Bouth Omaha yarda over the Northwestern

Heretofore the business of the Omaha

deal of Hve mock and to haul out of Bouth
Omaha parking house producta. Bealdea
live stock the Omaha will handle a great
deal of lumber from Wisconsin. Thla, It la
atated, will be a great advantage to South
Omaha. The change will mean more work
for the yarda here and arrangement are
being made for the expected Increase In
business. With the rapid increase In busi
ness there la naturally a demand for more
trackage facilities and railroad officials are
casting about for every available piece of
property that can be use for trackage pur
poses. The building laat aummer of three addi
tional tracka from the Belt line Into the
stock yarda on the weat by the Union Stock
Yarda company relieved the congested por
tion of the lower yarda to some extent, but
aa busineaa keeps on growing more tracka

tlon of the National exchange In relation
to abolition of traveling solicitors and of
sending shippers telegrsms. As the delega
tion from Fort Worth did not arrive home
as expected the details of that portion of
the aeaalon could not be learned.
In talking about- the matter yeaterday
some commission men appeared to favor
the cutting down of expenaea by doing
away with solicitors and shippers tele
grams. Others Inclined to the opinion that
the present system is all right and held
that if a commission dealer wanted to In
crease his business by keeping traveling
representatives on the road he ought to be
permitted to do so. The same feeling pre
vailed as to the sending of telegrama to
shippers In order to keep customers ad
vised as to ths condition of the market.
The object of cutting off traveling men
and telegrams lessens expense. This mat
ter came up In the exchange here about two
months ago. but ths members were about
evenly divided. It was then decided to let
the matter drop for the time and bring the
question before the National exchange.
Several commission dealers expressed the
opinion that If the question is brought up
at this exchange again the proposed change
In the rules will carry. At present thirty
nine commission firms ere doing busineaa at
the exchange here.

atrike were in progress today a monster
maas meeting waa held at TattersaU's to
plan assistance for the strikers. Nearly
every union In Chicago was represented
and It is estimated that fully 15,000 people
were preaent at the meeting. The men
formed in procession In different sections
of the city and marched In bodies to the
hall In Sixteenth street where the meet
ing was held. Seversl sections of the
parade crossed the lines of the Chicago City
Railway company which were In operation.
but there were no disturbances or acta
of violence and the paraders reached their
destination without mishap. The meeting
waa addressed bj Clarence 8. Darrow, attor
ney for the strikers; Judge Prentiss, Presi
dent Mahon of the Amalgamated Street
Railway Employee' association and sev
eral other labor leadera. Resolutions were
adopted asking Mayor Carter H. Harrison

Teamsters Deeply Involved.
The teamsters have become more deeply
Involved than ever in the strike of the
street car men. At a meeting tonight of
representatives of all the locale of the
union In Chicago the atand taken last
week, when the drivers employed by the
Chicago City railway were ordered on
strike in sympathy with ths trainmen and
all teamaters belonging to the union were
notified to cease delivery to the plants of
the traction company, waa approved.
When the order was first Issued it was
declared by the associated teaming inter
ests of the city to be in direct violation of
contracts, and an ultimatum was presented
yeaterday to Cornellua Shea, president of
the International Brotherhood of Team
aters, demanding that the order be re
scinded or tlw employers would abrogate
every contract existing between them and
the Teamsters' union. Tonight's meeting
waa to consider thla ultimatum and the
result was a refusal to comply with the
demand. President Shea advised the team
sters against antagonising the employers,
but his words were unheeded and the deci
sion to Ignore the ultimatum of the em
ployers waa almoat unanimous.
It waa decided to call a strike of the
teamsters employed by the R. H. Jones
Transfer company, who have been making
delivery to the Chicago City Railway com
pany. Thla action, together with the stand
taken on the ultimatum of the employers,
may result in a lockout of the XOO team
sters employed throughout the city. The
employers will hold a meeting tomorrow
to decide, on what action will be taken.
While none of them would discuss the mat
ter tonight, still the impression waa given
out that the teamaters would be summarily

Some oi Federal Court Witnesses Spin Good

HOW THE JUDGE TOOK THE BOUQUETS
Life of Jnstlce ef the Peace la
Wild Nebraska la the Good Old
Pioneer Days Is He
lated.
"Any of you fellows who were in the
southwestern part of Nebraska a few years
ago certainly knew Judge O ," remarked
Sam Tate, one of the witnesses in attend
ance at federal court here this week. "Well,
the old Judge had his peculiarities and was
particularly distinguished for his sturdy
bluntness and unvarying integrity. When
he retired from the bench a number of
Inwyers out at Red Cloud conceived the
Idea of giving jihn a banquet. The Judge
was there, and during the proceedings a
series of very elaborate resolutions com
mendatory of his career were Introduced
and the mover of them had not finished
coding when the judge stopped him with
the observation;
" 'Gentlemen, there Is no use of your
proceeding further with this foolishness.
You will adopt these resolutions possibly,
but there Is not a man of you that believes
one word of them. I am too old to be
flattered by such tomfoolery. You may
pass these resolutions tonight, but to
morrow when you see me going down the
street there Is not one of you but will say
to yourselves, there goes that old foot
Judge , and I don't care If he goes
straight to hell, where he belongs.'
"A death-like quietude prevailed over the
rest of that banquet, and the resolutions
were by common consent tabled."
YThat reminds me of one," put in Tom
Flynn, a traveler from St. Paul, who was
silting In the lobby of the hotel. "We were
banqueting a friend of ours one night,
and every one of our party tried to outdo
the other In soft-ana ping the guest of
honor. When It came time for the guest
of honor to deliver himself of his expres
sions of appreciation he got off thla one:
''Gentlemen, you have so overwhelmed
me by your compliments that I scarcely
know how to reply, but I don't know but
that I feel a good deal like the old woman
who got a Jar of lovely fruit, put up In
alcohol, from some of her friends. She
sent her thanks and said; "I never was
much on fruit, but I appreciate this because
of the spirit In which It is sent.

Kansas," said Tom Burke, an agricultural
Implement salesman, "that originally hailed
from England. The name was Bailey, and
they had been in the country a good many
years, having lived some time at Concor
dia. To the Bailey family Concordia was
a little the most important place on earth.
While I was at their house a fruit tree
salesman came there and wanted to sell
them some grape plants or vines. He waa
elaborating on the beauties of the Catawba,
Delaware and Concord varieties, when
Old Lady Bailey spoke up and asked If he
had some real Concordia grapes.
" 'Yes,' he said.
"The old women insisted that he could
not fool her about 'Concordia' grapes, as
she knew all about them, as Concord
grapes originated In Concordia, Kan., and
that was how they got their name. Well,
he loaded enough 'Concordia' grapes on
those people to stock a nursery."
"There was sn old doctor In our town,
back In York state," said Charles Holt of
Syracuse, at the Paxton, "who had a
rather wayward son named Matt. The boy
all of a sudden began to profess a spirit or
contriteness, and began attending church
pretty regularly. So, at least, he gave his
father to understand. However, he gen
erally came home pretty late, and his un
steady steps Indicated that he was partak
ing pretty freely of the communion wlno,
and simultaneously the store of liquor In
his father's office, that waa used exclusively
for medicinal purposes, began to diminish.
The old doctor grew a little suspicious, and
concluded he would lay for Matt. So the
fullowng Sunday morelng the doctor asked
Matt what church he Intended going to
that morning. Matt replied, 'the Second
Methodist.' Matt went away, presumably
to church, and along about church closing
time he put In an appearance at his
father's office, went to his sccustomed Jug,
and found plryied to the handle a slip of
paper on which was written In his father's
handwriting: 'It's all right. Matt, but the
Second Methedlst is closed for repairs this
morning.' It only required a gentle shake
of the Jug to Indicate to Matt that It was
completely empty."
"The multiplicity of the poatoffice suita
brought in the federal courts here In
Omaha, as sn outgrowth of the Hastings
scandal," said W. H. Purdy of Hayes
county, "recalls the time that I was a Jus
tice of the peace out in the Stinking Water
region some eighteen years ago. The coun
try was new then and I happened to be
about the first Justice elected in that sec
tion. One day there was a fellow named
Denny living over on the Frenchman who
got Into a scrap with some adjoining cattle
men about trespassing on their range and
he brought suit In my court over the mat
ter. About all the cattlemen and settlers
for a radius of twenty miles were sum
moned as witnesses. The case was a little
too big for a Justice court, so I bound the
offender ever to the district eourt. He fur
nished bond. Bcarcely had I got this case
out of the way when about everybody
! that had been summond as witnesses be
gun clamoring to bring suit against his
neighbor for some trivial neighborhood
quarrel or petty misunderstanding.
"You see there had naver been a Justice
of the peace in that section up to this time
and all the old sores that had accumu
lated there since the country was settled
had to be aired. I was up sgalnst It good
and hard and didn't know Just how I waa
to get out of the avalanche of suits until
Anally the happy thought struck me to
have all the litigants give security for
costs. Well, none of them could give satis
factory security, ss It devolved on me to
decide whether the security was sufficient,
so by that means J got out of the scrape.
Put not until the gang had drank up my last
barrel of water snd nearly eaten me out
f f iit'l I -Te Tmi ht rn
wells there then and had to haul water
about five miles."
r '
"A justice of the peace in Hays county
In those days," continued 'Squire Puidy,
"had a little of everything to do, from
teaching school to preaching with an oc
casional Job of marrying. I was called
upon one Christmas ove to officiate at A
wedding way over in the sandhills. The
folks were Indlanans originally and had
Just settled Uere. A married sister of the
bride-to-be had her own notions as to Just
how the affair should be pulled off and 3
was Informed that I wss expected to open
the proceedings with prayer. That was a
stumper, but I had my gall with me and
when the couple stood up before me I
started In on the prayes, and as soon as I
got warmed up I couldn't see Just where
to stop. Oh, I think I prayed and preached
halt an hour anyway. Then the mistreat
of ceremonies Insisted that we must sing a
hymn and she led off with 'Nearer, My
God, to Thee.' We sung all the verses and
I could see that the bride and groom were
getting a little weary, so I Insisted that
the ceremony should begin. I made It Just
as solemn as I could, and then another
song had to come. It was an old revival
hymn with a dozen verses or more. This
finished my part of the proceedings. Then
the mistress of ceremonies announced that
the bride and groom would 'now receive
the congratulations of friends,' so the
whole crowd filed past and shook hands.
No, I didn't kiss the bride, for her husband
was a big six-footer and carried a gun.
In the meanwhile the presents hsd been ar
ranged on a table In another part of the
room, and then the mistress of ceremonies
announced that 'the bride and groom would
now come forward and view the beautiful
presents.' They did so, and the bride,
after viewing them, turned to her friends
and making a low curtsey said, on being
prompted by her slater: 'Many thanks
for ths many beautiful presents.'
"Aside from the presents In the house
were a couple of pigs and a cow outside.
The affair took place In a rod house and
I want to add that notwithstanding the
drollery of that homestead wedding I never
ate a finer meal In all my life than that
wedding supper."
