ALL STOCK WINTERS NICELY General Freight Agent Miller and Division Freight and PasHenger Agent Jones of the Northwestern, w ho accompanied the members of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange out on their annual trip through the range country, have returned, having left the party at Casper, Wyo., Fri day. At Casper the live stock men were turned over to the Burlington, going to Powder River and thence over that company's lines to Miles City and back by way of Fillings, re turning to Omaha the last of the week. Relative to the trip Mr. Mil ler eald: "I think the South Omaha live stock men are making a most profita ble Jaunt through the range country of the central west. They are laying the foundation for securing a largo volume of future business, and then they are doing some good advertising for Omaha and its market. "At all the stops mado tho visitors were alven a hearty welcome anil made to reel at home, apparently each town doing Iti best in the way of entertaining. We met a fine, lot of progressive, apurcsslve and up-to-date, business men and every where thu towna seemed to be prosperous. Conditions Are Circnt. "I have never Keen the conditions In the range country better .than now; that Is, considering the time of year. Cattle. Fheep and horses came through the win ter the best In years. While the latter part of the winter was severe, there be ing a heavy fall of snow and a long period of cold weather, the losses were at the lewest minimum. This was due largely to the fact that ranchers, cattle raisers and flock masters took the best kind of rare of their animals. Last summer they put up an abundance of hay and other kinds of coarse feed, and best of all, they provided shelter. If a bad storm came on the animals were boused and fed and not forced to ream the range, picking dry grass through the snow as was the rule some years ago. "All over the range the grass Is starting nicely and Is beginning to show green In the alleys and In localities were the prtund gets the direct rays of tho sun. "The quality of stock on the range Ih about the same as last year and I am of the opinion that the run of range cat tle will start a little earlier than In former year, due to the good condition nf animals at this time and because the season Is a little farther advanced than usual." trikrn by the roltlslrin and th amnvil was .liot. Frank ltd an, who was riding with Ourk on tho machine, was given fJo and costs with suspended sentence.

One of the horse's legs waa Superintendent Kugel of the police de partment states that he has been ad vised that tho Jitney bus operators of the city are preparing an ordinance for the regulation of this business. Mr. Kuscl. nt the direction of the city council, has been collecting data on this subject from variovis cities and expects to have within a few weeks some recom mendations to make, looking toward reg ulation aa requested by tho Hanscom Park Improvement club In a recent letter. JITNEY UPSETS COAL WAGON INJURING TWO Frank Vaad. jr., Forty-elcht li and Pa cific streets, sustained severe bruises Fri day afternoon when a coal wagon on which lie was riding with Frank 'Vans, jr., was overturned in a collision with a jitney bus. The accident occurred at Fortieth and Farnam streets. Both occu pants of the wagon were more or less hurt, but were able to reach home with out any asslstanccC'Tho lad fell directly beneath the Inverted box of the vehicle. "I was trying a big ae without witnesses." said E. J. McVann, re turning from Chicago for a breathing spell, and referring to the fiRlit he Is making before the examiner of the Interstate Commerce commission to prevent the Increase) of a dime per ton on soft coal shipped to Omaha and vicinity. "It will cost the coal dealers or consumers of Omaha and South Omaha $52,599.66 a year moro for freight on their coal, according to the railroads' own figures, if the pro posed Increase In rates is allowed," continued McVann. "And yet I was hack there alone as combined counsel and witness. This seems to bo due to the Indifference of both the coal dealers and consumers." Tho freight annually paid on soft coal shipped lnt' Omaha and South Omaha Is $79f,!27 OS, according to a chart of figures made up by the railroads. Some 640,000 tons of this coal conies annually Into Omaha and South Omaha. The Increase proposed in the schedule of general ad vances the railroads are trying to put through, calls for an additional 10 cents wer ton on this coal. The coal dealers have no organisation locally that is particularly Interested In tho case. If the advance goes Into effect they will put the extra dlmo cn the price charged the consumer, so "they should worry." The consumer Is not or ganized, so that It Is impossible for him to make a complaint. Hesidos there is not one conaumcr in l.OiO In tho city that has seen a schedule of the proposed west ern advances. Naturally he docs not know how much ho is t lose If the ad vance is permitted. It would take a solid freight train ten miles long to carry all the coal consumed in Omaha and South Omaha In the coaran of a year, for the figures show that 12,836 cars come In annually.
