among those at the lake that the body OF tho

In connection with the case there was a
rumor on the streets yesterday afternoon
that before starting for the lako the Judge

rumor was found to be groundless.

Affairs mt the Packing Houses Hot Weather

Affairs at the Packing Houses Weather
Causes Light Receipts.
The receipts Of cattle at the Union stock
yards continue very light and will robably
not increase materially before the middle of
the present month. The reason is obvious,
and other markets are faring but
little better. The western grassfed cat
tie are not yet ripened for market
and the cattle country of Texas has not been
long enough opened up the South Omaha
market TO make up the deficiency in the re-
ceipts. Kansas City has an advantage by
reason of controlling the Texas cattle trade
and has done so for a number OF years. But
the missionary work done in Texas during
the past two months has had telling effect,
and during the coming year South Omaha
will take away 10000 head OF Texans which
heretofore have gene to Kawsville.
The local packers are experiencing cousid-
erahe difficulty just at present in securing a
sufficient number of cattle for slaughteriug,
but confidently anticipate large supply OF
choice packers stuff before many days more
have passed. The Hammond Packing COM
pany was to have begun the active slaugh-
terinR of beeves Monday, but the number
killed has been very small and not so large
as was intended. When the receipts and
quality pick up that company will push mat
ters and increase their sluughtering.
While II is true thai the receipts of cattle
have been very light during the past two
weeks a considerable increase is shown ever
the same period OF last year and the reader
must not permit the idea to enter his head
that The South Omaha market is not going
ahead and prospering. The receipts OF hogs
continue good and each day shows an
increase over the corresponding day of last
year. A month later the receipts of cattle
will be much larger and there will DO gen
eral rush and activity in business about the
yards that has never been equaled. The
increased yardnge will then come in good
play and the yards will be taxed to their
utmost. All look forward to a prosperous
fall in the live stock industry and certainly
the outlook warrants the belief.

township School Dlstricts.

Township School Districts.
The attention of all school district
officers and voters and taxpayers in
townships is called to the following
circular from Hon. George Wagner
explaining the purposes and advnr
tages of the township school district
law fathered by him ut the last session
OF the legislature and now about to be
introduced in many Upper Peninsula
counties. The advantages offered by
the new law will at once commend
themselves to the parties for whom the
circular is intended:
10 Township Officers and Jotcrs OF
/ ne Upper Peninsula.
GENTLEMEN:--Act No. 17G of tho
session laws OF 1891, provides for the
organization OF township school DIS
tricts III the Upper Peninsula, leaving
1T optional with the electors of eacI
township to adopt or reject the new
system. In order to get the benefit Of |
the new law it is neccs ,ary that a ma
Jorlty OF all the voters, who voted nj |
the last election, sign petition to
tncif respective township boards for its
adoption, (the signatures Of electors
Who did not vote ut the last election
viii be useless OH q petition for ,he pur-
pose OF such organization.) As the in
trodncer of this measure, deem Il
advisable to explain to the voters and
taxpayers OF townships il the Upper
I enlhsuia, TWO OF the main benefits to
DC derived from such organization.
First-It does away with the school
boards OF the several school districts in
yoaf YOU, respectiye townships, ansAI.AUiiir, anal tAeir
and composed of the school inspectors,
township clerk and two trustees, to be
years respectively
Second-As under the primary
school laws of this state now in ex-
istencc no school district can be com-
posed OF more than nine adjoining
sections, the school axes levied in such
districts must be spread upon those
nine sections only. Under the act
above referred to, each organized
township becomes single school dis.
trict (as in cjties), and therefore all the
lands comprised therein pay their pro-
portionate share of school taxes as
they pay now their share of the state,
county, and other township taxes.
In townships where this y.tem has
been adopted and in force for several
years it works very satisfactorily, ard
l am glad to learn that many super
visors ON this peninsula are already
preparing to adopt the new system at
the spring election.
Yours truly,
GEO. WAGNER.

Something About the D. M, 20.
The Diamond Match Company hes

largo corporations and increased lis

to subscribe for the new stock at par.
AS it is now quoted at lag, the right"
to subscribe for any of the stock at par
is an exceedingly valuable one.
That the monopoly which the COM

remembered that the Diamond Match
corporation was reorganized about
three years ago with capital stock OF
$G, 600, 900, every holder in the original
corporation getting two shares OF the
new Illinois stock for one OF the old
New Jersey concern. The company,

capital stock only three years ago, has

concerns, however, good deal o.
