South Omaha News

4 special meeting Of the South Omaha
Live Stock exchange was held yesterday to
take some action on the resignation OF Gen
eral Manager Babcock. President NJ. h.
Murphy presided, and on motion a commit
tee consisting OF ". b. walwork, j. b.
Blanchard. George Burke. John Fitz Roberts
and Bruce McCullUCh was appointed to sug-
ecst some action for the exchange. The
committee report. which was as follows. was
unanimously adopted.
Whereas. w. y. Babcock has rendered
to the board Of directors Of the Union Stock
Yards company his resignation as general
manager Of the company. we, the members
Of tGe South Omaha Live Stock exchange,
composed as IL rs Of men in all lines OF
business conferred at this point, including
commission men, packers. bankers, railroad
men. stock cattle dealers and senetal deal
ers in live stock. respectfully, but most
urgently, suggest 10 the board Of directors
that a change in the management of so eX-
tens.ve a corporation at this time would be
incpportune for the following reasons:
During the eight years in which W. y.
Babcock has been general manager here our
relations with him have beea harmonious.
Conflicting interests have at times brought
about complicated situations, but at such
times we feel that Mr.. Babcock has sue
c~essfully reconciled such differences by stead.
lastly pursuing a policy at once firm and
fair to all concerned.
I'VE consider MIR. Babcock a man OF most
excellent ability as a railroader, knowing
him to be held in the highest esteem by the
different railroad arrangements, and 1t is
to this fact must be attributed in a very
large measure the success that this market
has achieved in competitive territory.
HIS intelligent and always aggressive
policy has been largely instrumental in build
ing up the business at this point and the
success attained has been a succession OF
surprises to our competitors. The market
has been steadily gaining ground, notwith
standing the past three years of crop fail
ures and depression, and is now undoubtedly
entering upon an era OF the greatest pros
perity.
I'VE recognize in Mr.. Babcock a man o.
superior executive ability and friendly t.
all the varied interests represented here.
I'm conclusion we earnestly request tina
your honorable body do not accept Mr.. Bah
cocks resignation and that there be n
change in the management at this time"
The substance OF this resolution was a
once telegraphed to President Paxton, VIII
is now in Chicago, and to Phil Armour. Dur
ing the afternoon Secretary Lott of the eX
change received a tsle gram from Presiden
Paxton. acknowledging the receipt Of tn
resolution and promising to bring it to tn
attention of the directors Of the company

Passing Away.
Like Ii Used to BE.

In his Northwest Magazine, Editor
Smalley says: In 1882 aud 1883, when I
first travelled in the then Territory Of
Dakota, the great plains were dotted with
little lakes aud ponds and the James river
was so large that q steamboat ran from
Columbia up to LaMoure. Along series
of years of light snowfall followed. Tie
ponds dried up and many of the lakes
were converted into meadows. People
SAID the climate had changed. never
took any stock in that theory, because il
is unscientific All the meteorolog lists
agree that there has been no noticeable
and permanent change in any part OF the
earth's surface since weather observations
were first recorded Only wait long
enough, and any apparently exceptional
condition will return. After long waiting
the Dakota lakes and ponds are otlce
more full of water, and in the coulees are
little streams again. The big SHOWS have
done this excellent work. Only the old
traders and trappers who were in the
country before the farmers and the rail
roads arrived, remember springs when the
country showed so much water as it aid
during the month just passed. Now for
