SWINE SHOW IN
BIG HORSE BARNS
Problem of Location for Big Event
ii SoWed by Everett
Buckingham.
TO BE HELD HERE IN OCTOBER
T. F. Sturgeon, editor of the Twen
tieth Century Farmer, returned from
Chicago, where Omaha was definitely
decided upon as the location for the
National Swino show. This show
will be held either during Ak-Sar-Fen
week or the meek immediately
following. While In Chicago Mr.
Sturgess met with the committee
from " the National Swine Growers'
association and presented to them
the many reasons why Omaha should
b the location of this great rhow.
"Flv. cltls were after the swine show
tt. Louis, Kansas City. l Moinea,
Waterloo, la., and Omaha." said Mr.
Eturirrss. "Dei Moines was the closest
competitor. Among the many reasvia
why Omsha war chosen may he men
tioned ll( fact that It situated In the
ver heart of the hog producing country.
Kecclpta of hops at South Omaha last
year were greater than at any other live
stock market In the L'nlted Btatra. with j
the single exception or unioago. Then
too, the fine, well lighted and ventilated
sanitary horse barns recently built at
the stock yards afford Ideal housing for
the thousands of aristocratic hogs that
are expected to be sent here from ail
over the" country. Added to this, Omahu j
lifts a publicity bureau In connection with
the Commercial club that Is not equalled
In any other city, and they will give
aid in promoting this show among ths
hoe ralcers of the I'nlted States that
will be a great help to the association
in making thelr first exhibition a suc
cess." II ok Association romlaar.
One of the first results of the rhoslng
of Omaha ns the location of this show
Is the securing ef the meeting of a com
mittee of the American Poland-China
Kecord association, whlrh ordinarily
meets in Chicago, on February S. The
reason for the change of meeting place 1
that they wish to have this occasion to
inspect the borse barns, where the show
Is to be held.
Within tbe last few weeks V. .V.
McFadden of Chicago, president of tha
National Pwlne Growers' association, and
James 1. Doty of Shenandoah, la., secre
tary, have visited Omaha, looked ovc
the horse barns and the city general!:'
and both seem to have very much Im
pressed Tilth what Omnha hor. to off.'i'
In the v.tr' ct sdventages for r.-.t'onel
meet In 3.
Offers Horse Barns. ,
General Manager Everett Buckingham
of tho local yirH was great assistance
in having Omaha chosen as tho tirst
meeting place. Members of the associa
tion were at t lors to provide sufficient
beadpuartera for the, exhibition of the
stork unless an expenditure of I3.000 or
&),0M was awarded, when the local man
user stepped f.irward offering th local
horse and mule barns as an exhibition
barn. ' The ' offer was Immediately ac
iSpted, and affiliated swina organisations
of the country Thursday voted Omaha as
heir first meeting place. . .
l .
Outside the Yards. ,
While the horso barn Is located at tbe
stock yards it is entirely outside tbe
yards and a Ion distance from the hog
division, so that the. show hogs would not
come In contact with market hogs and
be exposed to cholera. They would be
unloaded at special chutes and would not

(Continued frori Yesterday.)
He caught up the wpon as he spokti
and thrust It under her eyes. The maid.
uh a qu.verliig little scream of horror,
shrank back amid a murmur of sym
pathy from the crowd. She could not
speak.
"Isn't it truer" persisted the prosecutor
harshly. "Answer my question or te I
lis just what you d d see when you came
Into the theater upon your retvsrn from
the errand."
Bursting Into a storm of tears, Janet
fling out her arms In a wild gesture.
'It ?s true." ele sortbvd. "Mees Page,
my mademoiselle, she was standing and
she bad se revolver pointed at Mr. Pol
loc'i and he lie ran out of se room."
At the words, Mary, whose hands h:tl
been twite': :ng nervously throughout th
maid s t at mony, rose to her feet with a
little gasping cry as if she would speak,
but before the words earns she swung
suddenly at out and crumpled Into a little
heap on the floor.
In an Instant the whole room was on
its feet, surging forward toward the
deck, and the sobs, of the maid wer
e.-hoed by more than one woman amoni
tho ipectators, where sympathy for the
time ran high, though the pendulim
swayed back when someone said shrilly
with a derisive laugh:
"She's a good actress, Is Mary Page!"
But tho Judge's gavel quelled the ex
citement and the dire threat back of
his curt words that unless there was
order in the court he would clear the
room, waa Ilka oil upon the troubled
waters of the sea of' onlookers, and
they sat In hushed silence as Mrs. Page
sod Langdon knelt beside , the uncon
scious form of the slim young prisoner,
bathing her temples and chafing her
wrists until the momentary respite of
nullity forsook her and she opened her
eyes to the suffering of reality.
At the sight of the fear on both
lngdop's and her mother'a face, how
ever, she struggled bravely 'to' regain
her self-control, and when the clerk
called the next witness,' she was again
In her chair. Very white and wan. but
erect, her pallid lips Set firmly to bold
back the threatening tides of emotion
and weariness that Were' sweeping' 6er
her.
The drumming In her ears and the
little waves of nausea that are the
aftermath of a fainting fit made events
Llurred to her for a little time, and it
was with a start of surprise that ahe
recocnlsed In the new. witness her erst
while leading man.
The mere sight of his graceful, figure
and his boyish face; that handsome
Juvenlla expression that was, his stock
In trade brought a flood of memories
surging over her. and tha shocked pity
In bis eyes made her realise keenly
the difference that lay between Mary
Page the prisoner and Mary Tage the
star.
Ills testimony was to a great extent
a repetition of what had gone before.
He had been at tha banquet; bad seen
the boy bring the messaga to Miss Page
and had ridden her good night when she
left. A few minutes later the sound of
the shot had taken him down the hall
where Pollock and Mary lay the one
dead the other unconscous.
"It was I who first urged that some
one call the police," he said In his well-
trained, youthful voice. "I would have
gone myself, but I wanted to be sure
first whether I could be of service to
Mls Pare."
"Waa that the reason you refused to
lravo the room when ordered to do so
liy Detective FarleyT" The prosecutor's
voV-e was dry.
"I resented bis tone, sir," answered tha
young actor. "And besides," flushing.
"I waa her lending man and I felt that It
it waa my place to be with hor rather
than that a lot of strangers should hsng
about."
An Involuntary smile crossed tangdon's
llpa, but they grew grave again at the
next question.
"After your ejection by Detective- Fax
ley and Mr. Iangdon did you leave the
hotel?" .
"No, sir. I waited in the hallway In
i case t was wanted."
"Did you re-eiter the room?"
"Tea, air not Immediately, but when. I
heard a confusion of voloea following the
re-entry of the house detective and Mr.
Lngdon.
"Could you hear what waa said?"
Tho actor flushed and hesitated, and
then snawered slowly:
"Tes sir In part."
"Win you please repeat what , part
you heard?"
"I heard Mr. Langdon say. "But good
Ood, there's only one door; abe must be
some place in here.' and the detective
said, .'Well, ehe's not you can see that.'
Then Mr. Langdon said, "There's the
window perhaps she's out there I'll
see." And his voice sounded queer snd ex
cited ss If he were frightened, snd the
dotectlve said. 'No nothing doing on
that, sir Just remember, Mr. Langdon.
that as yet I've no way of knowing
whether that shot wss fired before or
after you entered thla room!' "
. "Did Mr. Langdon reply?"
"Tes; he said, 'You damn fool, ' what
do you mean?" But Just then the. police
came up and rain In, and I went on In
with them, aud the detective shouted,
'Some of you go down that flra escape
and hunt for a girl in an evening gown
without either cloak or hat and one of
keep your eya on thla roan Langdon he
was either In this room or at the door
when David Pollock waa murdered!' "

MAY HAYE STEAM
COAUHORTAGE
Dealen Says There is Only Enough
on Hand to Last for Forty
Eight Hours.
SEVERAL TRAINS ON THE WAY
st any polri rssn through tho ctock
ysrds.
While tho Jeta'.ls of the pUn have not
been worked out it Is proposed to appro
priate a large rum .for premiums. It Is
expected that the cash prizes will bi
large enough to attract tbe beat breeders
of hogs . In all sections of tbe countiy, j
east as well as west, lr the swine snow
proves to be as popular and aa successful
ss its promoters anticipate it Is planned
to make it an annual event at Cmaha.
While it ii asserted that there is
no particular alarm fe'.t ovrr the sit
uation, it Is admitted thst here In
Omaha the eoal proposition has
reached a soniewhnt serious stage.
The facts are that right now the sup
ply of steam coal la extremely short
and there Is not enough on hand to
Inst more than forty-eight hours.
However, there Is plenty en route
from the mines and the only thing
that would bring on a steam-coal
famine would be a storm of sufficient
severity to' tie up the railroads.
8o far as domestic coal Is con
cerned, there is an abundant supply
in storage, with the exception of
some of tbe poorer grades of soft
coal.
Steam coal Is used In the heating
plants of all of the office and factory
buildings, and. consequently the demand
for this class of fuel Is the greatest.
It (a sold at a close margin and dealers.
Instead of laying In stocks and deliver
Ing from their yards, tnxe It off the
rarg as they arrive, thus making dellv.
ery to customers.
Cornea from Kansas.
A good 'portion of the steam eoal
burned in Omaha comes from the fields
at Pittsburg. Kan. It Is found at a
depth of six to ten feet, and Instead of
securing It by sinking shafts, the ground
la stripped off the. coal veins snd the
cosl loaded onto cars by steam shovels,
similar to those used In excavating for
foundations. .
For the last tww weeks the weather In
the vicinity of Plitsburg has been bad
so bad that men have been ab e to
work out of doors only a portion of the
time. As a result the output has been
materially lessened.
It la assorted that at this time thrr
are more thin a doten tialns of sieira
coal enroute to Omaha from the Kansas
mlnea, due to arrive within the next twn
or three days. If this ge"s In ss exp.vted,
no Inconrenlene-s I going to be experi
enced, but if these trains shauld be laid
out by g storm cr snow blockade, Omi
bas steam coil supply la going to be
very short.

Conductor Drops
Unconscious from
Ptomaine Poison
Charles .'tuart, conductor on a West
Lesrenworth street car, lsy on tha resr
platform of his ear last night for many
minutes unconscious from sn sttaek of
ptomaine poisoning before be was dis
covered. It waa around T o'clock snd
the ear wss speeding along In the neigh
hurNeod of Forty-fifth and Bedford ave
nue, when the motorman, noticing that
he had received no signals ef any kind
from bis conductor for some time, went
to the rear of the ear and found his com
panion prone on the platform, uncon
scious. Police surgeons were summoned, snd
the man was removed to his home, 819
South Twentieth street, where his con
dition is now said to be Improving.
The electric street lighting situa
tion Is commanding attention Just
now among city commissioners and
dtltens. Mayor Dahlman expressed
1.1s views In this manner:
"During the last year and a half
the commissioners have been sought
time and again by citizens who de
i snd more lights. We held the mat
ter oft about two years ago on the
strength that the legislature would
vellove the situation, but we all know
nhst happened at that time.
"With our present funds and under the
present system wre can not add more
lights, but under the plan proposed by
the rlty electrician it appears we can
add nearly th) more lamps without In
creasing the expense.
"Some are talk'ng about the city buy
ing the equipment snd then getting the
current from the company on s straight
measured basis,, the electric is nips to be
handled on the same plan aa the gs
street lighting now Is managed. If any
body will show me where tho money
can be found for buying the equipment
now, then I will he for that- plan, but
what I want Is to get theeo people more
lights now. otherwlsn I Inlend to fig the
responsibility Where It belongs. At the
best It would take seversl years for the
city to get a municipal plant In opera
tion. I am for municipal ownership of tha
electric light plant If such ownership can
he kept out of polities, but I do not pro
pose to allow a msn to get control of
the electric light plant and then use It
as a stepping stone to get himself elected
governor or Cnlted States senator."
The city council committee of the
whole will discuss the proposition next
Monday morning.
KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF
SECURITY IN UNION MEET
The Knights and ladles of Security
of Greater Omaha held their first union
meeting at the Swedish auditorium
Thunsday evening. Several more of the
union meetings are planned In order to
create a "get-togetber" spirit among the
I various councils ef the city.
The program opened with a vocal solo
by Dan L. CahlH ass's'ed by Mrs. George
Allen. Nathan Bernstein gave an Inter
esting talk of "Doetr ne of Service." Fol
lowing the speaking the floor was cleared
for dancing. -
