CATTLE Receipts of cattle were llgtit
this nioinlng ana as trains were lale there
a as al no time very many cattle of any
kind on sale. The market, aa a wlioit,
was in fair condition.
Packers all seemed to want beef steers
and there waa a fair movement of the
more de&lrabie killers at steady 10 s.rong
prices. Under reasonably free bulng ttiu
offering changed hand In good season,
at least the early arrivals did.
Cows and hellers were also In good de
mand and they, too, commanded steady
to strong prices.- The early trade waa In
a good, healthy condition, and, aa a rule,
satisfactory to the selling Interests.
The stocker and feeder trade was ex
tremely dull and prices very weak. The
fact Is the trade on that kind of cattle is
the next; thing to dead. Cattle that are
too thin to work off on the killers ars
hard to move and the country can hardly
rea.ixe bow poony they are selling. , The
cause. Is to be found In trie fact that oorn
fields7 are In many cases not ready for cat
tie to be turned in, many farmers not hav
ing finished picking corn before the heavy
snow dine on. All winter pasture is buried
and that means that cattle have to be fed
on stacked hay of fodder. With the supply
of such feed running low the ooantry is
not likely to buy many stock cattle at the
present time.

John L. Webster does not think anything
good can come of' the proposed conference
on hank guaranty between the governors
of Nebraska. "Kansas and Oklahoma.
Mr. Webster was the principal attorney
In the cases wherein the federal courts
enjoined the enforcement of the Nebraska
and Kansas guaranty laws.
. Speaking of the conference asked by
1 Governor Haskell, Mr. Webster says:
"I do not see how any good can come
out of a conference by the governors of
Oklahoma. Nebraska and Kansas over the
bank guaranty law as proposed by Gov
ernor Haskell. The federal courts have
enjoined the enforcement of the laws In
Nebraska and Kansas and I have no doubt
that the federal courts would enjoin tha
enforcement of the law In Oklahoma If a
proper suit were Instituted In a proper
tribunal.
"There Is something fundamentally
wrong and vicious (n principle In legisla
tion which proposes. elUier directly or In
directly, to lake the property of one man
and give It to another as a gratuity, or
to compel one man or company to help pay
the debts of another whn he Is under no
obligation, contractual or otherwlae, to
do so.
Bttaal Rights to All.
"The provision of the constitution which
guarantees 'the equal protection rf the
laws' carries with It the idea that all
men are entitled to equal rights In prop
erty as well as In pr-rson. Any law which
takes the property of one man and g'ves It
to arioth.-r for nolhlng Is Irani robbery of
the one and a conferring of fpeclal privil
eges upon the other. Such things are
fundamentally wrong- and they cannot be
made right by any species or form of state
legislation.
"The bank guaranty law belonKS to a
class of legislation that has no proper
plsce In a republican form of government.
I 60 not - believe thet these lams would
have been pasted In either Nebraska, Kan
sas or Oklahoma Lf.the political agitation
In their favor had been . combatted by
thinking men aad by reasonable methods.
When the agitation was, started It was
permitted to run Its course without oppo
sition, with the result that the three states
named stand out prominently as having:
departed from sensible and conservative
business methods and as having, adcpled
a system of paternalism that la In viola
tion of the national constitution and out
of harmony with the well being of a free
people. Should the governors if the three
states hold the conference proposed by
Governor Haskell the beet thing they can
do would be to advise the people of tlielr
states to repeal the bank guaranty laws.
FRISCO SIGNS TO DISAPPEAR
After Jaaaarr 1 Rock Island Will
Have Explosive Possession of
Ita Omaha Office.
Beginning January L no more Frisco
business will be transacted directly In the
offices of the Rock Island line at Four
teenth .and Farnam streets. An order haa
been received from rtie ' Chicago offices
stating that the divorce of the two Inter
ests will take active effect on New Tear s
day.
During the past five or six years the
(lock Island llnea and the Trlsco system
have had Joint offices In Omaha. Prior to
hat time the Frisco Interests had an of
fice of their own and It is now consid
ered likely that separate beadjuarteri
will be maintained in Omaha in the fu
ture. "For the present, at least, a traveling
freight agent will probably be In charge
of the Frisco business in Omaha." said an
official of the Hock Is. and lines. "It is the
general impression, however, that the old
system of two offices will be adopted, al
though we have no advice to that effect.
We have been ordered to discontinue the
Frisco business here and the signs of that
railroad will be erased from our windows."

"We will have the use of the big pipe

Mr. Savidge met Mayor Dan! man on tht
