found myself tho" victim of a serious kidney trouble , I would use Warner's Safe Cure. " _ AI'TER A COPP. He Leaves Suddenly and Many Cred itors UciiiRinber Him. John Copps , who until last Monday con ducted a cigar factory , No. 10 , on Eightconlh and Vinlon streets , has loft the city. Ho also leaves a number of creditors who promlso to inako it warm for him. Before going , ho managed to obtain money on bogus notes and In other ways. The Bank of Omaha it Is said advanced $150 on a note which has since boon found to bo worthless ; Morris Morrison Is out $140 In the samoway ; Louis Schroeder remembers him to the ex tent of $100 ; Krug Bros , , grocers on Six teenth street , and Lang on Thirteenth street hnvo his name on the books for largo amounts ; Frank Lei ft , a cigar box manufac turer , is minus $55 loaned him and others have "gono long" on Copp's promises aud uapor.
