ABOLISH SWITCH CHARGES
Impost at South Omaha for Handling Stock
Trains Removed.
EMBARGO ON LOCAL BUS TAKEN OFF
One of the Greatest Inducements to
Stockmen to Avoid south Omaha
VIII BE Wiped Out in
Week. -

On March the railroad companies having
lines to South Omaha will do away with the
obnoxious terminal charges which have been
source Of so much trouble and which have
cost South Omaha no small amount of bust
ness w, N. Babcock, manager of the Union
Stock Yards company entered into an agree
ment with the railroads some two weeks
ago to put such an arrangement into force
the first of the month, but the matter has
been kept quiet. Ever since the first of the
year, when the railroads commenced adding
to the freight bills the switching or ter
minal charges imposed by the Stock Yards
company, there has been q constant agitation
on the part of shippers and receivers to
have either the railroads pay it out Of their
own pockets or the Stock Yards company
do the switching free. The fact that there
was no such charge at Kansas City placed
this market at a disadvantage in the COM
petition for business. The country shippers
resented the charge as an imposition and a
great many of them who were located in ter
shipments to Kansas City with the result
that the receipts here have been falling con-
s.derably behind last year.
The doing away with the terminal charge
Of sl.50 will place the South Omaha market,
so far as this end of the line is concerned,
on an equality with Kansas City and will
no doubt make II profitable to turn the stock
shipments in this direction again For the
past week or more the market here has been
considerably above the Kansas City mar
ket the buyers being anxious for stock and
the receipts not being large enough to sup
ply them 1t is thought that with the extra
terminal charges done away with 1t will be
no trouble to get all that is wanted, as coun-
try shippers will be likely to look with IA
vor upon the market paying the best prices.

lose sight of the fact that our national
prosperity and the interests of economy
cry out for the same kind of Improvement.
1T Is quite clear that no country can af-
fcrd to neglect the improvement of its high
ways, although war may be a remote con-
tingency. The advancement of prosperity
and comfort of the general mass of our peo-
pie are incentives enough to commend this
matter to the attention of the public, and
when coupled with the military security of
the land it becomes a national duty to see to
it, Although the process of this reform
may be painfully burdensome and eXpen-
sve the time would come when, having
mended our ways. we would rejoice in the
rewards that would surely follow, as the
French rejoice in the fine condition and
system of their roads.
"The disadvantage and loss to the public
caused by our present want of good country
roads as feeders to our excellent system of
railroads Is causing a glut of articles for
transportation and sale, at times when the
roads are good and a lack of articles for
shipping when the roads are impossible.
If the roads were capable Of being used at
all seasons Of the year the railroads would
transport better, the markets would be
more regular, the farmer need not sell all
his produce at one season Of the year, for
and again as means of adding to the pros
perity of the whole country, thereby increas-
ing the revenues of the government and at the
same time elevate and encourage the rural
populace by evincing a regard for and
protection of agricultural interest. the one
prominent source of the wealth and standing

ings city must decay and without the sup
port Of rural thrift a nation cannot thrive"

Which the Couple Have Been
Separated.

Frederick Belasco. actor. playwright, in.
structor in histrionies and manager of the
Alcazar Theater, has sued his wife, Grace
BeIasco for divorce. Belasco's real name
is Isaacs and it was under this rather COM
mon cognomen that he was married, and
consequently under this that he sought a
separation. As result, the fact of the filing
of the suit has only recently become pub
lie.
The Belascos have only been married
three years, having been joined in we'd
lock in Wisconsin in 1898 while both were
members of a travelling company. They
lived toget her only a year, when Mrs.
Beiasco went to New York and left her
husband here. Hence the suit for divorce
on the charge of desertion.
Frederick Belasco is brother of Davi

and subsequently as the athletic instructor
of Mrs. Leslie Carter, for whose tuition as
an actress he secured $25, 600 from n. K.

The local Belasco is well known and
clever actor and has for some time con-
Quoted a school OF acting in San Francisco
Recently he assumed charge of the Alcazar,

THE GRAND JURY.

Brief Session to Consider the Final Re-
port-A Morton-Street Scheme.
The Grand Jury held regular session
yesterday and discussed the final report.
An adjournment was taken until next
Tuesday. At that time decision may be
reached for an adjournment sine die. The
expert is working on the final report, and
should have it completed some time next
week.
The Grand Jury is advised that a
scheme has been devised for the re-
occupation of Morton street by dissoiute
women Immediately on the final adjourn
ment of this jury. Chief Crowley is
aware of the fact that man calling him
self an attorney recently collected money
from the expelled tenants on the repre-
sentarion that he could reopen the houses
for the purposes for which the apartments
were formerly used. A petition to reopen
the houses was recently signed by several
firms on Grant avenue. Members of the
Grand Jury are positive that scheme ha,
been concocted to restore the banished
tenants.
