!. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES q
South Omaha News /.
AEnMnSEaMnMaTaIxaMa;NaRn&%s

General Manager Babcock OF the Union
Stock Yards company has received informa-
tion to the effect that the newspaper ac-
counts Of the severe storm in the north aud
northwest were greatly exaggerated. Re
ports from railway superintendcnts and live
stock shippers that reached the stock yards
office yesterday show that while the storm
was severe, the loss Of stock was not nearly
as great as reported, The cattle were IN
good condition and consequently were able TO
stand the extremely low temperature. Mod
crate weather since has cleared away much
of the snow and ice and the cattle nave
been found to have come out Of the storm
in good shape. This is particularly good
news to the officials of the stock yards COM
pany, as shipments from the Dakotas to this
market have been quite large this year and
heavy shipments have been promised for
next year.
In the receipt of western or range cattle
during the present year, South Omaha alone
shows an increase. The increase comes from
competitive territory. The shortage Of cat
tie at this market in comparison with former
years has been caused by the scarcity OF
cattle in Nebraska and Iowa, and has been
more than made up by the large increase
of range stun.
Something over 500. 600 sheep are now being
fed in this state which is by far the largest
number ever wintered here. These vast
foCks will come to this market next year
thus making TINS one Ot tne important Sn'tp
markets of the country. Since the dipping
troughs were put in operation at the yards
over 90 600 head of sheep have been dipped
and sent to the country to be fed during
the winter. While the government report
shows a decrease of hogs in Nebraska, the
daily receipts show that large numbers OF
hogs are being fed and marketed shippers
say that the state is full of hogs, as is also
Iowa. There is very little hog cholera in
this state, but in Iowa eighty out of ninety
nine counties report cholera.
Last weeks receipts of hogs fell of con-
siderable in comparison with the preceding
week. but this is accounted for by reason
of the bad condition of the roads and the
fact that many of the farmers are as yet
busy with their corn crop
Reports from all over the state have been
received at the stock yards office, and from
these General Manager Babcock estimates
the corn crop of the state at 300, 600 BUSH
els Eight million acres were planted in
corn this year, and in some instances the
yield was forty. sixty and even eighty bush
els to the acre.
The receipts of cattle last week numbered
IA Og4 head which was 1000 more than for
the same week in 1895. Hog receipts were
"a. $50 head. a slight decrease as compared
with 1895. The weeks receipts on sheep
were 5 GG2 head, or an increase of 3,iOO over
the corresponding week of 1895.

south Dakota supreme Court Passes
ON Two ImnnrLnnl lnscs.


PIERRE 5. D., Dec 10 tSpecial)-
Among the opinions handed down by the
supreme court Friday ID one which bears on
the question OF tax titles In which tho deci-
sion was written by Hauey, which will be
OF general interest; and one in regard to
judgments. In which the decision was writ
ten by Corson which will DC Of interest to
attorneys.
The FIRST case. entitled "Rubie Duncan
against J. D. Newcombor is from the circuit
court Of Beadle county, and aflrms the deci-
sion OF the lower court The case Is one
in which a tract OF land was proved up In
1883. ana aSsCsscd in 1885. In 1884 the PROOF
was suspended, by the commissioner OF the
general land office and after carrying the
matter before the secretary OF the interior
new proof was made in 1856. The tract OF
land was sold for delinquent 1855 taxes, and
In due course OF time a tax deed was issued
for the same The main point In the case 10
In the following language: plaintiff did not
comply with the prerequisites for the acqui-
sition OF title until the time OF her second
proof was offered. Until then she did not
have a perfect equity, and until that time the
land was not subject to taxation. Judgment
of the lower court is affirmed
This virtually sets aside tax titles secured
to tracts where there was suspension OF
entry. and new proof required before the
government would perfect the title. There
are a number of such cases over the state
resulting from the Sparks rule in the general
land office.
In the other case, a rule which has often
been followed by attorneys of the state OF
considering a judgment filed when signed
will be changed. The case, which is entitled
&C. w Locke against c. w. Hubbard" is
from Mirnehaha county, and one CT the po' N $
at issue is when judgment is filed" After
a review OF he case, the opinion Ia ut will
thus be seen that the judgment entered in
the judgment book is the only judgment men
toned in the statute. What authority, there
fore has this court to hold any paper or
record a judgment other than the one en-
tered in the judgment book?' The judgment
there entered Is the original Judgment, and
the only one the law contemplates. I'M
doubtedly the court. judge or counsel may
very properly prepare a form OF judgment
for the clerk to enter, but such paper, though
signed by the judge or court is no more the
judgment of the court than the one prepared
by counsel 1t may be and probably would
be held an order for a judgment"

NEW GARBAGE ORDIN ANCES
City Attorney Hazetlon Has Some Ideas
Intended for Improvement.
MORE LIBERAL PLAN IS PROPOSED
New Dump IL Needed and Ore south
OF the city May lie Provided
For by the
Council.
MORE LIBERAL PLAN IS P1oPOSE[

when the city council meets tomorrow
evening there will be two new ordinances
presented for approval. Each will repeal
and modify existing ordinances. City At
tornoy Hazelton has spent his spare time in
constructing them during the past week in
accordance with instructions given him at
the last meeting. One ordinance will rad
ically modify the present laws governing the
disposal of garbage, and the other will
change the existing method Of collecting
fees at the city pound.
The new garbage ordinance is Of the most
importance to the public, for 1T removes the
prohibition from any but licensed garbage
haulers carting away refuse matter. Under
the present ordinance it is a msdemeanor
for any but regularly appointed garbage men
to haul away refuse matter, although there
have been no prosecutions brought under the
ordinance for many years. 1t is still me
mace to the man who wishes to earn half
dollar by cleaning up his neghbors' prem
isos or save that amount by clearing his
own. The new ordinance Will give every
person the right to do this kind of work
provided the regulations are strictly fol-
lowed Methods OF disposing of dead ami
mails will also be changed somewhat. Here
tofore they have been hauled down to the
river bank north of Broadway and covered
up in the sand In many instances this pre-
caution even has not been taken. Recent
Investigations revealed the bodies of several
dead horses partially concealed by a single
load of manure that had been thrown over
them. In other cases foul and offensive
matter has been dumped and lightly covered
with sand, which would blow away in few
days and leave the mass exposed to the air.
The new ordinance will provide a method
that will prevent this dangerous practice.
The garbage question is serious one for
Council Bluifs. The character Of the river
at points where it's banks are accessible is
such that a garbage dump could not be CON
structed and maintained except at great eX-
ponse The present dumping ground lies
south Of the upper pumping station of the
city water works. The surrounding territory
is beginning to be settled up and there is
beginning to be some complaints of the
nearness of the grounds. 1t is possible that
the city will eventually be compelled to
| abandon 1t and either construct a dump at
the waters edge remove the garbage sew
eral miles further down the river. where it
will not be likely to interfere with settle
mcnts for many years. Either plan will add
greatly to the expense
