by Comparison.
Omaha, or to speuk more politely, South t
Omaha, is fast changing Its man. linn as a
lock market and if the reports of previous
year continue to be smashed up with dally
regularity the packing houses of that city
will take the top position.
Monday saw the breaking of a record In
receipt of cattle, the total number being
W.i'lfl head. coming In 6U3 cars, which was
7.UU0 more than the receipts for the same
day of last year. Tuesday was the occa
sion for an unparalleled avalanche of mut
ton; 4U.1W sheep were received in ISO can. I
This Is the largest number c n record. All of
this stock ha beun of the best quality and

A summary of the business done by the
(South Omaha market and the activity of
the other larger markets In the country
how thai only Chicago Is In the same
clam a far as increase Is concerned. In
nttle South Omaha breaks even with Chi
cago in gain and distance all the others.
In hog no other market has kept up so I
well and all show some loss.
The supremacy of South Omaha In sheep
la still maintained and there are signs that
it will lose Its hold on the sheep raisers.
In the last eight months there ha been a
gain of )0,ouo over 1'JUI, which was the
record year until this year.
Slimy Record lirokrn.
In making this splendid shoeing many
records have butn broken, notably the fol
lowing: The year to date has been the heaviest
since the stock yards were established In
the receipts of both sheep and cattle, dur
ing which time there ha been Wl.lsH head
of cattle and 1,243,6!) sheep handled on the
South Omaha market.
August, 1U1U. wa the largest month in the
history of the market, w hen 9.670 car loads
of live stock were received and unloaded
at South Omaha, which T SM cars hi excess
of the receipts of the largest previous
month. The last week of August, ending
Saturday, September 3. was the largest
week, 2,463 cars. August 31, W10, was the
largest day In point of receipts which the
market has ever known, 770 car loads of
live stock having been yarded and sold at
South Omaha, eighty-seven car loads more
than on any previous day.
Notwithstanding the Immense volume of
business that 1 being handled at the South
Omaha market dally the market continues
in good condition, and the outlet I more
than eo.ua! to the heaviest receipts. No
better test of the stability of the tiouth
Omaha market could be offered than the
business which has been done there this
season. The continued Improvement "f
crop conditions over the territory tributary
to the South Omaha market offers a most
encouraging outlook to the western ship
pers at die present time.
More records are bound to fall. The fol
lowing is a summary table of the gain
made by all the big markets in the first
eight months of the year:

Corn shipped from Omaha.
Nebraska alfalfa oeats a bank this fall,
say the Wyoming stockmen.
Throngs of stockmen ure at the Mer
chants hotel these days. All stock that ia
fit for marketing Is being sent to Omaha,
specially from the Wyoming ranges. The
price Is good, even for light stock, and the
range feed Is woefully short
"Alfalfa In Western Nebraska Is now
held at 120 ton In the stack," said one
Wyoming lanchmau. "Some of us are
here to buy corn, strange as juch a state
ment may seem. Wo find it can be bought
and laid down cheaper from Omaha than
In the towns out In the stale. Hay Is out
of the question, for even the cheapest
would stand us $20 a ton on many of the
Wyoming ranches."
Nebraska stockmen, with rare exceptions,
have no such complaint to make as the
Wyoming ranchers. Sufficient rain ha
fallen to keep the pastures in fair condi
tion, and hay h.rul corn aro more easily
obtainable where necessary than on the
Wyoming stock ranches. Where these lat
ter are far from a railroad the situation
is becoming really very serious.

C1U1TEN TRIAL

Prosecution Charges Poisoning on
Part of Man Accused of Murder
of Chorus Girl Wife.
HYOSCTN FOUND IN REMAINS
Evidence that Prisoner Bought Quan
tity of Deadly Drug. j
INTEREST IS STILL INTENSE
Notorious Fugitive Still Object of
Great Curiosity.
GIRL CLEARED OF ACTIVE PART
MIm l.eneve Held on Accusation of
llelnsi Accessory After the Fact
Dcnd Woman la Called
Belle."
LONDON. Sept. 6. At the opening today
of the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen.
who Is charged with the murder of his
wife, Belle Elmore, the prosecution " an
nounced that , large quantities of poison
had been found in the woman'i body and
that there were evidence that she had
been subject to an operation.
Ktliel Clare Leneve, the doctor's typist,
who accompanied him In his flight to Can
ada after the disappearance of his wife,
and who has been held on the'same charge,
also was brought to the bar today, but the
crown stated that It had been decided to
confine the allegation against the girl to
being an accessory after the fact.
This relieves .Miss' Leneve of any charge
of foreknowledge of the crime and is in
line with the belief of her family and
friends that she did not share Crlppen's
confidence up to the time that his wife
dropped out of sight and was said by him
to have died In California.
Interest in the Crippen case, which was
Intense during the search for the doctor,
has by no means worn out, as was shown
by the crowd which slithered In the vicin
ity of the Bow 'street police court when
the trial was opened today.
Travers Humphreys appeared for the
public proserntcr's office, while Solicitor
Arthur Newton represented Crippen. Mr.
Humphreys made a long opening address.
Statement of Proaecntor.
In the course ot his remarks the prose
cutor definitely stated that the physician
who made the postmortem examination of
the mutilated parts unearthed In the cel
lar of the Crippen home In Hilldrop Cres
cent, Camden Road, had discovered the '
presence of large quantities of hyosctn, a
colorless liquid poison, and also detected !
evidences that an operation had been per
formed. !
It had been known that the authorities j
had been working on the theory that Belle j
Elmore' had fceeit In the hands of one hav- I
Ing at leant a crude knowledge of surgery, ,'
and further that she had been poisoned, j
The official announcement of these al
leged discoveries, however, have not been
made before.
At the time of the arrangement of the two
prisoners on August 29, Mr. Humphreys
said that the government's evidence against
the typist pointed only to her as being
accessory after the fact. Today' he said
that It had been decided to thus limit the
charge against her. The prosecution spoke
f Mrs. Crippen as Belle, the name used
y Crippen when referring to his wife. The
two, the prosecutor continued, had occupied
separate rooms for four years. For at
least three years, lie said, Miss Leneve had
been Crlppen's mistress. In January Miss
Leneve was feeling her position In regard
to Crippen acutely, and particularly so at
that time, when she expressed considerable
Jealousy of Mrs. Crippen.
Chicago Man Mentioned.
In a written statement made to Inspector
Pew, when the Investigation first opened,
Crippen said Belle was living In the pro
tection of another man when he married
her In Jersey City. The doctor also spoke
of Bruce Miller's alleged acquaintance with
his wife while he was in America and
frequent threats which Belle had made to
quit him and go with another man who oc
cupied a better position In life.
Crlppen's statement concluded with a
story of the quarrel on the night of January
31, after Paul Martlnettei and Mrs. Mar
tinettei, .who had spent the evening with
the Crippen, had left the house. During
the quarrel the doctor said that his wife
threatened to leave him on the following
day.
On returning from buslnesa on February
1 Crippen said he found that his wife had
gone. He took steps to prevent a scandal
and fabricated the story of her trip to
California and her death there.
Counsel added that If It were possible
to get Bruce Miller over here from Chicago
he would be Invited to attend the court In
order that the prisoner's statements might
be put to a test.
Doctor Purchase Poison.
Speaking of the post mortem, the prose
cutor said Dr. Wilcox had found more than
(Continued on Second Page.)
Roosevelt stepped forward quickly and
seized his arm Just above the elbow. He
explained later that he did not know who
the man was or what hi Intention were
and that he had taken hold of his arm a
a measure of self-protection. His vigorous
action did not deter the man from finishing
what he had to Bay'. He shouted out:
"Your expense are being paid by the
people of the United State."
Although Colonel Koosevelt wa the first
to act. other ran quickly to assist him
and even before the man had finished his
remark two men seized him. The colonel
dd not release his grip until the stranger
was moving rapidly from the stand. He
was ejected from the platform and was
swallowed up In the excited crowd. An
effort was made to find the man, but all
traces of him were lost. No one of those
who had feen him knew who he was.
Colonel Roosevelt said that he wa not at
all alarmed by what had happened. H
merely caught hold of the man to guard
against the possibility of any sudden mov,
he ssld.
The man was arrested later and charged
with disorderly conduct. He said hi name
wa John Martin, hi occupation a painter,
and hi residence In Fargo.

order brought by Din J. Connell, and re
fured to prant the order. The recount was
resumed at 2 o'clock.
In making his decision, Jjdge Troup
held that the word recount as used In that
section of the statutes governing county
boards was Intended to mean a recount
of the votes from an Inspection of the bal
lots rather than a mere recount of the
vote from the poll books as turned In by
the Judges and clerk of election. A court
of- equity, the Judge said, never enjoins
a public officer or a public body from per
forming the duties Imposed upon them by
law,
A meeting of the state canvassing board
will be held today at Lincoln to review the
decision of Judge Troup. With the recount
again under wuy In Douglas county and
a district court decision upholding Its le
gality. It is expected that the state board
will await the result of the recount before
awarding a certificate of nomination In the
democratic gubernatorial race.
The recount will occupy about two weeks.
although it Is Impossible to say just when
the finish will be. The recount will be on

ST. PAUL. Sept. 0. Theodore Roosevelt's
speech 0:1 cmsei lhn delivered tu.ljy at
the National Conservation congress, w.u
received with I ho" wildest applnuso. It
was several minutes after hu Rixso to
speak before ho could make himself
heard, so persistently did the crowd cheur
him.
Colonel Roosevelt outlined 111 idea as
to conservation, bavin that tho reckless
and uncontrolled whs to of the past must be
stoppid, bo declared himself ill favor of
rigid steps to piuscrve tho country's nat
ural resources Tor the benefit or the whole
peoplo and to check the power nf
monopolistic corporations.
"Much that I have to say on the sub
Ject of conservation will be but a repetition
of what was so admirably said from this '
platform- yesterday," suld Colonel Roose
velt. His compliment to the president wa
lrcelwd with a cheer.
Minnesota, he suiil, had been one of tht
first to take hold of the conservation
policy In practical fashion.
"And," he added, "It has done greal
work and Is an admirable example to tht
rest of the United States, doing work rep
resenting a policy well set forth In your
governor's addiesa yesterday. I am glad
this congress Is held In u state where wa
can listen to such addresses as hsve been
made by your governor, who had a right
to speak for conservation." '
Wntervtay and Knllroad.
In speakln.t of the control of waterways
by the railroads, Colonel Koosevelt warned
the people not to sit supine and let the
railroads get control, only to say later
that thoe at the head of the railroads were
very bad men. .
The ex-president then turned to the ques
tion of drainage, departing from his pre
pared speech. Where the land to be drained
lay entirely within one state, he said It
might bo well, foi;, the tlin for the'etatei
to take control fit lbs mte,-,,. Swamps
which extend over parts of more than ont
state he said, should be improved by tht
federal government and he thought It would
be better If state swamplands should ot
ceded back to the general'government thai
It might do the drainage work.
"All friends of conservation," he con
tinued, "should be In heartiest agreement
with the policy which the president laid i
down In connection with the coal, oil and
phosphate hinds, snd I am glad to be able
to say that at Its lateslon Congress
fully completed the work of separating the
surface title to the land from the mineral
beneath It.
"The average American Is sn efficient
man," he added. "There Is great reason to
be proud of his achievements, but there Is
no reason to think we cannot excel out
past."
Kansas nti Example.
Speaking of the railroads Colonel Roose
velt said:
"There are classes of bulk freight which
can always go cheaper and better by water
If there is an adequate waterway and the
existence of such type of waterway In Itself
helps to regulate railroad rates."
Relo.rlng to lil recent trip through Kan
sas as showing the lively Interest the peoplo
there have In such spend lng their own
money for the Improvement of their water
ways, the speaker held up as an example
that should be emulated by other nates,
tho couise that had been followed by
Kansas.
When Colonel Roosevelt came to that part
of his speech referring to the national con
servation commission, he told the story of
the Introduction "by a congressman from
Minnesota" of an amendment to tho civil
1 service bill whlcn he said wa designed to
put an end to the work of tho commission.
His recital of this ttory threw the crowd
Into an uproar.
A man in the balcony shouted:
"No, what tlo you think of Townoy?"
The colonel went on to say that the mat
ter came up Jt:t at the clone of his term
In tho While House. If he remained presi
dent, ho said, ho would have paid no at
tention to this provision of law, bicaura
he believed It to be unconstitutional. This
declaration was applauded loudly.
Speaking of loiestry, he declared, amid
tremendous cheering, that after winning
so much In tho fight for conservation, If
the people lose what they had fought for,
they bad themselves only to blame.
"But," he added, "wo ore not going to
do It."
"It has been shewn," he ald, "that the
states in the cast could not do the work a
well as the national government and we are
now netting tho national government to
take Ihoe lands biicft nnd do the work.
When we are doing that In the cast, it
seemed to me the wildest felly to ask us In
the west to repeat the same blunders that
are now being remedied In the east."

Colonel Koosevelt said:
"America's reputation for efficiency
stands deservedly high throughout tho
world. We are efficient probably to tho
full limit that any nation can attain by
the methods hitherto used. There la great
reason to be proud of our achievements,
and yet no reason to believe that we can
not excel our past. Through a practically '
unrestrained Individualism we bavu reached
a pitch of liteially unexampled material
prosperity, although th distribution of till
prosperity leave much to be deslud from
the standpoint of Justice and fair dealing.
But we have not only allowed the Individ
ual a free hand, which wa. In tho iuu.lii .
right; we have ulao allowed grout corpora
tion to act a though lliey weru individ
uals, and to exercise the rights if Indi
viduals, in addition to using the va.i com
bined iuwer of high oigahlkatl'in and enor
mous wealth for their own advantage. T . 1 1 a
development of corporate action, It is true.

the gigantic dovelopiiient ol our natuial
