AFFAIRS AT SOOTH OMAHA.: i Scarcity of Cattle Declared to Be i 4 use ior mse in Prices of Meat, FEED SCARCE FOR ALL KINDS MarrlRe of Prof. Johnson of Com mercial Department of High School Announced Hone to Sooth America. rattle men at the Union Stock yards say the present rise In meat prices Is In no wip9 due to the financial machinations nf the packers. Receipts at the stock yards show that, for the corresponding week of last year this week's receipts are 10.000 head of cattle short and 9,000 head of sheep and hogs. The high prices of meat therefore are attributed directly to shortage of cattle, which in turn is due to the shortage in feed stuffs. In the early pa-t of the year up to March there was a free marketing of all farm animals, but the quality of this year's crop shows a marked degree of loss in quality. Dealers claim that as compared with the quality received in the month of May there was n fnlHrur rft rt ic . , . "i irr ten i in me quauiy of hogs during the last week. The aver age weight of hogs declined eight pounds and as compared with a year ago are twenty pounds below the average. Stock provisions at the South Omaha market show 46,000,000 pounds as against 43,000,000 pounds for the corresponding period last year. Wheat is 20 per cent higher than a year ago and feed stuffs generally have gone up to a point that renders tho feeding of stock unprofitable for the present. At the markets of Chi cago. Kansas City and Omaha it is cal culated that there is a cattle shortage equal to 22,000 head. Altogether the rise In meat prices and packing provisions is looked upon as a natural result of scarcity of feed stuffs, late spring, short crop and cholera. It is - said by the dealers that the cattle market may not be replenished for several years to come. Treaanrer Want Help. Unless all signs fail the city council will be asked Monday by City Treasurer John GiUin to give more help to the tieasurer's office in the shape of a collector of personal taxes. This was the line up Saturday when the suave treas urer corralled a number of the county commissioners and had them sign a letter approving the appointment of a collector of personal taxes for the city. The letter will probably be presented to the city, council Monday night when the treasurer will use it as a lever for pry ing loose another Job for some faithful follower. It is quite certain that the city coun cil will agree that a personal tax col lector is a good thing in the abstract Some years ago E. L. Howe, then city treasurer employed a man to collect the personal taxes, but at the time Treasurer Howe maintained his office with fewer clerks than at present. Those who heard of Gillin's last move to increase his already efficient machine expect that the council will recommend Treasurer Glllin to send one or two of his office force out to collect the per sonal taxes if the need be so great as urged. Hoe May Leave Soon, a There Is a quiet though - persistent rumor that General Manager R, C. Howe of Armour & Co. will soon turn his posi tion over to. his successor, who Is said to be Harry Finney of Fort Worth and formerly of South' Omaha. It Js known that General Manager Howe has been for several years the mainspring in the development of the Armour inter ests in South America. The work of building the immense Argentina plants is now abtijut complete and it is said that Mr. Hoe will be called upon to assume active charge. Wheijl interviewed on the prospective change General Manager Howe yesterday denied any knowledge of the matter. The l-umor, however, seems to be definite. Professor's Romance. One of the prettiest romances of the season came to light yesterday with the announcement of the marriage of Prof. R. H. Johnson, supervisor of the com mercial department of the South Omaha High school, to Miss Frances Prowder, a young, and charming w.oman of La Salle, 111. The couple were married at Fremont on March 14, , but . decided to keep the wedding a secret until Prof. Johnson had concluded his school work tor this term. So Mrs. Johnson quietly returned to the home of some friends and Prof. Johnson pursued his daily work of instructing the 4'outh of the city in the intricacies of typewriting and commercial work. ' The secret leaked out through some friends, who revealed the fact that Prof. Johnson was building a modern bungalow on Twentieth street, between J and K streets. Suspicions were aroused and when pressed Prof. Johnson acknowledged that he and his bride expected to make their home in the newNiungalow after a trip to Stromsburg, Neb., where Prof. Johnson has property and relatives. Prof. Johnson has been at the head of tho high school commercial department for. some years and Is held in high esteem by both authorities and pupils. He is a graduate of the state normal and was formerly head of a large commercial col lege in Missouri; Mrs. Johnson is popular with many gouth Omaha people whom she has come to know since her sojourn in this city, ('rased Man Saved. Because Judge CaiVman sentenced him to pay $25 and costs for having discharged several shots at some friends, Elic Nuns of Twenty-eighth and R streets tried to heat out his brains against the stone pave ment of the Jallyesterday forenoon. When Desk Sergeant Billy Corrigan tried to enter the cell rooms In order to calm the mad man, Nuno rushed to the tier above the ground and made an effort to throw himself headlong to the floor. Desk Sergeant Corrigan, however, suc ceeded in reaching Nuno before he took the fatal plunge and the crazed man was placed in strait Jacket and locked !n the solitary room. Alumni Reception. The annual alumni reception to the senior class last , evening at the high school building . brought the commence ment week exercises of the South Omaha High school graduating class to a close. Former graduates, friends and teachers attended and wished the outgoing class great success In the future. The building was beautifully decorated In. the school class colors. The high school orchestra under the direction of Prof. R. H. Johnson furnished the music, and Miss Agnes Fltigerald and Ted Brat ton sang a number of vocal solos. In the Past It has been the custom to give the seniors a dance instead of a reception. Because o' the large number of persons who attend who are unable to dance, it was thought best to give a re ception instead of a hop. loe of Street I-'alr. Saturday night marked the close of the Ai-Sar-Ben Social club, street laJr a?t- City Hall 000 '' A pretty training teacher. Miss Isabel Linn, member of the class of 1913, has promised to .become the bride of Carl Newport, clerk in the city engineering department. "But I am going to teach a year first," declared Miss Linn.

Mr. Newport a week of fairly successful exhibitions In South Omaha. The rain interfered with the performances Friday night, but last night the crowd was again a record breaker. - A large delegation of Eagles from the aeries of Omaha, Florence, Ben son and Council Bluffs attended the ells- ing of the show last night. The receipts of the week will be used by the club to defray the mortgage now on the Eagle home at Twenty-third and N streets.

Confiding Stranger Gives Money Away Abner Cahill of Sheridan, Wyo., Is out $100 because he trustingly confided to a "sheriff from Montana" whom he-met on a train coming Into Omaha yesterday aft ernoon. Cahill was peacefully riding in the coach eating an orange and resting his feet on the opposite seat when he was accosted by a stranger in the same car. A conversation was soon started be tween the pair and it developed that the stranger was a sheriff from somewhere in Montana who knew everybody In Sher idan. As the train neared Omaha Cahlll's confidence- In the " stranger bocame very , strong and he suspected nothing when he was asked for the loan of $100. At the depot the stranger pointed to some grips on the platform which he requested Ca hill to watch until the stranger returned with .the borrowed money. No amount of coaxing would convince him that his money was irrevocably lost, and at mid night he was still watching some luggage belonging to a woman in Chicago who had checked them through to Fremont, Neb Twenty Oregon Maids On Boosting Tour Twenty pretty Oregon maids, every one a booster for her native state visited in Omaha about twenty minutes last night. Each of the girls came from a different town in Oregon and were, en route to New York on an "Oregon Boosting" trip. At each stop they, all got off the train and distributed advertising literature and otherwise attracted-attention. They are accompanied by a matronly chaperon, who superintends their efforts at boost ing Oregon. When they alighted from the train, only a dozen or more persons were in the depot, but they had not been around more than three minutes before the depot was crowded. They left after a stay of twenty minutes.

WILLIE GANNON STAYS AFTER MFJP0PIC CARf-FR Willie Gannon, a man about town, who has been stopping at the Henshaw for the last month, was arrested at the Bur lington station last night by Detective Frank Murphy Just as the former was preparing to leave town and a board bill amounting to $70 at the hotel. At the station it developed that Willis not only owed the Henshaw, but also a couple of tailors, a haberdashery and a Jeweler. The Brodkey company on Doug las street had sold Gannon a $500 dia mond early In the afternoon and It is understood that Gannon also bought a $6,000 automobile. These last two were not delivered because Gannon suddenly found it to his best interests to get out of town. . "Were all medicines, as meritorious as Chamberlain's Colic.

It is easy to find fault, but hard to suggest remedies. We have in Nebraska as able, efficient and honest a list of Judges, both on the supreme bench and on the district bench, as can oe found In any state and our lawyers as an average are second to none in the country. But as time pro gresses and business increase, changes must be made for the expedition of busi ness of the courts. The Fame com plaint exists In all states. It is much exaggerated by politicians to aid them In their political effort to gain favor and ascendancy to office. It is not so much what they think is right, but what will single them out as reformers that they may secure an office or be re elected and perhaps be listed In a lecture bureau and gain the Chautauqua platform and add to applause 'and perquisites. When It Is all over and they get what they want.. they try to forget the means by which they gained It and we gradually do forget It, but will not admit publicly our mistake nor profit by our experience. hut are ready to follow new fool killers as soon as we can get back to a healthy and normal starting point. It is interesting to look over the past and see the fool things we have done and followed, yelling, panting, coatless and bare-headed, making so much noise that we could not hear Reason as she stood patiently by us, endeavoring to reason with us. We caused ourselves much worry and loss and suffering and others much more, and we are glad after all that the thoughtful, patient, quiet and conservative, the hope and safety of our country, prevailed. As to tba district courts In Douglas county, I believe that the old custom of beginning the fall ternt In October should be changed and the fall term should be gin as It does, tn the supreme court, in the first part of September of each year and that there should be four of our seven Judges trying civil Jury cases and two trying equity cases Instead of three trying civil oases and three trying equity cases. We seem to have Judges enough and the Jury civil Judges, and the Judge of the supreme court, are always busy. To lessen the enormous amount of work of the supreme court, we should have and must have sooner or later an Intermediate or appellate court, as is had in many states, or have an Intermediate court for large cities only, . such as Omaha, as Is had In St. Louis, Kanaas City and many other states and for many other cities, thus cutting off many appeals that go to the supreme court and raise no new questions of law and which are not of a public nature and are not of serious urg ency and which have no bustsess there. To .say that there should be no appeal from the district court If the amount in controversy Is small Is not fair to the person to whom a small amount Is of more concern than Is a large amount to those of much wealth. If appeals could be had to an Intermediate or circuit court, then very Justly, appeals to the supreme court could be limited to criminal cases or felony cases and to cases, Involving questions of public interest and of great Import and of serious urgency. We should expedite, the work of our district courts as well as that of the su preme court,' which latter can only be done by relieving it of some of the mass of the work thrown upon It It is all rot to abuse the supreme court for delays. What we want Is careful and well-seasoned and well-reasoned opinions of our highest court so that they are not the laughing stock of courts and lawyers of other states. Recently It has been get ting to a place where It can be cited in other states without a laugh and sneer, which was not done in former years, al though Its reputation was worse than it deserved. The loudest yellers against our supreme court are often fellows who do not know a cross-road on a Judicial Journey. ' What we want is new and more expediti ous plans and laws for results. Criticism alone will not bring them and he who begins to work and suggest remedies often when struggling In the labyrinth of pres ent conditions and perplexities, gets quite tame In his criticism. CITIZEN. Controlling; Social Evils. , OMAHA. June 8.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: I was surprised when I read the report "of the sermon of Rev. T. J Mackay In The Bee upon the subject "What W1U Make Omaha a Bigger City,-' relating to the social evil, he is quote I as saying: "The Albert law has become a greater menace to Omaha than any other that has ever beeu passed. It :i an unwise law and should be repealed. The unfortunate women should be kept In a restricted district." The Albert law Is a copy of the Iowa law under which the city of Des Moines became famous. In short, If enforced It effectually closes every house by Its legal process of Injunction issued from the court It directly reaches the owner of the property. 1 Is impossible to run a public house of evil, unlets the lai Is deliberately Ignored. V If Rev. Mr. Mackay could Induce tlT . good women of the city to establish a I home, Jiospital and training school where these women could regain their health j and be qualified in body and mind to j earn an honest living, and, above all, 1 devise ways and means of securing to girls and women employment at uch wages and under such Improved condl- 1 tlons where they are employed, to th3 I end that they will not be driven to the I underworld as a means of obtaining j something to eat .and wear or a place to: sleep, and that they may be relieved ! from the temptation of men-I say, If 1 Rev. Mr. Mackay can accomplish such 1 j result by organizing the good women of ' the city in the noble work of saving I souls In such a practical way, he. will have preached the greatest sermon of life. . I have no doubt that the time will come when we will have Just such institutions I In all of our cities. This will be the first remedy and others will then naturally follow. The old de bate is worthless as to whether segrega tion or no segregation is best. Neither ever tends toward a remedy. Women should not be driven into pub- 1 1 lie housier ,if vice by the city upon the theoij that -uch Is regulating the evil. Women should not be sent to taM o I fined for immorality any more than men, j I whether h or out of public houses. A city which has adopted the policy; janrt has a segregated district should I have no right tn drive the women out without first offering them a place, or make conditions where they may learu self-support.
