Thau 1'nncr J"ntl.
Tho eale of Gborthorn cattlo held at tbo
Block yards pavilion yesterday afternoon
was one of the successful ones of tho sea
ton uod demonstrated tho fact that good
cattlo will bring their value under tho
auctioneer's hnmraar, regardless of tho so
called popular breeding.
The sale was made up of drafts from the
herds of V. It. Wilson of Arlspl, la., and
1'. I'. llcaly of Hertford, la.
Theso men aro breeders of long exper
ience, who have almc-l to produce good
cattle rather than to run after fads In
blood lines. Thai they have bred right Is
shown by tho prices secured. The sale war
conducted by Colonels F. M. Woods and
T. C. Callahan of this city. Two facts In
this salu show a flattering outlook for
tho business of breeding pure-bred cat
tle. Ono of theso Is that with but one ex
ception tho cattle went Into the bands of
farmers or comparatively new breeders
and not to tho herds of professional
breeders.
The other, one which Is doubly of
Interest to Nebraska, Is that forty-one of
tho sixty head were bought by Nebraska
men. The highest prices of tho sate wero
paid by Nebraska bidders. Eighteen bead
went to Iowa and ono only to Missouri.
Ono of the choicest things In the salo was
ft 7-months-old bull calf, bred by Mr. Wll
8on, called Orange Aberdeen. There was
a lively strife for him, but Mr. Uurgoyne
of Silver City, la., finally secured htm on
a bid of (235, which Is a pretty good figure
for a calf of th'ls age. flu It was quality,
not age, that sot the price. The top price
in bulls was $405 for Mr. Healy's Topnotch,
2 years old, bought by F. II. Gleason of
Pierce, Neb. It. K. Williams of OakUnd,
Neb., paid $370 for Conqueress of Lon
ilondalo XXVI I, with a cow calf at foot,
which was the top prlco on females. J.
II. Mickey of Osceola, Neb., was the most
liberal buyer of tho sale, taking nine head,
nnd most of them ranging above the 1200
mark.

South Omaha News
An Omaha railroad official said yesterday
tho manngers of tho Union Stock Yards
company and the Union Pacific Railroad
company had again taken up the proposi
tion of building n viaduct across tho rail
road tracks. This matter has been talked
of for years, but the nearest the railroad
companies ever came to providing the pub
lic with adequate means of reaching tho
stock yards In safety was to have jilans
drawn for a bridge. This bridge w'iis to
have Its eastern terminus at Twenty-sixth
nnd O streets, while the western end was
to bo somewhere near the Exchange build
ing. Whllo tho Hammond company was In
operation here the construction of a bridge
as planned was considered Impracticable,
as there would be no outlet for the Ham
mond teams, unless a portion of the hog
pens south of the chute house was re
moved In order to make n roadway. Now
that the Hammond plant has been closed
It Is reported that the corporations men
tioned will seriously consider tho con
struction of n viaduct. As first planned
the viaduct was to bo constructed to
carry motor trains and land passengers at
the doors of tho exchange' Since tho ex
tension hall been node to the Went Q
street line It Is hardly probable that cars .
will run across the viaduct to the ex
change. Should the present plans go 1
through and the viaduct be built the tracks
will be fenced In, In order to prevent per-
sons from crossing, thus Insuring against
accidents.
Residents of South Omaha and others ,
who transact business at the stock yards
sincerely hope that the proposed bridge
wtll be built before long,
Hid nn llonilft.
In accordance with the provisions of the
now charter tbo city has been advertising
for bids for nn Issue of $50,000 general
Indebtedness bonds, to be authorized to
refund similar bonds now outstanding.
Although the desire of the city for bids
has been given wide publicity, only ono
bid was handed to City Clerk Shrlgley at
noon yesterday. These bonds are to run
ten years, with the usual flvu years' op
tion, and draw iSi per cent Interest. As
only one bid has been received It Is more
than likely that the council will readver
Use. The low rate of interest offered nnd the
five-year clause are what prevent Investors
from applying, but the fact that one bid
bis been received shows that the credit
of the city Is excellent at this time and
that buyers ore willing to take even low
rate Interest-bearing bonds. At the dis
cretion of tho council the city may pay
as high as 6 per cent Interest on general
Indebtedness, but the desire Is to reduce
the Interest as much as possible, and for
this reason tho rate was made low1. If
It Is found that the one bid received docs
not offer n premium for the bonds It Is
thought that another advertisement will
be Inserted.
Another Superintendent Selected.
It was reported on tho streets yesterday
that the Board of Education Monday night
would elect a superintendent of public In
struction to succeed the present Incumbent.
The same rumor has It that Prof. J. A.
McClano of Tarklo, Mo., Is the man who
wtll step Into Dr. Wolfe's shoes.
A member of the board said that an
agreement had been reached whereby a
superintendent was to be elected next Mon
day night to take tho position at the expira
tion of the present contract with Dr. Wolfe.
The board Is going on tho statement made
by Wolfe last December that he would not
be a candidate for re-election.
About Bull FIkIiIk.
Tho statements given out for publication
by tho managers of tho Street Fair company
In connection with proposed bull fights nro
attracting sorao attention. Yesterday Mayor
Kelly received tho following telegram from
tbo news editor of the Chicago American:
"Dispatch states that bull Cghtlng Is to be
permitted In South Omaha during street
fair In July. What steps will you tako to
prevent It7" To this messago Mayor Kelly
sent the following reply: "Understand
Street Fair company proposes conducting
bull fight at fair under same restrictions as
at Buffalo exposition. Have not personally
Investigated." The managers of the fair
association appear to be In earnest about
having bull fights and tho chances are
thero will be no remonstrance from the mu
nicipal authorities.

Complaint Aliont Pliynlelniia.
City officials stato that tho physicians
here aro extremely negligent nbout report
ing births, deaths, etc. Ono doctor said he
would make monthly reports If he had time.
The law provides that such reports must be
made within twenty-four hours, but this
rule Is not compiled with.' Thero Is talk
of enforcing tho law on the physicians who
do not mako reports according to law. The
city furnishes postal cards for the purpose,
and the doctors are at no expense in mak
ing these reports,

Some time ago tho comptroller of Omaha
sent down bills to the city of South Omaha
for the care of two smallpox patients, The
city officials here disclaimed any knowl
edge of tho patients being from South
Omaha and so notified the Omaha authori
ties. Tho result Is that the claim against
South Omaha, which amounts to $160, has
been turnod over to City Attorney Connell
and ho will likely begin suit to recover
tbo amount.

Fire llnll No. ft.
The harness for the team at the new flro
hall In Brown Park Is nearly done and, as
tho wagon Is here, tho new hall will be
placed In commission within a week or
so. As there Is no money to purchase a
team arrangements have been made to
leuse n team until the commencement of
tho fiscal year. In this way the city will
be provided with Jhree first-class hose
companies. The new hose wagon Is said to
bo ready for service nnd Is loaded with
S00 feet of new hose. Mayor Kelly has

ItepnlrliiK Vlniluct.
Arrangcmeuts aro being made by the
Union Stock Yards company and the Union
Pacific Railroad company to repair the L
street viaduct. It Is understood that a four
Inch plank floor will bo laid on the brldgo
from the cast end to a point about 300 feet
east of the west end of the bridge. Tho
west approach, It Is stated, will be paved
with stone, the ground beneath being filled.
This will shorten the bridge, which, with
approaches, Is now 1,456 feet in length. The
repairs contemplated are badly needed, as
the flooring of the bridge Is In bud condi
tion and has been for some time.

WASHINGTON, May 29. Trade and eco
nomlc conditions In Franco are the subject
of the next chapter to be made public of
"Commercial Relations of the United States
for 1000," which Is now In course of prep
nratlon under tho direction of' Frederic
Emory, chief of tho bureau of foreign com
merce of tho State department. This chap
ter consists of the following resume by
Consul Skinner at Marseilles:
"Of nil the great powers cf Kurope, France
alone could stand Isolation without a te
ero shock. The colonial empire Is develop
ing, not r.iplJly enough to satisfy, but still
developing. Tho protective tariff system,
notwithstanding Its defects of detail, ob
tains credit and Is fixed in popular esteem,
Spurred Into activity by competition from
without and especially by the commercial
renaissance of Germany, workshops .good
enough twenty-five years ngo are undergo
ing a revolution In material, etc. Corpora
tion, inch by Inch, Is supplanting tho fam
ily In control of producing Institutions.
Great trusts are rare, because France Is
essentially a country exploiting specialties
In variety, for which limited demand ex
ists. Nevertheless, largo corporations are
absorbing' tho smaller ones. Groups of fac
tories now have one head, each of which
but n few years ago was a law unto Itself.
People, encouraged to take shares In these
enterprises, are doing so, and statutory
law protects theso small Investors from un
scrupulous machination of their properties
by speculators.
l'rniu-e U Learning How.
"Very Interesting Is this unfolding of the
French democracy In business, politics and
society, In a land of precedents and tradi
tions. The growth has been slow but sure,
and In the process thereof rainbow visions
of equality and fraternity, merely written
Into law, are no longer confusid with tho
vital facts of progress.
"The French republic Is preparing to
Join tho sisterhood of wheat-exporting na
tions, and to resume n position abandoned
In 1S50. A no less able authority than
Prof, do Laroquo Informs me that ten years
henco France will have from 1.000.COO to
1,000,000 tons to spare annually for export.
This situation, eminently satisfactory from
nn economical view.' Is hot without Its em
barrassments. French wheat has sold dur
ing the last year from $3.47 to $3.4i5 per not
220 pounds from the farmer. Foreign wheat
sold for $4.53, duty ndded. Thus the
Frenchman saw the foreigner obtaining
more than himself for the same article and
naturally revolted. The fact that foreign
wheat can be Imported during years of
French plenty nnd sold for more than the
domestic crop, arises largely from tho ap
plication of a law remitting tho duty on
wheat mado Into flour for export. By Im
posing n duty on wheat Imported for con
Mtmptlon and remitting the duty when It
was made Into Hour and exported the home
market was protected and tho export mar
ket preserved when the domestic crop was
short. In seasons of plenty, however,
French millers continued to Import wheat
and secure the rebate. It has been nro-
posed to abandon thlsr system and to secure
counties on 'French wheat' tind flour;
Will .still Wnnt 'jJi'imV, Wheat.
"Considerable Importations (of wheat aro
assured In France, whatever tho domestic.
situation may be, becaiiso of the necessi
ties of tho great and growing macaroni
trade, which requires a hard wheat not
grown in France. Tho domestic wheat Is
also deficient In gluten, and to produce
a flour satisfactory In this ollmate It must
be mixed with Imported grain, the best
or wnicn thus far has come from Texan.
"With tho acquisition of the PhlllDnlnes
tho United States has within Itself the
elements necessary to control the soap
irauo oi me worm a trade In which Mar
seilles has been supremo for many years
Experience has proved that tho best soap
Is tho product of either cocoauut and
cotton or peanut oil In nbout equal nuan
titles. Wo are now exporting cotton oil
to the European soap trade and at Mar
seilles the cocoanut-crusblng Industry Is
at present centralized. Over 1,250,000
pounds of coprn wero received hero from
foreign countries during the first half of
1900. most of which was from the Phil
lpplnes. Thero Is no apparent reason why
American capital should not crush these
nuts In tho Philippines and ship .the oil
to tne united States, thus effecting a
great saving of freight and enabling our
manufacturers, who nlrendy have cotton
oil at their command, to dominate the
business."
In regard to tho development of our
merchant marine the consul says:
"With a population of 10,000,000 more
or less In the Philippines, It has occurred
to mo that we might turn to them to as
sist us In this matter. Those little Fili
pinos are transacting an Important coast
lng trade among their own Islands. I fre
quently encounter them in this city as
sailors, in which capacity they give en
tire satisfaction. They aro obedient, ac
tive, Intelligent, clean nnd willing to work
for low wages. They are accustomed to
employment In tropical climates. The em
ployment of Filipinos would not displace
American sailors, as tho latter are com
paratively rare and are needed for the
coast and lake trade."
Woman's Work in Club and Charity
Of the thirteen recommendations made
by tho Louisiana Purchase conference lu
Kansas City early In tho spring for a me
morial, benevolent, utilitarian or artistic,
to be erected by the club women of the
states Included In the purchase district, the
committee appointed by the Omaha
Woman's club will recommend one of the
following when It makes Its report to the
club In the fall
First, and preferably, tho endowment of
a chair for the touching of the science of
motherhood In some well established Insti
tution of learning; second, the erection of
a fountain with groups of statuary, his
toric and typical.
The committee Is composed of the dele
gates who attended the conference, Mrs. H.
S. Jaynes. Mrs, A. K. Gault, Mrs, Hani t
McMurphy and Miss Mary Falrbrothor. At
the time of the meeting perhaps tho most
popular suggestion was that for tho estab
lishment of an 'ndustrtal school for gl.Is.
It was estimated thut $40,000 would es
tablish such an Institution and that af'er
the first year it would be self-supporting,
This plan met with the favrr of the ma
jority of the Omaha committee, but was so
strongly opposed by tho other mcmb8
that tho endowment of a chair for he
teaching of the science of motherhood was
decided upon.
There was a meeting Wednesday morn
ing of the women who are to superintend
the serving of refreshments In the booths
and under the tent during the Delisted!
concerts. Tho concession having' bjen let
to tho Young Women's Christian assocla
tlon, Mrs. George Tlfdea Is In caarfc of all
the arrangements and Wednesday morn
ing her eighteen assistants were present
and received their Instructions. Each of
theso women Is to have a corps of assist
ants and all the departments of the work
are systematically provided for.
Tho regular classes of the South branch,
Young Women's Christian association, were
suspended Thursday, but in futuro the
senior classes will hold all of their meet
ings Thursdays.
The gymnasium classes have closed for
the year, tho final exercises consisting
of a party In honor of Miss Stella Hustes,
physical Instructor at tho branch.
average attendance of thirty at each meet
ing and tho girls seem to have taken up
the work with more enthusiasm than ever.
R. K. Row, ono of the originators of tho
vertical system of writing now used In
tho schools of Omaha, was In ' the city
early In the week, visited the schools and
Inspected the work done by the pupils.
Monday and Tuesday evenings he met tho

CHILL BLAST FURNACE AIR
Ulsr Cnrneitle I'lnnt to Try Experiment
In Manutncturn of Pin
Iron,
PITTSBURG, May 29. Preparations are
being made by the United States Steel cor
poration for the erection of a refrigerator
plant nt the Lucy furnaces of tho Carnegie
company, which will probably figure largely
In revolutionary reductions In the cost of
making pig Iron. The plant, whllo an
experimental one, will be built on a com
mercial bnsls and will cost In tho neighbor
hood of $100,000. The Idea Is to deprive
tho air of a large per cent of Its molsturo
by precipitating and freezing tho water
before the blast Is sent into the furnace.
Blast furnace owners havo found that in
winter, when the air Is cold, dry and
crisp, they can make pig Iron more cheaply
than In summer, when the air Is filled with
moisture. The experiment will be watched
with Interest by oil blast furnace men.
