Big Damages Asked by the American Live
stock Company.

The Kansas City livestock exchange was
made defendant in a 100000 damage suit
which was filed with the clerk Of the dis
trict court OF Wyandottc county Thursday
last. The American livestock commission
company. an association whose members
ara principally large stock dealers of the
western country. is the plaintiff.
President Frank Cooper and the directors
OF the exchange are made parties TO the suit.
The case Is the uutgrOwth of the fight
which was waged by the exchange on the
American company 4 few weeks ago.
The petition filed Thursday is very vol
luminous and alleges conspiracy on the part
OF The defendants TO prohibit the Plaintiff
company from transacting business at the
local yards.
The plaintiff first alleges that the mem
berS OF the Kansas City livestock exchange
have couIederuted in an incorporated body
To regulate the buying and selling of live
stock; that the exchange was organized III
1855, and that by reason of the exchange
and the rules governing the same it has be-
come practically impossible for one not
member thereof to purchase or sell live
stock; that while the rules allowed its mem
brrS 10 buy direct from the farmer Vet
they prevent one from dealing with any
person IN the yards who is not u member of
the exchange. The plaintiff claims that
shippers are compelled TO pay charges as
fixed by rule g which is in direct violation
of the Roe bill, which was passed al the re-
cent session of the Kansas legislature.
The petition further alleges, among
others, that the members of the exchange
confCderated together 10 prevent the sale
OF stock 10 other members of the exchange;
that the refusal Of defendant association 70
deal with any other parties than members
OF the eXcha"e renders it impossible to sell
stock on the market which is consigned TO
the plaintiff company.

action is no bluff, and that the exchange

NAUGHTY UNCLE JERE.
His Interference with the Quarantine Lines
Makes Trouble.

Makes Trouble.
Up At Washington there is 4 benevolent
appearing Old gentleman with a fiOrid
face and snowy beard who bosses the de-
partment of agriculture Uncle Jere 5
home is in St. Louis and he is of course
thoroughly familiar with cattle, agricUl-
tural and livestock interests But il is
safe to say that Uncle lere has no friends
among Texas cattlemen. The reason
for this is Mr.. Rusk's actions. The gov
errors Of several Western states and ter
ritories have after months of patient effort
succeeded in establishing satisfactory
quarantine lines. Then along comes Uncle
Jere who assumes the governors know
nothing about it. They have never lived
in St. Louis and raised cattle. and how
should they know. He coolly establishes
his quarantine line 300 miles further
north and the result is he has
played the very deuce with
cattle shipments from Texas to the North
and placed the cattlemen between the devil
and the deep sea. The lines established by
the governors was on the lines heretofore
used and there has been no disease This
arrangement was satisfactory to all con
cerned until Uncle Jerc cOmplcates matters
By establishing another quarantine line for
the govesnmeut. This is embarrassing to
the cattlemeu, and especially to the rail
roads. Contracts have been made with
the roads 10 move many thousand head m

been changed troubles have afisenF The
Denver is already waiting to haul tcattle
out and this delay is proving decidedly
and demanded by other lines. Cattle ship
ments from Texas alone are affected, no
trouble being experienced with New Mex

General Superintendent Duncan of the
Union Pacific, who has just returned from
trip over the Fort Worth line, is very
1ubilant over the crop prospects in the
Southwest. He believes this will prove u
very prosperous year for the railroads
While in Texas be was informed that the
acreage of wheat in the Panhandle was
fully 800 per cent greater than last year
The acreage of all crops has been increased
all over the state, and the crop prospects
all through the Southwest are very bright
Mr.. Duncan believes if the hopes of the
farmers are realized there will be a great
era OF prosperity, and of course the rail
roads will come in for their share of the
benefits. Mr. Duncan says the country
along the Fort Worth line is developing
very rapidly Denver News.
