Tho building was dedicated thirty-two

building of tho college. Thh wings were
added In 1872 and Ion years ago tho most
of tho building was remodeled and mod
ernized nt considerable expense. The
building cost about J20O.O00, but was not
tvtTth that now, as It was old and would

SIOUX CITY, Dec. 8. (Special Telegram.)
iho recently inaugurated campaign for
righteousness In Sioux City camo to a sud
den end today with the unexpected dismis
sal of tho lawyer evangelist, C. N. Hunt of
Minneapolis, by tho associated churches of
tho city. From tho very opening of the
meetings thero seems to have been a lack
of harmony between tho local preachers and
the evangelist. Ho did not llko their general
plans for tho campaign nnd be said so rather
Indiscreetly In n nowspapcr Interview tvo
weeks ago. That started things and tho
breach widened gradually until last night
the evangelist nnd the preachers held a
Joint meeting to talk over the situation.
Until long after midnight they discussed
matters, Interspersing heated talks with
prayer, and ending with a long season of
communion with God that softened tho
hearts of all. Mr. Hunt Is much hurt by the
action of the ministers nnd he pleadod
strongly for nnother week's trial, but Kev.
Robert Ragnr-ll of tho First Methodist
church declared that they had lost faith In
him as n leader, and then a voto was taken
that dismissed tho evangelist.

South Omaha Is rapidly becoming a horso
market of considerable Importance. From
.lanunry 1 up to December 1, a period of
eleven months, C8.330 horses wore received
nt this market as compared with .13,033 for
tho corresponding period In 1809. The
grent bulk of thoso receipts havo come
from tho western ranges.
Prior to this year tho majority of horses
raised on the ranges wore shipped to older
live stock markets, but tho good prices paid
hero and tho demand has Induced shippers
to stop hero. In speaking of this mnttcr
yesterday a commission doaler Bald that
South Omaha was so conveniently located
to tho western ranges that It is only a
question of sccutlng a few enterprising
commission firms nnd supplying them witn
tho necessary facilities for handling largo
numbers of horses to make this market
one of tho best in tho country.
Tho growth of tho horso business here Is
shown in the figures of receipts given be
low: Total receipts in 1808, 10,392: re
ceipts 1899. 34.25G; eleven months of 1900,
receipts, 58,336.
As thcro Is every indication of a contlnu
nnoe of the rapid growth of tho horso bust
ness here residents of South Omaha am
greatly ploased. Whllo on this subject yes
terday a well known horseman said: "South
Omaha ranks high as n market for rango
horses, although somo of tho older mar
kots mny handlo a good many moro natlvo
horses. It has been demonstrated pretty
thoroughly that theso unbroken rango
horses sell most freely to tho farmers of
the west. Eastern farmers do not tnkc
kindly to unbroken rango horses, but west
erners seem to prefer them. Plenty of
horses still remain on the rango and I look
for a good business hero nil winter."
Decrense In Hog Shipments.
Tho official figures of the stock yards
company published Friday show that stneo
January 1 tho receipts of hogs numbered
2,039,102, as compared with 2,068,795 for tho
samo period of time a year ngo. This is a
decrease for this year of 29,693 head. A
great many more hogs aro being shipped
to this market from Iowa than ever before,
but In spite of this a docreaso Is shown.
When asked to explain tho falling off In
receipts, a buyer for ono of tho packing
houses snld that It was caused by tho
oponlng of the now Cudahy plant at Kan
sas City. Formerly Cudahy bought hogs on
the Kansas City market and had them
hipped hero to bo slaughtered. The open
lng of tho new houso has, It Is asserted,
made a difference in hog receipts of over
45,000 head, which under former conditions
would have been handled here.
However, tho loss of tho Kansns City
shipments is being mado up to somo extent
by the Increased receipts from Iowa, and
it is expected that tho calendnr year of the
stock yards will close with a showing of
Increased receipts when a comparison In
mado with tho figures of 1899.
When it comes to sheep receipts, nn In

When asked about tho matter yesterday, W.

the grounded circuits was caused by the
high voltago carried by tho Thomson
Houston Electric Light company. He as
serted mat tno wires or the light com

tlon Is the cause of tho trouble on the
lines. Mr. Holland said that In some in
