"Single tax and woman suffrage are
the two great world movement because
loth are for true democracy," declared
Mrs. Joseph Fela, wile of the late mil
lionaire vitiKle taxer nnl philanthropist,
yesterday afternoon, to a group of Omaha
suffragist who had gathered at the
Home hotel to do her honor.
"Would ou not Include prohibition?"
asked Mra William Perry of South
Omaha.
"t'nder a single tax system, there would
he no need to agltat prohibition," replied
Mrs. fels. "It Is only the Inordinately
1 1 h, who are sick at soul and the poverty
stricken, who are sick of their aordl-i
Uvea that buy forgetfulness. I'nder the
more equable balance produced by single
tax, there would be no occasion for such
unhapplness." v
"Slaves .to things" was the manner In
which the diminutive little woman
characterized the moneyed class. Her
listener were fascinated by the charm
Ins; manner, earnestness and deep thought
of the woman who has made it her life
work to further the cause advocated by
ber husband.
' Mrs. Fela, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Kiester,

Cohn. Mrs. Fels' girlhood home was ln

The effect of the new order, which
went into effect last night, was to allow
the free movement of all live stock In

restrictions on shipments in or out of all
but twenty-one counties In the state; so
that all live stock arriving at this mar
ket from Iowa points from now on will
be yarded In the clean yards without any
restrictions whatsoever. This will permit
the shipping in of feeler stock or an v.
thing else tn the same baal. th.r .

Now that all danger of getting any ex
posed cattle Into the South Omaha yards

withdrawn the embargo which it placed
against live stoik from the eastern part
of Iowa, and the Nebraska Live Stock
Sanitary board expects togyxlthdraw Its
order requiring the rallroaur to disinfect
all stock cars before entering the state of
Nebraska, so that so far as this market
Is concerned there will be no restrictions
In or out from Iowa points, excepting the
federal restriction on the twenty-one
counties above mentioned.
Yards Mrm Elated.
The live stock interest at the South
Omaha market feel very much elated, as
they made a formal request on the bureau
of animal industry last Thursday to have

the . disease ..kept east of the river, and
appreciate the work done by the local

A great many thought the weather
more severe this morning than Monday,
lint the official read In it at tha Federal

However, there was a higher wind today
and this added to the penetrating quality
of the cold. I
The morning station reports received j

there haa been no perceptible break in
the back of the present cold spell. Thes
reports Indlcatn that last night was by
far the acldeet of the winter and that
the cold was general all the way from the

There was not a place ln Nehraska
where the temperature during the night
waa above sero and In Wyoming there
was not a point reporting warmer than
