CATTLE There was Quite a decresse to
day In cattle receipts, as compared with the
last two weeks, but still there Is an Increase
ver tha mums dav of last year. The gen
eral opinion was that shippers were rather
afraid of a Labor day market and as a re
sult many kept away that otherwise would
have been here. "
Am hu been tha case for some time peat
there were not enough cornfed steers In the
yards to tell anything about the market and
as a result the only thing to be said Is that
prlcea are practically unchanged. Packers,
though, all claim they want more oornfeds
to go with their westerns and that they will
pay atrong prlcea for desirable grades.
The cow market was quite active this
nornlna and anything desirable waa strong
to a dime higher than at the close of last
week, uood nesny neavy cows seem io ds
selling tf the best advantage, but still even
the medium grades and canners brought a
little better nrlcea than they did last week.
Hulls, veal calves and stags were fully
steady today and anything desirable met
with ready sale.
The demand for atockers and feeder waa
fully as active today aa It -was a week ago
and owing to the more limited offerings
Drioes tinned up. The better grades were
about a dime higher than on Friday of last
week and even the commoner grades were
fully steady and In some caaea a little
hlshar.
ackera took hold of the western beef
teers In good shape this morning and the
desirable offerings sold strong to a dime
higher than the close of last week. There
did not seem to be any more than enough
to meet the local demand. Common gradee
did not ahow so much Improvement. Choice
western dehorned feeders were also about
a dime higher, while the common and eape
rlKiiv the common horned cattle were not
much' more than ateady and somewhat
neglected, tha same as they have been light
along. Range cows that had any kill to
them ware In active demand and aold atrong
to luo higher. The medium .grades and
cannera also brought fully aa good prices
as they did laat week. Representative

HOGS There wss a very light run of
hogs here today and the Quality waa ooor.
The market opened rather slow, but 610o
nigner man oaiuraay. mere waa very
little change from start to finish, but owing
to the poor quality ana to tne fact that
none of the packing nouaea were killing
today trading waa rather alow. The bulk
or tne nogs soia rrom tt.su to wi to ana as
high aa $7.40 waa paid. Practically every
thing waa disposed of In good aeason.
Today's advance carries the market back
to the highest point reached since August

Yesterday's Labor day parade wss the
bent seen In South Omaha for a long time.
All of the local unions were In line and a fine
showing wss made. Four bands were In the
procession and each division carried the
Stare and Stripes at Its lead.
Every union presented a fine front. All
were fine appearing men neatly dressed,
and they inarched with precision
through the streets. Chief of Police Briggs
and Captain Troutan rode at the right of
the line and were followed by a platoon
'of police. All of the polio were In full
dress uniform and wore whit glove. Later
on came the Ore department with Chief
Etter riding In a buggy decorated with the
national colors. Following the chief came
the three companies of the Are department.
All of the wagons were gaily decorated.
As soon as the parade passed the corner
of Twenty-fourth and N streets the crowd
which lined the streets moved to Syndicate
park, where there was a general Jollifica
tion. While no set addresses were planned
for several were delivered, -among tha
prominent speakers were M. F. Harrington
and Bernard McCaffrey. All the afternoon
and evening the park was crowded with
members of the local labor union and their
families and upon leaving at night all re
ported having spent a most enjoyable day.
- They Want Water.
Persona living- on Missouri avenue, east
of Sixteenth street are' going after the
city council with a view to getting water
mains and hydrants. It Is asserted by
Judge Breen and other that there Is a
need of more water In this locality, and
the only way that the Omaha Water com
pany can be Induced to lay main Is for
the council to order fir hydrants. At the
present time two doxen families on Mis
souri avenue are taking water from a one-
Inch pipe Una laid by John N. Westerfleld.
This line Is private property and the water
goes through a meter. The other day
there waa a break In the line caused, so
It Is stated, by soma repair being made
to the street and the residents from Six
teenth street east to Thirteenth street
were deprived of water. When the coun
ell meets again there will be a husky dele
gatlon of east slders In attendance to Insist
that something be don to relieve the
present condition of affair.

more cleaning up and all of the school
houses are In good condition. A for the
recently rented room there may be some
little delsy In securing supplies, etc., but by
the middle of the week It I expected that

work well In hand and proposes to see to It
that all of the pupils are gives aocommoda-

Meaas a Kew Depot.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Sept 1. (Special.)
The destruction by fire last Thursday of
the Great Northern railroad depot In thlt
city will result In tbs construction of a
new and modern depot building at a central
point of the city. Th burned structure
waa situated la th extreme southeastern
portion, of the city, and. besides being In
very Incooyenlent location for the travel-
public, the building, which was of frame,
would have been a disgrace to a town of
600 population. It Is now said to be the
purpose of the company to erect a modern
brick passenger and freight depot build.
Ing near the heart of the business district.

there Is practically no organised opposi
tion to republicanism In South Dskota, with
the open ng of the campaign, September 16,
the work will be pushed as vigorously as If
a hot campaign were on. A strong effort
will be msde to secure a majority of 20,000

republican voter will feet that It Is not
necessary for them to get out on account

work of the campaign managers will be di
rected toward securing aa heavy a vote sa
possible, and with It the large majority

The lsst legislature did not contain
enough of the opposition to republicans to

Harry Smith, a resident of Lehigh, nesr
this city, was called upen to face an awk
ward cnarge or murder today. He waa
arrested by Marshal Schoonover of that
place on suspicion of being a man named
Dunham, wsnted for the murder of a family
or Dve at San Jose, Cal., in May, 1896. A
reward of 120,000 was offered for the arrest
of Dunham.
Bcnoonover tnought that he saw a re
semblance between Smlth'a appearance and
the published descriptions of Dunham, and
put the handcuffs on his man without wait
ing to verify the story. 8mlth satisfactorily
proved his Identity and was released after
brief confinement.
It ia thought that the daisle of the $20,000
reward blinded the eye of the vigilant
officer to the real facts in the case, as
Smith resembles the published description
in only a few particulars.

Mr. Kill aeta up all the matter tn the
defense and th railways la their pleading
simply follow th Securities company's
answer, with some changes of phraseol
ogy, aa are required by their divert char
acters. The main answer, that of the Securities
company, 1 mora than usually direct and
plain for a legal pleading. It reads In
part:
Ho Flaee ef Bnslneas.
Defendants deny that the Northern Se
curities company has ever conducted any
business In Minnesota or had any place of
business or owned any property In the
state, and the railways, the property of the
Easfern railway of Minnesota, are oper
ated by virtue of a lease. They also deny
thst James J. Hill has ever been tho
owner of or in the possession or control
of or that they have at any time been sub
ject to his control or disposition more than
a matter of minority or a portion far lens
than a majority of the capital ttock of the
Great Northern company. They deny that
the Northern Pacirlc Railway company
ever became a corporation of or within the
state of Minnesota or that It ever became
subject to the lawa thereof, except by filing
a copy of Its articles wlih the secretary o
state and complying with the statutes re
lating to the admiSHion to the slate ot rail
way companies organised unuer the lutih of
other states.
'l hey slso deny that the Northern I't'llc
company's lines since the organization f
tho Northern Securities company ha.e
ueen operated subject to the Jurisdiction
or control of the officers of thst company
and deny thst the board of directors of the
Northern l'acilic company, when the hill
was tiled or at any time since, have been
the perrons stated in said bill. On the con
trary, the board ot directors of said com
pany was, when the bill was filed and ever
since, has been composed as follows:
Ovorge F. Baker, Edward H. Harrlman,
William jr. t.ioi.gn, urayton ives, u. Wil
lis James, John S. Kennedy, Daniel S.
Lamont, William Rockefeller, Charles
Steele. Samuel Spencer. James Sttllman,
Eben B. Thomas, Hamilton McTwomhley,
all of New York City; Charles 8. Miller,
St. Paul; Samuel Rea, Philadelphia.
They admit that cities snd towns named
In the bill are points on each ot the two
lines of railway, but deny that the lines
between tne-e jioints are parallel or that
the lines i-omp-fi"-! lor freight or paaxen-
fer traffic l-itvvs". :. said points In any dif
erent mannvt or by any greater extent
prior to the formation of tho securities
company than they have at all times done
since the formation of that company, end
will continue to do so In the future. They
deny that th lines of the defendant com
naniea between the atote-of M!!?-eeta J
l'uget sound were or are parallel or hae
ever been competing lines, except st a few
points, at nearly an 01 wnicn potn-s ni
compeiea ana sun compete 111n
ill ll.i 4
of
other companies.
Railway Are Not
Competitor.
They deny that the defendant companies
have competed with each other for passen
ger or freight traffic in any other or dif
ferent manner or to any greater extent
than they have continuously done since th.
formation of the securities company, and
will continue to do In the future. They ad
mit that the line are the only lines of a
single railway company traversing raat
and west all the northern tier of states
west of the Mississippi river. They deny
that these lines are the only lines crossing
the state of Minnesota snd connecting the
Paclllc ocean by rail with points in said
state or that they are the only lines con
necting the territory of the northern tier
of states or the territory tributary thereto
by rail with the Pacific ocean.
They deny that spur or branch lines
built Into territory adjacent to Its railways
or Into new territory by reason of rl-airy
between the companies, or that the lull
ing of any such spur or branch lines has
been or will be prevented or lessened or
deferred or in any way affected by the
formation of the securities company.
They eay that except the grants of
swap lands the grants by the state In aid
of railways in Minnesota were made by
the territory and atate of Minnesota
merely In execution of trusts reposed In
them, respectively, by acts of congress
granting landa of the united States to aid
fn the construction of such rsilways. ,
None of said lands were ever the prop
erty of aald territory or state, each of
whom was a mere conductor to transfer
the title of such lsnds from the Untied
States to the respective corporations, by
which such rallwaya were built and said
grants, whether congressional, territorial
or atate. were solely In consideration of
the construction and not of the mainte
nance of such railways and none of ssld
grsnts were made to either of the de
fendant railway companies.
Grant Are Not a Gift.
None of such rrants nor either of aald
awamp-land granta was a gift to the com
pany receiving tne same, but eacn or them
waa made up on a valuable and full cnn.
slderation furnished the company receiv
ing the sams.
They admit making larre shlnments ef
wheat and other products from and to the
places named in the bill. They deny that
competition between the defendant com
panies for traffic between said places was
prior to the orgsnlsation of the securities
company any sharper or more active or
more productive of lower ratea for frelghr
or passengers than It has been at all times
since such organisation, and atlll It, and
deny that such rates have been at any
time since the organisation of the securi
ties company or now or will be anv hlaher
than If said company had not been formed.
On the contrary, thev aav that atneo tho
formation of said company auch-ratea have
aireaay oeen largely reduced and are now
and will continue to be lower than those
stated In the bill to have been aeeiii-eH h
the sharp and active competition therein
alleged.
They admit that after tha formaTVin of
the securities comnanv and on NovemKoe
22. 1901. that comnanv did renueat nt h
Great Northern company to purchase such
or their shares as should be offered within
sixty nays rrom tne oate at 11 mi per shsre
and pay therefor In shares of Its own cap
ital stock at par. Except as aforesaid.
they ssy that tha securities comnanv haa
not offered 01 sought to purchase any stock
vi rimer ut oaiu railway companies in ex
change for Its own shares. They say that
the securities company has alao purchased
for caah a large amount of the ahares of
the defendant railway com nan lea an4 f
other companies.
They deny thst Jsmes J. Hill was at any
time the principal or controlling stock
holder of the Great Northern company and
say tnat while said Jamea J. Hill was for
a short time nominally a director of the
Northern Pacific company, he never east
any vote as director. The defendants deny
unlawful combination and confederacy.
