The first half of the year ISO. ! has boon a most prosperous season for the South Omaha stock marttot.Vlthm the history of the Union stock yards no period can bo recalled when the Improvements made have been so extensive , the rccoipu so largo and the pi-Ices paid so good , as has cnaracterlzod the past six months. When It Is recalled that more than $1,000- 000 Is being expended in Improvements by the packers and the stock yards company , the fact Is apparent that a largo and suc cessful stock mat kot and packing center Is being reared , which , ere long , will rank as second nlace and will onlv bo distanced by Chicago , and that city will lliul it u dlftlcult tusk to keep pace with South Omaha in a few years , lly reason of Its excellent loca tion and superior advantages this maruot has easily won third place and will as easily gain scconu place from Kansas City. During thu period mentioned everything scorns to bavo como South Omaha's way. When at the beginning of the year thu pack ers gave notice of their Intention to expend Fovor.il hundrra thousand dollars In Inprov- ing and enlarging their mammoth establish ments no one scorned surprised. Later , when the Union Stock Yards company began improvements costing $ .100,001) ) , to moot In creased business. It wus regarded ns a natural consoqiionco. When now territory was opened up , and the stock shipped to South Omaha , it wus no moro than was ex pected. Wlipn the differential rale on stooit from Indian Territory points wi reduced to SlU.nu per cur it was reooivod with the feeling that justice hnd been done , and that the railroads desired to get Into the South Om.iha column of pr&sicssiveneas and enterprise. And every now improvement , each day's Increase In receipts and slaughter ings ami the whole geneial prosperity has bi-cn calmly received and nttrioutod to the fact that it was out the natural acquiring of all that is necessary in the urind march for second place , wnlch South Omaha Is so rapidly and gloriously accomplishing. There has been no loud sounding of trumpets , no pyiotechnlcal display of accomplishments , but n calm , determined , untcrorlsintr offoit on behalf of all to tauo advantage of the op- portunitv and place within a short tlmo the MJgio City whoresho properly and naturally belongs. The vast improvements being made by the Union Stock Yards company are MI.UIO nec essary bv the increase in the receipts of stock and the outlook for increased business in the future. Thu now pens now nearly completed brings the total urea of the jards up to llfty acres , and thn capacity Is 10,000 c.iltlo. 'JO.OOO hogs , 0,300 shoup and 1,000 horses. Forty nuw loading chutes are being built and a new scale house is nearly com pleted. With this increased capacity the yards company is prepared to properly handle and care lor the largo receipts so confidently expected. That those extensive improvements and altortlons have not been made without good loason is shown by a comparison ot the ofll- cial receipts from January 1 to July 1 , dur ing the years of Ib'JO , Ib'Jl and IS'JJ. The in crease In the supplies of stock of all kinds will bo noticed , and it IB the moro gratifying when it 1s known that this Is the only mar ket of any consequence In the country show ing such u satisfactory growth. The follow ing figures are ofllcial and taken from the books of the Union Stoelt Yards company and show the receipts of stock for the period mentioned : Cattle , Iloss. Slicop. I'lrstsit months.

The nicioaso in hogs shows a gain ever IS'Jl ' of 73TO.and of 1VJO , ( H,7JO head. The increase - crease in the receipts of sheep ever IS'Jl ' is H.315 head , and Ib'JO , 14,417 head. The In- crottso is lluttorlng and but shows the drift of tbo wild , which Is undoubtedly sending everything South Omaha's way. Kansas City's showing is not near so flat tering ns that made by South Oniiha. The Increase In tbo number of cattle received during tno past six mouths , as compared with the same period of IS'Jl , is 73,000 head , while South Omaha shows 03,000. Before six months moro bavo passed the Increase at Kansas City will not bo so lergo , and South Omaha will Drotit by it. By the reduction of the differ ent hi' rate on stock from Indian Territory points , South Omaha will receive at least 75,000 Texas cattle ihat will coma from ter ritory whlca in the past has been closed to this maruot by reason of railroad discrim ination in favor of Kansas City. The in crease in the receipts of hogs during the Urst half of the year shows n. gain of but 12,828 head over tbo same period of 1891 , while South Omaha's gain Is 73,705 head. The increase in receipts nt the yards Is not the onlv pleasant feature of the past six months. The packlnc bouses have not boon Idle , and although for the past two months they have been running very slack , while the new buildings are In course of erection , the increase in slaughter- Inge ever tlia lirst six months of IbOI , is very encouraging. During the lirst six months ot Ib'Jl the slaughtering of cattle reached 13'Jb'JS , and for the same period of the present year 219,2.13 head , an Increase of 77,340 head. Hogs slaught rod numbered In Ib91 ( H > . ' ,010 head , and In lb9J 075,003 head , an Incio.iso of IJ Gd head. The increase in sheep slaughtered during IbUJ ever the preceding year reaches about 10,000. The four largo packing plants are all nearly doubling their present capacity and by Octo ber I the Improvements will bo completed. The packers u 111 then consume all de.sir.iblo slocit which comes to this market , and the supply will have to bo considerably Increased to moot the demand which the enlarged capacity of the packing plants will mnko. No apprehension is felt as to the possibility of the supply of stock being short , as u good market and active demand will brine this wav all that Is required , and next year's output of the packing houses wld bo at least one-third larger than the present voar. The excellent showing of thu lirst half of thn vcar will bo kept up during the next six montliH , and the end of ttio year IS'JJ will > .how that bouth Omaha's growth has been wonderful.

[ Special to TUB Ilcc.J The Fremont Chautauqun assembly formally opened the session of ISO'J nt the snucleus and nlir.icllvo Cbantauqua pans In the northern suburbs of the city tonight. The Inauspicious waathor kept many from attctHling the opening cxorclsos , but the prospects point to r. very successful session. In thu absence of Judge Jauob Fawcatt of Omaha , president of the association , Kov. O.

Doan Alfred A.

Ho will tnko tull charge of the clnss work during the entire session , which huts until July 15. L. A.

Ho was hero yestorduv and was very busy potting everything In readiness for the beginning ot the work. He lias upoli the rostrum an organ and a piano to assist tno vocalists. Mr. Torrons hopes to make this a real musical ovoul for Fremont and vicinity and will probably have a chorus of 100 voices In a few days. Ono ul tlio > iv I'uiituros. Prof. D. V. Slovens , superintendent of schools for Dodeo county , has Introduced n now and Interesting fouturu into the Chan- tauiiua assembly for this your. Ho has mada arrangements to hold the annual teachers' institute during the Cluiutauqua session and the teachers of the county hnvo taken hold ot the now proposition wltTi a will. They have already engaged forty small ton Is for their own nccotnmodatlon and Prof. Slovens bus engaged llvo largo ones , which are al ready up and ready for use , to bo occupied as instruction tents. The work of the institute has been or- rangcu so mat it will not conlllct with tbo Cuautuuqua courso. All the teachers who wUh may take both the Chautauqua. and thu institute work at the same time. In this ago of rush and hurry , w hen even school teachers have but little leisure time , the words of Pope are doublv true , "Half our knowledge WB nu t snatch , not take , " and this exceptionally favorable opportunity to snatch some vahmblo inform.Hion has boon eagerly embraced by the Dodge county teachers. The Assembly park has boon vastly Im proved since last yc-ar. It Is Indeed a beau tiful spot and voar by year it will grow moro attractive. The park is located m the north ern suburbs of the city on the line of the Fremont , Klkhorn ic Missouri Valley railroad. The grounds are reached by street cars or by tno regular railroad trains ns the visitors prefer. The park contains seventy-two acres of level meadow land through which n. narrow and devious stream winds. Larpo , stately trees lift their graceful branches into the sunlight all along the crooked tortuous stream and several clumps and long double rows of dense foliage are lounct at various points throughout the partr. There is ample shade for hundreds or tents and abundant facilities In the groves for the various departments of instructiou . > establish recitation and lecture tents. Very ComCortulilit Tentn. Tbesa instruction tents have a wonder fully inviting appearance. They ate sup plied with good seats or if the students wish they can carry their camp chairs as they meunder aoout from ono grove to another. Bryant said that "Tho groves were God's first temples , " nud those delightful retreats on the Fremont Chautauqua cronnds no doubt boar u striking rosomblunco to the sylvan shades the poet had in his mind's eye when ho made the ubovo remark. Wnilo the park cannot bo called pictnr- osquo , itmust bo culled beautifuinnd very con venient , for of what use are rugged hills ex cepting to look at and wear ono out In cllinb- ingi Tbon in ndJition to an abundance of shade and wide stcetchlng lawns the park has that which is ever welcome , plenty of running water for ooating and bathing. By throwing a dam across the little stream near the point where it loaves the park , the man agement has secured an abundance of water. For nearly a mile above the dam tbo stream is navigable for row boats , for tbo water is nearly ten fnot In deptti upon an average. There are numerous small islands , straits , promontories and laKes aloncr the winding channel of the stream. At the Plunge llath. Not content to provide only banting for the visitors , the association has built a largo natutoriura , 40 foot wide ana 150 foot m length , which is supplied with running wiiter from ttio "Chautauqua river , " as the stream has boon named. These substantial and commendable improvements hnvo encouraged a number of people to build cottages upon the crounas. Several prominent citizens of Fremont , Blair Omaha and other places have built cottages here. They will como hero to rest and recreate , and in the \vords of the immortal bard of Avon , "Exempt from publio haunts find toncuos in trees , books in running brooks , sermons in stones and good in every thing. " The Grand Army of the Republic has erected n very handsome building , und from its llugstall the stars and stripas gracof jllv wave. Tuo amphitheater In which nil the general assemblies uro hold Is beautifully located back from thn stream about llfty yards on n slight elevation , commanding a good view of tbo grounds and the country for miles around. It is built after tbo manner of the usual Chautauqua amphitheater , In a half circle , and will seat fully 5,000 people. Toward the north side of the grounds , at a reasonable distance from the most desirable tenting grounds , stands the hotel building. It Is largo and permanently built , capable of ac commodating qulto n multitude with fiub- stuntlal refreshments. Good meals at reasonable enable rates will bo furnished hero through out the session.
