In this week's issue of THE

discusses muscular develop

opinion, is the worst form of
exercise; why much modern
physical culture is a fallacy,
why the three-mile boat race
is better than the four-mile,
what "warming up" really sig
nifies, how pugilists are beaten
by a liver, and the meaning of
fatigue poisons.
" Memories of Authors," ir
this same issue, form the con
tinuation of William Winter's
reminiscences. He speaks
charmingly of his Boston

Donald McLeod, on the rel
ative merits of the Scotch and

Record,
By deciding In favor of the Chicago,
Great Western Railroad company and
against the Interstate Commerce commis
sion In tho case Instigated by Chicago com
mission and live stock dealers, known as
the "meat cases," tho supreme court of
the United States has enabled the Omaha
market t) retain an advantage which
amounts to thousands of head of cattle and
hogs annually being sold in Omaha, which
would otherwise go to Chicago.
This Is the opinion of live stock dealers
of Omaha, who received the decision with
something akin to enthusiasm and a burst
of applause. (
goon after the Great Western pushed Into
Omaha a rate of 20 cents per 100 was put
Into effect on packing house products from
the Missouri river to Chicago. Other roads
met the rate, but the late of cents on
live stock from the Missouri river to Chi
cago remained In force. Chicago commis
sion merchants attacked the rate because
It enabled the finished product of the pack
ers to be shipped toy Chicago at a lower
rate than the live stock.
McVann Old In the Flsjht.
B J. McVann, now secretary of the
Omaha Grain exchange, was commissioner
of the Bioux City Commercial club and
trafflo manager of the Sioux City Stock
Yards company at the time the complaint j
was filed before the Interstate Commerce
commission In 1901 Mr. McVann at once
realized that if the rate on live stock was
cut 3i cents between the Missouri river
and Chicago, It would not only cut off ship
pers sending cattle and hogs from Iowa
points in a strip seventy-five miles wide,
but it would enable stock men shipping to
Missouri river markets to try the market
In Omaha, Sioux City and Kansas City and
forward stuff to Chicago at a much lower
rate than exists.
Mr. McVann organised the Missouri river
cities to fight the lowering of the rate on
live stock between the Missouri river and
Chicago and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission ruled with the Chicago complain
ants and Issued an order lowering the rate
to 20 cents. The railroads refused to estab
lish the rate and the Interstate Commerce
Commission appealed to the United States
clreult court. The ctrcult court stood by
the railroads and the Missouri river cities
and held that they had the right to reduce
the freight rate on live stock products
without making a similar reduction on the
live stock Itself. When the case came up
before the United States supreme court on
an appeal taken by the commission, the
supreme court affirmed the decision of the
circuit court and the rates will remain 20
cents on live stock products from the Mis
souri river to Chicago and 23H cents on live
stock. This gives the Missouri river pack
ing centers the advantage of a higher rata
between the river and Chicago and makes It
more than likely that the average stock
man will sell on the Missouri river and save
a transportation charge of cents per
100 pounds.
Missouri river live stock dealers credit
Mr. McVann with winning the case, as
tho perfect organization of Interests which
he secured presented the matter through
competent attorneys In such manner as to
settle it forever.
