During the last week or two some OF the
packing houses have been receiving ship
ments of Texas cattle purchased on the
Kansas City market cheaper than native
cows could be bought here. stockman
said yesterday: THE juggling of railroad
rates in this matter is little better than
highway robbery. BY the rates in force
Texas cattlemen are compelled to market
their stock in Chicago, St Louis or Kansas
City, while Omaha packers are more than
anxious to take 1900 or 1900 head of these
cattle every week Texas shippers will have
to make a good, vigorous kick If they want
to get another outlet for their stock" The
Fort Worth Mail-Telegram has stirred UP
the matter, and in a recent issue had this
to say:
with these facts staring us in the face
it is hard to see just why they should be
so. Why Texas cattlemen should be com
PEELED to patronize certain markets and de-
MED the privilege of other markets or pay
excessive charges, is a commercial situa-
tion that is unpleasant to the Texan as
well as the market which is denied him.
II Texas cattle are worth more on the
South Omaha market than on the Chicago
or St Louis markets why should they not
be allowed to go there on the same pro-
portionato rates the roads charge to the
latter markets? Why should not Texas
shippers be allowed the same privilege
of shipping to Chicago via Omaha as well
as the Kansas, Colorado and other western
cattle growing states? That is the point
The way the matter stands in regard to
this it does seem that the Texas shipper
has kick coming. If South
Omaha looks to Texas to have
the matter rectfed they never can
find better time to set about
1t than now, while they need every cent
they can get on their beeves, as the market
is so low w. H. McCreary, local cattle
buyer for the Cudahy company Of
South Omaha, stated to Mail
Telegram reporter that his firm
alon paid out in Kansas City for
Texas cattle $4,000 last year, which hand
some amount might just well have been
paid direct to the Texas stockmen."
1t is understood that the Texas cattlemen
will endeavor to have the rates changed
so they can ship to Chicago via South
Omaha, with the privilege of a stopovGr
if desired the same as western range cattle

When j. H. Young went to his home at
Ga Mynster street at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
morning he was startled by finding his front
door open, the house lighted up and his
wife sitting up in bed grasping a revolver
with a well defined shooting expression on
her face. In explanation she informed her
husband that II he came a moment sooner
he would have found couple of burglars in
the house.
A faithful little watch dog sleeping on a
lounge in an adjoining room was aroused by
the presence of the burglars in the house,
and at the alarm Mrs. Young raised up and
saw two men making a careful inspection
of the premises in a very leisurely way.
She spoke to her dog and reached for her
gun but the burglars did not wait to see
whether she would shoot or not but imme-
diately fed. They had lighted the gas In
the front part OF the house and took plenty
of time to do their work. They could not
have been out OF the yard when Young re-
turned. An investigation showed htat
the room occupied by John Ma
loncy, who rooms in the house,
had been entered and his pocket
book containing S. had been taken from his
pantaloons The burglars had effected an
entrance by the use of key in their own
possession that turned the lock-
Half an hour before Mrs. Clinton who
lives next door, was awakened by some one
trying to enter her home in the same way
The key was in the front door and the
efforts OF the burglars to work il out or
turn II with nippers awakened her She
promptly called out and frightened them
away.

Two New Ordinances Which Affect

Two New Ordinances Which Affect
Its Interests.
Yesterday afternoon the city attorney com
pleted the drafting of an ordinance com
pellng the Metropolitan Street Railway
company to erect ornamental iron poles
within the city limits in place of the
wooden ones now in use. Another ordi-
nance has also been prepared compelling
the motor company to place all wires un
der ground. This latter ordinance will be
introduced by Councilman Hyland, but there
is no show of it becoming law. 1t is eX-
pected that the rules will be suspended at
the meeting Monday night and the amend
ment to the milk ordinance providing a
penalty for milk dealers who fail to take
out license be passed The ordinance com
pelling insurance companies to pay an oc
cupation tax of $25 will come up, and no
doubt will be passed, as the general feeling
is that the companies ought to pay some
part of the city's burden. Chris Hartman,
chief insurance inspector at Omaha, stated
yesterday that if the city council passed
the ordinance levying a tax of $25 on each
company he would fight the matter in the
courts. Such a tax would bring in rev
enue of about s1,250 annually. The courts
have held that villages and cities of the
second class could levy an occupation tax
on insurance companies
